  • Gas-sensor array technology, which has been much utilized in the field of food technology by the name of 'electronic nose' is drawing attention in diagnosing lung cancer based on the analysis of the exhaled human breath. Much understanding has been accomplished about the composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the human exhaled breath, in spite of some variations depending on research groups due mainly to lack of the standardization of the sensing procedures. Since VOCs may be produced during the process of cellular metabolism, difference in the cellular metabolism between healthy cells and lung cancer cells are expected to be reflected on the composition variation of the exhaled VOCs. Several studies have attempted to apply the gas-sensor array technology to lung cancer analysis using many different types of sensors including metal oxide, carbon black-polymer composite, surface acoustic wave, and gold nanoparticles. In this mini-review VOC as biomarkers, sensor array technology and application of the array technology for the diagnosis of cancer disease have been described.

  • Based on the results of studies on acetone excretion in diabetic patients, a one - chip sensors array was fabricated by combining acetone-selective sensor materials and volatile-organic-compound sensitive sensor materials. An electonic-nose was implemented using a sensor array and confirmed selectivity for five gases. In this system, the excretion of diabetic patients and controls was sampled with solid phase microextraction fiber and transferred to the sensor array. Although the control and diabetic patients were distinct, several samples failed. In the control group, the results of blood tests were normal, but patients were highly obese. In addition, the gas chromatography mass spectrometry results for the subjects revealed chemicals that are external factors.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 원주시 W고등학교 3학년 학생의 주관적 구강관리인식과 관련된 융복합적 관련 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 설문지 총 218부를 분석한 결과 주관적 구강관리인식도는 $3.59{\pm}0.44$ 이었고, 일반적 특성 중 종교, 패스트푸드 섭취횟수, 탄산음료 섭취횟수가 주관적 구강관리인식도와 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 입 냄새 제거를 위해 칫솔질을 한다와 타인에 대한 입냄새 인지정도가 주관적 구강관리인식과 관련성이 높았으며, 자신의 입 냄새에 대한 불편감을 느끼지 못하는 경우 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 그러므로 탄산음료나 패스트푸드와 같은 정크 푸드 섭취를 줄이고 칫솔질 횟수를 증가시켜 주관적 구강관리인식도를 높여줘야 할 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고등학생들에게도 구취관리에 대한 올바른 구강건강관리방법을 제시해주고 향후 연구에서도 구취 예방법에 대해서 연구하여야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study was to conduct a biomechanical analysis of a one-legged jump in a traditional Korean dance (Wae Bal Ddwigi) according to breathing method. Method : Participants for this study were 10 dancers with experience for at least 10 years in traditional Korean dance. Independent variables for this test were two different types of breathing methods. Dependent variables were ground reaction force and lower extremity kinematic variables. The jumping movement was divided into three separate stages, take off, flight, and landing. The subjects were asked a questionnaire regarding the degree of impact force and stability of landing posture after the experiment. The Kistler Force Plate (9281B, Switzerland) was used to measure ground reaction force. A digital camera was used to look into angles of each joint of the lower part of body. SPSS was used for statistical analysis via the dependent t-test(p<.05). Results : There were significant differences in jumping according to breathing method. The inhalation & exhalation method yielded significantly longer flight times combined with greater ground reaction force. The breath-holding method required more core flexion during landing, increasing movement at the hips and shoulders. Conclusion : Consequently, there was more flexion at the knee to compensate for this movement. As a result, landing time was significantly higher for breath-holding.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chewing ability, oral-health related quality of life and factors in periodontal disease patients. Methods : Subjects were 111 patients having peridontal disease in 10 dental clinics in Busan and Gyeongsangnamdo. Questionnaire survey was carried out from July to August 2010. Questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics, oral health factors, chewing ability and quality of life. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SAS(Ver 9.2) set at p<0.05. Results : Chewing ability was $44.85{\pm}8.8$, and their quality of life was $41.7{\pm}8.8$. Low level of quality of life was closely related to those factors as education, missing of more than 5 posterior teeth, certain subjective periodontal symptoms including swollen gums, sore gums, drifting gums, bad breath and toothache. The effective factors to the quality of life was chewing ability, bad breath and toothache. Conclusions : Chewing ability and quality of life were closely related each other. To enhance the quality of life, chewing ability should be improved. Proper treatment and effective method of management should also be properly considered to prevent the subjective periodontal symptoms and to minimize tooth loss.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between demographic characteristics, health factors, oral health factors and subjective body shape perception of adolescents in order to provide basic data for adolescents health management. Methods: This study was analyzed using Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey in 2015, where 68,043 adolescents in total participated. Data were analyzed by SPSS Ver. 21.0. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships among health factors and oral health factors related to subjective body shape perception. Results: The analysis of the factors influencing the body shape perception of male adolescents showed that they tend to be low in school performance, low in family economic level, and high school students. The worse they perceive their subjective health to be, the more they feel stress, and the less frequently they brush their teeth per day. They had bad breath. The analysis of the factors influencing the body shape perception of female adolescents showed that they tend to be low in school performance, low in family economic level, and high school students. The worse they feel their subjective health is, the more they feel unhappy, and stressful, and the less frequently they brush their teeth per day. They feel pain during chewing, and have bad breath. Conclusions: In conclusion, it is necessary to consider educational intervention in adolescent life that will make them have proper perception of their body shape for proper health management of it. To make the intervention effective, we need to consider various factors such as health factors and oral health factors.

