Purpose : Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) primarily occurs in preterm infants suffering from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and kept under mechanical ventilator care. Therefore, this study aimed to examine various risk factors for PIE, to identify conditions that can decrease the possibility of PIE development. Methods : PIE classification was conducted for 183 patients diagnosed to have RDS and receiving mechanical ventilator care with pulmonary surfactant between March 2000 and February 2007. The characteristics of each patient were analyzed through retrospective examination of their medical histories. Results : Among 183 patients, 17 had PIE; all factors, including birth weight, gestational age, RDS grade III or above, chorioamnionitis, and premature rupture of membranes, were statistically significant (P<0.05). The period of mechanical ventilator use was statistically significant, but the peak mean airway pressure and peak partial pressure of inspired oxygen were not. PIE mainly occurred on the right side or both sides rather than the left side and mostly developed within 72 h. The PIE group showed higher mortality rate than the control group, and the major cause of mortality was pneumothorax. Conclusion : Risk factors for PIE in infants suffering from RDS and kept under mechanical ventilator care include low gestational age, low birth weight, chorioamnionitis, and premature rupture of membranes. If any risk factors are noted, the infant must be observed closely for at least 72 h after birth.

배경: 이번 연구의 목적은 체내이식형 양심실 보조장치의 개발을 위한 안전하고 간편한 동물실험 모델을 확립하는 것이며 이동작동형 완전 인공심장의 양심실 보조장치로의 사용 가능성을 알아보는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 7마리의 Corridale 양을 대상으로 실험하였다. 5번째 늑간극을 통하여 좌측 개흉술을 시행하고 좌측 유출로 캐뉼라는 하행 대동맥에 Dacron graft을 사용하여 연결하였고 유입로 캐뉼라는 좌심방에 삽입하였다. 우측 유출로 캐뉼라는 하행 대동맥과 같은 방법으로 주폐동맥에 연결하였으며 유입로 캐뉼라는 혜동맥을 하방으로 젖혀 우심방이를 노출시킨 다음 우심방이에 삽입하였다. 4마리에 있어서는 양심실 보조장치를 전복막강(preperitoneal space)에 위치시켰으며 2마리에 촤측흉강 내에, 1마리에서는 외부에 위치시켰다. aPTT는 수술전 aPTT의 2∼2.5배로 맞추어 주었다 결과: 수술중 또는 수술직후 사망한 경우는 없었으며 7마리 모두 인공호흡기 이탈이 가능하였고 스스로 기립하고 음식물 섭취도 가능하였다. 1마리는 술후 2일째 혈전 색전증 및 인공호흡기 작동 잘못으로 사망하였으며 2마리의 겨우는 술후 2일째 각각 양심실 보조장치의 작동 잘못 및 호흡부전으로 사망하였고, 3마리의 경우는 술후 4일째 혈전색전증으로 인한 급성신부전 및 호흡부전 등으로 사망하였다. 1마리에 있어서는 28일간 생존하였으며 양심실 보조장치의 구동 장치에 연결된 라인의 마로로 인해 양심실 보조장치의 작동이 정지되었으나 바로 양심실 보조장치를 제거하고 살릴 수 있었다. 모든 경우에 있는 캐뉼라를 삽입하고 양심실 보조장치를 작동시키는데 큰 어려움이 없었다. 7마리 중 4마리에서 혈전이 발견되었으며 특히 판막을 연결한 부위에 혈전생성이 많았다. 그러나 캐뉼라에는 혈전생성이 없었다. 결론: 양에 있어서 좌측 개흉술 및 전복막강 공간에 양심실 보조장치를 위치시키는 이번 동물실험 모델은 체내 이식형 양심실 보조장치 개발을 위한 좋은 동물실험 모델이라고 생각된다. 또한 디동 작동기형 완전 인공심장의 혈전생성을 억제할수 있는 방법들의 연구개발이 지속된다면 장기간의 체내 이식형 양심실 보조장치로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

