Purpose : Although hepatitis B vaccine has been available to general population in Korea since 1983, it was difficult to compare various types of hepatitis B virus(HBV) vaccines primarily due to the differences in vaccination schedule, dosage, test methods and seropositive antibody level. In this study we reviewed the results of previous studies published in Korea, which include antibody positive rates and antibody titers of various vaccines, and examined the immunogenicity of these HBV vaccines. Methods : Studies published in medical journals, university journals concerning antibody positive rates following hepatitis B vaccination were reviewed. Inclusion criteria were those studies in which seroprotective antibody rate of 10mIU/mL or the sample ratio unit of 10 RU were used as the cut-off value and in which the test methods were RIA or ELISA. Exclusion criteria were; 1) unclear or inconsistent vaccine dosage, 2) no record of antibody titers or seroconversion rate, 3) no defined antibody rate or ratio for positive rating and 4) the vaccination schedule other than 0-1-2 months or 0-1-6 months. Results : 23 out of 52 studies were subjected for the review for seroconversion rates. 1) As for the immunogenicity in each age group, the seroconversion rates of Hepaccine(Cheil Jedang) were 85.1% in infants, 83.3% in children and 62.7% in adults, indicating higher rates in infants and children compared to adults(P<0.01). The seroconversion rates of Hepavax(Korea Green Cross) were 84.7%, 81.1% and 90.8%, indicating higher rates in infants and adults compared to children(P<0.01). 2) The seroconversion rate of Hepavax was 85.6% with 0-1-6 mo. schedule, 78.5% with 0-1-2 mo. schedule with a statistically significant difference(P<0.01). 4) There was no difference of seroconversion rates between the two doses of Hepavax, $5{\mu}g$ and $10{\mu}g$ in infants and children. 5) In adults the seroconversion rates were 62.7% with Hepaccine, 90.8% with Hepavax, and 94.8% with Engerix-B(SmithKline Beecham). Conclusion : In Korea, the incidence of chronic hepatitis B is high and changing the schedule in vaccination cannot contribute to the increase of the serocoversion rate. And in order to maximize immunogenicity, more effective vaccines as well as more proper vaccination methods should be used.

This study was conducted to identify the possibility of paddy weeds served as the host plant of bacterial leaf blight, using various bacterial groups and inoculation methods. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. 1. Alopecurns spp., Setaria viridis P. Beauv., and Leersia juponica Makino were identified the most susceptible to bacterial leaf blight, similar to Milyang 23 which was used as a susceptible check variety. The others such as Digitaria adscendens Hem., Eleusine indic aGaertin., Cyperns serotinus Rottb, Cyperns difformis L. showed slight infection but most of broadleaf weeds were resistant to bacterial leaf blight. 2. Weed species showing early susceptibility maintained their susceptibility throughout the growth stages. Group I of bacterial leaf blight was the most effective to develop infection symptom to weeds. 3. Pin and scissor inoculation methods were more effective mean for infection than spray method which was used without wound.

This study was conducted to establish a simple mass-screening method for resistant melon to Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (FOM). Root-dipping inoculation method has been used to investigate resistance of melon plants to Fusarium wilt. However, the inoculation method requires a lot of labor and time because of complicate procedure. To develop a simple screening method on melon Fusarium wilt, occurrence of Fusarium wilt on susceptible and resistant cultivars of melon according to inoculation method including root-dipping, soil-drenching, tip, and scalpel methods was investigated. Scalpel and tip methods showed more clear resistant and susceptible responses in the melon cultivars than root-dipping inoculation method, but tip method represented slightly variable disease severity. In contrast, in the case of soil-drenching inoculation method, disease severity of the susceptible cultivars was very low. Thus we selected scalpel method as inoculation method of a simple screening method for melon Fusarium wilt. By using the scalpel inoculation method, resistance degrees of the cultivars according to incubation temperature after inoculation (25 and $30^{\circ}C$) and inoculum concentration ($1{\times}10^6$ and $1{\times}10^7conidia/ml$) were measured. The resistance or susceptibility of the cultivars was hardly affected by all the tested conditions. To look into the effectiveness of scalpel inoculation methods, resistance of 22 commercial melon cultivars to FOM was compare with root-dipping inoculation method. When the melon cultivars were inoculated by scalpel method, resistance responses of all the tested cultivars were clearly distinguished as by root-dipping method. Taken together, we suggest that an efficient simple mass-screening method for resistant melon plant to Fusarium wilt is to sow the seeds of melon in a pot (70 ml of soil) and to grow the seedlings in a greenhouse ($25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) for 7 days, to cut the root of seedlings with a scalpel and then pour a 10 ml-aliquot of the spore suspension of $1{\times}10^6conidia/ml$ on soil. The infected plants were cultivated in a growth room at 25 to $30^{\circ}C$ for about 3 weeks with 12-hr light a day.

