The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels, insulin resistance and components of metabolic syndrome. It was conducted on 4,428 adults over the age of 20 who had undergone health checkups at a general hospital in Gyeonggi-do from June 2018 to May 2020. As a result of the study, uric acid levels were higher in the metabolic syndrome subjects than normal subjects in both men and women. and the incidence of metabolic syndrome and its components was higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the normal group. Hyperuricemia was found to increase the risk of elevated blood pressure(p=0.006) and hypertriglyceridemia(p<0.001) in men and metabolic syndrome(p=0.012) and low HDL-cholesterol(p<0.001) in women. Thus, in both men and women, hyperuricemia was associated with metabolic syndrome and its components, and it was confirmed that it was an independent predictor of the onset of metabolic syndrome in women.

This study was attempted to investigate the possible association of osteoarthritis with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in Korean adults based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The prevalence of MetS was significantly increased in OA group in women. To investigate the association between the components for MetS and osteoarthritis, we analyzed the mean values of 5 components of MetS, waist circumference (WC), triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose in normal and OA group. In women, WC, TG, HDL, and systolic blood pressure were associated with the development of OA. Moreover, accumulation of components of MetS was significantly related to the prevalence of OA in Korean men and women. These data suggest that MetS might be a novel risk factor for OA and MetS should be taken into account in the prevention and treatment of OA for Korean adults as well.

The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between metabolic syndrome, metabolic syndrome score, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and beta-cell function (HOMA-B) in obese Korean adults. The study included 1,860 adults aged 20 years or older from the 2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome score (MSS) were positively associated with HOMA-IR (both P<0.001). HOMA-B levels of elevated blood pressure (P<0.001) and elevated fasting blood glucose group (P<0.001) were significantly lower than the normal group. However, the HOMA-B levels of abdominal obesity (P=0.003) and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol group (P=0.030) were significantly higher than the normal group. Nevertheless, metabolic syndrome (P<0.001) and MSS (P<0.001) were inversely associated with the HOMA-B levels. In conclusion, metabolic syndrome and MSS were positively associated with insulin resistance and inversely associated with beta-cell function in Korean adults with obesity.

There are two forms of cryptococcal meningitis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (CM-IRIS): paradoxical CM-IRIS and unmasking CM-IRIS. It is important to distinguish paradoxical CM-IRIS and CM relapse because mortality of CM-IRIS is higher than that of CM without IRIS, and paradoxical CM-IRIS and CM relapse requires different treatment. We report a case of paradoxical CM-IRIS that well matches the clinical findings with MR findings during three years follow-up of a HIV infected patient and new MRI finding is also introduced to help distinguish them.

This study was to evaluate the usefulness of gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) as a surrogate marker predicting metabolic syndrome. 7,155 non obese men over the age of 20 were studied as subjects. The criteria for diagnosing MetS were the National Cholesterol Education Program - Third Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP III). The risk of developing MetS according to GGT was conducted logistic regression analysis, and the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve was obtained to confirm GGT ability to predict the risk of MetS. Regardless of age and body mass index, MetS had a 7.09 times higher risk of onset in the fourth quartile than in the first quartile of GGT (p<0.001). The AUC (area under the curve) of GGT for the diagnosis of MetS was 0.715, and the cutoff value of GGT was 40.0 U/L, the sensitivity was 65.0%, and the specificity was 70.2%. Therefore, GGT is considered to be a useful diagnostic index for diagnosing MetS.

돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스의 nucleocapsid와 반응을 하는 SDOW17 단크론항체를 이용하여 중성 포르말린에 고정시킨 자연감염된 포유자돈의 폐장에서 면역조직화학법을 이용하여 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스 항원을 확인하였다. 서울대학교 수의과대학 병리학교실에 의뢰된 포유자돈들 중에서 병리조직학적으로 폐장에서 간질성 폐렴이 관찰된 포유자돈 7두를 임의로 선택하여 본 실험을 실시하였다. 간질성 폐렴의 병변으로 많은 수의 대식세포 침윤을 동반한 폐포벽 두께의 증가와 제II형 폐포세포의 비후가 관찰되었다. 검사한 7두 포유자돈중에서 6두에서 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스에 대한 항체를 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay에 의해 확인하였다. SDOW17 단크론항체를 이용한 면역조직화학염색과 간질성 폐렴의 대식세포에서 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스의 항원을 검출하였고, 항원은 (주로)대식세포의 세포질에서만 진한 갈색의 양성반응이 관찰되었다. 이상 검사결과 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스는 폐장의 간질과 폐포강에 분포되어 있는 대식세포에서 주로 증식하는 것으로 판명되었다. 본 실험에서 사용한 면역조직화학법은 돼지 생식기 호흡기 증후군 바이러스 감염여부를 바이러스 분리 또는 혈청검사 없이 진단하는데 사용할 수 있는 유용한 진단방법으로 판명되었다.

This study aims discover the relations between health promotion behaviors and metabolic syndrome in daytime workers, in order to present importance for health promotion behaviors of patients with metabolic syndrome. Based on Year 1 data of the 5th Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, emrolled were 1,034 daytime workers. This study discovered that the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome of the Korean daytime workers was significantly higher as they got older, they had less education level and smoking more, increasing number of health promotion practice behavior were decrease the metabolic syndrome prevalence. Effective appropriate lifestyle intervention were considered to management and prevention of daytime workers with the metabolic syndrome for low-cost and efficiently.

Since Keck described the tarsal tunnel syndrome in 1962, it has been one of the most frequently diagnosed of the entrapment neuropathies. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is usually of unknown origin, benign tumor may be one of the causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome. The object of the current study is to report our experience of surgical treatment about tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by neurilemmoma in 32-year-old female and by ganglion in 39-year-old male with a review of the literature.

본 연구의 목적은 실용음악 전공자와 비전공자 간의 귀벌레 증후군 유발 정도 차이와 음악 차트 순위와의 상관관계를 분석한 것이다. 이를 통해 음악 차트 순위의 이용성을 관찰하는 기초 자료를 제시하고자 했다. 본 연구에 대한 자료를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 음악 차트 순위와 귀벌레 증후군 유발 정도 간에는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 이와 같은 귀벌레 증후군을 경험하는데 있어서 선율의 반복도, 가사의 반복도, 음원을 접하는 횟수 순으로 영향이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 실용음악 전공자의 경우 비전공자보다 귀벌레 증후군을 겪는 빈도가 높지만 그 차이는 미미한 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 연구결과를 통해 귀벌레 증후군의 유발 정도와 음원 차트 순위는 연관성이 없으나, 음원의 구성 요소와 음원 자체에 노출되는 정도가 많을수록 귀벌레 증후군을 경험할 가능성이 높아지므로, 이러한 두 가지 사실을 통하여 음악의 차트 상의 순위가 높은 정도와 대중들이 그 음악을 접하게 되는 정도가 동일하지 않을 수도 있다는 시사점을 제시하였다.

Ulnar tunnel syndrome by anomalous muscles has not been reported in Korea because it is asymptomatic in most cases. The most common anomalous muscles are the accessory abductor digiti minimi and palmaris longus. This is a case report of a patient with ulnar tunnel syndrome at the wrist by the accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle. For patients with ulnar tunnel syndrome, it is important to consider that anomalous muscles can cause ulnar tunnel syndrome.
