  • Background: Usually, lumbar epidural block is performed on the $L_{3-4}$ interspace. This study was designed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and shortening of labor duration comparing the $L_{1-2}$ and $L_{3-4}$ interspace epidural blocks in nulliparous normal vaginal deliveries and then investigates side effects following the blocks. Methods: Eighty healthy nulliparous women were divided into two groups, $L_{1-2}$ (n = 40) and $L_{3-4}$ (n = 40). Epidural blocks, lumbar epidural block were performed at the $L_{1-2}$ and $L_{3-4}$ interspace with a catheter advancing 3 cm cephalad. The initial dose of 12 ml (0.167% bupivacaine, fentanyl $50{\mu}g$ and clonidine $75{\mu}g$) was injected epidurally at 4 cm dilatation of cervix and severe pain of labor. If a visual analogue scale (VAS) score was more than 4 points, an additional dose was administered epidurally using the same volume as the above mentioned, but with the exception that the bupivacaine was diluted to 0.1 percentage. The maternal blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate and fetal heart rate were measured at 10 min intervals for the first 30 min, at 15 min interval for the next 30 min and at 30 min interval for the last one hour following the blocks. The duration of the first (active) and second stages of labor was counted and the neonatal Apgar score was recorded at one and five min after delivery. The degree of motor block, pruritus, nausea and vomiting were also noted. Results: The patients in group $L_{1-2}$ had lower pain scores than group $L_{3-4}$ at 5, 20, 30, 60 mins. The duration of 1st and 2nd labor stage in the $L_{3-4}$ epidural block were $272{\pm}33.5$ min, $49.2{\pm}27.4$ min respectively but those in the $L_{1-2}$ epidural block were $253.5{\pm}32.5$ min, $37.3{\pm}22.3$ min, respectively. Conclusions: We concluded the analgesic efficacy and shortening of labor duration in $L_{1-2}$ epidural block was better than those in $L_{3-4}$ epidural block. Maternal hemodynamic change, motor block. pruritus, nausea, vomiting and Apgar score showed no significant differences between the two groups.

  • A 3-year-old, 43kg, pregnant Great Pyrenese was examined for clinical signs of acute weakness and anorexia for 4 days. The dog was in lateral recumbency at referral. The rectal temperature was within reference range, and the respiratory and heart rates were 36 breaths/min and 58 beats/min, respectively. The abdomen was distended, and several puppies were palpated. The mean fetal head diameter was 2.8cm in the ultrasonographic examination. The initial complete blood count and serum biochemical examinations revealed mild dehydration, mud hyperglycemia, hypochloremia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and low sodium-potassium ratio. Serum BUN and total cholesterol values were slightly high. Hypoadrenocortical crisis was suspected on the basis of signs of acute collapse, hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. Adrenal gland function was evaluated by an ACTH stimulation test. The baseline cortisol concentration was $18.6{\mu}g/dl$ and the concentration at 1 hour after administration of tetracosactrin (ACTH, Synacthen) was $8{\mu}g/dl$. The dog was treated for the correction of assumed hypoadrenocortical crisis and substantial hyperkalemia. In addition to rapid infusion with saline solution, other medications administered intravenously included sodium bicarbonate and cimetidine hydrochloride. The dog was monitored with repeated serum electrolyte examination. After clinical stabilization, cesarean section was performed. All of 13 puppies were delivered, and the dog recovered from anesthesia without complications. The values of postpartum blood tests returned to normal or within reference range. The dog remained healthily.

  • 목적: Kabuki 증후군은 정신 지체를 동반하는 선천성 다발성 기형 증후군이다. 우리나라에서는 현재까지 6례의 Kabuki 증후군 증례가 산발적으로 보고 된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 저자들이 경험한 Kabuki 증후군 환자 6명의 임상 및 유전학적 특징을 조사하고, 이를 외국 문헌들과 비교 분석해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년부터 2009년까지 아주대학교 병원 유전질환 전문센터에서 Kabuki 증후군으로 진단되어 추적 중인 6명의 한국인 여아를 대상으로 하였으며, 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하여 이들의 임상 및 검사 소견을 수집하고 분석하였다. 결 과: 6명의 환자 모두가 특징적인 얼굴 모습 및 발달 지연 소견을 보이고 있었고, 손끝의 태아 패드 또한 모든 환자에서 확인되었다. 이외에도 대부분의 환자가 생후 성장 지연(83.3 %) 및 근력 저하(83.3%) 소견을 보였다. 안과적인 이상 또한 흔하게 동반되었는데, 특히 사시(83.3%)가 가장 흔한 안과적 이상 소견이었다. 선천성 심장 기형은 50%의 환자에서 동반되었으며, 골격계통의 증상으로는 짧거나(83.3%) 굽은(50%) 5번째 손가락, 관절의 과신전(50%) 및 고관절 탈구(16.7%) 등으로 다양하였다. Kabuki 증후군의 가족력을 가진 환자는 없었으며, 핵형 분석 및 array CGH를 포함한 세포유전학적 분석에서 Kabuki 증후군의 원인으로 생각되는 이상 소견은 발견되지 않았다. 결 론: 한국인 Kabuki 증후군 환자들이 보이는 임상 양상은 매우 광범위하며 다양한 신체 기관을 침범하고 있다. 비록 Kabuki 증후군의 임상적특징들이 비교적잘 알려져 있기는 하지만, 아직질환의 원인으로 추정되는 유전적 이상은 확실히밝혀지지 않았다. 적절한 질환의 관리및 유전상담이 이루어지기 위해서는 Kabuki 증후군의 자연 경과 및 유전적 배경에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

