  • 본 연구는 오염토양/지하수의 정화를 위하여 사용되는 계면활성제 교정기술의 보다 현실적인 평가를 위하여 토양에 흡착된 계면활성제에 대한 소수성 유기오염물인 Naphthalene과 Phenanthrene의 흡수현상에 대한 연구결과를 나타내었다. 음이온 계면활성제인 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)와 중성 계면활성제인 Tween 80의 흡착곡선은 소수성 꼬리 (hydrophobic tails)간의 상호작용에 의하여 S-형 모양을 보이며 이들 흡착된 계면활성제는 Micelle로 존재하는 계면활성제에 비하여 유기오염물에 대한 보다 강한 흡수능력을 나타내었다. 결과에 나타난 흡수능력의 차이는 계면활성제가 흡착되어있거나 Micelle상태로 존재할 경우 다른 구조를 형성하기 때문이라 사료된다. 흡수된 계면활성제와 Micelle의 상호경쟁에 의하여 유기오염물의 부동성(immobility)을 나타내는 분배계수(distribution coefficient)는 계면활성제의 농도에 반비례하였다. 결론적으로 토양/지하수의 오염물 정화를 위하여 계면활성제 교정기술의 적용 시 고정상 (solid phase)에 있는 흡착 계면활성제에 의한 유기오염물의 지체현상 (retardation)을 고려하여야 한다.

  • Falls are the most serious health problems in elderly population. They are a major cause of premature death, physical injury, immobility, psychosocial dysfunction, and nursing home placement. To reduce the alarming rate of falls and related excessive mortality and morbidity, efforts must be made to detect persons at risk of falling and to prevent or reduce the frequency of falls. To facilitate such approaches, it is essential to find the cause of falling (and under what conditions) of the elderly and the factors that are associated with risk of falling. This study was aimed at designing interventions that minimize risk of falling by ameliorating contributing factors while maintaining or improving patient's mobility.

  • Heterophil (H) to lymphocyte (L) ratios and durations of tonic immobility (TI) were measured to assess stress and fear responses, respectively, in broiler chickens provided either 12 h of natural lighting (12L) or 12 h natural lighting and 12 h of supplementary lighting (24L). Birds illuminated 24L had greater H/L ratios and TI durations than their 12L counterparts. Neither age, sex nor cage level had significant effect on TI reactions.

  • The demand for drug-induced sedation for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans have substantially increased in response to increases in MRI utilization and growing interest in anxiety in children. Understanding the pharmacologic options for deep sedation and general anesthesia in an MRI environment is essential to achieve immobility for the successful completion of the procedure and ensure rapid and safe discharge of children undergoing ambulatory MRI. For painless diagnostic MRI, a single sedative/anesthetic agent without analgesia is safer than a combination of multiple sedatives. The traditional drugs, such as chloral hydrate, pentobarbital, midazolam, and ketamine, are still used due to the ease of administration despite low sedation success rate, prolonged recovery, and significant adverse events. Currently, dexmedetomidine, with respiratory drive preservation, and propofol, with high effectiveness and rapid recovery, are preferred for children undergoing ambulatory MRI. General anesthesia using propofol or sevoflurane can also provide predictable rapid time to readiness and scan times in infants or children with comorbidities. The selection of appropriate drugs as well as sufficient monitoring equipment are vital for effective and safe sedation and anesthesia for ambulatory pediatric MRI.

  • Diagnostic laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) relatively evaluates the electrophysiologic status of the larynx and provides critical clinical informations that no other tests can provide. However, LEMG is still not widely applied as a routine tool in clinical practice. One reason for this is the technical and interpretative difficulties of LEMG. But if LEMG is performed by a team approach consisting of an otolaryngologist and a neurologist, the technique and the interpretation of LEMG are not difficult to master. Another reason is that there is still not exact standard guideline for clinical application of LEMG. LEMG is an essential diagnostic test in evaluating patients with neuromuscular disorders, particulary vocal fold immobility, reduced mobility of vocal fold. The more we have used LEMG, the more we have found it useful in the evaluation and treatment of voice disorders, and the role of LEMG will be extended.

  • Bilateral vocal cord palsy (BVCP) present a challenging condition which result from various etiologies including iatrogenic recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, progressive neurological disorder, intubation, trauma, tumor and idiopathic cause. Careful history taking, laryngoscopic evaluation, laryngeal EMG, and imaging studies are helpful for providing a precise diagnosis and planning appropriate treatment. BVCP causes airway restriction and not vocal dysfunction. In patients with BVFP, treatment is directed at maximizing the airway, while attempting to limit the negative effects of treatment on vocal function. A variety of surgical procedures are available for mangement of BVCP. The most conservative, limited procedure should be selected initially, and then further surgery and more extensive surgery can be tailored to the patient's airway and voice needs. This review will address the etiology, diagnosis, and managements of BVCP.

