  • Recently Carter(1952) reported the capsule antigens of Pasteurella multocida could be divided into four serological types A,B,C and D by means of precipitation tests. Subsequently he showed that the most sensitive for identification of these types involved the use of capsule substance adsorbed by erythrocytes in hemagglutination test. It may be somewhat difficult to conduct the hemagglutination test in small laboratory, because relatively large amounts of antisera and erythrocytes of the human O type are required for the test. A simple method for serological typing of P. multocida was the slide agglutination test employed by Little et al. (1943) and Namioka et al. (1962), but this method is still in controversy. The author tried adapting Carter's hemagglutination method to the slide method so called "micromethod technique", and studied on the stabilization of erythrocytes for use of slide hemagglutination to P. multocida although many invesigators reported the stabilization of erythrocytes. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. A simplified method (slide method) for capsule typing of the organism was developed by adapting Carter's hemagglutination reaction(tube method). Antibody-containing serum can be diluted serially on Boerner's microtest slide with capillary or serological pipetts with a considerable accuracy. The slide reaction can be carried out with case on the slide by adding $0.05m{\ell}$ of antigen-sensitized erythrocytes suspension diluted to one percent on $0.05m{\ell}$ of serially diluted antibody-containing sera, and the final result can be read after 60 minutes at the room temperature ($15^{\circ}C$). 2. It is difficult to determine superiority of inferiority between the slide method and the tube method on the pattern of the reaction of hemagglutination. 3. The pH range of 6.6 to 8.3 is optimal for the slide hemagglutination reaction. 4. The antigen-sensitization against erythrocytes at $37^{\circ}C$ is optimal for the slide hemagglutination. 5. Both the doses and concentration of antigen do not influence the antigen-adsorbing capacity of erythrocytes. 6. The reduction of antigen-sensitizing hours does not influence the antigen-adsorbing capacity of erythrocytes even 30 minutes. 7. The tannic acid treatment against formalinized and non-formalinized erythrocytes showed no effect on the reaction of hemagglutination. 8. The erythrocytes preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ in the ACD solution do not decrease the reactivity on the reaction of hemagglutination for 60 days, while they begin slight hemolysis 30 days after preserving. 9. The stable preparation of erythrocytes can be obtained by treating the cells at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours with from 4 to 8 percent of formalin in saline or buffer. These cells can be preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ for more than 8 months experimented without hemolysis. With low concentration of formalin, the cells were not sufficiently stabilized resulting in the hemolysis after short period of preservation at $4^{\circ}C$. 10. The erythrocytes treated with 16 percent of formalin remain constantly or increase the reactivity for the reaction of hemagglutination. On the contrary, the cells treated with I to 8 percent of formalin decrease the reactivity. 11. There is no difference between nontreated fresh erythrocytes and the erythrocytes preserved in the ACD solution on the reactivity against the hemagglutination, and the erythrocytes treated with 16 percent of formalin showed the reactivity of higher level than that of the above two kinds of erythrocytes. 12. There is no difference between the saline and the isotonic buffer solution on the reaction of hemagglutination.

