Background: Limited data on the incidence and clinical characteristics of adult pertussis infections are available in Korea. Methods: Thirty-one hospitals and the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaborated to investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of pertussis infections among adults with a bothersome cough in non-outbreak, ordinary outpatient settings. Nasopharyngeal aspirates or nasopharyngeal swabs were collected for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture tests. Results: The study enrolled 934 patients between September 2009 and April 2011. Five patients were diagnosed as confirmed cases, satisfying both clinical and laboratory criteria (five positive PCR and one concurrent positive culture). Among 607 patients with cough duration of at least 2 weeks, 504 satisfied the clinical criteria of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (i.e., probable case). The clinical pertussis cases (i.e., both probable and confirmed cases) had a wide age distribution ($45.7{\pm}15.5$ years) and cough duration (median, 30 days; interquartile range, 18.0~50.0 days). In addition, sputum, rhinorrhea, and myalgia were less common and dyspnea was more common in the clinical cases, compared to the others (p=0.037, p=0.006, p=0.005, and p=0.030, respectively). Conclusion: The positive rate of pertussis infection may be low in non-outbreak, ordinary clinical settings if a PCR-based method is used. However, further prospective, well-designed, multicenter studies are needed.

Medical insurance and health care delivery system enabled Korean people to get the necessary medical service, but it caused increased needs for medical service, and resulted in the occurence of some problems such as a lack of manpower and medical facilities. In order to solve these problems, many countries, which already had medical insurance system had developed home care system and it has been regarded effective both in reducing costs and in increasing the rates of turnover of bed. Recently, Korea has included home nursing care in its health care delivery system, and some models of the hospital based home nursing care had been tried and its effects had been evaluated. So, author tried to run a home nursing care for the Cesarean section mothers and evaluate Its effects both in the mother's health and costs. This study was designed as a Quasi-experimental study. Subjects were thirty mothers who got Cesarean section operation in hospital in Seoul. Experimental group consisted of 15 volunteers, and control group were selected by means of matching technique. Data were gathered from February 1st to March 26th by two assistants who were trained by author. Experimental group were discharged on the 4th day after their operation, and got nursing care and assessment about their home three times on the 5th, 6th, and 7th day. Control group stayed in the hospital until 7th day as usual and were checked on the same day as above mentioned To evaluate the state of physiological recovery, vital signs, H.O.F, presence of edema in the legs, bathing, appetite, sleep, presence of pain or discomfort in the breasts, amount of lochia, color of lochia, defecation urination. To compare incidence of complication in experimental group with that in control group, specific assessment was done such variables as smell of lochia, presence of inflammation of operation wound, dizziness, and presence of immobilization in the extremities. The activities of daily living were checked Satisfaction of nursing were checked To calculate costs, author asked subjects to specify expenditure including hospital charge, traffic enpenses, and food expenses. The results were as fellows. 1. On effectiveness of home nursing careThere were n significant differences between experimental and control group in incidence of abnormal symptoms and any complication. The number of taking a bath [POD #5 P=0.001, #6 P=0.0003, #7 P=0.001] and the degree of appetite [POD #5 P=0.03, #6 P=0.02, #7 P=0.013] were significantly higher in experimental group than in control group. Contrary to author's expectation, the degree of the activities of daily living in experimental group was not higher than that of control group. All of the experimental group said they were satisfied with the home nursing care. 2. Cost analysis 1) Hospital charge of experimental group was lower than that of control group. ［P=0.009］ By taking home nursing care, average period of hospitalization was shortened to 3.1 days, and family members could save 22.8 hours. Total amount of money saved by early discharge was 3,443,093 Won. It is estimated that total amount of money saved by early discharge in a year will be 40,398,956 Won. 2) Home nursing care charge of 15 mothers was 1,781,633 Won. It is estimated that total amount of money Saved by it in a year Will be 20,904,493 Won. It was lower altogether than hospital charge of the three days which is 5th, 6th, 7th day of operation. The average cost of single home visit was calculated 10,940 Won. It took 87 minutes per round and it costed 1,017.3 Won. The average hour of home care was 39.0 minutes. 3) It is expected that early discharge can bring forth the increase of hospital income. On the condition that the rate of running bed is 100%, the expected increase of hospital income will be 202,374, 026 Won in a year. Suggestions for further study and nursing practice are as follows : 1. For the welfare of patients and the increased rates of running bed, home nursing care system should be included in the hospital nursing care system. 2. Studies to test effect of home nursing care on the patients with other diseases are needed. 3. Establishment of law on the practice of home nursing care is strongly recommended.

