南極ドームふじ基地における第2期氷床深層コア掘削

南極ドームふじ基地において，第2 期氷床深層コア掘削が行われた．2001 年のパイロット孔掘削に引き続き2003/2004 シーズンから4 か年にわたり本格的な深層コア掘削を実施し，2007 年1 月に3035.22 m 深に達した．夏期間のみの掘削としたので，効率よく掘削できるように第1 期深層コア掘削システムの問題点を解決しながら多くの改良を施した．特に1 回の掘削で採取可能なコア長を2.3 m から3.84 m にしたことと切削チップ収納効率を高めたことが大きい．本報告では，現地で使用した掘削システムの概要とともに，掘削の方法，掘削の経過を述べるとともに，掘削中に生じた様々なトラブルについても報告し，併せて今後の課題を示した． The second deep ice coring project was carried out at Dome Fuji, Antarctica. Following the pilot hole drilling in 2001, deep ice core drilling was conducted for four years from the 2003/2004 austral summer season, reaching a depth of 3035.22 m in January 2007. The drilling was performed only in the summer season. Therefore, many improvements were made to the problems of the first deep ice core drilling system to enable efficient drilling. In particular, the core length that can be obtained at one time was increased from 2.3m to 3.84 m, and the chip storage efficiency was enhanced. In this report, the outline of the drilling system, the method of drilling, the progress of drilling operation, and various troubles were reported. Also, future issues are indicated

戶政事務所服務品質與顧客滿意度之研究

[[abstract]]鑒於國內學者未有戶政事務所滿意度相關之研究，故本研究擬以大里市、太平市、豐原市等戶政事務所的洽公民眾為研究對象，探討民眾對戶政所服務品質與滿意度之關係。本研究於93年3~5月間共發出問卷1050份，有效問卷859份。問卷資料藉由SPSS10.0版統計軟體予以分析與檢定。 經本研究實證發現：無論性別、婚姻、年齡及職業類別上，其顧客滿意度屬「尚可」，至於在教育程度方面則以國小滿意度最低；另三戶政事務所以豐原市民眾滿意度最高。在硬體、軟體和整體服務品質方面，三者之間呈現顯著正相關。如果能提昇軟體、硬體服務，將使民眾的滿意度大幅提昇。藉由本研究之探討，期能做為各戶政事務所未來提昇服務品質的參考，俾使戶政事務所所提供之服務品質更能滿足民眾之需求

Retrospective Analysis of Predicting Biochemical Recurrence after Initial Radical Prostatectomy

We evaluated clinical outcomes of radical prostatectomy in 244 patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy as initial treatment from January 2000 to December 2011, and were followed up for more than 6 months. Biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy was defined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of at least 0. 2 ng/ml. We evaluated potential risk factors for significant associations with biochemical recurrence. Median follow-up period after prostatectomy was 49 months (range, 6-144). Of the total, 192, 31, and 20 patients were at pathological stage pT2, pT3a, and pT3b, respectively. In 83 patients with the positive surgical margin, apexes were mostly in the positive area. Of the 68 patients with PSA recurrence, PSA non-relapse rate was 66.6% for 5 years. Multivariate analysis was performed for seminal vesicle invasion, PSA nadir, surgical margins, and Gleason score. Thirty-two patients with PSA recurrence underwent salvage radiotherapy, and the biochemical recurrence rate at 5 years was 73.8%. The group in which the PSA level before salvage radiotherapy was ＜0.5 ng/ml had a low rate of biochemical recurrence. We must consider the recurrence of poorly differentiated or non-confined cancer after radical prostatectomy. These results suggest that early use of salvage radiotherapy is effective for patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy

Factor Analysis of the Japanese Version of the Aging Males' Symptoms Rating Scale

We aimed to validate the Japanese version of the Aging Males' Symptoms rating scale (JPN-AMS) by using factor analysis. The study included 155 normal men 40 years old and older, and 116 patients who visited our clinic with complaints of aging males' symptoms. Participants self-administered the JPN-AMS. Factor analysis was done to confirm the internal structure of the questionnaire. We found three items that were not among the factors in the original Aging Males' Symptoms rating scale in normal men and seven items that were not the factors in the original scale in the patients who had a serum free testosterone level below 8.5 pg/ml. In particular, 5 of the 7 somatic items seemed not to be associated with the somatic factor. In conclusion, the factor analysis provided a confirmation of the internal structure of the JPN-AMS. We have to be aware of the different internal structure of the JPN-AMS for the Japanese patients with late-onset hypogonadism. Therefore, we should take care to use the JPN-AMS, as there are cultural differences among countries

Epidemiologic and therapeutic study on gonococcal infections--clinical efficacy of cefetamet pivoxil

We studied the epidemiology of 109 cases of gonococcal infections (105 males with urethritis and 4 females with cervicitis), together with the basic and clinical effects of cefetamet pivoxil in the cases. The peak of age distribution of the male patients was in the younger half of their twenties, and all of the 4 female cases were between 20 and 39 years old. The major source of infections in the males younger than 25 years old was their girl friends or so-called pick-up friends, and that of the males older than 25 years old workers serving at an amusement center, for example, bars and so-called special massage parlor, which accounted for about three fourths of the male cases between 35 and 44 years old. The distribution of the MIC (inoculum size; 10(6) CFU/ml) of Cefetamet against beta-lactamase non penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (non-PPNG) ranged from 0.025 to 0.1 microgram/ml and that against beta-lactamase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae ranged from 0.025 to 0.05 microgram/ml. The isolation rate of PPNG was 10.2% (9/88). In male patients with gonococcal urethritis, the efficacy rate was 100% on days 3 and 7 for 1, 000 mg single dose and 7-day treatment and 500 mg single dose treatment. One of the cases treated with 250 mg single dose therapy was unchanged at 3, but the efficacy rate of the remaining cases was 100% at day 7. Complicated urethritis with C. trachomatis was noticed in 25.7% (5/105) of the male urethritis and in 25.0% (1/4) of the female cervicitis cases. The only side effect was diarrhea observed in 1 of the 124 case (0.8%)
