1.The Type of Medical Service Desired by Those Communities Which at Present have None.
Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1978;11(1):49-58
To try to determine the type of medical service wanted by the rural population, in Chungnam Province, a survey amongst the populations of 6 counties was conducted; Within the 6 counties, 2 local communities, which had no access to local medical services, were surveyed. The 12 communities were actively involved in Sae-Maul activities, and total number of households surveyed, was 822. The survey was conducted over a 1 month period, from July 16th, 1976, thru August 20th, and the followings are the results, summarized. 1. The largest number of respondents desired a combination of Public Health Center and Country Hospital, followed in order by Private Clinic and Modern Medical Facility. 2. The respondents, aged under 40 years, desired the Private Clinic type medical service, whilst those over 40 years of age, wanted the County Hospital, and as the numbers in this age bracket, were larger, so the ratio was much higher. 3. Sex, educational background, and occupation did not play any particular emphasis in the decisions. 4. Monthly income affected the responses to the survey. These in the lower-income bracket, wanted the County Hospital, and the ratio was high. These in the high income bracket desired the Modern Medical Service, accordingly. Those with an income of 50,000 won or less, amongst the low-income bracket, favored the Public Health sub-center type of service. The ratio for this service was very high.

2.Construction and Immuno - biochemical Studies of Chimeric Polioviruses Expressing Multivalent V3 / PND - concatamers of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1.
Journal of Bacteriology and Virology 2001;31(3):281-290
Poliovirus Sabin 1 strain has its own special features that make it a particularly attractive live recombinant mucosal vaccine vehicle. Sabin 1 cDNA was manipulated to have multiple cloning site and viral specific 3C-protease cutting site at the N-terminal end of the polyprotein, named RPS-vax system HIV-1 V3- and principal neutralizing domain (PND)-concatamers were successfully cloned into the multiple cloning site of the vector system and produced expected chimeric viruses by transfection of their RNA transcripts into HeLa cells. These chimeric viruses have shown to express introduced HIV-1 subgenome concatamers efficiently during their replication in the infected HeLa cells. Expressed proteins were confirmed to retain the wild type structures at least in parts. Replication capacity of the chimeric viruses was slightly lower than that of wild type Sabin 1 likely to be due to delay in processing steps during their replication. Differing from the virulent Mahoney vectors, the rec-Sabin 1 chimeric viruses maintained the foreign gene stably during the serial passages. These chimeric viruses have also shown to be able to induce specific humoral immunity to the introduced vaccine proteins when inoculated into the poliovirus receptor-expressing transgenic (Tg-PVR) mice. Antiserum obtained from the immunized transgenic mice showed to have neutralizing capacity to HIV-1 in vitro. These results strongly suggest that the chimeric viruses expressing HIV-1 vaccine epitopes can be used as a good live mucosal vaccine candidate against AIDS.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effect of preeclampsia, birth weight, fetal sex, maternal body mass index(BMI) on cord blood leptin concentrations. This study is to test whether leptin would be increased in preeclampsia and to test cord leptin concentrations for correlation with maternal leptin concentrations. METHOD: Maternal blood samples were obtained from 56 normal pregnancies and 24 preeclampsia women prior to delivery. Umbilical cord blood were obtained from the all cases studied immediately after delivery. The total leptin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Mean maternal leptin level was 16.4+/-6.4ng/ml in normal pregnancy and was 19.4+/-7.9 ng/ml in preeclampsia. Mean cord leptin level was 5.4+/- 3.4ng/ml in normal pregnancy and 4.6+/-3.2ng/ml in preecalmpsia. Mean cord blood leptin level in female fetus was 6.6+/-3.7ng/ml and 4.8+/-2.8ng/ml in male fetus. CONCLUSION: This study shows that there are correlation with leptin level and fetal birth weight, body mass index, and fetal gender. Furthermore, physiologic role and mechanism of leptin of maternal serum and umbilical cord would be studied.

Fracture healing in the hand is not an isolated goal. The functional end result is of paramount importance. When the correct techniques are used, miniplate fixation for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures of the hand provides rigid internal fixation, stabilizes the skeleton, preserves the gliding tissue, and therefore allowing immediate active range of motion exercise as well as minimizing joint and tendon complications. The authors have reviewed 39 patients, 52 cases of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures of the hand which were treated with miniplate in the department of orthopaedic surgery, Chang Ang Gil hospital from Sep. 1989 to Feb. 1993. The following results were obtained. 1. Miniplate fixation, in terms of fracture reduction and maintenance, allows on accurate anatomic reduction with rigid fixation which in turn affords on early mobilization without loss of reduction alignment. 2. The roentgenographic union was obtained within 15.1 weeks in average. The mean total acitve motion at the fractured finger was 230°. The complication rate was 11.5%. 3. In the treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures of the hand, especially fractures of metacarpal bones, fixation with miniplate is considered to be an useful method in terms of getting fracture union and good range of motion with relative low complication rates.
