Background: In Korea, a healthy 36-year-old man developed acute interstitial pneumonitis soon after inhaling a waterproofing spray which he had applied at home to his outdoor jacket. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to review cases of varying degrees of respiratory toxicity and poisoning in connection with the use of waterproofing spray and summarize major reasons for cases of poisoning. Methods: We searched articles reporting on a combination of a waterproofing agent and/or respiratory symptoms, including acute respiratory syndrome, lung injury, pneumonia, pulmonary toxicity, and respiratory disease. Results: We reviewed a number of cases of varying degrees of respiratory toxicity and poisoning resulting from inhalation of waterproofing spray containing fluorocarbon co-polymer, solvents and propellants reported in a variety of countries. The literature searches concluded that among the ingredients of waterproofing agents, fluorinated polymer may cause acute respiratory health effects. Conclusion: Environmental policy should be implemented in order to prevent consumers from using household and industrial products including waterproofing agents. In addition, a national surveillance system should be created to collect cases of poisoning caused by the use of consumer products.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the results after implementing a simulation based critical care nursing education with $MicroSim^{(R)}$. Method: Simulation based education was used for a clinical scenario on a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Self-learning program was used for an acute asthma attack and acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in the $MicroSim^{(R)}$. A total of 97 nursing students were chosen. A pretest and posttest was conducted to evaluate learning achievement, clinical performance ability and self-directed learning. Result: Learning achievement and clinical performance ability significantly increased but self-directed learning did not. Conclusion: Simulation based education used with $MicroSim^{(R)}$ was useful for improving learning achievement and clinical performance ability of nursing students. Further studies are needed to compare the effects of simulation based education.

소아의 급성 혈행성 골수염은 골의 혈액 공급과 구조의 차이로 인하여 환자의 나이에 따라 병의 효과들이 다르게 나타난다. 2세 이상의 소아에서 골수강내 및 골막의 혈액공급이 모두 손상되었을 때, 광범위한 농양을 형성한다. 농양부를 따라 긴 절개를 하더라도, 철저한 배농과 모든 괴사조직의 제거가 항상 가능하지는 않다. 저자들은 최근 11세 여아에서 경골에 광범위 농양을 형성한 급성 골수염을 2개의 소절개와 4-mm 내시경을 이용하여 성공적으로 치료하였다

Objective: We conducted this study to report the clinical manifestations of integrative treatment with Korean and conventional medicines in a patient with acute hepatitis A after conventional medicine therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia. Methods: A patient was treated with herbal medicine, western medicine, and moxibustion. The liver function tests (GOT, GPT, ALP, ${\gamma}-GT$), total bilirubin, and 4-scale scoring (none, mild, moderate, and severe) of symptoms were used to assess any improvement in symptoms. Results and Conclusion: The symptoms at the time of admission were improved. The levels of GOT, GPT, ALP, ${\gamma}-GT$, and total bilirubin were decreased in laboratory tests. We obtained positive effects for the integrative treatment of acute hepatitis A.

This case report documents one patient with acute cortical cisternal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had a central pain in the right upper limb and was treated with traditional Korean medicine in the Oriental Hospital of Se-Myung University. The patient was treated with Yangkyuksanwha-tang and acupuncture and followed up with a symptoms checklist and brain computed tomography (CT) scan. Initially, the frequency of right upper extremity pain was 18 per day, but this disappeared after treatment. CT follow up showed that subarachnoid hemorrhage was resolved. There were no side effects associated with treatment. This case shows that traditional Korean medicine treatment is effective in treating acute cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage.

We developed and evaluated a method of short-term acute toxicity testing based on the feeding behavior of Ceriodaphnia dubia. In prior toxicity tests, neonates of C. dubia were hatched and cultivated with the addition of yeast only for the preparation of the transparent daphnid's gut. Scenedesmus subspicatus was supplied as food after 1 to 6 h of exposure to toxicants. The effects of 1-h and 6-h exposure time on test sensitivity did not significantly differ. A comparison of the short-term l-h acute toxicity test developed in this study to the standard 48-h acute toxicity test using heavy metals, cyanide, and pentachlorophenol indicated that the 1-h test provided an acceptable sensitivity level in toxicity testing of C. dubia..

중탄산소다 함유 대두유 사료는 급성기 반응에 의한 생산성(증체, 사료효율, 칼슘밸런스, 뇨질소 배설량 및 NB) 감소 완화작용이 있었으며, 이때 에너지원의 흡수 증가에 의한 대사에너지 값의 상승과 인 발란스의 증가 및 적혈구 세포액중의 SOD 및 순환 세룰로플라민스의 활성 감소가 관찰되었다. 본 결과는 급성기 반응중의 사료에너지 이용과 전해질 농도는 항산화계의 변화와 상관관계가 있다는 것을 나타내었다.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) provide numerous beneficial effects on the host body, especially on the intestine. Two LAB strains isolated from Kimchi, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus sakei, were studied for its anti-inflammatory activity in acidinduced acute colitis in mice. To induce acute colitis in model mice (C57BL/6), 3% of dextran sulfate sodium treatment was treated for 7 days. Assessment of necropsy and histopathology analysis showed that oral supplementation of both L. mesenteroides and L. sakei ameliorated the symptoms of acute colitis. Moreover, the mixture of L. meseneroides and L. sakei showed synergistic effect on colitis. The results suggest that the formulation of L. mesenteroides and L. sakei mixture could be used as an oral supplementation to decrease the inflammatory harmful environment associated with colitis.
