연구배경: 기관지 내시경으로 조직 검사가 불가능한 고립성 폐결절 환자에서 경피적 폐생검이 중요한 진단 방법으로 사용되고 있으나, 기흉 및 출혈 등의 합병증 및 접근성 등이 문제가 된다. 흑색종항원유전자(Melanoma Antigen Gene, MAGE)는 악성 흑색종에서 처음 발견된 20 종양 항원 및 유전자로서, 비소세포폐암을 비롯한 다양한 암종에서 발현되며 정상 조직에서는 남성의 생식기 세포 및 태반에서만 발현된다. 본 연구는 기관지내시경으로 보이지 않았던 비소세포폐암 환자에서 기관지 세척액을 이용한 MAGE 양성 여부를 검사하여 폐암의 진단에 어느정도 도움이 되는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2007년 1월부터 2개월간 삼성서울병원 호흡기 내과에서 기관지 내시경을 시행한 환자 중에서 내시경적 조직 검사가 불가능한 고립성 폐결절 환자 37명을 대상으로 하였다. 기관지 세척을 시행하여 MAGE A1-6 RT-nested PCR (iC&G Co, Daegu, Korea)검사와 세포진 검사를 시행하였고, 경피적 폐생검 및 수술을 통한 병리학적인 진단과 비교하였다. 결과: 37명 중에서 비소세포폐암 환자는 21명(56.8%) 이었고(선암종 13/21, 편평상피세포암 8/21), 나머지 16명 (43.2%)은 폐결핵(5), 진균 감염(3), 기질화 폐렴(2) 및 유육종증, 비결핵 항산균 폐질환과 선천성 낭종 등으로 진단되었다. 비소세포폐암 환자에서 세포학적인 검사의 양성률은 9.5% (2/21)에 불과하였으나, MAGE mRNA는 47.6% (10/21)에서 양성을 보여 양성 예측률이 71.4%였다. MAGE 양성률은 편평상피세포암에서 더 높게 나타났다 (선암종 30.8%, 편평상피세포암 75.0%, p>0.05). 양성 병변으로 진단된 16명의 MAGE 발현율은 25.0% (4/16)였다. 결론: 기관지 세척액을 이용한 MAGE 검사는 기관지 내시경을 통한 조직검사가 불가능한 고립성 폐결절에서 기존의 세포진검사에 비해 우수한 양성 예측률을 나타내어 폐암의 진단에 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 포유류인 $Cl^-$통로의 존재 여부를 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. $Cl^-$통로는 비흥분성 세포에서 용적변화와 pH 조절, 이온운반계 등에 중요한 역할을 수행하므로 활발한 세포분화가 이루어지는 난자의 생존과 기능에 필수적 $Cl^-$통로 존재 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 단일통로 전류를 기록하는 patch clamp 기법을 이용하였다. 세포외(pipette) 용액을 140 mM NaCl로 하고 세포내(bath) 용액을 70 mM, 140 mM, 280 mM NaCl로 바꾸어 주었을 때, 역전압($E_{rev}$) 은 $Cl^-$평형전압을 반영하는 -9.8${\pm}$0.5mV, 0mV, 11.5${\pm}$0.2mV로 변화하였다(n=4). 이런 결과는 이론치와 약간의 편차를 보이고 있으므로 이를 보정하기 위항 Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz(GHK) 식을 이용한 결과 $Cl^-$에 대한 $Na^+$의 투과성 ($P_{Na}$/$P_{Cl}$/)은 0.25로 추측할 수 있었다. Inside out patch mode에서 Pipette 용액과 bath 용액에 imperment인 NMDG-Cl로 구성하였을 경우 단일 통로가 기록되었다.(n=22). 막전압이 증가함에 따라 전도도(conductance)가 같이 증가하였으며 전류-전압 관계는 outward rectification을 보였다. 이런 특성을 나타내는 단일통로로 전류는 선택적 $Cl^-$통로 차단제인 IAA-94(indanyloxyacetic acid 94)에 의해 농도 의존적으로 차단되었으며 가역적으로 회복되었다. IAA의 $IC_{50}$은 32.6$\mu\textrm{M}$이었다. DIDS(4,4'-diisothiocyan ostillben-2-2'disulfonic acid)에 의해서는 전류크기가 감소 되는 빠른 억제기전을 나타내는 차단효과를 보였으며 시간경과에 따라 seblevel로 감소되는 subconductance block 이 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 햄스터 난자에서 chloride 통로가 존재하여, 물질이동과 pH 조절기능을 나타내는 외향성 전류-전압관계를 보이는 $Cl^-$ 통로의 성상으로 미루어 볼 때 난자의 pH 조절과 용적조절과 같은 생리적 환경 조성에 관여할 것으로 추정된다.

