This study was surveyed to assess the status of safety accidents occurred in work-places and prepare the fundamental data and prevent the safety accidents. The authors reviewed and analysed the charts of accident cases treated at a primary care clinic in A city from January 1991 to December 2006. The data were classified according to the USA Standards Institute and International Labour Organization method. We analyzed the data using SPSS program. The results were as follows : 1. The total cases of accidents were 455 for 8 years. 2. Accidents were mostly common in the workers who are in thirties and forties age(84.4%). 3. As season variation, spring and summer were common than others, but there was no statistical significance on season, month and weekday. 4. The most frequent injured part of the body were hand and finger, which was 36.0% among total cases. 5. According to the accidents type, cases of caught in, under or between were most frequently observed as 53.9% of the total cases. 6. The most common source of injuries was power machine(50.5%). 7. According to the unsafe acts, cases of carelessness and unsafe information were most frequently observed as 71.2% of the total cases. 8. Admission rate(5.5%) and official report rate(2.2%) were very low rate. As above results, the authors recommend to prepare the systemic control programs on environmental and human factors of safety accidents such as improving the working conditions, working facilities, working methods and safety education, and control of working time for working day.

The adjudication of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal (KMST) was analyzed to collect basic data to identify the cause of the risk that did not appear in the current data provided by the fishermen's occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) in stow net fishing vessel from 2015 to 2019. The personnel's carelessness was the most common in 29 out of 33 accidents (87.9%), followed by 25 cases (75.8%) of inadequacy of instructions, 24 cases (72.7%) of inadequacy of education on hazard factor, 20 cases (60.6%) of no personal protection equipment, 18 cases (54.5%) of poor guard, 17 cases (51.5%) of inadequacy of work method, 16 cases (48.5%) of absence of emergency stop button, 14 cases (42.4%) of work practice of poor safety precautions that affected more than 40% of all accidents as accident causes. These causes had a strong influence on each other, and the ratio of accident causes is high. With this relationship, accidents can be prevented or the severity of human injury can be reduced if types of accident process can be estimated with a scenario, and the key points before the accident in the scenario are switched to safe points.

The stress distributions on a human mandible for 18 load cases under two different boundary conditions (mouth open and closed), using the three dimensional finite element modeling were studied. Also, the expected fracture loads for each load cases were calculated by using the Von-Mises yield criterion. The model of a mandible with all teeth was composed of 2402 hexahedron elements and 3698 nodes. CAD techniques were used to analyze the 3-dimensional results. The conclusions of this study were as follows: 1. In the mouth open state, the maximum stress occured at the condyle neck; when the lateral load was exerted, the maximum stress occured at the load side condyle. 2. In the mouth closed state, when the loads were exerted on the mandibular body and chin, the maximum stress occured at the loaded area, and when the loads were exerted on the angle and ramus, the maximum stress occured at the condyle neck. 3. The expected fracture loads in each load case were calculated using the Von-Mises yield criterion, and it was confirmed that the mandible in the mouth open state was more easily fractured than that in the mouth closed state, and the expected fracture loads are lesser in the cases that load direction is parallel at mandibular plane than 45°. 4. The magnitudes of the expected fracture loads increased in the order of angle, ramus, body and chin in case of the mouth closed state, while chin, body, angle and ramus in case of the mouth open state. 5. The Von-Mises stress concentration regions analyzed by F.E.M. corresponded well with the results of clinical studies.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the effects of community-based social distancing interventions after the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case in Turkey on the course of the pandemic and to determine the number of prevented cases. Methods: In this ecological study, the interventions implemented in response to the first COVID-19 cases in Turkey were evaluated and the effect of the interventions was demonstrated by calculating the effective reproduction number (R_t) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coro navirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) when people complied with community-based social distancing rules. Results: Google mobility scores decreased by an average of 36.33±22.41 points (range, 2.60 to 84.80) and a median of 43.80 points (interquartile range [IQR], 24.90 to 50.25). The interventions caused the calculated R_t to decrease to 1.88 (95% confidence interval, 1.87 to 1.89). The median growth rate was 19.90% (IQR, 10.90 to 53.90). A positive correlation was found between Google mobility data and R_t (r=0.783; p<0.001). The expected number of cases if the growth rate had not changed was predicted according to Google mobility categories, and it was estimated to be 1 381 922 in total. Thus, community-based interventions were estimated to have prevented 1 299 593 people from being infected. Conclusions: Community-based social distancing interventions significantly decreased the R_t of COVID-19 by reducing human mobility, and thereby prevented many people from becoming infected. Another important result of this study is that it shows health policymakers that data on human mobility in the community obtained via mobile phones can be a guide for measures to be taken.

