Colorectal cancer is one of the most steeply increasing malignancies in Korea. Among 398,824 new patients recorded by the Korea Central Cancer Registry between 2003 and 2005, 47,915 cases involved colorectal cancers, accounting for 12.0 % of all malignancies. In 2002, total number of colorectal cancer cases had accounted for 11.2 % of all malignancies. Hereditary syndromes are the source of approximately 5% to 15% of overall colorectal cancer cases. Hereditary colorectal cancers are divided into two types: hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), and cancers associated with hereditary colorectal polyposis, including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis, and the recently reported hMutYH (MYH)-associated polyposis (MAP). Hereditary colorectal cancers have unique clinical features distinct from sporadic cancer because these are due to germline mutations of the causative genes; (i) early age-of-onset of cancer, (ii) frequent association with synchronous or metachronous tumors, (iii) frequent association with extracolonic manifestations. The management strategy for patients with hereditary colorectal cancer is quite different from that for sporadic cancer. Furthermore, screening, genetic counseling, and surveillance for at-risk familial member are also important. A well-organized registry can plays a central role in the surveillance and management of families affected by hereditary colorectal cancers. Here, we discuss each type of hereditary colorectal cancer, focusing on the clinical and genetic characteristics, management, genetic screening, and surveillance.

본 논문에서는 시간 간격을 두고 활영한 흉부의 단순 x선 영상의 차영상을 이용하여 컴퓨터 도움 진단에 활용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 시간 간격을 두고 촬영한 흉부 단순 x선 영상의 차영상은 시간에 따른 변화를 명확히 보여줌으로써 질병의 조기진단 및 질병의 전개과정 등을 알아보는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 특히, 이 방법은 폐암과 같이 조기진단이 매우 어려운 질병에 대하여 정기검진 등에서 정기적으로 촬영한 단순 x선 영상을 이용하여 조기진단을 할 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있다. 그러나, 촬영시의 여러 가지 조건들, x선의 세기와 조영시간, 환자의 촬영 자세 및 호흡 상태 등에 따라 단순 x선 영상이 크게 달라져 단순한 뺄셈에 의한 차영상은 진단에 도움이 되지 못한다. 진단에 도움을 주기 위해서는 두 영상 사이의 전체적인 밝기와 대조도를 맞추고 늑골, 쇄골 등 해부학적 구조물의 위치와 크기를 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻는 영상처리 방법이 필요하다. 또한, 폐의 크기와 위치도 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻어야 한다. 그러나, 이러한 방법도 늑골과 폐의 크기와 위치 변화가 서로 일치하지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영상처리를 통하여 차영상을 얻는 방법에 대하여 논하고 방법상의 문제점과 해결 방법을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the dental screening and health care behaviors for 17810 residents of Gyeongsangnam-do province using the data of the community health survey conducted in 2014. The SPSS ver. 23.0 statistical program was used. The residents were male, aged 30-49 years, city dwellers, their final education level was college or higher, their income was more than 600 KRW monthly, and they had a lot of experience of dental screening. In terms of oral health care, scaling, brushing after eating, brushing before going to bed, and brushing more than 4 times a day were found in the dental screening. In terms of health care, the levels of drinking, without chronic diseases, self-rated health and self-rated oral health were high when the residents had experience of dental screening(p<0.001). Therefore, it is necessary to establish a plan to improve the oral examination rate, because the level of dental screening is related to the levels of subjective health awareness and chronic diseases and lifestyle, and it is necessary to develop an education program to improve the awareness of the need for regular dental screening.

This study aims to analyze effects of mothers' socioeconomic features, and knowledge and behavior of oral health on experience and purpose of using dentistry. By survey to 103 mothers of 5-6 year old children, who use day care centers in seoul, the results are obtained as follows: 1. As for the rate of experiencing dental care classified by its purpose, 56.7% for dental treatment, 23.3% for regular check-up and 20.0% for precaution 2. There was no significant difference of correlativity between mothers' socioeconomic features and knowledge of oral health and experience of using dental care, while the lower rate of using dental floss, the higher rate of experiencing dental care(p < 0.01). 3. In respect of correlativity between mother's socioeconomic features and purpose of using dental care, the purpose of regular checkup was high in a group of mothers between 33 and 35 years old(71.4%) by ages and in a group of mothers who graduated from college(57.1%) by academic background(p < 0.05). 4. In correlativity between mothers' behavior of oral health and purpose of using dental care, the result showed that the higher the rate of using dental floss was, the higher the rate of experiencing dental care for a regular check-up was(p < 0.001) and the higher the rate of using fluoride dentifrices was, the higher the rate of using dental care for cure was(p < 0.05). 5. Multiple regression based on dependent variable of experience in using dental care showed that average monthly income(less than 2,500,000 won) was significant explanatory factor with 65% of explanatory variance. On the other hand, multiple regression based on dependent variable of purpose of using dental care showed that vocation(professional job) and age(between 33 and 35 years old) was significant explanatory factor with 70% of explanatory variance for a regular check-up, age(between 33 and 35 years old) and average monthly income (less than 2,500,000 won) was significant factor with 78% of explanatory variance for precaution and age(less than 32 years old) was significant explanatory factor with 33% of explanatory variance for treatment.

