갑각류 중금속 기준은 납과 카드뮴의 경우 각각 0.5 mg/kg과 1.0 mg/kg 이하이다. 비소, 수은, 메틸수은 및 주석은 현재 노출 수준을 고려하여 지속적인 오염도를 조사하고 있다. 이를 기반으로 정부에서는 노출 점유율, 검출률, 오염도가 높은 다소비 식품 목록을 공유하여 수입·유통검사에 활용하고 있다. 새우류는 연안의 유기물질이 많이 포함된 모래나 진흙질, 해조가 많은 곳, 하구 등에 서식하기 때문에 잠재적으로 중금속에 노출될 가능성이 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 새우류 중 특정 중금속의 기준치를 초과하는 품목 그리고 기준치가 없는 경우 검출치 최상위 품목을 판매에서 제외하는 경우 소비자 불안 감소 및 안심도 제고의 화폐적 가치를 측정하였다. 가상가치평가법을 이용하여 소비자 지불의사를 도출하였는데, 질문방식은 개방형직접질문과 지불카드방식을 이용하였다. 도출된 지불의사를 국내 가구 수에 접목하여 총효용을 추정한 결과, 363.9억 원으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 수산물 중금속에 대한 특정 정책이 소비자의 불안감 감소와 심리적인 안심감을 어느 정도 제고시켜주는지에 대한 실증분석 결과를 제공한다. 이는 식품 안전성이 높아지고 중금속으로 인한 질병에 걸릴 확률이 감소하는 것에 대해서 소비자가 느끼는 가치를 제시해준다.

To clarify the clinical utility of the calvarial bone graft in the maxillofacial reconstruction, we performed on anatomical study by measuring the regional thickness of the parietal bone on 17 Korean adult dry skulls. Before the sectioning the calvarium, the anatomical landmarks were marked on each specimens. And then we measured the total thickness of the parietal bone, the thickness of the outer and inner cortical plates on various points in each sections of parietal bones using a digital caliper under the stereomicroscope. The total thickness of the parietal bone was ranged from 5.17mm to 7.50mm, and there were no statistical difference in the total thickness of the parietal bone on the same points bilaterally. But there was a tendency that the thickness of the parietal bone was thicker toward to the lambda point than the coronal suture area. At the other hand, the thickness of the outer and inner plate of the parietal bone was the thickest at the first point of the right aspect on the line 1, the first point of the left aspect on the line 5, respectively. In conclusion, this study showed that the donor site of the parietal bone for the maxillofacial reconstruction should be located at more posterior and medial area of the parietal bone than the prevalent known donor site.

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS)는 일반적으로 널리 사용하는 X선 회절분광기로 분석하기 힘든 chemical 또는 biological system의 structural analyses에 매우 유용한 분석방법이다. 특히 세라믹이나 유전체 비정질 재료의 미세 원자 구조에 관한 정보를 얻는데는 가장 강력한 분석방법중의 하나로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 대부분의 EXAFS 실험은 방사광 가속기를 이용하여 수행하였다. 그런데 신제품 개발의 순환주기가 급속하게 단축되는 현실적인 문제에 부응하기 위하여 실험실에서 EXAFS 실험을 수행할 수 있는 system을 개발하게 되었다. 개발한 XIEES 장비는 rotating anode 형의 18kW X-ray source, Optical system, Detection system, Stepping motor control system, vacuum system, Utility 등으로 구성하였다. Optical system에서의 6개의 Johanson type monochromator를 사용하여 분석가능한 x-ray energy range를 480eV에서 41keV까지 구현하였다. 이는 산소에서 우라늄까지 분석이 가능함을 의미하는 것으로, 산화물 연구에 많이 활용할 것으로 기대한다. XIEES는 투과 및 형광 X-ray를 검출할 수 있는 기능과 X-ray에 의해 여기 되는 모든(광전자, Aiger 전자, 이차전자)들을 검출할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있는데 이를 Total Electron Yield 측정이라고 한다. Total Electron Yield 측정은 박막 시료와 같이 투과가 되지 않는 시료를 분석할 뿐만 아니라, 경원소 분석, 낮은 에너지에서 흡수 edge가 나타나는 L-edge 측정을 통한 전자 구조 분석 등에 유용한다. 실험실용 XIEES 장비는 방사광가속기에 비해 x-ray flux가 크게 뒤지는 문제와 Total Electron Yield를 측정하는 데 있어서 source에서 나오는 x-ray beam이 진공용기 안에서 산란되어 이차전자를 여기하고 이 이차전자들이 전자검출기에 유입되어 측정에 영향을 미치는 background 문제 등이 있다. 이 두 가지 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Capillary tube를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 실험실용 XIEES 장비를 소개하고 이를 이용하여 Cu standard 시료에서 측정한 EXAFS 결과와 Capillary tube를 사용하여 얻은 x-ray flux 증진 및 background 제거 효과에 대해서 발표한다.

