The current medical payment Insurance Rates in Korea stipulate charges for medical treatment by the doctor, pharmaceutist, medical technician and maternity nurse. But unfortunately didn't specify those charges for nursing done by the professional nurse. Only basic nursing fee is accounted insufficiently in current medical insurance fee schedule. therefore, Being face with covering entire people by medical insurance by 1991, It seems that the problems pertaining to operating the hospital and medical insurance system would be incessantly expanded in that no mention is made of medical charges rendered by major medical producer service in the current system, For that reason, this study made an attempt to clarify the importance the professional nursing puts of the current medical payment. The purpose of this study was to accounting nursing fee which diveded into the current medical fee schedule. (Method) 1. Data collection; Importance and difficulties in nursing activities was conducted in 'S' National University Hospital. Total nursing activities were selected 72 items which included direct care and indirect care. This study was conducted to evaluating the degree of importance and difficulties according to nursing activities through questionnaire to 204 RN. and so relative difficulties (acuity) were computered because the nursing cost level of each nursing service was differently established by the equivalent coefficient according to degree of relative difficulty and time required. 2. Calculation of cost according to nursing activities; After 47 nursing activities were selected in General surgery nursing units, calculation of nursing cost was as follows Cost of Nursing activity = (relative difficulty X Average hourly wage and benefits of nurse) + material cost of nursing -t- Average nursing administration cost So, Calculated cost by nursing activities was compared to current non-insured and insurance rate. 3. Calculation of nursing cost by K - DRG ; Total of 578 patients who were hospitalized in General Surgery units from January to March 1988 ware classified by K - DRG After estimation of total nursing cost based on the K-DRG, verified the appropriateness of basic nursing fee in medical insurance rate (Results) 1. Analysis of degree of importance and difficulties were 4.16 and 3.67 based on 5 point scale. This score were judged that it is worthy specifying the nursing fee 2. The nursing cost of 47 nursing service items in general surgery patients showed that the average cost of nursing activity was \1374.5 and The lowest cost was \217 of 'oral administration nursing' item, The highest cost was \11,025 of 'saline enematill clear' item 3. The result of comparison between the calculated cost by nursing activities against the current non-insured and insurance rate showed that 13 items(27.7%) involved to payment of insurance rate, 9 items(19.1%) involved to non-insured rate, remainder 25 items (53.2%) were not charged anywhere of total 47 nursing activities 4. When calculated cost by nursing activities was 100. current insurance rate was 62.3, non-insured rate was 176.6. Therefore this showed that most of non-insured rate were higher than calculated nursing cost. The insurance rate, however, were lower than it. Reim-bursement was imputed to non-insured patients. So the current rate system became estrainged from cost system. When Remainder 25 items of nursing activities compared' to \1390 of daily basic nursing fee per patient belonged to payment as a insurance fee schedule, basic nursing fee schedule was 1-2% of calculated cost of nursing activities. Therefore it showed that nursing fee was not counted adequately in it. 5. Nursing cost by K-DRG estimated in chart review based on counting number of nursing activities and length of stay The result showed that average amount of total nursing cost was \183828.1 Comparison of nursing cost calculated by K- DRG and basic nursing fee schedule showed that only 12.3% of nursing cost was charged (Conclusion) From the above research result, It is fact that nursing prime cost should be estimated more accurately and included adequately in current medical payment system. The payment system of nursing activities should be introduced not only nursing activities of drug administration and injection fee belonged to insurance fee schedule but also most nursing activities belonged not to mekical fee schedule. Even if introducing payment system of nursing activities, It should be estimated scientific method of Accounting nursing cost So nurses could offer nursing care of good quality, thereby they could make a great contribution not merely to the convalescence of the patient but to the promotion of the people's health.

