Objective : Vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA) is a very rare subtype of intracranial aneurysms; when ruptured, it is associated with significantly high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite several discussions and debates, the optimal treatment for VADA has not yet been established. In the last 10 years, flow diverter devices (FDD) have emerged as a challenging and new treatment method, and various clinical and radiological results have been reported about their safety and effectiveness. The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results with the use of FDD in the treatment of unruptured VADA. Methods : We retrospectively evaluated the data of all patients with unruptured VADA treated with FDD between January 2018 and February 2021 at our hybrid operating room. Nine patients with unruptured VADA, deemed hemodynamically unstable, were treated with FDD. Among other parameters, the technical feasibility of the procedure, procedure-related complications, angiographic results, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results : Successful FDD deployment was achieved in all cases, and the immediate follow-up angiography showed intra-aneurysmal contrast stasis with parent artery preservation. A temporary episode of facial numbness and palsy was noted in one patient; however, the symptoms had completely disappeared when followed up at the outpatient clinic 2 weeks after the procedure. The 3-6 months follow-up angiography (n=9) demonstrated complete/near-complete obliteration of the aneurysm in seven patients, and partial obliteration and segmental occlusion in one patient each. In the patient who achieved only partial obliteration, there was a sac 13 mm in size, and there was no change in the 1-year follow-up angiography. In the patient with segmental occlusion, the cause could not be determined. The clinical outcome was modified Rankin Scale 0 in all patients. Conclusion : Our preliminary study using FDD to treat hemodynamically unstable unruptured VADA showed that FDD is safe and effective. Our study has limitations in that the number of cases is small, and it is not a prospective study. However, we believe that the study contributes to evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of FDD in the treatment of unruptured VADA.

본 연구에서는 MBR 공정 내 폭기조에서 순산소 용해와 일반 공기 폭기의 효율에 대한 비교·평가를 통해 순산소의 MBR 공정 적용성에 대해 평가 하였다. 순산소 장치에 의한 유기물 및 암모니아 산화 여부에 대해 평가하였으며, 실폐수(음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성소화 유출수) 적용 과포화산소용해 효율 평가를 진행하였다. 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기 방법의 SCOD, 암모니아 제거율과 속도는 비슷하였다. 하지만, 순산소 용해에 의한 미생물 수율이 일반공기폭기법에 의한 미생물 수율보다 약 0.03 g MLSS-produced/g SCOD-removed 낮아 잉여슬러지 처리 비용이 감소될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성 소화 유출수의 고농도 유기물 (4,000 mg/L) 및 암모니아 (1,400 mg/L)의 제거율을 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기법을 비교한 결과, 순산소 용해기가 일반공기폭기법에 비해 유기물 제거율이 약 13% 가량 더 높게 평가되었다. 또한, MLSS의 경우 일반공기폭기법이 순산소장치에 비해 0.3배가량 높았다. 이는, 순산소장치의 경우 폭기조 내에 용존산소가 충분히 유지, 공급되기 때문에 슬러지 자산화가 고도로 진행된 결과로 판단되었다. 따라서, 고농도 유기물을 함유한 폐수 처리를 위한 방법으로는 기존에 많이 사용되었던 일반공기폭기법보다 순산소장치를 활용하는 것이 경제적인 면에서 더 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.

BACKGROUND: Pesticides can persist in soil due to multiannual uses. To decrease the concerns for potential carry-over of such residues from treated soil during preceding crop cultivation to non-target crops grown in rotation, an uptake study of procymidone was conducted under the actual cultivation conditions in Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS: Procymidone was sprayed twice by foliar application with recommended and double dose according to the safe use guidelines for Korean cabbage up to 14 days before harvest. Arable land was kept fallow for 4 days after harvesting Korean cabbage, and spinach was cultivated as a succeeding crop. Initial residues in soil were 5.670-14.175 mg/kg that were degraded to 3.098-4.555 mg/kg until harvest of Korean cabbage, and then persisted at 1.026-1.300 mg/kg by spinach harvest. Procymidone residues in edible part of succeeding crops from soil uptake were in range of 0.020-0.048 mg/kg for recommended dose and 0.055-0.116 mg/kg for double dose. Root concentration factor (RCF) values of procymidone at different concentration ranged from 0.053 to 0.123, and translocation factor (TF) ranged from 0.176 to 0.768 for spinach. The value of TF was higher than RCF, indicating that the capability of translocation to shoot was relatively higher than that of root uptake and accumulation. CONCLUSION: Procymidone applied on Korean cabbage can be carried-over to spinach and detected at a level similar to MRL (0.05^T mg/kg). Therefore, this study suggests a follow-up study for establishment of plant back interval (PBI) of succeeding crops reflecting the actual agricultural conditions as this study.

