The purpose of this study is to investigate factors related to the intent of using home nursing of chronic disease patients who got out of a university hospital. For the purpose, the study selected 153 patients who were hospitalized and left K university hospital with diagnoses of cancer, hypertension, diabetes and cerebral vascular accident and ordered to be discharged and performed interviews with them and surveys on their medical records to obtain the following results. For this study a direct-interview survey and medical record review was conducted from June 28 to Aug. 30, 1998. The frequency and mean values were computed to find the characteristics of the study subjects, and $X^2$-test, t-test, factor analysis and multiple logistic regession analysis were applied for the analysis of the data. The following results were obtained. 1) When characteristics of the subjects were examined, men and women occupied for 58.8% and 41.2%, respectively. The subjects were 41.3 years old in aver age and had the monthly aver age earning of 0.99 million won or below, which was the most out of the total subjects at 34.6%. Among the total, 87.6% resided in cities and 12.4 in counties. The most left the hospital with diagnosis of cancer at 51.6%, followed by hyper tension at 24.2%, diabetes at 13.7% and cerebral vascular accident at 7.2%. 2) 93.5% of the selected patients had the intent of using home nursing and 6.5%, didn't. Among those patients having the intent, 85.6% had the intent of paying for home nursing and 14.4%, didn't. The subjects expected that the nursing would be paid 9,143 won in aver age and 47.7% of them preferred national authorities as the main servers. 86.3% of the subjects thought that home nursing business had the main advantage of making it possible to learn nursing methods at home and thereby contributing to improving the ability of patients and their facilities to solve health problems. 3) Relations between the intent of use and characteristics of the subjects such as demography-related social, home environment, disease and physical function characteristics did not show statistically significant differences among one another. Compared to those who had no intent of using home nursing, the group having the intent had more cases of male patients, the age of 39 or below, residence in cities, 5 family member s or more, no existence of home nursing servers, leaving the hospital from a non-hospitalized building, disease development for five months or below, hospitalization for ten days or more, non-hospitalization with in the recent one month, two times or over of hospitalization, leaving the hospital with no demand of special treatment, operation underwent, poor results of treatment, leaving the hospital with demand of rehabilitation services, physical disablement and high evaluation point of daily life. 4) Among those patients having the intent of using home nursing, 47.6% demanded technical nursing and 55.9%, supportive nursing. As technical nursing,' inject into a blood vessel ' and 'treat pustule and teach basic prevention methods occupied for 57.4%, respectively, topping the list. Among demands of supportive nursing, 'observe patients 'status and refer them to hospitals or community resources as available, if necessary' was the most with percent age point of 59.5. Regarding the intent of paying for home nursing, 39.2% of those patients wishing to use the nursing responded paying for technical services and 20.2, supportive services. In detail, 70.0% wanted to pay for a service stated as 'inject into a blood vessel', highest among the former services and 30.7%, a service referred to as 'teaching exercises needed to make the body of patients move', highest among the latter. When this was analyzed in terms of a relation between the need(the need for home nursing) and the demand(the intent of paying for home nursing), The rate of the need to the demand was found two or three times higher in technical nursing(0.82) than in supportive nursing(0.35). In aspects of tech ical nursing, muscle injection(1.26, the 1st rank) was highest in the rate while among aspects of supportive nursing, a service referred to as 'teach exercises needed for making patients move their bodies normally'(0.58, the 1st rank). 5) factors I(satisfaction with hospital services), II(recognition of disease state), III(economy) and IV(period of disease) occupied for 34.4, 13.8, 11.9 and 9.2 percents, respectively among factors related to the intent by the subjects of using home nursing, totaled 59.3%. In conclusion, most of chronic disease patients have the intent of using hospital-based home nursing and satisfaction with hospital services is a factor affecting the intent most. Thus a post-management system is needed to continue providing health management to those patients after they leave the hospital. Further, supportive services should be provided in order that those who are satisfied with hospital services return to their community and live their in dependent lives. Based on these results, the researcher would make the following recommendation. 1) Because home nursing becomes more and more needed due to a sharp increase in chronic disease patients and elderly people, related rules and regulations should be made and implemented. 2) Hospital nurses specializing in home nursing should be cultivated.

