PURPOSE: This study examined the changes in the respiratory function when PNF chopping and lifting patterns were used in chronic stroke patients METHOD: The subjects were 30 patients diagnosed with chronic stroke. The respiratory function (FVC, FEV₁, and FEV₁/FVC) were measured by spirometry. Thirty subjects were divided randomly into an experimental group to which 15 PNF chopping and lifting were applied and a control group to which chest breathing exercise was performed. The intervention was conducted three times a week for six 6 weeks. To examine the effects of intervention, the pre- and post-intervention values for each group were compared using a paired t-test. An independent t-test was used to compare the differences in the values of changes pre- and post-intervention in the two groups. Statistical significance was set to .05. RESULTS: Satistically significant differences in FVC and FEV₁ were observed in both the experimental group and control group according to the intervention (p < .05). A statistically significant difference was found in FVC and FEV₁ compared to values of changes pre- and post-intervnetion between the experimental and control groups. There was no difference in FEV₁/FVC. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that PNF chopping and lifting can be applied as an excellent respiratory intervention program compared to general chest breathing exercises to improve respiratory function in stroke patients.

Purpose : This study applies inspiratory muscle resistance exercise with aerobic exercise to smokers and nonsmokers and then determines whether subjects' breathing functions (FVC, FEV1) are increased and how much effect smoking has on the difference in the increase of breathing functions between the two groups. Methods : For this experiment, 26 male adults were selected and randomly allocated to the smoker group (n=13) and nonsmoker group (n=13). The smokers and nonsmokers performed the inspiratory muscle resistance exercise with aerobic exercise three times a week for four weeks. Regarding the breathing functions, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured three times: week 0, week 2, and week 4. The aerobic exercise was performed using a stationary bicycle with 8 difficulty levels. The inspiratory muscle resistance exercise was performed using Power Breathe with 10 resistance levels. Results : The study found that the FVC and FEV1 values of the smoker group decreased slightly after four weeks of inspiratory muscle resistance exercise with aerobic exercise. In other words, the difference was not statistically significant. In contrast, the FVC and FEV1 values of the nonsmoker group increased by a statistically significant amount. In addition, the intergroup comparison of the average increases in FVC and FEV1 values showed statistically significant differences. Conclusion : The results of this study show that when inspiratory muscle resistance exercise with aerobic exercise was performed, the increase in the breathing functions of nonsmokers was higher than that of smokers. This confirms that, within the parameters of the study, smoking had a negative effect on the increase of breathing functions. This suggests that quitting smoking must be considered as an essential factor when applying a breathing physiotherapy or a breathing function improvement program in clinical settings

Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease patients' speech is hypokinetic dysarthria and their speech is possibly the consequence of impaired respiratory support. The purpose of this study was focused on the respiratory characteristics of speech breathing in de novo IPD who were not given prior vocal or anti-Parkinson treatment. A total of 40 subjects participated in the study: 20 de novo IPD patients between the ages of 50 and 80, and 20 normal subjects with similar age, height, and weight matches. Forced Expiratory Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 sec (FEV1) and $FEV_1$ as a percentage of FVC (FEV1/FVC) was measured with a PC-based spirometer (Cosmed). In addition, Maximum Phonation Time (MPT), Mean Airflow Rate (MFR), Subglottal Pressure (Psub) and the number of syllables produced per breath were measured with a Phonatory Aerodynamic System (Kay PENTAX). All subjects were asked to read a standardized Korean paragraph and the following measurements were obtained from the task. Results indicated no statistically significant differences in respiratory function (FEV1/FVC%) and aerodynamic function between the two groups, but the number of syllables per breath was significantly lower in the IPD patient group than in the normal group and it could be predicted by FVC and MFR. Therefore, the study shows that the MFR from the lungs during speech in de novo IPD patients is used inefficiently.

To determine whether position affects measured lung capacity of spinal cord injury patients. The study subjects were 45 patients with spinal cord injury (cervical level 15, thoracic level 15, lumbar level 15). Subjects were provided with a full explanation of the experimental procedures and all provided written consent signifying their voluntary participation. We used a spirometer (Spirometer, Micromedical Ltd, UK) to measure pulmonary function in the supine and sitting positions (straightened upper body at an angle of $90^{\circ}$). Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume during the first second (FEV1), tidal volume (TV), and maximum insufflation capacity (MIC) were also measured. FVC, FEV1, TV, MIC (%) were greater in the supine than in the sitting position for those with injury at the cervical or thoracic injury level. On the other hand, FVC, FEV1, TV, MIC (%) were lower in the supine position for those with an injury at the lumbar level. More attention should be paid to the effect of injury level on measured lung capacity.

