PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation instrument integrated and interdisciplinary death education for the human service areas such as nursing, social welfare, and education and to test the reliability and validity of it. METHOD: The subjects used to verify the instrument's reliability and validity were 407 students who were enrolled in the departments of nursing, social welfare, and education in universities located in Seoul, Pusan, Daegu, and Daejeon. The data was collected from April to May, 2005, and was analyzed by SPSS/WIN 12. RESULT: A factor analysis was conducted. Items with over a .40 factor loading and over a 1.0 eigen value were selected. Nine identified factors were learning about death, role of professionals, personal attitudes, hospice care, ethics and legal issues, death and dying, spiritual aspect of death, transcultural aspect of death, and multidisciplinary theory of death. The instrument consisted of 44 items and the reliability was a cronbach's of .953 CONCLUSION: Based on the study results, the content scale developed in this study was identified as a tool with a high degree of reliability and validity.

Primary malignant lymphoma of lung is a very rare disease, only 0.34% of all malignant lymphomas. In our case, a 76 year old male patient had a solitary mass without lympha-denopathy at chest CT scan. He underwent right middle lobectomy through a posterolateral thoracotomy incision. Pathologic study confirmed a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and chemotherapy was started by an oncologist.

6.Influenza Vaccines: Unmet Needs and Recent Developments.
Infection and Chemotherapy 2013;45(4):375-386
Influenza is a worldwide public health concern. Since the introduction of trivalent influenza vaccine in 1978, vaccination has been the primary means of prevention and control of influenza. Current influenza vaccines have moderate efficacy, good safety, and acceptable tolerability; however, they have unsatisfactory efficacy in older adults, are dependent on egg supply for production, and are time-consuming to manufacture. This review outlines the unmet medical needs of current influenza vaccines. Recent developments in influenza vaccines are also described.

PURPOSE: The most common causes of neonatal cholestasis are neonatal hepatitis (NH) and extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA). Since neonatal cholestasis presents with variable expression of same pathologic process and has similar clinical, biochemical, and histologic features between EHBA and idiopathic neonatal hepatitis (NH), differential diagnosis is often difficult. We reviewed the differences of clinical characteristics and laboratory data to find out any correlation between the results of Tc(99m) DISIDA scan and presence of acholic stool. METHODS: Between June 1993 and January 2001, total 29 infants younger than 4 month-old underwent Tc(99m) DISIDA scan. Their biochemical tests and clinical course were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Patients who had negative intestinal activity on Tc(99m) DISIDA scan showed acholic stool and revealed higher serum direct bilirubin and urine bilirubin level. 18.2% of patients with acholic stool showed intestinal activity on Tc(99m) DISIDA scan and 81.8% of them did not. All the patients without acholic stool showed positive intestinal activity on Tc(99m) DISIDA scan. The result of Tc(99m) DISIDA scan and the presence of acholic stool showed high negative correlation (r :-0.858). Patients with acholic stool and negative intestinal activity on Tc(99m) DISIDA scan showed higher serum total bilirubin level. Patients without acholic stool and positive intestinal activity on Tc(99m) DISIDA scan showed higher serum level of ALT. CONCLUSION: Patients with acholic stool and negative intestinal activity showed high correlation, but 18.2% of patients with acholic stool showed positive intestinal activity. So operative cholangiogram or transcutaneous liver biopsy should be performed for confirmation.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the AMPLICOR HPV test in comparison with the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) test in detecting HR HPV. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-three consecutive women attending the Colposcopy Clinic were included and cervical scrape specimens were tested for the presence of 13 HR HPV genotypes by both AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay. RESULTS: The prevalence of HR HPV was 53/153 (34.6%) and 52/153 (34.0%) by AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay, respectively. When discordant results were observed between AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay, we used the HPV genotyping DNA chip and DNA sequence analysis, as reference standards. Concordant results were obtained for 128 (83.7%) of the 153 samples (Cohen's kappa=0.63, p<0.001). The genotyping showed that no HR HPV was detected in the 10 AMPLICOR negative HC2 positive samples, while HR HPV genotype was found in 3/13 (23.1%) AMPLICOR positive HC2 negative samples. The detection rates of HR HPV with AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay were 38.7% and 48.4%, respectively, in CIN1; 95.0% and 100%, respectively, in CIN3/cancer. HPV positivity of AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay increased linearly with the increasing grade of cytology or histology (p<0.001). In detecting high grade (CIN2+) lesions, sensitivities were 90.9% (CI, 75.9~97.0%), 95.5% (CI, 81.9~99.0%), respectively, for AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay (p=1.00). The specificities of AMPLICOR HPV test and HC2 assay were 72.7% (CI, 64.3~79.8%) and 69.3% (CI, 60.7~76.7%), respectively (p=0.75). CONCLUSIONS: AMPLICOR HPV test is comparable to HC2 assay for detection of HR HPV, with similar sensitivity and specificity in detecting CIN2+ lesions. AMPLICOR HPV test can be considered clinically useful for detection of HR HPV. However, more data are clearly needed on the performance of AMPLICOR HPV test as a screening tool.

Human metapneumovirus is known to be similar to respiratory syncytial virus. Because of an incomplete protective immune response to new genotypes, re-infection occurs frequently, especially in the elderly. However, the clinical manifestations of human metapneumovirus need to be further characterized in adults. A 73-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with acute dyspnea, chest discomfort and influenza-like illness. The patient was diagnosed with human metapneumovirus infection, complicated by pneumonia and myopericarditis. With supportive care including oxygen supplementation, the patient recovered completely without any serious sequelae. Human metapneumovirus infection may contribute to the development of cardiovascular manifestations, particularly in the elderly population.
