  • 니코틴은 사람 대식세포에서 interleukin 2 (IL-2)와 종양괴사인자 (tumor necrosis factor-alpha; TNF-α) 가 생성되는 것을 억제하는데, 이러한 억제작용은 cytokine 유전자 발현 중 전사단계에서 전사인자의 활성을 억제함으로써 일어난다. 이러한 니코틴의 면역반응 억제작용은 아프타성궤양 및 궤양성대장염, 알레르기성폐 포염, 건초열 등에서도 보고되고 있다. 만일 중추신경계에서도 위와 같은 니코틴의 면역억제 작용이 일어난 다면 다발성경화증과 같은 면역반응 매개질환의 치료에 새로운 전기가 마련될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서 는 중추신경계의 여러 면역반응 매개질환의 병태생리에 대한 이해를 넓히고자, 이미 알려진 니코틴의 cytokine 생성억제가 사람 중추신경계의 성상세포에서도 일어남을 확인하고 그 억제기전을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위 하여 사람 태아 성상세포에 다양한 농도의 니코틴과 IL-1β를 처리한 다음 TNF-α mRNA의 발현 정도와 NF- κB의 활성을 비교, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 사람 태아 성상세포를 0.1-20 μg/ml의 니코틴으로 처리해 본 결과 10 μg/ml 이상의 농도에서 세포독성능이 나타나기 시작하였다. 2. 사람 태아 성상세포에 IL- 1β를 처리하면 2시간만에 TNF-α mRNA가 최대로 발현되었으며 그 이후로는 점진적으로 감소하였다. 3. 사 람 태아 성상세포를 1 및 0.1 μg/ml의 니코틴으로 전처리한 후 IL-1β로 자극한 군에서는 IL-1β 단독 처리군에 비해 TNF-α mRNA의 발현이 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 1 μg/ml의 니코틴을 처리한 경우에는 8시간 이후부터 TNF-α mRNA의 발현이 현저하게 감소하여 12시간에 최대로 감소하였다. 또한 0.1 μg/ml의 니코틴을 처리한 군에서는 24시간에 가장 현저하게 감소하였다. 4. 성상세포에 IL-1β로 처리한 군에서는 강력한 NF-κB의 활성 을 확인할 수 있었으며, 니코틴을 전처리하고 IL-1β 자극한 군에서는 NF-B의 활성이 감소하였다. 결론적으로 일정농도 이상의 니코틴은 세포독성효과를 나타내나 적정한 농도와 시간 경과후 니코틴은 사람 태아 성상세포에서 IL-1β에 의해 유도되는 TNF-α의 발현 감소를 유도하며, 이는 NF-κB의 활성을 감소시킴으로써 나타난다고 생각된다.

  • Gram-negative septicemia, which continues to be a serious clinical problem, is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Endotoxin of gram-negative bacteria is a pivotal pathogen of sepsis. To understand the effect of endotoxin on hematological aspect and the time course in early childhood, this study was designed with experimental septic model of young rabbits (8 week-old). Rabbits were divided into control (n=7) and endotoxin group (0.50 mg/kg of endotoxin). The endotoxin group was subdivided into six groups by the sampling times: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hr-group (E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{12}$, E-G$_{24}$, E-G$_{48}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$, each n=7). The evaluation of CBC, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen concentration, coagulation factors and D-dimer were taken from the bloods. The number of leukocytes was lower in E-G$_{3}$ and E-G$_{6hrs}$ (due to pantocytopenia), whereas it was higher in E-G$_{24}$ and E-G$_{48}$ (due to neutrophilia and/or lymphophilia) than in control group (P<0.05). Platelet counts in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{12}$, E-G$_{24}$ and E-G$_{48hrs}$ were lower than those of control group (P<0.05). Normoblast counts in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{12}$, E-G$_{24}$ and E-G$_{48hrs}$ were higher than those of control group (p<0.01). APTT in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{12}$, E-G$_{24}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$ were longer while PT in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{48}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$ were higher than those of control group (p<0.05). Fibrinogen concentrations were lower in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$ and E-G$_{12}$ but higher in E-G$_{48}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$ than those of control (p<0.05). Intrinsic coagulation factors (XII, XI, IX, VIII) in all endotoxin groups were significantly lower than those of control group (p<0.05). Extrinsic coagulation factor (X, VII, V, II) were lower in E-G$_{3}$, E-G$_{6}$, E-G$_{12}$ and E-G$_{24hrs}$ whereas they were higher in E-G$_{48}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$ than in control group (p<0.05). D-dimer concentrations in E-G$_{48}$ and E-G$_{72hrs}$ were higher than those of control group (P<0.001). We concluded that endotoxin led to extensive hematological disturbances including disseminated intravascular coagulation in the young rabbits and that this pathologic condition in the infant and childhood groups will cause the grave results.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a basic framework and criteria for evaluation of quality care provided to patients with the attributes of disease in the home care nursing field, and to provide measurement tools for home health care in the future. The study design was a developmental study for evaluation of hospital-based HCN(home care nursing) in Korea. The study process was as follows: a home care nursing study team of College of Nursing. Yonsei University reviewed the nursing records of 47 patients who were enrolled at Yonsei University Medical Center Home Care Center in March, 1995. Twenty-five patients were insured at that time, were selected from 47 patients receiving home care service for study feasibility with six disease groups; Caesarean Section (C/S), simple nephrectomy, Liver cirrhosis(LC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), Lung cancer or cerebrovascular accident(CVA). In this study, the following items were selected : First step : Preliminary study 1. Criteria and items were selected on the basis of related literature on each disease area. 2. Items were identified by home care nurses. 