연구배경 : 폐동맥 색전증은 여러 다양한 상황에서 발생할 수 있으며, 비특이적인 증상과 징후로 인하여 진단이 지연될 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 불행한 결과를 초래할 수 있고, 따라서 조기 진단과 적절한 치료가 필수적인 응급 질환이다. 폐관류주사는 이 질환의 진단에 유용한 검사법이며, 음성 결과는 이 질환을 배재시킬 수 있으나, 관류 결손이 언제나 배제시킬 수 있으나, 관류 결손이 언제나 폐동맥 색전증을 의미하는 것은 아니다. 따라서 폐관뷰주사검사의 해석에 있어 보다 유용한 정보를 얻기 위하여 폐관류주사상 폐동맥 색전증소견을 보이는 환자들에 대한 임상적 고찰의 필요성이 제기되었다. 방 법 : 1996년 1월 1일부터 1997년 7월 31일 사이에 서울대학교병원에 입원하여 임상적으로 폐동맥색전증이 의심되어 시행한 폐관류주사상 폐동맥 색전증의 소견을 보인 49예를 대상으로 그들의 임상기록을 통한 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 입원시 폐동맥 색전종이 의심되었던 환자군에서의 최초 임상 진단은 폐동맥 색전증, 심장 질환, 폐렴의 순이었으며, 입원 중 폐동맥 색전증의 발생이 의심되었던 환자군에서의 기저 질환은 약성 종양, 두강내 출혈, 패혈증, 전신성 홍반성 낭창 등의 순이었다. 유발 인자로는 수술, 악성 종양, 부동화, 결합조직 질환, 심장 질환, 고령(>70세), 임신 및 골반내 질환, 신장 질환 등의 순이었다. HPPE가 40예(26.8%), IPPE가 21예(14.1%), LPPE가 88예 (59.1%) 였고, 이 중 치료를 시행한 경우는 HPPE가 34예(85%), IPPE가 9예(42.9%)였으며, LPPE소견을 보인 환자 중 치료를 시행한 경우는 없었다. 치료로는 heparin과 warfarin을 선택한 경우가 39예(79.7%)로 대부분을 차지하였고, 색전 제거술 2예(4.1%), 혈전 용해제와 IVC filter가 각 1예 (2.0%)씩이었으며, 우강내 출혈(3예), 대량 출혈 (2예), 증상의 소실(1예) 등을 이유로 치료를 시행하지 않은 경우가 6예(12.2%)였다. 추적 관찰은 34예(69.4%)에서 가능하였고, 이 중 재발은 5예(10.2% )에서 발생하였으며, 3예에서는 항응고제의 조기 중단에 의한 것이었고, 2예는 유발 인자의 재발에 의한 것이었다. 조사 대상 중 사망은 16예(32.6%)였으나, 이 중 폐동맥 색전증과 관련된 사망은 1예(2.04%)로 진단 후 혈전 용해제 투여 직전에 사망하였다. 결론 : 폐동맥 색전증 환자의 예후 개선을 위하여 증상 발생부터 진단까지의 소요 기간의 단축, 즉 이 질환에 대한 의심이 필요하리라 사료된다.

