본 연구는 2001년 한국에서 사망한 60세 이상 노인들 62,000명의 사망기록 자료를 이용하여 사망원인의 다양성을 보여주는 한편 치매에 의한 사망원인을 가장 잘 예측할 수 있는 변수를 경험적으로 규명하고자 실시하였다. 이와 같은 목적을 위한 연구내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인들의 주요 사망원인에 해당하는 악성종양, 뇌혈관 질환, 심장병, 당뇨, 만성 호흡기 질환, 치매, 고혈압, 간 질환, 사고, 결핵 및 기타 질병 등 11개 사망원인에 대하여 빈도분석을 실시하였다. 둘째, 60세 이상 사망자들 가운데 치매에 의한 사망원인과 나머지 19개의 사망원인을 비교하여 치매에 의한 사망에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 다항로지스틱회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 노인인구 가운데 연령이 높을수록 치매로 인하여 사망할 가능성(우도비)이 높으며 여성이 남성에 비해 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 교육수준이 높을수록 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 거주지역은 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 있었으나 일관성은 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 결혼지위는 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

국내의 질환별 사망률에 대한 보고를 참조하면, 뇌졸중은 암에 이어서 높은 사망률을 보이는 질환이며, 단일 질환으로는 가장 높은 사망률을 보인다. 뇌졸중은 높은 사망률을 나타내는 문제 외에도 후유증으로 심한 장애를 남길 수 있다. 그러므로 고령화 사회로 접어들고 있는 우리나라의 상황을 고려할때 뇌졸중은 치매와 더불어서 주요한 노인 질환일 뿐만 아니라, 뇌졸중이 발생하게 되면 후유증으로 장애가 남는 경우가 많으므로 지속적으로 환자의 가족과 주변에 대한 사회적 부담을 가중 시키는 문제를 불러온다.

Vascular dementia is a very frequent form of dementia. Debates over classification and diagnostic criteria, and controversy over identifiable treatment targets will continue until distinct pathophysiological mechanism of vascular dementia is found. Clinical diagnostic criteria are sufficiently strong to be useful for clinical trials, but need further refinement. Cognitive changes in vascular dementia are more variable than other disorders, and are dependent on the vascular pathology. Accurate diagnosis of vascular dementia is known to need the presence of reliable cerebrovascular disease on brain imaging. Although it seems obvious that cerebrovascular disease causes pathological damage and impaired cognition, it is very difficult to find the accurate contribution of cerebrovascular pathology to cognitive decline. Most studies have shown a small but significant benefit of cholinesterase inhibitors on cognition, the significance of this effect has been slight and benefits on global functioning, activities of daily living, and behaviour have not been consistently reported. Management of vascular dementia should focus on identifying and managing vascular risk factors.

This study is a descriptive survey to examine the dementia related attitudes and dementia preventive behaviors in middle aged and to determine the relationships between the both sides. In this study, between October 1st and 9th, 2017, data were collected from the middle aged people in their 40s~60s in Korea through online questionnaires. Finally, 220 questionnaires were analyzed by t-test One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and etc. The results of the study are as follows. First, 52.7% of the subjects were interested in prevention of dementia, but only 5.9% of them had experience of receiving education related to dementia. Second, fear of dementia was higher than cancer, cerebrovascular disease, and cardiovascular disease, but confidence in coping with the disease, expectation of the possibility of maintaining the daily life, expectation of the help of the family and the surrounding people, expectation of the national medical and economic support were significantly lower. Third, as the dementia preventive behaviors were implemented, the confidence in overcoming the disease, the expectation of the possibility of maintaining the daily life, the expectation of the help of the family and the surrounding people, the expectation of the medical and economic support of the country increased and the burden of the treatment cost was lowered. As a result, it is thought that this personal and social effort will improve the quality of life of the people by reducing physical, psychological, social and economic problems caused by dementia.