The main objectives of the present study is to evaluate Physician's Health Education Activities by means of physician's direct response to the prepared questionnaire and patient's perception to the physician in the course of medical care. For the data collection, the present study was conducted from Aug. 16 to Oct. 7, 1983 for 739 patients and 91 physicians who were attended outpatient clinics of 5 general hospitals in Seoul. The major findings are summarized as follows: 1. Self-evaluation on Physician's Health Education Activities (1) In consideration of health education services for the patient, the data revealed that 9.9% of the sampled physician wanted to strength public health and preventive medicine lecture in the curricula at medical education. On the other hand, only 1.1% expressed that they wanted to make it short. (2) In consideration of the necessity of health education service, it was shown that 95.6% of physicians agreed to take it into consideration. Self expression for the practice of health education was placed on the 3.15 score when 5 point scale used. (3) To evaluate the degree of an explanation about medical care for the patient, Index score with 4 point scale was employed. The Index score for the first time was shown that scale was placed on 3.23 for 'diagnosis', 3.12 for 'progress of the disease', 3.11 for 'discription of procedure' and 3.02 for 'cause of the disease' respectively. In comparison of the physician's explanation about the status of disease for the first and the second visitors to clinic, they evaluated themselves as giving more detailed explanation for the second visitors rather than the first visitors. 2. Physician's Health Education Services evaluated by patients (1) To evaluate physician-patient communication at beginning time for taking history about disease, the Index score with 5 point scale was employed. The data on taking history have shown that the score placed on 3.07 for those patients who visited the first time and 2.53 for second visitors. And the score about listening from the patients was placed on 3.52 and 3.42 respectively. (2) The Index score with 5 point scale, as used before, was also employed to evaluate medical care services for the patient. The data evaluated by the patients was shown that the score placed on 4.21 for patient treatment in general, 4.58 for physician's credibility, and 3.6 for physician's kindness. However, approximately 80% of those who failed to understand physician's explanation was caused by highly sophisticated medical terminology. (3) According to the Index score with 4 point scale, to evaluate physician's explanation, the data was shown that the patient who visited the first time gave 2.51 for 'diagnosis', 2.35 for 'progress', 2.11 for 'cause of the disease' and so on. It is acknowledged on the whole that the patients who visited the second time have more satisfaction in physician's explanation about their disease, than those who visited the first time. 3. Comparison of self-evaluation of Physician's Health Education Activities and patient's perception. (1) There was communication barriers between physicians and patients in expressing some medical terminology. For example physician understood that they explained more than 50% of medical terminology into common words for the patient, but 30% of patient complained medical terminology used by physician. (2) Comparing the index score of health education practice recognized by patients and physicians for both first visit and revisit groups, it was shown that the Index score of health education activities evaluated by physicians themselves were slightly higher than the score evaluated by patients.