  • 초음파 영상(ultrasound imaging)이란 주파수의 음파를 이용하여 서로 다른 조직의 경계에서 반사, 흡수, 굴절, 투과 등의 물리적인 작용을 일으킨다. 초음파 장비로부터 생성되는 데이터 특성상의 잡음이 많고, 실제로 관찰하고자 하는 조직의 경계가 모호해서 형태의 파악이 어렵기 때문에 개선이 필요하다. 영상 화질의 감소로 인하여 경계면이 뭉쳐 보이는 경우를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 윤곽선(edge) 강조 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 경계면을 강화시키는 방법으로 언샤프닝 마스크와 하이부스트를 이용하여 각 영상에서 고주파 부분인 경계면을 강화시켜 화질 향상을 확인하였으며 원 영상과 화질이 향상된 영상을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 MSE, RMSE, PSNR, SNR 등으로 측정하여 각 영상에 사용한 마스크 필터링을 평가했다. 필립스의 epiq 5 g , affiniti 70 g와 알피니언의 E-cube 15 초음파 장비로부터 복부, 머리, 심장, 간, 신장, 유방, 태아 영상을 획득하였다. 알고리즘 구현에 사용된 프로그램은 MathWorks의 MATLAB R2022a으로 구현하였다. 언샤프닝과 하이부스트 마스크 배열 크기는 3×3으로 설정하였으며 윤곽선 강조 영상을 만들 때 사용하는 공간필터인 라플라시안(laplacian) 필터를 두 마스크 모두 동일하게 적용하였다. 화질 정량 평가는 ImageJ 프로그램을 사용하였다. 다양한 초음파 영상에서 마스크 필터를 적용한 결과 주관적인 화질은 원 영상에서 언샤프닝과 하이부스트 마스크를 적용하였을 경우 영상의 전반적인 윤각선이 뚜렷하게 보였으며 또한 하이부스트 마스크에서는 언샤프닝 마스크 영상보다 밝은 명암비를 보여주었다. 정량적인 영상의 품질 비교 시 원 영상보다 언샤프닝 마스크와 하이부스트 마스크를 적용한 영상의 화질이 높게 평가되었다. 간문맥, 머리, 쓸개, 신장의 영상에서는 하이부스트 마스크를 적용한 영상의 SNR, PSNR, RMSE, MAE이 높게 측정되었으며 심장, 유방, 태아 영상은 반대로 언샤프닝 마스크 적용 영상이 SNR, PSNR, RMSE, MAE 값이 높은 값으로 측정되었다. 영상에 따라 최적의 마스크를 사용하는 것이 영상 품질 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 사료되며 각 부위의 초음파 영상의 윤곽 정보를 제공하여 영상의 품질을 향상시켰다.

