  • Pneumonia is one of the important diseases in commercial pig. In order to delineate the relationships with pneumonia and productions traits, five different economic traits including carcass weight(CW), backfat thickness(BF), meat quality(MQ), carcass characteristics(CC) and pork belly thickness(PB) were measured in 6,362 commercial pigs. Significant differences were observed in all the traits with pneumonia(P<0.01). Carcass weight and backfat thickness decreased significantly as the symptom of pneumonia was severed (P<0.01). Also, when the pneumonia was severed, the carcass characteristics and meat quality became worse compared with normal unaffected animals(P<0.01). In case of pork belly thickness, the significant decrease was observed in pneumonia infected animals compared with normal animals(P<0.01). Based on this study, the pneumonia infection affects most of the important economic traits in pigs and it is ultimately needed to pay more attention to prevent this disease.

  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate 1) the prevalence of depressive symptoms, 2) the severity of depressive symptoms, 3) the correlation of depressive symptoms with clinical variables, and 4) factors that contribute to depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: One hundred eighteen patients with Parkinson's disease referred from the Parkinson's Disease Clinic of Dong-A University Hospital, Busan, Korea, completed a self-administered questionnaire package, which included basic demographic data, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Parkinson's disease quality of life questionnaire, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revision(SCL-90-R), and the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. In addition, a structured interview and a complete neurological examination, including the Hoehn and Yahr stage, the motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(some selected scales of UPDRS part III), the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living scale(ADL), and the Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination were performed. Results: 1) Based on BDI score, subjects were divided into four groups:severely(40.7%), moderately(13.6%) and mildly(12.7%) depressive and non-depressive(33.1%). 2) The severity of depressive symptom in Parkinson's disease was positively correlated with Hoehn and Yahr(H & Y) stage(r=0.34, p<0.0001), the severity of motor symptom(r=0.35, p<0.0001), and trait anxiety inventory(r=0.33, p<0.001). On the other hand, the severity of depressive symptom was negatively correlated with educational level(r=-0.34, p<0.001), ADL(r=-0.37, p<0.0001) and Parkinson's disease quality of life (PDQL)(r=-0.69, p<0.0001). Among several clinical variables, the PDQL was the most influential factor predicting whether the depressive symptom was present or not. Conclusion: This study suggests that depressive symptom is very prevalent among patients with Parkinson's disease. Data from this study indicate that medical staffs who take care of patients with Parkinson's disease should pay attention to finding and treating depressive symptom among their patients. With appropriate psychiatric intervention, patient's depressive symptom can be minimized or alleviated and thus, the quality of life in these patients is likely enhanced.

  • The study aims to evaluate job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life according to musculoskeletal symptoms of the ordinary white-collar worker. The subjects of the study were 83 workers who were working D Health Center and Dgu office of Gwangju Metropolitan City and they were voluntarily interviewed with a use of organized questionnaire. Except the responses from three subjects whose responses were insincere of 102 ones were decided for the final analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in all job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life according to musculoskeletal symptoms. Depression, self-efficacy, job stress were significantly correlated; however, health related to quality of life was not. Therefore, as the results indicate that job stress, self-efficacy, depression and health-related quality of life can be affected by musculoskeletal pain for office workers, there is a need for the development of programs focused on the prevention of musculoskeletal discomfort.

  • 이상에서 고찰한 위식도역류의 병태를 간략히 요약하면 다음과 같다. 위액에는 염산, 펩신, 담즙산과 췌효소등을 포함하고 있어 역류된 위액은 상부 기관식도관에 자극을 주거나 손상을 줄 수 있으며 개개인의 점막 상피의 저항도와 적절한 타액의 분비는 위액에 의한 손상의 정도를 결정하는 중요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 위식도역류로 인한 많은 증상이나 소견은 두가지의 기전으로 나타나서 첫째, 역류된 위액이 직접 조직에 영향을 주거나 둘째, 간접적으로 식도 하부에 분포된 미주신경에 의한 연관자극에 의해 일어나는데 위식도역류의 증상 중 두부, 경부, 심장 및 폐장의 증상은 이들 장기에 미주신경의 일부가 같이 분포하여 일어나는 간접적인 기전이다. 하부식도괄약근(lower esophageal sphincter)의 기능은 역류를 막는 가장 중요한 요소로 알려져 있어 간헐적으로 하부식도 괄약근의 압력이 떨어지면 역류가 일어나게 된다. 정상적인 식도의 연동운동은 식도에 역류된 위내용물을 위로 제거되는데 중요하며 위식도역류 환자에서 흔히 연동운동이 저하되거나 비정상적인 연동운동을 관찰할 수 있다. 또한 위내용물이 소장으로 비워지는 시간이 연장되어 위내용물이 위내에 축적되는 것도 위식도역류의 원인의 하나로 생각된다. 이러한 위식도역류의 병태를 연구하는 것은 이 질환의 이해에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

