This article is the reserch on actual condition of crime of arson which occurs in Korea and its countermeasures. The the presented problem in this article are that (1) we have generally very low rate concern about the crime of arson contrary to realistic problems of rapid increase of crime of arson (2) as such criminal motives became so diverse as to the economic or criminal purpose unlike characteristic and mental deficiency of old days, and to countermeasure these problems effectively it presentation the necessity of systemantic research. Based on analysis of reality of arson, the tendency of this arson in Korea in the ratio of increase is said to be higher than those in violence crime or general fire rate. and further its rate is far more greater than those of the U.S.A. and Japan. Arson is considered to be a method of using fire as crime and in case of presently residence to be the abject, it is a public offense crime which aqccompany fatality in human life. This is the well It now fact to all of us. And further in order to presentation to the crime of arson, strictness of criminal law (criminal law No, 164 and 169, and fire protection law No. 110 and 111) and classification of arsonist as felony are institutionary reinforced to punish with certainty of possibility, Therefore, as tendency of arson has been increased compared to other nations, it is necessary to supplement strategical policy to bring out overall concerns of the seriousness of risk and damage of arson, which have been resulted from the lack of understanding. In characteristics analysis of crime of arson, (1) It is now reveald that, in the past such crime rate appeared far more within the boundary of town or city areas in the past, presently increased rate of arsons in rural areas are far more than in the town or small city areas, thereby showing characteristics of crime of arson extending nation wide. (2) general timetable of arson shows that night more than day time rate, and reveald that is trait behavior in secrecy.(3) arsonists are usually arrested at site or by victim or report of third person(82,9%).Investigation activities or self surrenders rate only 11.2%. The time span of arrest is normally the same day of arson and at times it takes more than one year to arrest. This reveals its necessity to prepare for long period of time for arrest, (4) age rate of arson is in their thirties mostly as compared to homicide, robbery and adultery, and considerable numbers of arsons are in old age of over fifties. It reveals age rate is increased (5) Over half of the arsonists are below the junior high school (6) the rate of convicts by thier records is based on first offenders primarily and secondly more than 4 time convicts. This apparently shows necessity of effective correctional education policy for their social assimilation together with re-investigation of human education at the primary and secondary education system in thier life. The examples of motivation for arosnits, such as personal animosity, fury, monetary swindle, luscious purpose and other aims of destroying of proof, and other social resistance, violence including ways of threatening, beside the motives of individual defects, are diverse and arsonic suicide and specifically suicidal accompany together keenly manifested. When we take this fact with the criminal theory, it really reveals arsons of crime are increasing and its casualities are serious and a point as a way of suicide is the anomie theory of Durkheim and comensurate with the theory of that of Merton, Specifically in the arson of industrial complex, it is revealed that one with revolutionary motive or revolting motive would do the arsonic act. For the policy of prevention of arsons, professional research work in organizational cooperation for preventive activities is conducted in municipal or city wise functions in the name of Parson Taskforces and beside a variety of research institutes in federal government have been operating effectively to countermeasure in many fields of research. Franch and Sweden beside the U.S. set up a overall operation of fire prevention research funtions and have obtained very successful result. Japan also put their research likewise for countermeasure. In this research as a way of preventive fire policy, first, it is necessary to accomodate the legal preventitive activities for fire prevention in judicial side and as an administrative side, (1) precise statistic management of crime of arson (2) establishment of professional research functions or a corporate (3) improvement of system for cooperative structural team for investigation of fires and menpower organization of professional members. Secondly, social mentality in individual prospect, recognition of fires by arson and youth education of such effect, educational program for development and practical promotion. Thirdly, in view of environmental side, the ways of actual performance by programming with the establishment of cooperative advancement in local social function elements with administrative office, habitants, school facilities and newspapers measures (2) establishment of personal protection where weak menpowers are displayed in special fire prevention measures. These measures are presented for prevention of crime of arson. The control of crime and prevention shall be prepared as a means of self defence by the principle of self responsibility Specifically arsonists usually aims at the comparatively weak control of fire prevention is prevalent and it is therefore necessary to prepare individual facilities with their spontaneous management of fire prevention instead of public municipal funtures of local geverment. As Clifford L. Karchmer asserted instead of concerns about who would commit arson, what portion of area would be the target of the arson. It is effective to minister spontaveously the fire prevention measure in his facility with the consideration of characteristics of arson. On the other hand, it is necessary for the concerned personnel of local goverment and groups to distribute to the local society in timely manner for new information about the fire prevention, thus contribute to effective result of fire prevention result. In consideration of these factors, it is inevitable to never let coincide with the phemonemon of arsons in similar or mimic features as recognized that these could prevail just an epedemic as a strong imitational attitude. In processing of policy to encounter these problems, it is necessary to place priority of city policy to enhancement of overall concerns toward the definitive essense of crime of arson.