3. A physician in charge reviewed the criteria and content of selected items. 4. Items were revised through preliminary study offered to both HCN patients and discharged patients from the home care center. Second step : Pretest 1. To verify the content of the items, a pretest was conducted with 18 patients of which there were three patients in each of the six selected disease groups. Third step : Test of reliability and validity of tools 1. Using the collected data from 25 patients with either cis, Simple nephrectomy, LC, COPD, Lung cancer, or CVA. the final items were revised through a panel discussion among experts in medical care who were researchers, doctors, or nurses. 2. Reliability and validity of the completed tool were verified with both inpatients and HCN patients in each of field for researches. The study results are as follows: 1. Standard for discharge with HCN referral The referral standard for home care, which included criteria for discharge with HCN referral and criteria leaving the hospital were established. These were developed through content analysis from the results of an open-ended questionnaire to related doctors concerning characteristic for discharge with HCN referral for each of the disease groups. The final criteria was decided by discussion among the researchers. 2. Instrument for measurement of health statusPatient health status was measured pre and post home care by direct observation and interview with an open-ended questionnaire which consisted of 61 items based on Gorden's nursing diagnosis classification. These included seven items on health knowledge and health management, eight items on nutrition and metabolism, three items on elimination, five items on activity and exercise, seven items on perception and cognition, three items on sleep and rest, three items on self-perception, three items on role and interpersonal relations, five items on sexuality and reproduction, five items on coping and stress, four items on value and religion, three items on family. and three items on facilities and environment. 3. Instrument for measurement of self-care The instrument for self-care measurement was classified with scales according to the attributes of the disease. Each scale measured understanding level and practice level by a Yes or No scale. Understanding level was measured by interview but practice level was measured by both observation and interview. Items for self-care measurement included 14 for patients with a CVA, five for women who had a cis, ten for patients with lung cancer, 12 for patients with COPD, five for patients with a simple nephrectomy, and 11 for patients with LC. 4. Record for follow-up management This included (1) OPD visit sheet, (2) ER visit form, (3) complications problem form, (4) readmission sheet. and (5) visit note for others medical centers which included visit date, reason for visit, patient name, caregivers, sex, age, time and cost required for visit, and traffic expenses, that is, there were open-end items that investigated OPD visits, emergency room visits, the problem and solution of complications, readmissions and visits to other medical institution to measure health problems and expenditures during the follow up period. 5. Instrument to measure patients satisfaction The satisfaction measurement instrument by Reisseer(1975) was referred to for the development of a tool to measure patient home care satisfaction. The instrument was an open-ended questionnaire which consisted of 11 domains; treatment, nursing care, information, time consumption, accessibility, rapidity, treatment skill, service relevance, attitude, satisfaction factors, dissatisfaction factors, overall satisfaction about nursing care, and others. In conclusion, Five evaluation instruments were developed for home care nursing. These were (1)standard for discharge with HCN referral. (2)instrument for measurement of health status, (3)instrument for measurement of self-care. (4)record for follow-up management, and (5)instrument to measure patient satisfaction. Also, the five instruments can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the service to assure quality. Further research is needed to increase the reliability and validity of instrument through a community-based HCN evaluation.

