The study was done to identify factors influencing the health risk behavior of the chronic mental illness in the community. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The sample was 255 chronic mentally ill persons from D city and C province and who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected on August-september, 2011 and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 20. Stress event, insight and depression had significant correlations with health risk behavior. Hierarchial regression analysis showed gender (men), diagnosis (schizophrenia), stress event, insight and depression together explained 24% of variance in health risk behavior. Findings of this study allow a comprehensive understanding of health risk behavior of the chronic mentally ill persons in community. It is necessary to integrated health promotion programs designed for this population should focus on these factors for effective behavioral modification.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between depression, drinking and social relationship satisfaction. The study also examines the moderating effect of social relationship satisfaction between depression and drinking. For these purposes, 217 single seniors with chronic diseases, excluding missing values, were finally analyzed from the 13th Korea Welfare Panel Study(KWPS). Correlation analysis, moderating analysis performed using SPSS(21.0 version). The findings of the study were as follows. First, it was identified that family relationship satisfaction among social relationship satisfaction significantly moderating the relationship between depression and drinking. Second, it was no identified that satisfaction with satisfaction with social acquaintance among social relationship satisfaction significantly moderating the relationship between depression and drinking. Based on the study results, this research suggested the practice and policy implications to increase family relationship satisfaction, especially to the single seniors with chronic diseases as well as to decrease their drinking.

The purpose of this study is to identify the harmful factors of teacher's job stress and occupational-related musculoskeletal diseases, and to investigate according to job types to seek solutions and improvement measures for removing harmful factors. A total of 168 elementary and high school teachers in Seoul were surveyed. As a result, the average RULA score of the teacher was 4.2 points, and the average RULA score of the teacher who did not complain of musculoskeletal diseases was 4.3 points. In addition, the average job stress score of the teacher was 58.9 points, and the stress score by factor was in the order of student guidance, work burden, loss of authority, organizational structure and curriculum, treatment and welfare, human relations. As a result of analyzing the teacher's RULA score and job stress, it was possible to derive a correlation between musculoskeletal disorders and job stress caused by occupation.

수공구 사용시 과도한 힘은 작업성 근골격계 질환을 일으킬 수 있는 주요 원인중 하나이다. 이와 관련하여, 수공구 파지시 인체 내부에 부과되는 근력과 외적으로 작용된 힘 간의 비율을 이해하는 것이 중요하며, 이는 근육에 부과되는 과도한 힘을 최소화 시키고, 작업에 필요한 힘의 효율성을 극대화 시키는데 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 비율과 관련하여 많은 연구가 되어 왔으나, 대부분 수리적 인체역학적 모델과 같은 간접적 추정 방법에 의거하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 인체역학적 모델을 검증하고 개선하기 위하여 해부용 팔 (cadaver)을 활용한 직접적인 근력과 악력 측정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 해부용 팔을 이용하여 상지 굴근(hand flexor)을 자동으로 제어하고 근력과 함께 악력을 측정할 수 있는 Hand Motion Simulator를 개발하고, 이를 통하여 다양한 사이즈의 손잡이 파지시 요구되는 근력과 외적으로 적용된 악력을 비교함으로써 수공구 손잡이 사이즈에 따른 근력의 효율성에 대하여 측정을 해 보았다. 또한, 적용된 굴근 (FDP & FDS) 간의 힘 비율에 따른 파지법의 차이를 조사해 보았다. 내부에 주어진 근력은 외부로 작용된 악력보다 5.3배 높은 부하가 작용하였으며 이러한 수공구 손잡이 파지시 힘의 효율성 역시 FDP 와 FDS 간의 비율이 3:2 였을 때, 그리고 손잡이 크기가 작을수록 높은 결과를 보였다. 반대로 손잡이의 크기가 커질수록 힘의 효율성은 저하되었다. 또한, 손가락 관절 각도의 경우 FDP와 FDS간의 비율에 따라 상이한 자세를 나타내었다. FDP 굴근의 비율이 높을 경우 손가락 끝마디 관절 (DIP) 의 굴곡을 보였으며, FDS 굴근 비율이 높을 경우 손가락 두 번째 관절(PIP)의 굴곡을 보였다. 본 연구를 통한 결과는 추후 상지작업자에 대한 근골격계 질환 예방 기준안 마련 및 수공구 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

Citrin deficiency (OMIN #605814) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the SLC25A13 gene mutation with abnormal biochemical findings, including increased serum ammonia, citrulline, arginine, galactose, serum threonine-to-serine ratio, serum pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, and alpha-fetoprotein. Citrin deficiency can manifest in three ways: in newborns as neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD), in older children as failure to thrive and dyslipidemia caused by citrin deficiency (FTTDCD), and in adults as citrullinemia type 2 (CTLN2) with recurrent hyperammonemia and neuropsychiatric symptoms. We report a 35-day-old asymptomatic patient with citrin deficiency who had abnormal biochemical findings.