Hemodialysis is essential treatment for the chronic renal failure patient's long-term cure and for the patient management before and after kidney transplantation. It sustains the endstage renal failure patient's life which didn't get well despite strict regimen and furthermore it becomes an essential treatment to maintain civil life. Bursing implementation in hemodialysis may affect the significant effect on patient's life. The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic data to solve the hypotension problem encountable to patient and the blood loss problem affecting hemodialysis patient'a anemic states by incomplete rinsing of blood in coil through all process of hemodialysis. The subjects for this study were 44 patients treated hemodialysis 691 times in the hemodialysis unit, The .data was collected at Gang Nam 51. Mary's Hospital from January 1, 1981 to April 30, 1981 by using the direct observation method and the clinical laboratory test for laboratory data and body weight and was analysed by the use of analysis of Chi-square, t-test and anlysis of varience. The results obtained an follows; A. On clinical laboratory data and other data by dialysis Procedure. The average initial body weight was 2.37 ± 0.97kg, and average body weight after every dialysis was 2.33 ± 0.9kg. The subject's average hemoglobin was 7.05±1.93gm/dl and average hematocrit was 20.84± 3.82%. Average initial blood pressure was 174.03±23,75mmHg and after dialysis was 158.45±25.08mmHg. The subject's average blood ion due to blood sample for laboratory data was 32.78±13.49cc/ month. The subject's average blood replacement for blood complementation was 1.31 ±0.88 pint/ month for every patient. B. On the hypotensive state and the coping approaches occurrence rate of hypotension was 28.08%. It was 194 cases among 691 times. 1. In degrees of initial blood pressure, the most 36.6% was in the group of 150-179mmHg, and in degrees of hypotension during dialysis, the most 28.9% in the group of 40-50mmHg, especially if the initial blood pressure was under 180mmHg, 59.8% clinical symptoms appeared in the group of“above 20mmHg of hypotension”. If initial blood pressure was above 180mmHg, 34.2% of clinical symptoms were appeared in the group of“above 40mmHg of hypotension”. These tendencies showed the higher initial blood pressure and the stronger degree of hypotension, these results showed statistically singificant differences. (P=0.0000) 2. Of the occuring times of hypotension,“after 3 hrs”were 29.4%, the longer the dialyzing procedure, the stronger degree of hypotension ann these showed statistically significant differences. (P=0.0142). 3. Of the dispersion of symptoms observed, sweat and flush were 43.3%, and Yawning, and dizziness 37.6%. These were the important symptoms implying hypotension during hemodialysis accordingly. Strages of procedures in coping with hypotension were as follows ; 45.9% were recovered by reducing the blood flow rate from 200cc/min to 1 00cc/min, and by reducing venous pressure to 0-30mmHg. 33.51% were recovered by controling (adjusting) blood flow rate and by infusion of 300cc of 0,9% Normal saline. 4.1% were recovered by infusion of over 300cc of 0.9% normal saline. 3.6% by substituting Nor-epinephiine, 5.7% by substituting blood transfusion, and 7,2% by substituting Albumin were recovered. And the stronger the degree of symptoms observed in hypotention, the more the treatments required for recovery and these showed statistically significant differences (P=0.0000). C. On the effects of the changes of blood pressure and osmolality by albumin and hemofiltration. 1. Changes of blood pressure in the group which didn't required treatment in hypotension and the group required treatment, were averaged 21.5mmHg and 44.82mmHg. So the difference in the latter was bigger than the former and these showed statistically significant difference (P=0.002). On the changes of osmolality, average mean were 12.65mOsm, and 17.57mOsm. So the difference was bigger in the latter than in the former but these not showed statistically significance (P=0.323). 2. Changes of blood pressure in the group infused albumin and in the group didn't required treatment in hypotension, were averaged 30mmHg and 21.5mmHg. So there was no significant differences and it showed no statistical significance (P=0.503). Changes of osmolality were averaged 5.63mOsm and 12.65mOsm. So the difference was smaller in the former but these was no stitistical significance (P=0.287). Changes of blood pressure in the group infused Albumin and in the group required treatment in hypotension were averaged 30mmHg and 44.82mmHg. So the difference was smaller in the former but there is no significant difference (P=0.061). Changes of osmolality were averaged 8.63mOsm, and 17.59mOsm. So the difference were smaller in the former but these not showed statistically significance (P=0.093). 