동해는 일본분지, 야마토 분지, 울릉분지 등 큰 3개의 해양분지와 크고 작은 고지대(topographic hihgs) 등으로 구성되어 있고, 주변해(marginal sea) 또는 후배호 분지 (back-arc basin)로 분류되며 태평양판, 필리핀판 등이 주변해 위치하고 있다. 동해의 남서쪽에 위치한 울릉분지는 평균수심 약 1500 미터, 최대수심 약 2500 미터를 보이며, 2000 미터 등 심선을 따라 동해의 일본 분지와 연결되어 있다. 분지 내에서 해저면 경사는 대체적으로 서쪽이 크게 나타나며, 남쪽과 동쪽의 경사는 이에 비하여 상대적으로 작게 나타난다. 지진계(OBS) 자료와 탄성파 자료 등에 의해 밝혀진 울릉분지의 지각 두께는 북쪽으로 그리고, 한국 연안 쪽으로 갈수록 두꺼워지는 경향을 보이며, 퇴적물의 두께는 울릉분지 남서쪽으로 갈수록 점차 두꺼워져 최대 약 12km에 이른다 울릉분지의 지각은 열개된 대륙지각(rifted continental crust), 신장된 대륙지각, 해저확장 초기단계에 형성된 해양지각 등 다양하게 제시되고 있으나 현재까지 구체적 증거는 없다. 수심 및 중력자료에 의하면, 울릉분지의 축은 북서-남동 방향으로 발달하고 있다. 또한, 후리에어-이상의 분포도 수심 자료와 유사하게 북서-남동 방향의 축을 중심으로 대칭성을 보이고 있으며, 퇴적물의 두께 분포 역시 북서쪽에서 남동 방향으로 진행하면서 일반적으로 두꺼워지는 양상을 보이고 있다. 울릉분지가 상대적으로 절은 연령에 해당하는 지각임에도 불구하고, 전체적으로는 후리에어-이상 값이 $-40\~50mGal$ 정도의 낮은 특징을 보이는데 이것은 울릉분지를 구성하는 지각과 퇴적물의 밀도가 일본분지와 야마토 분지를 구성하는 물질에 비하여 상대적으로 낮다는 것을 의미한다.나타났고, 이에 대한 적극적인 대안으로 의사와 간호사를 위한 교육프로그램 개발과 교육이 절실히 필요한데 일시적이고 일회적인 교육보다는 지속적이고 장기적이고 자동적으로 운영되는 체계가 필요하다.후 32.4$\pm$4.4, 32.1$\pm$4.5, 술 후 1일에 33.4$\pm$5.0, 31.7$\pm$5.1였다(repeated measures ANOVA, p < 0.05). 술 후 출혈량(mL)은 RAP군과 대조군에서 술 후 6시간에 357.2$\pm$ 177.1, 411.7 $\pm$ 279.5, 술 후 24시간에 599.4$\pm$145.6, 678.8 $\pm$256.4였다(t-test, p < 0.05). 동종 수혈은 RAP군에서 34명 중 7명에서(20.6$\%$), 대조군에서는 46명중 16명에서(34.8$\%$) 시행되어, RAP군에서 유의하게 빈도가 낮았다(Chi-square test, p < 0.05). 결론: 역행성 자가 충전법은 심폐바이패스의 충전에 의한 혈액희석을 최소화함으로서, 개심술 후 출혈과 동종수혈을 또한 줄이는 데 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있다고 생각된다.타내지 않았다.성 교사, 가정 전공 교사가 그렇지 않은 교사보다 해석적, 해방적 행동목표를 더 중요하게 인식하고 있었다. 특히 가정교육 철학을 배운 경험이 있는 교사가 그렇지 않은 교사보다 해방적 행동체계 목표를 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는, 실천 비판적인 가정 교과의 본질을 구현하기 위해서는 주생활 영역의 교육과정에 기술적, 해석적, 해방적 행동에 대한 목표들을 고루 포함하여야 하며 특히

The dose from radionuclides released from high-level radioactive waste (HLW) glasses as they corrode must be taken into account when assessing the performance of a disposal system. In the performance assessment (PA) calculations conducted for the proposed Yucca Mountain, Nevada, disposal system, the release of radionuclides is conservatively assumed to occur at the same rate the glass matrix dissolves. A simple model was developed to calculate the glass dissolution rate of HLW glasses in these PA calculations [1]. For the PA calculations that were conducted for Site Recommendation, it was necessary to identify ranges of parameter values that bounded the dissolution rates of the wide range of HLW glass compositions that will be disposed. The values and ranges of the model parameters for the pH and temperature dependencies were extracted from the results of SPFT, static leach tests, and Soxhlet tests available in the literature. Static leach tests were conducted with a range of glass compositions to measure values for the glass composition parameter. The glass dissolution rate depends on temperature, pH, and the compositions of the glass and solution, The dissolution rate is calculated using Eq. 1: $rate{\;}={\;}k_{o}10^{(ph){\eta})}{\cdot}e^{(-Ea/RT)}{\cdot}(1-Q/K){\;}+{\;}k_{long}$ where $k_{0},\;{\eta}$ and Eaare the parameters for glass composition, pH, $\eta$ and temperature dependence, respectively, and R is the gas constant. The term (1-Q/K) is the affinity term, where Q is the ion activity product of the solution and K is the pseudo-equilibrium constant for the glass. Values of the parameters $k_{0},\;{\eta}\;and\;E_{a}$ are the parameters for glass composition, pH, and