본 연구는 당뇨환자와 일반인을 대상으로 $VO_2peak$가 복부둘레, 혈중지질 및 혈압에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아본 결과 당뇨환자인 경우 $VO_2peak$와 복부둘레에서 부적상관을 나타냈으며 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 고밀도 지단백 콜레스테롤은 정적상관을 보였으며 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 일반인의 $VO_2peak$와 이완기혈압에서는 정적상관을 보였으며 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 당뇨환자의 복부둘레에서 $VO_2peak$에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 일반인의 이완기 혈압에서 $VO_2peak$에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 집단 간 복부둘레, $VO_2peak$, 고밀도 지단백 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 혈압에서 집단 간 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 유산소능력($VO_2peak$) 지표들을 모니터링 함으로써 당뇨 환자들은 심혈관 질환의 위험요인을 관리할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 유산소능력을 향상시키는 운동을 실시하는 것 역시 심혈관 질환의 위험도를 낮추기 위한 좋은 방안이라고 사료된다.

This study aimed to compare the Korean Activity Status Index (KASI) with the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) among patients with acute myocardial infarction. A total of 2,268 patients (85.4% male; mean age, 59.3±10.2 years; range, 23-90 years) diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in the Regional Center Myocardial Infarction Registry between July 2016 and June 2019. The KASI is a tool used to measure functional capacity by asking patients about their ability to perform specific activities and then scoring their responses. In contrast, CPET is the gold standard for assessing the objective functional capacity in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Peak oxygen uptake (VO_2peak) was used to analyze the correlation. Patients who completed two consecutive KASI and CPET evaluations during their first (KASI_1, VO_2peak_1) and second visits (KASI_2, VO_2peak_2) for cardiac rehabilitation were included in the study. The mean KASI_1 and KASI_2 scores were 43.3±14.3 and 49.8±13.9, respectively, and the mean VO_2peak_1 and VO_2peak_2 scores were 25.9±8.0 and 28.5±8.3, respectively. Both the KASI scores were significantly correlated with the measured VO_2peak during each visit, with correlation coefficients of 0.385 (P<0.001) and 0.346 (P<0.001), respectively. Moreover, the KASI score and VO_2peak had a linear relationship (VO_2peak_1=0.22×KASI_1+16.5, P<0.001; VO_2peak_2=0.21×KASI_2+18.2,VO_2peak_2=0.21×KASI_2+18.2, P<0.001). This study revealed that the KASI is a valid measure for the follow-up evaluation of the functional capacity of patients. These findings suggest that VO_2peak can be predicted using the KASI score in patients who do not undergo CPET.

Purpose: This study examined the influence of the maximal aerobic capacity on the two-year cardiac-related re-hospitalization in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Korean society. Methods: The maximal aerobic capacity of the study population (n=95, male 63%) was evaluated using a cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) testing system. Each patient was followed up for two years to divide the HFrEF patients into two groups according to cardiac-related re-hospitalization: re-hospitalization (RH) group (n=29, 30%) and no re-hospitalization (NRH) group (n=66, 70%). Results: The relative peak $VO_2$ (mL/kg/min, p<0.001), exercise duration (p<0.001), respiratory exchange ratio ($VCO_2/VO_2$, p=0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) reserve (p=0.004), heart rate (HR) reserve (p=0.007), SBP max (p=0.02), and HR max (p=0.039) were significantly lower in the RH group than the NRH group during the CPX test. On the other hand, the ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope, p=0.02) and age (p=0.022) were significantly higher in the RH group than in the NRH group. In binary logistic regression analysis, the relative peak $VO_2$ (p=0.001, Wald Chi-square 10.137) was the strongest predictive factor on cardiac-related re-hospitalization, which was followed by $VCO_2/VO_2$ (p=0.019, Wald Chi-square 5.54). On the other hand, age (p=0.063, Wald Chi-square 3.445) did not have a significant influence on cardiac related re-hospitalization. Conclusion: The maximal aerobic capacity, especially the relative peak $VO_2$, is the strongest factor on cardiac-related re-hospitalization within two years in patients with HFrEF in Korean society.

