Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG(ATCC 53013) 유산균은 현재 가장 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 프로바이오틱 유산균들 중 하나이다. 이 유산균은 내산성, 내담즙성, 특유의 콜로니 모양, 장 정착성, 병원성 세균에 대한 경쟁적 저해작용 등의 선택기준을 통하여 분리되었고, 그 특성이 밝혀져 있다. 프로바이오틱 유산균의 선택기준이 진보하고 있지만, LGG 유산균은 아직도 매우 우수한 프로바이오틱 유산균이다. LGG 유산균은 그 유전적인 특성뿐만 아니라 설사예방, 아토피성 습진, 호흡기 감염에 대한 우수성이 임상시험을 통하여 입증되었다. 최근에는 임산부와 영아의 과체중에 대한 개선효과가 임상시험을 통해 증명되어 있다. 향후에는 특정 유산균 단독이나 과학적인 방법으로 선택된 프로바이오틱 유산균의 조합에 의한 유익성을 중심으로 복합 균주의 효과에 대한 새로운 증명이 기본적인 임상시험을 형성하게 될 것이다.

This study examined the spirituality of dental hygiene and students and examined whether it affects the stress that may occur during clinical practice. The research tool consisted, clinical practice stresses, and general characteristics. It was held from March to July 2019 for 280 dental hygienists and students in K area. T-test and ANOVA were conducted for differences in spirituality and clinical practice stress according to general characteristics. The correlation between spirituality and clinical stress was analyzed by Pearson corrlation coefficients. As a result, dental hygiene and clinical practice stress of students were negatively correlated with spirituality, major satisfaction, and academic performance. If the motivation to apply to the department was grade, the clinical practice stress was higher. The limitation of this study is that it is impossible to make a concrete comparison because previous studies on the spirituality of dental hygiene and students are insufficient. Therefore, various studies on spirituality and clinical practice stress for dental hygienists are needed, and strategic search will be needed.

This study examined the factors affecting the emergency nursing performance of nursing students during a simulation. The variables related to the simulation were the objective and subjective emergency nursing performance, critical thinking, program outcome, simulation satisfaction, simulation confidence, and simulation immersion. The participants were 92 senior students who provided informed consent with an explanation about attending the study. The general characteristics and simulation-related data were obtained from the students before and after the simulation. An assessor evaluated the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation and program outcome through a report reviewed after the simulation. Data analysis was performed using the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, X²-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and progressive regression through the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Emergency nursing performance by the assessor was negatively associated with the satisfaction of clinical practice (r=-.31, p=.005) and positively related to the subjective clinical performance (r=.23, p=.036). The affecting rate was just 12%, which was low for explaining the objective emergency nursing performance during the simulation. Further studies will be needed to explore other factors affecting the emergency nursing performance.

Background : This study aimed to estimate the clinical outcome and identify the characteristics of a group of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who completed anti-tuberculosis therapy with the First-line drugs in spite of having positive smear results with negative sputum culture results over the previous six months. Method : A retrospective chart review of 21 patients who fulfilled the above criteria between 1995 and 1999 was performed. The laboratory data as well as the clinical data of the patients with positive smear results and negative culture results over a six months period were reviewed. Results : The negative conversion of sputum culture results was achieved within $1.3{\pm}1.2$ months and the negative conversion of the sputum smear results was accomplished during $9.5{\pm}3.3$ months. Chest X-rays at 5 months following the institution of anti-tuberculosis therapy from all patients revealed improvements. Four out of 21 patients(19%) relapsed during the follow up, $15.2{\pm}13.4$ months after administering anti-tuberculosis therapy for $13.3{\pm}3.1$ months. Relapses were confirmed from between 3 months and 4 months after the treatment completion. Only one of the four relapses had no past history of anti-tuberculosis therapy and the others had prior treatment twice (p<0.01). The period of anti-tuberculosis treatment was extended to a mean of $4.6{\pm}2.6$ months in 12 patients. However, prolongation of anti-tuberculosis therapy had no affect on the relapse rate (odds ratio, 95% CI 0.18, 2.15). Conclusion : Prolongation of therapy with the First-line drugs is not necessary for patients with persistently positive smear results over 6 months and negative culture results. A patient who has had prior anti-tuberculosis therapy more than twice should be paid the closest attention.

