  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supportive nursing care on the level of knowledge and compliance with sick-role behavior in patients with coronary artery disease after coronary angiography (CAG). Methods: A quasi-experimental research was performed with 81 subjects with coronary artery disease who were admitted for CAG to a cardiovascular department. Among the selected subjects, 40 of them were assigned to experimental group and the rest of them were assigned to control group by convenience. Supportive nursing care was implemented twice by a researcher. Results: 1. The mean score of knowledge related to coronary artery disease was higher in the group who received supportive nursing care than that of the control group (t=2.259, p=.027). 2. The mean score of compliance of sick role behavior was higher in the group who received supportive nursing care than that of the control group (t=4.580, p=.001). Conclusion: The supportive nursing care after CAG was effective in increasing the knowledge level and compliance of sick-role behavior in patients with coronary artery disease. Further studies would be recommended to identify long-term effectiveness of supportive care on patients' outcomes.

  • This study evaluated the anti-Helicobacter and anti-inflammatory effects of Sohamhyungtang (SHHT). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of SHHT against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was determined by the agar dilution method. Expression of the H. pylori cagA gene in the presence of SHHT was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Inhibition of H. pylori urease by SHHT was determined by the phenol-hypochlorite assay. Antiadhesion activity of SHHT was measured by urea-phenol red reagent. Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in AGS cells was measured with Griess reagent. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and IL-8 mRNA expression in AGS cells which were infected with H. pylori was determined by qRT-PCR. IL-8 level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The MIC of SHHT was $100{\mu}g/mL$ and the expression of cagA gene was decreased about 25 folds in the presence of SHHT. H. pylori urease was inhibited 90% by SHHT. SHHT inhibited H. pylori adhesion on AGS cell in a concentration dependent manner. mRNA expression of iNOS and IL-8 and the production of NO and IL-8 were significantly decreased in the presence of SHHT. In conclusion, SHHT showed anti-Helicobacter activity and has potent anti-inflammatory effect on H. pylori-induced inflammation in human gastric epithelial AGS cells.

  • Dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. DRPLA has been shown to be associated with expansion of an unstable cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeat in a gene on chromosome 12p. We evaluated a family with DRPLA that affected three members; A 35-year-old female presented with seven year history of gait ataxia, dysarthria and mild cognitive impairment. The MRI of the brain revealed diffuse cerebellar atrophy with an incidental lipoma in the midbrain. Her 30-year-old brother presented with progressive cerebellar ataxia that developed at the age of 20. Her grandmother and mother were reported to have developed ataxia during the late period of their life, and died at the age of 60 and 55, respectively. The demonstration of an expanded CAG repeat in the gene for DRPLA was used to confirm the diagnosis.

  • Although most persons infected with Helicobacter pylori harbor a single strain of the organism, multiple strain colonization in the same patient is also occasionally reported in developed countries. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of multiple strain colonization in Korean patients and to detect the cagA, iceA1, and babA status of H. pylori isolated from the antrum and body of the stomach. H. pylori was obtained from 35 patients from the antrum and body of the stomach. The genomic diversity of H. pylori was determined by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. The status of cagA, iceA1, and babA genes of H. pylori was assessed by polymerase chain reaction with appropriate primers. Clearly different diversity patterns were identified among the isolates from 35 individual patients. Eighteen (51.4%) patients had a single strain of H. pylori. Eight (22.9%) and nine (25.7%) patients had subtypically (one or two bands difference) and typically (clearly different pattern) different strains of H. pylori in the antrum and body, respectively. Among the 70 isolates of H. pylori from 35 patients, the positive rates of 349-bp and 208-bp cagA gene fragments and the iceA1 gene were 68/70 (97.1%), 68/70 (97.1%), and 58/70 (82.9%), respectively. However, the babA gene was found in 22/66 cases (31.4%). In five out of 18 patients with a single strain, the genetic status of cagA, iceA1, and babA varied between the isolates from the antrum and the body. In 8/17 patients with sub typically or typically different strains, the gene status differed between antrum and body isolates. The prevalence of co-colonization with typically or subtypically different strains is high in Korea, and sub-clones with different pathogenic gene status exist within strains of identical RAPD patterns.

