최근 도시지역의 홍수피해가 증가함에 따라 홍수방어대책이 중요해지고 있다. 제방 축조 및 배수시설 개선 등의 구조적 대책이 우선되어야 하나, 계획빈도 이상의 호우로 인한 피해 발생시 인명피해 및 재산피해를 최소화하기 위한 비구조적 대책 또한 중요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역의 비구조적 대책 수립을 위해 하천 제방 붕괴로 인한 홍수범람 해석을 수행하였다. 도시지역의 홍수범람 해석은 일반적으로 확산형의 흐름 특성을 가져, 홍수의 잠재성이 크다고 판단되는 도시지역에 대해 확산형 범람 해석을 통해 홍수의 전파양상을 심층적으로 검토할 수 있는 Flumen 모형을 적용하였다. "홍수위험지도 작성에 관한 지침(2020, 환경부)"에서는 2차원(확산형) 홍수범람 분석시 LiDAR 기반 1m급 DEM 자료를 권장하고 있으나, 영산·섬진강권역(제주도 포함) 내 1m급 DEM 자료는 약 11,320km²가 구축되어 전체면적(17,756km²) 대비 64%만 구축되어 도시지역 전체 적용에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역과 농경지가 포함된 도시지역(농촌형 도심지역)을 대상으로 1m급 DEM과 5m급 DEM을 구분하여 2차원(확산형) 홍수범람 분석을 수행하였다. 도시지역으로는 지방하천 순천동천이 관류하는 순천시가지를 선정하였고, 농촌형 도심지역으로는 지방하천 광치천이 관류하는 남원시가지를 선정하였다. 2차원 홍수범람 해석을 위해 주요 지점별 파제 시나리오는 각 지구별 동일하게 작성하였으며, DEM 자료에 따른 검토 결과, 도시지역의 경우 지하차도 등과 같은 시설로 인한 차이가 발생하였으나, 농촌형 도시지역의 경우 DEM 해상도에 따른 침수양상 및 면적 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 검토되어 농촌형 도시지역의 경우 5m급 DEM 자료의 활용이 가능한 것으로 검토되었다. 추후 전국 지방·도시하천에 대한 홍수위험지도 제작이 완료된다면 홍수로 인한 침수피해에 대해 사전에 대비하고, EAP, 재해지도 제작, 수해방지대책 수립 등 관련 계획수립 시 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

The purpose of this report is to describe the diagnosed case of a large colonic impaction in an adult donkey. An adult female donkey (Equus africanus asinus; 6-years-old) was admitted to the Equine Hospital of Jeju Race Park with signs of anorexia, which had started 1 day previously. Clinical examination revealed: weak gut sounds, dehydration, and severe abdominal distension, but normal respiratory and heart rates and no signs of pain. Transrectal palpation identified an impaction in the colon. The patient was treated with nasogastric siphonage, fluid therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Over the course of a day, her condition worsened; she started trembling, could not stand, and 2 hours later she died. Upon necropsy, a vast amount of ingesta was found in the large colon, particularly in the left ventral colon. The cecum and small colon were normal. Eleven days prior to presentation, the stable management and diet of the donkey had changed. We suspect that the change of feed, reduced water consumption, and lack of exercise precipitated the illness. However, the exact cause of the sudden death of the donkey requires further investigation.

