Photobacterium sp. YW2207 was isolated from rainbow trout raised in a fish farm located in Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon Province, South Korea. Based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis and phylogenetic analysis, it was confirmed that Photobacterium sp. YW2207 showed 100% similarity with Photobacterium piscicola and Photobacterium phosphoreum, and 94.6% similarity with P. damselae subsp. damselae. Biochemical analysis revealed that Photobacterium sp. YW2207 is a Gram-negative, motile bacterium with a cell size of 1.5~3×3~5 ㎛. The bacteria were cultured on nutrient agar, brain heart infusion agar, Muller-Hinton agar, tryptic soy agar, and thiosulfate citrate bile sucrose agar with NaCl concentrations ranging from 0 to 2.5%. The API50CHE and API20E tests indicated lower utilization capabilities compared to the P. damselae strains provided in the API database. Furthermore, unlike most Photobacterium species, Photobacterium sp. YW2207 presented negative for catalase test. Results from the flow cytometric measurement indicated that Photobacterium sp. YW2207 exhibited a more diverse distribution of cell sizes and had larger cell sizes compared with P. damselae subsp. damselae. Minimum inhibitory concentration tests showed that Photobacterium sp. YW2207 had low susceptibility to β-Lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics, while having high susceptibility to tetracycline, doxycycline, and quinolone antibiotics. Pathogenicity on rainbow trout revealed that an immersion of 1×10⁵ CFU/ml did not cause mortality or clinical symptoms.

In squat reinforced concrete walls, the displacement capacity for lateral deformation is low and the ability to resist the axial load can quickly be lost, generating collapse. This work consists of testing two squat reinforced concrete walls. One of the specimens is built with conventional detailing of reinforced concrete walls, while the second specimen is built applying an alternative design, including stirrups along the diagonal of the wall to improve its ductility. This solution differs from the detailing of beams or coupling elements that suggest building elements equivalent to columns located diagonally in the element. The dimensions of both specimens correspond to a wall with a low aspect ratio (1:1), where the height and length of the specimen are 1.4 m, with a thickness of 120 mm. The alternative wall included stirrups placed diagonally covering approximately 25% of the diagonal strut of the wall with alternative detailing. The walls were tested under a constant axial load of 0.1f'cAg and a cyclic lateral displacement was applied in the upper part of the wall. The results indicate that the lateral strength is almost identical between both specimens. On the other hand, the lateral displacement capacity increased by 25% with the alternative detailing, but it was also able to maintain the 3 complete hysteretic cycles up to a drift of 2.5%, reaching longitudinal reinforcement fracture, while the base specimen only reached the first cycle of 2% with rapid degradation due to failure of the diagonal compression strut. The alternative design also allows 46% more energy dissipation than the conventional design. A model was used to capture the global response, correctly representing the observed behavior. A parametric study with the model, varying the reinforcement amount and aspect ratio, was performed, indicating that the effectiveness of the alternative detailing can double de drift capacity for the case with a low aspect ratio (1.1) and a large longitudinal steel amount (1% in the web, 5% in the boundary), which decreases with lower amounts of longitudinal reinforcement and with the increment of aspect ratio, indicating that the alternative detailing approach is reasonable for walls with an aspect ratio up to 2, especially if the amount of longitudinal reinforcement is high.