세계에서 매년 약 1,000만명의 새로운 암환자가 발생하고 있으며, 650만명이 암으로 사망하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 매년 약 85,000명의 새로운 암환자가 등록되고 있으며, 55,000명이 암으로 사망하고 있다. 이는 우리나라 전체 사망자의 20%를 차지하는 수치로서 사망원인으로는 단연 1위에 해당한다. 이처럼 암 발생과 암으로 인한 사망이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 암을 일으키는 원인인자를 밝히고 이러한 원인을 제거하여 암을 예방하려는 노력들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 실제로 몇몇 암의 경우에는 그 발생 원인들이 일부 밝혀지고 있는데, 대표적으로 금연을 통하여 폐암의 발생을 예방하고 간염백신 접종을 통해 간암을 예방하는 경우 등이다. 한편, 세계보건기구에서는 의학적인 관점에서 암 발생인구 가운데 1/3은 예방가능하고, 1/3은 조기진단만 되면 완치가 가능하며, 나머지 1/3의 환자도 적절한 치료를 한다면 완치가 가능한 것으로 보고하고 있다. 특히 우리나라에서 가장 흔한 위암, 유방암, 자궁경부암, 대장암 등은 조기에 발견할 경우 거의 완치가 가능하기 때문에, 이러한 암들에 대해서 정기적으로 검진을 실시할 겨우 암으로 인한 사망을 상당수 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이에 정부는 2002년부터 저소득층을 대상으로 위암, 유방암, 자궁경부암에 대해 조기검진을 무료로 실시하고 있으며, 암 예방 교육 및 홍보를 통하여 국민들에게 암에 대한 정확한 지식과 조기검진의 중요성을 전달하고, 나아가 생활양식의 변화를 유도하여 암을 예방하도록 하는 마스터플랜을 추진하고 있다.

Purpose: Recommendation for regular Pap test in the past 3 years as a cue to action affects on an increased likelihood of receiving a cervical cancer screening in that period. This study performed to estimate the association with healthcare access, healthcare provider status, and physician recommendation for Pap test in the past 3 years among Korean American women. Method: Korean Health survey was carried out in 2002. These population-based telephone surveys were conducted with Korean American women who resided in Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, California (n=865). We preformed multiple logistic regression analyses to estimate predictors of physician recommendation for Pap test by SAS 8.2. Results: Korean women in two California Counties were 37.9% who received physician recommendation for Pap test in the past 3 years. The predictors on physician recommendation for Pap test in the past 3 years were health insurance coverage, visiting number to doctor in the past year, and healthcare provider status. For healthcare access, no matter who had enrolled in public or private health insurances, the women were more likely to get the recommendation for Pap test from their regular healthcare provider. Particularly, for ethnicity of healthcare provider, the women were more likely to get the recommendation for Pap test from non-Korean female doctors (OR=6.21, 95% CI=2.63, 14.66), Korean male doctors (OR=2.19, 95% CI=1.30, 3.68), and non-Korean male doctors (OR=2.07, 95% CI=1.15, 3.71). Conclusion: (삭제) Effect of healthcare access and healthcare provider status on recommendation for Pap test among Korean American women in two California Counties would contribute to our understanding of developing strategies to promote adherence of Pap test and reduce morbidity and mortality far cervical cancer among Korean American women in the U.S.

The purpose of this study was to observe and analyze the initial marginal bone resorption changes according to the patterns of cover screw exposures during healing period followed by implants installation. Total 64 fixtures(TiUniteTM, NobelBiocare, Sweden) were installed in partially edentulous jaws of 28 patients, who were selected retrospectively and were shown at least one cover screw exposure. Cover screw exposures were defined at 1 month recall. According to the patterns of exposures, groups were categorized into group 1 (No exposure), group 2 (pin-point exposure), group 3 (less than 1/2 of cover screw), group 4 (more than 1/2 of cover screw), group 5 (total exposure). Periapical radiographs were taken in purpose of changes of marginal bone level between installation and 2 month recall. Healing abutments were secured on the exposure groups at 2 month recall. Results were as follows: 1. Marginal bone resorptions were identified whenever cover screws were exposed. 2. Group 2 and 3 were shown significantly increased bone loss more than other group (P <.05). 3. Group 4 and 5 were shown significantly increased bone loss more than group 1, however, less than other groups ( P <.05). Conclusionally, cover screw exposure may cause marginal bone resorptions, therefore, early connection of healing abutment is clinically helpful.
