Purpose: The standard tool for the pattern identification is used for identifying patterns in patients using a questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to reorganize the standard tool for the pattern identification of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) developed in 2017 and to analyze the reliability and validity of the standard tool for pattern identification by applying it to GERD patients. Methods: To reorganize the standard tool for the pattern identification of GERD developed in the previous study, we searched the literature in the main databases, OASIS (Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System) and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). We added the search results to the data used in the previous study and went through the reorganizing courses, such as evaluating the validity of the translation, the Delphi technique, and a small survey. After reorganization, the patients who visited the Kyunghee University Korean Medicine Center for GERD symptoms were provided the questionnaire, including the reorganized standard tool for pattern identification. We analyzed the survey results to evaluate their reliability and validity. Results: Fifty patients completed the questionnaire. Reliability analysis results showed a pattern identification match rate of 86%, Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.834, and intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.907. The Mann - Whitney U test and logistic regression were implemented to check the relations between the survey questions and pattern identification results; the Pearson correlation, compared with other scales, showed a moderate score. Conclusion: We reorganized the standard tool for the pattern identification of GERD to be updated on current issues and so that it is easily used. The analysis results of the questionnaire showed that the reorganized standard tool had high reliability and moderate validity.

목 적 : 본 연구는 태아 심기형의 산전 진단이 보호자의 임신유지 결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 분석을 시행하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 서울대학교 어린이병원에서 1988년 7월부터 2003년 6월까지 시행한 태아 심 초음파 검사 중 태아 심혈관 질환이 발견되었던 370 검사를 우선 선정 후, 기질적 심질환이 없는 부정맥과 다태 임신을 제외한 299 임신을 본 조사의 대상으로 하였다. 299례에 대하여 의무기록 및 전화 설문을 통한 후향적 분석을 시행하여 분만 지속 여부 및 분만 방법에 대하여 조사하였고, 임신 지속 여부에 관한 보호자의 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 본 연구에 포함된 대상의 진단시 평균 재태 주령은 $28{\pm}6.0$주였으며, 산모의 평균 연령은 $30{\pm}3.9$세였다. 임신 중단군과 지속군으로 구분하여 각 요인이 임신 지속 여부에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사한 결과, 진단시 재태 주령이 어릴수록(P=0.000), 심기형의 정도가 심할수록(P=0.002), 그리고 산모의 연령이 어릴수록(P=0.014) 임신 종결을 더 많이 선택한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 태아 상태의 정도, 동반 기형의 정도, IVF 시행여부, 자녀의 수는 임신 지속 여부와 무관한 것으로 나타났다(Table 5). 결 론 : 본 연구에 의하면 진단시 재태 주령이 어릴수록, 산모의 연령이 적을 수록, 그리고 태아 심기형의 정도가 심할수록 임신을 중단하는 비율이 높다는 결론을 얻었다. 현실적으로는 태아 심초음파가 시행되는 재태 주령이 평균 29주로 너무 늦은 감이 있으며, 기형에 대한 극도의 편견으로 인하여 완치가 가능한 질환 마저 인공 임신 중절을 시행하는 비윤리적인 상황이 벌어지고 있는 상황이다.

Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) is a novel jack-of-all-trades in cancer. Here we quantify the prognostic impact of this biomarker and assess how consistent is its expression in solid tumors. A comprehensive search strategy was used to search relevant literature updated on October 3, 2014 in PubMed, EMBASE and WEB of Science. Correlations between HDGF expression and clinicopathological features or cancer prognosis was analyzed. All pooled HRs or ORs were derived from random-effects models. Twenty-six studies, primarily in Eastern Asia, covering 2,803 patients were included in the analysis, all of them published during the past decade. We found that HDGF overexpression was significantly associated with overall survival (OS) ($HR_{OS}=2.35$, 95%CI=2.04-2.71, p<0.001) and disease free survival (DFS) ($HR_{DFS}=2.25$, 95%CI =1.81-2.79, p<0.001) in solid tumors, especially in non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Moreover, multivariate survival analysis showed that HDGF overexpression was an independent predictor of poor prognosis ($HR_{OS}=2.41$, 95%CI: 2.02-2.81, p<0.001; $HR_{DFS}=2.39$, 95%CI: 1.77-3.24, p<0.001). In addition, HDGF overexpression was significantly associated with tumor category (T3-4 versus T1-2, OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.17-3.83, p=0.013) and lymph node status (N+ versus N-, OR=2.37, 95%CI: 1.31-4.29, p=0.03) in CCA. This study provides a comprehensive examination of the literature available on the association of HDGF overexpression with OS, DFS and some clinicopathological features in solid tumors. Meta-analysis results provide evidence that HDGF may be a new indicator of poor cancer prognosis. Considering the limitations of the eligible studies, other large-scale prospective trials must be conducted to clarify the prognostic value of HDGF in predicting cancer survival.