Objectives: This study explored the prevalence and predictors of alcohol and cannabis co-use among 9263 Filipino adolescents, using data from the 2019 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis of the GSHS, targeting adolescents aged 13-17 years and excluding cases with incomplete data on alcohol and cannabis use. Our analysis employed the bivariate chi-square test of independence and multivariable logistic regression using Stata version 18 to identify significant predictors of co-use, with a p-value threshold set at 0.05. Results: The weighted prevalence of co-users was 4.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.4 to 5.3). Significant predictors included male sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.50; 95% CI, 3.31 to 6.10; p<0.001) and being in a lower academic year, specifically grade 7 (aOR, 4.08; 95% CI, 2.39 to 6.99; p<0.001) and grade 8 (aOR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.30 to 3.72; p=0.003). Poor sleep quality was also a significant predictor (aOR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.29 to 2.44; p<0.001), as was a history of attempted suicide (aOR, 5.31; 95% CI, 4.00 to 7.06; p<0.001). Physical inactivity was associated with lower odds of co-use (aOR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.62; p<0.001). Additionally, non-attendance of physical education classes (aOR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.06 to 2.05; p=0.021), infrequent unapproved parental checks (aOR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.80; p=0.024), and lower parental awareness of free-time activities (aOR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.45 to 0.87; p=0.005) were associated with higher odds of co-use. Factors not significantly linked to co-use included age group, being in grade 9, always feeling lonely, having no close friends, being bullied outside school, and whether a parent or guardian understood the adolescent's worries. Conclusions: The findings highlight the critical need for comprehensive interventions in the Philippines, addressing not only physical inactivity and parental monitoring but also focusing on sex, academic grade, participation in physical education classes, sleep quality, and suicide attempt history, to effectively reduce alcohol and cannabis co-use among adolescents.

Backgrounds/Aims: Hemangiomas are the most common benign liver lesions; however, they are usually asymptomatic and seldom require surgery. Enucleation and resection are the most commonly performed surgical procedures for symptomatic lesions. This study aims to compare the outcomes of these two surgical techniques. Methods: A retrospective analysis of symptomatic hepatic hemangiomas (HH) operated upon between 2000 and 2021. Patients were categorized into the enucleation and resection groups. Demographic profile, intraoperative bleeding, and morbidity (Clavien-Dindo Grade) were compared. Independent t-test and chi-square tests were used for continuous and categorical variables respectively. p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Sixteen symptomatic HH patients aged 30 to 66 years underwent surgery (enucleation = 8, resection = 8) and majority were females (n = 10 [62.5%]). Fifteen patients presented with abdominal pain, and one patient had an interval increase in the size of the lesion from 9 to 12 cm. The size of hemangiomas varied from 6 to 23 cm. The median blood loss (enucleation: 350 vs. resection: 600 mL), operative time (enucleation: 5.8 vs. resection: 7.5 hours), and postoperative hospital stay (enucleation: 6.5 vs. resection: 11 days) were greater in the resection group (statistically insignificant). In the resection group, morbidity was significantly higher (62.6% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.05), including one mortality. All patients remained asymptomatic during the follow-up. Conclusions: Enucleation was simpler with less morbidity as compared to resection in our series. However, considering the small number of patients, further studies are needed with comparable groups to confirm the superiority of enucleation over resection.

Objective: Laser ablation is a therapeutic modality used to reduce the volume of large benign thyroid nodules. Unsatisfactory reduction and regrowth are observed in some treated nodules. The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of laser treatment for solid nodules during a 5-year follow-up period, the regrowth rate, and the predictive risk factors of nodule regrowth. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with benign, solid, cold thyroid nodules who underwent laser ablation and were followed-up for 5 years. According to the selection criteria, 104 patients were included (median baseline nodule volume, 12.5 mL [25.0-75.0%, 8-18 mL]; median energy delivered, 481.5 J/mL [25.0-75.0%, 370-620 J/mL]). Nodule volume, thyroid function test results, and ultrasound were evaluated at baseline and then annually after the procedure. Results: Of 104 patients, 31 patients (29.8%) had a 12-month volume reduction ratio (VRR) < 50.0% and 39 (37.5%) experienced nodule regrowth. Of these 39 patients, 17 (43.6%) underwent surgery and 14 (35.9%) underwent a second laser treatment. The rate of nodule regrowth was inversely related to the 12-month VRR, i.e., the lower the 12-month VRR, the higher the risk of regrowth (p < 0.001). The mean time for nodule regrowth was 33.5 ± 16.6 months. The 12-month VRR was directly related to time to regrowth, i.e., the lower the 12-month VRR, the shorter the time to regrowth (p < 0.001; R² = 0.3516). Non-spongiform composition increased the risk of regrowth with an odds ratio of 4.3 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-10.2; p < 0.001); 12-month VRR < 50.0% increased the risk of regrowth with an odds ratio of 11.7 (95% CI 4.2-32.2; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The VRR of thyroid nodules subjected to similar amounts of laser energy varies widely and depends on the nodule composition; non-spongiform nodules are reduced to a lesser extent and regrow more frequently than spongiform nodules. A 12-month VRR < 50.0% is a predictive risk factor for regrowth and correlates with the time to regrowth.

