Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a chronic infectious agent known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is transmitted in airborne particles, called droplet nuclei which was generated by cough, sneeze, shout, or sing of persons who have TB disease. Most infections of TB do not have symptoms, well known as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). However, about 10% of LTBI progress to active disease a one or two years after infection. To investigate the LTBI rate of college students who were in contacted with TB patients, we performed chest X-ray, tuberculin skin test (TST) and Interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to 74 college students. At a results, 65 students were showed negative and 9 students positive results at chest X-ray and 1st TST test. When confirmed the 65 students who were showed negative by 2st TST, the results showed correctly. But, 9 students who were showed positive results on chest X-ray and 1st TST by IGRA, the only 3 students (4.05%) showed positive results. In conclusion, the LTBI rate in this study showed 4.05% (3/74) and we suggest to investigate other students LTBI rate for decreasing tuberculosis.

In the event of a fatal infectious disease in the country, it is very important that the government respond quickly and prevent the secondary infection of the people to prevent the subsequent spread of damage. However, in order to detect infectious diseases in existing medical institutions, and to reach the KCDCP(Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) a total of four steps must be taken. In this paper, we simplifies the existing reporting process using the open blockchain. In addition, not only infectious disease related organizations share infectious disease information on the blockchain, but also grant access to the blockchain to ordinary citizens. By sharing information quickly and transparently revealing the process, we can add credibility to the response to the outbreak and official announcements. The public can also build efficient next-generation defense systems by checking information on the blockchain to prevent secondary infections.

최근 항체미형성기의 오염혈액을 2003년 8월 수혈받은 2명이 에이즈의 원인병원체인 HIV(인면역결핍바이러스)에 감염된 사실이 언론에 발표되었다. 다행스럽게도 수혈감염자로부터 2차 감염은 이루어지지 않았으나 얼마 전 HIV 항체미형성기의 혈장을 원료로 한 알부민제제 시판 논란과 더불어 일반 국민들은 국가혈액공급의 안전에 큰 불안을 갖게 되었다.

The gills of seven black rockfish, Sebastes melanops collected from Hatfield Marine Science Center Aquarium during September 19-October 3,2001 were examined for parasites attached to the gills. The species of Sebastes melanops were Microcotyle sebastis baled on the number of clamps and testes. The prevalence of 42.9％ was recorded for host and fourteen worms of three black rockfish were recovered. Mean intensity of infection of Microcotyle sebastis individuals per infected host for black rockfish was 2.0(range 1-11). Monogenea helminth sites were mainly consist of second and third gill arch's filaments of black rockfish. The results revealed that surface area of the 2nd and 3rd pair of gills might affect the distribution of Microcotyle sebastis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate secondary infections within the households of newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients. Methods: We collected data on household infections of tuberculosis patients by retrospective review of medical records and telephone surveys. Results: Out of 321 newly diagnosed tuberculosis cases, a total of 253 patients who received telephone surveys were enrolled in this study. Less than 50% of the patients had household contacts screened for tuberculosis infection, and most of the patients were not aware of the necessity of testing. Out of 562 household contacts, there were 8 cases of secondary tuberculosis (1.4%, 8/562) in 7 households. There were 15 cases of latent infection (2.7%, 15/562) in 13 households. Out of 110 child and adolescent household contacts, there were no cases of secondary tuberculosis, and there were 8 cases of latent infection (7.3%) in 7 households, which was 20.5% among child and adolescent contacts screened for tuberculosis infection. In 3 of the cases (13.0%) that had secondary tuberculosis or latent infection in their households, the source of infection was extrapulmonary tuberculosis. There was no correlation between the frequency of household infections and the presence of pulmonary cavities, sputum AFB smear results, and microbiologically confirmed results. Conclusions: For effective investigation of tuberculosis contacts, it is necessary to raise general awareness on the necessity of investigating household contacts, and there should also be a continued assessment on tuberculosis contact investigation since government-supported programs.

본 논문에서는 GIS를 이용하여 국내 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(HPAI) 발생 농가를 대상으로 HPAI 감염 및 확산에 영향을 미치는 여러 인자와의 연관성을 분석한다. 인자는 크게 철새에 기인한 1차 감염과 사람에 기인한 2차 감염으로 나눈다. 전자는 철새 이동경로, 철새 도래지, 후자는 고속도로, HPAI 발생 농가 간 거리를 분석한다. 분석 시 거리는 500m(관리지역), 3km(보호지역), 10km(예찰지역)으로 설정하고, ArcGIS 프로그램을 사용하였다.

고추 시설재배지에 녹비작물 재배가 토양의 Arbuscular 균근균(AMF) 포자밀도 및 감염율에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 보리와 호밀, 헤어리베치, 완두콩을 파종하여 1차 녹비작물 재배 후 토양에 환원하고 고추를 재배한 다음, 2차 녹비작물 재배하여 시설 토양내 Arbuscular 균근균(AMF) 포자밀도 및 감염율을 조사한 결과 AMF포자밀도는 녹비작물 재배지가 대조구보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 기주작물별 AMF활성포자의 밀도는 보리와 완두콩이 호밀, 헤어리베치 그리고 쇠별꽃에 비하여 높았다. 녹비작물의 기주작물별 AMF포자의 형태와 크기는 유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 녹비작물의 기주 작물별로 뿌리 내 AMF 감염율을 조사한 결과 보리녹비작물에서 감염율이 높았으며 녹비작물의 감염구조는 뿌리내부 균사임이 확인되었고 AMF 균사의 Network도 매우 발달되었다.