연구배경 : 자연 기흉은 기저 질환이 없는 건강한 사람에서 발생하는 원발성 자연 기흉과, 결핵이나 만성폐쇄성 폐질환에서 발생하는 속발성 자연기흉으로 나뉘어지며, 자연 기흉에 대한 치료는 다양하지만 흔히 흉관 삽입을 우선적으로 고려하고 있다. 흉관삽입법은 특별한 술식과 삽입시 통증, 피하기종, 감염 등의 합병증이 문제되는 바 본 저자들은 흉관에 비해 직경이 훨씬 작은 8 French 도관을 자연 기흉의 치료에 적용했을 때 단기적인 치료 효과가 있음을 이전 연구에서 확인한 바 있다. 본 연구는 의인성 기흉의 치료에 이용되어져 왔던 작은 직경의 도관을 자연 기흉의 치료에 적용하였을 때, 치료 성공후 추적관찰을 통하여 재발율을 조사하여 장기적인 치료적 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 1990년 1월부터 1996년 1월까지 중앙대학교 부속병원 내과와 흉부외과에서 8 French 도관 또는 흉관 삽입법으로 치료받은 원발성 또는 속발성 자연 기흉 환자 62명을 대상으로 하였으며 이들은 기흉의 크기가 가 25% 이상, 기흉의 크기에 관계없이 호흡곤란이나 흉통이 발생하였을 때, 기흉의 크기가 증가할 때, 다시 재발한 자연 기흉 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 긴장성 기흉, 혈흉, 화학적 흉막유착술이나 흉강경하 기포절제술을 한 경우는 대상에서 제외되었다. 임상특성(성별, 연령별, 과거 기흉의 유무, 기흉의 크기, 기저 질환의 유무)을 조사하고 합병증, 유치기간, 의무기록이나 개인적 접촉을 통하여 관찰 후 재발율을 비교 분석 하였다. 결과 : 8 French 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군의 추적 관찰기간의 중앙값은 각각 28개월, 22개월로 양군간에 유의한 차이를 보이고 있지 않았다. 8 French 도관 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군의 대상환자들의 임상적 특성-성별, 연령별, 기저 질환의 유무, 기흉의 크기의 분포에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 원발성 및 속발성을 포함한 자연 기흉을 대상으로 비교한 결과, 도관 또는 흉관의 유치기간은 8 French 도관 삽입군이 $6.2{\pm}3.8$일로 흉관삽입군의 $9.1{\pm}7.5$일에 비해 유의하게 짧았다(p=0.047). 원발성 자연 기흉을 대상으로 두군을 비교하여, 8 French 도관 삽입군의 치료와 관련된 합병증은 6.25%로 흉관삽입군의 23.8%에 비해 더 적은 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다(0.041 ; one-tailed, p=0.053, two-tailed). 8 French 도관 삽입군과 흉관 삽입군에서 재발율에 있어서는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 원발성 또는 속발성 자연 기흉에 대한 치료로 지금까지의 흉관삽입법에 대하여 더 작은 직경의 도관을 삽입하여 치료에 의한 합병증의 빈도를 줄이면서, 치료기간을 줄이고 장기적인 재발을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 더 많은 환자를 대상으로하여 전향적인 연구가 앞으로 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

게이트 심장 혈액풀 스캔(Gated cardiac blood pool scan, MUGA)은 좌심실의 기능을 평가하는 데 유용한 검사로 심근독성 항암제를 투여 받는 환자에서 심박출 계수(Ejection Fraction, EF)를 추적, 감시하는데 이용되어 많은 검사가 시행되고 있다. EF를 산출하기 위해 좌전사위상(Left Anterior Oblique, LAO)에서 좌우 심실이 분리되도록 각도를 조절해야 하는데 이때 LAO 각도의 설정은 정량분석 값에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있어, 이에 본 연구는 LAO 각도의 변화가 정량분석 값에 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 한다. 2011년 06월부터 09월까지 본원에서 MUGA 검사를 시행한 환자 49명(남 8명, 여 41명)을 대상으로 하였다. 먼저 최적 중격상(Best septal view)으로 촬영 후, 전면과 측면 측으로 LAO 각도를 가감하여 총 3회 촬영하였다. ${\pm}5^{\circ}$로 환자 20명, ${\pm}10^{\circ}$로 29명을 촬영하였고, 관심영역을 자동 및 수동으로 각각 설정하여 좌심실의 EF와 확장기말계수, 수축기말계수를 비교하였다. 먼저 관심영역을 자동으로 분석하였을 때, ${\pm}5^{\circ}$의 경우, LAO, LAO $-5^{\circ}$, LAO $+5^{\circ}$에서의 EF의 평균값은 각각 $61.0{\pm}7.5%$, $62.1{\pm}7.1%$, $60.9{\pm}6.7%$ ($p$=0.841)이었고, 이때의 확장기말계수, 수축기말계수 역시 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다($p$<0.05). ${\pm}10^{\circ}$의 경우, EF의 평균값은 각각 $62.4{\pm}9.54%$, $62.3{\pm}10.8%$, $61.6{\pm}9.3%$ ($p$=0.938)이었고, 이때의 확장기말계수, 수축기말계수 역시 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다($p$<0.05). 또한 관심영역을 수동으로 분석하였을 때, ${\pm}5^{\circ}$의 경우, EF의 평균값은 각각 $62.8{\pm}7.1%$, $63.6{\pm}7.5%$, $62.7{\pm}7.3%$ ($p$=0.903)이었고, 이때의 확장기말계수, 수축기말계수 역시 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다($p$<0.05). ${\pm}10^{\circ}$의 경우, EF의 평균값은 각각 $65.5{\pm}9.0%$, $66.3{\pm}8.7%$, $63.5{\pm}9.3%$ ($p$=0.473)이었고, 이때의 확장기말계수, 수축기말계수 역시 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다($p$<0.05). 최적 중격상을 기준으로 하였을 경우, ${\pm}5{\sim}10^{\circ}$의 영상의 차이는 EF에 유의한 변화를 주지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 다만 최적 중격상에서 벗어난 영상은 좌심실의 벽 운동 등과 같은 심장의 운동상태를 정성적으로 평가함에 있어서 판독자에 따라 편차가 발생할 수 있으므로 주의해야 할 것이다.