배경: 심장박동 상태에서 시행하는 관상동맥우회술(Off pump coronary artery bypass grafting, OPCAB) 은 심폐체외순환 하에서 시행하는 관상동맥우회술(On pump coronary artery bypass grafting, On pump CABG)에 비해 합병증이 다소 적은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 좌심실 기능이 저하된 환자들에서 OPCAB과 On pump CABG의 단기 및 중기 성적을 평가하여 OPCAB의 유용성을 확인하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2005년 2월까지 동반수술을 시행 받지 않고 관상동맥우회술만을 시행 받은 946명 중 좌심실 박출계수가 $35\%$ 이하인 100명을 대상으로 하였다(OPCAB군 : On pump CABG군 =68명: 32명). 평균 연령은 두 군이 OPCAB군과 On pump CABG군이 각각 62.9$\pm$9.0세와 63.8 $\pm$ 8.0로 두 군의 차이가 없었다. 두 군의 수술 전 위험요인을 분석하고, 수술 결과 및 추적결과를 평가 및 비교하였다. 결과: OPCAB군은 평균 2.75$\pm$0.72개, On pump CABG군은 2.78$\pm$0.55개의 도관을 획득하여, 각각 3.00$\pm$0.79개, 3.16$\pm$0.72개의 원위문합을 시행하였다. 수술 후 사망은 OPCAB군에서만 1명 ($1.5\%$) 발생하였으나 두 군간의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 수술시간, 수술 후 1일째 CK-MB, 수술 후 기계 환기 시간, 중환자실 체류기간, 합병증 발생률이 통계적으로 유의하게 OPCAB군에서 더 낮았다. 평균 추적 기간은 26.6$\pm$12.8개월(4${\~}$54개월)이었으며, 추적 기간 중 좌심실 박출계수는 OPCAB군과 On pump CABG군이 각각 $27.1\pm4.5\%$와 $26.9\pm5.4\%$에서 $40.7\pm13.0\%$와 $33.3\pm13.7\%$로 통계적으로 유의하게 각각 증가하였다. 4년 생존율은 OPCAB군과 On pump CABG군이 각각 $92.2\%,\;88.3\%$, 심장관련 사망에 있어서 4년 freedom rate은 각각 $97.7\%,\;96.4\%$로 두 군간의 차이는 없었으며, 심장관련 합병증과 협심증 발생의 freedom rate도 두 군간의 차이는 없었다. 결론: 좌심실 기능이 저하된 환자들에서 심장박동 상태에서 시행하는 관상동맥우회술은 심장기능을 향상시키고 On pump CABG군에 비해 우수한 수술결과를 보였다. 특히 On pump CABG군에 비해 우수한 단기 성적을 보였으나 중기성적은 차이가 없었다. 따라서 좌심실 기능이 저하된 환자들에 있어서 심장박동 상태에서 시행하는 관상동맥우회술은 안전하고 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 수술방법이라고 생각한다.