목 적 : A군 사슬알균에 의한 인두염의 진단에 있어 미국의 감염 관련 학회에서는 도말 검사나 신속 검사 후 확진이 되면 항생제 사용하는 것을 추천한다. 국내에서는 아직 인두염시 항생제 사용에 대한 기준이 확립되지 않았다. 본 연구는 국내 인두염 환자에서 신속 검사와 인후 배양 검사를 시행하고 치료한 군과 검사 없이 경험적으로 치료한 군을 비교하여 신속 검사의 유용성과 이를 통한 항생제 사용의 타당성을 연구하기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법 : 경희의료원과 한일병원 외에 6개의 개인의원이 참여하였다. 총 369명의 환자들이 참여하였으며, 이들을 연구자 임의로 신속 검사와 인후 배양 검사 시행하고 치료를 한 군(신속 검사군)과 신속 검사나 인후 배양 검사 없이 연구자의 임상적 경험적으로 치료한 군(경험적 치료군)으로 나누어 연구를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 신속 검사군은 244명이었으며 경험적 치료군은 125명이었다. 신속 검사군 중 신속 검사 양성 환자는 71명, 신속 검사 음성 환자 173명이었으며, 인후 배양 검사 양성 환자는 49명, 인후 배양 검사 음성환자는 195명이었다. 인후 배양 검사를 기준으로 한 A군 사슬알균의 유병률은 20.1%였다. 신속 검사의 민감도는 89.8%, 특이도 86.1%, 양성 예측도 62.0%, 음성 예측도 97.1%였으며 위양성률 38.0%, 위음성률 13.9%였다. 신속 검사군과 경험적 치료군의 항생제 사용은 76%, 71%로 두 군 다 높게 나타났다. 이들을 적절하게 신속 검사 상 결과에 따라 항생제를 사용하였으면 항생제 사용을 37% 정도 줄일 수 있으며 신속 검사의 가격을 책정 가격의 63% 정도로 줄이면 신속 검사 시행 후 항생제 사용과 경험적 항생제 사용의 가격 차이는 없어진다. 결 론 : A군 사슬알균 인두염시 경험적 항생제 치료 보다 진단에 따른 치료가 필요하며 신속 검사의 가격을 책정가격의 63%로 줄이면 경험적 치료에 비해 증거에 입각한 진단을 내릴 수 있고 항생제 사용을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 정확한 비용 효과의 평가를 위해 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

To investigate the status of medical accident attack rate and medicare utilization during last 27months from 1st Oct., 1977 to 31st Dec. 1979 in the area under Sam Wha Medicare Insurance Union, the study was carried out through analyzing the medicare records of patients who were enrolled. "The medical accident" in this study was used as the meaning of the state that the people who have been treated morbid condition with insurance money. For the study, 2 doctors and one nurse were mobilized and the results are as follows: 1) The total number of the Medicare Insurance Union members among the 37,044 total population of the study area, (Hea-mi, Unsan, Eumam Myun) were 57, 35 composed of 3,000 males (52.3%) and 27, 35 females (47.7%) in 1977, 3,383 composed of 2,006 males (59.3%) 1,377 females (40.7%) in 1978, 2,573 composed of 1,437 males and 1,336 females (44.2%) in 1979. 2) Total number of medical accident attack cases were 6,774 case (partially overlapped the number of the 1977 with that of the 1978) and average annual medical accident attack rate per 1,000 population was 700.9. 3) Five major disease group in the past three years were disease of the respiratory system (177.7), disease of the digestive system (165.8), disease of the skin and subcutaneous(64.9), symptoms, signs and ill-defined conditions (64.6), any injury and poisoning (51.9). Mental disorders (32.6) was the 6th order disease group. 4) The order of the medical accident attack rate of age group per 1,000 population per year was the year group of 0~4(877.8), 45~64(832.6), 25~44(810.3), 5~14(495.1) 15~24(494.7) 65 and over (460.7). 5) Medical accident attack rate of age group per 1,000 population in the 5 major disease groups were the year group of 45~64 (100.0) in the mental disorders 0~4(525.1) in the disease of the respiratory system 45~64 (328.5) in the disease of the digestive system 0~4 (202.8) in the disease of the skin and subcutanous tissue, 25~44 (98.3) in the accidents and poisoning. 6) Monthly medical accidents attack rate were 87.0 in the winter (Dsc., Jan., Feb.) and 86.2 in the summer (Jun., July, Aug.). So the trend of the medical accidents attack rate during the year was bimount figure. 7) Monthly medical accidents attack rate in the major disease group were highest in Jan., Apr., (31.1) in the disease of the respiratory system, in Jan., Feb., Mar. (24.9) in the disease of the digestive system, in Jan., Jun., Aug. (9.8) in the injury and poisoning. 8) Duration of the treatment of the 93.1% of the total cases were within 5 days. 9) 299 cases (4.5%) of the total number of cases, 6,587 cases were referred to secondary and tertiary medicare facilities. 10) The order of the major 10 kinds of diagnosis of the disease, 6,587 cases during 27 months, were URI and chillness (1,063 cases, 16.1%), gastritis(830 cases, 12. 6%) dermatitis(360 cases, 5.5%), bronchitis(291 cases, 4.4%), neurosis (284 cases, 4.3%), contusion (165 cases, 2.5%), tooth extraction (157 cases, 2.4%), tonsillitis (109 cases, 0.7%), laceration (107 cases, 1.6%), neuralgia (105 cases, 1.6%), arthritis (104 cases, 1.6%), otitis media and mastoiditis (103 cases, 1.6%), so total case were 3,678 cases (55.9%).

