Determination of chloride ion in concentrated NaOH solution by capillary electrophoresis has been studied. The analysis was performed by indirect UV absorption detection using chromate buffer at 254nm. The matrix effect of the sample has been observed so that the sensitivity in strong NaOH solutaion has decreased up to 10% of that in distilled water. The pH effect of the sample on the sensitivity of CE peaks has been investigated. The method for increasing the sensitivity have been investigated and the optimum pH and concentration of the buffer were 7.5 and 10mM, respectively. A cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB), was added to a buffer solution in order to reverse the electroosmotic flow(EOF) in the capillary. This results in a short analysis time and better peak shapes. Using this optimum condition, the determination of chloride ion in real environmental sample has been performed, which is captured in strong NaOH absorbent prepared for absorbing gas from chimney. The standard addition method has been applied for the quantitative analysis, and it was obtained the good reproducibility.

Objective : Subjective tinnitus is defined as an acoustic sensation perceived without any external source. Patients with tinnitus have often experienced psychological distress and low quality of life. However, the connection between psychiatric characteristics and tinnitus has not yet been established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of psychiatric characteristics with tinnitus severity. Method : A total of 124 patients with tinnitus were included in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics were retrospectively collected in the otolaryngology clinic. The self-reported scales including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Anxiety Sensitivity Index were used in this study. Results : The Pearson product moment correlation revealed significant correlations between tinnitus severity and psychiatric characteristics including depression (r=0.26, p<0.01), anxiety (r=0.38, p<0.01), anxiety sensitivity (r=0.27, p<0.01). After controlling for age, sex and awareness of tinnitus, tinnitus severity was positively correlated with anxiety (partial r=0.39, p<0.01) and anxiety sensitivity (partial r=0.28, p<0.01). These correlations remained significant in male but not in female patients. Conclusion : Results of the present study indicated that not only anxiety symptoms but also anxiety sensitivity could relate to tinnitus severity. Our findings have implications for the understanding of the psychiatric characteristics in patients with tinnitus.

Several insertion mutants of Escherichia coli in the ant gene, coding for $Na^{+}$ $H^{+}$ antiport activity, showed littel, if any, reduction in the antiport activity. $Na^{+}$ dependent transport activity also remained at wild type level. These facts led to the idea that E. coli has evolved at least two distinct systems for extrusion of $Na^{+}$ The antiport activities were studied under various conditions to reveal different properties of these systems. For convenience these activities are referred to as major and minor activities. The distinguishing properties of the two systems include : kinetics (Km, Vm) at pH 7.8, competition pattern between $Na^{+}$ and Li$^{+}$ , pH profiles, pattern of the change in kinetic parameters as a function of pH, and sensitivity to protease, chemicals and heat.

