1.The Association of Compliance with Sick Role Behavior with Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs Among Hemodialysis Patients.
Korean Journal of Health Promotion 2012;12(1):58-65
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the association of compliance with sick role behavior with satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and to assess the influence of compliance with sick role behavior among hemodialysis patients. METHODS: Participants included 109 patients from outpatient dialysis clinics at 6 major general hospitals located in urban areas in Korea. Data for compliance with sick role behavior and basic psychological needs were collected through a self-reported questionnaire and was analyzed with independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson' correlation analysis, and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis. RESULTS: This study showed positive correlations between compliance with sick role behavior and satisfaction of basic psychological needs (r=0.59, P<0.001). The variables predicting compliance with sick role behavior were relatedness (beta=0.28), autonomy (beta=0.29), competency (beta=0.30), and age (beta=0.24). These variables accounted for 38.2% of the variance of compliance with sick role behavior in hemodialysis patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that it is necessary to improve compliance with sick role behaviorin order to increase satisfaction of basic psychological needs in hemodialysis patients.

2.Role of Potassium-competitive Acid Blockers in the Treatment of Gastric Acid-related Disorders
The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research 2023;23(3):167-173
Owing to their superior pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles, potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) score over proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in the treatment of gastric acid-related disorders and may provide clinical benefit in the management of these conditions. Previous studies have compared P-CABs with PPIs for treatment of gastric acid-related disorders, and current data show that P-CABs are non-inferior to PPIs in the treatment of erosive esophagitis and as maintenance therapy. P-CABs are useful for effective healing and as maintenance medications in patients with severe esophagitis. These drugs also aid with healing of peptic ulcers and artificial ulcers secondary to gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Few studies have discussed prevention of delayed ulcer bleeding after gastric ESD and ulcers associated with long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug administration. Well-controlled, large-scale prospective studies are warranted in future to compare P-CABs with PPIs.

Kerion celsi is severe inflammatory type of tinea capitis. It occurs almost exclusively in pre-pubertal children. We report a case of Kerion celsi occuring in a 79-year-old woman. Culture of infected hair on Sabouraud glucose agar showed Microsporum canis Farnily history and fungus study suggested the importance of indirect route in Microsporum canis infection.

BACKGROUND: Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system is based on the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay using a ruthenium (II) tris (bipyridyl) label. Since it was the first time to use the system in our laboratory, we would like to evaluate the analytical performances (precision, linearity and recovery rate) and correlation with radioimmunoassay (RIA) and microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) methods. METHODS: We used precicontrol tumor marker (TM1, TM2) for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), prostatic specific antigen (PSA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Precicontrol universal (Ul, U2) for triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), Precicontrol-TSH for thyrotropin (TSH) and pooled serum for the evaluation of precision and recovery rate. Patients' sera were used for the linearity and comparison study. RESULTS: The coefficients of variatron of Imprecision study were below; 4.0%, 8.7% and 10.2%, respectively in the within-run, within-day and between-day analysis. The recovery rates were 100.5%, 96.1% and 102.5%, respectively in T4, TSH, and AFP. The linearity were y=1.02x-0.182(r=0.99) for T4, y=1.01x+0.12 (r=0.99) for TSH and y=1.01x+0.54(r=1.00) for AFP. T3, T4, TSH, CEA and PSA results showed good correlation with RIA (r>0.90), but AFP showed r=0.88. Also, AFP, CEA and PSA results showed excellent correlation with AxSYM (r>0.99). CONCLUSION: Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system showed excellent precision, recovery rate, clinically acceptable linearity and good correlation with the results obtained by RIA and MEIA methods.

Coagulants have been used for a long time to promote the hemostasis during operation. We have carried out the study to see the effect of the thromboplastin preparation. Thrombokinase, on the coagulation mechanism, thrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, Ca++, and operation time and amount of bleeding in the twenty patients undergoing laminectomy or femur fracture operation. The patients were divided into two groups, in the control group(n=10), disllied water 20ml, and in the Thrombokinase group(n=10), 20ml of Thrombokinase(4 amles) was administered intravenously during 5 minutes. The results were as follows: 1) Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time were significantly prolonged in the control group compared to the Thrombokinase group(p<0.05). 2) In the Thrombokinase group, the duration of operation was shorter and the amount of blood loss was less than in the control group, but there was no significant statistical difference(p>0.05).3) There was no change in either blood pressure or pulse rate and also no side reaction during or after the Thromobkinase injection.

We report a case of eccrine adenocarcinoma in 65-year-old man who showed tender, painful, dark-brown colored, and verrucous surfaced tumor on the left neck for 18 months. Hisopathologic examination revealed large atypical cell masses with a tubular cystic, or adenoid pattern in the demis and it was difficult to differentiate from metastatic adenocarcinoma. Materials in the lumina revealed PAS positive, diastase resistant, alcian blue positive at pH 2.5 but negative at pH 0,4 Electron microscopy revealed that tumor cells contained secretory vacuoloes and microvilli projected into intercellular space. Around the cells, myoepithelial cell was seen. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, tumor size was reduced transiently but 2 months later, tumor was more spread.
