Analyses of lead and zinc were made by means of standard addition method using atomic absorption spectrophotometer(Baird Ltd., Model A5100) with flameless method for lead and flame method for zinc. The blood samples used were merely diluted with triton x-100, because it was simple, rapid and minimal risk of contamination. Mean recovery rate for lead added to the blood ranged from 97.7 to 101.3% with coefficient of variation ranging from 1.9 to 10.7%, and that for the added zinc ranged from 99.0 to 102.2% with coefficient of variation ranging from 2.1 to 9.1%. In repeated measurements of zinc in the blood, good reproducibility and interindividual variation were proved(p<0.01). In comparison of the lead and zinc concentrations in the blood determined by the standard addition method and standard method, there were good correlations between 2 sets of data (r=0.9731 for lead and r=0.9785 for zinc), although lead levels were estimated higher by the former method(p<0.01) and zinc levels by the latter method(p<0.01). It can be concluded that lead and zinc levels in blood standard addition method is reliable for determination of lead and zinc in the blood with good accuracy and reproducibility.

Artificial intelligence application in digital health care has been increasing with its development of artificial intelligence. The convergence of the healthcare industry and information and communication technology makes the diagnosis of diseases more simple and comprehensible. From the perspective of medical services, its practice as an initial test and a reference indicator may become widely applicable. Therefore, analyzing the factors that are the basis for existing diagnosis protocols also helps suggest directions using artificial intelligence beyond previous regression and statistical analyses. This paper conducts essential diagnostic prediction learning based on the analysis of blood cancer factors reported previously. Blood cancer diagnosis predictions based on artificial intelligence contribute to successfully achieve more than 90% accuracy and validation of blood cancer factors as an alternative auxiliary approach.

Purpose: This study is to evaluate the effect of abdominal breathing on postoperative pain, state anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate of cardiac surgery patients treated in intensive care unit. Methods: A non-synchronized design of nonequivalent control group pre-post test was used. Participants were divided into an experimental group(n=22) and a control group(n=21). Just usual postoperative treatments were provided to the control group, while abdominal breathing interventions were provided to the experimental group, in addition to usual treatments. The intervention was consisted of 4 stages-introductions, breathing perception, breathing training, and closing-and it lasted twelve minutes in total. Pain, state anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate were the dependent variables of the abdominal breathing. Results: Those who carried out abdominal breathing showed a significant reduction in pain, as well as decrease of systolic blood pressure. However, it turned out to have no effect on state anxiety, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Conclusion: Abdominal breathing is simple and harmless and is effective for reducing postoperative pain.

To improve animal production, a simple and accurate pregnancy diagnosis plays a very important role. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an on-farm blood progesterone enzyme immunoassay (EIA) system for monitoring the early pregnancy in sows. Star tubes coated with mouse monoclonal anti-progesterone antibody were used for this proposed EIA system which was tested in field trials. The results could be obtained within 30 minutes either by spectrophotometry or the naked eye. Heparinized fresh blood samples collected from the ear vein of sows 17-22 days after breeding (day 0) were tested qualitatively to diagnose sows as pregnant or non-pregnant with high ( > 3 ng/ml) or low ($${{\leq_-}}3ng/ml$$) progesterone in the blood. To provided a double check data, plasma progesterone levels were also measured quantitatively by the same EIA system with some modification. Total agreement of diagnosis by the on-farm EIA kit and by farrowing or abortion from 128 tested sows was found to be 92.2% accuracy (93.1% on pregnant diagnosis and 83.3% on non-pregnant diagnosis). It was concluded that the on-farm EIA blood progesterone test is a very useful method for monitoring the early pregnancy status of sows.

To determine the distribution of feline blood types and then to estimate the risk of neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI) in non-pedigree cats, we typed blood of 482 cats of both genders and various breeds (336 domestic shorthair cat and 146 pedigree) from August 2005 through July 2007. Blood samples from Seoul and Kangwon province were typed within 5 days after collection by the simple tube method. High-titer anti-A antiserum and anti-B reagent, prepared with Triticum vulgaris lectin, were used to determine type A and type B blood, respectively. The majority of cats were type A (n = 465, 96.5%) and only 3.5% (n = 17) were type B. No type AB blood were detected. Blood type distributions among the non-pedigree and pedigree cats were similar: for non-pedigree cats, 96.4% were type A and 3.6% were type B, whereas for pedigree cats, 96.6% were type A and 3.4% were type B. All type B cats had a very strong agglutination reaction to anti-A antiserum: 8 sample for 3+ and 9 for 4+. Assuming 19% of estimated frequency for the type-B allele in domestic cats, the calculated proportion of random mating from this population at risk for developing NI was 3.4%. Based on this finding, it is strongly recommended that blood typing be performed prior to any blood transfusion or breeding to minimize blood type incompatibilities. Further comprehensive studies on the titer of naturally occurring antibodies in cat populations in Korea and the prevalence of possible NI in practice are clearly required.

Purpose: This study is intended to analyze factors of metabolic syndrome and vitamin D deficiency with resources obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) V conducted in 2010. Methods: The subjects were 870 adolescents aged from 10 to 18 who participated in the first KNHANES V. Secondary data analysis was done by Chi-square, ANOVA, correlation analysis and simple linear regression. Results: The influencing factors of metabolic syndrome were vitamin D, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, which were statistically significant. Simple linear regression was conducted to identify the influence of vitamin D on the factors related to metabolic syndrome, which showed that waist size (t=-1.97, p<.05), systolic blood pressure (t=-2.88, p<.01), and diastolic blood pressure (t=-5.72, p<.001) were influenced by vitamin D. In addition, each factor decreased by .131, .209, and .355, respectively, when vitamin D increased by one unit. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is a factor to be considered in order to improve adolescent health and form adolescent health behaviors. Schools, families, and local communities should cooperate with each other on the foundation of a regular health screening process and systematic health education programs. In addition, it is expected enhanced physical activities and sports club participation can prevent metabolic syndrome and increase vitamin D among adolescent.