  • 관상동맥 질환은 2017년 고령사회로 진입한 우리나라에서 앞으로 더 많은 관심을 가질 것이다. 고령화가 될수록 고혈압, 당뇨 등 복합적인 질환이 합병되어 혈관상태도 상대적으로 더 나빠져 관상동맥 질환에 걸릴 가능성이 높기 때문이다. 심혈관 질병은 심장외과와 심장내과와의 긴밀한 협진이 필요하다. 따라서 협심증이나 심근경색증환자를 먼저 진료하게 되어 있는 우리나라의 임상현장에서 객관적인 심장내과 의사의 치료방침에 대한 판단은 매우 중요하다. 최근 심장내과의 비수술적 중재술이 발전하고 있지만 무리한 스텐트 시술로 의료사고도 발생하고 있다. 특히 관상동맥 3개혈관이 모두 막힌 삼중혈관이거나 석회화가 심해 혈관 상태가 좋지 않은 경우가 문제이다. 또한 심장외과 의사가 없는 병원에서 무리하게 경피적관상동맥중재술을 실시하다가 응급상황이 발생할 경우 관상동맥이식술 등 외과적 대처가 어려운 경우가 종종 발생한다. 최근 2년간 한국소비자원(소비자분쟁조정위원회) 의료분쟁 조정결정 8사례를 분석한 결과, 심장 중재술을 시행한 병원 중 심장외과 의사가 상주한 곳은 2곳으로 확인됐다. 8사례 모두 심장내과 진료 후 풍선확장술 및 스텐트 삽입한 경우로 7명이 사망했고 이중 5명은 시술 당일에 사망했다. 8사례 중에 3중혈관 환자는 5건이고, 나머지도 석회화가 심하거나 완전폐쇄로 혈관상태가 좋지 않은 상태였다. 2017년 심장내과 스텐트 시술 건수 조사 보고에 의하면 3개 이하 약물 방출 스텐트 시술이 98%로 보고됐다. 2015년 스텐트 시술 건수가 38,922건으로 약800건(2%)은 스텐트가 4개 이상 사용된 것으로 추정된다. 무리한 스텐트 시술로 마지막 여명에 급사함으로써 신변정리 기회상실은 물론 여명단축에 따른 손해로서 '지도 설명의무' 책임을 물어 전 손해에 대한 배상을 신중하게 고려할 필요가 있다. 최근 심평원 보험적용 스텐트 시술 개수 제한규제가 없어지면서 무리한 시술과 심장외과 의사 확충에 대한 문제가 있다. '다학제통합진료' 같은 병원차원의 해결방안은 물론 필수요원에 해당하는 심장외과를 공무원으로 확충하는 등 국가차원의 해결방안이 요구된다.

  • Purpose: As basic information of antioxidant treatments for the patient with paraquat intoxication, in human peripheral lymphocytes, the cytotoxicity of paraquat was measured, and to evaluate the antioxidant effect of vitamin C and deferoxamine against this cytotoxicity, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured. Methods: From 10 healthy adults, after obtaining a consent, 20ml peripheral blood was collected. Experimental groups were divided to (1) control group, the group treated with an identical amount of saline, (2) P group: the group treated with paraquat only, (3) PV group: the group treated with paraquat followed by vitamin C 30 minutes later, (4) PD group: the group treated with paraquat followed by deferoxamine 30 minutes later, (5) PVD group: the group treated with paraquat followed by vitamin C 30 minutes later and subsequently deferoxamine one hour later, and (6) PDV group: the group treated with paraquat followed by deferoxamine 30 minutes later and subsequently vitamin C 1 hour later, and thus to total 6 groups. In each group, 10 samples of peripheral blood was assigned and $100{\mu}M\;paraquat,\;100{\mu}M$ vitamin C, and $100{\mu}M$ deferoxamine were used as reagent. Lymphocytes were isolated, cultured, and cytotoxicity was measured by the Microculture Tetrazolium method (MTT assay), MDA and SOD activity, and TAS concentration were measured. Results: In regard to the cytotoxicity measured in each group, their cytotoxicity was decreased in the group treated with antioxidants, in comparison with the group treated with paraquat only. In the cases that the order of the treatment of these two antioxidants was altered, viability in the PDV group $(1.077{\pm}0.121)$ was increased more that the PVD group $(0.888{\pm}0.152)$ statistically significantly (p=0.018). Concerning the amount of MDA, in comparison with the P group $(6.78{\pm}0.93{\mu}mol/L)$, after the treatment of each antioxidant, the concentration of MDA was decreased statistically significantly (p<0.05). In the group treated with two antioxidants together, in comparison with the group treated only with one antioxidant, the amount of MDA was increased statistically significantly $(PV:\;3.96{\pm}0.98{\mu}mol/L,\;PD:\;4.92{\pm}1.50{\mu}mol/L,\;PVD:\;3.22{\pm}0.83{\mu}mol/L,\;and\;PDV:\;3.42{\pm}0.95{\mu}mol/L,\;p=0.007)$. The concentration of SOD measured in the blood in each group after the administration of paraquat, in comparison with the control group, a pattern of the elevation of SOD activity and subsequent decrease was detected, however, it was not statistically significant. In the comparison of the groups treated with antioxidants, in comparison with the P group $(1419.9{\pm}265.9{\mu}mol/L)$, SOD activity was decreased statistically significantly in only the PDV group $(1176.4{\pm}238.9{\mu}mol/L)$ (p=0.017). In regard to TAS measured in each group, in comparison with the P group $(0.87{\pm}0.05{\mu}mol/L)$, in all groups treated with the antioxidants, the PV group was $1.00{\pm}0.03{\mu}mol/L$ (p=0.005), the PD group was $9.01{\pm}0.24{\mu}mol/L$ was $4.64{\pm}3.98{\mu}mol/L$ (P=0.005), and the PDV group was $9.41{\pm}0.27{\mu}mol/La$ (p=0.005), and thus total antioxidant activity was increased statistically significantly In a multiple comparison test, the PDV group showed the highest total antioxidant activity (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The result of the assessment of the antioxidant effect of vitamin C and deferoxamine on paraquat-induced cytotoxicity showed that in regard to cytotoxicity, SOD activity and TAS measurement, the best result was observed in the PDV group. Therefore, it was found that vitamin C and deferoxamine were effective antioxidants for the paraquat-induced cytotoxicity, and it suggests that the administration of deferoxamine followed by vitamin C may improve their antioxidant effect more.

