The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors and mediating effects of physical activity and nourishment regulation on well-being among young and middle aged patients on DM medication and to compare between those with non-pharmacological treatment and those without. Data were obtained from 2017 community health survey including 1,480 DM patients with oral medication in the age between 20 and 49. Using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0, path analysis was performed to explore the association between personal factors (socio-economic status, health habit, eating habit and compliance of health examination) and well-being, along with mediating effects of physical activity. Results demonstrated the different mediating role of physical activity. In medication only group, there was no direct effect of physical activity and no indirect effect of personal factors. Direct effect of physical activity and indirect effects of predictors were found in those with non-pharmacological treatment group. When developing strategies to enhance well-being of young and middle aged diabetic patients, proper reflection of their age specific traits and disease management capability are essential.

항암화학요법후 가장 심각한 부작용의 하나는 중성구 감소에 의한 감염이다. 본원에서는 rhGM-CSF을 이용한 제 I상 임상연구에서 150-500$\mu$g/M$^2$/day가 biologically active dose임을 보고한 바 있다. 연자들은 연세암센터에 내원하여 진행성 악성종양으로 병리조직학적 진단을 받고 항암화학요법 시행후 골수억제가 예상되는 환자를 대상으로 GM-CSF 용량에 따른 안전성 및 독성을 검토하고 백혈구 감소증 및 감염의 예방, 치료효과를 분석하여 임상사용권장량을 결정하기위한 2상 연구덜 대상환자의 동의를 얻은후 시행하였다. 대상환자는 37명 (여 26, 남 11)이었고, 항암제는 Adriamycin, Cisplatin, VP-l6 이 주로 사용되었다. 최적임상사용권장량을 결정하기 위하여 1500$\mu\textrm{g}$/M$^2$/day을 12명, 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/M$^2$/day을 12명, 350$\mu\textrm{g}$/M$^2$/day을 13명의 환자에게 투여하였다. 첫번째 항암요법에는 rhGM-CSF을 투여하지않고 (비투여기) 두번째 항암요법에서는 항암요법후 익일부터 10일간 연속, 매일 1회 피하주사하여 (투여기), rhGM-CSF 투여기와 비투여기의 백혈구 감소중 정도의 차이를 비교하였다.

This study aims to analyze chemotherapy medication safety management system and formulate efficient methods to solve problems in the medication safety practices through application of 6 sigma techniques. From the results of analysis conducted, targeting nurses, such 3 factors as process-related factor, nurse-related factor and environment-related factor were identified as problems of the chemotherapy medication safety management. Through analyzing the prior knowledge about chemotherapy mediation safety and level of performance of nurses, the educational performance to complement deficiencies were selected as the final improvement plan, and the improvement activities were completed through drawing out management plans that specify management methods and countermeasures in the event of problems.

As the population grows older and medical treatments are advancing, the number of spine surgeries in elderly patients has been increasing. To obtain a successful outcomes of spine surgery in elderly patients, surgeons should prepare meticulously because elderly patients can have osteoporosis and surgery can be more extensive than in younger patients. Therefore, this study reviewed the perioperative medical treatment, particularly for osteoporosis, to improve the surgical outcomes in elderly patients.

Most of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder(TMD) is temporary and self-limiting as other musculoskeletal diseases. Conservative, reversible treatment; self care, behavior modification, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, splint therapy should be considered as initial treatment for temporomandibular disorder rather than non conservative, irreversible treatment.

Purpose : Nocternal enuresis is a common disorder. Tricyclic antidepressant and desmopressin have been accepted pharmacological treatment for this disorder We conducted a cooperative study to investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of imipramine, desmopressin and combination treatment in children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis(PMNE). Methods: Data from a large multicenter study were analysed. In the period of 8 months in 2002, the study comprised of 168 children(78 boys and 90 girls, 5 to 15 years old) with PMNE for imipramine, desmopressin or combination treatment. Before treatment a history, physical examination and laboratory tests were performed and the children were observed for 2 weeks. Response rate, adverse reactions and enuresis episodes after stopping drug administration were evaluated after 12-weeks of imipramine, desmopressin or combination of both. Results: After 4 weeks, the frequency of bed wetting in all treated patients decreased during treatment significantly Even though a 30-50%, reduction in the number of wet nights were 68.6%, 74.4% and 86.1% during 12 weeks treatment by imipramine, desmopressin and both of them respectively, there was no significant difference between them. The most common adverse reaction was decreased appetite from imipramine administration. But no serious drug-related adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Efficacy of the combination therapy of imipramine and desmopressin in PMNE appears not to be better than either drug alone. It is necessary to pay attention on account of adverse reactions during imipramine treatment even though imipramine and desmopressin were generally well tolerated.

백내장은 수정체가 흐려져 빛을 투과시키지 못하면서 시력장애를 일으키는 질환이며, 더욱이 뚜렷한 예방책도 없다. 따라서 백내장은 가능한 한 발병 초기에 발견하는 것이 중요하다. 적절한 시기에 수술을 받아야 떨어진 시력을 거의 회복할 수 있게 되기 때문이다. 하지만, 약물요법은 이미 진행된 백내장을 원래 상태로 회복시키지 못하고, 단지 진행을 더디게 하는 일종의 보조요법이라는 한계가 있다. 따라서 백내장을 확실히 극복하기 위해선 수술을 받아야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to provide evidences throught integrative review of non-pharmacological intervention studies for constipation in the elderly in Korea. Through the domestic search engines RISS and KISS, eleven studies were selected by searching for theses and academic journals published in Korea from 2010 to January 2023. According to the study result, relevant studies were 11, and non-pharmacological interventions included abdominal massage, foot massage, acupressure, moxibustion, lifestyle intervention, carbonated water intake, and complex therapy. Constipation, sleep quality, and depression were confirmed as effects of the intervention. However, there is no study confirming the quality of life related to constipation in the elderly, so it is necessary to develop and apply a non-pharmacological intervention program for constipation considering the quality of life of the elderly.

Purpose: This research was conducted to compare the effects of drug therapy, physical therapy, and exercise on pain, disability, and depression in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: The research design of this study was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were 28 patients for the drug therapy & physical therapy, 24 patients for the drug therapy & exercise, and 22 patients for the physical therapy & exercise. Data was collected by MVAS, Oswestry disability questionnaires, and questionnaires of depression. It was analyzed by paired t-test for effectiveness, ANOVA, and Scheffe for comparison of the effects of the 3 experimental treatments, using SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: There were no effects of drug therapy & physical therapy on pain, disability, and depression. However, there were effects of drug therapy & exercise and the physical therapy & exercise on pain, disability, and depression. The effects of physical therapy & exercise on pain, disability, and depression were the greatest, but there was no statistically significant differences between the drug therapy & exercise and the physical therapy & exercise. Conclusions: Exercise is regarded as a more effective and easily accessible nursing intervention to apply alone than drug therapy or physical therapy simultaneously in reducing pain, disability and depression.