Tongue cancer는 혀에 생기는 악성종양으로 전체 암의 1.8%, oral cancer의 75%를 차지할 정도로 발생 빈도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있으며 초기 진단, 전이유무, 병기설정 등을 위해 PET/CT 검사를 실시하고 있다. Tongue cancer 환자의 PET/CT 검사 시 close mouth 상태로 Torso를 촬영하고 있으며 그에 따른 겹침이나 인공물의 영향으로 병소부위가 명확히 관찰되지 않는 경우가 발생되었다. 이에 open mouth로 PET/CT 검사 시 발생되는 변화와 그에 따른 유용성을 알아 보고자 한다. 20명의 환자(남 15명, 여 5명)를 대상으로 시행하였으며 먼저 close mouth 상태로 Torso 촬영 후 open mouth 상태로 1bed 추가 촬영하였다. Tumor(T), Normal Tongue(NT), Lymph Node(LN)에 관심영역을 설정하여 표준화섭취계수(standardized uptake value, SUV) $SUV_{mean}$, $SUV_{max}$를 측정하여 Background(Carotid artery) SUV를 빼주었다. Tumor size 변화를 측정하였으며 육안적 영상 해상도 평가는 blind test를 진행하였다. 비모수검정(wilcoxon signed rank test)을 통해 통계 분석하였다. Tumor에서 SUV는 open mouth 검사 시 증가하는 변화를 보였으며, normal tongue과 lymph node에서는 소폭의 변화가 있었으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. tumor size 변화와 blind test를 통해 전체적으로 비슷하거나 높은 영상 해상도를 보여주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Open mouth PET/CT 검사가 close mouth시 발생하는 문제점에 대한 완벽한 대안법이 될 수는 없지만 open mouth를 통해 구강 내 다른 구조물과의 겹침이나 tumor의 경계면을 조금 더 명확하게 관찰할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

As recent developments of Immunology and Nuclear medicine, serum IgE and IgG values are helpful in the diagnosis and evaluation of the therapeutic effects of nasal allergies. But in Korea, air pollution and the increased use of food additives have become leading factors in nasal allergies, It seems to be induced by environmental change, especially industrialization and urbanization, so allergic rhinitis in our environment has changed in accordance with the changes made in the living environment. Therefore this study is attempted in order to observe a clinical analysis which places more importance on allergic rhinitis. We studied 200 patients who had visited Kyunghee Oriental Medical Center with allergic rhinitis from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999 The results were as follows: 1. The sex distribution was 114 males(57%) and 86 females(43%). In age distribution, the average age was 25. In males, ages ranged from 3 to 66 years old and the average was 23.81. In females, ages ranged from 4 to 67 years old and the average was 28.57. The peak age was 30～39 years old(24%); under 9 years old and 10～19 years old were each 18%; 20～29 years old was 22%; 40～49 years old was 11 %; over 50 years old 6.5%. The gulf between males and females showed a statistically significant difference(P<0.025). 2. In the age of onset, male' s maximum was 62.5, minimum was 0.25; female s maximum was 59.5, minimum was 0.2. Under 9 years old was the most with 34%(male 24%, female 10%), 10～19 years old was 18%, 20～29 years old was 22.5%, 30～39 years old was 13.50%, over 40 years old was 12%, The gulf between males and females were showed statistically significant difference.(p<0.014) 3. The average duration of the disease was 5.67 years. In male and female, the maximum was 30, the minimum was 0.05; under 5 years old was the most with 62%(male 34.50%, female 27.50%); 6～10 years old was 23%. So, under 10 years old was 85%. There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of disease. 4. Regarding type of residence, 47.50% of patients with allergic rhinitis lived in apartments, 52.50% lived in houses. In males, 29.50% lived in apartments, 27.50% lived in houses. In females, 18% lived in apartments, 25% lived in houses. There was no statistically significant difference in the residence by T-test and chi-test. 5. In the distribution of season, spring is the most with 29.5% of patients, winter 28%, fall 25.5%, and summer 17%. But there was no statistically significant difference. 