Vanadium dioxide (VO₂) is a well-known material that undergoes insulator-to-metal phase transition near room temperature. Since the conductivity of VO₂ changes several orders of magnitude in the terahertz (THz) spectral range during the phase transition, VO₂-based active metamaterials have been extensively studied. Experimentally, it is reported that the metal nanostructures on the VO₂ thin film lowers the critical temperature significantly compared to the bare film. Here, we theoretically studied such early transition phenomena by developing an analytical model. Unlike experimental work that only measures transmission, we calculate the reflection and absorption and demonstrate that the role of absorption is quite different for bare and patterned samples; the absorption gradually increases for bare film during the phase transition, while an absorption peak is observed at the critical temperature for the metamaterials. In addition, we also discuss the gap width and VO₂ thickness effects on the transition temperatures.

연구배경: COPD 환자에서 최대산소섭취량의 측정은 호흡재활치료에서 운동 강도의 결정과 치료 반응을 평가 하는데 사용된다. 하지만 운동부하 심폐기능 검사는 공간및 비용 등의 문제로 우리나라에서는 보편화되어 있지 않다. 한편 6분 보행검사는 간단하게 운동능력을 평가할 수 있는 방법으로 신뢰도가 높고 운동능력의 변화를 비교적잘 반영한다. 본 연구에서는 중등도 이상의 COPD 환자에서 $6M_{work}$을 이용해 최대산소섭취량을 예측하는 공식을 구하고자 하였다. 방 법: 중등도 이상의 COPD 남성 33명을 대상으로 전향적 다기관 연구를 진행하였다. 최초 방문시 폐기능검사, 운동부하 심폐기능 검사와 6분 보행검사를 실시하였고, 보행거리와 체중을 곱하여 $6M_{work}$을 구한 다음 최대산소섭취량과 상관관계가 높은 변수들을 찾아 다중회귀분석법을 이용하여 추정 예측식을 구하였다. 결 과: 환자의 평균 연령은 67.7세, 신체질량지수는 $22.5kg/m^2$였다. $FEV_1$의 평균값은 1.33 L (정상 예측치의 51.1%)이었고, 최대산소섭취량도 1,015.9 ml/min (정상 예측치의 50.8%)로 낮게 측정되었다. 평균 6분 보행거리는 516 m, $6M_{work}$는 32,811이었으며, $6M_{work}$가 6분 보행거리보다 최대산소섭취량과 더 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 $FEV_1$, 폐확산능, FVC가 최대산소섭취량과 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 다중회귀분석으로 얻어진 예측식은 [최대산소섭취량(ml/min)=($274.306{\times}FEV_1$)+($36.242{\times}DLco$)+($0.007{\times}6M_{work}$)-84.867]이었다. 결 론: 최대산소섭취량 검사가 불가능한 상황에서의 대안으로 시행이 간편한 6분 보행검사를 보조적으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 본 연구에서 얻어진 추정공식의 타당성에 대한 대규모 연구가 필요하다.

Objectives: Acupuncture treatments are safe and effective for a wide variety of diseases involving autonomic dysregulation. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive method for assessing sympathovagal balance. The low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) spectral power ratio is an index of sympathovagal influence on heart rate and of cardiovascular health. This study tests the hypothesis that from rest to 30% to 50% of peak oxygen consumption, the nonlinear Conte-Zbilut-Federici (CZF) method of computing the LF/HF ratio is a more reliable index of changes in the HRV than linear methods are. Methods: The subjects of this study were 10 healthy young adults. Electrocardiogram RR intervals were measured during 6-minute periods of rest and aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer at 30% and 50% of peak oxygen consumption ($VO_{2peak}$). Results: The frequency domain CZF computations of the LF/HF ratio and the time domain computations of the standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN) decreased sequentially from rest to 30% $VO_{2peak}$ (P < 0.001) to 50% $VO_{2peak}$ (P < 0.05). The SDNN and the CZF computations of the LF/HF ratio were positively correlated (Pearson's r = 0.75, P < 0.001). fast Fourier transform (FFT), autoregressive (AR) and Lomb periodogram computations of the LF/HF ratio increased only from rest to 50% $VO_{2peak}$. Conclusion: Computations of the LF/HF ratio by using the nonlinear CZF method appear to be more sensitive to changes in physical activity than computations of the LF/HF ratio by using linear methods. Future studies should determine whether the CZF computation of the LF/HF ratio improves evaluations of pharmacopuncture and other treatment modalities.

