본 연구는 Chest CT에서 Care Dose 4D+Care kV System을 사용하여 촬영할 때와 CARE DOSE 4D 기능만을 사용했을 때, 그리고 Care Dose 4D와 관전압을 각각 80 kVp, 100 kVp, 120 kVp, 140 kVp로 변화를 주고 검사했을 때의 DLP값과 팬텀의 입사표면선량, 화질을 비교하여 최소의 선량으로 가장 최상의 화질을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 찾아보고자 하였다. DLP값은 Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV semi 100으로 촬영하였을 때 6.727%, Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV 로 촬영하였을 때 6.481% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. Chest Non을 기준으로 입사표면선량에서 Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV semi 100으로 검사하였을 때 16.519%, Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV 로 검사하였을 때 15.705% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 영상의 화질에 대한 비교에서 Chest Non과 비교해서 Care Dose 4D + Care kV를 포함한 모든 촬영조건에서 SNR값과 CNR값을 비교한 결과 P>0.05로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Chest CT에서 Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV를 사용해서 촬영한 결과 수동으로 kV와 mAS를 조정해서 얻은 최상의 조건의 결과 값과 비슷하게 피폭선량이 감소한 것으로 나타났으며, 영상의 SNR과 CNR에서도 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV 기능을 사용한다면 영상의 화질을 유지하면서 환자피폭을 줄일 수 있는 좋은 방법이라 생각된다.

본 논문에서는 전산화 단층검사 시 방사선 투과 물질로 방사선량을 흡수하여 피폭 선량을 감소시키는 물질로 알려진 차폐용 Bismuth(비스무스)와 CARE kV(Automated Dose-Optimized Selection of X-ray Tube Voltage)을 사용하여 유용성을 평가하였다. 방사선 감수성이 높은 기관인 수정체(안와), 갑상선, 가슴(유방), 생식기의 선량 감소 효과와 각 기관의 심부선량 차폐 효과를 평가하기 위해 Rando Phantom과 유리 선량계를 이용하여 Bismuth 사용 전 후와, CARE kV의 적용에 따른 선량 감소 효과를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 뇌혈관 검사 시 CARE kV을 단독 설정한 검사 방법의 선량이 가장 적었으며, CARE kV 사용여부에 따라 63%의 선량 감소 효과가 있었다. 경동맥 검사 시 CARE kV+Bismuth의 설정 방법에서 선량이 13% 증가하였다. 심혈관 검사 시 CARE kV+Bismuth의 설정 방법이 31% 선량 감소 효과가 있었다. 하지 혈관 검사 시 Bismuth 전체의 설정 방법이 가장 선량이 적게 측정되었지만, 영상 평가 기준에 부적합 하였다. CARE kV을 설정한 검사 방법과는 약 9%의 선량 감소 효과가 있었다.

Backgrounds : Because ventilator-induced lung injury is partly dependent on the intensity of vascular flow, we hypothesized that hypothermia may attenuate the degree of such an injury through a reduced cardiac output. Methods : Twenty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to normothermia ($37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (NT-V) group (n=10), hypothermia ($27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)-injurious ventilation (HT-V) group (n=10), or nonventilated control group (n=7). The two thermal groups were subjected to injurious mechanical ventilation for 20 min with peak airway pressure 30 cm $H_2O$ at zero positive end-expiratory pressure, which was translated to tidal volume $54{\pm}6\;ml$ in the NT-V group and $53{\pm}4\;ml$ in the HT-V group (p>0.05). Results : Pressure-volume (P-V) curve after the injurious ventilation was almost identical to the baseline P-V curve in the HT-V group, whereas it was shifted rightward in the NT-V group. On gross inspection, the lungs of the HT-V group appeared smaller in size, and showed less hemorrhage especially at the dependent regions, than the lungs of the NT-V group. [Wet lung weight (g)/body weight (kg)] ($1.6{\pm}0.1$ vs $2.4{\pm}1.2$ ; p=0.014) and [wet lung weight/dry lung weight] ($5.0{\pm}0.1$ vs $6.1{\pm}0.8$ ; p=0.046) of the HT-V group were both lower than those of the NT-V group, while not different from those of the control group($1.4{\pm}0.4$, $4.8{\pm}0.4$, respectively). Protein concentration of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group($1,374{\pm}726\;ug/ml$ vs $3,471{\pm}1,985\;ug/ml$;p=0.003). Lactic dehydrogenase level of the BAL fluid of the HT-V group was lower than that of the NT-V group ($0.18{\pm}0.10\;unit/ml$ vs $0.43{\pm}0.22\;unit/ml$;p=0.046). Conclusions : Hypothermia attenuated pulmonary hemorrhage, permeability pulmonary edema, and alveolar cellular injuries associated with injurious mechanical ventilation, and preserved normal P-V characteristics of the lung in rats.