2015년 6월에 살구나무(Modern과 Alexander 품종)에 잿빛무늬병이 발생하였으며, 과실에 대한 발병률은 5% 정도였다. 잿빛무늬병은 발생 초기 살구 과실의 표면에 작은 갈색 반점이 생기다가 병이 진전된 후에는 점차 확대되어 수침상의 병반이 퍼지고, 시간이 더 지나면 갈변된 원형의 병반 위에 백색의 포자 덩어리가 밀생하여 결국에는 과실 전체가 부패하였다. 특히, 수확기 1-2주를 앞두고 잿빛무늬병 발생이 더욱 심하였다. M. fructicola 분생포자는 분지된 염주상으로 사슬모양을 나타냈으며, 단생, 투명하고, 난형-레몬형으로 크기는 $14.6-18.0{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$였다. 살구 잿빛무늬병을 일으키는 병원균의 형태적 특징, 병원성 검정, rDNA의 ITS 영역의 염기서열 분석을 기초로 M. fructicola로 동정하였으며, NCBI에서 BLAST search한 결과 M. fructicola로 등록된 GenBank accession Nos. KC544809, JN176564, FJ515894, KM279616 등과 100% 일치하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Objectives : The aim of this review is to investigate studies on skin adverse reactions and to demonstrate subjects related to the adverse effects in dermatology. Methods : Electric searches were performed with KISS(Korean studies Information Search System) and the key words were combination of 'skin' and 'adverse effect'. 87 literatures investigated in this review were issued from 1900 to 2016. Results : Among the 87 papers, dermatologic adverse reactions were reported in 83 papers in medicine, accounting for 95.4%. Of the adverse effects seen on the skin, 84 discoloration such as erythema, pigmentation and hemotelangiosis were the most common, accounting for 21%. Among the medical adverse reactions not seen on the skin, 21 infection were the most common, accounting for 25%. Among the subjective adverse reactions, of which 32 pruritus were the most common, accounting for 43%. Among the 87 papers, there were 3 cases with underlying diabetes and 3 cases with underlying hypertension, followed by 2 cases with chronic renal failure, HBV, atopic dermatitis and respectively 1 case with alcoholism, depression addiction, multiple myeloma, arthritis and psoriasis. The most frequent period until adverse reactions appeared was within 2 weeks, accounting for 13 papers. And 4 were the most frequent adverse reactions lasting less than 1 month, and 4 were more than 3 months and less than 6 months. There were 48 cases where adverse reactions were caused by nonmedical practioner's treatment. The adverse reactions by the pharmacist were the highest at 11 cases (23%). There were 17 cases of adverse reactions due to medical treatment, among which dermatologists and nondermatologists accounted for the majority of 5 cases, 29%. The most common cause of adverse reactions was the application of external medicine (41 cases), followed by 36 cases of foreign body implantation, eyebrow tattooing, ear piercing, etc. Conclusions : In this report, we demonstrated patterns of adverse reactions in the medical field of dermatology caused by non-medical personnel than medical personnel. We suggest that more effort should be followed by medical personnel to establish clear awareness of skin disease and by patients to be aware of the risks of the illegal medical treatment by non-medical personnel.
