Purpose: Foreign body (FB) ingestion is common in children, and button battery (BB) ingestion has been increasing in recent years. This study was to identify factors related to outcomes of FB ingestion, particularly BBs in the stomach. We evaluated whether the current recommendations are appropriate and aimed to suggest indications for endoscopic removal of BB in the stomach in young children. Methods: We investigated patient age, shape, size, location of FBs, spontaneous passage time and resulting complications among 76 children. We observed types, size, location of BB and outcomes, and analyzed their associations with complications. Results: Coins and BB were the two most common FBs. Their shapes and sizes were not associated with the spontaneous passage time. Size, spontaneous passage time, and age were also not associated with any specific complications. For BB ingestion, all 5 cases with lithium batteries (${\geq}1.5cm$, 3 V) presented moderate to major complications in the esophagus and stomach without any symptoms, even when the batteries were in the stomach and beyond the duodenum, while no complications were noted in 7 cases with alkaline batteries (<1.5 cm, 1.5 V) (p=0.001). All endoscopies were conducted within 24 hours after ingestion. Conclusion: The type and voltage of the battery should be considered when determining whether endoscopy is required to remove a BB in the stomach. For lithium battery ingestion in young children, urgent endoscopic removal might be important in order to prevent complications, even if the child is asymptomatic and the battery is smaller than 2 cm.

십이지장 격막은 십이지장 관강 내의 불완전한 막으로 부분폐쇄 또는 간헐적인 완전 폐쇄를 일으킨다. 격막의 개구부 크기에 따라 폐쇄의 정도, 증상이 나타나는 시기, 영상의학적 소견이 다르다. 저자들은 이물질 섭취를 주소로 내원한 14개월 남아에서 우연히 진단된 십이지장 격막 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 복부 방사선 촬영, 상부 위장관조영술, 내시경, 수술 소견들을 종합하여 기술하였다. 저자들은 영아기에 섭취한 이물질의 배출이 지연되고 영상의학적 검사에서 이물질의 위치가 다양하게 변화할 경우, 폐쇄 위치로 십이지장을 고려해야 한다는 사실을 강조한다.

산업기술유출범죄의 추세와 심각성에도 불구하고 그 동안 경찰 등 법집행기관의 노력이 이러한 범죄에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 국내에서 수행된 연구는 많지 않다. 그리하여 본 연구는 산업기술유출범죄를 담당하는 경찰청의 외사기능에 초점을 두어 경찰력을 외사경찰 인력, 예산, 전담부서 설치의 차원으로 구분하여 산업기술유출범죄의 검거와 발생에 미치는 영향을 예비적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 경찰력 중 외사경찰예산의 증가만이 산업기술유출사범의 국내 검거건수를 통계적으로 유의하게 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이외 외사경찰력은 산업기술유출사범의 해외 검거건수와 국내 및 해외 검거인원에는 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 통해 경찰의 산업보안 활동 중 인력과 예산 등 하드웨어적인 측면이 산업기술유출범죄에 미치는 영향이 미미할 수 있다는 점을 엿볼 수 있었다. 그리하여 각종 선행연구에서 제안하고 있는 경찰의 산업보안 활동에 정책 대안을 종합적으로 고려하여 경찰의 산업보안 인력과 조직개선, 전문성 제고를 위한 교육시스템 개선, 국내외 협력과 공조강화, 산업보안 관련 통계개선 및 홍보강화의 시사점을 도출하였다.

ISO 9000 quality standards families were established in 1987 and have been started to implement Korean industry since early 1990s. ISO 9000 standards families of 1987 were revised in 1994 and 2000, respectively, by request of world wide certification bodies and industry quality experts. This article reviews the necessity of ISO 9001 :2000 revision, quality management principles behind it, and benefits that ISO 9001: 2000 could bring. We summarize responses of foreign industry that ISO 9001: 2000 has been implemented. Survey questionnaire for 23 requirements of ISO 9001: 2000 from manufacturing companies of Busan and Kyungnam provinces are collected. Research hypotheses that there is any difference in quality management system practical application due to company size and implementation motivation are tested using SPSS. Finally, recommendations are provided for operating successful quality management system.

Escherichia coli has been used as an expression work horse for foreign genes. This article summarized recent development in genetic engineering techniques for overproduction of medical proteins and industrial enzymes. Special emphasis was placed upon research activities concerning folding and refolding of inclusion bodies at genetic and fermentation levels. Plasmid and mRNA stabilization, development of strong inducible promoters, modification of translational elements and reduction of rpoteolytic degradation were carried out to elevate an expression level of a target protein. Optimization of culture conditions, improvement of denaturation and renaturation steps and coexpression of molecular chaperones or foldase were accomplished to produce active proteins in soluble form. Fusion protein systems with selective separation and surface display technology were also performed in an effort to make the E. coli expression system more effective and versatile.

Penetrating cerebral injuries caused by foreign bodies occur rarely due to the substantial mechanical protection offered by the skull. Throughout most of history, the brain, residing in a "closed box" of bone, has not been vulnerable to external aggression. Recently, we encountered a serious penetrating craniocerebral injury caused by a nail gun. Total excision of the offending nail via emergency craniotomy was performed, but the patient's neurologic status was not improved in spite of aggressive rehabilitative treatment. Here, we report on this troublesome case in light of a review of the relevant literature.

경피적 관상동맥 중재술 시 사용되는 가이드 와이어의 골절은 드문 합병증이다. 골절로 인하여 관상동맥내에 위치하는 가이드 와이어는 혈관 내막 손상과 혈소판의 응집을 촉발하여 혈전 생성을 야기할 수 있다. 좌전하행지에 위치하여 안정 시 흉통을 유발한 가이드 와이어를 성공적으로 제거하고 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

The inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is known as an effective and safe method for preventing fatal pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Usually, the remaining IVC filters are asymptomatic and do not cause clinical problems. We report a case of duodenal perforation caused by a remaining IVC filter.

In a main propulsion system of naval ship, DRME(Double Resilient Mounted Engine) is mostly adopted to ensure vibration isolation and shock resistance against underwater explosion weapon attack. In this paper, an analysis program for vibration and shock evaluation of DRME is presented. DRME is modelled as multi-rigid bodies with nonlinear mounts, and direct time integration method is introduced for shock analysis. The computed results are compared with those of foreign ones. Navy's proposed specifications are well satisfied with this program. This analysis program serves for the development of domestic DRME technology of naval ship.

Two cases of lingual masses were observed among 500 Fischer 344 (F344) rats which were used as control and treated animals in a 2 year carcinogenicity study in Toxicology Research Center, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. The masses grossly appeared as tan, pedunculated, fungiform on the dorsal aspect of the base of the tongues. They were approximately $1.5{\times}1.2{\times}0.3cm$ in size. The microscopic features consisted of acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, papillary projection with connective tissue cores and multifocal chronic active inflammation with hair shafts. The results observed support the epigenetic mechanism of tumorigenesis which is caused by Physical stimuli of foreign bodies. Both of the masses were diagnosed as papillomas with the incidence rate of 0.4%(1/250) in each sex on the basis of the gross and microscopic features.