배경: 출혈성 쇼크는 허혈 시 발생하는 산소산화물 등에 의해 체내에 여러 가지 염증반응을 일으킴으로써 각 장기의 기능부전을 초래한다. 특히 폐장은 허혈 시 조기에 폐포 세포의 투과성이 증가하여 부종, 염증세포의 침윤 및 출혈 등이 일어나 호흡부전증을 초래한다. 또한 출혈성 쇼크 시 기본적으로 시행하는 수액 요법은 간질의 부종을 일으켜 폐장의 기능을 감소시킬 수 있는 위험 요소이다. 따라서 출혈성 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 폐장의 염증 반응을 줄이고 폐부종을 최소화시키는 노력이 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: $300{\sim}350$ gm 정도의 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 경정맥을 통해 약 3 mL/100 g의 혈액을 제거하여 평균 경동맥압 $35{\sim}40$ mmHg의 출혈성 쇼크 상태(I단계, 60분)를 유도하고 유지한 후, 제거한 혈액을 재주입하고 수액요법을 실시하여 평균 경동맥압을 80 mmHg로 유지하는 소생 상태(II 단계, 60분)를 시행한 후 약 3시간 정도 경과를 관찰(III 단계)하였다. 실험동물은 3군으로 나누어 실험하였으며 I군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II 단계에서 린저액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. II 군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II단계에서 린저액을 이용한 수액요법을 실시하였다. III군은 I단계 시 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 체온을 유지하였고 II 단계에서 5% 알부민액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. 각 군 모두 실험 전, I, II, III 단계 후반에 혈류역학적 인자(심박수, 평균 경동맥압), 동맥혈 가스 분석, 혈청내 포도당과 LDH, I, II단계의 투여 수액양, 기관지-폐포 세척액의 Interleukin(IL)-8을 측정하였고, 조직검사를 통해 염증반응의 정도를 조직학적 점수로 평가하였다. 결과: I군의 4예를 제외한 26예가 III단계까지 생존하였다. 각 군 간의 평균 경동맥압의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 실험 1단계에서의 채혈량은 I군은 $3.2{\pm}0.5$ mL/100 g으로 II, III 군의 $3.9{\pm}0.8$ mL/100 g, $4.1{\pm}0.7$ mL/100 g에 비해 각각 유의하게 적었다(p< 0.05). II 단계에서의 투여 수액량은 I 군 $28.6{\pm}6.0$ mL, II 군 $20.6{\pm}4.0$ mL, III 군 $14.7{\pm}2.7$ mL로 각 군 간에 통계적인 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05). 혈청내 칼륨 농도는 I군에서 II군에 비해 소생술 후 의의 있게 높았으며(p<0.05), 포도당 농도는 II단계의 I군에서 타군과 비교하여 현저히 낮았다(p<0.05). IL-8은 I 군 $1,834{\pm}437$ pg/mL, II 군 $1,006{\pm}532$ pg/mL, III군 $764{\pm}302$ pg/mL로 I 군에서 II 및 III군과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 폐조직의 조직검사를 통해 평가한 염증세포 분포 점수에서 III 군이 $1.6{\pm}0.6$으로 I 군 $2.8{\pm}1.2$에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론: 압력 조절형 출혈성 쇼크 모델에서 시행한 저체온법은 정상체온을 유지하고 있는 군에 비해 쇼크 상태에서의 기초대사량을 줄여줌으로써 허혈에 의한 조직의 직접적인 손상을 억제할 수 있으리라 생각된다. 또한 저체온법은 수액의 사용량을 줄여주고 IL-8등의 싸이토카인 분비를 억제시키며 백혈구의 침윤을 줄여줌으로써 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 회복에 도움을 준다. 그러나 저체온법을 시행한 군에서도 투여하는 수액을 달리함으로써 폐장의 염증변화나 손상이 차이를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 이에 대한 세심한 연구가 있어야 할 것이다.

This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.