6. After observing 200 patients with allergic rhinitis, classifying main symptoms into 5 types, sneezing was the main symptom in 177cases(88.50%), nasal obstruction in 176cases(88%), rhinorrhea in 169cases(84.5%), post nasal discharge in 87cases(43.50%), and itching in I04cases(52%). The Cumulus ration is 98.50% and symptoms overlapped with an average 3.57±0.1 times but in an analysis of variance of these symptoms, the gulf between males and females was not recognized as statistically significant by T-test and ANOVA. 7. Patients whose families have allergic diseases account for 90 cases(45%) : 49cases(24.50%) male and 41cases(20.50%) female. There were 4 cases (71.11 %) whose families have allergic rhinitis, 9cases(10%) of asthma, and 7.78% with allergic dermatitis. There were 61 (67.80%) cases of patients whose parents have allergic diseases; cases wherein the patient s child had allergic diseases numbered 13 (14.45%); and cases with a sibling with allergic diseases totalled 16cases (17.80%). There was no statistically significant difference in allergic disease regarding sex, parents, or siblings by chi-test. 8. Blood type: For males, type A is the most common, with 37cases(18.5%), followed by type B with 32cases(16%), type O 28cases(l4%) and type AB 13cases(6.5%). For females, type B is the most common, with 30cases(15%), followed by type O with 23cases(l1.5%), type A with 18cases(9%) and type AB with 13cases(6.5%). There was no statistically significant difference in blood type by chi-test. 9. In the selection of prefered food, most patients prefer cool food, with 98 such cases(49%), tepid food in 54cases(27%) and warm food in 48cases(24%). These showed a statistically significant difference in the selection of prefered food between males and females by chi-test(p<0.009). 10. The state of Past History was classified into II types. chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is the most common with 11cases (18.64%), tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy is 8cases(l3.56%), sinusitis is 6cases(10.17%), nasal septum deviation is 4cases, nasal polyp is 2cases, others are 10cases(l6.95%). No statistically significant difference in past history between males and females was shown, but a statistically significant difference was shown when males and females were compared with total cases by T-test(p<0.002, P<0.0008). 11. Regarding complications, 37 patients (28.91%) had sinusitis: 22cases(17.19%) in male, 15cases(11.72%) in female. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis was found in 15cases(11.72%). Others are under 10%. There was no statistically significant difference in the type of complications between males and females, but a statistically significant difference was shown when males and females were compared with total cases by T-test(P<0.00l, P<0.007). 12. In the treatment, medication was used 1691 times, an average of 2.58 times. No.34 was used 370 times for 124 cases, an average of 2.98 times. No. 152 was used 318 times for 106 cases, an average of 3.00 times. No.151 was used 307 times for 97cases, an average of 3.16 times. No. 31 was used 117 times for 33 cases, an average of 3.55 times. No 25 was used 116 times for 33 cases, an average of 3.52 times. 13. In the duration of treatment, the most frequent is 1 week(69cases, 34.50%), the maximum is 20weeks, and the minimum is 1week. A treatment period of 2～3 weeks accounted for 32% of cases, a period of 4～5weeks accounted for 13.5%. The gulf between males and females showed a statistically significant difference in the duration of treatment.(p<0.01). There was a statistical significance when the males were compared with total cases by ANOVA(P<0.03). 14. A comparison between before-treatment and after-treatment showed a statistically significant difference in treatment by T-test (p<0.01) and F-test (p<0.0058).