Arteriovenous fistula flow dysfunction is the leading cause of vascular access thrombosis and loss in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, data regarding the influence of access flow rate measurements on the long-term outcomes of access are limited. This study aims to identify accesses at a high risk of thrombosis and loss among patients undergoing hemodialysis by measuring the access flow rate and exploring an optimal threshold value for predicting future access thrombosis. We enrolled 220 patients with arteriovenous fistula undergoing hemodialysis. The primary outcome was the occurrence of access thrombosis. Access flow rates were measured monthly using the ultrasound dilution method and were averaged using all measurements from patients with patent access. In patients experienced access thrombosis, those immediately before the thrombosis were selected. Using these data, we calculated the access flow rate threshold for thrombosis occurrence by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the patients were divided into two groups according to whether access flow rates were higher or lower than 400 mL/min. During a median follow-up period of 3.1 years, 4,510 access flows were measured (median measurements per patient, 33 times; interquartile range, 11-54). A total of 65 access thromboses and 19 abandonments were observed. Access thrombosis and loss were higher in the lowflow group than in the high-flow group. This study revealed that low access flow rates are strongly associated with access thrombosis occurrence and subsequent loss of arteriovenous fistulas in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Long term variations of fish assemblage in the coastal waters of Bukchon-ri were determined using samples collected by trammel net from 2012 to 2022. Water temperature increased by 0.4℃ in 2022 that was less then 2012. During the survey period, a total of 95 species (53 families and 15 orders) of fishes were identified, Scorpaeniformes (five families and 22 species) and Perciformes (25 families and 39 species) accounted for 73% of the total number. The number of species was higher in summer than winter, showing a peak in summer at 66 species and lower in winter and autumn at 45 species. The number of individuals and the biomass peaked in summer at 1,238 individuals and 280.1 kg, and were the lowest in autumn at 597 individuals and 155.4 kg. The annual diversity index, evenness index and richness index were appeared 2.11-2.80, 0.64-0.80 and 4.70-7.34 at each years. The dominance index were appeared highest in 2014 while 2021 were appeared the lowest in 2017. The subtropical fishes were identified total of 38 species (40.0%) and the number of species was higher in 2022 at 22 (52.4%) species and lower in 2015-2017 at each 10 (31.3-37.0%) species. The dominant species of subtropical fishes were appeared rabbit fish (Siganus fuscescens), boxfish (Ostracion immaculatus), smallscale blackfish (Girella melanichthys), flag fish (Goniistius zonatus), stripey (Microcanthus strigatus), rock porgy (Oplegnathus punctatus), and bluestriped angelfish (Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis) in study sites.

A single specimen of the genus Plectorhinchus (Family: Haemulidae) was collected from the coastal waters around Jejudo Island on November 1, 2017 by a longline. The specimen was identified as Plectorhinchus vittatus by the morphological characters as follows: eight black vertical stripes on the body, scattered polka dots on the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. It is clearly distinguished from the congeneric species, P. lineatus, which is morphologically very similar to P. vittatus, in the number of gill rakers, stripes on the abdomen, and black patterns on the base of the pelvic fin. In this study, the occurrence of this species has been newly revealed at higher latitudes, suggesting the expansion of the northern distribution limit. Following Lee et al. (1999), we propose its Korean name as "Chu-sa-eo-reum-dom".

This study prospective randomized controlled trial aims to test the impact of adding health education, awareness of some contributing factors and clinical guidance to therapeutic cabergoline given to infertile women with unexplained resistant hyperprolactinemia. It comprised 120 infertile women with unexplained persistent hyperprolactinemia not responding to therapeutic doses of cabergoline 1.5-2 mg/week who were subjected to proper history taking to exclude concomitant drug intake or possible brain problems in all cases. They were classified into group A (60 cases) who received health education and clinical guidance to search for possible contributing factors and were instructed to avoid them in addition to proper therapeutic doses of cabergoline, while group B (60 cases) received proper therapeutic doses of cabergoline only without clinical guidance. After 1 month, serum prolactin (PRL) was measured for all cases. All cases had high PRL level at the start of the study (79.9±28.4 [39-195] and 78.2±19.9 [42-189] in group A and B, respectively) without any significant difference. Pretreatment counselling revealed that lifestyle factors, sexual behaviors or feeding habits may contribute to resistant hyperprolactinemia in all cases without a significant difference between both groups. Serum PRL dropped significantly more in group A (20.14±10.31 [11-45] vs. 49.32±37.03 [12-100]) after combined health education, clinical guidance of the couple and proper treatment. It is concluded that lifestyle factors, sexual behaviors, and feeding habits would affect the response of hyperprolactinemia to treatment. Health education and clinical guidance with some advice to avoid them, would concomitantly improve the response of resistant hyperprolactinemia to therapeutic doses of dopamine agonists.

Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the effects of a mental health program within a mental health model middle school. Methods : Subjects of the study consisted of 748 students from the second grade and third grade students at the middle school chosen for a school mental health program by the Ministry of Education in Jeju. The subjects participated in 12 consecutive sessions of group discussion developed to prevent mental health problems. The authors investigated the effects of the program by evaluating the students with Young's Internet Addiction Scale (IAS), Conners & Wells' Adolescent Self Report Scale(CASS) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) before the initial session and after the final session. The data was analyzed by t-test in SPSS PC+ 10.0. The range of significance was p<.05. Results : In MMPI, the percentage of students above clinical range reduced from $12.9\%\;to\;11.0\%$. It reduced in the second grade students, but increased in the third grade students. The scores of paranoia and mania subscales showed a statistically significant reduction. In IAS, the percentage of students above the range of Internee overuse reduced from $16.0\%\;to\;6.8\%$. The percentage of students who showed risk of attention problems in CASS reduced from $22.7\%\;to\;18.3\%$. Also, both IAS and CASS scores showed a statistically significant reduction. The clinical significance of the reduction of IAS scores was within moderate range. Conclusion : The mental health program reduced the percentage of students' risk of mental health problems, internet addiction and attention problems and it was clinically effective on preventing Internet addiction. These results support the effects of a school mental health program to promote students' mental health. The authors suggest to expand this program to other schools, to reconfirm the effect of the program by using proper & specified instruments and to evaluate long-term effect of the program.

Models to predict Leaf Wetness Duration (LWD) were evaluated using the observed meteorological and dew data at the 11 citrus orchards in Jeju, South Korea from 2016 to 2017. The sensitivity and the prediction accuracy were evaluated with four models (i.e., Number of Hours of Relative Humidity (NHRH), Classification And Regression Tree/Stepwise Linear Discriminant (CART/SLD), Penman-Monteith (PM), Deep-learning Neural Network (DNN)). The sensitivity of models was evaluated with rainfall and seasonal changes. When the data in rainy days were excluded from the whole data set, the LWD models had smaller average error (Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) about 1.5hours). The seasonal error of the DNN model had the similar magnitude (RMSE about 3 hours) among all seasons excluding winter. The other models had the greatest error in summer (RMSE about 9.6 hours) and the lowest error in winter (RMSE about 3.3 hours). These models were also evaluated by the statistical error analysis method and the regression analysis method of mean squared deviation. The DNN model had the best performance by statistical error whereas the CART/SLD model had the worst prediction accuracy. The Mean Square Deviation (MSD) is a method of analyzing the linearity of a model with three components: squared bias (SB), nonunity slope (NU), and lack of correlation (LC). Better model performance was determined by lower SB and LC and higher NU. The results of MSD analysis indicated that the DNN model would provide the best performance and followed by the PM, the NHRH and the CART/SLD in order. This result suggested that the machine learning model would be useful to improve the accuracy of agricultural information using meteorological data.

The authors identified fifty-eight Shigella cultures among 1644 cultures and specimens of enteric pathogens collected from all over the country in 1973. Fifty-one out of fifty-eight cultures belonged to Shigella flexneri and the rest to Shigella sonnei. None of cultures belonging to either subgroup A or C was detected in 1973. Of fifty-one cultures of Shigella flexneri twenty-six cultures were $B_{2a}$, which were isolated in Seoul area and Kwangwon-Do. The rest were $B_{3a}$ which were isolated in Jeonla-bug-Do and Kangwon-Do. It would not be possible to understand that there might not have been the cases or carriers of Shigella in the areas where the organisms were not isolated in 1973 and that there might not have been any other serotypes existing in the country, although there was a quite disparity found in the distribution between different areas and in the detection of the serotypes as shown in Table 1. Concerning the biochemical properties there were only two cultures showing positive arginine decarboxylase test among $B_{2a}$, and there were three cultures of trehalose negative cultures, one of rhamnose positive culture and one of glycerol positive culture observed, which were considered to be unusual. All the Shigella cultures were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, cephalosporin and ampicillin, and resistant to colistin, bacitracin and neomycin. Majority of them showed sensitive results to gentamycin, and the majority of Shigella $B_{3a}$ appeared to be sensitive to chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline, but the majority of $B_{2a}$ and Shigella sonnei were observed resistant to those antibiotics by means of the In-Vitro tests.