개인교통수단(PM, Personal mobility)이란 신개념 교통수단으로 전기를 이용하여 1인 또는 2인이 이용하는 교통수단이다. 개인교통수단은 목적지까지 차를 타기에는 너무 가깝고 걷기에는 멀게 느껴지는 애매한 거리를 빠르고 편리하게 이동하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히 최근에는 전동킥보드 공유서비스가 보편화되면서 시민들에게 큰 호응을 얻고 있다. 그러나 이용자들은 물론 거리의 보행자, 도로의 운전자에게도 위험요소로 작용하고 있어 이에 대한 대안 마련이 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안전한 퍼스널모빌리티 이용환경 구축 및 개선 방안을 제시하고자 다음과 같이 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째, 공유 전동킥보드의 GPS 데이터를 기반으로 일상 속 이용실태를 세밀하게 살펴보고 분석하였다. 둘째, 공유 전동킥보드는 시간에 구애받지 않고 어플리케이션으로 직접 대여 반납 할 수 있어 편리하며 이동 할 때 자신의 위치에서 가장 가까운 곳에서 대여하고 목적지 앞까지 도달할 수 있다는 점에서 접근성도 굉장히 높은 편이기 때문에 주된 대여, 반납 장소를 찾고자 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 무질서한 기기 배치, 이용지역 확장 보다는 사용이 많은 장소에 거치대를 설치하여 대여와 반납에 대한 세심한 접근을 한다면 이용자와 보행자에게 더욱 긍정적인 효과를 불러일으킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate differences in microbial contamination according to the duration and environment of mask wearing. Methods: Forty-five participants were recruited from workers in an offices, multi-purpose facilities, and a schools. After wearing of KF94 mask for two. four, and six hours, the microorganisms adsorbed on the outer and inner layers of the mask were inoculated on BAP(Blood Agar Plate), Chocolate agar, and SDA plates. The bacterial count (CFUs: colony-forming units) cultured in each plate was measured and analyzed for changes in filtration efficiency. Results: The microbial contamination of masks worn in classrooms, offices, and multi-purpose facilities showed a significant difference depending on the environment (p<0.000). The measured CFUs increased significantly according to the time wearing the mask. The difference between the inner and outer layers of the mask was also significant (p<0.05). However, there was no statistical difference in the filtration efficiency of the masks by duration time (p=0.515). Conclusions: Masks worn by workers in the offices, multi-purpose facilities, and schools showed an increase of microbial contamination with the amount of time wearing the mask. The results indicate that the masks used in daily life may have adverse health effects if they are worn for a long time or reused over several days without the realizing that the masks can be contaminated with biological hazards. Guidelines on the safe threshold time for mask use should be established through further research.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) on recurrence and survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients with cytology-proven axillary node metastasis. Methods: We selected patients who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis and were treated with NAC followed by curative surgery between January 2007 and December 2014. We classified patients into three groups: group A, negative sentinel lymph node (SLN) status and no further dissection; group B, negative SLN status with backup axillary lymph node dissection (ALND); and group C, no residual axillary metastasis on pathology with standard ALND. Results: The median follow-up time was 51 months (range, 3-122 months) and the median number of retrieved SLNs was 5 (range, 2-9). The SLN identification rate was 98.3% (234/238 patients), and the false negative rate of SLNB after NAC was 7.5%. There was no significant difference in axillary recurrence-free survival (p=0.118), disease-free survival (DFS; p=0.578) or overall survival (OS; p=0.149) among groups A, B, and C. In the subgroup analysis of breast pathologic complete response (pCR) status, there was no significant difference in DFS (p=0.271, p=0.892) or OS (p=0.207, p=0.300) in the breast pCR and non-pCR patients. Conclusion: These results suggest that SLNB can be feasible and oncologically safe after NAC for cytology-determined axillary node metastasis patients and could help reduce arm morbidity and lymphedema by avoiding ALND in SLN-negative patients.