연구배경 : 히스타민은 폐혈관주위의 비만 세포내에 풍부하게 분포하니 아직까지 급성 폐손상의 병리기전에 있어 히스타민의 역할에 대해서는 규명되어 있지 않았다. 히스타민은 IL-1 이나 IL-8과 같은 cytokine 사이에 상호작용이 있고 혈관내피 표면상에 P-selectin의 표현을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 건강한 백서의 기도내로 침윤이 증가되며 히스타민과 TNF를 병용 투여서는 TNF 단독 투여사보다 폐장내 호중구의 침윤이 증폭되고 폐손상의 정도가 증가 될 것으로 가정하였다. 방법 : 몸무게 270-370gm인 Sprague-Dawley 쥐를 사용하여 정상군은 생리식염수 0.5mL을, 치료군은 체증 1Kg 당 $1.1{\mu}g$, $11{\mu}g$ 및 $55{\mu}g$의 히스타민을 단독 혹은 TNF 500ng과 함께 병용하여 기도로 투여하거나 히스타민 $55{\mu}g$과 IL-1 50ng을 병용투여 한 뒤 5시간 뒤 에 폐조직 내 myeloperoxidase(MPO) 활성도와 폐포액내 호중구 수 및 쥐의 IL-8으로 고려되는 cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant(CINC)의 활성도 그리고 폐혈관내 알부민의 폐조직내로의 누출을 측정하였다. 또한 TNF와 히스타민을 병용투여한 뒤 TNF와 히스타민 병용치료군에 항히스타민제를 경정맥내로 주입한 뒤 동일한 방법으로 각 지표들을 측정하여, 관찰된 상승효과가 차단되는지를 보았다. 곁과 1) TNF치료군은 정상군에 비하여 폐장내 MPO 활성도, 기관폐포액내 홍중구수 및 폐혈관의 누출이 더 높게 나타났으며(각 p<0.001), 히스타면 투여군은 11 및 $55{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군에서 정상군에 비해 MPO 활성도만이 높게 나타났다(p<0.05) 2) 폐장내 MPO 활성도는 기도내로 TNF와 병용투여한 히스타민 $1.1{\mu}g$군, $11{\mu}g$군 및 $55{\mu}g$ 군 모두에서 정상군에 비해 증가되어 나타났으며(각 p<0.001) 히스타민 $11{\mu}g/kg$ 병합투여군에서는 TNF 단독치료군에 비해서도 높게 나타났다(p=0.0251). 기관폐포액내 호중구의 수는 히스타민 1.1, 11 및 $55{\mu}g/kg$군 모두에서 정상군(p<0.05)에 비해 증가되어 나타났으며 $1.1{\mu}g/kg$군은 TNF 단독치료군에 비해서도 높았다(p=0.0367). 급성 폐혈관 히스타민 $1.1{\mu}g$군, $11{\mu}g$군 $55{\mu}g$군에서 정상군에 비해 증가되었으나(p<0.001), TNF 치료군과는 차이가 없었다. 3) TNF와 히 스타민 1.1, 11 및 $55{\mu}g/kg$이 병용투여된 군 모두에서 정상군에 비해 폐포 세척액내 CINC 활성도가 유의하게 증가되었다(각각 p-값<0.01 및< 0.05) 4) $H_1$ 수용체차단제인 mepyramine과 $H_2$ 수용체차단제인 ranitidine 세척액내 증폭되었던 호중구 수 및 CINC의 활성도를 감소시켰다(각각 p-값>0.05) 5) IL-1과 병용 투여한 히스타민은 정상군에 비해 MPO 활성도 및 급성 폐혈관 누출이 증가되었으나(p<0.05), IL-1 치료군과는 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 본연구의 결과로서 백서의 기도내로 국소적으로 히스타민을 투여시 5시간 이내에 폐조직내 호중구의 침윤이 증가되고 TNF로 유도된 폐조직내 MPO 활성도 및 기관폐포액 내 호중구 수의 증가가 증폭되나 폐혈관내 알부민의 폐장내 누출의 증폭작용이 없고 IL-1으로 유도된 폐손상에도 급성 폐손상의 증폭작용이 관찰되지 않으므로 TNF나 IL-1으로 유도되는 급성 폐손상에 히스타민 병용 투여에 의한 폐손상의 증폭작용은 없을 것으로 사료되었다.

