Purpose: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and technical problems of the endoscopic balloon dilatation of esophageal anomalies in children. Methods: The medical records of 8 children treated by endoscopic balloon dilatation for esophageal anomalies over a 10-year period at Pusan National University Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. The balloon catheter (Maxforce TTS or CRE, Boston Scientific Co., USA) was positioned across the area of narrowing by direct visualization. The balloon was slowly inflated with normal saline to specified pressures for each balloon and maintained for 60 seconds and then deflated. After 60 seconds pause, the procedure was repeated with a larger sized balloon (increments of 1 mm for each subsequent dilation) till effective dilatation was confirmed by direct visualization without complications. Results: Three male and five female were included and their mean age was 4.2 years. A total of 27 (average of 3.2 per patient) dilatation were performed. Underlying diseases of patients are postoperative stricture of esophageal atresia in 3 cases, esophageal ring in 2 cases, achalasia, corrosive esophagitis and hypertensive LES in one case respectively. The size of initial dilating balloon was chosen on the basis of the diameter of the narrowing determined by endoscopy. The first dilation in patients with severe esophageal stricture was made with a 6 mm sized balloon. Complications observed were esophageal perforation and respiratory holding during the procedure in one case respectively. Successful outcome was seen in 6 patients (75%). Conclusion: Endoscopic balloon dilatation can provide a safe and effective mean of treating esophageal anomalies in children and should be considered the treatment of choice in the initial management of those cases.

Chronic acquired hepatocerebral degeneration(CAHD) is a heterogenous that can occur with a primary neurologic, hepatic, or combined presentation. Symptoms and signs of that included progressive dementia, dysarthria, involuntary movements(including tremor, asterixis, and choreoathetosis), ataxia of limb and gait, typically in a patient with chronic liver cirrhosis. Characteristic radiologic findings is high signal on globus pallidus on T1W1 MRI. Recently, we experienced a patients, a 73-year-old female with CAHD presenting mental change, cognitive deficits, and various involuntary movement. In our patient, T1 weighted MRI of the brain showed symmetric high signal intensity in both basal ganglia. Increased ammonia $level(226{\mu}g/dl)$ in whole blood and a multiple anomalous vessels with spleno-renal shunt on abdominal CT were found. But, liver cirrhosis is absent. In admission care, these mental change and involuntary movements had a good response to herbal medication. We report on patient with CAHD which had a spontaneous spleno-renal shunt without liver disease.

The purpose of this article is to study on the Daesoon Cosmology of the Correlative Relation between Mugeuk and Taegeuk. Daesoon cosmology is a cosmology based on the juxtaposition between the Gucheon Sangje and the world. In this article, I would like to say that this theory in Daesoon Thought was developed in three stages: the phase of the Mugeuk Transcendence of Gucheon Sangje, the stage of the Taegeuk Immanence, and the phase of the Grand Opening of the Later World between Mugeuk and Taegeuk as a correlative gentle reign. First of all, the phase of the Mugeuk Transcendence of Gucheon Sangje has been revealed as a yin-yang relationship. The stage of the Taegeuk Immanence represents the togetherness of harmony and co-prosperity between yin and yang, and the phase of the Grand Opening of the Later World between Mukeuk and Taegeuk refers to the unshakable accomplishment of its character and energy. It will be said that this is due to the practical mechanism in the correct balance of yin-yang making a four stage cycle of birth, growth, harvest, and storage. In addition, the Daesoon stage of the settlement of yin and yang is revealed as a change in the growth of all things and the formation of the inner circle. The mental growth reveals the characteristics of everything in the world, each trying to shine at the height of their own respective life as they grow up energetically. The dominant culture of cerebral communion renders a soft and elegant mood and combines yin and yang to elevate the heavenly and earthly period through transcendental change into sympathetic understanding. The stage of the Grand Opening of the Later World between Mugeuk and Taegeuk is one of the earliest days of the lunar month and also the inner circle of Taegeuk. It is in line with Ken Wilbur's integrated model as a step to the true degrees to develop into a world with brightened degrees. It is a beautiful and peaceful scene where celestial maidens play music, the firewood burns, and the scholars command thunder and lightning playfully. Human beings achieve a state of happiness as a free beings who lives as gods upon the earth. This is the world of theGrand Opening of the Later World between Mugeuk and Taegeuk. Daesoon Thought was succeeded by Dojeon in 1958, when Dojeon emerged as the successor in the lineage of religious orthodoxy and was assigned the task of handling Dao in its entirety. In addition, Daesoon is a circle and represents freedom and commonly shared happiness among the populous. Cosmology in the Daesoon Thought will enable us to understand deep dimensions and the identity of members as individuals within an inner circle of correlation between transcendence and immanence. This present study tries to analyze the public effects philologically and also the mutual correlation by utilizing the truthfulness of literature and rational interpretation. The outlook for the future in Daesoon Thought also leads to the one-way communication of Daesoon as a circle.