임상도는 항공사진을 판독하여 얻어진 산림에 관한 정보를 지형도(1/25,000)에 도화 작성한 도면으로 전국 산림조사와 연계하여 10년을 주기로 순환제작 되며, 현재 제 4차 수치임상도가 제작 중에 있다 임상도는 여러 산림관련 주제도 중 가장 많이 활용되는 도면으로 산림 분야뿐만 아니라 다른 분야에서도 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 10년을 주기로 제작되므로 부분적으로 현실과 부합하지 않는 내용이 포함되어 있어 각종 계획수립 및 활용에 장애요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 실제 임상정보를 획득할 수 있도록 지속적인 갱신이 필요하다. 그러나 임상도의 부분적 갱신을 위하여 별도의 항공사진을 촬영하는 것은 현실적인 어려움이 있으며, 최근 고해상도 위성영상이 활용 가능하게 됨에 따라 임상도의 갱신에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고해상도 위성영상인 IKONOS를 이용하여 수치임상도를 갱신하는 방법을 제시하였다. 연구대상지는 제 4차 임상도의 수치화가 완료된 전라북도 완주 지역으로 1:25000 지형도의 도엽명 대아와 읍내의 일부지역이다. 영상자료는 2001년 8월 18일에 촬영된 IKONOS Multispectral 자료를 이용하였다. 영상의 기하보정을 위하여 RPC Model과 1:25000 수치지형도로부터 만들어진 DEM을 사용하였다. 기하보정된 영상을 이용하여 영상분할(Segmentation)을 실시하여 서로 중복되지 않는 동질한 지역으로 구분하였다. 이때 기존의 수치임상도를 Super-Object로 사용하여 영상을 분할할 때 형성될 수 있는 가장 큰 Segment로 제한하였으며 Super-Object의 경계를 벗어나지 않는 보다 작은 Sub-Object를 만들도록 하여 분할영상의 계층적 구조를 형성하였다. 어느 한 임상내에서 변화가 발생하면 변화가 발생한 지역은 변화가 발생하지 않은 지역과 서로 다른 분광특성을 나타내므로 별도의 Segment를 형성하게 된다. 따라서 임상도의 경계선으로부터 획득된 Super-Object의 분광반사 값과 그 안에서 형성된 Sub-Object의 분광반사값의 차이를 이용하여 임상도의 갱신을 위한 변화지역을 탐지하였다.

Background: Primary thymic epithelial neoplasm is a type of mediastinal tumors that have various biologic and morphologic features. In this study, we reclassified 59 cases of thymic epithelial tumors by the new WHO classification. We inquired whether the new WHO classification has independent prognostic relevance by analyzing clinical characteristics of thymic epithelial tumors including Masaoka's clinical stage. Material and Method: From December 1986 to August 2003, 59. patients who underwent surgery in the Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center with definite diagnosis of thymic epithelial tumor were studied. We analyzed the histologic subtype (WHO classification). clinical stage (Masaoka's clinical stage) and patient's characteristics (sex, age, myasthenia gravis, tumor size, invasion. recurrence, metastasis) as prognostic factors. We analyzed the relationship between histologic subtype and clinical stage. Result: 32 patients were male and 27 were female. Mean age was 50.1$\pm$14.2. From WHO A to C, all thymic epithelial tumors were reclassified by the new WHO classification. Six patients (10.2%) had Type A, 7 (11.9%) had Type AB, 7 (11.9%) had Type B$_1$, 10 (16.9%) had Type B$_2$ and 7 (11.9%) had Type B$_3$, 22 (37.3%) had Type C. Two factors were shown by multivariate analysis to be associated with a favorable prognosis: completeness of resection (p=0.003) and non-invasiveness (p=0.001). The overall 5-year survival of the 59 patients was 53%, subtype A and AB were 92.3%, B$_1$ and B$_2$ were 70.2%, and B$_3$ and C were 26.1%. The association between histologic subtype and invasive behavior (stage) was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The WHO classfication is not only a histologic classfication of the thymic epithelial tumors but also a significant prognostic factor that influence the survival of thymic epithelial tumors.

The clinical concept of coronary artery disease (CAD) has seen a paradigm shift over the last decade. CAD is mostly a progressive disease, and patients with CAD can develop acute coronary syndromes at any point in disease progression. In this clinical context, a new term, "chronic coronary syndrome," was published in the 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines, reflecting the importance of early diagnosis and active management. Recent advances have been made in the evaluation of CAD using coronary CT angiography (CCTA). The clinical usefulness of CCTA in patients with stable angina or chronic coronary syndrome begins with the detection of early asymptomatic CAD. The characterization of atherosclerotic plaque and its role in determining treatment strategies for CAD have been demonstrated for all stages of the disease. This review describes the pathophysiology of stable angina to aid in the understanding of the clinical applications of CCTA.

The objective of this study is to observe the efficiency of clinical performance on the supply and demand of medical resources in Korea. For the empirical analysis, we constructed the dataset on age standardized mortality rate, the number of physician, specialist, surgery, medical institution, ratio of general hospitals of 16 provinces in Korea from 2006 to 2013. The panel probability frontier model is employed as an analysis method and considered heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation of the error in panel data. In addition, the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the 16 provinces, unemployment rate, elderly population ratio, GRDP per capita, and ratio of hospitals in comparison to the general hospitals are used to find the effect on the technical efficiency of clinical performance on supply and demand of medical resources. The results are as follows. First, for the clinical performance, the supply side of human resources such as doctors and specialists and the demand side factors such as chronic illness clinic per unit population have a significant influence, respectively. Second, the technical efficiency of clinical performance on the supply and demand of medical resources of each input component was 59-70% in terms of clinical efficiency in each region. Third. estimates of technical efficiency of inputs that affect clinical performance showed a slight increase in all regions during the analysis period, but the increase trend decreased slightly. Fourth, the ratio of the elderly population and GRDP per capita have a positive influence on the technical efficiency of clinical performance on the supply and demand of medical resources. The difference of each efficiency by region is due to the regional differences of the input medical resources and the combination of them and the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the region. It is understood that the differences in technological efficiency due to the complexity of supply and demand of medical resources, demographic structure and economic difference affecting clinical performance by region are different.