목적 : MnPC의 자기이완성질을 살펴보고, 토끼의 간에 이식한 VX2 암종을 이용해 자기공명영상에서 간의 조영증강형태를 관찰하고자하였다. 또한 간세포 특이성 조영제 사용 시와 비교하여 MnPC의 조직특이성 조영제로서의 가능성을 탐색해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 조영제 합성시 상자성 원소의 배위자로 phthalocyanine(PC)를 선택하였다. 2.01 g (5.2 mmol)의 phthalocyanine을 0.37g(1.4 mmol)의 manganese chloride와 $310^{\circ}C$에서 36시간동안 반응시킨 후 혼합물을 크로마토그래피 (CHC13: CH3OH=98:2, volume ratio)로 정제하여 2000 달톤의 분자량을 갖는 1.04 g $(46\%)$의 MnPC를 얻었다. 자기이완율은 MnPC를 0.1 mmol로 희석시켜 1.5 T (64 MHz)에서 측정하였다. VX2 암종은 토끼의 간실질 내에 종양세포 부유액을 주입해 실험적으로 유발시켰다. 모든 영상은 1.5 T MR장비에서 무릎관절코일을 사용하여 획득하였다. 본 연구에서 새로 개발된 거대분자 자기공명영상 조영제인 MnPC (4m-mol/kg)와 간세포 특이성 조영제인 Mn-DPDP (0.01 mmol/kg)가 사용되었으며 이들 조영제는 토끼의 이정맥을 통해 주입되었다. T1 강조영상은 스핀에코 (TR/TE=516/14 msec)와 고속다면회손경사회복 (TR/TE=80/4 m-sec, flip angle $60^{\circ}$)을 사용하여 얻었고, T2 강조영상의 획득을 위해서는 고속스핀에코 (TR/TE=1200/85 m-sec)를 사용하였다. 결과 MnPC의 1.5T (64MHz)에서의 자기이완율은 $R1=7.28\;mM^{-1}S^{-1}$, $R2=55.56\;mM^{-1}S^{-1}$ 이었고, MnPC의 높은 T2 자기이완율은 T2 강조영상에서의 정상 간실질의 신호강도를 감소시켜 간실질과 VX2 암종의 구분을 쉽게 하였다. MnPC 주입시 T1 강조영상에서는 간세포 특이성 조영제의 주입시보다 종양의 경계가 명확하였고, 조영증강은 주입후 최소한시간 이상 높게 유지되었다. 결론 : MnPC가 간세포로 흡수되어 담관으로 배설된다는 사실은 Mn-DPDP와 유사한 특성이며 이는 MnPC가 새로운 간특이성 조영제임을 확인시켜 준다. 또한 MnPC의 R2값이 기존의 조영제에 비해 매우 크다는 사실은 T1 조영제로서 뿐만 아니라 T2 조영제로서의 사용 가능성을 보여준다. 이러한 사실들을 좀더 정확하게 뒷받침하기 위해서는 임상적으로 사용되기 이전에 생체 내 그리고 시험관내 연구가 더 필요하며 다른 동물모델에서의 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.

The purposes of this study were to offer foundation making more certain standards of musculoskeletal disorder diagnosis, We researched musculoskeletal symptoms degrees, frequencies, and cares and then examined relation between musculoskeletal symptoms and diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions using moire topography among workers at an automobile manufacturing plant. Therefore we propose the possibility of moire topography as diagnosing utilities of musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: This study was to examine the general characteristics, complaints of musculoskeletal symptoms, and work-related musculoskeletal disorder rates of cervicobrachial and lumbar area by survey among 435 workers at an automobile manufacturing plant and then to show each frequency and percentage, In the diagnosis using moire topography, we studied pain control necessity of cervicobrachial and lumbar area, 435 subjects were classified by 5 levels: A(no symptoms), B(need management), C(need treatment) and then more divided by B1(light symptoms)/B2(heavy symptoms), C1(light symptoms)/C2(heavy symptoms), And musculoskeletal areas were divided by 2 parts, cervicobrachial area(neck, shoulder, arm&elbow, and wrist&hand) and lumbar area, Then, frequency and percentage of each musculoskeletal areas(cervicobrachial and lumbar area) were appeared. At last, Pearson's chi-square test analysis was utilized to observe the relation between diagnosis using moire topography and general characteristics and the relation between diagnosis using moire topography and work-related complaint of musculoskeletal symptoms of cervicobrachial and lumbar area, Results: The subjects employed for this research were categorized into; by gender, all of them were males(l00%): by age, under 35 years 12 %, 36-40 years 56.3%, 41-45 years 26.3 %, and above 46 years 5.3% with 36-40 years accounting for most of it. By living location, owned houses represented 69.7%, rented houses 23.4%, monthly-rented 1.6%, the others 5.3%; by education, middle school and lower represented 3.0%, high school 89.4%, and junior college and higher 7.6% with high school occupying