Objectives: Immunization program is essential public health service under the national responsibility. One of the immunization service of national immunization program is advertising and public relation service, but research for that was rarely conducted. Therefore we conducted the survey for developing advertising strategy of immunization program in 21th century. Methods: Our study subjects were 242 health workers in immunization service department of 169 health centers and 1,193 carers who visited community health center for receiving immunization service of their children. The major questions were general characteristics of the subjects, perceived importance of immunization program, experience of advertising, knowledge and perception about immunization, and items about advertising strategy. Results: Frequently exposed materials in both health workers and carers were TV, community newspapers, and pamphlets. Health workers had high professional knowledges of immunization and carers had high perceptions for need and importance of immunization. Health workers preferred pamphlets and posters as advertising materials and carerers preferred TV and community newspapers. Both health workers and carers preferred green and yellow as advertising posters' color, active and healthy style of immunization advertising, and positive messages of campaign's slogans. Conclusions: Further researches should be conducted for precising long-term immunization advertising strategy in 21th century, and for this we need to develop advertising materials based on public needs and strategy, and evaluate the materials. The national immunization program should be activated throughout more investment of the budgets and human powers.

현재 우리나라는 보건소 중심의 예방접종등록사업을 진행 중에 있다. 2004년부터 시작된 이 사업은 현재는 전국민을 대상으로 실시하고 있다. 예방접종등록사업은 피접종자들은 대체적으로 예방접종에 대한 적절한 시기를 판단할 수 있는 정보가 부족하기 때문에 예방접종과 관련된 정보들을 국가나 사회에서 적시에 피접종자들에게 제공해 줄 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 확인이 등록에 앞서 그 정확성을 확인 필요가 있다. 예방접종등록사업의 가장 기본적인 사업으로 진행된 것은 예방접종 수첩의 제공과 그 관리를 통한 예방접종 사업으로 지속적으로 전개되어 왔으며, 일반 국민과 개원의사들에서도 대중적으로 보급되어 있다. 국가 예방접종률의 산출 그리고 취학 어린이 예방접종력 증명서 제출 제도를 위하여 예방접종 수첩을 활용하는 방법이 현실적으로 유용할 수 있다. 따라서 예방접종 수첩의 예방접종력 정확성을 확인할 필요가 있다. 지역조사에서 접종기관으로 확인된 민간 의료기관 365곳 가운데 의료기관 이전 및 폐업으로 반송된 경우가 4건(1.1%)이었으며, 응답한 경우는 129곳으로 응답률은 35.3%였다. 조사된 의료기관 전체를 대상으로 확인된 1,201건에 대한 BCG 접종여부의 정확도는 69.5%였다. B형 간염의 정확도는 1차가 41.3%로 낮았으며, 2차와 3차는 각각 76.6%, 79.7%였다. DTaP의 정확도는 약 80%였으며, 정확도가 제일 높은 것은 DTaP 3차로 82.5%였으나 다른 것과 가장 낮은 정확도와 2% 정도 밖에 차이가 나지 않았다. 폴리오의 정확도는 약 80%였다. MMR의 정확도는 83.2%였다. 일본뇌염의 경우 약 80.0%였으며, 수두의 정확도는 74.9%로 다른 질병과 비교하여 낮은 수치를 보였다. 조사된 의료기관을 전체로 한 기타예방접종별 예방접종수첩의 접종여부의 정확도는 인플루엔자는 정확도는 74.1%였으며, 뇌수막염은 72.7%의 정확도를 보였다. A형 간염 1차의 정확도79.5%였으며, 폐렴구균 1차의 경우 73.2%로 나타났다. 국가필수예방접종별 예방접종수첩의 접종일자에 대한 정확도는 BCG 80.1%로 확인되었고, B형 간염 1차 89.7% 2차는 82.1% 3차는 79%로 B형 간염 중 가장 낮은 정확도를 보였다. DTaP는 1차와 2차는 약 87% 3차는 85.1% 4차는 83.5%로 확인이 되었다. 폴리오는 1차가88.1%로 가장 높은 정확도를 보였고 그 다음으로 2차가 86.2%, 3차가 84.8%로 확인되었다. MMR의 정확도는 84%였으며, 일본뇌염 1차의 정확도는 83.1%로 나타났다. 수두의 접종일자 정확도는 83.7% 이고, 인플루엔자의 정확도는 55.3%로 상대적으로 낮은 수치를 보였다. 기타예방접종별 접종일자 정확도의 조사 결과 뇌수막염 1차과 폐렴구균 1차는 약 90%로 상대적으로 높은 정확도를 보였고, A형 간염 1차는 88.4%의 정확도를 보였다.