배 경 : 부분액체환기 (partial liquid ventilation; PLV) 시 최적의 기계환기의 설정에 대해서는 아직 논란이 많은 상태이다. 이에 정상 폐의 PLV 시 가스교환에 영향을 주는 인자들을 관찰함으로써, PLV 시 최적의 기계환기 설정을 확립하는 데에 이용하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : New Zealand 산 백색 토끼 7 마리를 기계환기를 시행하였다. 기계환기는 압력 조절 양식으로 일회호흡량 ($V_T$) 8 mL/kg, PEEP 4 $cmH_2O$, 흡기대호기비 (I: E ratio) 1:2, 흡입산소분율 ($F_IO_2$) 0.75로 설정하였고, 호흡수(RR)는 $PaCO_2$가 35~45 mmHg 사이에 유지되도록 조절하였다. 이후 30분마다 기계환기기의 설정을 protocol에 따라 변화시키면서 가스환기(gas ventilation; GV)를 시행하였는데 ; (1) 기저 설정 단계, (2) 역비환기 (inverse I: E ratio) 단계로 I:E ratio 2:1, (3) 고 PEEP 단계로 2단계와 같은 평균흡기압 (MIP)을 유지하는 정도의 PEEP 증가, (4) 고 $V_T$ 단계로 $V_T$ 15 mL/kg, (5) 고RR 단계로 4단계와 같은 분당환기량 (MV)을 유지하는 정도로 RR을 증가시켰다. 그 후 perfluorodecalin 18 mL/kg 주입 후 상기 protocol과 동일하게 PLV를 하였다. 각각에서 동맥혈가스검사와 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표를 측정하였다. 결 과 : (1) GV 시 $PaO_2$는 다섯 단계를 거치는 동안 의미 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다. $PaCO_2$는 고 $V_T$단계와 고 RR 단계에서 의미 있게 감소하였다(p<0.05). GV 시 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표의 의미 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다. (2) PLV 군의 기저 $PaO_2$는 $312{\pm}113$ mmHg로 GV군의 $504{\pm}81$ mmHg 에 비해 의미 있게 낮았다(p=0.001). PLV 시 역비환기 단계나 고 RR 단계에서는 기저설정 단계와 비교하여 $PaO_2$의 의미 있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 고 PEEP 단계 ($452{\pm}38$ mmHg)와 고 $V_T$($461{\pm}53$ mmHg) 단계에서는 기저설정 단계보다 유의한 상승이 관찰되었다. (3) $PaCO_2$는 GV군과 PLV군 모두에서 고 $V_T$ 단계와 고 RR 단계에서 기저설정 단계보다 의미 있게 낮았다. PLV군의 기저설정 단계와 고 RR 단계의 $PaCO_2$는 GV 군보다 의미 있게 증가하였다(p<0.05). (4) PLV 시 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표의 의미 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다 결 론 : 정상 폐에서 PLV 시 최적의 가스교환을 위해서는 적절한 PEEP과 $V_T$이 중용할 것으로 사료된다.