  • Embryotoxicity tests were performed in Daphnia magna to assess aquatic ecotoxicity of bisphenol A, a well known industrial compound showing estrogen-like activity in vivo, and to examine their effectiveness in the toxicological assessment. The whole embryonic developmental period was classified into 6 stages and developmental abnormality was checked to evaluate the embryotoxicity. In the present study, bisphenol A showed the ability to interfere with embryonic development, suggesting its antiecdysteroidal activity. The rates of mortality, delayed development, deformity and immobility all showed good concentration-response relationship, demonstrating their possibility as useful toxicological indices in daphnid embryotoxicity tests that have been rarely performed so far. It seemed favorable to the test sensitivity that embryos are removed from maternal daphnids around 7 hr after deposition from the ovaries to the brood chamber. These results suggest that daphnid embryotoxicity tests can be one of useful tools available for the assessment of ecotoxicity of various chemicals in the aquatic environment.

  • Several studies have recently demonstrated that skeletal muscle is an endocrine organ releasing and expressing myokines acting in an endocrine or paracrine manner. Irisin is a hormene-like myokine induced after physical exercise by muscle fibers. It was primarily recognized as a molecule able to advance the "browning response" in white adipose tissue, however, it has been recetly identified that irisin also has a fundamental role in the control of bone mass. We study evidence for its possible skeletal effects, including the fundamental role that irisin is involved in the control of bone mass, with beneficial effects on geometry and cortical mineral density. As loss of muscle mass and bone density occurs with immobility, metabolic disease and aging, future studies researching the efficacy of irisin in reversing muscle wasting and restoring bone would be important to proving irisin as a molecule that combines helpful effects for treating muscular atrophy and osteoporosis in elderly people.

  • 이 논문의 목적은 급속한 경제발전과 산업화 초기단계의 한국사회에서 경력내 직업이동구조가 어떻게 구축되었는가를 밝히는 데에 있다. 생애사 자료에 나타난 직업이동의 개인사들을 분석함으로써 이 논문은 산업화 초기단계인 1954년에서 1983년까지 30년 동안의 성인 남녀의 경력내 연간 직업이동들을 모형화하였다. 상위 비육체노동직업, 하위 비육체노동직업, 자영업, 육체노동직업, 농업의 5개 직업범주를 통하여 연원 이동표상에 나타난 이동형태는 비이동성에 의해 일차적으로 특징지워진다. 그러나 이동의 절대량으로 볼 때 비이동성의 정도는 각 직업군에서 달리 나타나, 요약하면 U자형이라고 볼 수 있다. 전체적으로 연간이동의 형태는 직업간의 거리라는 개념으로 가장 잘 설명될 수 있다. 직업이동의 상대적 형태를 연구하기 위해서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 대수선형모형의 문제점들을 지적하고 비판하면서 필자는 개념적,이론적 작업과 모형추정의 방법론적 작업을 결합시키는 형태의 대수선형모형을 주장하였다. 이러한 모형은 1) 세대간 이동과 세대내(경력간)이동의 구별을 가능하게 하며, 2) 불평등구조 관점, 노동시장적 관점, 생애사적 관점을 동시에 반영할 수 있는 것이어야 한다. 이동표의 분석에서 출발직업과 도달직업의 상대적 규모 외에 크게 6가지의 개념적으로 구별되는 설명요인들(지속성, 천정, 전통부문, 비육체노동, 대안적 이동경로, 직업간 거리)에 바탕을 둔 모형을 통하여 경력이동의 형태를 분석하였다. 우리사회에서 세대내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 지속성 요인과 천정효과에 의해 좌우되는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 세대간 이동의 연구결과와는 달리, 우리사회에서 세대내 (경력내) 직업이동에서는 자영업으로의 대안적 이동경로의 요인이 강하게 작용하고 있는 것으로 나타난다. 세대내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 다음과 같은 몇가지로 특징지울 수 있다. 첫째, 대각선상에서 일어나는 지속성 요인의 효과가 절대적이다. 지속성 요인의 효과는 서구 선진산업사회에서의 U자형과는 달리 역-J자형으로 나타나고 있다. 둘째, 비육체노동직업과 육체노동직업 및 농업간의 직업간 거리에 의한 부의 이동효과가 명백히 발견된다. 셋째 농업으로부터의 이동은 상대적으로 도달직업의 종류와 상관없이 일어나고 있다. 넷째, 비육체노동직업간의 이동은 상대적으로 매우 높고 쌍방향적이며, 다른 직업군에 대해 배타적이다. 다섯째, 유출과 유입의 양 측면에 있어 자영업은 매우 독특한 기능을 수행하고 있다. 여섯째, 우리사회에서 경력내 직업이동의 상대적 형태는 대각선을 중심으로 비대칭적이다.
