Herein we report the case of a 71-year-old woman who complained of fatigue and enlarged right axillary lymph nodes for 18 months. At her first visit, her chest X-ray showed diffuse nodular opacities in both lung fields. Initial excisional biopsy of the axillary lymph nodes showed granulomatous lesions and acid fast bacilli were seen on Ziehl-Neelsen staining. However, even after 15 months of anti-tuberculosis (TB) medication, her right axillary lymph nodes were enlarged. We re-performed an excisional biopsy of the nodes, which showed Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). A retrograde review of the biopsy before anti-tuberculous medication, revealed HL coexisting with TB. HL and TB cause difficulties in differential diagnosis due to similarities in clinical course, imaging procedures and histopathological analysis of the involved tissue. Therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of concurrent HL and TB when patients who undergo treatment for TB or chemotherapy for lymphoma complain of persistent systemic symptoms or enlarged lymph nodes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence, health behaviors, and control of hypertension in rural areas in Korea. Method: A total of 927 subjects above age 20 were selected from the areas which fell under the jurisdiction of the 24 Community Health Center located in Chungcheongbuk-do. The employees in the Community Health Center visited and interviewed patients. Data were collected using a questionnaire from July to October 2002. Result: The result showed that women had higher hypertension prevalence rates than men and the increment of its rate leveled up according to age. The hypertension prevalence rate was significantly high when the monthly income was less than 1 million won, their type of the Medical Insurance was the Guardian, they were only able to read Korean characters, and they were bereaved of spouses. In the Health behavior related to hypertension, the hypertension group showed a significantly lower level than the non- hypertension group in terms of drinking rate, smoking rate, intake of salt and intake of meat. There was no significant difference in the exercise rate and coffee intake rate between these groups. In the degree of the obesity the hypertension group was significantly higher than the non-hypertension group. The factors related to hypertension were that the duration for the incidence of hypertension was 12 to 60 months and took up 41.2%. The places where the medical check-ups occurred were the Community Health Center at 46.6%, the medical institution was mostly hospitals recording 46.5%. There were 66.1% of the targets who knew well about their blood pressure and there were 64.7% people who received education about it. As for the education place, the rate of Community Health Center was mostly high and it stood at 77.0%. In the aspect of the management of hypertension, the targets who took medicine on a regular basis were up to 76.1% and the targets who measured blood pressure once a month happened to be about 46.1 %. The targets who always recorded their blood pressure were 3.8%, chest X-ray as a related examination of hypertension reached 32.6%, electrocardiogram examination was 36.2%, cholesterol and serum lipid examination took up 33.6%, and the eye ground examination took 7.3%, which showed the lowest level of all.

We analyzed image factors to determine the characteristic factors that need for intelligent replenishment system of the auto film processor. We processed the serial 300 sheets of radiographic films of chest phantom without replenishment of developing and fixation replenisher. We took the digital data by using film digitizer which scaned the films and automatically summed up the pixel values of the films. We analyzed characteristic curves, average gradients and relative speeds of individual film using densitometer and step densitometry. We also evaluated the pH of developer, fixer, and washer fluid with digital pH meter. Fixer residual rate and washing effect were measured by densitometer using the reagent methods. There was no significant reduction of the digital density numbers of the serial films without replenishment of developer and fixer. The average gradients were gradually decreased by 0.02 and relative speeds were also gradually decreased by 6.96% relative to initial standard step-densitometric measurement. The pHs of developer and fixer were reflected the inactivation of each fluid. The fixer residual rates and washing effects after processing each 25 sheets of films were in the normal range. We suggest that the digital data are not reliable due to limitation of the hardware and software of the film digitizer. We conclude that average gradient and relative speed which mean the film's contrast and sensitivity respectively are reliable factors for determining the need for the replenishment of the auto film processor. We need more study of simpler equations and programming for more intelligent replenishment system of the auto film processor.

