Over the last 70 years, South Korea has gone through countless provocations from North Korea. Provocation is something that must be delicately calculated before the actual action, since it can be extended to a serious conflict. Among the possible factors, this paper focuses on the leader's characteristic, because 1) under North Korean dictatorship, the leader's thoughts are critical influence to policies and 2) personal characteristic, especially if it is the dictator's, hardly changes even when the external circumstances change. The purpose of this paper is in analyzing the correlations between North Korean leader's characteristics and provocation pattern. First, three generations of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-un's personal characteristics will be described. Next, particular provocation features in respective leader's period will follow. Lastly, how each leader's characteristic and concerns were reflected on the provocations will be analyzed.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare chronic low back pain patients' pain provocation position so as to identify the relevance with lumbar stabilizing muscles atrophy and pain provocation position. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Fifty five chronic low back pain patients were participated in this study. Subjects were eligible for study participation if they were 35-55 years old and had experienced low back pain for more than 3 months. Subjects were questioned about pain and pain provocation test were done. And then they were inspected their cross sectional area (CSA) of lumbar muscles (erector spinae, iliopsoas, and multifidus) by using computed tomography. Analyze the relevance through the result data with painful area, aspect of pain and pain provocation position. Results: CSA of erector spinae showed significant decrease on ipsilateral extension position (p<0.05). Iliopsoas muscle showed significant decrease on contralateral position (p<0.05). Multifidus showed significant decrease on the position of contralateral extension and contralateral flexion (p<0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results of our study, it may be possible to evaluate muscle atrophy by assessing causing position.

The purpose of this study was to explore differences in social information processing according to children's sex and types of aggression in response to instrumental and relational provocation factors. Two hundred and fifty-one 4, 5, and 6 graders were selected from an elementary school in Seoul. To evaluate their social information processing, the Intent Attributions and Feelings of Distress(Crick, 1995; Fitzgerald & Asher, 1987) and Response Decision Instrument(Crick & Werner, 1998) were revised and analyzed. A peer-nomination measure(Crick, 1995; Crick & Grotpeter, 1995) was used to select aggressive groups. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate [2(sex: M, F)${\times}$3(type of aggression: overt, relational, overt and relational aggression)] analysis of variance. Findings revealed that children's social information processing patterns were different according to sex and type of aggression. Also aggressive children responded differently in their social information processing according to instrumental and relational provocation factors. Implications of these findings for the role of gender, aggression type, and provocation type are discussed in order to better understanding of children's social information processing.

Although rare, antihistamines can cause adverse effects, including drug-induced eruptions or anaphylaxis. A 4-year-old child visited the pediatric department of a hospital for skin eruptions after administration of antihistamines, (e.g., ucerax [hydroxyzine] or leptizine [levocetirizine]), for cholinergic rashes; he did not have pruritus. Skin prick, intradermal, and drug provocation tests were performed to determine the relationship between the antihistamines and eruptions. Levocetirizine induced wheals in the skin prick test and a rash in the oral drug provocation test. In contrast, ketotifen induced no reaction in the skin prick test but showed a positive reaction in the oral provocation test. Our case report highlights that children can experience the same types of adverse reactions as seen in adults, and cross-reactivity between various antihistamines can occur.

Allergy is conditions when a hypersensitivity reaction happens with a certain element, called as an allergen, which is commonly not reactive to ordinary individuals. Allergic diseases involve various organs or systems in the body. The purpose of allergy tests is to make a diagnosis of allergic diseases and to identify the affecting allergens. In vivo tests, more relevant in clinical situation, include skin test, patch test and provocation test. In in vitro tests, there are specific IgE test, histamine releasing assay, and lymphocyte activation test, safer and more objective than in vivo tests. In the view point of clinical practice, skin test, provocation test, total IgE test and specific IgE test were reviewed in depth.

북한은 최근 4차 핵실험과 대륙간탄도미사일 발사 실험을 실시하며, 한반도와 국제사회를 대상으로 핵 도발을 감행하였다. 북한에서 진행 중인 핵과 미사일 실험은 핵전력의 기술적 수준에 있어서 표준화, 경량화, 다종화의 완성단계에 도달하였다고 판단된다. 이에 북한은 한반도와 국제사회를 대상으로 조만간 핵도발이 현실이 될 것이라는 예상된다. 핵폭탄은 그 엄청난 파괴력으로 인하여 상대방의 제1격을 허용한 다음에 반격을 하겠다는 논리가 적용될 수 없는 절대무기이다. 따라서 핵을 보유하게 된 북한을 상대로 하는 우리는 최소한의 생존권을 보장하기 위해서 '선제적 자위권' 행사는 선택이 아닌 필수적인 대응개념일 수밖에 없다. 조만간 북한의 핵도발이 예상되는 현시점에서 선제타격 시행에 대한 국민적 공감대를 형성하여 도발의 원점지역을 타격할 있는 역량을 구비해야 한다. 또한 향후 예상되는 북한의 5차 핵실험에 대비하여 '핵무장 선택권' 확보할 수 있도록 국가적 역량을 결집해야 한다.