연구 배경: 폐기능검사를 해석하는데 정상하한치(lower limits of normal) 선정과 해석흐름도 합의가 필수적이다. COPD 국제지침은 $FEV_1$/FVC 정상하한치로 0.7을 사용하여 폐쇄성장애를 진단한다. 한편, 미국흉부학회(ATS)와 유럽호흡기학회(ERS) 공동으로 새 해석흐름도를 제시하였다. '$FEV_1$/FVC 정상하한치 0.7' 의 정확성과 새 해석흐름도가 실제 폐기능검사 해석에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아 보고자 하였다. 방 법: 서울 아산병원의 호흡기검사실에서 2005년 7월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 5개월간 폐활량측정법을 시행한 7362명을 대상으로 하여 '$FEV_1$/FVC 정상하한치 0.7' 의 정확성을 평가하였고 새로운 ATS/ERS 해석흐름도에 따르면 폐용적검사가 추가로 필요한 경우가 얼마나 증가하는지 평가하였다. 상기 기간 내에 같은 날 폐용적검사를 시행한 1611 명을 대상으로 과거 해석흐름도와 비교하여 새로운 ATS/ERS 해석흐름도를 적용하게 되면 폐쇄성장애로 진단되는 경우가 얼마나 증가하는지 알아보았다. 결 과: 1) '$FEV_1$/FVC < 0.7' 에 의한 폐쇄성장애 진단은 연령이 증가할수록 민감도는 증가하였으나 특이도는 감소하였고 양성예측도는 감소하였으나 음성예측도는 증가하였다. 2) 새 ATS/ERS 해석흐름도를 적용할 경우 34.5% (2540명/7362명)의 환자가 추가로 폐용적검사가 필요하였다. 3) 새 ATS/ERS 해석흐름도를 적용할 경우, 과거에 제한성질환으로 진단되었던 환자 중 30%(205명/681명)가 폐쇄성질환으로 진단되었고 이는 전체 환자의 13%(205명/1611명)에 해당하였다. 결 론: 폐쇄성질환 진단기준으로 '$FEV_1$/FVC < 0.7' 을 사용하였을 때 연령에 따라서 민감도와 특이도가 변한다. 또한, 새로운 ATS/ERS 해석흐름도를 실제 환자를 진료하는데 적용하면 폐용적검사를 시행해야 하는 경우가 증가하게 되고 폐쇄성장애로 진단되는 경우가 더 증가하게 된다.

Occupational exposure to inorganic dusts such as coal and silica has been identified as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk factor. This risk factor causes lung inflammation and protease-antiprotease imbalance. This abnormal inflammatory response of the lung induces parenchymal tissue destruction and leads to progressive airflow limitation that is characteristics of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of proteases such as neutrophil elastase (NE) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and antiproteases such as alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 with lung function. The study population contained 223 retired workers exposed to inorganic dusts. We performed lung function test, including percent of forced expiratory volume in one second ($%FEV_1$) predicted and $%FEV_1$/forced vital capacity (FVC). We analyzed serum MMP-9, AAT, TIMP-1 and plasma NE concentrations by sandwich enzyme immunoassay. NE, AAT, and TIMP-1 concentrations in workers, who had $%FEV_1$<80% predicted, were higher than those of workers who had $%FEV_1{\geq}80%$ (P<0.05). Both AAT and TIMP-1 concentrations in workers with airflow limitation were higher than those of workers with normal airflow (P<0.05). $%FEV_1$ predicted showed significant negative correlation with AAT (r=-0.255, P<0.0l), TIMP-1 (r=-0.232, P<0.01), and NE (r=-0.196, P<0.01). $%FEV_1$/FVC predicted showed significant negative correlation with NE (r=-0.172, P<0.05). From the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis about $%FEV_1$ and $%FEV_1$/FVC, significant independents were NE (r=-0.135, P=0.001) and AAT (r=-0.100, P=0.013) in $%FEV_1$, and NE (r=-0.160, P=0.014) in $%FEV_1$/FVC. In the present study, there were significant correlations between airflow limitation and protease concentration and between airflow limitation and antiprotease concentration. Serum protease and antiprotease concentrations, however, may be affected by the biological and inflammatory responses. It is necessary to evaluate specimens more reflected the effects of proteases and antiproteases in the lung such as lung tissue, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and exhaled breath condensate (EBC).