미숙아에 있어 주로 표면활성제의 부족으로 인한 호흡곤란증은 미숙아 사망의 주원인이 된다. 호흡곤란증의 치료목적은 적절한 환기를 통해 체내 산소화를 유지시키는 것이다. 인공호흡기 치료를 받는 미숙아에게 필수적인 간호중재인 기관지 흡인술은 그 효과를 극대화하기 위해 흉곽진동법과 같이 사용될 수도 있다. 그러나 미숙아를 대상으로 하는 흉곽진동법은 그 중재의 안전성이나 효과에 대한 과학적 검증 없이 시행되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 호흡곤란증 미숙아에 있어 기관지 흡인술 이전에 행하여지는 흉곽진동법이 산소화와 기관지 분비물에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위해 20명의 호흡곤란증 미숙아를 대상으로 대상자내 반복실험연구가 설계되었다. 독립변수는 기관지흡인술이전에 흉곽진동이고 종속 변수는 산소 포화도, 심박동수, 그리고 기관지 분비물의 양이었다. 각 대상자는 무작위 순서에 따라 한번은 흉곽진동없이 흡인을, 나머지 한번은 흉곽진동과 흡인의 두 가지 형태의 흡인을 경험 하였다. 연구 결과, 기관지 흡인술이전에 흉곽진동을 실시하든, 안하든 산소포화도와 심박동수의 변화양상에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나, 융곽진동법을 실시한 경우가 실시안한 경우에 비해 더 많은 양의 기관지 분비물을 흡인하였다. 이는 기관지 흡인술 이전에 실시하는 흉곽진동법이 미숙아의 체내에 부가적 산소소모를 초래하지 않는 반면, 기도로부터 더 많은 분비물을 흡인하는데 효과적임을 시사한다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the antenatal ambroxol administration to mothers who were in danger of imminent preterm delivery in preventing the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(RDS). Forty-two preterm newborn infants who were delivered at Yeungnam University Hospital from January 1996 to December 1997 were divided into two groups, 21 in ambroxol-treated group and 21 in control group. Six cases of the respiratory distress syndrome were developed from 21 ambroxol-treated infants, but 13 cases of RDS, from 21 control infants. This result indicated a significant reduction of the occurrence of RDS by antenatal administration o[ ambroxol (p<0.05). There were no differences in the occurrence of adverse effects of ambroxol in mothers between the two groups. There was also no difference between pre- and post-treatment hematologic and biochemical parameters in ambroxol-treated group. In conclusion, when premature delivery is expected, the administration of ambroxol before delivery enhances lung maturation in premature newborn infants and prevents the occurrence of respiratory distress syndrome without significant adverse effects.

Cross contamination between a patient and rescuer or CPR trainees can occur when performing mouth to mouth ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). On the other hand, there has been a lack of research on the filtration efficacy of face shields that are designed to protect people from cross-contamination. This study aims to secure the safety of rescuers from communicable diseases in pre-hospital emergency settings and CPR trainees by verifying the protective effects of face shields. The FA shield and CM Shield were used to verify the safety. The bacteria collected from filters used by CPR trainees were incubated. These incubated bacteria were smeared onto the new filters, and were then blown out through the filters using a Bag Valve Mask (BVM) and the pathogens at the front and the back of the filters were checked. While the FA shield was effective in preventing the transmission of pathogens, the CM shield did not prevent the transmission of pathogens. Therefore, some of face shields that received national certification are ineffective in preventing cross-contamination. Accordingly, it is necessary to verify the safety of other face shields used domestically.

Seven constructed and three natural tidal flats were compared to evaluate state-of- the-art of creation and restoration technology for tidal flats. parameters studied were physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soils and rate of respiration. The natural tidal flats had higher contents of silts, nitrogen and organic matter compared to the constructed ones. The natural ones had reductive Bone below 2 cm whereas the constructed ones had oxidative zone from the surface to below 20 cm. The bacterial population in the soil of the constructed tidal flats was one to two magnitudes lower than that in the natural ones. Biomass of macrobenthos and microbial respiration rate, however, were not different significantly between the natural and the constructed tidal flats. The purification capacity by diatom+bacterial+meiobenthos and macrobenthos in the constructed tidal flats was higher than that in the natural ones due to deeper permeable layer for purification in the constructed tidal flats. There was an exceptional constructed tidal flat with similar physico-chemical and biological characteristics to natural ones. Shearing stress to the surface of the tidal flat by the flow of seawater was as low as that of natural ones. These hydraulic conditions seemed to be a controlling factor on structures and functions of tidal flats. The control of hydraulic condition seemed to be one of the most important factors to create natural-like tidal flats.

COPD(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)는 장기간에 걸쳐 기도가 좁아지는 폐질환으로, 규칙적 운동은 호흡을 용이하게 하고 증상을 개선할 수 있는 주요 자가관리 중재법 중 하나이다. 건강정보 데이터와 인공지능을 사용하여 규직적 운동 이행군과 불이행군을 선별하여 자가관리 취약 집단을 파악하는 것은 질병관리 측면에서 비용효과적인 전략이다. 하지만 많은 양의 데이터를 확보하기 어렵고, 규칙적 운동군과 그렇지 않은 환자의 비율이 상이하기 때문에 인공지능 모델의 전체적인 선별 능력을 향상시키기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사 데이터를 사용하여 머신러닝 모델인 XGBoost와 딥러닝 모델인 MLP에 오버샘플링, 언더샘플링, 가중치 부여 등 불균형 데이터 처리 기법을 적용 후 성능을 비교하여 가장 효과적인 불균형 데이터 처리 기법을 제시한다.
