배경: 경동맥 내막절제술은 심한 경동맥 협착증이 있는 환자에서 발생 가능성이 높은 뇌졸중을 예방하는 데 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으나 술 후 사망이나 뇌졸중 등의 심각한 합병증을 유발할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 경동맥 협착증에 대한 수술적 치료의 결과를 분석하여 향후 수술의 합병증을 줄이고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 2월부터 2004년 7월까지 경동맥 협착증으로 한 명의 술자에 의해 경동맥 내막절제술을 시행 받은 74명(76예)의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 남자가 64명, 여자가 10명이었고 평균연령은 63.6세($40{\sim}77$세)였다. 경동맥 내막절제술만을 시행한 경우가 63예, 내막절제술과 함께 패취를 이용하여 경동맥 성형술을 시행한 경우가 8예, 내막절제술과 함께 경동맥의 일부를 절제한 후 단단 문합한 경우가 5예였다. 수술 중 동맥내 션트는 29예에서 사용되었다. 총경동맥과 외경동맥을 겸자한 후의 평균 내경동맥 역류압은 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 있었던 25예(A군)의 경우 $23.48{\pm}10.04$ mmHg이었고, 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없었던 51예(B군)의 경우 $47.16{\pm}16.04$ mmHg이었다. 두 군 간의 내경동맥 역류압의 평균치는 통계학적으로 차이가 없었으나 (p=0.095) 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 나타난 환자의 내경동맥 역류압은 모두 40 mmHg 이하였다. 내경동맥 역류압에 관계없이 뇌파의 허혈성 변화가 없으면 동맥내 션트를 시행하지 않고 수술하였다. 합병증은 일시적인 설하신경 마비 4예, 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예, 경미한 뇌경색 1예, 봉합 부위의 혈액 누출에 의한 혈종 1예, 술 중 과도한 견인에 의해 유발된 것으로 생각되는 후두 부종에 의한 상기도 폐쇄 2예였다. 기존의 뇌경색 부위에 발생한 뇌출혈 2예 중 1예는 응급 수술을 시행한 경우로 뇌출혈이 심해 보존치료 도중 사망하였다. 결론: 경동맥 내막절제술은 수술 사망률이 낮은 비교적 안전한 수술 방법이다. 허혈성 뇌손상을 예방하기 위해 사용되는 동맥내 션트는 내경동맥 역류압보다는 뇌파의 허혈성 변화 여부에 따라 사용되어야 한다고 생각한다. 후두 부종을 예방하기 위해 수술 중 과도한 견인을 피하고 수술 직후 혈압을 엄격히 관리해야 하며, 후두 부종이 의심되면 작은 구경의 튜브를 이용한 기관 삽관이나 응급 기관절개술 등을 통하여 신속하게 기도를 확보해야 한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effect of individualized education on stroke patients' post-discharge anxiety and self-care compliance. Methods: It was a pretest-posttest design with non-equivalent groups. A total of 32 hospitalized stroke patients in experimental group were given individualized education three times at one day before, the day of and one week after discharge. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and $x^2$-test. Results: The scores of anxiety at posttest were $45.66{\pm}9.58$ in control group and $35.44{\pm}8.21$ in the experimental group. Self-compliance scores were $44.00{\pm}7.99$ in control and $61.06{\pm}7.69$ in the experimental group. These indicate that anxiety score is significantly lower (t=-4.58, p<.001), and self-compliance score is significantly higher (t=8.70, p<.001) in experimental group. Conclusion: If stroke patients receive a relevant individualized education, it could help reduce their anxiety. Also it would be useful to maintain and improve their self-care compliance after discharge.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of the secondary stroke prevention education program to inhibit the recurrence of the acute ischemic stroke patients, and to maintain and promote knowledge about stroke, self-efficacy and self-care. Method: This study was designed to take a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test with the nonequivalent control group. The experimental group consists of 20 patients and control group consists of 20 patients. The experimental group was applied the secondary stroke prevention education program. In order to verify the effects of the secondary stroke prevention education program, knowledge about stroke, self-efficacy and self-care scale were measured before the intervention and 4 weeks, 12 weeks after discharge. The tools for measuring knowledge about stroke, self-efficacy and self-care are developed by the researcher. The data was analyzed by SPSS win 10.0 program using $x^2-test$, Fisher's Exact Test, t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z, and Repeated Measures ANOVA. Result: There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge about stroke (F=4.021, p=.026), self-efficacy(F=6.096, p=.018), and self-care(F=8.026, p=.007) between the experimental and the control group after intervention. Conclusion: It is considered that the program can be used as an effective nursing intervention in clinical practice.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the following: knowledge of stroke, fear of recurrence and health behaviors among patients with ischemic stroke. Further, factors influencing health behavior will be described. Methods: Data were collected from 180 patients with ischemic stroke at a general hospital. The study instruments included items about general and health related characteristics, a Stroke Knowledge Scale, a Stroke Fear of Recurrence Scale, and a Health Behavior Scale. Hierarchical regression method was conducted to examine predictors of health behavior. Results: The mean age of the participants was $63.62{\pm}11.10years$, and 57.8% of the sample was men. The mean score for stroke knowledge (possible range=0~17) was $14.99{\pm}1.76$, the mean score for fear of recurrence (possible range=0~32) was $23.16{\pm}3.75$, and the mean score for health behavior (possible range=20~80) was $54.69{\pm}6.46$. Stroke knowledge and fear of recurrence were associated with health behavior in patients with ischemic stroke (F=9.98, p<.001, Adjusted $R^2=.43$). Conclusion: The results demonstrated that stroke knowledge and fear of recurrence impacts the health behavior among patients with ischemic stroke. Thus, nursing interventions which focused on fear of recurrence as well as enhancing stroke knowledge could help health behavior in patients with ischemic stroke.