The present study applied Bayley Scales of Infant Development to Infants with High Risk to investigate the effects of determinants such as variables related to demographic variable, prenatal and perinatal and postpartal environments, and developmental indices in infancy. First, mental and motor development index were high in infants whose mothers had high in education, mothers had not had a disease during the pregnancy, mothers had not taken medicine during the pregnancy. Second, mental and motor development index were high in infants who had used an oxygen inhaler, incubator, and in infants who had been given a timely birth. Third, mental and motor development index were higher in infants whose mumbling and the initial speaking was normal than in infants whose development was late.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a rare autosomal dorminant disease that features abnormal and fragile vascular dilations of terminal vessels in skin and mucous membranes, as well as arteriovenous malformations of internal organs, particularly lungs, brain, and liver. Often patients have not been diagnosed with HHT for a long time, and undiagnosed HHT patients unnecessarily develop serious complications such as severe life-threatening hemorrhage, stroke or brain abscess. Therefore, early detection and appropriate screening is very important. Early detection of HHT allows the appropriate screening for the presence of silent disease such as AVMs in the lungs, liver, or brain, and preventive treatment in the patient and their affected family members. Dentists should be familiar with HHT because the telangiectases on skin and oral mucosa are often the most dramatic and most easily identified component of HHT. Recently, we experienced a case of HHT. We present the case with a review of the literature.

Genetic association study has been progressed in medicine along with advance in genetic technology. It focused on the individual differences in genotype due to errors occurring during DNA duplication, which can cause vulnerability to specific diseases. Polymorphism defines the varieties in phenotype due to those genetic variations. Polymorphism due to change in one DNA base sequence is called as a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. In the near future, the evaluation of relative risk to specific disease according to SNP will be essential part of fundamental of medicine for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Dental caries and periodontal diseases has been first subject to genetic association study in dentistry and broaden out to other areas like bone formation and resorption. This article presents the current state of genetic association study and its application to dentistry.

일반적으로 개심술에는 많은 양의 실현이 따르게 마련이고 그 결과로 많은 수혈을 하게 되는데, 응혈 이상증, 과민반응, 급성호흡곤란증 등의 수혈부작용과 간염 및 후천성면역결핍증 등의 질병 감염의 위험성, 그리고 종교적인 이유 등으로 최근들어 동종수혈을 줄이고자 하는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 개심술시 동종수혈에 따른 부작용을 피하기 위해, 동종수혈 없이 자가수혈만으로도 성인개심술이 가능한지 연구하였다. 서울대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학 교실에서는 1996년 1월부터 12월까지 1년 간 자가수혈만으로 개심술을 시행한 실험군 126명과 동종수혈을 시행한 대조군 45명을 대상으로 양군을 비교하였다. 양군 간에 환자의 성별, 대동맥 질환을 제외한 기타 질환, 대동맥수술과정을 제외한 단순 및 복잡수술과정, 평균 대동맥 겸자시간, 수술전 및 수술후 1일째와 7일째 혈색소수치 및 적혈구용적, 수술 전후의 protein 수치와 수술후 albumin 수치, 자가수혈량과 혈장증량제 사용량 등에서는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 연령, 대동맥질환 및 대동맥수술과정, 평균체외순환시간, 수술 후 회수된 피의 양, 수술직후의 혈색소수치와 적혈구용적, 수술 전 albumin 수치, 그리고 3일간 흉관으로 배액된 양에 있어 차이가 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 동종수혈 없이 자가수혈만으로도 큰 차이없이 여러 종류의 성인 개심술을 성공적으로 할 수 있음을 보고한다.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by elevated blood lipids and the death rate from CHD is continuously increasing in recent years. In Korea, death rate from CHD is more than 30%. Recently, it has been reported that Job's tear decreaseds blood cholesterol level. However, most of the reports used Job's tear itself. Therefore, we have examined the effect of extruded Job's-tear cereal on blood and liver lipid levels in rats fed with a high fat diet for 5 weeks. The energy intake and body weight gain were higher in Job's tear cereal group (JFD) than in high fat fed group(HFD). Blood triglyceride concentration was significantly reduced in JFD group (p<0.05). And Atherogenic Index was decreased about 20% in JFD suggesting favorable effect of Job's-tear cereal on hyperlipidemia. Liver lipids levels were not affected by Job's-tear cereal.