  • 목 적 : Deep inspiration breath-hold(DIBH) 기법을 이용한 좌측 유방암의 방사선치료 중 환자의 호흡과 심장 위치의 변화에 대한 분석을 통해 DIBH 기법의 치료 재현성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 유방보존수술 후 DIBH 기법을 적용한 좌측 유방암 환자 3명을 대상으로 하였다. 전산화치료계획시스템(Eclipse version 10.0, Varian, USA)을 이용하여 자유호흡상태 Computed Tomography(CT)와 DIBH CT에서 동일한 전산화치료계획을 수립하여 심장의 체적과 선량을 비교하였고, RPM (Real-time Position Management) Respiratory Gating System (version 1.7.5, Varian, USA)의 데이터를 이용하여 환자의 호흡을 분석하였다. 치료 중 Electronic portal imaging device(EPID)를 이용한 Cine Acquisition 방법으로 영상을 획득하여 Varian 사의 Offline Review (ARIA 10, Varian, USA)에서 심장의 장축 거리를 측정하였다. 조사야 내 심장의 포함 정도를 비교 평가하기 위하여 동일한 3개(A, B, C)의 지점에서 길이 측정을 진행하였다. 결 과 : 자유호흡상태와 DIBH를 적용한 두 가지 전산화치료계획에서 심장평균선량 (6.82 vs 1.91 Gy), 심장의 V30 (68.57 vs $8.26cm^3$), V20(76.43 vs $11.34cm^3$)의 차이를 확인 할 수 있었다. 각 환자의 치료 중 DIBH 구간에서 호흡 진폭에 대한 표준편차의 평균값은 각각 ${\pm}0.07cm$, ${\pm}0.04cm$, ${\pm}0.13cm$로 분석되었다. 치료 중 획득한 영상에서 조사야 내에 포함되는 심장의 길이를 측정한 후 전산화치료계획에서의 심장의 길이와 비교한 결과 최대값은 0.32 cm, 최소값은 0.00 cm로 확인 되었다. 결 론 : 좌측 유방암 환자 치료 시 DIBH를 적용할 경우 심장에 들어가는 선량을 줄이기 위한 전산화치료계획을 수립하는데 용이할 뿐만 아니라, 실제 치료 중에도 심장의 위치에 대한 정확한 재현성과 심장 선량을 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 EPID의 Cine acquisition 방법은 치료 선량 외에 추가적인 선량 없이 DIBH의 재현성 평가를 위한 매우 효과적인 방법이라고 생각된다.

  • Purpose : To identify general characteristics of school personnel with recent fatigue which was the most frequent symptom among subjective symptoms and to explore fatigue-related factors by evaluating physical and perceived health status, life style, and symptoms through data mining techniques. Methods : We collected a data of the 1,147(male 545, female 602) who were elementary, middle, or high school personnel, answered a questionnaire, and received physical examination in Seoul School Health Center from September to November in 2000. And we investigated the differences between fatigue group and non-fatigue group for demographic characteristics, physical health status, perceived health status, symptoms, and laboratory values by frequency, chi-square test, t-test, or simple logistic regression analysis by SAS package 8.1, and then selected significant variables as input variables of a decision tree analysis of CART model by SAS E-miner. Results : In general characteristics, the fatigue consisted of 41.1%(male 35.2%, female 46.4%) among 1,147 school personnel. In classical statistics, factors related with fatigue were female, lower means of systolic and diastolic pressure, young age, personnel in middle school, irregular eating habit, no exercise a week or less than 30minutes exercise a day, perception of unhealthy status, and subjective symptoms including short of breath at exercise. In simple logistic regression to examine the relationship between selected independent variables and fatigue as a dependent variable, the odds ratio of gender (female vs male) was 1.58 times, and young age ( 20s vs 60s) 20.67 times, and middle vs high school personnel 1.86 times. However, we mined combined several characteristics by SAS-E miner. In CART model, if health perception was healthy, and age was >= 37.5 years, the proportion of the fatigue was only 19.3%. but if health perception was not healthy and symptom was severe 'short of breath' during exercise and age was < 53.5 years, and BMI was >= 22.69, the proportion of the fatigue was up to 84.8%. Conclusions : The fatigue consisted of 41.1%(male 35.2%, female 46.4%). In classical statistics, fatigue-related factors among school personnel were young age, female gender, perceived unhealthy status, subjective physical symptoms, poor life-style, and lower blood pressure rather than only physical health status. However, in data mining, if health perception was healthy and age was >= 37.5 years, the proportion of the fatigue was only 19.3%. but if health perception was not healthy and symptom was severe 'short of breath' during exercise and age was < 53.5 years, and BMI was >= 22.69, the proportion of the fatigue was up to 84.8%.