상온과 액체질소온도에서 압축시험을 통하여 $LI_{2}$단상함금 및 $LI_{2}$상에 제 2상을 수 %또는 20%정도 포함하는 합금조성을 선택하였다. 일반적으로 제 2상을 20%정도 포함하는 2상합금들은 $Ll_{2}$단상합금에 비해 항복강도는 높으나 연성은 좋지 않았다. 그러나 $Cr_{2}AI$을 제 2상으로하는 20%정도 포함하는 Al-21Ti-23Cr합금은 다른 합금들에 비해 비교적 높은 항복강도와 함계 우수한 연성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Li_{2}$단상합금 및 $Cr_{2}Al$을 수% 포함하는 2상합금에 대한 소성거동도 조사하였다. 균질화처리 후에 제 2상의 양은 줄었으나 pore의 양은 증가하였다. 균질화처리 후에 $Ll_{2}$단상조직에서 나타나는 pore의 양은 Cr의양이 증가할수록 줄어들었으며, Cr 의 양이 더욱 증가하여 $Cr_{2}$Al이 제2상으로 생성될 때는 pore가 완전히 소멸하였다. 변형속도를 $1.2 \times 10^{-4}/s$와 $1.2 \times 10^{-2}/s$의 두가지 조건으로 변화시키면서 압축시험을 행하여 합금의 연성에 미치는 환경취성의 영향을 조사하였다. $LI_{2}$단상합금인 AI-25Ti-10Cr합금이 환경취성의 영향을 가장 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 pore의 생성, 환경취성, ingot 주조조직 등을 종합평가해 보면 $Cu_{2}Al$을 제 2상으로 20%정도 포함하는 Ak-21Ti-23Cr합금이 가장 우수한 인장연싱율을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다.

본 시험은 수도 신품종 밀양 21호와 23호를 공시하여 벼멸구, 애멸구, 흰등멸구, 끝동매미충 및 번개매미충에 대한 저항성을 검토하기 위하여 실시하였다. 주로 품종저항성기작으로 여겨지는 멸구$\cdot$매미충에 대한 유균의 반응, 공시품종에 대한 멸구$\cdot$매미충의 식이선호성, 산란선호성 및 항충성을 실내에서 검토하였다. (1) 유충의 반응에 있어서 밀양 21호와 23호는 끝동매미충에 대하여 중간성(M), 밀량 23호는 애멸구에 대하여 중도저항성(MR)으로 나타났으나 그밖에 멸구$\cdot$매미충에 대해서는 중도감수성(MS) 내지 감수성(5) 반응을 보였 다. (2) 끝동매미충은 감수성 대조품종 유신, T(N)-1에 비하여 밀유 21호와 23호에서 비교적 낮은 식이선호성을 보였으나 벼멸구, 애멸구, 흰등멸구 및 번개매미충은 감수성 대조품종과 비교하여 밀탕 21호와 23호에서 같거나 높은 식이선호성을 보였다. 밀양 21호와 23호는 저항성 대조품종들에 비하여 모두 멸구$\cdot$매미충의 식이선호성이 높았다. (3) 벼멸구와 애멸구는 저항성대조품종 Mudgo, ASD-7에서 산란선호성이 높았고 밀양 21호와 23호에서 현저히 낮았으며 흰등멸구에서는 저항성 대조품종과 공시품종사이에 거의 같은 산란선호성을 보였다. 그러나 끝동매미충과 번개매미충의 경우는 반대로 저항성 대조품종들of 비하여 밀양 21호와 23호에서 현저히 높은 산난선호성을 보였다. (4) 밀량 23호에 대한 끝동매미충의 약충기간은 저항성 대조품종과 대등하였으나 밀양 21호와 23호에 대한 다른 멸구$\cdot$매미충의 약충기간은 저항성 대조품종들에 비하여 현저히 짧으며 감수성 대조품종과 같았다. (5) 저항성 대조품종에서 멸구$\cdot$매미충의 우화율이 심히 낮았으나 공시품종 및 감수성 대조품종에서는 비교적 우화율이 높았다. 감수성 대조품종에 비하여 공시품종에서 비교적 우화율이 낮은 害펄은 밀탕 21호 와 23호에 대한 애멸구, 끝동매미충 및 번개매미충이었다. (6) 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 밀양 21호와 23호는 멸구$\cdot$매미충에 대한 진성저항성을 결하고 있는 것으로 보아진다. 다만 두 신품종은 끝동매미충에 대하여 비교적 저항성이 높은 것이 아닌가 보며 애멸구에 대한 것은 저항성이라기 보다는 벼의 내성이 있는 것으로 보아진다.

