This study explored the relation of health habit, stress and alexithymia in high school students. The subjects were 1,201 high school students. Collected data was analyzed by using the SPSS 17.0 program for descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$ -test, unpaired t-test. In results, exercise were significantly different according to health habit between the gastrointestinal symptoms and had no gastrointestinal symptoms. For the relation among the health habit, stress and alexithymia between the gastrointestinal symptoms and had no gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly different on stress and alexithymia. Therefore, the high schools should evaluate the students'health habit and stress due to the gastrointestinal symptoms. Schools should develop the health promotion program and operate it. And also train the students about communication method to help them recognizing their own feeling and express it, and also give them opportunity.

본 연구는 산업 간호사의 통상증상에 대한 투약 및 처치, 타의료기관에 의뢰내용, 응급조치 내용을 업종별로 비교 분석코저 한다. 연구방법은 산업간호사회에 등록된 산업장 중 서울, 인천, 마산, 창원, 부산, 울산지역에 있는 130개 산업장에 근무하는 산업간호사를 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 신체기관별 통상증상에 대한 처치 및 투약은 서비스업과 제조업, 기타제조업 모두에서 소화기계, 호흡기계증상에 대한 처치 및 투약 업무가 가장 많았으며 업종별로 보면 서비스업의 경우 소화불량, 감기, 근육통, 설사, 기침, 두통, 복통, 구토, 변비 등이 80% 이상을 차지하였다. 제조업의 경우 소화불량, 감기, 설사, 두통, 근육통 등이 많았으며 기타제조업의 경우 감기, 두통, 소화불량, 근육통, 설사, 기침, 눈다락지 순으로 나타났다. 2) 근로자를 타의료기관에 의뢰 하는 내용은 즉각적인 수술을 요할때나 골절, 내부장기의 손상, 두뇌손상, 출혈 등으로 나타났다. 3) 업종별 응급조치내용은 서비스업에서는 화상과 쇼크, 출혈이 가장 많았으며 유해물질의 급성중독의 경우가 가장 적었다. 제조업에서는 화상, 골절, 쇼크, 출혈, 유해물질의 급성중독이, 기타제조업에서는 화상, 골절, 쇼크, 출혈의 순으로 많았다. 4) 업종별 구비관리하고 있는 의약품은 서비스업종이 제조업, 기타제조업보다 많은 의약품을 구비하고 있었으나 경미한 통상증상에 대한 의약품으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과들을 통해 볼때 제조업, 기타제조업, 서비스업종의 보건관리자가 일차보건의료수준에서의 투약 및 처치를 시행하고 있는 바, 이에 대한 구체적이고 명확한 투약의 범위를 설정하여 보건관리자의 직무를 표준화할 필요가 있으며 서비스업종에 종사하는 근로자의 건강문제와 관련요인을 구체적으로 연구할 것을 제안한다.

Behest's disease is manifested as ulcers present in oral cavity, on external genital organ, orbital area, and skin. This disease could also cause other symptoms by invading the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, central nervous system, and urogenital system. It is very rare for Behcet's disease to be accompanied by carotid artery aneurysm and intestinal perforation. We report a patient with Behcet's disease, who is diagnosed with symptoms and pathological findings as haying carotid artery aneurysm and intestinal perforation at the same time. The patient underwent operation for the aneurysm and the intestinal perforation.

Objectives : The current study aimed at assessing clinical symptoms and personality characteristics on MMPI of patients in Hwa-Byung clinic. Methods : Thirty-one female patients($45.4{\pm}8.4$ years old) who visited to the Hwa-Byung Clinic in Ewha womans Dongdaemoon hospital were recruited. Semistructured interviews and laboratory tests for symptoms were performed for the patients group. Patients group and control group($42.9{\pm}8.0$ years old) completed MMPI. Results : All patients had symptoms of chest tightness or chest pain. 19(61.3%) out of 31 patients had gastrointestinal complaints. There were respiratory symptoms in 13(41.9%) patients. 12 patients(38.7%) suffered from difficulties in their sleep. 12 patients(38.7%) had psychiatric symptoms including anxiety or depressed mood. 8 patients(27.6%) were diagnosed as gastrointestinal diseases by the laboratory test. After controlling age and education, scores of Hs, D, Hy, Pt on MMPI in patients group were significantly higher than control group (p=0.001, p=0.049, p=0.000, and p=0.029, ANCOVA, respectively). Conclusion : In the current study, patients who have visited Hwa-Byung clinic showed various somatic symptoms including chest tightness, gastrointestinal symptoms, complaints in respiratory system and psychiatric symptoms. Based on laboratory tests, considerable proportion of patients was diagnosed as physical illnesses. Additionally, patients in Hwa-Byung clinic have a tendency to be more hypochondriatic, depressed, hysteric and anxious.

