In this study, after measuring polarization characteristics of 97.3 wt% Ag, Au-Coated 97.3 wt% Ag (ACA) and 100 wt% Au wires in 1 wt% H₂SO₄ and 1 wt% HCl electrolytes at 25 ℃, corrosion rate and corrosion characteristics were comparatively analyzed. Comparing corrosion potential (E_CORR) values in sulfuric acid solution, ACA wire had more than six times higher E_CORR value than Au wire. Thus, it seems possible to use a broad applied voltage range of bonding wire for semiconductor packaging which ACA wire could be substituted for the Au wire. However, since the E_CORR value of ACA wire was three times lower than that of the Au wire in a hydrochloric acid solution, it was judged that the use range of the applied voltage and current of the bonding wire should be considered. In hydrochloric acid solution, 97.3 wt% Ag wire showed the highest corrosion rate, while ACA and Au showed similar corrosion rates. Additionally, in the case of sulfuric acid solution, all three types showed lower corrosion rates than those under the hydrochloric acid solution environment. The corrosion rate was higher in the order of 97.3 wt% Ag > ACA > 100 wt% Au wires.

The objective of this study was to identify mutations in the quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA, gyrB, parC and parE genes, and the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes: qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6')-lb-cr and qepA in 40 nalidixic acid- resistant ($NA^R$) Salmonella isolates isolated from poultry slaughterhouse. The MIC of NA and ciprofloxacin for 40 $NA^R$ Salmonella isolates was $128{\sim}512{\mu}g/mL$ and < $0.125{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The Salmonella isolates were resistant to NA (100%), gentamicin (5.0%) and ampicillin (2.5%). All $NA^R$ Salmonella isolates represented point mutation in codons Aspartic acid(Asp)-87 (90%) and Serine(Ser)-83 (10%) of QRDR of gyrA gene: $Asp87{\rightarrow}glycine$, $Ser83{\rightarrow}tyrosine$. No mutations were observed in QRDR of the gyrB, parC and parE gene. Moreover PMQR genes was not found in any of the tested isolates. Our findings showed that DNA gyrase is the primary target of quinolone resistance and a single mutation in codon Asp87 and Ser83 of the gyrA gene can confer resistance to NA and reduced susceptibility ciprofloxacin in Salmonella isolates.

Purpose : This study aimed to identify intensive care units (ICU) nurses' experience of traumatic events, deliberate rumination, self-disclosure, social support, and post-traumatic growth (PTG), and to explore relationships among the variables. Methods : Participants were 157 nurses who have provided direct patient care for six months or more in ICUs at a university hospital. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regressions using the SPSS/WIN version 23.0. Results : The PTG was found to be significantly associated with deliberate rumination (r=0.36, p<.001), self-disclosure (r=0.39, p<.001), and social support (r=0.54, p<.001). Factors that affect PTG significantly were found in the order of social support (𝛽=0.40, p<.001), self-disclosure (𝛽=0.25, p<.001), and deliberate rumination (𝛽=0.24, p<.001). The final regression model explained 40.1% of the variance of PTG (F=26.33, p<.001). Conclusion : The influencing factors identified in this study on PTG, including social support, self-disclosure, and deliberate rumination should be included in programs to promote PTG for ICU nurses who may experience traumatic events repeatedly.

Currently, molecular diagnostic assays based on nucleic acid amplification tests have been shown to effectively detect mycobacterial infections in various types of specimen, however, variable sensitivity was shown in FFPE samples according to the kind of commercial kit used. The present study therefore used automated PCR-reverse blot hybridization assay (REBA) system, REBA Myco-ID HybREAD 480^®, for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium species in various types of human tissue and compared the conventional one-tube nested-PCR assay for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). In conventional nested-PCR tests, 25 samples (48%) were MTB positive and 27 samples (52%) were negative. In contrast, when conducted PCR-REBA assay, 11 samples (21%) were MTB positive, 20 samples (39%) were NTM positive, 8 samples (15%) were MTB-NTM double positive, and 13 samples (25%) were negative. To determine the accuracy and reliability of the two molecular diagnostic tests, the one-tube nested-PCR and PCR-REBA assays, were compared with histopathological diagnosis in discordant samples. When conducted nested-PCR assay, 10 samples (59%) were MTB positive and seven samples (41%) were negative. In contrast, when conducted PCR-REBA test, three samples (17%) were MTB positive, 10 samples (59%) were NTM positive and four samples (24%) were negative. In conclusion, the automated PCR-REBA system proved useful to identify Mycobacterium species more rapidly and with higher sensitivity and specificity than the conventional molecular assay, one-tube nested-PCR; it might therefore be the most suitable tool for identifying Mycobacterium species in various types of human tissue for precise and accurate diagnosis of mycobacterial infection.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of brucellosis in Korean native cattle in a farm where bovine brucellosis was confirmed 3 times from September 2006 to March 2007. Of 74 bulls serum samples examined, 21 (28.4%) were positive by Rose-Bengal test (RBT) and Standard tube agglutination test (STAT). In the isolation test from seropositive bulls, B abortus was isolated and identified from 2 specimens (testis, intestinal lymph node) among 6 kinds of specimens including blood, urine, feces and soil. Isolation rate of intestinal lymph node and testis was 25% (3/12 cases) and 16.7% (2/12), respectively. B abortus was also isolated from calves below 12 months old, i.e., 1 isolate (25.0%) was confirmed from testis, 4 (40.0%) from supra-mammary lymph nodes and 1 (25.0%) from intestinal lymph node. All isolates had Brucella specific 16s r-RNA with 905-bp band detected by PCR assay. For the more effective control of bovine brucellosis in korea, this paper would like to suggest that all of bulls and calves should be included in the screening tests.

내분비장애 추정물질의 분류를 위해 많은 시험법이 연구되고 있는데 추후 내분비장애 추정물질로 분류된 기등록 농약에 대한 자료요구 또는 신규 등록농약에 대한 등록기준의 추가 등을 고려하여 OECD와 EPA에서 권장하는 시험법을 확립하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 시험약제를 30일간 경구 투여하여 조사한 결과, alachlor 투여 수컷에서 25 mg/kg/day, 50 mg/kg/day에서 고환과 갑성선의 중량이 증가하였다. Alachlor 투여 암컷에서는 질의 중량이 25, 50 mg/kg/day에서 감소하였고 25 mg/kg/day에서 갑상선의 중량이 감소하였다. Alachlor 투여 암컷 25, 50 mg/kg/day에서 주요 갑상선 호르몬인 T4와 성호르몬 testosterone이 감소하였다. 따라서 pubertal assay 결과 alachlor는 갑상선 호르몬성 영향이 의심되었다. 시험세포를 이용한 시험 결과, 시험약제를 1 nM에서 1000 nM까지 처리하였을 때 음성대조군과 비교하여 alachlor는 100-134%의 갑상선 호르몬성 영향을 나타내었다. 따라서 세포를 이용한 시험에서는 alachlor에 의한 갑상선 호르몬성 영향이 나타나는 것으로 판단되었다. 항갑상선 호르몬성 영향 시험에서는 시험약제 100 nM과 T4의 혼합 처리시 alachlor는 항갑상선 호르몬성 영향은 나타나지 않았다.