temperature dependence, respectively, and R is the gas constant. The term (1-Q/C) is the affinity term, where Q is the ion activity product of the solution and K is the pseudo-equilibrium constant for the glass. Values of the parameters $k_0$, and Ea are determined under test conditions where the value of Q is maintained near zero, so that the value of the affinity term remains near 1. The dissolution rate under conditions in which the value of the affinity term is near 1 is referred to as the forward rate. This is the highest dissolution rate that can occur at a particular pH and temperature. The value of the parameter K is determined from experiments in which the value of the ion activity product approaches the value of K. This results in a decrease in the value of the affinity term and the dissolution rate. The highly dilute solutions required to measure the forward rate and extract values for $k_0$, $\eta$, and Ea can be maintained by conducting dynamic tests in which the test solution is removed from the reaction cell and replaced with fresh solution. In the single-pass flow-through (PFT) test method, this is done by continuously pumping the test solution through the reaction cell. Alternatively, static tests can be conducted with sufficient solution volume that the solution concentrations of dissolved glass components do not increase significantly during the test. Both the SPFT and static tests can ve conducted for a wide range of pH values and temperatures. Both static and SPFt tests have short-comings. the SPFT test requires analysis of several solutions (typically 6-10) at each of several flow rates to determine the glass dissolution rate at each pH and temperature. As will be shown, the rate measured in an SPFt test depends on the solution flow rate. The solutions in static tests will eventually become concentrated enough to affect the dissolution rate. In both the SPFt and static test methods. a compromise is required between the need to minimize the effects of dissolved components on the dissolution rate and the need to attain solution concentrations that are high enough to analyze. In the paper, we compare the results of static leach tests and SPFT tests conducted with simple 5-component glass to confirm the equivalence of SPFT tests and static tests conducted with pH buffer solutions. Tests were conducted over the range pH values that are most relevant for waste glass disssolution in a disposal system. The glass and temperature used in the tests were selected to allow direct comparison with SPFT tests conducted previously. The ability to measure parameter values with more than one test method and an understanding of how the rate measured in each test is affected by various test parameters provides added confidence to the measured values. The dissolution rate of a simple 5-component glass was measured at pH values of 6.2, 8.3, and 9.6 and $70^{\circ}C$ using static tests and single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests. Similar rates were measured with the two methods. However, the measured rates are about 10X higher than the rates measured previously for a glass having the same composition using an SPFT test method. Differences are attributed to effects of the solution flow rate on the glass dissolution reate and how the specific surface area of crushed glass is estimated. This comparison indicates the need to standardize the SPFT test procedure.