  • 서론: 종래의 PET 영상 재구성에 있어서 FBP 등에 비해 3차원 반복 재구성 방법이 일반적으로 대체하고 있으며, 이것은 검출기 기하학적 특성과 완벽한 3차원 산란 평가 및 저잡음 randoms 평가 등의 더 진보된 재구성 알고리즘을 제공하고 활용되고 있다. 최근에 SharpIR알고리즘은 3차원 반복 재구성 알고리즘으로 PET 검출기 응답 정보를 통합하여 PET 영상의 잡음을 효과적으로 감소시켜 대조도를 향상 시키기 위한 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 반복 시스템 모델인 SharpIR에 대한 성능 평가와 임상에서의 적용 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 실험재료 및 방법: 검출기 응답에 대한 분해능을 측정하기 위해 유리관(내경 1.1 mm, 두께 0.2 mm)에 $^{18}F$-FDG (250 MBq/mL)을 주입하여 축 방향 시야의 중심과 축 방향으로 5, 10, 15, 20 cm만큼 떨어진 지점에서 획득하였고 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성하여 각각의 영상에서 반치폭을 구하였다. 또한 영상품질평가로 image quality phantom (NU2-2001)을 이용하여, 여러 개의 각각 다른 반지름을 가지는 원형구에 cold (직경 28, 37 mm)와 ho (직경 10, 13, 17, 22 mm)부분을 나누어 배경잡음을 주고 영상의 대조도를 평가하였다. 획득된 영상은 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성을 하였다. 임상실험에서는 전신검사를 시행받은 환자 중 병소가 있는 환자 10명을 대상으로 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성하였다. 이때 iterations을 1~10까지 변경하여 병소 부위와 간 부위에 관심영역을 설정하여 대조도를 평가하였다. 결과: VUE point HD로 재구성한 영상에서는 시야 중심으로부터 축방향 거리 증가와 함께 반치폭이 함께 증가하였지만 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성한 영상에서는 거리가 증가하여도 일정한 반치폭을 나타냈다. 대조도는 팬텀 실험과 임상 실험에서 VUE point HD-SharpIR이 VUE point HD보다 대조도의 향상을 나타냈다. 결론: 검출기 시스템 응답에 대한 더 많은 정보를 포함시킴으로써 SharpIR 알고리즘은 VUE point HD에서 사용되는 기본 모델의 정확성을 향상시켰다. 또한 SharpIR은 VUE point HD보다 각각의 복셀에 관련된 더 많은 측정 위치를 가지는 시스템 모델이기 때문에 더욱 정교한 재구성 모델의 결과를 나타내기 위해 더 많은 반복이 걸린다. 결론적으로 SharpIR은 PET 영상에서 대조도를 향상시켰고 임상에서 적용할 수 있는 최적화된 재구성 조건을 알아보기 위해 종단적 연구를 통해 적용한다면 임상에서 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

  • 위확대염전 (gastric dilatation and volvulus; GDV)는 위급하고 생명을 위협하는 질병으로 보통 대형견에서 호발한다. 하지만 17살 Shih-tzu (4 kg, 중성화 암컷)가 급성 위확대염전으로 응급내원한 경우가 있었다. 내원했을 당시 지속적인 헛구역질, 무기력, 그리고 과도하게 확장된 복부가 관찰되었다. 신체검사상 환자는 저체온증 ($36.5^{\circ}C$), 심박수 항진 (240 bpm), 느려진 모세혈관 재충만 시간 (> 2초)였고 점막은 창백한 색이었다. 폐음은 정상적이었지만 3단계의 murmur를 청진상 확인하였다. 복부타진을 통해서 복부 양쪽으로 공명하는 부위의 존재가 확인되었다. 수축기혈압은 220에서 시작해서 40 mmHg까지 4시간동안 점진적으로 감소하였다. 혈액검사상, blood urea nitrogen (BUN; 29.1 mg/dl)과creatinine (1.6 mg/dl)의 값을 토대로 미약한 질소혈증 상태였다. 혈중 젖산 농도는 (8.13 mmol/l)로 심각하게 증가해있었다. 추가적인 방사선 검사를 통해서 위확대염전을 확인하였다. 위내 압력을 줄이기 위해, 위천공과 비위삽관을 통한 기체와 액체 제거를 실시하는 동안 보조적으로 산소, 열, 수액, 그리고 약물들을 처치하였다. 또한 dobutamine의 정맥내투여에도 불구하고 수축기혈압이 일정하게 유지되지 않았고, 이에 따라 혼수상태에 빠지고 말았다. 환자의 나이와 복지를 고려하여 안락사가 결정되어 생을 마감하였다. 이번 경우는 최종적으로 위확대염전으로 진단되었으며, 이는 Shih-tzu와 같은 소형견에서 보고되는 첫 위확대염전 case라는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • 핀홀 콜리메이터는 목적 장기 영상의 확대와 고 분해능을 필요로 하는 검사에 사용하며 주로 갑상선 검사와 전신 뼈 검사 시 정적검사에 이용되어 왔다. 현재 임상에 적용할 수 있는 핀홀 콜리메이터 초점 직경은 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm 및 8 mm의 4종류가 있지만 기존 핀홀 콜리메이터 검사는 모든 검사에 있어서 4 mm 직경의 초점만을 이용한 검사를 시행해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 실험을 통한 각각의 초점 직경별 성능을 비교 평가해보고 임상에 적용시킬 수 있도록 알아보고자 하였다. Gamma camera E.CAM을 이용하였으며 핀홀 콜리메이터와 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm의 4가지 초점을 준비하였다. 분해능 실험을 위해 capillary tube를 이용한 선 선원과 micro deluxe phantom을 사용하였으며 선 선원을 이용한 FWHM과 micro deluxe phantom을 이용한 육안 평가를 하였으며 두 가지의 분해능 실험 모두 인위적인 방법을 통한 핀홀 SPECT를 통해 영상을 획득하여 분석하였고 thyroid phantom을 이용하여 5분 시간 설정법과 230 kcounts 계수 설정법에 대한 영상비교와 각 초점별 시간 설정법에 대한 계수치와 계수 설정법에 대한 검사 소요시간을 비교하였으며 thyroid phantom을 만든 후의 일반영상과 24시간 후의 지연영상의 100 kcounts 계수를 획득 후 열소와 주변부의 $150mm^2$ ROI를 설정하여 SNR, uniformity, contrast값을 비교해 보았다. 선 선원을 이용한 FWHM 평가에서는 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm의 각 초점별로 2.2 mm FWHM, 3.2 mm FWHM, 5.4 mm FWHM, 7.5 mm FWHM의 FWHM이 측정되었고 micro deluxe phantom을 이용한 육안평가에서는 초점이 작아질수록 분해능이 점차 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. Thyroid phantom 5분 시간 설정법에 대한 계수치는 각 초점별로 27 kcounts, 96 kcounts, 228 kcounts, 410 kcounts가 획득되었으며 230 kcounts의 계수 설정법에 대한 검사 소요시간은 각 초점별로 39.7분, 11.5분, 5분, 2.7분이 소요되어 초점이 커질수록 감도가 향상 되었다. 일반영상과 지연영상의 SNR 평가에서는 2, 4, 6, 8 mm 각 초점별 값은 일반영상에서 6.55, 8.47, 6.2, 5.23으로 4 mm 초점에서 가장 높은 SNR값이 나타났으며 지연영상에서 5.25, 5.01, 5.38, 5.82로 8 mm 초점에서 가장 높은 SNR값이 나타났다. Uniformity 평가에서는 0.152, 0.118, 0.161, 0.19로 4 mm 초점에서 가장 낮은 uniformity값이 나타났으며 지연영상에서 0.19, 0.199, 0.185, 0.171로 8 mm 초점에서 가장 낮은 uniformity값이 나타났다. Contrast평가에서 일반영상은 1.31, 1.19, 1.15, 1.01로 2 mm 초점에서 가장 높은 contrast값이 나타났으며 지연영상은 1.09, 1.08, 1.04, 1로 2 mm 초점에서 가장 높은 contrast값이 나타났다. 본 연구는 핀홀 콜리메이터의 초점별 성능을 비교해 보고자 하였다. 감도와 분해능은 초점 크기에 따른 영향이 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 2 mm 초점은 고 분해능 영상을 획득할 수 있지만 낮은 감도로 인해 소동물형 검사나 환자의 방사능이 충분할 경우에 유용한 검사가 될 것이다. 6 mm, 8 mm 초점은 분해능 저하는 있지만 높은 감도로 인해 중증환자나 움직임이 많은 소아의 경우 유용하게 사용할 수 있으며 지연 영상 시 큰 초점의 높은 감도와 SNR, uniformity의 장점을 활용한다면 전신 뼈 검사 시 지연된 핀홀 정적검사에 고려해 볼 수 있다.