  • 선천성 후두열은 매우 드문 선천성 기형으로 신생아에게 심각한 호흡곤란 및 수유장애를 초래할 수 있다. 해부학적 결손정도와 관련된 기형에 따라 다양한 증상이 나타난다. 가장 흔한 특징적 증상으로는 흡기시 천명, 간헐적으로 나타나는 수유시 호홉곤란을 들 수 있다. 이 증상들은 후두연화증, 성대마비, 후비공폐색 둥과 같은 다른 선천성 기형에서도 나타나기 때문에 미리 의심하지 못하면 진단이 어렵다. 따라서 진단을 위해서는 세심한 주의와 정확한 내시경 검사가 필요하다. 저자들은 선천성 후두열 2례를 경험하였다. 첫 증례는 제 II형이었고 두번째는 III형이었으며, 두 증례 모두 전방 후두열 접근법으로 치료하였다. 제 III형 환아는 술전 흡기시 천명을 동반한 호흡곤란과 여러번의 흡인성 폐렴을 겪었으며 술후 캐놀라발거는 가능하였으나 경구를 통한 수유시 흡인을 동반하여 현재까지 위루술을 통해 음식을 섭취하고 있는 상태이다. 저자들은 최근 경험한 선천성 후두열 2례를 video presentation과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

  • The relationship between lead related subject symptoms and lead exposure indices was studied in 435 male lead workers in thirteen lead using industries. 212 male office workers who were not exposed to lead occupationally were also studied as a control group. Fourteen lead related symptoms were selected. They were further subdivied into 4 sub-symptom groups such as 1) gastrointestinal, 2) neuromuscular and joint 3) constitutional, and 4) psychological symptoms. Symptom questionnaires were provided to the workers and filled up by themselves and reconfirmed by interviewer(doctor). The test used fer the evaluation of lead exposure were blood lead(PbB), zinc protoporphyrin in whole blood(ZPP), hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit (Hct), delta-aminolevulinic acid in urine(DALA). The results obtained were as follows; 1. The higher prevalence rate in the sub-group of neuromuscular and joint symptoms was observed in occupationally lead exposed subjects than non-exposed subjects. Among the sub-groups, the most frequent symptom was 'numbness of finger, hands or feet', and the prevalence of the symptom of 'arthralgia', 'weakness of fingers, hands or feet' and 'myalgia' were higher in order. 2. While the symptom which showed the biggest difference of prevalence rate among the 14 symptoms between exposed and non-exposed subjects was 'numbness of fingers, hands or feet', the symptom which showed the highest prevalence rate was 'feeling tired generally' in exposed and non-exposed subjects, but no statistical difference of symptom prevalence were observed. 3. In total study population, PbB and ZPP had dose-response relationship with 4 symtoms of neuromuscular and joint symptoms ('numbness of finger, hands or feet', 'arthralgia', 'weakness of fingers, hands or feet' and 'myalgia') and one symptom of gastrointestinal group('intermittent pains in lower abdomen'). 4. In lead exposed workers, only neuromuscular and joint symptoms group showed dose-response relationship with PbB and ZPP, 5. In lead exposed workers, the prevalance rate of overall symptoms of lead workers with age below 39 years was higher than that of lead workers with age above 40. While neuromuscular and joint symptoms group had a dose-response relationship with PbB in former group, it had a dose-response relationship with ZPP in latter group. 6. Age adjusted odds ratios of symptoms of non-exposed with exposed and odds ratios of low exposed with high exposed workers showed the dose-response relationship of lead exposure with neuromuscular and joint symptoms group('numbness of fingers, hands or feet', 'arthralgia', 'weakness of fingers, hands or feet' and 'myalgia') and gastrointestinal symptoms group('intermittent pains in lower abdoman').

  • The purpose of this study was to assess treatment-seeking behavior and to identify the factors that affect treatment-seeking behavior of men having lower urinary tract symptoms. One hundred thirty-two men working at public institutions or visiting the public institutions were included for this study. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey done from October to November, 2016. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The treatment-seeking behavior was found only in 55.6% (n=79) with lower urinary tract symptoms. The factors that affect treatment-seeking behavior in men with lower urinary tract symptoms significantly were economic status, subjective health status, autonomy, and competence. Results of this study provided fundamental data for developing the program to promote treatment-seeking behavior in men with lower urinary tract symptoms.