The purpose of this study was to survey appropriateness of admission and days of care for the cerebral ischemia patients as a basis to provide an effectiveness of hospitalization. The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of cerebral ischemia patients in two hospitals from November 1997 to February 1998. Of 194 medical records reviewed, there were 2108 medical days. I t is used a 'Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol' previously developed by Gertman and Restuccia (1981) and translated by Department of Health Management, Seoul National University and Korea Institute for Health Services Management (1993), It was found that the 'Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol' had a high inter-rater reliability(k=.92), Statistical significant was tested by using the percentage, mean, and logistic regression by SAS 6.12. The results were as follows; 1. The appropriate admissions were 87.6%, days of care 63.4%, and the average length of stay $10.9{\pm}6.7$ days. 2. The reasons of inappropriate admissions were for work-up(75.0%) and conservative care (25.0%). Major reasons of inappropriate days of care were 'cases in which the medical purpose of hospitalization has been accomplish or can be addressed in a less setting(45.0%)', and 'cases in which there is a delay in performing the work-up or treatment which required patients is hospitalized (44.4%)'. 3. Appropriate days of care were higher as ageing. Appropriate days of care were higher in patients with lower accademic back ground than those of upper college graduates, and in the patients who enter a hospital via emergency room than out-patients department. Appropriate days of care were higher in the patient with MCA infarction, and lower in the patient with cerebellar infarction than the patient with lacunar infarction. Appropriate days of care were higher in attack first than attack above second, in nomortension patients than hypertensive, and lower in groups who engaged in semi-private room and public room than private room in hospital. Appropriate days of care were higher in shorter length of stay than longer length of stay. 4. Diagnosis, admission path, and appropriate days of care explained appropriate admissions. Diagnosis, appropriate admissions, hypertension explained appropriate days of care. According to the above results, author confirms the substantial amount of inappropriate hospital bed utilization. To reduce inappropriateness, it is necessary to develop some alternative services such as home care services or nursing home with which can be replaced inpatient services and to introduce policy such as case management which includes Critical Pathway for consistent management. And, it should be followed the further study for the effectiveness.

Objectives : BHT has been commonly used to treatment of brain disorders in Oriental clinic in Korea. The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of modified BHT-C extract on the transient forcal cerebral ischemia in rats. Method : We prepared ischemic rats by the transient middle cerebral artery occlution(MCAO; 90 min occlusion and 144 h reperfusion) in rat brains. BHT-C extract (100 and 200 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered every day after the onset of MCAO until 6 day. Result : BHT-C extract increased survival rate of ischemic rats compared with vehicle-treated rats. BHT-C extract treated rats (100 and 200 mg/kg) were shown a significant reduction in infarct volume compared with vehicle-treated rats. Conclusions : These results suggest that BHT-C extract may contribute to its protective effects in brain ischemia through the reduction of brain infarction.

Worldwide, stroke is the 2nd or 3rd leading cause of death and a major health problem. Recent advances in medical technology have significantly improved diagnosis and treatment strategies of ischemic stroke. The ischemic stroke subtype is an important determinant of mortality and long-term prognosis of patients. To estimate excess-risks of the ischemic stroke subtype, recently published article, Korean cohort study of stroke, was used as a source article. According to mortality analysis methodology from American academy of insurance medicine, the overall mortality ratio and excess death rate was the highest in patients with SOD, followed by those with CE. Calculated mortality ratio and excess death rate for subtype in this review are SOD, 920%/34‰; CE 267%/34‰; UI 209%/25‰; UM 190%/23‰; UN 188%/15‰; LAA 162%/15‰; LAC 117%/3‰.