3. Changes of blood pressure in the group iutplemented hemofiltration and in the Uoup didn't required treatment in hypotension were averaged 22mmHg and 21.5mmHg. So there was no significant differences and also these showed no statistical significance (P=0.320). Changes of osmolality were averaged 0.4mOsm and 12.65mOsm. So the difference was smaller in the former but these not showed statistical significance（P=0.199). Changes of blood pressure in the group implemented hemofiltration and in the group required treatment in hypotension were averaged 22mmHg and 44.82mmHg. So the difference was smatter in the former and these showed statistically significant differences (P=0.035). Changes of osmolality were averaged 0.4mOsm and 17.59mOsm. So the difference was smaller in the former but these not showed statistical significance (P=0.086). D. On the changes of body weight, and blood pressure, between the group of hemofiltration and hemodialysis. 1, Changes of body weight in the group implemented hemofiltration and hemodialysis were averaged 3.340 and 3.320. So there was no significant differences and these showed no statistically significant difference, (P=0.185) but standard deviation of body weight averaged in comparison with standard difference of body weight was statistically significant difference (P=0.0000). Change of blood Pressure in the group implemented hemofiltration and hemodialysis were averaged 17.81mmHg and 19.47mmHg. So there was no significant differences and these showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.119), But in comparison with standard deviation about difference of blood pressure was statistically significant difference. (P=0.0000). E. On the blood infusion method in coil after hemodialysis and residual blood losing method in coil. 1, On comparing and analysing Hct of residual blood in coil by factors influencing blood infusion method. Infusion method of saline 200cc reduced residual blood in coil after the quantitative comparison of Saline Occ, 50cc, 100cc, 200cc and the differences showed statistical significance (p < 0.001). Shaking Coil method reduced residual blood in Coil in comparison of Shaking Coil method and Non-Shaking Coil method this showed statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Adjusting pressure in Coil at OmmHg method reduced residual blood in Coil in comparison of adjusting pressure in Coil at OmmHg and 200mmHg, and this showed statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). 2. Comparing blood infusion method divided into 10 methods in Coil with every factor respectively, there was seldom difference in group of choosing Saline 100cc infusion between Coil at OmmHg. The measured quantity of blood loss was averaged 13.49cc. Shaking Coil method in case of choosing saline 50cc infusion while adjusting pressure in coil at OmmHg was the most effective to reduce residual blood. The measured quantity of blood loss was averaged 15.18cc.

본 연구에서는 관동맥 혈류가 감소된 부위에 혈중 방사성의약품의 농도를 증가시킴으로서 심근내 섭취를 향상 시킬 수 있을 것이라는 가정 하에 관동맥조영술 시에 관동맥 내에 Tl-201를 직접 주사한 후 SPECT 영상을 얻어 심근 분절의 섭취 정도를 평가하였다. 이 심근영상을 생존심근의 진단에 이용되는 아데노신 부하-재주사 TI-201 SPECT 영상의 심근 내 방사성의약품의 섭취 정도와 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: 심장 초음파검사에서 심벽운동의 이상이 있고, 관동맥조영술을 시행할 예정인 14명의 관동맥질환자를 대상으로 연구를 시행하였다. 남자가 11명이었고, 평균연령은 54세(36-73세)였다. 관동맥내 주사 TI-201 SPECT 영상은 관동맥조영술을 시행한 환자들을 대상으로 관동맥조영술이 끝나기 직전에 TI-201 111 MBq(3 mCi)를 나누어서 각각 좌, 우관동맥 내에 각각 직접 주사하여 얻었다. 아데노신 부하-재주사 TI-201 SPECT 영상은 TI-201 2-3mCi를 정맥주사 후 아데노신 부하영상을 얻고 4시간 후에 TI-201 1mCi를 재주사한 후 다시 영상을 얻었다. 심근분절의 섭취정도에 따라 0-3의 4등급으로 분류하였다. 정상적인 섭취를 등급 0, 경도로 감소된 섭취를 등급 1, 중등도로 감소된 섭취를 등급 2, 심하게 감소되었거나 관류결손이 나타난 분절은 등급 3으로 분류하였다. 생존된 심근의 판정은 부하영상 재주사후의 영상, 또는 관동맥주사후의 영상 모두에서 심근 분절의 섭취정도가 등급 0, 1인 경우는 생존심근으로 판정하였고, 심근 분절의 Tl-201 섭취가 정상분절 섭취의 50%이하이며 역치를 50%로 설정 한 color coding으로 black-out하였을 때, 결손으로 나타나는 등급 2, 3을 비생존 심근으로 판단하였다. 결과 총 14명의 환자 중 14%에 해당하는 2명의 관동맥내 주사 영상은 낮은 계수율로 인하여 심장의 경계가 정확하게 구분되지 않거나 분절을 명확하게 구분할 수 없을 정도로 영상이 깨끗하지 못하였으므로 본 연구의 심근분절 섭취 분석에서 제외하였고 나머지 12명의 영상에서 총 252분절을 구분하여 섭취 정도를 분석하였다. 관동맥내 주사 영상에서 0등급-1등급이었던 192개의 분절을 생존심근으로 판단하였고, 재주사 영상에서는 0등급-1등급이었던 214개의 분절이 각각 생존심근으로 나타났다. 두 영상에서의 관류등급 평가에 대한 일치율은 76.5%였으며 생존능 평가에 대한 일치율은 90.5%였다. 부하-재주사영상시 비생존심근으로 나타난 38개의 분절 중 단 1개의 분절만이 관동맥내 주사 영상에서 생존심근인 것으로 판단할 소견을 보였으며, 부하-재주사 영상에서 생존심근인 것으로 나타났던 214개의 분절 중에서는 23개의 분절은 관동맥주사 영상시 오히려 생존능이 없는 것으로 하향 평가 되었다. 결론: Tl-201 관동맥내 주사 SPECT 영상은 Tl-201 부하-재주사 SPECT 영상과 비교하였을 때, 심근의 생존능을 평가하는데 있어 어느 정도 도움을 줄 수는 있으나 우월하지 않았다. 관동맥내 주사 영상은 6시간에서 24시간이 지나 얻은 지연영상의 낮은 계수율 때문으로 좋지 않은 결과를 얻었을 것 이 라 판단되었고, 조기에 영상을 얻기가 어려운 현실에서, Tl-201 관동맥내 주사 영상의 임상적 유용성은 제한적일 것이다.