In general, empowerment is defined as the motivational concept of autonomy and self-efficacy. Recently, the concept of empowerment is applied to improve organizational staff's job satisfaction and organizational commitment in many organizations. Empower-ment in service organizations, i.e., hospitals, has certainly generated more publicity than any other organizations. The objectives of this study are, first, to measure the degree of hospital employees' empowerment using Spreitzer(1995)'s empowerment theory, second, to analyze the causal relationship of organizational and job characteristics, a degree of empowerment, and organizational performance(job satisfaction and organizational commitment), and third, to offer the strategy for the improvement of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Spreitzer insists that the empowerment is composed of 4 dimensions(meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact). And he argues that various work-related characteristics is a direct cause of empowerment and the indirect cause of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, mediated by the empowerment latent variable. In order to perform this study, data were collected by self-administered questionnaires from hospital employees working in administrative department of 3 university hospitals in Inchon and Kyunggi-Do region. The number of cases is 181(response rate; 86%). The Collected data were analyzed with SPSS Ver. 10.0 and AMOSV Ver. 4.0. First, to test validity of variables, the factor analysis was used. Second, to test reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficients was calculated. Cronbach's alpha of empowerment variable is 0.8323 showing that there's no problem in regard to the internal consistency. Also the Cronbach's alpha of other variables are 0.8301 of the degree of perceived control, 0.6705 of job characteristics, O.8787 of compensation, 0.9254 of job satisfaction, and 0.8389 of organizational commitment, respectively. Among the questions of job characteristics, two survey questions are deleted due to lowering the reliability. Third, to test multicollinearity and correlation of variables, the correlation analysis was performed. There was no problem of multicollinearity. Finally structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was conducted to find the causal relationship of organizational and job Characteristics, empowerment, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The 16 variables are included for the SEM analysis. The major results of this study are as follows: First, in the case of model fitness, the condition of x$^2$ statistic(92.187) is not fully satisfied, but the indices of GFI(0.912), AGFI(0.863), NFI(0.917) and CFI(0.928) are partially satisfied, which needs to upper 0.90. Second, in the result of hypotheses testing, all hypotheses are accepted and have a positive effect in 95% or 99% confidence interval(P<0.05 or P<0.001) except the effect of compensation variable on empowerment(P=0.082). Third, in regard to the direct, indirect, and total effect of variables, the direct effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.728, 2.264, 0.328 and on organizational commitment are 0.094, 1.411, 0.418, respectively. Also the indirect effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.311, 0.196, 0.028 and on organizational commitment are 0.210, 0.132, 0.019, respectively. Thus, these findings imply that various work-related factors are direct effect of empowerment and indirect effect of result variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Also These results showed that the workplace empowerment is significant mediating factor of employee's job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

The purposes of this study were to determine the relevant nursing needs of patients following discharge; to identify the degree of their nursing needs; to identify types and status of discharge order and information given to patients; and to determine their specific nursing needs according to their diagnosis. In addition, opinions toward home care services provided by hospitals or by public health nurses and appointment plans with their physicians were also asked in order to determine the necessity of follow-up care for the patient after discharge. Nine hundred and eighty eight subjects were collected among patients being discharged from one national university hospital and four city hospitals. Data were collected from June,1979 to December,1979 using questionnaires and interviews. On the bases of these data the following findings were observed; 1) Almost 40 percents of total subjects discharged from the hospital with some or great degree of nursing needs in general. The most problematic nursing needs were needs for comfort which include needs for releaving pain, for sound sleep and rest, because these needs can only be met by professional help. More than 50% of total subjects have this problem. 2) Needs for mental health, general metabolism, general hygiene and activities and safety were observed in more than 20 percent of subjects. 