Currently, amount of export strawberry has been continuously increased to ship many south Asia countries, including Hong Kong and Singapore. In the distribution process, significant damage to the quality has been caused depending on the environmental conditions. Gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea has been known as major damage to the export strawberry, and the disease was caused during shipping and distribution to the final consumers. This study was performed to assess the relationship between pathogen density in packing shed and disease incidence of gray mold during storage period. Maximum gray mold disease incidence in storage period was up to 16% with low temperature condition ($4^{\circ}C$). At room temperature condition, the disease incidence reached up to 100% even densities of the pathogen spore were recorded relatively low in the packing shed. As results of the study, the correlation between pathogen density in the air and disease occurrence clearly clarified.

Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI) of any severity can result in broad and persisting biopsychosocial sequelae. Depression after TBI occur at a greater frequency than in the general population, with estimates approaching 25% to 50% for major depression, and 155 to 30% for dysthmia. Acute onset depressions are related to lesion location and may have their etiology in biological response of the injured brain, whereas delayed onset depressions may be mediated by psychosocial factors, suggesting psychological reactions as a possible mechanism. Anxious depressions are associated with right hemisphere lesions, whereas major depressions alone are associated with left dorsolateral frontal and left basal ganglia lesions. However, there is insufficient information to postulate a specific neuroanatomic model for TBI-related depression.

실어증은 뇌손상으로 인해 발생하는 후천적 언어장애로서, 언어를 이해하고 표현하는 능력이 손상된 것이다. 이는 환자 개인의 어려움은 물론이고, 가족과 사회에도 문제를 초래할 수 있으므로 실어증 환자의 진단 및 치료는 중요하다. 그 중에서도 빠른 언어 치료는 발병 후 조기에 시작할수록 회복이 빠르다는 점에서 연구 결과들이 일치하고 있기 때문에 더욱 중요하다. 하지만 환자 대비 언어치료전문가의 수가 적어 치료시기를 놓칠 수 있기 때문에 가장 중요한 것은 빠른 실어증 진단과 전문가와의 접근성이다. 우리나라는 인터넷 보급률과 컴퓨터 보급률이 높기 때문에, 웹기반으로 시스템을 개발 한다면 우수한 접근성을 보장받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 '온라인 언어 재활 훈련 및 진단 시스템'을 제안하고 본 시스템을 통해 얻을 수 있는 데이터와, 이 데이터를 어떻게 가공하여 의미 있는 결과를 도출해 낼 수 있는지 소개한다. 본 시스템은 짧은 시간 안에 실어증 여부 확인과 언어 재활 훈련을 수행할 수 있고, 웹기반으로 개발되어 누구나 쉽게 치료와 관련된 콘텐츠, 정보, 그리고 재활 방법을 공유할 수 있다.

고혈압과 당뇨병은 성인에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 만성 질환으로서 특히 두 가지 질환을 함께 가지고 있는 경우가 많다. 고혈압과 당뇨병은 둘 다 심장질환, 뇌혈관질환, 신장질환 및 망막질환의 위험 인자로서 조기에 합병증을 발생시켜 유병률과 사망률을 증가시킨다. 통계에 의하면 당뇨병을 가지고 있는 사람은 없는 사람에 비해서 두 배 이상 고혈압이 발생하고 당뇨병 환자의 1/3에서 결국 고혈압이 발생하는데 특히 50세 이전에는 여자보다 남자에서 많이 발생하며, 50세 이후에는 남자보다 여자에서 많이 발생한다. 또한 백인에서 보다 흑인에서 두 가지 병을 가지고 있는 경우가 두 배 이상 많으며 경제적으로 빈곤할 수록 많이 발생한다고 한다. 당뇨병 환자에서는 고혈압이 유병률이나 사망률을 증가시키는 가장 중요한 요인인데 그 이유는 고혈압의 합병증, 즉 관동맥질환, 뇌졸중, 말초혈관질환, 신장질환 등의 발생과 성인 시력장애의 가장 흔한 원인으로 인정되고 있기 때문이다. 또한 당뇨병 환자에서도 고혈압 발생이 두 배로 많은데 당뇨병의 유형 및 기간, 신장질환 유무, 연령, 성별 및 인종에 따라 관련이 있다고 한다. 두 가지 질병이 다 같이 유사한 합병증을 일으켜 표적 장기에 손상을 주므로 두 질환을 가지고 있으면 이러한 합병증의 발병을 더욱 앞당기게 된다.