Propionibacterium acnes is the pharmacological target site of antiacne drugs. We have examined the antiacne activity of ninety seven natural products which have been used as Korean traditional medicines in various skin disorders. The antibacterial activity of extracts from the natural products were evaluated against P. acnes ATCC 9616 by disc method. Twelve natural products showed the potent antibacterial activity against P. acnes, and were, selected for the minimal inhibitory concentration(MC) against P. acnes. MICs of nine extracts were below 0.3% (w/v) and Sophora flavescens showed the most potent activity with a MIC of less than 0.008%(w/v) against P. acnes. Thus, the results suggest that nine natural products including S. flavescens can be developed as sources of promising potent antiacne agents.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of drive-assisting system in a shower carrier on the upper body muscle activities of caregivers through drivability tests. Background: In care facilities, one of the major ADL (Activities of Daily Living) factors is bathing/showering. Recently, bath/shower-assisting equipment is actively being introduced in care facilities to reduce caregivers' muscle burden. In particular, it is desirable to utilize a shower carrier equipped with drive-assisting system to effectively care for the elderly. However, there were few systematic studies on the relationship between muscle activities and drive-assisting speeds. Method: For the drivability tests to study the effects on the muscle activities according to the drive-assisting speeds(corresponding drive-voltages: 0.0V, 2.0V, 2.1V, 2.3V), 6 females in their 40s($43{\pm}4yrs$, $157{\pm}5cm$, and $54.5{\pm}1.5kg$) were selected. To measure muscle activities of caregivers through drivability tests, 7 muscles in the upper body(TM/Trapezius Muscle, DM/Deltoid Muscle, BBM/Biceps Brachii Muscle, TBM/Triceps Brachii Muscle, ECRLM/Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Muscle, FCUM/Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Muscle, and ESM/Erector Spinae Muscle) were selected. Results: In the TM, muscle activities were decreased as 21% compared to 0.0V, when drive-voltage 2.0V was applied, as 57% by 2.1V, and 62% by 2.3V(p<0.05), whereas 40%, 56%, and 69% of muscles activities were decreased respectively from the DM(p<0.05). Also, from the UL(BBM+TBM+ECRLM+FCUM), muscle activities were decreased by 17% with 2.0V as against 0.0V, by 47% with 2.1V, and 52% with 2.3V, whereas decreases in muscle activities from the ESM were found by 20%, 34%, and 42% respectively by 2.0V, 2.1V, and 2.3V(p<0.05). Conclusion: The muscle activities were decreased in the order of the DM, TM, ESM, and UL. As muscle activities were remarkably reduced as drive voltage were increased, it was expected to reduce the upper body muscle burden on the caregivers when using shower carriers equipped with driving-assist system. Applications: The results from this study can be applied for the development of a shower carrier including other equipment to possibly reduce the muscle burden of the caregivers.

Objective : To find risk factor and symptoms for transferred newborn from postpartum care center Method : We performed a follow-up study using medical record. Subjects comprised 188 neonates(include 4 twins) and 184 women in childbed who were hospitalized in oriental postpartum care center from January, 1, 2002 to December, 31, 2002. Result: Transferred newborn was total 24, N.V.D. 17, C.S. 7, male and female were 12 separately. The symptom of transfer was fever(16), diarrhea(4), jaundice(3), convulsion(1) Transferred number and rate was male 12(10.7%), female 12(15.8%). In delivery method, total normal vaginal delivery(N.V.D.) was 136 and transferred 17(12.5%), total cesarean section(C.S.) was 52 and transferred 7(13.5%). Transferred rank was N.V.D. female(17.9%). C.S. male(15.6%), C.S. female(10%), N.V.D.(8.6%). Of the 188 neonates. immature infants were 2 and transferred 1(50%), term infants were 184, transferred 23(12.5%), post-term infants were 2 and transferred none(0%). In age of women in childbed, transferred ratio was 15.4%(over 35), 15.2%(25-29), 10.5%(30-34). In fever,. C.S. infants were more transferred than N.V.D. and male infant had a tendency to transfer in later period of hospitalization and female in early period. It seems that transfer was related to abortion. In diarrhea, all was N.V.D. and their diagnosis was rotavirus. The average age of women in childbed was yonger(28.5). In jaundice, all was 1st, and average birth weight was lighter(3153g). The average age of women in childbed was older(30). In convulsion, birth weight was lighter(3153g), and age of women in childbed was older(30). Conclusion : There's any relation with sex and delivery method, birth weight and mother's age in transfer. But we cannot find any statistically significance. Further prospective studies are needed to find risk factors in transfer.

Management of maxillofacial trauma includes primary care, in which diagnosis and management of dentoalveolar injury play a vital role. Due to the impact sustained during a maxillofacial injury (whether direct or indirect), dentoalveolar injuries can occur, leading to fracture and displacement of teeth and associated alveolar bone into the surrounding soft tissues and associated structures, such as the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, upper respiratory tract, tracheobronchial tree, or gastrointestinal tract. Undiagnosed displaced teeth may cause complications such as airway obstruction. This paper reports a case of displaced teeth in the nasal cavity and gastrointestinal tract and highlights the management protocol for displaced teeth secondary to maxillofacial trauma.