With rapid development of ICT (Information and Communications Technology), new services by the convergence of mobile network and application technology began to appear. Today, smart phone with new ICT convergence network capabilities is exceedingly popular and very useful as a new tool for the development of business opportunities. Previous studies based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) suggested critical factors, which should be considered for acquiring new customers and maintaining existing users in smart phone market. However, they had a limitation to focus on technology acceptance, not value based approach. Prior studies on customer's adoption of electronic utilities like smart phone product showed that the antecedents such as the perceived benefit and the perceived sacrifice could explain the causality between what is perceived and what is acquired over diverse contexts. So, this research conceptualizes perceived value as a trade-off between perceived benefit and perceived sacrifice, and we need to research the perceived value to grasp user's continuous intention to use of smart phone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structured relationship between benefit (quality, usefulness, playfulness) and sacrifice (technicality, cost, security risk) of smart phone users, perceived value, and continuous intention to use. In addition, this study intends to analyze the differences between two subgroups of smart phone users by the degree of personal innovativeness. Personal innovativeness could help us to understand the moderating effect between how perceptions are formed and continuous intention to use smart phone. This study conducted survey through e-mail, direct mail, and interview with smart phone users. Empirical analysis based on 330 respondents was conducted in order to test the hypotheses. First, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived usefulness among three factors of perceived benefit has the highest positive impact on perceived value, and then followed by perceived playfulness and perceived quality. Second, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived cost among three factors of perceived sacrifice has significantly negative impact on perceived value, however, technicality and security risk have no significant impact on perceived value. Also, the result of hypotheses testing showed that perceived value has significant direct impact on continuous intention to use of smart phone. In this regard, marketing managers of smart phone company should pay more attention to improve task efficiency and performance of smart phone, including rate systems of smart phone. Additionally, to test the moderating effect of personal innovativeness, this research conducted multi-group analysis by the degree of personal innovativeness of smart phone users. In a group with high level of innovativeness, perceived usefulness has the highest positive influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, the analysis for a group with low level of innovativeness showed that perceived playfulness was the highest positive factor to influence perceived value than others. This result of the group with high level of innovativeness explains that innovators and early adopters are able to cope with higher level of cost and risk, and they expect to develop more positive intentions toward higher performance through the use of an innovation. Also, hedonic behavior in the case of the group with low level of innovativeness aims to provide self-fulfilling value to the users, in contrast to utilitarian perspective, which aims to provide instrumental value to the users. However, with regard to perceived sacrifice, both