  • This study was carried out to assess the problems with the pregnant women, and check out the risk-factors in the high-risk pregnancies, using a simplified antepartum risk-scoring system, which was revised from Edwards' scoring system to be suitable for Korean situaition. This instrument was included 4 categories, demographic, obstetric, medical and miscellaneous factors. This survey was based on the 1300 pregnant women who were admitted, $x^2$-test, F-test, Pearsons correation, using statistical package SAS in NAS computer system, KIST. The results of the study were as follows; 1. 1313 infants were deliveried of these 560 infants(42.7%) were born to mothers with risk-scores > 7, and 753 infants(57.3%) were born to mothers risk-scores <7. 2. Maternal age" parity, education level, of the demographic factors were significant relation statistically to identify the high risk pregnancies($X^2$=20.88, 42.87, 15.60 P < 0.01). 3. C-section, post term, incompetent cervix, uterine anomaly, polyhydramnios, congenital anomaly, sensitized RH negative, abortion, preeclampsia, excessive size infant, premature, low birth weight infanl, abnormal presentation, perinatal loss, multiple pregnancy, of the obstetric factors were significant relation statistically to identify the high risk-pregnancies. ($X^2$ = 175.96, 87.5, 16.28, 21.78, 9.46, 8. 10, 6.75, 22.9, 64.84, 6.93, 361.43, 185.55, 78.65, 45.52, P < 0.01). 4. Abnormal nutrition, anemia, UTI, other medicalcondition(pulmonary disease, severe influenza), heart disease, V.D., of the miscellaneous and medical factors, were significant relation statistically to identify the high risk-pregnancies. 5. Premature, low birth weight infant, contracted pelvis, abnormal presentation, of the risk factors were significantly related with Apgar score at 1 '||'&'||' 5 minute after birth and neonatal body weight. 6. Apgar score at 1 '||'&'||' 5 minute after, birth and neonatal body weight were significantly negative correlated with risk-score. 7. There were statistically significant difference between risk-score and Apgar score at 1 '||'&'||' 5 minute after birth, 3 group(0-3, 4-6, above 7), and neonatal body weight, 2 group(below 2.5kg, the other group) (F=104.65, 96.61, 284.92, P<0.01). 8. Apgar score at 1 '||'&'||' 5 minute after birth(below 7), and neonatal body weight(below 2.5kg), were significant relation statistically with risk score.($x^2$=65.99, 60.88, 177.07, P<0.01) were 60.8 %, 60% . 9. Correct classifications of morbid infants(l '||'&'||' 5 minute Apgar score < 7) were 77.8%, 83.8% and that of nonmorbid infants(l '||'&'||' 5 minute Apgar score > 7) were 60.8%, 60%. 10. There were statistically significant difference between dislribution of maternal risk-score among the morbid infants(l '||'&'||' 5 minute Apgar score < 7) and non morbid infants(l '||'&'||' 5 minute Apgar score> 7) ($x^2$=64.8, 58.8, P < 0.001). 11. There were statistically significant difference between distribution of morbid infants(l '||'&'||' 5 minute Apgar score < 7) and fetal death. 12. The predictivity for classifying high.risk cases was 12 % and for classifying low-risk cases was 98.3 % in 5 minute Apgar score. Suggestions for further studies are as follows; 1. Contineous prospective studies, using this newly revised scoring system are strongly recommended in the stetric service. 2. Besides risk facto~s used in this study, assessmenl of risks by factors in another scoring system and paralled studies related to perinatal outcome are strongly recommended.

  • According to the review and analysis of medical cases that are assigned to the Supreme Court and all local High Court in 2011 and that are presented in the media, it was found that the following categories were taken seriously, medical and pharmaceutical product liability, the third principle of trust between medical institutions, negligence and causation estimation, responsibility limit, the meaning of medical records and related judgment of disturbed substantiation, Oriental doctors' duties to explain the procedures, IMS events, whether one can claim for each medical care operated by non-physician health care institutions to the nonmedical domain in the National Health Insurance Corporation, and the basis of norms for each claim. In the cases related to medical pharmaceutical product liability, Supreme Court alleviated burden of proof for accidents with medical and pharmaceutical products prior to the practice of Product Liability Law and onset the point of negative prescription as the time of damage strikes to condition feasibility of the specific situation. In the cases related to the 3rd principle of trust between medical institutions, the Supreme Court refused to sentence the doctor who has trusted the judgment of the same third-party doctors the violations of the care duty. With respect to proof of a causal relationship and damages in a medical negligence case, the Supreme Court decided that it is unjust to deny negligence by the materials of causal relationship rejecting the original verdict and clarified that the causal relationship shall not deny the reasons to limit doctors' responsibilities. In order not put burden on patients with disadvantages in which medical records and the description of the practice or the most fundamental and important evidence to prove negligence and causation are being neglected, the Supreme Court admitted in the hospital's responsibility for the case of the neonate death of suffocation without properly listed fetal heart rate and uterine contraction monitor. On the other hand, the Seoul Western District Court has admitted alimony for altering and forging medical records. With respect to doctors' obligations to description, the Supreme Court decided that it is necessary to explain the foreseen risks by the combination of oriental and western medicines emphasizing the right of patient's self-determination. However, questions have arisen whether it is realistically feasible or not. In a case of an unlicensed doctor performing intramuscular stimulation treatment (IMS), the Supreme Court put off its decision if it was an unlicensed medical practice as to put limitation of eastern and western medical practices, but it declared that IMS practice was an acupuncture treatment therefore the plaintiff's conduct being an illegal act. In the future, clear judgment on this matter should be made. With respect to the claim of bills from non-physical health care institutions, the Supreme Court decided to void it for the implementation of the arrangement is contrary to the commitments made in the medical law and therefore, it is invalid to claim. In addition, contrast to the private healthcare professionals, who are subject to redemption according to the National Healthcare Insurance Law, the Seoul High Court explicitly confirmed that the non-professionals who receive the tort operating profit must return the unjust enrichment and have the liability for damages. As mentioned above, a relatively wide range of topics were discussed in medical field of 2011. In Korea's health care environment undergoing complex changes day by day, it is expected to see more diverse and in-depth discussions striding out to the development in the field of health care.
