This study was proposed to investigate vital signs in subjects undergoing high magnetic field (3T) MR imaging for provide basic data on causes of claustrophobia as few previous studies were conducted on this special issue. Vital signs of 104 patients were monitored before and during the clinically indicated MR examinations to identify any relationship between MR scanning and the vital signs. An increase of systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure were observed. However, they were not statistically significant(p>0.05), which meant the vital signs measured before and during the MRI scanning showed no significant change. This study is considered to be meaningful basic data for analyzing the links between vital sign fluctuations on claustrophobia during routine clinical MR examinations.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether PPAT drawing using an application can be developed on digital devices for game addicts. The PPAT drawing test is useful and reliable for verifying problem-solving skills in how people pick apples. As a result of this study, the over-immersion group scored lower than the average user group in the "problem Solving" category of the PPAT drawing test using the PPAT drawing applicaion on digital devices, and expressed by not reaching for apples, or by picking apples without reasonable support. The findings in this study suggest that the PPAT drawing test application on digital devices has significantly demonstrated its original purpose of 'problem resolution', as well as future psychotherapeutic interventions for Internet over-immersion subjects as well as users who are familiar with digital devices.

농업협동중앙회는 ‘86년부터 공제 계약자에 대한 환원산업의 일환으로 계약자 건강검사를 실시해오고 있다. 간염, 자궁암 검사를 중심으로 건강검사를 실시해온 농협은 그 동안 많은 농민들에게 혜택을 주어왔다. 농협전남도지회의 경우 지난해에 간염 19,488명, 자궁암 11,070명, 소변검사 30,588명을 검사해 내고 자궁암의 경우, 유소견자가 발견되었을 때는 건협과 함께 치료를 받을 때까지 권유와 사후관리를 소홀히 하지 않았다. 뿐만 아니라 검사결과 전반을 분석 · 검토하여 농민의 건강상태, 건강에 관한 의식정도, 검사과정의 문제점, 개선 방안 등을 모색하여 농민복지에 기여해야 한다는 복지 환원사업을 성실히 이끌어 나가고 있다. 이러한 노력은 어느 곳에서나 마찬가지였지만 특히 전남농협도지회는 이성재도지회장을 비롯한 직원들 모두가 일심동체가 되어 농민 건강에 대한 각별한 관심을 가지고 일해 왔다. 그것은 이 건강검사를 받은 농민들 특히 질병을 발견해 치료를 받은 사람들이 농협공제사업에 대한 필요성과 고마움을 이야기하는 데서 충분히 느낄 수 있었다. 기자는 지난해에 있었던 전남도지회 검사에서 자궁암을 발견한 17명 중 몇 사람을 만나 이야기를 들어봤다.

Purpose : Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is known as one of the most common causes of chronic cough, especially in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of parameters from proximal esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring through its comparison with those of distal esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring that we generally use for diagnosis of GERD. Methods : We performed chest CT scans to find out the cause of chronic cough in infants with no clinical manifestation suggesting GERD. Then, in case that they had air space consolidation in posterior segment of both upper lobes and superior segment of both lower lobes(dependent position), we performed proximal and distal esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring. Results : The proximal and distal pH monitoring were performed in 17 infants(male 12; female five). The patients with positive pathologic reflux in proximal esophagus were 15 of 17(88.2%) and in distal esophagus were four of 17(23.5%). Reflux index and the total number of reflux episodes were statistically significantly lower in the proximal than in the distal esophagus(P<0.05). There was no correlation between each parameters of proximal and distal esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring. Conclusion : This study suggests that proximal esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring can be used as a very useful diagnostic tool in infants with chronic cough in which there are suspicions that it resulted from aspiration due to GERD.