  • A review on the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering in 1998 and 1999 has been done. Focus has been put on current status of research in the aspect of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation and building environment. The conclusions are as follows. 1) A review of the recent studies on fluid flow, turbomachinery and pipe-network shows that many experimental investigations are conducted in applications of impingement jets. Researches on turbulent flows, pipe flows, pipe-networks are focused on analyses of practical systems and prediction of system performance. The results of noise reduction in the turbomachinery are also reported. 2) A review of the recent studies on heat transfer analysis and heat exchanger shows that there were many papers on the channel flow with the application to the design of heat exchanger in the heat transfer analysis. Various experimental and numerical papers on heat exchanger were also published, however, there were few papers available for the analysis of whole system including heat exchanger. 3) A review of the recent studies on heat pump system have focused on the multi-type system and the heat pump cycle to utilize treated sewage as the heat source. The defrosting and the frosting behaviors in the fin-tube heat exchanger is experimentally examined by several authors. Several papers on the ice storage cooling system are presented to show the dynamic simulation program and optimal operation conditions. The study on the micro heat pipes for the cooling of high power electronic components is carried out to examine the characteristics of heat and mass transfer processed. In addition to these, new type of separate thermosyphon is studied experimentally. 4) The recent studies on refrigeration/air conditioning system have focused on the system performance and efficiency for new alternative refrigerants. New systems operating with natural refrigerants are drawing lots of attention. In addition to these, evaporation and condensation heat transfer characteristics of traditional and new refrigerants are investigated for plain tubes and also for microfin tubes. Capillary tubes and orifice are main topics of research as expansion devices and studies on thermophysical properties of new refrigerants and refrigerant/oil mixtures are widely carried out. 5) A review of the recent studies on absorption cooling system shows that numerous experimental and analytical studies on the improvement of absorber performance have been presented. Dynamic analysis of compressor have been performed to understand its vibration characteristics. However research works on tow-phase flow and heat transfer, which could be encountered in the refrigeration system and various phase-change heat exchanger, were seemed to be insufficient. 6) A review of recent studies on duct system shows that the methods for circuit analysis, and flow balancing have been presented. Researches on ventilation are focused on the measurement of ventilation efficiency, and variation of ventilation efficiency with ventilation methods by numerous experimental and numerical studies. Furthermore, many studies have been conducted in real building in order to estimate indoor thermal environments. Many research works to get some information for cooling tower design have been performed but are insufficient. 7) A review on the recent studies on architectural thermal environment and building mechanical systems design shows that thermal comfort analysis is sitting environment, thermal performance analysis of Korean traditional building structures., and evaluation of building environmental load have been performed. However research works to improve the performance of mechanical system design and construction technology were seemed to be insufficient.