연구배경: 결핵성 흉막염과 악성 흉수는 임상증상, 징후와 흉수내 백혈구 세포조성, 생화학적 검사로 감별하기 어렵고 미생물학적 검사와 세포진 또는 조직검사에 의해서도 확실히 진단하기 어렵다. 이런 문제 때문에 최근들어 결핵성 흉막염을 interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-$\gamma$(IFN-$\gamma$), tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(TNF-$\alpha$) 같은 면역 매개물질들을 이용하여 진단하려는 시도들이 있어 왔다. 결핵균에 대한 면역반응으로 주로 $Th_1$ 세포에 의해 분비되는 IFN-$\gamma$는 결핵성 흉막염에서 제 1형 반응이 거의 일어나지 않는 악성 흉수 보다 휠씬 높게 측정되므로 흉수내 IFN-$\gamma$ 수치의 차를 이용하여 두 질환을 감별할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 흉수 IFN-$\gamma$의 진단적 가치를 ADA, CEA와 비교하여 보고 한국인에서의 민감도와 특이도를 알아보았다. 방 법: 결핵성 흉막염 40예, 악성 흉수 42예를 대상으로 흉수의 세포 조성, 생화학 검사와 IFN-$\gamma$, ADA, CEA 수치를 측정하였다. 결 과: 흉수내 IFN-$\gamma$와 ADA는 결핵성 흉막염에서 악성 흉수 보다 유의하게 높았고, CEA는 악성 흉수에서 결핵성 흉막염보다 유의하게 높았다. 결핵성 흉막염에서 IFN-$\gamma$는 민감도 0.97, 특이도 1.0을 나타내었고 ADA는 만감도 0.87, 특이도 0.97을 나타내었다. 악성 흉수에서 CEA는 민감도 0.67, 특이도 1.0을 나타내었다. ADA 활성도와 IFN-$\gamma$ 수치 사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 결 론: IFN-$\gamma$는 결핵성 흉막염과 악성 흉수 감별에 매우 예민하고 특이적인 양상을 보이기 때문에 경제적인 검사는 아니나 결핵성 흉막염의 진단에 유용한 검사방법으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

Home Health Care is one part of the total health care system. It includes health care services that link the hospital to the community. While it is important for early discharge patients, home care is also important for people with chronic illnesses or handicapping conditions. In 1989 the Korean government passed a law that opened the way for formal development of home health care services beginning with education programs to certify nurses for home care, and then demonstration home care services. Part of the mandate of the demonstration projects was evaluation of home care services. This study was done in order to provide basic data that would contribute to the development of records that could be used for evaluation through a retrospective audit and to examine the care that had been given in Home Care at Wonju Christian Hospital over a twenty year period from 1974 to 1994. The purposes of the study were : to identify to characteristics of the clients who had received home care, to identify the reasons for client referrals, to identify the nursing problems of these clients, to identify the nursing care provided to these clients, and to identify differences in these areas over the twenty year period. The study was a descriptive study involving a retrospective audit of the client records. Demographic data on all clients were included : 4,171 clients from 2,564 families. Data on referrals, nursing diagnosis and nursing interventions were from even numbered records which had a patient problem list included in the record, 2,801 clients, Frequencies and ANOVA were used in the analysis. The results of the study showed that the majority of the clients were from Wonju city /county. There were more women than men related to the high number of postpartum clients(1,300). The high number of postparttum clients and newborns was also evident in the age distribution. An the number of maternal-child clients decreased over the 20 years, the mean age of the clients increased significantly. Other factors also contributed to this change ; as increasing number of clients with brain injuries or with cancer, and fewer children with burns, osteomyelitis and tuberculosis. There was a decrease in the mean number of visits and mean length of coverage, reflecting a movement towards a short term acute care model. The number of new clents dropped sharply after 1985. The reasons for this are : the development of other treatment alternatives for clients, the establishment of an active wellbaby clinic, many more options plus a decreasing number of new cases of Hansen's Disase, and insurance that allows people with burns to be kept in hospital until skin grafts are healed. Socioeconomic changes have resulted in an increase in the number of cases of cancer, stroke, head injuries following car accidents, and of diabetes. Of the 2,801 client records, 2,541(60.9%) contained a written referral but for 1,802 it contained only the medical diagnosis. The number of records with a referral requesting