  • Medication is a kind of medical service and a therapeutic nursing function which takes large portion of nursing service and requires complicated procedures. So many different medical personnel should be involved and cooporate each other in order to accomplish medication. Medication is also a vital nursing service, So nurse feels heavy responsibi lity in that she gives medication to the patient finally, so she has much responsibility if medication error is happened. Therefore it seems very important to clarify the problem of medication system and method, and find the subculture of medication situation because it may promote nursing productivity. The study was conducted to 1. Describe and interpret medication situation. 2. Find out the problem of medication system and method and on alternatives. 3. Compare the medication system and method of hospitals which are located in Seoul with object hospital Ethnographic methodology was used to study medication situation by doing participant observation and interview of health care personnel. Ten nurses and three nurse aids were interviewed. Two residents and internists, two phamacists and two accountants were also interviewed. Data was obtained and analized according to Developmental Research Sequence introduced by Spradly. On the basis of this data the results were as follows. 1. The overall flow of medication system was devided into six stage : first, checking doctor's order : second writing doctor's order, : third, transfering slip into the related departments such as account department, pharmacy : fourth, distribution of medication from pharmacy to unit : fifth, identifing medication by nurses : and finally, medicating to the patient. Behaviorors have been under a lot of stress in that they have to do much works, especially paperworks, So too much time were needed. They also have been suffered interpersonal conflicts among health care personnel and role conflicts in the process of doing medication service. 2. In the process of checking order, the problem was that too much time was required for checking order and paperwork. The more the order changes the more the paperwork is. Nurses have been suffering difficulties in calling internist in order to get bill. Even if writing down slip for medication order is doctor's job, Sometimes nurse has been expected to write slip by doctors or nurse would write slip beacuse of two much complexities and efforts for calling doctors. If the slip were incorrect, much time complicated procedures were more required for correcting it. So delay of administering drug would be resulted consequently. Drugs were delivered from pharmacy to units by delivery agent and phamacist. But because drugs were delivered without arranging room number of patient. Nurse should rearrange drugs in order of the room number So it had made waste time and effort, and Even when emergency drugs were needed, Prompt delivery of drug was not easy because of many reasons. For nurses, it took too long in the identification of the right drug. Actually nurses have heavy burden when medication error happens because nurse is the final actor who gives medication to the patient, So every three shift nurse ought to check drugs as soon as every shift begins. That's why it took too much time due to repeated confirming procedure. When nurses had to go patient room in order to give medications, there were difficulties in watching patient until the patient take medicine correctly. So it was impossible to check every patient wheather he took medicine or not especially in hectic situation. 3. There were many hospitals in Seoul which have similar medication system and method as object hospital according to the results of questionaire. This means that many hospitals have been suffering srimilar problems which were identified in object hospital. 4. Recommendations for promoting simplification of medication system and method were the following : Redesigning of slip from two pieces of paper into one : early discharge announcement system, and slip confirming through computer and controlling of period of prescreption from one day to two or three days : designing personal drug storage box for each patient and using it. If nurses follow the recommendations, they will make medication short & simple, and also have enough time of direct nursing care 5. Even though there were many difficulties in medicating patients. Medication itself has been considered as a caring among nurses because it makes rapport between nurse and patient. So nurses had better accept medication as a portion of nusing service not a original portion of phamacist. There are some limits in this research in terms of confining to only one unit of one hospital, and treating it especially in view of nurses' aspects, So further researchs should be continnued from various kmds of viewpoints of doctors, phamacists and so on. ${\cdot\cdot\cdot}$. Especially esthnographic study of computerized medication system and method seems to be followed.

