Background: Carbapenem-resistance is rapidly evolving among the pathogenic microbes in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to determine annual trend of carbapenem-resistance in the ICU for 4 years, since the opening of a university-affiliated hospital in South Korea. Methods: From 2005 to 2008, microbial samples from consecutive 6,772 patients were screened in the ICU. Three hundred and ninety-seven patients (5.9%) and their first isolates of carbapenem-resistant pathogens were analyzed. Results: The percentage of patients infected with carbapenem-resistant organisms increased constantly during the initial three years (2.3% in 2005, 6.2% in 2006, 7.8% in 2007), then it declined to 6.5% in 2008. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) III score at admission was $58.0{\pm}23.5$, the median length of the ICU stay was 37 days, and the mortality rate was 37.5%. The sampling sites were endotracheal suction (67%), catheterized urine (17%), wound (6%) and others (10%). Bacteria with carbapenem-resistance were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (247 isolates, 62%), Acinetobacter baumannii (117 isolates, 30%), Enterobacteriaceae (12 isolates, 3%), and others (21, 5%). Of note, peak isolation of carbapenem-resistant microorganisms in medical ICU was followed by the same epidemic at surgical ICU. Conclusion: Taken together, carbapenem-resistant pathogens are of growing concern in the ICU.

배 경 : 최근 들어 다제내성 폐결핵의 증가로 항결핵제 치료로만으로는 만족스러운 균음전율을 보여주지 못하고 있다. 이에 저자들은 수술을 시행한 환자를 분석함으로써 향후 다제내성 폐결핵의 치료의 한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 방 법 : 국립마산병원에서 1994년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 10년간 다제내성 폐결핵으로 페절제술을 시행한 138례를 술전 환자의 특성, 술전 범위, 수술 방법, 합병증, 술후 추적관찰을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환자의 남녀비는 5.1:1으로 남자에서 많았고 평균연령은 42.6세이고 내성약제는 5.3개였다. 술전 객담에서 94례(68.1%)에서 균양성 소견이였고 128례(92.8%)에서 공동성 병소를 보였다. 수술술식은 24례에서 전폐적출술, 83례에서 폐엽절제술, 10례에서 쌍엽절제술, 19례에서 폐엽절제술과 구역절제술, 설상절제술, 2례에서 설상절제술과 공동성형술을 시행하였다. 술 후 균 음성율은 91.3%였다. 균 음전에 실패한 2례는 모두 공동성 병변이였고 균 음전 실패 후 항결핵제 변경과 재수술로 6례에서 균음전되었다. 재발한 10례 중 6례에서 항결핵제 변경과 재수술로 균음전되었다. 이상에서 술후 지속적인 약물 복용과 필요시 항결핵제 변경과 재수술로 높은 장기 균음전율(92.8%)을 보였다. 수술 후 치료 실패 및 재발한 22례는 전체적으로 술전 유병기간이 길었고 술전 치료 횟수 및 술전 내성약제가 많았다. 수술에 관련된 사망자는 없었고 술 후 합병증으로는 1주일 이상 지속되는 공기 유출이 6례, 출혈로 인한 재수술이 6례, 기관지 늑막루와 농흉이 8례, 사강이 16례, 무기폐가 1례, 상처 감염이 1례, 수술 부위에 낭종형성이 1례 등이 나타났다. 결 론 : 다제내성 폐결핵에 대한 수술의 적응증, 수술 후 처방, 수술 후 치료기간 등에 대한 많은 의견이 있지만 수술은 환자의 상태가 가능한 빨리, 가능한 적극적으로 시행하여 내과적인 치료와 병행함으로써 높은 치료 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것임을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new yellow waxy corn hybrid "Daehakchal Gold 1" was developed from single cross between Yeongdeok Jaera and Okchen Jaera at Chungnam National University in 2007. Inbred CNU57 derived from Yeongdeok Jaera was used as the seed parent of Daehakchal Gold 1, and inbred CNU 27 derived from Okchen Jaera as the pollen parent. Tasseling date of this hybrid was seven day later than that of check hybrid, Chalok 1. Daehakchal Gold 1 was 19.7cm in ear length and 4.5cm in ear diameter. The yield of Daehakchal Gold 1 and check hybrid in dry matter were 146.5g and 113.9g per plant, respectively. On yield trial, which were increased 29.7% compared with a check hybrid, Chalok 1. Especially, Daehakchal Gold 1 had yellow kernels and good eating quality. The ratio of kernel set length/ear length was similar to Chalok 1. It is moderately resistant to Bioporalis maydis and corn borer. The yields of Daehakchal Gold 1 in fresh ear weight and in number of fresh ear were 16% and 8%, respectively, higher than those of a check hybrid in regional yield trials for three years. Seed production of this hybrid has gone well due to good match during crossing between seed and pollen parents.