most of the group. By marital status, married represented 95.2%, unmarried 4.1%, and the others 0.7% with most of them married; by alcohol, drinking represented 81.8% and non-drinking 18.2%; by smoking status, smoking represented 53.6%, non-smoking 46.4% with no big difference between them. By working time(hours/week), below 50 represented 26.9%, 50-60 67.6%, above 60 5.5%; by working time(hours/day), below 9 represented 21.6%, 10-12 73.1%, above 13 5.3%; by job tenure(years), below 10 represented 25.1%, 11-15 54.3%, 16-20 15.2%, above 21 5.5%. By personal income per year, below 30 million won represented 11.0%, 30-40 84.8%, above 40 4.1%; by sleeping hours, below 6 hours represented 26.7%, 7-8 hours 69.9%, above 9 hours 3.4%. Complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms and work-related musculoskeletal disorder rates were 63.9% and 54.9% with shoulder area occupying most of both them. By pain degree of musculoskeletal symptoms, shoulder area represented $2.73{\pm}0.84$, lumbar area $2.66{\pm}0.86$, wrist and hand area $2.59{\pm}0.86$, neck area $2.55{\pm}0.74$, and arm and elbow area $2.48{\pm}0.71$. By cares about musculoskeletal symptoms, taking medication or care represented 34.4%-46.7%, absence or leave 15.4%-28.7%, and job transfer 6.3%-11.5%. So experienced cases more than one thing among cares about musculoskeletal symptoms represented 39.6%-54%. In the diagnosis using moire topography, pain control necessity of cervicobrachial area was shown below; A(no symptoms) 20.7%, B1(need management/light symptoms) 64.6%, B2(need management/heavy symptoms) 11.5%, C1(need treatment/light symptoms) 3.0%, C2(need treatment/heavy symptoms) 0.2%. By lumbar area, A(no symptoms) 8.7%, B1(need management/light symptoms) 52.2%, B2(need management/heavy symptoms) 30.3%, C1(need treatment/light symptoms) 8.7%, C2(need treatment/heavy symptoms) was none. In the relation between pain control necessity and general characteristics, age(P=0.013), education(P=0.000), and job tenure(P=0.012) with pain control necessity showed differences with significance. The relation between pain control necessity and complaint of musculoskeletal symptoms of cervicobrachial and lumbar area showed no difference with significance; in cervicobrachial area represented P=0.708, lumbar area P=0.318 Conclusions: This study for musculoskeletal symptoms on workers at automobile manufacturing plant showed that complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms for cervicobrachial and lumbar area were so high, 63.9%. But Pearson's chi-square test analysis was utilized to study the relation between musculoskeletal symptoms and the diagnosis using moire topography, showed no differences with significance. They have no differences with significance, but the prevalence rates of diagnosis using moire topography for cervicobrachial and lumbar area were more higher than complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms; complaint rates of musculoskeletal symptoms were 52.4%, 34.5% and the diagnosis using moire topography were 79.3%, 91.3% for cervicobrachial and lumbar area. The results of this study indicate that the diagnosis using moire topography can find weak musculoskeletal disorders that an individual can not feel, not be judged work-related musculoskeletal disease. Therefore, this study has an important meaning that diagnosis using moire topography can predict and control own physical condition complete musculoskeletal disorders beforehand, since oriental medicine theory considers that prevention is important.

