The computerized image analysis is a useful tool for the quantitative assessment of histopathologic findings. In contrast to the usual microscopic examination by pathologists, the computerization should be accompanied with the standardization process of the image. We developed an algorithm to standardize images and to determine the optimal gray level threshold, using a myocardial fibrosis model. Sirius red staining was more convenient for the image analysis than Masson's trichrome staining because of a better contrast with the surrounding structures. To get an optimal measurement, light intensity was standardized at each of the fibrosis, myocardium and background. In this study, the most promising method to determine the degree of fibrosis was that of revising the background without tissue to a gray level of 200, obtaining a green component of the color image, revising the myocardial fiber to 163, and defining a partial ratio as fibrosis index when the gray level threshold was 120. These threshold levels and parameters were determined after drawing the binarization index curves according to the change of the gray level threshold and by the morphological examination of the actual binarization figures overlaid to the original color image. Through these processes we could get a consistent result on the myocardial fibrosis and we expect a similar principle applies when we analyze color images in the histopathologic quantitation by computerized image analysis.

Infection with V. vulnificus resulting in septicemia accompanied with skin gangrene and high mortality of 50% or more freqently occurs in people with liver disenses. And it has also been demonstrated that serum iron, essential to the growth of microorganisms, has been elevated in liver damaged animals. In spite of many efforts to reveal the pathogenesis of this fatal disease, there is no clear conclusion so far. Significant increase or decrease in LD of V. vulnificus (CDC C7184) was observed when mice were treated with ferric arnmonium citrate (FAC) and a specific iron chelator, desferal(Df), originated from Streptomyces pilosus and a broad spectrurn cation chelator, calciurn disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CaEDTA) widly used in heavy metal poisoning treated alone or in combination. The results were obtained as follows. FAC and Df lowered LD to approximately 1.96x 10(3) colony forming unit (CFU) and 9.77x10(2) CFU respectively from 4.46 x 10(5) CFU, LDso of the control group. However, CaEDTA elevated the I D to 4.97 X 10(7) CFU. The LD of the group administered FAC and Df simultaneously was about 9.28x10(1) CFU. Whereas, the LD of the group administered FAC and CaEDTA simultaneously was approximately 7.88 x 10(5), similar to that of the control group. This study demonstrates that there is a close association of the iron with V. vulnificus septicemia and Df lowers LD of the rnice. CaED7A, however, elevated the LD. The author hereby proposes carefully iron chelators such as CaEDTA as an agent for a new adjuvant therapy of the V. vulnificus septicernia.

BACKGROUND: Many women have experienced artificial abortion, but artificial abortion itself may take a life away from a fetus and also influence serious effect on operated womens health condition. So this study was attempted to offer basic information for improving maternity health condition by knowing womens artificial abortion performance status and recognition about its complication. METHODS: The 215 married women who visited in OPD of certain hospital in Pusan from november 1994 to January 1995, answered the question about experience of artifial abortion the recognition about its complication, and artificial abortioned group answered the reason of artificial abortion and the experience of complication. RESULTS: The number of women who experienced artificial abortion was 107 persons(49.8%). More educated women have experienced less artificial abortion. The causes of artificial abortion were birth control as of 40.6%, continuation of occupation or study as of 20.6%, for preserving health condition as of 14.2%, impossible marriage as of 14.2%. 115 persons out of 215 persons (53.4% ) answered they heard about, its complicatons. In relation to health, 66 persons(30.7% ) answered that the abortion had no relation with health condition or they answered they have no idea about the issue, 68 persons(31.6%) answered that the abortion had relation with but its complication would be soon recovered. Higher understanding was obtained in higher educated group(P<0.05). If unwanted pregnancy occur to them in the future, 32 persons(27.8%) in recognized group and 38 persons(38%) in unrecognized group answered they would perform artificial abortion. So understanding about complicaton of artificial abortion has little effect on their artificial abortion rate. CONCLUSIONS: Recognition of complications of married women is low, and recognition degree doesnt affect artificial abortion. So, not only education about complications of artificial abortion and contraception but also social performance of sharing womens responsibility for birth control or bringing up infants is necessary.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2006;36(2):265-277
PURPOSE: The study attempted to find family perception differences between abused children and normal children by Kinetic Family Drawing. METHOD: The subjects of the study consisted of two groups, 143 abused who were in the upper 25th percentile, and 150 normal who were in the lower 25th percentile. Collected Kinetic Family Drawings were divided into five dimensions such as actions, human figure characteristics, dynamics, styles and symbols, and they was analyzed with SPSS/WIN 10.0. RESULTS: In the perception about their family in action dimension, their family in figure characteristics dimension, their family in dynamics dimensions, and their family in symbols dimension, there is a sharp contrast between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Putting these results together, abused children feel lower self-esteem and feel more sense of alienation in their family than normal children do. In addition, abused children perceive their parents as negative and aggressive people.