Background: The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is the most important index for accurately measuring cardiopulmonary function in patients with acute ischemic heart disease. However, the relationship between the OUES variables and important cardiopulmonary function parameters remain unelucidated for patients with acute ischemic heart disease, which accounts for the largest proportion of heart disease. Objects: The present cross sectional clinical study aimed to determine the multiple relationships among the cardiopulmonary function variables mentioned above in adults with acute ischemic heart disease. Methods: A convenience sample of 110 adult inpatients with ischemic heart disease (age: 57.4 ± 11.3 y; 95 males, 15 females) was enrolled at the hospital cardiac rehabilitation center. The correlation between the important cardiopulmonary function indicators including peak oxygen uptake (VO₂ peak), minute ventilation (VE)/carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) slope, heart rate recovery (HRR), and ejection fraction (EF) and OUES was confirmed. Results: This study showed that OUES was highly correlated with VO₂ peak, VE/VCO₂ slope, and HRR parameters. Conclusion: The OUES can be used as an accurate indicator for cardiopulmonary function. There are other factors that influence aerobic capacity besides EF, so there is no correlation with EF. Effective cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs can be designed based on OUES during submaximal exercise in patients with acute ischemic heart disease.

순수한 BiVO₄ 및 Sm 이온이 도핑된 BiVO₄ 촉매들을 수열합성법으로 제조하였고, 그들의 물리적 성질을 XRD, DRS, SEM 및 PL 등을 사용하여 특성분석을 하였다. 또한, 가시광 조사 하에서 로다민 B의 분해반응에서 광촉매로서의 활성을 조사하였다. Sm 이온의 첨가는 낮은 온도에서도 촉매의 결정구조를 ms-BiVO₄ 구조에서 tz-BiVO₄로 변화시켰다. 흡광도 분석결과로 부터 모든 촉매들은 Sm 이온의 도핑과 관련없이 가시광 영역에서 흡수스펙트럼을 보여주고 있다. 또한 순수한 BiVO₄ 촉매는 무정형의 형상을 보여주고 있으나 Sm 이온이 첨가되면 그 입자들의 형상이 타원형으로 변화하였으며 입자의 크기가 줄어 들었다. 로다민 B의 광분해 반응에서 순수한 BiVO₄ 촉매에 비해 Sm 이온이 첨가된 촉매들의 광분해 활성이 증가하였다. 또한, 3%로 도핑된 Sm3-BVO 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보일 뿐만 아니라 가장 높은 수산기 라디칼의 생성속도와 가장 큰 PL피크 세기를 나타내었다. 이 결과는 촉매와 물의 계면에서 얻어지는 수산기 라디칼(•OH)의 생성속도는 광촉매 활성과 밀접한 연관성이 있다는 것을 의미한다.

This study was conducted to investigate dietary macronutrient and $VO_{2}$ by BMI The subjects consisted of 50 female college students. They were divided into three groups: Below BMI 18.5 kg/$m^{2}$ (n = 9), BMI 18.5 - 23 kg/$m^{2}$ (n = 28), above BMI 23 g/$m^{2}$ (n = 13). Health-related questionnaires, dietary macronutrients, macronutrient compositions, food frequency questionnaires, body compositions and $VO_{2}$ were studied. Macronutrient compositions that macronutrient intakes were expressed by the percentage of daily energy intakes. There were significant differences in body fat, percent of body fat, and fat distribution by BMI Also, significantly increasing of basal metabolic rate (BMR) was shown by BMI, but BMR per body weight was decreased by BMI Overall, there were no significant differences in health-related questionnaires, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), dietary macronutrients and $VO_{2}$ by BMI but salty taste preferences and carbohydrate intakes, FFQ of beans, white vegetables rand, yellow-green vegetables in the above BMI 23 g/$m^{2}$ group were significantly higher than other groups. There were no significant differences in macronutrient composition but the lipid composition of subjects was shown above $20\%$. Also, energy intakes of subjects were shown to be low; especially the below BMI 18.5 kg/$m^{2}$ group was very low ($55\%$ of RDA). Significantly positive correlation was found in BMR and body composition such as skeletal muscle & lean body mass, but significant correlation was not found in BMR and dietary macronutrients. Overall, researched energy metabolism factor was not different by BMI Only in the BMI 18.5 23 kg/$m^{2}$ (normal) group, significantly positive correlation was found in $VO_{2}$peak and body fat oxidation. Therefore, proper nutritional education for female college students is needed in order to improve their obesity-related health. Moreover, a nutritional survey method of finding diverse factors that affect their health should be developed to meet various needs.