연구배경 : 기관지 천식등과 같은 만성 기도질환의 병태생리는 점액의 과분비, 배상세포의 과형성, 평활근의 비후와 호산구등의 염증세포의 침윤등으로 설명되고 있다. 배상세포의 증식에 대한 생화학적 기전은 이러한 양상을 만드는데 필요한 시간이 길고, 기도염증과 연관된 매우 복잡함 때문에 아직 잘 알려지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 저자들은 배상세포증식과 기도염증의 상관성을 알고자 그 첫 단계로 백서의 기관을 통한 $TiO_2$의 주입으로 단시간 내에 형성되는 배상세포증식의 동물 모형을 만들어 기도내 주로 어느 부위에서 배상세포의 과형성이 나타나는지 관찰하고 염증세포의 침윤 여부 및 dexamethasone 이 과형성된 배상세포 및 침윤된 염증세포에 대해 영향을 평가해 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 8주된 21마리의 수컷 Sprague-Dawley를 세 군으로 나누어서 첫 번째 군(group 1) 은 endotoxin-free water를 기관내 주입하고 두 번째 군(group 2)은 $TiO_2$를 주입을 하고 세 번째 군(group 3)은 $TiO_2$를 주입하고 dexamethasone을 $TiO_2$ 투여전날부터 희생전날까지 투여하였다. 흰쥐를 희생시켜 기관, 기관지와 폐 부위를 각각 절제하여 paraffin bloc을 만든 후 $4{\mu}m$의 section을 하여 PAS 염색한 후 각 부위에서의 상피세포에 대한 배상세포의 비를 구하여 각 군별로 비교하였고, Luna 염색으로 호산구의 침윤을 비교하였다. 결과 : 1. 기관에서의 배상세포의 비의 평균은 1군에서는 4.09$\pm$8.28%, 2군은 10.19$\pm$11.33%로 $TiO_2$를 주입한 2군에서 배상세포의 과형성을 관찰할 수 있었다 (P<0.01). 2. 주 기관지에서의 배상세포의 비의 평균은 1군에서 3.61$\pm$4.84%, 2군에서는 34.09$\pm$23.91%로 $TiO_2$를 주입한 2군에서 배상세포의 과형성을 관찰 할 수 있었다(P<0.01). 3. 세기관지 부위에서의 배상세포의 양성 incidence와 severity (R$\times$S)로 표시를 하였으며 이는 각각 1 군은 0, 2군은 0.3 이었다. 4. 침윤된 호산구는 1군(1.99$\pm$3.84%)에서보다 2군 (21.43$\pm$23.85%)에서 유의하게 증가되었다(p<0.05). 5. 1군, 2군, 3군의 주기관지내에서 배상세포의 과형성과 호산구 침윤간에는 의미있는 상관관계를 보였다(p=0.001). 6. dexamethasone이 배상세포의 과형성과 호산구의 침윤을 억제함을 관찰하였다. 결론 : 백서에서 $TiO_2$로 처치시 기도에서 배상세포의 과형성이 5일내에 주로 주 기관지에서 발생하였으며 호산구 침윤이 동반하는 배상세포 증식의 동물 모형이 만들어졌다. 배상세포의 과형성은 염증과 동반되며 dexamethasone 투여시 억제되므로, 배상세포의 증식기전 에서 기도내 염증과정이 주요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 향 후 이러한 동물 모형은 배상세포 증식의 기전을 이해하는데 유용한 도구가 될 것으로 사료된다.

서 론 : 비소세포 폐암은 악성 종양 관련 사망의 중요한 원인 질환으로, 주요 병태생리 기전에 관여하는 EGFR, MMP-9 및 C-erbB-2의 발현 양상을 관찰 하는 것이 환자의 예후와 향후 치료 방향을 결정하는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 방 법 : 1995년 부터 2001년 까지 고려 대학교 의료원에 내원 후 원발성 비소세포 폐암 확진 후 외과절제술을 받은 81명 환자의 조직에 EGFR, MMP-9 및 C-erbB-2 면역 조직 화학 염색 및 정량화 후, 환자들의 특성 및 생존 기간과 함께, 조직 및 수술 병기에 따른 생물학적 표지자의 발현 양상을 후향적 고찰 하였다. 결 과 : 각 종양 조직 부위의 20%이상 염색되는 Grade 2 이상의 염색 양성률은, 편평상피세포암과 선암에서 EGFR은 75.0%와 63.4%, MMP-9은 43.3%와 43.9%, C-erbB-2는 23.3%와 22.0%를 보였다. 수술 병기가 I, II, IIIa 일때 EGFR 염색 양성률은 각각 75.0%, 66.7%, 76.9%, MMP-9은 41.7%, 47.6%, 46.2%, 그리고 C-erbB-2는 19.4%, 40.0%, 30.8%를 보였다. EGFR 양성군은 중앙 생존기간이 33.5개월로 EGFR 음성군의 71.8개월보다 유의한 불량한 예후를 나타냈다.(p<0.05). 그리고 MMP-9 양성군은 중앙 생존기간 35개월로 MMP-9 음성군의 65.3개월보다 불량한 생존 곡선의 양상을 보였으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 또한 C-erbB-2 양성군은 중앙 생존기간이 44.2개월, C-erbB-2 음성군은 58.4개월을 나타냈으나 통계적 유의한 차이는 없었다. EGFR과 MMP-9 동시 양성군은 전체 환자의 34.2%로서 중앙 생존기간이 26.9개월로 EGFR과 MMP-9 동시 음성군의 77.0개월보다 유의한 불량한 예후를 나타냈다(p<0.05) 결 론 : 비소세포 폐암 에서 EGFR의 양성군에서 음성군 보다 환자의 생존기간이 불량하였고, EGFR과 MMP-9의 동시 양성군에서 동시 음성군보다 생존기간이 불량하였다. C-erbB-2는 다른 생물학적 표지자에 비해서 낮은 염색 양성률을 나타냈으며 특이한 상관관계는 보이지 않았다.