In the literatual study on the cerebral vascular dementia, the results were as follows : 1. Cerebral vascular dementia is so called apoplectic dementia, because it almost occurs after apoplexy, the attack rate has gradually increased by increase of life, so it exert a harmful influence to geriatric diseases. 2. The etiological factors are summarized on deficiency in the heart, kidney, liver(心, 腎, 肝虛), pathogenic wind(豊) pathogenic fire(火) phlegm(痰) and stagnated blood(瘀血) in the oriental medicine, and multiple cerebral infarction, cerebral anemia, decrease of cerebral vascular flow are etiological factors in the occidental medicine. 3. The region of infarction and attack of cerebral vascular dementia have a close connection, and generally the cerebral vascular dementia easily occur in injury of white matter of brain. 4. Symptoms of cerebral vascular dementia are dysphasia, walking disorder, hemiplegia, sensory paralysis, disturbance of memory, judgement, calculation, emotion incontinence, speech impediment, silence or talkative, lower thinking ability and depersonalization, and symptoms are aggravated by stage. 5. Therapeutic herb medicines are Palpungsan(八風散), Baepungsan(排風散), Jinsaanshinhwan(辰砂安神丸), Sabacksan(四白散), Kanghwalyupungsan(姜活愈風散), Woohwangchungshimhwan(牛黃淸心丸), and they are used to dispelling pathogenic wind(祛風), soothe the nerves(安神), dispel pathogenic heat from lung, nourish the blood(淸肺養血).

Accumulating evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not only caused by accumulation of abnormal proteins, including amyloid and tau, but is also closely associated with abnormalities in the microvascular environment including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), both of which lead to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Application of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently increased to assess BBB permeability in AD and related diseases. Here, we provide a narrative review of BBB permeability-related pathology in Alzheimer dementia and recent MRI research on BBB permeability changes in AD and related diseases. Furthermore, we briefly introduce the measurement of BBB permeability using MRI and its methodological issues.

This study analyzed the contents of the research papers concerning the vascular dementia(VD) recorded in Chinese medical journal published over the period between 1998 and 2000. As a result, the following conclusion was drawn. The Chinese medical category of VD includes Sun-Mang(善忘), Chi-Mae, Jung-Pung-Chi-Mae and so on, and the Major mechanism of the VD is Bon-Heo- Pyo-Sil(state of deficient vital essence and excessive pestilential vapor;本虛標實), Bon(本) includes Sin-Jeong-Heo-Son(腎精虧損), Ki-Hyeol-Hyu-Heo(氣血虧虛) and Pyo(標) includes Dam-Chae-Eo-Jo(痰滯瘀阻), Ki-Chae-Hyeol-Eo(氣滯血瘀), Gan-Yang-Sang-Hang(肝陽上亢). It is mainly used DSM and evidence of brain-vascular disease in brain CT or MRI as the criterion for diagnosis in Western medicine and MMSE, HDS, ADL is used as assistant diagnostic indicator. "Principle of clinical study guidance for treatment of dementia by Chinese medicine, Western medicine"("中藥新藥治療痴呆 病的臨床硏究指導原則") is mainly used as the criterion for diagnosis in Chinese medicine. It is mainly used "Principle of clinical study guidance for treatment of senile disease by Chinese medicine, Western medicine"("中藥新藥治療老年病臨床硏究指導原則"), "Principle of clinical study guidance for treatment of dementia by Chinese medicine, Western medicine" as the criterion for treatment effect evaluation, and score change of MMSE and HDS is used as assistant evaluation indicator. The research papers reported that the use of prescriptions such as Hwan-Chong-Dan(還聰丹), Noi-Hyeol-So-Tong-Gu-Bok-Yaek(腦血疏通口服液), Yik-Gi-Gyo-Nang(益智膠囊), Cheon-Ma-Chok-Gi-Chung-Je(天麻促智沖劑), Sam-Gap-San-Ga-Mi-Bang(三甲散加味方), Seon-Ryong-Gyo-Nang(仙龍膠囊), Seong-Noi-Tang II(醒腦湯II號), Bo-Sin-Geon-Noi-Tang(補腎健腦湯), Ga-Mi-Tong-Gyu-Hyal-Hyeol-Tang(加味通竅活血湯), So-Jo-Yik-Ji-Bang(疏調益智方), Tong-Gyu-Hwal-Hyeol-Tang-Ga-Gam(通竅活血湯加減), Yik-Sin-Seong-Noi-Tang(益腎醒腦湯) led to the high efficacy.