Purpose : The number of newborns vaccinated with BCG of Tokyo 172 strain, which has been claimed to cause lesser degree of local adverse events including scar, has recently been increasing. However, tuberculin response to this vaccine has inadequately been studied, especially with newborns cared at primary care clinics. We, therefore, performed a study in newborns vaccinated with BCG at private pediatric offices and evaluated the response to PPD 2TU or PPD 5TU following vaccination with percutaneous or intradermal BCG. Methods : Two hundred infants who had been cared at three private pediatric offices were retrospectively enrolled in the study. One hundred fifty one infants had received percutaneous BCG(Tokyo strain); 129 infants had had tuberuclin test with PPD 2TU and the rest of 22 infants with PPD 5TU. Forty nine infants had received intradermal BCG(28 infants Copenhagen strain, I infant French strain, 20 infants unknown); 35 infants had had tuberculin test with PPD 2TU, 14 infants(11%) with PPD 5TU. Results : In infants vaccinated with percutaneous BCG, the mean induration diameter in tuberculin test was significantly greater with PPD 5TU($12.4{\pm}3.5mm$) compared to PPD 2TU ($9.2{\pm}4.4mm$). In infants vaccinated with intradermal BCG, the mean induration diameters in tuberculin test were $5.7{\pm}5.1mm$ to PPD 2TU and $6.6{\pm}4.8mm$ to PPD 5TU, which were not significantly different. The tuberculin response to PPD 2TU was significantly greater in infants vaccinated with percutaneous BCG compared to those with intradermal BCG. The tuberculin response to PPD 5TU was also significantly greater in infants vaccinated with percutaneous BCG compared to those with intradermal BCG. Conclusion : Percutaneous BCG(Tokyo strain) seems to cause greater response to tuberculin compared to intradermal BCG and PPD 2TU induces weaker response compared to PPD 5TU. Acknowledging some discrepancies from the previously reported data, which might have been due to the different source of the study subjects, more studies are needed to establish the range of tuberculin response following BCG vaccination in order to differentiate from tuberculosis.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to assess the factors influencing the HPV vaccination of females in their twenties. Methods: The survey was conducted during 2013.11.11-28 with a convenience sample of 488 participants. Results: The mean score of their knowledge about cervical cancer shows 2.54 out of 7. 96.7% and 31.5% of respondents have heard about cervical cancer and HPV, respectively. Only 2.7% are vaccinated by the recommendations from the medical teams. The higher the knowledge scores, the more the subjects are vaccinated. The factors influencing HPV vaccination appear to be prior knowledge about the HPV. Conclusion: The knowledge level is low compared to previous studies. Despite this, the trend of vaccination rate is higher. Medical teams need to promote vaccination. Accordingly, education and promotion are needed for the unvaccinated.