groups in general showed negative impact on perceived value. Also, the group with high level of innovativeness had less overall negative impact on perceived value compared to the group with low level of innovativeness across all factors. In both group with high level of innovativeness and with low level of innovativeness, perceived cost has the highest negative influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, the analysis for a group with high level of innovativeness showed that perceived technicality was the positive factor to influence perceived value than others. However, the analysis for a group with low level of innovativeness showed that perceived security risk was the second high negative factor to influence perceived value than others. Unlike previous studies, this study focuses on influencing factors on continuous intention to use of smart phone, rather than considering initial purchase and adoption of smart phone. First, perceived value, which was used to identify user's adoption behavior, has a mediating effect among perceived benefit, perceived sacrifice, and continuous intention to use smart phone. Second, perceived usefulness has the highest positive influence on perceived value, while perceived cost has significant negative influence on perceived value. Third, perceived value, like prior studies, has high level of positive influence on continuous intention to use smart phone. Fourth, in multi-group analysis by the degree of personal innovativeness of smart phone users, perceived usefulness, in a group with high level of innovativeness, has the highest positive influence on perceived value than other factors. Instead, perceived playfulness, in a group with low level of innovativeness, has the highest positive factor to influence perceived value than others. This result shows that early adopters intend to adopt smart phone as a tool to make their job useful, instead market followers intend to adopt smart phone as a tool to make their time enjoyable. In terms of marketing strategy for smart phone company, marketing managers should pay more attention to identify their customers' lifetime value by the phase of smart phone adoption, as well as to understand their behavior intention to accept the risk and uncertainty positively. The academic contribution of this study primarily is to employ the VAM (Value-based Adoption Model) as a conceptual foundation, compared to TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) used widely by previous studies. VAM is useful for understanding continuous intention to use smart phone in comparison with TAM as a new IT utility by individual adoption. Perceived value dominantly influences continuous intention to use smart phone. The results of this study justify our research model adoption on each antecedent of perceived value as a benefit and a sacrifice component. While TAM could be widely used in user acceptance of new technology, it has a limitation to explain the new IT adoption like smart phone, because of customer behavior intention to choose the value of the object. In terms of theoretical approach, this study provides theoretical contribution to the development, design, and marketing of smart phone. The practical contribution of this study is to suggest useful decision alternatives concerned to marketing strategy formulation for acquiring and retaining long-term customers related to smart phone business. Since potential customers are interested in both benefit and sacrifice when evaluating the value of smart phone, marketing managers in smart phone company has to put more effort into creating customer's value of low sacrifice and high benefit so that customers will continuously have higher adoption on smart phone. Especially, this study shows that innovators and early adopters with high level of innovativeness have higher adoption than market followers with low level of innovativeness, in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived cost. To formulate marketing strategy for smart phone diffusion, marketing managers have to pay more attention to identify not only their customers' benefit and sacrifice components but also their customers' lifetime value to adopt smart phone.