Post - operative wound infections have been a serious problem in nursing care in the operating room and appear to be strongly related to the infection occurring during the performance of operation. The purpose of this study is to identify patterns in duration of surgical hand scrub (SHS), to evaluate the method of SHS and to examine the rate of glove perforation. Subjects for this study include 244 doctors and 169 nurses working in the operative theatre of a hospital in Seoul area. Test samples and related data were collected from this medical facility between April 1, through 15, and July 1, through 5, 1995 by the author and a staff member working in the operating room. For the study, data on the SHS of doctors and nurses were obtained at the time of operation and multiple batches of surgical gloves worn by the operating doctors were collected after each operation. The duration of SHS was measured with a stop watch and the method of SHS was evaluated according to Scoring Hand Scrub Criteria (SHS Criteria) and expressed as SHS scores. For the analysis of the data, t-test was used to compare the differences in the duration and the SHS scores of doctors and nurses, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between the SHS duration and the SHS scores. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1) The mean time spent in each SHS was 167 seconds in nurses, and 127 seconds in doctors. The data comparing nurses and doctors indicated that there were significant differences in Our ation of SH S between these two groups (t=5.58, p=.000). 2) The mean time spent in the first SHS was 145 seconds and that in the End SHS, 135 seconds, and there was not a significant difference in the duration of the SHS between doctors and nurses (t=1.44, P=.156). 3) The mean time spent in the SHS by OS (Orthopaedic surgery) doctors was 162 seconds, 150 seconds by NS(Neurologic surgery), 121 seconds by GS(General surgery), 94 seconds by OPH(Opthalmology) and DS(Dental surgery), 82 seconds by URO(Urology), 78 seconds by PS(Plastic surgery) and 40 seconds by ENT(Ear, Nose & Throat) These also showed a significant difference in the duration of the SHS among the medical specialities (t=4.8, P=.0001). 4) The average SHS score of the nurses was 15.2, while that of doctors was 13.1. The statistical analysis showed that t-value was 3.66, p was. 000. This indicates that the nurses actually clean their hands more thoroughly than the doctors do. 5) The average SHS score of NS doctors was 15.5, 15.3 for doctors for OPH,14.3 for OS,12.7 for GS, 12.0 for DS, 11.7 for URO, 10.1 for PS, 7.5 for ENT. Comparison of the average SHS scores from 8 specialties showed that there was a significant differences in the patterns of the SHS (F=5.08, P=.000) among medical specialties. 6) It appears that the operating personnel scrub the palms and dorsum of their hand relatively well, however, less thorough the nails and fingers. 7) The more the operating personnel spend their time in hand scrubbing, the more correctly they clean their hands(r=.6427, P<.001). 8) The overall frequencies of perforation in all post-operative gloves tested was 38 out of 389 gloves (10.3%). The perforation rate for PS was 13%, 12.1% for GS,8.8% for 05, and 3.3% for NS.