specific nursing care was 739(29.1%). Many family members who were identified as in need of nursing care had no written referral. Analysis of the patient problem list showed that 41.9% of the enteries were nursing diagnoses. Others incuded medical diagnosis, symptoms, and plans. The most frequently used diagnoses were alteration in nutrition, less than body requirements(115 entries), alteration in skin integrity(114), knowledge deficit(111), pain(78), self-care deficit(66), and alteration in pattern of urinary elimination(50). These are reflected in the NANDA categories for which the highest number of diagnosis was in the Exchanging pattern(446), followed by Moving(178), Feeling(136) and Knowing (115). Analysis of the frequency of interventions showed that exercise and teaching about exercise was the most frequent intervention, followed by teaching concering the need for follow-up care, checking vital signs, managing nutritional problems, managing catheters, giving emotional support, changing dressings, teaching about medication, teaching (subject not specified), teaching about diet, IM and IV medications or fluid, and skin care, in that order. Recommendations included: development of a record that would allow for efficient recording of frequently used nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions: expansion of the catchment area for Home Care at Wonju Christian Hospital ; expansion of the service to provide complication prevention, rehabilitation services, and support to increase the health maintenance /health promotion of the people being served as well as providing client dentered care ; and development of a clinical record that will allow efficient data collection from records, even though the recording is done by a variety of health care providers.

The major goals of periodontal therapy are the functional regeneration of periodontal supporting structures already destructed by periodontal disease as well as the reduction of signs and symptoms of progressive periodontal disease. There have been many efforts to develop materials and therapeutic methods to promote periodontal wound healing. There have been increasing interest on the chitosan made by chtin. Chitosan is a derivative of chitin made by deacetylation of side chains. Chitosan has been widely studied as bone substitution and membrane material in periodontology. Many experiments using chitosan in various animal models have proven its beneficial effects. Tetracycline has been considered for use in the treatment of chronic periodontal disease and gingivitis. The aim of this study is to evlauate the osteogenesis of tetracycline blended chitosan membranes on the calvarial critical size defect in Sprague Dawley rats. An 8mm surgical defect was produced with a trephine bur in the area of the midsagittal suture. The rats were divided into five groups: Untreated control group versus four experimental group. Four types of membranes were made and comparative study was been done. Two types of non-woven membranes were made by immersing non-woven chitosan into either the tetracycline solution or chitosan-tetracycline solution. Other two types of sponge membranes were fabricated by immersing chitosan sponge into the tetracycline solution, and subsequent freeze-drying. The animals were sacrificed at 2 and 8 weeks after surgical procedure. The specimens were examined by histologic analyses. The results are as follows: 1. Clinically the use of tetracycline blended chitosan membrane showed great healing capacity. 2. The new bone formations of all the experimental group, non-woven and sponge type membranes were greater than those of control group. But, there was no significant difference between the experimental groups. 3. Resorption of chitosan membranes were not shown in any groups at 2 weeks and 8 weeks. These results suggest that the use of tetracycline blended chitosan membrane on the calvarial defects in rats has significant effect on the regeneration of bone tissue in itself. And it implicate that tetracycline blended chitosan membrane might be useful for guided tissue regeneration.