In view of the growing industrial use of Bacterial cellulose (BC), and taking into account that it might become airborne and be inhaled after industrial processing, assessing its potential pulmonary toxic effects assumes high relevance. In this work, the murine model was used to assess the effects of exposure to respirable BC nanofibrils (nBC), obtained by disintegration of BC produced by Komagataeibacter hansenii. Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages ($BMM{\Phi}$) were treated with different doses of nBC (0.02 and 0.2 mg/mL, respectively 1 and $10{\mu}g$ of fibrils) in absence or presence of 0.2% Carboxymethyl Cellulose (nBCMC). Furthermore, mice were instilled intratracheally with nBC or nBCMC at different concentrations and at different time-points and analyzed up to 6 months after treatments. Microcrystaline $Avicel-plus^{(R)}$ CM 2159, a plant-derived cellulose, was used for comparison. Markers of cellular damage (lactate dehydrogenase release and total protein) and oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxidase, reduced glutathione, lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase activity) as well presence of inflammatory cells were evaluated in brochoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids. Histological analysis of lungs, heart and liver tissues was also performed. BAL analysis showed that exposure to nBCMC or CMC did not induce major alterations in the assessed markers of cell damage, oxidative stress or inflammatory cell numbers in BAL fluid over time, even following cumulative treatments. $Avicel-plus^{(R)}$ CM 2159 significantly increased LDH release, detected 3 months after 4 weekly administrations. However, histological results revealed a chronic inflammatory response and tissue alterations, being hypertrophy of pulmonary arteries (observed 3 months after nBCMC treatment) of particular concern. These histological alterations remained after 6 months in animals treated with nBC, possibly due to foreign body reaction and the organism's inability to remove the fibers. Overall, despite being a safe and biocompatible biomaterial, BC-derived nanofibrils inhalation may lead to lung pathology and pose significant health risks.

We investigated the sanitary characteristics of Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma roe as a raw material based on the standards of several countries. The standards for raw materials of Alaska pollock roe for lead, total mercury, $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, and $^{131}I$ were those of the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety; Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Clostridium botulinum, methyl mercury, $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, $^{131}I$, $^{239}Pu$, and $^{90}Sr$ were those of the United States Food and Drug Administration; lead, methyl mercury, inorganic arsenic, chrome, $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, and $^{131}I$ were those of the Ministry of Agriculture of China; nitrite ion, $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, $^{239}Pu$, and $^{235}U$ were those of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan; $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, $^{131}I$, $^{239}Pu$, and $^{90}Sr$ were those of Codex; and $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, $^{131}I$, $^{239}Pu$, $^{241}Am$, and $^{90}Sr$ were those of the European Food Safety Authority. The results for the global standard items other than C. botulinum (lead, total mercury, methyl mercury, inorganic arsenic, chrome, $^{134}Cs+^{137}Cs$, and $^{131}I$, S. aureus, and Salmonella spp.) suggest that Alaska pollock roe is safe for use as a raw material.

큰 규모의 산업용 보일러는 고온, 고압을 이용하는 설비이며, 보유수량이 많아 폭발시 엄청난 에너지가 방출된다. 현재 산업용 보일러는 대부분이 LNG, LPG 등의 가스연료를 사용하고 있고, 연료가 설비와 같은 공간에 존재하기 때문에 보일러 사고 발생시 화재, 폭발 등 2차 피해 가능성이 높다. 뿐만 아니라 단위 사고당 2.51명의 사상자를 발생시키는 대단히 위험한 설비로 운영에 특별한 주의와 관리가 필요하다. 일정 규모 이상의 보일러는 에너지이용 합리화법, KS, 산업통상자원부 고시 등에 따라 한국에너지공단에서 검사를 실시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 검사 결과 불합격 사항을 바탕으로 위험인자를 구성하고, 검사원, 기기 관리자, 유지보수 담당자, 제조업체 담당자에게 설문을 실시하여 보일러 안전관리에 중요하게 판단하는 기준을 AHP(계층분석방법)을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과 공통적으로 인식하고 있는 위험인자는 관리소홀, 계측기 고장, 규격미달, 누수, 누설로 분석되었고, 접속, 용접, 스케일, 부식 등은 상대적 중요성이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 모든 집단과 경력에서 중요성이 높다고 인식하고 있는 위험인자는 이미 관리가 잘 되고 있다고 판단되나, 중요성이 낮게 분석된 위험인자는 관리누수가 발생되지 않도록하여 보일러를 안전하게 사용할 수 있도록 해야 한다.