Objective: This study was conducted to compare the adherence, clinical and economical utility of fixed-dose combination tablets of sitagliptin/metformin with concomitant administration of sitagliptin and metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Adherence was measured as the medication possession ratio (MPR) of ${\geq}80%$, and MPR was calculated as the number of total prescription days divided by the total treatment period. Hemoglobin $A_{1C}$ ($HbA_{1c}$) differences between baseline and predetermined periods were analyzed. Proportions of patients who achieved $HbA_{1c}$ less than 6.5% for three or more consecutive times were compared. To evaluate cost-effectiveness, prices of sitagliptin, metformin and sitagliptin/metformin tablets were investigated. Results: More than 90% of patients showed adherence in both groups (92.0% in fixed-dose combination group vs 95.9% in concomitant administration group), and there was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.113). Proportion of patients with HbA1c less than 6.5% for three or more consecutive times tended to be somewhat higher in fixed dose combination group than in concomitant administration group without a statistically significant difference (32.6% vs. 28.0%, P = 0.344). Total price of metformin and sitagliptin was cheaper up to 222 KRW in the case of fixed-dose combination tablets compared to the case of concomitant administration. Conclusion: The sitagliptin/metformin fixed-dose combination tablet had a similar patient adherence and was not significantly different in efficacy to the concomitant administration of each component. In terms of drug prices, fixed-dose combination tablets were cheaper than concomitant administration of each tablet.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: We have previously designed the anti-cancer food scoring model (ACFS) 1.0, an evidence-based quantitative tool analyzing the anti-cancer or carcinogenic potential of diets. Analysis was performed using simple quantitative indexes divided into 6 categories (S, A, B, C, D, and E). In this study, we applied this scoring model to wider recipes and evaluated its nutritional relevance. MATERIALS/METHODS: National or known regional databases were searched for recipes from 6 categories: Korean out-dining, Korean home-dining, Western, Chinese, Mediterranean, and vegetarian. These recipes were scored using the ACFS formula and the nutrition profiles were analyzed. RESULTS: Eighty-eight international recipes were analyzed. All S-graded recipes were from vegetarian or Mediterranean categories. The median code values of each category were B (Korean home-dining), C (Korean out-dining), B (Chinese), A (Mediterranean), S (vegetarian), and D (Western). The following profiles were correlated (P < 0.05) with ACFS grades in the univariate trend analysis: total calories, total fat, animal fat, animal protein, total protein, vitamin D, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B₁₂, pantothenic acid, sodium, animal iron, zinc, selenium, and cholesterol (negative trends), and carbohydrate rate, fiber, water-soluble fiber, vitamin K, vitamin C, and plant calcium (positive trends). Multivariate analysis revealed that animal fat, animal iron, and niacin (negative trends) and animal protein, fiber, and vitamin C (positive trends) were statistically significant. Pantothenic acid and sodium showed non-significant negative trends (P < 0.1), and vitamin B₁₂ showed a non-significant positive trend. CONCLUSION: This study provided a nutritional basis and extended the utility of ACFS, which is a bridgehead for future cancer-preventive clinical trials using ACFS.

Purpose: This study compared the total antioxidant status (TAS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the saliva of periodontally compromised patients before and after scaling and root planing (SRP) to assess their diagnostic utility. Methods: Severe chronic periodontitis patient (test group) and subjects with no attachment loss, sites showing a 3 mm or more probing depth and a sulcus bleeding index < 10% (control group) were enrolled in this study. Saliva sampling and clinical examination were performed at one week, one month and 3 months after SRP. The TAS and SOD activity in each patient's saliva was measured for the comparative analysis between the groups. Results: In the test group, the TAS decreased directly after SRP. With time, it increased slightly and was relatively unchanged compared to the baseline. In the control group, the TAS also decreased immediately after SRP but increased gradually with time until 3 months. The SOD activity in the test and control subjects decreased immediately after SRP until 1 month. At 3 months, the SOD activity had increased. Both groups had a similar profile of SOD activity. However, the SOD activity of the control group was significantly higher than that of the test group at each point in time (P < 0.05). Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the total salivary antioxidant level between the periodontitis and healthy or gingivitis (control) group during the experiment period. The total antioxidant level in the saliva was higher in the patients with severe chronic periodontitis than the healthy or gingivitis control before SRP. The SOD activity of the periodontitis patients was lower than the control at each time point. These findings conclusively reveal the possible use of saliva as a diagnostic tool for periodontal health.