3) Discharge orders on diet and oral medication were recorded in patients' charts in 70% of all cases. However, more than fifty percents of patients have not been told these information from doctors or nurses. Even though some of them might have had appointment plans with their physicians, they would not keep the appointments unless they completely understood the necessity of the follow-up care. If they have not had any appointment or would not visit the out-patient clinic, there is no method of caring them and prerenting funther discomfort or complications. Even in injection, ski care, dressing and bath, only one thirds of the subjects having recorded discharge orders understood what they need after discharge. The rest of cases have not known what to do for their further care. 4) More than 80 percents and 70 percents of total subjects agreed to a system of home care services provided by hospitals or public health nurses respectively. That is, regardless of sources of medical expenses, most of patients wanted to be taken care of at home following discharge. 5) While more than half of the patients having benefit of medical insurance or paying fully by themselves had appointment plans with their physicians, only one thirds of the patients fully or partially paid by government had appointment plans with their physicians. These results ex-plain that the appointment plan is directly associated with their economic power. This indicates that the home care services are more needed to the people with lower economical status. 6) Those who have been in the hospital more than 24 days wanted !o have home care services more than those who had less hospital days. They also had more appointment plans than other groups. 7) More than 70 percents of the subjects who had been in a university hospital and approximately 30 percents of the subjects in the city hospitals had appointment plans with their physicians. 8) Those who had the cerebrovascular disease, cancer or hypertension demanded more nursing needs such as needs for comfort, for general metabolism and for mental health. 9) Factors which were associated with the degree of patients' nursing needs were age, duration of hospitalization, opinion toward home care services given by public health nurses, hospital appointments and types of hospital. That is, the older they were and the longer the periods of hospitalization were, the higher were their nursing needs. The more they had nursing needs, the more they wanted to have nursing services and had appointment plans. It can be concluded that there is a great demand for a positive and systematic home care services to the people who have been discharged from hospitals following critical care. This program is definitely demanded for the low income groups of people with less education with the financial assistance of the government or other funding agencies.

Introduction: This study evaluated the capability of silk fibroin (SF) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 loaded SF (SF-BMP) as a bone defect replacement matrix when grafted in a calvarial bone defect of rats in vivo. Materials and Methods: A total 70 calvarial critical size defects (5.0 mm in diameter) made on 35 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The defects were transplanted with (1) rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft (SF-BMP: 0.8+$10\;{\mu}g$), (2) Silk fibroin (SF: $10\;{\mu}g$), and (3) no graft material (Raw). The samples were evaluated with soft x-rays, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium/phosphate quantification, histological and histomorphometric analysis at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. Results: The SF-BMP group ($48.86{\pm}14.92%$) had a significantly higher mean percentage bone area than the SF group ($24.96{\pm}11.01%$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) In addition, the SF-BMP group ($40.01{\pm}12.43%$) had a higher % bone area at postoperative 8 weeks than the SF group ($33.26{\pm}5.15%$). The mean ratio of gray scale levels to the host bone showed that the SF-BMP group ($0.67{\pm}0.08$) had a higher mean ratio level than the SF group ($0.61{\pm}0.09$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.168 and P=0.243, respectively) The ratio of the calcium and phosphate contents of the SF-BMP ($0.93{\pm}0.22$) group was lower than that of the SF ($1.90{\pm}1.42$) group at postoperative 4 weeks. However, the SF-BMP group ($0.75{\pm}0.31$) had a higher Ca/$PO_4$ ratio than the SF ($0.68{\pm}0.04$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.126 and P=0.627, respectively) For the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which is recognized as a reliable indicator of the osteoblast function, the SF-BMP ($23.71{\pm}8.60\;U/L$) groups had a significantly higher value than the SF group ($12.65{\pm}6.47\;U/L$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) At postoperative 8 weeks, the SF-BMP ($21.65{\pm}10.02\;U/L$) group had a lower bone-specific ALP activity than the SF group ($16.72{\pm}7.35\;U/L$). This difference was not statistically significant.(P=0.263) For the histological evaluation, the SF-BMP group revealed less inflammation, lower foreign body reactions and higher bone healing than the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. The SF group revealed more foreign body reactions at postoperative 4 weeks. However, this immunogenic reaction decreased and the remnant of grafted material was observed at postoperative 8 weeks. For histomorphometric analysis, the SF-BMP group had a significantly longer bone length to total length ratio than those of the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks.(P<0.05) Conclusion: The rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft revealed fewer immunoreactions and inflammation as well as more new bone formation than the pure silk fibroin graft. Therefore, silk fibroin may be a candidate scaffold for tissue engineered bone regeneration.