The purpose of this research is to plan the activation of university health business through the appraisal of the function and role of university health centers. To be more specific: Firstly, analyze the facility, personnel, health service of the health centers, Secondly, appraise the role and function of the health centers, and Thirdly, consider the activation plans of health centers. The research method taken was the study of surveys conducted and written research materials on 5 women's universities in Seoul. These materials where descriptively analyzed by converting the surveys, facility and usage of health center and current personnel status in to percentage. The major results of the research are as follows: Unlike as stated in each university's additional clause on the number of personnel were working. This lack of specialized personnel resulted into lack of specialized and various services. Medicine for external application were stocked well whereas only simple medicine for internal application were on shelf and were issued only with a doctor's prescription. Universities with a full-time doctor had various available equipments. One university conducting dental treatment was equipped with indirect chest camera, dental X-ray, unit, chair(dental treatment chair) and even supersonic, electrocardiogram were available. In the case of D women's university, the number of beds compared to the number of students was lower than that of the other 3 universities, to the total size of the university was smaller than that of the other 3 universities. Among health prevention and care matters, health consultation was the only matter practised by all universities. Uniquely, there was one university that hosted epidemic prevention business. There are various tests given by each university, with each showing many differences, but some universities did not even conduct these tests. Vaccinations were usually being conducted through commission. All universities provided basic treatment, therefore matters concerning treatment at health centers were being conducted well. Concerning the management of equipment and documents, all the matters were being conducted except one university where instead of a student medical record, they were using a daily record. Because these were women's universities, most of the educations were on women's health. The subjects of these educations included: sex, contraception, prevention and control of tuberculosis, obesity, mouth hygiene, alcohol, geriatric disease, mental health and first-aid. The rate of health center usage is growing. Being women's universities, the service and treatment practised were mostly concerning sex education.

기관지 유암종의 두 아형(전형적 & 이형성)은 치료방침에 차이가 있으므로, 아형에 따른 CT 소견의 차이와, 수술전 병리학적 진단의 정확도를 알아보고자 하였다. 수술후 기관지 유암종으로 확진되고, 수술전 CT를 시행한 10예(전형적:5예, 이형성:5예)를 대상으로 하였다. 수술전 진단으로 객담세포 검사(n=10), 기관지내시경 생검(n=8), 그리고 경피적 세침검사(n=1)가 시행되었다. CT소견을 두 아형에 따라 비교하였다. 전형적 유암종 5예 모두 중심성 기관지강내 종괴로, 조영 증강되었고, 변연은 매끈하였다. 2예에서는 종괴로 폐쇄된 기관지 내강의 끝이 넓어지는 코끼리 다리(elephant foot) 모양을 보였다. 이형성 유암종은 5예 중 2예는 말초성 병변이었고, 중심성인 3예는 기관지내강 종괴로, 기관지내강의 끝이 넓어지지 않는 평평한 반월(flat meniscus)모양이거나(n=2), 미만성 기관지벽 비후로 보였다(n=1). 전 예에서 조영 증강되었으나, 1예에서는 괴사에 의한 종괴내 저밀도 부위가 동반되었다. 변연 확인이 가능한 2예에서는 각각 침상상과 분엽상을 보였다. 수술전 진단으로, 객담세포 검사, 경피적 세침검사 등은 전 예에서 정확한 진단을 하지 못했고, 기관지내시경 생검은 시행된 8예 중 전형적 유암종 3예만을 정확히 진단하였다. 다른 예는 비소세포성 폐암으로 해석되었다. CT상 전형적 유암종은 조영 증강되는 기관지강내 종괴로 보이는 반면, 이형적 유암종의 형태는 다양하였다. 수술전 진단에 있어서, 일부 전형적 유암종과 이형성 유암종 전부는 진단이 정확하지 못했다. 이형성 유암종은 전부 원발성 폐암으로 수술전 진단되었으나, 절제술 선택에 영향을 끼치지는 않는다. 그러나 전형적 유암종의 경우, 보존적 절제술이 가능하므로, CT소견을 숙지하는 것이, 수술전 병리진단 결과와 일치하지 않을 경우, 아형에 따른 적절한 절제술식을 선택하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

본 연구는 복합부가여과에서 높은 원자번호 물질에서 발생된 특성방사선을 제거하기 위해 사용되는 알루미늄 여과판의 효율성을 분석하고자 양자검출효율, 화질평가를 실시하였다. 구리 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm 에 알루미늄 1mm 사용 전, 후를 평가하였다. IEC 규정에 의해 선질, 양자검출효율을 실험하고 화질평가는 PSNR, MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR 정성적 평가로는 국가암검진 흉부 평가표의 해상, 대조도 평가 7문항을 이용하였다. MTF 10, 50%에서 4.6, 2.54 cycle/mm 모두 동일했고 NPS, DQE, PSNR MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR, 정성적 평가는 모두 알루미늄 미사용 시 같거나 약간 우수했다. PSNR은 30 dB이상으로 모두 의미있는 수치였고 정성적 평가에서 T-test 검정은 p>0.05였다. 알루미늄 여과판은 광자검출효율과 화질 평가에서 사용 전, 후 큰 차이가 없으므로 특성 방사선 제거를 통한 피부선량 감소를 위해 사용됨이 효율적이라고 사료된다.