Fascioliasis is a foodborne zoonotic parasitic disease. We report 4 cases occurring in the same family, in whom diagnosis of acute fascioliasis was established after series of tests. One case was hospitalized with fever, eosinophilia, and hepatic lesions. MRI showed hypodense changes in both liver lobes. The remaining 3 cases presented with the symptom of stomachache only. Stool analysis was positive for Fasciola eggs in 2 adult patients. The immunological test and molecular identification of eggs were confirmed at the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai, China. The results of serological detection were positive in all the 4 patients. DNA sequencing of PCR products of the eggs demonstrated 100% homology with ITS and cox1 of Fasciola hepatica. The conditions of the patients were not improved by broad-spectrum anti-parasitic drugs until administration of triclabendazole.

Elevated levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) are linked with various T-cell neoplasms. However, the relationship between sCD30 levels and the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers remains to be clarified. We here investigated whether plasma sCD30 is associated with risk of ATL in a nested case-control study within a cohort of HTLV-1 carriers. We compared sCD30 levels between 11 cases (i.e., HTLV-1 carriers who later progressed to ATL) and 22 age-, sex- and institution-matched control HTLV-1 carriers (i.e., those with no progression). The sCD30 concentration at baseline was significantly higher in cases than in controls (median 65.8, range 27.2-134.5 U/mL vs. median 22.2, range 8.4-63.1 U/mL, P=0.001). In the univariate logistic regression analysis, a higher sCD30 (${\geq}30.2U/mL$) was significantly associated with ATL development (odds ratio 7.88 and the 95% confidence intervals 1.35-45.8, P = 0.02). Among cases, sCD30 concentration tended to increase at the time of diagnosis of aggressive-type ATL, but the concentration was stable in those developing the smoldering-type. This suggests that sCD30 may serve as a predictive marker for the onset of aggressive-type ATL in HTLV-1 carriers.

광절열두조충(DiphvIobothrium latum)의 parvum형 [syn. DiphvLlobothrium pnnlum (Stephens, 1908)]에 의한 희귀한 인체 감염 2례를 발견하여 보고하고자 한다. 첫 환자는 46세 된 가정주부로서 대변검사에서 의엽조충류의 충란이 발견되어 프라지콴텔과 하제를 투 여하여 치료한 결과 두절이 있는 길이 120 cm인 열두조충의 완전한 충체 1마리를 회수하였 다. 환자는 충주호 부근의 횟집에서 송어회를 먹은 적이 있다고 하였다. 또 한 명의 환자는 평소 각종 생선회를 즐겨 먹는 22세 남자 의과대학생으로, 대변에서 길이 15 cm 정도의 조 충류 편절이 자연 배출되어 동정을 의뢰해 왔다 자세한 형태학적 검토 결과 충체들은 D. parvum으로 과거 문헌에 기록된 충체와 동일하였으나 D. parvum의 분류학적 위치가 정립되어 있지 않으며, 충체. 충란 및 각 기관의 크기가 광절열두조충보다 작다는 점 이외에 별다른 차이점을 인정할 수 없었다. 따라서 본 충체들을 광절열두조충의 소형(parvum형)으로 동정하였고. 이 유형에 의한 국내 최초의 감염 증례들로 보고하는 바이다.