Determining blood loss [100% - RBV (%)] is challenging in the management of haemorrhagic shock. We derived an equation estimating RBV (%) via serial haematocrits (Hct₁, Hct₂) by fixing infused crystalloid fluid volume (N) as [0.015 × body weight (g)]. Then, we validated it in vivo. Mathematically, the following estimation equation was derived: RBV (%) = 24k / [(Hct₁ / Hct₂) -1]. For validation, non-ongoing haemorrhagic shock was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by withdrawing 20.0%-60.0% of their total blood volume (TBV) in 5.0% intervals (n = 9). Hct₁ was checked after 10 min and normal saline N cc was infused over 10 min. Hct₂ was checked five minutes later. We applied a linear equation to explain RBV (%) with 1 / [(Hct₁ / Hct₂) -1]. Seven rats losing 30.0%-60.0% of their TBV suffered shock persistently. For them, RBV (%) was updated as 5.67 / [(Hct₁ / Hct₂) -1] + 32.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] of the slope: 3.14-8.21, p = 0.002, R² = 0.87). On a Bland-Altman plot, the difference between the estimated and actual RBV was 0.00 ± 4.03%; the 95% CIs of the limits of agreements were included within the pre-determined criterion of validation (< 20%). For rats suffering from persistent, non-ongoing haemorrhagic shock, we derived and validated a simple equation estimating RBV (%). This enables the calculation of blood loss via information on serial haematocrits under a fixed N. Clinical validation is required before utilisation for emergency care of haemorrhagic shock.

Methods: It was studied on the 47 kinds of oriental medical literature for fecal blood. Results: Fecal blood means bleeding with faces from anus and indicates all the three cases such as blooding before and after evacuation, evacuation of feces mixed with blood, and simple melena. The main causes are fire(火) and deficiency of spleen qi (脾氣虛). According to the color of fecal blood and the region of the bleeding, first, if the blood color is dark-red and blood discharges after emptying the bowels, it is called deposited poison into Jang(臟毒) or distant bleeding(遠血), and if the color of blood is clear and bowel emptying occurs after bleeding, it is bloody stool due to intestinal wind(腸風) or nearby bleeding(近血). For treating methods(治法). removing heat from the blood and stopping bleeding(淸熱凉血止血), removing dampness and stopping bleeding(淸熱除濕止血), invigorating Ki for promoting Hul-controJ(益氣攝血), warming the spleen and stomach to dispel cold and stopping bleeding(溫中散寒止血) etc are applied.

만화는 그림에 글이 결합하여 캐릭터가 이야기를 이끌어가는 매체이다. 단순하고 과장된 상상의 캐릭터임에도 불구하고 독자는 캐릭터에 감정이입하게 되며, 얼굴과 복장의 외형적인 모습, 표정, 행동, 대사 등을 통해 캐릭터의 성격을 이해하게 된다. 캐릭터의 성격은 만화작가나 스토리작가에 의해 설정된다. 설정된 성격은 기본적으로 만화 전반에 걸쳐 붕괴하지 않고 유지되어야 한다. 캐릭터에 성격을 설정하기 위해서는 사람의 성격에 대한 이해가 중요하다. 이를 위한 하나의 방법이 사람의 성격을 분석하는 틀을 참고하는 것이다. 혈액형별 성격유형은 혈액형에 따른 성격유형이 있다고 보며, A형, B형, AB형, O형의 네 가지 혈액형으로 사람의 성격을 분석한다. 혈액형별 성격유형은 복잡하지 않고 단순하다는 점에서 접근의 편리함이 있다. 혈액형에 따른 성격을 참고한다면, 캐릭터에 성격을 설정하는 과정이 쉬워질 것이다. 만화 <나루토>의 작가인 마사시 키시모토는 캐릭터에 혈액형을 설정하고 있다. 본 연구는 <나루토>에 등장하는 주인공 캐릭터와 주변 캐릭터의 혈액형에 따른 성격과 캐릭터 간의 혈액형에 따른 관계를 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구방법으로 첫 번째, '혈액형과 성격의 관계'에서 혈액형과 성격이 어떤 관계가 있는지를 분석하였다. 두 번째, '만화 <나루토> 속 캐릭터의 혈액형별 성격'에서 캐릭터의 혈액형과 성격을 분석하였다. 세 번째, '만화 <나루토> 속 캐릭터의 혈액형에 따른 성격과 관계'에서는 혈액형에 따른 상성의 관계인 '돌보기관계'를 활용하여 혈액형에 따른 성격과 관계를 분석하였다. 분석한 관계는 '1) 나루토가 속한 팀의 팀장과 팀원관계', '2) 나루토의 삼각관계와 가족관계', '3) 나루토의 사제관계와 팀장관계', '4) <나루토>의 주요 라이벌관계', '5) 나루토와 사스케의 적대적 관계에서 협력자관계'를 분석하였다. 작가가 설정한 캐릭터의 성격과 캐릭터간의 혈액형에 따른 관계를 보면, 혈액형별 성격유형을 참고하였음을 유추할 수 있다. 이처럼 혈액형별 성격유형을 기반으로 하여 캐릭터의 성격을 설정하고 캐릭터 간의 관계를 만드는 것도 이야기 창작을 위한 하나의 유용한 방법이 될 수 있다.