This study was carried out to elucidate the utility of fusant for shortening the ripening time of imitation processed cheese. L. bulgaricus exhibited the highest protease and lactase activity and L. helveticus revealed the highest lipase activity. Fusant was shown to be high in the activity of protease and lactase. The total volatile free fatty acid produced by the cheese treated with L. helveticus was markedly increased after four ripening days and was gently increased after nine ripening days. However, L. bulgaricus significantly increased the total volatile free fatty acid between four and nine ripening days. In the case of fusant, the amount of total volatile free fatty acid was observed to increase at a constant rate relative to the ripening time. In free fatty acid production at different ripening times, L. bulfaricus generated caproic acid and caprilic acid abundantly while it produced a poor quantity of capric acid, lauric acid, and myristic acid. In the cheese sample treated with L. helveticus, the amount of caproic acid and capylic acid was on increase as the ripening time increased. The amount of caproic acid and caprylic acid produced by fusant was less than that produced by the other two starters. In the panel sensory evaluation, the flavor intensity and preference increased as the ripening time increased. The cheese sample treated with fusant showed the highest flavor intensity at 7 days, whereas cheese treated with L. helveticus exhibited the highest flavor intensity at 15 or 30 days. The cheese treated with L. helveticus showed the highest preference at 7 days, but cheese treated with fusant exhibited the highest preference at 30 days.

Objective : This study is a retrospective cost-benefit analysis of cervical anterior interbody fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement, which are the main surgical methods to treat degenerative cervical disc disease. Methods : We analyzed 156 patients who underwent anterior cervical disc fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, diagnosed with degenerative cervical disc disorder. In this study, the costs and benefits were analyzed by using quality adjusted life year (QALY) as the outcome index for patients undergoing surgery, and a Markov model was used for the analysis. Only direct medical costs were included in the analysis; indirect medical costs were excluded. Data were analyzed with TreeAge Pro $2015^{TM}$ (TreeAge Software, Inc, Williamstown, MA, USA). Results : Patients who underwent cervical anterior fusion had a total cost of KRW 2501807/USD 2357 over 5 years and obtained a utility of 3.72 QALY. Patients who underwent cervical artificial disc replacement received 4.18 QALY for a total of KRW 3685949/USD 3473 over 5 years. The cumulative cost-effectiveness ratio of cervical spine replacement surgery was KRW 2549511/QALY (USD 2402/QALY), which was lower than the general Korean payment standard. Conclusion : Both cervical anterior fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement are cost-effective treatments for patients with degenerative cervical disc disease. Cervical artificial disc replacement may be an effective alternative to obtain more benefits.

본고는 조건부가치측정법을 비용편익분석에 이용하기 위하여 공공시설의 신설에 따른 총편익의 산정을 보다 엄밀히 수행하는 방법을 제시한다. 즉, 설문을 통해 가구당 지불의사액을 추정하는 경우, 응답자의 소득 및 응답자의 거주지와 해당 공공시설 사업지 간의 거리가 지불의사액에 영향을 미치는지를 확인하고자 한다. 구조적 효용격차모형을 이용한 사례분석 결과 지불의사액에 대한 소득효과 및 거리-소멸 효과가 존재함을 확인하였으며, 총편익의 산정 시 이들을 고려하지 않는 경우 산정된 총편익의 값이 크게 달라질 수 있음을 보였다. 이에 본고는 조건부가치측정법을 비용편익분석에 이용하는 경우 총편익의 산정에 있어 주의를 기울여야 함을 강조한다. 비용편익분석에 있어 총비용의 추정이 정확히 이루어진다 하더라도 가구당 지불의사액의 추정 및 이들을 합산하여 총편익을 산정하는 방식이 옳지 못할 경우 편익/비용(B/C) 비율이 크게 달라질 수 있기 때문이다. 한편, 효용격차 구조모형을 따르지 않고 임의적으로 유사한 추정을 수행한 결과는 구조모형의 추정치와 매우 큰 차이를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 총편익의 산정은 구조모형의 설정을 따르는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션을 통해 모형의 적합성을 검증하였으며, 소득효과와 거리-소멸 효과를 고려하지 않는 경우 지역균형발전의 관점에서 바람직하지 못한 총편익의 추정 결과를 얻음을 밝혔다.