Purpose The importance of quality control by the error to a minimum, which for the purpose of enhancing the reliability of the examination is not be emphasized excess. Currently, most nuclear medicine laboratory are conducting the internal and external quality control, and they are applying the Levey-Jennings or Westgard Multi-Rules by using the commercialized quality control materials. The reliability of the nuclear medicine blood test which affects the diagnosis of patients and the treatment policy is being secured through this quality control activity. Therefore, researchers will evaluate the utility of the statistic quality control using the population distribution of the nuclear medicine blood test conducted targeting the checkup examinees by the additional technique of the reliability improvement. Materials and Methods A statistic analysis was performed about 12 items of the nuclear medicine blood test targeting 41,341 peoples who used the health screening and promotion center in Asan Medical Center from January, 2014 to December, 2014. The results of 12 items of the nuclear medicine blood test was divided into the monthly percentage of three groups: within reference values, over reference, and under reference to analyze the average value of the population distribution, standard deviation, and standard deviation index (SDI). Results The standard deviation of the population distribution mostly showed a result within ${\pm}2SD$ in all groups. However, When the standard deviation of the population distribution represented a result over ${\pm}2SD$, it was confirmed SDI was showing a result of SDI > -2 or SDI > 2. As a result of analyzing the population distribution of 12 items(AFP, CEA, CA19-9, CA125, PSA, TSH, FT4, Anti-Tg-Ab, Anti-TPO-Ab, Calcitonin, 25-OH-VitD3, Insulin) of the nuclear medicine blood part basic test, when SDI of the monthly percentage which deviated from the reference values was over ${\pm}2.0$, CA19-9 September was 2.2, Anti-Tg-Ab may was 2.2, Insulin January was 2.3, Insulin March was 2.4. It was confirmed these cases were attributed to the abnormality of the test reagent (maximum combination rate of isotope reagent declined) and the decline of the test response time. Conclusion The population distribution includes the entire attribute which becomes the study object. It is expected the statistic quality management using the population distribution which was conducted targeting the checkup examinees by dividing into three groups: within reference values, over reference, and under reference by means of this characteristics will be able to play a role of complementing the internal quality control program which is being carried out in the laboratory.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest a multimodal diagnostic approach to determine the cause of the disease in patients diagnosed with synovitis of the wrist and who underwent synovectomy. Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine patients, who underwent contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) preoperatively and synovectomy from January 2000 to December 2013, were reviewed retrospectively. Among them, 17 patients underwent a $Tc^{99m}$ white blood cell (WBC) scan preoperatively. In patients who met the diagnostic criteria of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the diagnosis was confirmed as RA if the MRI finding or histology was compatible with RA. If the MRI finding and histology were disparate, the final diagnosis was made based on the histologic finding. Results: Of the nine patients who met the diagnostic criteria of RA, seven patients were finally diagnosed as RA and two patients as tuberculous arthritis. Of the 20 patients who did not meet the diagnostic criteria of RA, the MRI findings and histology were consistent with the same disease in 12 patients. In the remaining eight patients, five were diagnosed with nonspecific chronic synovitis, one with RA, and two with tuberculous arthritis based on the clinical findings, MRI, and histology findings. Conclusion: MRI and a WBC scan are very useful imaging modalities for diagnosing the causative condition of the wrist synovitis. A histology evaluation after synovectomy can also be useful in cases with a difficult diagnosis or are refractory to medications.

향후 21세기는 지금껏 경험해 보지 못한 고령화 사회로서, 골다공증은 심혈관 질환 및 당뇨병에 이어 가장 중요한 노인 질환으로 대두 되어질 것이다. 그러므로 골다공증에 대한 조기 진단과 예방을 위한 진단방법은 매우 중요하나 잘못된 진단으로 조기발견을 놓칠 수 있게 된다. 여러장비 중 Radiographic Absorptiometry는 단순 X선 촬영을 통해서 피질골(손의 metacapal bone)의 두께를 측정하는 방법으로 간단하지만 약간의 오류를 갖고 있어 검사부위의 변환을 통해 결과값을 연구하고자 한다.