For the purpose of practical application of gamma irradiation for export lily without the ionic energy damage, 150 Gy gamma ray was suggested as the safe level on cut lilies, the oriental cultivar Siberia (white) and Sorbonne (pink). The combined treatments of 150 Gy gamma ray and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at 0, 40, 100, and $200{\mu}g/l$, were tried to control lily leaf blight caused by Botrytis elliptica. Incidences of petal blight on the two oriental lilies at control were 93%-95%, whereas those at the combined treatments of 150 Gy and $100{\mu}g/l$ or higher of NaDCC were 76%-83%. However, severity of petal blight was not reduced by the combined treatments. Gamma irradiation at 150 Gy did not change the cut lily quality such as improve cut lily longevity of vase-life compare with the control. In addition, fresh weight, chlorophyll contents, and the color of pink petals of Sorbonne were not changed by 150 Gy of gamma irradiation. Therefore, we recommend the combined treatment of 150 Gy gamma irradiation and $100{\mu}g/l$ NaDCC for the standard operating procedure on cut lily for export quarantine to control leaf blight.

Background: Surgery for Stanford type A aortic dissection shows a high operative mortality rate and frequent postoperative brain injury. This study was designed to find out the risk factors leading to operative mortality and brain injury after surgical repair in patients with type A aortic dissection. Material and Method: One hundred and eleven patients with type A aortic dissection who underwent surgical repair between February, 1995 and January 2005 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 99 acute dissections and 12 chronic dissections. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify risk factors of operative mortality and brain injury. Resuit: Hospital mortality occurred in 6 patients (5.4%). Permanent neurologic deficit occurred in 8 patients (7.2%) and transient neurologic deficit in 4 (3.6%). Overall 1, 5, 7 year survival rate was 94.4, 86.3, and 81.5%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed 4 risk factors to be statistically significant as predictors of mortality: previous chronic type III dissection, emergency operation, intimal tear in aortic arch, and deep hypothemic circulatory arrest (DHCA) for more than 45 minutes. Multivariate analysis revealed previous chronic type III aortic dissection (odds ratio (OR) 52.2), and DHCA for more than 45 minutes (OR 12.0) as risk factors of operative mortality. Pathological obesity (OR 12.9) and total arch replacement (OR 8.5) were statistically significant risk factors of brain injury in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: The result of surgical repair for Stanford type A aortic dissection was good when we took into account the mortality rate, the incidence of neurologic injury, and the long-term survival rate. Surgery of type A aortic dissection in patients with a history of chronic type III dissection may increase the risk of operative mortality. Special care should be taken and efforts to reduce the hypothermic circulatory arrest time should alway: be kept in mind. Surgeons who are planning to operate on patients with pathological obesity, or total arch replacement should be seriously consider for there is a higher risk of brain injury.