목 적 : 극소 저출생 체중아에서 총정맥영양에 의한 담즙정체는 중요한 합병증 중 하나이다. 총정맥영양에 의한 담즙정체에 영양을 미치는 인자들은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그중 아미노산의 조성이 총정맥영양을 시행 받은 극소 저출생 체중아의 담즙정체 발생에 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2000년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 동아대학교의료원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 극소 저출생 체중아 중에서 일주일이상 총정맥영양을 시행 받은 환아 63명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 2000년 1월부터 2002년 6월까지의 연구 대상을 제1군으로, 2002년 7월부터 2004년 12월까지의 연구대상은 제1군과는 cysteine, tyrosine, taurine, glutamate 등의 성분이 차이가 있는 아미노산 제제를 사용하여 제2군으로 분류하였다. 제1군과 제2군의 임상적 특징과 총정맥영양에 의한 담즙정체의 빈도를 비교하였다. 결 과 : 제1군(n=32)과 제2군(n=31)의 재태연령($29.7{\pm}2.7$주, $29.5{\pm}2.8$주), 출생체중($1,195.6{\pm}200.4g$, $1,177.0{\pm}224.0g$) 및 총정맥영양 시작시기($16.1{\pm}8.5$일, $14.8{\pm}7.7$일), 총정맥영양의 기간($25.7{\pm}13.5$일, $25.4{\pm}12.1$일), 제공된 아미노산의 양($1.45{\pm}0.49$g/kg/일, $1.65{\pm}0.89$ g/kg/일), 완전장관영양 도달시기($59.9{\pm}23.2$일, $61.0{\pm}18.0$ 일)에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 총정맥영양과 관련된 담즙정체의 빈도는 제1군은 7례(21.9%), 제2군은 2례(6.5 %)로 제2군에서 감소되는 경향을 보였으나 통계학적 의미는 없었다(P=0.148). 두 군 간의 최고 직접 빌리루빈 수치($1.62{\pm}1.18mg/dL$, $1.04{\pm}1.05mg/dL$, P=0.046)와 평균 직접 빌리루빈 수치($0.78{\pm}0.46mg/dL$, $0.52{\pm}0.29mg/dL$, P=0.012)는 각각 제2군에서 의미 있게 낮았다. 결 론 : 총정맥영양을 시행 받은 극소 저출생 체중아에서 생기는 총정맥영양에 관련된 담즙정체를 비교한 결과, 아미노산 조성의 차이에 따라 담즙정체의 발생 빈도에 차이가 있었으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었고, 직접 빌리루빈 수치는 의미 있게 감소하였다. 그러나 좀 더 많은 연구 대상을 통한 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.

연구배경: 단일염기다형성(Single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP)은 인간의 유전자 서열 1000염기에 1개 빈도로 발견되어 인간은 대략 300만개의 유전자 다형성을 가지고 있다. 이 유전자 다형성의 조합결과로 인간의 개체 간 특성들이 결정되는 것으로 이해되고 있다. 이러한 다형성들의 조합양상에 따라 특이 질환에 대한 유전자 감수성 또한 달라지게 되므로 최근에는 많은 질환들과 유전자 다형성들과의 상관관계를 보는 연구들도 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이러한 SNP분석은 큰 집단을 대상으로 진행되어 지므로 적은 비용으로 정확하게 그리고 대용량으로 분석할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 방 법: 대상 환자 89명의 genomic DNA를 가지고서 promotor상에 위치한 -37과 -524 염기부위에서 유전자 다형성을 보이는 것으로 보고되어져 있는 RRM1(ribonucleotide reductase M1) 유전자를 대상으로 PCR-RFLP(polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism)와 real-time PCR(RTPCR, TaqMan probe assay)을 동시에 시행한 후 각각의 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 대상 DNA 89예 중 -37에서는 2예(2.17%), -524에서는 15예(16.26%)가 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 결과 차이를 보인 샘플 17예를 대상으로 직접 염기서열 분석을 시행하여 본 결과, 17예 모두 RT-PCR에서 확인되었던 결과와 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 추가 샘플 138예를 대상으로 RT-PCR을 2회 연속 실행하여 genotyping을 해 본 결과 98%이상의 높은 일치율을 보였으며, 그중 10예를 무작위로 골라 직접 염기서열 분석을 시행하여 본 결과, 역시 100%일치, 높은 정확도를 보였고 이는 in-tube assay 방식으로 샘플의 오염을 최소화 할 수 있었으며 72 well based system(Corbett Research)을 이용함으로 1회 유전자 증폭반응을 통해 많은 검체를 한 번에 확인할 수 있어 매우 빠른 검사방법 이었다. 결 론: 큰 집단을 대상으로 다량의 SNP를 분석하기 위한 실험 방법으로는 RT-PCR이 신속하면서도 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있는 방법으로 사료된다.
