소화가 잘 안된다, 머리가 아프다, 자꾸 마른다 등등 현대인들은 사소함(?) 신체적 고통을 흔히 호소한다. 그리고는 소화제, 두통약, 피로회복제등을 수시로 입안으로 털어넣곤 한다. 그러면서도 이러한 증상을 병으로 생각하는 사람은 없다. 그저 일시적인 현상으로만 치부해 버리고 고통과 약의 사이를 왕래한다. 물론, 몸에 좋다는 모든 것을 먹어도 나이들어 몸이 말을 듣지 않는 것은 어쩔 수 없다하더라도 사소하다고 생각하는 증상들이 경우에 따라서는 엄청난 병의 시작일 수도 있다는 것을 주위에서 수없이 경험하는 우리가 아닌가. 도대체, 소화불량ㆍ노화현상ㆍ비만ㆍ두통 이런 증상들은 어디까지가 병이고, 어디까지가 일시적인 것일까.

Purpose: According to the statistics announced by the Ministry of Unification, the number of North Korean refugees living in South Korea has increased by 200 on average monthly in 2010. The number of refugees increased only by 300 annually until 2000. The total number of refugees as of February 2012 was 20,956. This study aims to investigate the psychobiology of the North Korean refugees who consulted psychiatric clinics among those living daily life in South Korea. Methods: The subjects of this study were 85 North Korean refugees that consulted psychiatric clinics from January 1, 2005 to July 2011. This study obtained demographic and psychiatric information in a retrospective approach. Results: Among the 85 North Korean refugees, 75 (88.2%) were females and their average age was 48 years of age. A total of 16 (18.8%) were admitted to a clinic and among the inpatients, 4 were admitted twice and two were admitted three times. As for the claimed symptoms of outpatients, insomnia was shown in 47 (55.3%) patients, headaches in 37 (43.5%), anxiety in 20 (23.5%), depression in 19 (22.4%), etc. The major symptoms represented by inpatients were insomnia in 14 (87.5%) patients, depression in 12 (75%), and headaches in 8 (50%), etc. Conclusion: The most frequent psychiatric symptoms of North Korean refugees living in South Korea were insomnia and headaches. It suggests that when performing psychiatric diagnosis and treatment of North Korean refugees, we have to take into consideration the fact that they claimed the physical symptoms more than the emotional ones. Also, from the aspect that most symptoms of North Korean refugees were insomnia, more profound research on sleep is required in the future.

Background : Joint symptoms frequently occur in the course of antituberculous chemotherapy and tend to be ignored and overlooked, but in some cases, they are often very troublesome in obstructing ordinary life. Joint symptoms that develop during antituberculous chemotherapy need to be understood, but there are few materials describing them systematically. Method : This study enrolled 33 patients with tuberculosis treated with first line antituberculous agents for more than 6months. In the course of treatment, joint symptoms not associated with specific cause, such as preexisting joint disease or trauma, were investigated and compared with thæe of the asymptomatic group. We confirmed the incidence of joint symptoms and factors associated with them. Results : Nineteen of 33 patients (58%) had joint symptoms. Joint symptoms developed 1.9$\pm$1.4 months after the beginning of chemotherapy and lasted for 3.6$\pm$2.5months. In 18 of 19 symptomatic patients, multiple joints were involved: shoulder (10 patients, 53%), knee (10, 53%), finger (6, 32 %). Joint symptoms were expressed as pain (19 patiens, 100%), stiffness (7, 37%) and/or swelling (3, 16%). Fourteen patients (74%) took analgesics to relieve their symptoms and in 2 patients, antituberculous agents were discontinued because of the severity of their symptoms. The symptoms seem to be caused by agents other than pyrazinamide, but it was very difficult to identify the definite causative agent. In age, sex, underlying disease and serum uric acid level, no significant differences were noted between the two groups. Conclusions : Although joint symptoms are common during antituberculous chemotherapy, their development is difficult to predict. Because some joint symptoms can become very bothersome, the physician should pay close attention to these symptoms.

이 논문은 발목에 만성적인 불안정성을 가진 환자의 발목을 재사용하는 것을 방지하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 발목의 안쪽 굽힙과 바깥쪽 굽힘의 각도가 측정된다. 각도가 규정 된 범위 내에 있고 환자가 통증을 호소하지 않으면 정상으로 간주한다. 그러나 각도가 규정 된 범위를 벗어나서 환자가 통증을 호소하는 경우 이상이 있는 것으로 간주되어 이상 증상에 대한 치료가 필요할 것이다.

거듭 두통을 호소하는 아이에게 "어린애가 무슨 머리가 아프냐?"며 꾀병 부리지 말라는 얼굴을 해서는 안 된다. 아이들의 두통은 그렇게 가벼이 여길 증상이 아니다. 소아 두통은 성인의 두통과 다르며 방치할 경우 아이의 성장지연과 학습장애, 성격변화를 초래할 수 있다.

최근에 한국에서 비닐 하우스에서 일하는 농부가 증가하며, 거기에 비례하여 많은 질병을 호소하고 있다. 그래서 저자는 비닐 하우스에서 일하는 150명의 농부에 대하여 임상 역학적 연구를 실시하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) "비닐 하우스"내에는 작업시간은 대부분의 농민이 1회에 2-4시간이며 1일 2회 이상 출입하고 있다. 2) "비닐 하우스" 내부의 온도는 섭씨 $32^{\circ}$이상이며, 습도는 90%이상이었다. 3) "비닐 하우스"의 크기는 높이가 180cm이며, 넓이가 400cm인 반원형이다. 4) "하우스"내부에서의 농약 살포는 월 1회(7%), 2회(13%), 3회(27%), 4회 (30%), 그이상(15%)였다. 5) 농약 살포시 "마스크"를 착용하지 않는 농민이 71%이며, 농약을 살포한 후 1시간이내에 "비닐 하우스"내에 후입하는 농민은 39% 였다. 6) "하우스" 재배 농민들이 호소하는 주요 증상은 발한(98%), 요통(92%), 현기증(86%), 두통(83%), 근육통(81%), 호흡곤란(78%), 구토(44%)이며, 이러한 증상들은 "비닐 하우스"내에서 작업하신 시간에 비례하여 증가하였다. 7) 이러한 증상들에 대한 농민들의 처지방법은 집에서 휴식 및 안정을 취한다. 약을 사먹는다(34%), 계속 작업을 한다(27%), 의사를 찾아간다(1%) 이었다. 이상과 같은 결과로 볼때 "비닐 하우스"병의 주요원인은 "비닐 하우스" 내부가 고온, 다습한 환경이며, 비닐 하우스 "내부에서 농약 살포와 협소한 작업환경 때문이라는 것을 알게 되었다.