Purpose : The acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS), an acute form of severe alveolar-capillary injury evolving after a direct or indirect lung insult is thought to be a common cause of respiratory failure though not many clinical studies on the subject have been made yet. Methods : Between January 1992 and December 2001, we conducted a retrospective study on 33 children who fulfilled the definition of the ARDS recommended by the American-European Consensus Conference in 1994. Results : A total of 33 patients(20 boys and 13 girls) were selected. Their age ranged from 4 months to 12 years with seven children younger than 1 year. The overall mortality rate was 78.8% and no significant difference was noted based on age or sex. Concerning seasonal variation, incidence of the ARDS increased in spring, especially in May(21.2%). Pneumonia(66.7%) was found to be the most common risk factor of the ARDS followed by sepsis(24.2%) and aspiration(3.0%). In immune compromised children(six cases), including a recipient of bone marrow transplantation, the mortality rate was 100%. Compared with children with multiple organ failure recording a 83.3% mortality rate, those with isolated respiratory failure, showed a lower mortality rate of 33.3%, although stastistically insignificant. Between survivor and non-survivor groups, significant differences were shown in hematocrit, $PaO_2$, $PaCO_2$, PEEP, and $PaO_2/FiO_2$ on the seventh day after the onset of the ARDS. Conclusion : According to our study, respiratory failure proved to have a great effect on mortality rate in the ARDS. More aggressive intervention and further studies on this subject should be done to improve the survival rate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of sports injury and trend of incidence pattern of national judo athletes. The research method was analyzed based on the records of all injuries experienced by national judo athletes during training and competition for 9 years from 2008 to 2016. A total of 20,345 sports injuries requiring physical therapy were 10,768 (52.93%) for women, 9,577 (47.07%) for men, lower extremities 9,688 (47.62%), upper limbs 5,807 (28.54%), and trunk 4,850 (23.84%) and knee-related injuries (27.82%) occur more frequently than other injuries. Shoulders, feet and back were more frequent in male athletes, and ankle, neck and hand injuries were more common in female athletes. Using the binomial trend line, the trend of the decrease of sports injuries in each area was shown. However, infrequent injuries such as hands and hips tend to increase gradually. The results of this study are expected to be used as a training program for judo athletes' sports injury and basic data.

연구 목적 : 복지부 발표 '1993년도 대한민국 국민들의 영양상태'보고서를 보면 1인당 섭취열량은 1969보다 257Kcal가 줄어든 것으로 나타났다. 그런데도 불구하고 일부의 사람들은 과도한 열량을 섭취하고 있기 때문에 비만인 사람이 점점 늘어나고 있다. 그렇다보니 신문이나 잡지에서는 거의 매일 살빼는 약이나 신종 다이어트방법에 대한 광고와 기사를 앞다투어 내보내고 있는 실정이다. 비만증은 근래에 발병률이 현저히 증가하면서 중풍, 당뇨병, 고혈압, 암, 간경화증, 당석증 등의 만성질환의 이환율을 증가시키고, 관절에 큰 부담을 주어 골관절염을 보다 빠르게 진전시키며, 사람들의 수명을 단축시키는 등 심각한 건강상의 문제를 일으키고 있다. 또한 비만증은 용모의 손상을 일으켜 정신적인 스트레스의 주요 인자로 등장하고 있기도 하다. 비만인이 증가하는 원인으로는 서구화된 음식습관으로 동물성 지방질과 단백질의 섭취증가, TV 자동차 세탁기 오디오 리모콘 등 생활이기의 사용으로 인한 운동부족, 체질과 질병 등이 재기되고 있다. 이제까지 비만을 치료하기 위한 많은 시도가 있었으나 주된 이론은 섭취음식의 절재와 운동량을 증가시키는 것이었으며, 체질적인 요소를 중심으로 비만증을 해결하려는 시도는 없었다. 이에 저자는 1992년 8월 20일부터 1995년 8월 19일까지 만 3년동안 상지대학교 부속한방병원 체질의학과에서 치료받는 461명의 환자를 대상으로 사상체질과 비만과의 상관성을 임상적으로 연구하고 그 효과를 보고하는 바이다. 연구 결론 : 상지대학교 부속한방병원에 내원치료를 받고 있는 비만증환자들을 대상으로하여 체질과 비만과의 관계를 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 비만증 환자의 70.2%가 태음인이었다. 2. 치료결과 4주동안에는 $1.48{\pm}1.64kg$, 5주부터 8주동안에는 $2.05{\pm}2.10kg$, 9주부터 12주동안에는 $2.18{\pm}2.27kg$, 13주부터 16주동안에는 $2.08{\pm}2.88kg$이 감량되었다. 3. 체중감량에 있어 태음인이 가장 많은 감소를 보였다. 연령별로는 10대에서 가장 많은 감소를 보였다. 4. 비만환자의 혈액 가운데 총 콜레스테롤, 저밀도 지방단백이 높온 사람보다 유리지방산과 중성지방이 높은 경우가 대부분을 차지했다. 5. 비만인의 혈청지질에서는 FFA, TG가 높았다. 그 이유는 육식보다는 당질과 지방질의 섭취로 나타난 것이었다.
