Glycopyrrolate, a synthetic quarternary ammonium compound, has a similar pharmacologic property to that of scopolamine, a belladonna alkaloid. Since glycopyrrolate, a quarternary ammonium compound, dose not readily cross the blood brain barrier, it has less central effect than that of scopoiamine a tertiary-amine compound. The authors administered a small dose of scopolamine and glycopyrrolate to human volunteers, and examined the effect on the heart rate ofr both drugs. The results were as follows: 1) A small dose of scopolamine(0.1mg) showed significnat decrease in the heart rate. 2) A small dose of gylcopyrrolate(0.1mg) indeced little change in the heart rate. 3) A small dose of gylcopyrrolate(0.1mg), 10minutes after glycopyrrolate(0.1mg), showed marked increase in the heart rate. 4) A small dose of scopolamine(0.1mg), given 10 minutes after glycopyrrolate (0.1mg), showed tendency for decrease in heart kate. 5) A small dose of gylcopyrrolate(0.1mg), 10 minutes afterscopolamine(0.1mg), showed significant increases in the heart rate. 6) Scopolamine induced bradycardia was suppressed by an additional dose of glycopyrrolate and a preceding dose of glycopyrrolate.

3.The Usefulness of the PCL Power Calculation Computer Program: 'POWER!'.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2002;43(1):23-28
PURPOSE: To assess the usefulness and reliability of the IOL power calculation computer program ('POWER!'). METHODS: Calculation times and projected postoperative refractive values of 100 patients with 'POWER!' program were compared with those of the program mounted on the Humphrey R A/B scan system (model 820) by SRK-II and SRK/T formula. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the projected postoperative refractive values of 'POWER!' program and Humphrey R A/B scan system (paired-t test, p>0.05). Calculation time of 'POWER!' was shorter than that of the program mounted on the Humphrey R A/B scan system incalculating more than 3 sets of IOL (paired-t test, P<0.05) and there was no internal calculation error (ztest, p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: 'POWER!' is a useful and reliable program for IOL power calculation using SRK-II and SRK/T formula.

4.Understanding noninferiority trials.
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2012;55(11):403-407
Noninferiority trials test whether a new experimental treatment is not unacceptably less efficacious than an active control treatment already in use. With continuous improvements in health technologies, standard care, and clinical outcomes, the incremental benefits of newly developed treatments may be only marginal over existing treatments. Sometimes assigning patients to a placebo is unethical. In such circumstances, there has been increasing emphasis on the use of noninferiority trial designs. Noninferiority trials are more complex to design, conduct, and interpret than typical superiority trials. This paper reviews the concept of noninferiority trials and discusses some important issues related to them.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to explore what experiences nurses had while caring and providing emotional support for patients. METHODS: Participants were eight nurses working at hospitals for more than one year. Data were collected from June, 2006 to January, 2007 through in-depth interview by using tape-recordings. Data were analysed with the phenomenological method proposed by Colazzi(1978). RESULTS: From significant statements, 4 clustered themes, 7 themes and 23 sub-themes were extracted from the essential meaning of the emotional experience of hospital nurses. The 4 clustered themes were 'movement of mind', 'affection and service for patients', 'worthwhile and conflict' and 'control oneself'. The 7 themes were 'special feeling', 'rapport formation', 'consideration', 'human interaction', 'value discovery', 'loss of volition', and 'keep to balance'. CONCLUSION: Although nurses had tough experiences for providing care for patients' emotional support, they had also experienced spiritual maturity from its experience. The result of this study would contribute for nurses not only to care for patients who need emotional support but also to develop knowledge in nursing.