The US supports the Information and Communication (IC) industry as a strategic one to wield a complete power over the World Market. However, several other countries are also eager to have the support for the IC industry because the industry produces a high added value and has a significant effect on other industries. Korea is not an exception. Korea recently succeeded in the commercialization of CDMA for the first time in the world, after the successful development of TDX. Hence, it is highly likely to get tracked by the US. Although the IC industry is a specific sector of IT, there is a concern that there might be a trade friction between the US and Korea due to a possible competition. It will be very important to prepare a solution in advance so that Korea could prevent the friction and at the same time increase its share domestically and globally. It will be our important task to solve the problem with the minimum cost if the conflict arises unfortunately in the IT area. The parties that have a strong influence on the US trade policy are the think tank group and the IT-related interest group. Therefore, it would be important to have a close relationship with them. We found some implications by analyzing the case of Japan, which has experienced trade frictions with the US over the long period of time in the high tech industry. In order to get rid of those conflicts with the US, the Japanese did the following things : (1) The Japanese government developed supporting theories and also resorted to international support so that the world could support the Japanese theories. (2) Through continual dialogue with the US business people, the Japanese business people sought after solutions to share profits among the Japanese and the US both in the domestic and in the worldwide markets. They focused on lobbying activities to influence the US public opinion to support the Japanese. The specific implementation plan was first to open culture lobby toward opinion leaders who were leaders about the US opinion. The institution, Japan Society, were formed to deliver a high quality lobbying activities. The second plan is economic lobby. They have established Japanese Economic Institute at Washington. They provide information about Japan regularly or irregularly to the US government, research institution, universities, etc., that are interested in Japan. The main objective behind these activities though is to advertise the validity of Japanese policy. Japanese top executives, practical interest groups on international trade, are trying to justify their position by direct contact with the US policy makers. The third one is political lobby. Japan is very careful about this political lobby. It is doing its best not to give impression that Japan is trying to shape the US policy making. It is collecting a vast amount of information to make a correct judgment on situation. It is not tilted toward one political party or the other, and is rather developing a long-term network of people who understand and support the Japanese policy. The following implications were drawn from the experience of Japan. First, the Korean government should develop a long-term plan and execute it to improve the Korean image perceived by American people. Second, the Korean government should begin public relation activities toward the US elite group. It is inevitable to make an effort to advertise Korea to this elite group because this group leads public opinion in the USA. Third, the Korean government needs the development of a relevant policy to elevate the positive atmosphere for advertising toward the US. For example, we need information about to whom and how to about lobbying activities, personnel network who immediately respond to wrong articles about Korea in the US press, and lastly the most recent data bank of Korean support group inside the USA. Fourth, the Korean government should create an atmosphere to facilitate the advertising toward the US. Examples include provision of incentives in tax on the expenses for the advertising toward the US and provision of rewards to those who significantly contribute to the advertising activities. Fifth, the Korean government should perform the role of a bridge between Korean and the US business people. Sixth, the government should promptly analyze the policy of IT industry, a strategic area, and timely distribute information to industries in Korea. Since the Korean government is the only institution that has formal contact with the US government, it is highly likely to provide information of a high quality. The followings are some implications for business institutions. First, Korean business organization should carefully analyze and observe the business policy and managerial conditions of US companies. It is very important to do so because all the trade frictions arise at the business level. Second, it is also very important that the top management of Korean firms contact the opinion leaders of the US. Third, it is critically needed that Korean business people sent to the USA do their part for PR activities. Fourth, it is very important to advertise to American employees in Korean companies. If we cannot convince our American employees, it would be a lot harder to convince regular American. Therefore, it is very important to make the American employees the support group for Korean ways. Fifth, it should try to get much information as early as possible about the US firms policy in the IT area. It should give an enormous effort on early collection of information because by doing so it has more time to respond. Sixth, it should research on the PR cases of foreign enterprise or non-American companies inside the USA. The research needs to identify the success factors and the failure factors. Finally, the business firm will get more valuable information if it analyzes and responds to, according to each medium.
