BACKGROUND: To access the accuracy and clinical usefulness of microplate identification (ID) system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae, we compared microplate ID system with API 20E(bioMerieux, Etoile, France). METHODS: Ninety-two cultures of Enterobacteriaceae and one isolate of Aeromonas species were simultaneously identified by microplate ID system and the API 20E. Twenty biochemical tests used in microplate ID system were lactose, sucrose, and H2S in Kligler's iron agar media; indole, sucrose, raffinose, arabinose, trehalose, adonitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, cellibiose, methy-red, phenylalanine deaminase, ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and citrate in microplate; and oxidase test. The identification was obtained by considering percent likelihood(% ID), modal frequency and ID score method. RESULTS: Among the 92 cultures of Enterobacteriaceae and one isolate of Aeromonas species, agreement rate of identification according to the % ID between microplate ID system and API 20E were 90.3% to the species level and 97.8% to the genus level. CONCLUSIONS: For the identification of clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates, the microplate ID system compares favorably with API 20E in identification accuracy and have the advantage of costsaving and easy to use.

We report a cace of 69-year-old man who developed massive pulmonary hemorrhage and subsuquent adult respiratory distress syndrome following intravenous urokinase for acute myocardial infarction. Pulmonary hemorrhage is a rare but a potentially life-threatening complication after thrombolytic therapy and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates of falling hemoglobin after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction with no obvious site of bleeding.

OBJECTIVES: Schizophrenia manifests a variety of interindividual differences in therapeutic response to antipsychotics. This might be attributable to dopamine and serotonin receptors that a important target for various antipsychotics, and the D3 receptor(DRD3) alleles they carry. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether the plasma levels of homovanillic acid(HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(HIAA), and the polymorphism of DRD3 can be held as a predictor of treatment response ni chronic schizophrenic patients. METHODS: Therapeutic response for 16 korean schizophrenia patient treated during 48 weeks were assessed by PANSS used as the clinical symptom rating scales. The levels of concentration of HVA and 5-HIAA were examined by HPLC at baseline and at 48 weeks. We classified the polymorphism of DRD3 receptor using amplifying by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). RESULTS: Neither concentrations of HVA and 5-HIAA nor genotype of dopamine 3 receptor were not significantly associated with the therapeutic response. But, the patients who has A1 alleles of DRD3 gene showed poor therapeutic responses. CONCLUSION: A1 allele of DRD3 gene is associated with poor prognosis of chronic schizophrenia.

Journal of Korean Clinical Nursing Research 2025;31(1):59-68
Purpose:
This study aimed to examine the levels of clinical decision-making ability, role conflict, and nursing work performance ability and to identify factors influencing nursing work performance ability among emergency room nurses.
Methods:
This study emploved a descriptive correlational research design. A total of 137 emergency room nurses, were participated. Data were collected at three tertiary hospitals located in city B, from June 1 to August 25, 2024. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS 29.0 program.
Results:
The average score of clinical decision-making ability was 3.31, while role conflict and nursing work performance ability both had an average score of 3.77. Factors influencing nursing work performance ability included clinical decision-making ability, role conflict, and annual salary, which explained 20.0% of the variance in nursing work performance ability.
Conclusion
Clinical decision-making ability and role conflict significantly impact nursing work performance among emergency room nurses. Strategies to enhance clinical decision-making skills and mitigate role conflict should be developed at the organizational level. Additionally, further research is needed to on appropriate compensation systems and institutional measures to enhance nursing work performance.

PURPOSE: To compare dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and investigate the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) onintraocular pressure. METHODS: In a prospective study of 165 eyes with glaucoma (135 eyes), glaucoma suspect (14 eyes), and ocular hypertension (16 eyes), intraocularpressure was measured with DCT and GAT, and followed by measurement of the CCT with ultrasound pachymetry. Statistical analysis were performed with simple linear regression analysis and t-test using SPSS (Statistical software, ver. 10; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). RESULTS: A clear correlation between DCT and GAT was found (r=0.733, p<0.001). The average intraocular pressure was 14.92+/-2.28 mmHg with DCT and 13.97+/-3.12 mmHg with GAT, and the intraocular pressure with DCT was 0.95+/-2.49 mmHg higher than with GAT. A meaningful correlation was shown between GAT and CCT (r2=0.145, p<0.001), but was not demonstrated between DCT and CCT (r2=0.012, p=0.081). In addition, the difference of intraocular pressure between GAT and DCT (GAT-DCT) showed a significant correlation with CCT (r2=0.145, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: DCT appears to be a reliable method for intraocular pressure measurement, which is not influenced by CCT, unlike GAT.
