Purpose: To assess parent perspectives of the current and potential future tests for their child with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: New Zealand parents of a child with IBD were invited to complete an anonymous online survey. Experiences relating to their child's blood or faecal tests, medical imaging (abdominal ultrasound [US], abdominal computerised tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance enterography) and colonoscopy were collected. Perceived attitudes to potential future testing of urine, saliva, and breath, were sought. Results: Twenty-eight parents, 93% female completed the survey, and 86% were aged between 35 and 54 years. Baseline information was provided by parents for 27 of 28 children, 70.3% had Crohn's disease with a mean disease duration of 2.67 years. Blood tests were the most requested and completed tests, while CT was the least ordered and most refused test. Colonoscopy was rated as the least comfortable and generated the most worry. Explanation of test significantly improved parent's levels of understanding when their child had blood, faecal, imaging (US) or colonoscopy tests. Providing an explanation, test invasiveness and the impact of the blood results may have on their child's treatment significantly improved parents' comfort levels. However, explanation of colonoscopy generated a significant parental concerns. Saliva, urine and blood tests were chosen as the most preferred disease monitoring tests. Conclusion: Parents preferred any tests less invasive than colonoscopy for monitoring their child's IBD. Although providing explanation of their child's tests enhanced parents' understanding, it can also affect parents' levels of concern and comfort.

점탄성 응고 검사법은 전혈 검사법으로 혈장성분뿐 아니라 응고 과정의 세포 기반 측면까지 동시에 볼 수 있는 방법이다. 프로트롬빈시간이나 활성화부분트롬보플라스틴시간과 같은 기존의 응고 검사법과 달리 이 검사는 현장 현시 검사로 즉시 시행할 수 있다. 점탄성 응고 검사법은 사망률 등의 예후 예측 인자이고, 응고 장애를 좀 더 예민하게 감지하여 결과적으로 출혈을 줄여주는 효과를 줄 수 있다. 점탄성 응고 검사 결과를 이용한 수혈 전략이 수혈 요구량을 줄여주었다고 보고되기도 하였다. 아직 이 방법의 정확성과 신뢰도에 대한 우려가 있기도 하지만, ROTEM 등의 점탄성 응고 검사법은 환자혈액관리에 응용하는 것은 유용할 것이다.

본 연구는 혈액은행 자동화 장비 QWALYS-2 up (Diagast, Loos Cedex, France)의 유용성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2013년 10월 1일부터 10월 31말까지 1개월간 강원대학교병원 진단검사의학과에 의뢰된 ABO 및 RhD 혈액형 검사 1,636건, 항체선별검사 1,374건을 대상으로 하였고, ABO 및 RhD 혈액형 검사의 평가는 200건을 대상으로 하였다. 혈액은행 자동화장비의 경제성을 평가하기 위해서는 2018년 12월을 기준으로 장비 도입 전인 2013년 1월부터 장비 도입 후 5개년의 ABO 및 RhD 혈액형 검사와 항체선별검사의 단가를 비교하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 ABO 및 Rh 혈액형 검사 결과, 슬라이드나 시험관을 이용한 수기법의 결과가 100% (200/200) 일치하였고 동종항체 선별검사 결과, 불일치 3검체는 수기법으로 재검을 한 결과, 음성을 보여 QWALYS-2 up에서 위양성의 결과를 나타냈으나, 반응의 정도를 비교한 결과 QWALYS-2 up에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 혈액형자동화 장비 도입 전후의 효과를 평가한 결과, 기존의 수기법과 비교하였을 때 높은 일치율을 보였으며, 정확도 면에서도 신뢰할 만한 것으로 판단되었다. 도입 전후의 시약의 비용은 증가하였지만 인건비의 절감을 감안하면 경제적으로도 유용하다고 평가할 수 있다.

Objectives: As medical history before surgery is often based on patient reporting, there is the possibility that patients intentionally hide underlying diseases or that dentists cannot recognize abnormal health states. Therefore, more professional and reliable treatment processes are needed under the Korean dental specialist system. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the necessity of a preoperative blood testing routine prior to office-based surgery under local anesthesia. Patients and Methods: Preoperative blood lab data for 5,022 patients from January 2018 to December 2019 were assembled. Study participants were those who underwent extraction or implant surgery under local anesthesia at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Preoperative blood tests included complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry, serum electrolyte, serology, and blood coagulation data. Values outside of the normal range were considered an "abnormality," and the percentage of abnormalities among the total number of patients was calculated. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of underlying disease. The rates of abnormalities in the blood tests were compared between groups. Chi-square tests were performed to compare data from the two groups, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The percentages of males and females in the study were 48.0% and 52.0%, respectively. Of all patients, 17.0% (Group B) reported known systemic disease, while 83.0% (Group A) reported no specific medical history. There were significant differences between Groups A and B in CBC, coagulation panel, electrolytes, and chemistry panel (P<0.05). In Group A, the results of blood tests that required a change in procedure were identified even though the proportion was very small. Conclusion: Preoperative blood tests for office-based surgery can detect underlying medical conditions that are difficult to identify from patient history alone and can prevent unexpected sequelae. In addition, such tests can result in a more professional treatment process and build patient confidence in the dentist.