컴퓨터 게임속의 새롭고 독특한 주인공을 만들어 내는 게임 제작을 위해 캐릭터의 '유전자 설계'를 해야 한다. 이렇게 탄생하는 캐릭터들은 性을 비롯해, 모양, 크기, 색깔 등 모든 특성을 포함하는 게놈(Genome)을 갖고 있는 것이다. 게임 캐릭터의 유전자 설계를 통해 불가능한 것은 없다. 돌연변이, 수명의 결정, 후천적인 캐릭터 계승, 그리고 학습된 행동까지 지정할 수 있는 것이다. 컴퓨터 게임에서는 좋아하는 어떤 것이다 디자인 할 수 있다.

AIDS, 즉 후천성면역결핍증은 인간면역결핍바이러스(Human Immunodeficiency Virus : HIV)라고 불리우는 바이러스에 의한 인간면역체계의 붕괴로 발생하는 질환이다. 1979년 최초로 새로운 임상적특징을 가진 증후군으로 의학학술지에 발표되어 의료계의 주목을 끌어오다가 1981년 봄 로스앤절레스에 있는 남성동성연애자에게 발생한 AIDS의 첫 예가 보고되어 본격적 연구가 시작되었다.

치매라는 말은 Dement라는 라틴어에서 유래된 것으로써 '정상적인 마음과는 거리가 멀어진것', '정신이 없어진 것'이라는 의미를 지니고 있다. 치매는 나이가 들어감에 따라 정상적으로 발달한 뇌가 후천적인 외상이나 질병 등 외부적인 요인에 의해 손상되거나 파괴되어 언어ㆍ학습ㆍ지능 등에 대한 전반적인 인지기능과 고등정신기능이 비정상적으로 감퇴되는 복합적인 임상증후군을 포괄적으로 이르는 것을 말한다.

유엔에이즈계획(UNAIDS)은 아프리카의 에이즈(후천성면역결핍증) 창궐에 즉각 대처하지 않을 경우 2025년까지 8천만 명 이상이 숨질 것이라고 최근 전망했다. UNAIDS는 지난 3월 2025년 아프리카의 에이즈 3대 시나리오 보고서를 발표했다. 이 보고서에 따르면 지금 어떤 정책과 조치를 시행하는가에 따라서 2025년 아프리카는 3개의 다른 미래를 맞을 수 있으며 4천3백만 명의 목숨이 좌지우지 될 것이라고 밝혔다. 또한 2천억 달러에 가까운 필요할 것으로 예측하였다.

인터넷 커뮤니티나 개인적 친분을 이용하여 타인의 HIV감염 사실을 공개적으로 밝혀 문제가 되고 있다. 아웃팅(감염사실을 공개적으로 밝히는 일)당한 감염인들은 감염사실이 주위에 알려지면서 친구를 잃고, 직장을 잃는 등 심각한 피해를 겪고 있다. 후천성 면역결핍증예방법에서 간과하고 있는 직무와 무관한 사람에 의한 감염사실 공개에 대하여 엄숙한 법적 제재가 가해져야 할 것이다.

20세기의 흑사병 에이즈(AIDS : 후천성 면역결핍증)가 인류의 생존을 위협하고 있다. 1981년도 미국에서 첫 모습을 들어낸 에이즈는 해마다 감염자가 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 이대로 가다가는 서기 2000년경엔 전세계 감염자가 1억명을 넘어설 전망이다. 에이즈의 모든 것을 벗겨 보았다.