연구배경 : 최근 알레르겐 흡입을 이용한 기관지유발 검사시 말초혈액 호산구수의 변화가 있음이 알려져 있고, 이는 기도 조직내로의 호산구 유입과 관련이 있음이 밝혀졌다. 그러나 히스타민나 에타콜린 흡입과 같은 비특이적 자극에 의한 기관지유발시 말초혈액 호산구수의 변화에 대한 연구는 아직 불충분하다. 이에 대해 저자들은 예비적으로 몇몇 천식 환자들을 대상으로 히스타민 기관지유발검사후 기도수축이 일어날때까지 말초혈액 호산구수를 단계적으로 측정해본 결과, 호산구수가 점차로 증가하는 환자군과 반대로 감소하는 환자군이 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 본연구에서는 저자들의 이러한 예비연구 결과를 재검토하고, 히스타민 기관지유발 검사중에 나타난 말초혈액 호산구수의 변화가 검사후에는 어떤 경과를 밟게 되는지를 관찰하고자 하였다. 방법 : 16명의 천식 환자를 대상으로 히스타민 기관지 유발검사를 시행함과 동시에, 검사전 및 검사후 노력성 1초 호기량($FEV_1$)이 기저치의 20% 이상 감소할때까지는 5분간격으로, 그다음에는 1시간, 2시간, 4시간, 8시간 및 48시간후에 각각 말초혈액 호산구수홀 측정하여 그 변화 경과를 관찰하였다. 결과 : 1) 히스타민 기관지유발검사중의 말초혈액 호산구수 변화를 기준으로 관찰하였을때, 11명(group I)은 기도수축 직전에 기저치보다 증가하는 양상을 보였고, 나머지 5명(group II)은 기도수축 직전에 기저치보다 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 2) Group I에 속한 환자들은 모두 기도수축 후에도 계속 호산구수가 기저치보다 증가된 상태로 유지되는 양상을 보였다. 3) Group II에 속한 환자들은 대부분 기도수축 후에도 계속 호산구수가 기저치보다 감소된 상태로 유지되는 양상을 보였다. 4) Group I과 group II간의 말초혈액 호산구수 기저치, $FEV_1$ 기저치, 히스타민 유발농도 및 혈청 IgE 양에는 의미 있는 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 히스타민 기관지유발검사후 나타나는 말초혈액 호산구수의 변화는 알레르겐 기관지유발검사시와는 다른 양상을 나타내며, 환자에 따라 계속 증가 혹은 감소되는 나름대로의 특징적인 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 조기 천식반응에도 호산구가 어느정도 관여할 것으로 추측된다.

Purpose: There are very few reports of adverse drug reactions (ADR) and almost no study of drug provocation test (DPT) in Korean children. We aimed to assess the role of DPT in children with unpredictable ADRs, and compare the causative drugs and clinical characteristics between detailed history of ADRs and result of DPTs. Methods: We included 16 children who were experienced ADRs referred to pediatric allergy clinic at Ajou University Hospital (January 2006 to December 2009). With various suspected drugs, 71 DPTs were done in 16 patients using our own protocol, and skin tests to antibiotics were combined in ADRs to antibiotics in medical history. Results: There were 17 (23.9%) positive DPTs results out of 71 individual DPTs, and 11 patients (68.8%) from 16 patients were positive to at least one drug. Drugs causing positive reactions were acetaminophen in 5 (31%), Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in 4 (25%), penicillin in 3 (19%), cephalosporin in 2 (13%), and cotrimoxazole, macrolide and lactose in 1 each. Conclusion: DPT seems a safe and useful procedure to confirm causative drug and identify safely administering alternative drugs in children with ADR.

Pain originating from the sacroiliac joint(SIJ) has been associated with poor performance, yet specific diagnosis of sacroiliac dysfunction(SID) has been difficult to achieve. Clinical presentation of SID appears that pain and poor performance is responsive to local analgesia of periarticular structures with poorly defined pathology, and poor performance with bony pathological changes present as a result of chronic instability. Previous research indicates that physical examination cannot diagnose SIJ pathology. Earlier studies have not reported sensitivities and specificities of composites of provocation tests known to have acceptable inter-examiner reliability. Tests based on mechanics as manual provocation for SIJ pain have formed the basis of tests used to diagnose SIJ dysfunction. In this review summary, the purpose of this study was to describe the sacroiliac tests with a model of examination, diagnosis, and management of SID. Further research is warranted to determine whether SIJ tests is reliable means of evaluating innominate impairments.