  • "전지구기후서비스체계" (GFCS)는 2009년 제3차 세계기후회의에서 기후변화 대응 취약 국가와 소외계층에 대해 보다 효율적인 기후정보를 제공하기 위한 전지구차원의 서비스 제공체계 구축 필요성에 대한 공감을 바탕으로 제안되어, 현재 세계기싱기구를 중심으로 관련 UN 및 국제기구간 공조를 통해 향후 약 10년 동안에 걸쳐 이를 이행하기 위한 노력을 기울일 예정이다. GFCS는 과학적 기후정보와 기후예측을 기후변화 적응과 기후위기관리를 상호 연계할 수 있는 기후서비스 개발을 주도하게 된다. GFCS의 기본구조는 5개 주요 요소로 구성되어 있는데, 이에는 관측/모니터링, 연구/모형/예측, 기후서비스정보시스템 및 사용자인터페이스 플랫폼과 함께 이들 모두를 포괄하는 역량개발이 포함되어 있다. 현재 GFCS의 편익분야 중 자연재해경감, 수자원, 보건 분야와 함께 농업/식량안보분야가 4대 우선순위에 포함되어 있는데, WMO의 농업기상위원회(CAgM)은 동분야에 대한 GFCS의 효율적 이행을 지원하기 위해 GFCS의 5개 요소별로 이를 보완하기 위한 전구차원 선도적 협력방안(GIAM)을 제안 추진하고 있다. GIAM의 취지는 기존의 기후서비스체계의 개별적 서비스 구조를 통합하거나 미흡한 부분을 보완하는 방법 등 최소한의 추가적인 자원 투입으로 최대 시너지효과를 도출하는데 중점을 두고 있다. 관측분야는 전구생물계절관측협의체 구축, 연구분야는 지역/전구 농림기상 파일롯프로젝트 도출, 기후서비스분야는 기존 농업기상웹서버인 WAMIS의 지역 및 기능 확대, 사용자인터페이스분야는 기존 사이버농업기상협의체를 보완하기 위한 전구 농림기상학술협의체 구축, 그리고 역량개발분야는 전구농림기상교육훈련센터 구축 등이 추진 중에 있으며, 이들간의 유기적인 연동 지원을 위한 조정기구와 지원사무국의 설립도 기상청에 의해 가시화되고 있으며, 효율적인 운영을 위한 새로운 거버넌스도 미국 조지메이슨대를 중심으로 구축 중에 있다. 한편 GIAM의 성공적인 이행을 위해서는 전산자원 인프라 구축이 선행되어야 함으로 현재 WAMIS를 지원하기 위해서 세계기상기구 정보시스템(WIS)의 자료수집/생산센터(DCPC-WAMIS) 구축 및 회원국간 전산자원공유를 위한 클라우드 및 그리드 환경 구축도 기상청과 KISTI/부경대 등의 협조를 얻어 추진 중에 있다, GIAM의 궁극적인 목표의 하나는 차세대 기후변화 대응 농림기상전문가의 양성에 있는데 이를 구현하는 방안으로 회원국의 추천을 받은 후보자를 전구농림기상 교육훈련센터 대학원 과정에 학비/수업료 면제조건으로 입학시킨 후, 지역 파일롯프로젝트에 연구원으로 참여, 이를 통해 생활비 등 지원을 받는 한편 농림기상 학술협의체 회원 활동, 국내외 실무그룹 활동 등을 통해 농림기상분야 국제전문가로 양성함으로써 향후 회원국 농업/식량안보분야 기후변화 대응에 절대적으로 필요한 핵심정책연구 담당자로서의 역할을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the left main bifurcation and mid-left anterior descending artery using drugeluting stents. Four months after the PCI, the patient was readmitted for cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed stent thrombosis in the left main-to-proximal left anterior descending artery and in-stent restenosis in the left main-to-proximal left circumflex artery. We performed balloon angioplasty at the left main to mid-left anterior descending artery and left main to proximal left circumflex artery stents; subsequently, blood flow was fully restored. However, contrast agent extravasation was observed outside the mid-portion of the left main artery to the proximal left anterior descending artery stent, indicating the presence of a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) outside the stent. After guideline-directed medical therapy with dual antiplatelet agents and high-intensity statins, follow-up CAG revealed near-resolution of the CAA, absence of stenotic lesions, and good blood flow.