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the vital capacity and maximal voluntary ventilationin subjects with forward head posture (FHP). METHODS: Twenty-eight subjects participated in this study (normal 14, FHP 14) and were resident in B city. The mean age, height and weight of subjects was 22.80yrs, 169.36cm and 62.79kg. Subjects were asked to breath maximally for FVC and repeatedly for MVV during 12 seconds. The variables of data were collected as follows: Forced Vital Capacity(FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second($FEV_1$), $FEV_1$/FVC, Maximal Voluntary Ventilation(MVV). Each trial was performed by 3 times and we used the means to analyze the data. The mann-whitney U test and independent t-test were used to compare the vital capacity between normal and FHP subjects. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 21.0 for window versionand p-values less than 0.05 were used to identify significant differences. RESULTS: The FVC, $FEV_1$, $FEV_1$/FVC and MVV of FHP subjects were decreased more than that of normal subjects and the difference was statistically significant between two groups. CONCLUSION: The vital capacity of subjects with FHP was generally lower than normal subjects. This study shows that the vital capacityof subjectswith FHP could be decreased due to the bad neck posture that weakens the respiratory accessory muscles of neck.

연구배경: 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 기관지확장제 사용후 임상 증상의 호전을 보이는 경우에도 폐기능 검사상 $FEV_1$의 증가가 뚜렷하지 않은 경우가 종종 관찰된다. 이러한 현상은 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 $FEV_1$이 환기기능의 변화를 예민하게 반응하지 못하기 때문으로 알려져 있다. 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 기저 병태생리는 호기시 기도폐쇄이지만 결과적으로 흡기시 호흡시스템의 부하가 증가하는 것이다. 그러므로 기관지확장제로 인한 환기역학의 개선으로 임상 증상이 호전되는데 이는 흡기시 부하가 감소된 결과일 가능성이 있다. 이에 저자들은 기관지확장제에 대한 흡기시 환기역학의 반응을 보기 위한 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 대상은 17명의 만성폐쇄성폐질환환자이며 이중 3명은 여자였고 14명은 남자였다. 나이는 45세에서 80세 사이였으며($65.5{\pm}9.4$세) 검사전 최근 2주사이에 급성악화의 병력이 없는 안정상태에 있었다. 먼저 안정상태에서 호기와 흡기의 노력성유량-기량곡선(Forced F1ow-volume Curve)을 측정한 후 salbutamol($Ventolin^{(R)}$) 용액 10mg을 jet nebulizer($Devilbiss^{(R)}$ model 646)를 이용하여 4분간 흡입후 15분 뒤 다시 각각 호기와 흡기의 노력성유량-기량곡선을 측정하였다. 결과: 17명 환자의 기관지확장제 홉입전 $FEV_1$은 $0.92{\pm}0.34L$($38.3{\pm}14.9%$), FVC는 $2.25{\pm}0.81L$($71.1{\pm}21.0%$), $FEV_1$/FVC%는 $43.1{\pm}14.5%$였다. 기관지확장제 흡입후 $FEV_1$, FVC, Peak Inspiratory Flow(PIF)의 증가는 각각 $0.15{\pm}0.13L$, $0.58{\pm}0.38L$, $1.0{\pm}0.56L/sec$ 였으며, 초기값에 대한 변화율은 각각 $17.0{\pm}14.3%$, $29.0{\pm}22.5%$, $37.5{\pm}16.7%$ 였다. PIF의 증가는 $FEV_1$ 증가의 2배이상 되었으며(p<0.001), 기관지 확장제 흡입후 $FEV_1$의 증가가 거의 없었던 3례에서도 PIF의 증가는 각각 35.0%, 44.0%, 55.2% 였다. 결론: 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 기관지확장제에 의한 환기역학의 호전은 호기의 지표보다 흡기의 지표가 더 예민하게 반영하는 것으로 보인다.