In this paper, It is presented that concrete-filled composite piers have large energy-absorption capacity and high strength and stiffness on account of mutual confinement between the steel plate and filled-in concrete. Concrete-filled composite columns were tested to failure under axial compression and cyclic lateral loading. Displacement ductility index obtained by using the load-displacement relation has been increased with the increment of filled-in concrete length, while it has been decreased according to the incrementation of width-thickness ratio, slenderness ratio and the number of loading cycles. Structural behavior and ductility index estimated for the seismic design showed that composite piers could be used as a very efficient earthquake-resistant structural member. The response modification factor could be re-evaluated for concrete-filled composite piers.

Survival and thermal inactivation after heat treatment at $143^{\circ}F$ were observed among 27 strains of coliform bacteria isolated from dairy cattle. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The obvious differences in heat-sensitivity were observed among the strains tested. 2. No strain was found resistant to the heat treatment of $143^{\circ}F$ for 30 minutes. 3. A marked effect of density of coliform bacteria on the survival after the heat treatment was observed. As the density of coliform bacteria was increased, the rate of survival was increased markedly regardless of the length of heat treatment.

The Pi-b is the rice gene conferring race specific resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea race having a corresponding avirulence gene, AVR-Pi-b. All resistant cultivars have two copies of the Pi-b gene, but susceptible cultivars have a single copy of the gene. About 1 Kbp insertion sequence was detected in the open reading frame of the Pi-b gene from the susceptible cv. Nipponbare. The nature of insertion sequence was identified as a solo long terminal repeat (LTR) of new rice Tyl-copia-like retrotransposon. LTR was widely distributed in the rice genome. Various types of different patterns of restriction fragment length polymorphism of LTR were detected in indica cultivars, whereas a single type was detected from japonica cultivars. The insertion of LTR sequence in the Pi-b gene in the susceptible cultivar suggested that retrotransposon-mediated insertional mutation might played an important role in the resistance breakdown as well as evolution of resistance genes in rice.

As important factors determining human sensorial comfort, liquid moisture management and surface properties of heat resistant workwear materials were examined. To figure out liquid moisture management properties of the test materials, absorption capacity, rate of absorption, and evaporation properties were assessed. A modified GATS(Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System) was used to measure the liquid moisture accumulation associated with the wicking of liquid moisture from sweating skin. The GATS procedure measures demand wettability of materials to take up liquid in a direction perpendicular to the fabric surface and it was modified to incorporate a special test cell and cover to assess absorption behavior in the presence of evaporation. Fabric stiffness, smoothness, number and the length of surface fibers, and an estimate of the contact area between the skin and fabric surface were measured to characterize the mechanical and surface properties of the test materials. Also an estimate of the force with which a fabric clings to moist skin was made using as wet-cling index.

$P^+$형 다결정 실리콘 게이트와 n형 다결정 실리콘 게이트를 갖는 P채널 MOSFET를 제작하였다. 채널의 길이와 채널의 이온 주입 조건에 따라 SC-PMOSFET와 BC-PMOSFET의 transconductance 문턱저압저하 및 subthreshold 특성을 분석하였다. 측정된 소자의 특성으로 부터 SC-PMOSFET소자가 BC-PMOSFET 소자에 비하여 transconductance는 작으며 subthreshold 영역에서 누설전류도 작고 문턱 전압 저하및 DIBL영향이 작게 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

Structural damage during an earthquake is caused by the response of the structure to the ground motion input at its base. The dynamic force produced in the structure are due to the inertia of its vibrating elements. The response of the structure exceeds the ground motion and this dynamic magnification depends on the duration and frequency content of the ground vibration, the soil properties at the site, distance from the epicenter and the dynamic characteristics of the structure. Earthquake load used in this study as a input data was artificially simulated with the design spectrum diagram in the Korean Earthquake Resistant Design Code. This paper presents the seismic analysis of the continuous preflex composite girder bridges according to variation of pier's height and span's length.