목 적 : 신속 요소분해효소 검사는 H. pylori 감염 진단에 있어서 위내시경 검사가 시행되는 병원에서 우선적으로 시행되는 검사이다. 또한 위내시경상 검사상 결절성 위염을 보이는 경우 H. pylori 감염 빈도 가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 위내시경 소견인 결절성 위염의 진단적 의의와 신속 요소분해 효소 검사인 CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 양성 반응 시간별 검출률을 전향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 방 법: 1999년 7월부터 2000년 5월까지 연세대학교 세브란스병원 소아과에서 상복부 동통을 주소로 위내시경 검사를 시행받은 환아 212례를 대상으로 위전정부, 위체부에서 각각 3회씩 조직 생검을 시행하였고 각각 1조각씩 CLO 검사, HpKit 검사 및 조직 검사에 이용하였다. CLO 및 HpKit 검사는 생검조직의 양성 반응 시간을 각각 15분, 30분, 1시간, 2시간, 3시간, 24시간에 따라 나누어 판독하였고, 24시간 이후는 CLO 검사의 경우 6일째까지, HpKit 검사의 경우 5일째까지 판독하였다. 생검 조직의 Hematoxylineeosin 염색 또는 Alcian-yellow 염색을 기준지표로 하여 결절성 위염, CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 예민도, 특이도, 양성기대치 및 음성기대치를 구하였다. 결 과: 일반적 판정 기준 시간인 3시간째 판정한 CLO 검사의 진단적 예민도는 68.4%, 특이도는 100%였고, HpKit 검사는 위전정부 및 위체부에서 시행한 경우 진단 예민도는 모두 65.8%, 특이도는 100%였으며, CLO 및 HpKit 검사의 예민도와 특이도 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). CLO 검사와 HpKit 검사에서 검체와의 반응 후 시간 경과에 따른 양성률은 CLO 검사의 경우 24시간 경과시에는 예민도와 특이도가 각각 73.7% 및 99.4%로 특이도에 큰 변화 없이 예민도가 점차 증가하였고, 144시간(6일)째에도 특이도는 94.8%로 다소 감소하였으나 예민도는 89.5%로 3시간이나 24시간째와 비교하여 현저히 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. HpKit 검사는 위전정부의 경우(HpKit-A) 24시간 경과시 예민도는 68.4%로 3시간 경과시에 비하여 3% 정도 증가하였으나 특이도는 91.4%로 9% 정도 감소하였고, 120시간(5일) 경과시는 예민도는 86.8%로 증가하였으나 특이도는 59.2%로 현저히 감소하였다. 위체부의 경우(HpKit-B) 24시간 경과시 예민도는 3시간 경과시에 비하여 65.8%로 변화가 없었으나 특이도는 97.1%로 3% 정도 감소하였고, 120시간(5일) 경과시는 예민도는 84.2%로 증가하였으나 특이도는 77.0%로 현저히 감소하였다. 또한 24시간 경과시 위전정부와 위체부의 예민도는 각각 68.4% 및 65.8%로 비슷하였으나 특이도는 각각 91.4% 및 97.1%로 위체부의 특이도가 전정부보다 높았다. 내시경 소견상 결절성 위염의 H. pylori 감염의 예민도와 특이도는 각각 78.9% 및 93.7%로 CLO 검사 및 HpKit 검사보다 예민도는 더 높고 특이도는 비슷하였다. 결 론: CLO 검사와 HpKit 검사는 3시간 이내에 신속히 판정을 요구하는 경우 매우 예민하고 특이도가 우수한 검사 방법이나 소아의 경우 3시간째의 예민도가 너무 낮기 때문에 CLO 검사는 6일 지나서 판정함으로서 높은 예민도를 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 결절성 위염의 위내시경 소견은 신속 요소분해효소 검사가 유용하지 않을 경우 H. pylori 감염을 진단할 수 있는 좋은 지표가 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigates the fatigue lift estimation of butt weld specimen for the railway vehicle by examining butt weld bead profiles. The butt weld beads, which are welded by semi-robot method, have non-uniform bead profiles described by $\theta$, p and h. The stress concentration factors, K$\_$t/, are changed by different $\theta$, p and h from 1.395 to 2.863. Hence, the sensitivity of K$\_$k/ is changed by each $\theta$, p and h. As $\theta$ becomes lower and p and h become higher, K$\_$t/ increases. The fatigue life can be estimated very closely for the AAY specimens without residual stress using only butt weld bead profiles. But, for the AAN specimens with residual stress, the fatigue life must be estimated by considering both the weld bead profiles and the residual stress data.

Objective: To perform a meta-analysis to quantitatively assess functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2016. Diagnostic accuracy was quantitatively pooled for all studies by using hierarchical logistic regression modeling, including bivariate modeling and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) curves (AUCs). The Z test was used to determine whether adding functional MRI to T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) results in significantly increased diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Results: Meta-analysis of 13 studies involving 826 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy showed a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 91%, and the AUC was 0.96. Meta-analysis of 7 studies involving 329 patients who underwent radiotherapy showed a pooled sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 81%, and the AUC was 0.88. Meta-analysis of 11 studies reporting 1669 sextant biopsies from patients who underwent radiotherapy showed a pooled sensitivity of 54% and specificity of 91%, and the AUC was 0.85. Sensitivity after radiotherapy was significantly higher when diffusion-weighted MRI data were combined with T2WI than when only T2WI results were used. This was true when meta-analysis was performed on a per-patient basis (p = 0.027) or per sextant biopsy (p = 0.046). A similar result was found when $^1H$-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1H$-MRS) data were combined with T2WI and sextant biopsy was the unit of analysis (p = 0.036). Conclusion: Functional MRI data may not strengthen the ability of T2WI to detect locally recurrent prostate cancer in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy. By contrast, diffusion-weight MRI and $^1H$-MRS data may improve the sensitivity of T2WI for patients who have undergone radiotherapy.