Behcet's disease is classically described as featuring recurrent aphthous ulcers in the mouth and genital organs and as having relapsing iritis. Now it is being recognized as a mul tisystem disorder that involves of the skin, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, lung and the central nervous system as well as the joints, blood vessels and urologic systems. Large vessel diseases are unusual but aneurysm may occur in which the pulmonary circulation may give rise to the massive and often fatal hemoptysis. A 29 year-old man who complained of having dyspnea and hemoptysis during six months visited our hospital. He received right bilobectomy for a mass located in the right lower lobe. He underwent right bilobectomy. The final pathologic diagnosis was a pulmonary artery aneurysm which origina ted from the pulmonary artery.

Although diaphragmatic eventration in newborn infants is generally regarded as a rare condition, the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention according to the etiological factors is well known. Recently the authors experienced five consecutive cases of diaphragmatic eventration below the age of two months(one to 55 days) requiring surgery. All were in males, and were left sided. Respiratory symptoms were present in 4 patients, and one patient showed inability to gain weight. Diaphragms were elevated to the level of the third to fifth intercostal spaces. Diaphragmatic plication through the abdomen gave excellent results. There was no postoperative mortality.

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an idiopathic inflammatory connective tissue disorder and a systemic autonomic immune disease which shows a progressive muscle weakness and characteristic rash. It is identified by a characteristic rash accompanying, or more often preceding muscle weakness. Pathognomonic skin lesions are a blue-purple discoloration on the upper eyelids with edema (heliotropic rash), a flat red rash on the face and upper trunk, and erythema of the knuckles with a raised violaceous scaly eruption (Gottron's papule). The myopathy represents inflammatory and degenerative changes primarily affecting proximal muscles. DM often involves GI tract and respiratory system with as risk of 15-25% internal malignancy. It's managed with sun protection since muscle weakness as well as a rash could be aggravated by sun exposure. Systemic corticosteroid is an initial therapy and other immunosuppressive agent has been used as alternatives. Facial muscles are unaffected and masticatory muscles are rarely affected in DM. We present trismus close to muscle contracture in a patient with DM. Therefore, it needs continuous mouth-opening exercise to prevent progressive muscle contracture and to ensure normal mouth opening.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment with Temporomandibular Joint Balancing Therapy (TBT) on Tic disorder patient with nausea and vomiting. Methods: In this study, Tic disorder patient with nausea and vomiting was treated by Korean medical treatment (acupuncture, herb medicine, etc.), including Temporomandibular Joint Therapy from Feb 28th, 2023 to Jul 10th, 2023. Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used for measuring the Tic disorder and accompanying symptoms. Results: After 32 sessions treatment, the YGTSS decreased from 67 to 0, and VAS associated with Tic disorder, nausea and vomiting also decreased 6 to 0 and 8 to 0 respectively. Conclusions: These results showed that Korean medical treatment with Temporomandibular Joint Balancing Therapy could improve Tic symptoms with nausea and vomiting. But further studies will be needed.

위암 환자의 수술후 5년 생존율은 조기암의 경우 90%이상으로 매우 좋으나 진행암의 경우 20~30%를 넘지 못한다. 위암의 예후에 영향을 주는 요인 중 조기 발견보다 더 중요한 것은 없으며, 조기암의 진단율에 노력을 기울이는 것이 현실적 타개책이라 하겠다. 현재 우리나라의 조기암 진단율은 16~22%로 일본의 40~45%보다 극히 저조하므로 소화기계 증상이 있는 경우 위내시경 검사를 적극 권고함이 바람직하다. 위암은 외과적 절제술이 유일한 근치치료법임은 주지의 사실이며 근래에는 위내시경 및 복강경을 이용하여 위장관 기능을 보존하는 술식도 시도되고 있어 바람직한 발전이라 사료되나, 림프절 곽청의 원칙을 훼손하지 않는 범위내에서 이루어져야할 것이다. 근치적 절제술의 정의에 합당한 외과적 치료법만이 5년 생존율 향상을 기대할 수 있으며, 보조적 항암화학요법과 면역요법은 대상 환자의 엄선으로 부분적 치료효과를 기대할 수 있다. 절제불능 위암이나 국소진행암에서 절제율을 높이기 위한 술전치료방법들의 적극적 도입이 바람직하다. 그러나 대상 환자의 선정에 있어 객관적 타당성이 있는 병기 결정 방법과 치료효과를 판정하는 방법의 혁신이 있어야 할 것으로 사료되며 현재의 부정확한 검사방법들의 대안으로 복강경의 이용이 바람직하리라 사료된다.