After a health examination, abnormal patients were classified into two groups. One needs clinical treatment immediately, while the other one needs check-up in 2~3 month after for blood tests and preventive medical study. To discover the status and importance of the follow-up study in a health program, blood test upon health examination was compared to the test from the follow-up. We examined patients of ages from 20's to 70's. Among these patients, most of them were between 40's and 50's, and in male patients the follow-up test were more freguent than female. We examined blood obtained from January 2007 to December 2008. We analyzed and compared initial and the follow up blood test. Lipid profile, liver test, thyroid function tests (TFTs), glucose fasting, and HbA1c were examined from the blood tests. We also surveyed their distribution and status. The value of the follow up blood tests was significantly decreased with the most striking differences in lipid profiles and liver test. Follow up study is able to improve life style of patients through doctor's advice in a health program. Therefore, we can conclude that the follow up blood test is also quite critical.

To evaluate the effect of lead biomarkers including bone lead on neurobehavioral test in retired lead workers, 131 retired lead workers without any occupational exposure to organic solvent, mercury and arsenic were agreed to participate this study. For the control subjects 56 non-occupationally lead exposed subjects were recruited from same area of retired lead workers with consideration of demographic characteristics. The mean levels of blood and bone lead of retired lead workers were significantly higher than control group and there were significant correlation among other lead biomarkers. Compared with controls without occupational lead exposure, lead exposured subjects had worse performance on 10 tests out of 12 neurobehavioral tests, but only two tests(Purdue pegboard nondominant and both hand) showed statistical significance of differences. In multiple linear regression analysis of neurobehavioral tests with lead biomarkers and demographic and lifestyle variables, age was associated negatively with 11 neurobehavioral tests, whereas log-transformed ZPP was associated with Purdue pegboard(both hand) and Santa Ana manual dexterity(non-dominant hand). On the other hand, tibia lead was associated Pursuit aiming test(correct) and Purdue pegboard(dominant hand) and calcaneal lead was associated with Purdue pegboard(dominant hand). This study confirmed that among all relevant variables age was most significantly associated with the poor performance of neurobehavioral tests. The blood lead did not have any significant association with neurobehavioral tests, but tibia and calcaneal bone lead and blood ZPP showed significant association with a few tests even after more than mean 9 years from their retirements.

혈액은 범죄현장에서 가장 흔하게 볼 수 있는 체액 중 하나이며 용의자를 확인하고 사건 현장을 재구성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 혈액의 혈청학적 식별법은 법과학 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있지만, 오래된 혈흔에 대한 혈청학적 식별법의 비교에 관한 연구는 거의 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구의 목적은 오래된 혈흔의 다양한 식별법을 비교하고 그 유효성에 대한 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 Tetramethylbenzidine, $Bluestar^{(R)}$, Leucomalachite Green, Kastle-Meyer의 네 가지 혈액 예비시험과 Fecal Occult Blood (FOB)와 Rapid Stain $Identification^{(TM)}-Blood$ ($RSID^{TM}-Blood$) 두 가지 혈액 확증시험을 사용하여 비교연구를 수행하였다. 혈흔 시료는 최소 7년부터 최대 30년동안 실온에서 거즈에 보관된 부검 혈액을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 네 가지 예비 실험에서는 30년까지 경과된 시료를 포함하여 모든 시료에서 양성반응으로 관찰되었다. 반면에 FOB와 $RSID^{TM}-Blood$는 17년 이상 경과된 일부 시료(1988년부터 2001년)에서 음성이 나타나 오래된 혈흔 시료의 경우 확증시험에서 음성반응이 나타날 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 오래된 증거물에 대한 혈청학적 감정에서 적절한 혈액 식별법 선정에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 더불어 법과학적인 감정분야에서 활용할 때 유용한 배경지식이 되리라 사료된다.

Recently, the number of diabetic patients have been increased with westernized living way and meal habitation. The regulation of blood sugar concentration is very important for diabetic patients to keep homeostasis and, to prevent acute or chronic complications. Epinephrine combined with lidocaine is used in dental clinic extensively. And epinephrine combined with lidocaine also effects on decreasing the blood leakage volume by constricting micro vessle and arteriole. But, So far there are few researches about the effect of epinephrine contained in dental local anesthetic agent on the blood sugar of diabetes during minor oral surgery. The purpose of this study was intended to investigate whether epinephrine which combined with dental local anesthetics influence body glucose level in diabetes patients by glucose monitoring. The subject of this study were 38 diabetic patients and 38 normal adults, each patient was checked body glucose after a meal 2 hours later with resting state, and injection 1:100000 epinephrine with dental lidocaine 54 ml or lidocaine 54 ml only. And then the body glucose level was checked 5 minutes and 30 minutes after injection. The results were analyzed by two way ANOVA test (p<0.05). The results were as follows: In the experimental group 1, the mean of the blood sugar level was 180.3 mg/dl before an anesthetic injection, 182.8 mg/dl after 5minutes of the anesthetic injection and 182.2 mg/dl after 30minutes of the anesthetic injection. The change of the blood sugar level was not statistically by two-way ANOVA tests (p<0.05). In the experimental group 2, the mean of the blood sugar level was 237 mg/dl before an anesthetic injection, 234.5 mg/dl after 5minutes of the anesthetic injection and 231.8 mg/dl after 30minutes of the anesthetic injection. The change of the blood sugar level was not statistically by two-way ANOVA tests (p<0.05). In the controlled group 1, the mean of the blood sugar level was 117.6 mg/dl before an anesthetic injection, 119.1 mg/dl after 5minutes of the anesthetic injection and 129.3 mg/dl after 30minutes of the anesthetic injection. The change of the blood sugar level was not statistically by two-way ANOVA tests (p<0.05). In the controlled group 2, the mean of the blood sugar level was 104.2 mg/dl before an anesthetic injection, 102 mg/dl after 5minutes of the anesthetic injection and 105.3 mg/dl after 30minutes of the anesthetic injection. The change of the blood sugar level was not statistically by two-way ANOVA tests (p<0.05).