  • COVID-19가 순식간에 세계적으로 퍼져나가면서 이 바이러스에 대한 치료제 및 백신에 대한 연구 개발 이슈가 뜨겁다. 그 중에서도 렘데시비르(Remdesivir)가 가장 먼저 눈에 띄는 치료효과를 나타내며 본격적인 임상시험에 돌입하였고, 각 국가들은 긴급 승인을 통해 해당 의약품의 사용을 허가하고 있다. 그런데 렘데시비르의 개발사인 주식회사 길리어드는 렘데시비르를 희귀의약품으로 품목허가 신청하여 시민단체들로부터 많은 질타를 받았다. 그 이유는 희귀의약품으로 신약이 품목허가를 취득하는 경우 7년의 독점적 지위를 부여받을 수 있기 때문이다. 희귀의약품에게 장기간 동안 독점적 지위를 부여하는 것은 희귀질환으로 고생하는 환자들에게 치료기회를 부여하기 위해 제약회사에게 개발 동기를 부여하는 정책적 취지로부터 나온 것으로, 감염병 치료제에 적용하기에는 적절하지 않았기 때문이다. 본 논문은 이러한 정책적 의도를 바탕으로 의약품에 독점적 지위를 부여하고 있는 법령에 대하여 미국, 유럽, 일본을 상대로 비교법적 고찰을 통해 국내 제도의 문제점 및 개선 방향에 대해 살펴보는 내용을 담고 있다. 국내 제도는 독점적 지위 부여 방식에 있어 법령에 명시적인 조항을 두고 있지 않고, 재심사제도를 활용하여 우회적으로 독점적 지위를 부여하고 있다는 근본적인 문제를 갖고 있다. 이와 더불어 희귀의약품의 경우 「희귀질환관리법」과 「의약품의 품목허가·신고 심사 규정」에서 중복적으로 재심사기간을 규정하고 있다는 점, 상대적으로 독점기간을 길게 부여하고 있음에도 불구하고 사정변경 발생 시 독점적 지위를 회수할 수 있는 견제 조항이 존재하지 않는다는 점 등이 보완되어야 할 부분으로 보인다. 생물의약품의 경우에는 국내에는 우회적으로라도 의약품의 독점적 지위를 부여할 수 있는 규정이 존재하지 않는다. 생물의약품의 경우 특허를 받기 어렵다는 점에서, 독점권을 부여하는 것이 의약품 개발을 유도하는 큰 동기가 될 수 있음에도 이러한 조항이 없다는 점은 국내 법제의 아쉬운 점이라 볼 수 있다. 미국의 경우 최초의 동등생물의약품에도 1년의 독점기간을 부여한다는 점에 비추어 볼 때, 국내 법제는 생물의약품에 독점적 지위를 부여하는 것에 대하여 상당히 엄격하게 제한하고 있다고 해석된다. 이는 추후 국내 제약사의 생물의약품 개발 의지를 저하시킬 수 있다는 점에서, 또한 국제 규제의 조화를 맞출 필요가 있다는 점에서 국내 제도의 개선의 필요성이 인정된다 할 것이다. COVID-19의 발현을 기회로 삼아, 의약품에 독점권을 부여하고 있는 국내 제도가 가지고 있는 문제점에 대하여 다시 한 번 살펴보고, 통일된 법적 근거를 마련할 수 있도록 관련 법제에 대한 전반적인 개정이 이루어 질 것을 기대해보는 바이다.
