Objectives This study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of east-west integrative rehabilitation therapy on activity of daily living and cognitive functional recovery in stroke patients by comparing with integrative rehabilitation therapy group and conventional rehabilitation therapy group in a single institution. Methods The medical records of 106 stroke patients hospitalized in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Dongguk University Bundang Oriental Hospital from January 1, 2017 to February 28, 2019 were reviewed. After screening and dividing it into conventional rehabilitation (CR) group and integrative rehabilitation (IR) group, Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI), functional independence measure (FIM), clinical dementia rating-sum of boxes (CDR-SB) were statistically analyzed. Results IR group showed significant improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.001) and there was a statistically significant difference in K-MBI and CDR-SB score changes than CR group (p<0.05). And chronic patient of IR group showed significant improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.01) and there was a statistically significant difference in CDR-SB score changes than CR group (p<0.05). In particular, the earlier the treatment initiation time, the more the improvement in function and when the treatment started within 2 years from the onset and patients took acupuncture and pulsed electromagnetic therapy, all scales significantly improved (p<0.001). Conclusions IR showed more improvement on activities of daily life and cognitive functional recovery than CR in this study.

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehend the characteristics of Korean medicine patterns in relation to varying degrees of cognitive impairment in an elderly population. Methods: The dataset included 127 elderly individuals with cognitive impairment obtained from three Korean medicine hospitals between 2018 and 2021. The participants were categorized into two groups based on Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) scores: those with questionable impairment (QI) and those with very mild dementia (VMD). A diagnostic framework for Korean medicine patterns encompassing Qi deficiency, Yin deficiency, Phlegm dampness, and Heat-fire was employed. Liver blood markers, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and the AST/ALT ratio, were also analyzed. Results: The scores of the cognitive assessment tools (MoCA-K, MMSE-DS, and K-IADL) of the QI group significantly differed from those of the VMD group. CDR-SB exhibited a positive correlation with the scores of each pattern of Qi deficiency, Yin deficiency, Phlegm dampness, and Heat-fire, whereas ALT and AST values displayed negative correlations. Binomial logistic analysis, controlling for potential confounders, such as age, education years, body mass index, the presence of chronic disease, and the presence of medication, verified that the VMD group showed higher pattern scores and lower ALT and AST values than the QI group. Conclusions: Increases in pattern scores along with decreased AST and ALT levels might be indicative of more severe cognitive impairment.

시간지원 데이타베이스 시스템은 자료의 과거 및 현재, 그리고 미래의 상태까지 관리함으로써, 사용자에게 시간에 따라 변화하는 자료에 대한 저장 및 질의 수단을 제공한다. 시간지원 데이터베이스에서의 집계 연산은 집계 연산과 질의에 시간 애트리뷰트를 고려하므로 기존의 집계 연산과는 큰 차이가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다차원 시간 집계 연산에 초점을 둔다. 다차원 시간 집계 연산은 시간 애트리뷰트 뿐만 아니라 하나 이상의 일반 애트리뷰트까지 고려한 시간 집계 연산으로 이력 데이타 웨어 하우스, 전화 기록 관리(CBR) 등에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 다차원 시간 집계 연산을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 자료 구조인 PTA-tree를 제안하고, 이를 이용한 시간 집계 처리 기법을 제안한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 PTA-tree를 이용한 기법과 기존의 SB-tree를 확장한 기법의 성능을 최악 경우 분석과 실험을 통해 비교한다.

Objectives Amyloid β positron emission tomography (Aβ PET) is widely used as a diagnostic tool in patients who have symptoms of cognitive impairment, however, this diagnostic examination is too expensive. Thus, predicting the positivity of Aβ PET before patients undergo the examination is essential. We aimed to analyze clinical predictors of patients who underwent Aβ PET retrospectively, and to develop a predicting model of Aβ PET positivity. Methods 468 patients who underwent Aβ PET with cognitive impairment were recruited and their clinical indicators were analyzed retrospectively. We specified the primary outcome as Aβ PET positivity, and included variables such as age, sex, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, education, dementia family history, Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Box (CDR-SB), hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM) and presence of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) E4 as potential predictors. We developed three final models of amyloid positivity prediction for total subjects, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia using a multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed and the area under curve (AUC) value was calculated for the ROC curve. Results Aβ PET negative patients were 49.6% (n = 232), and Aβ PET positive patients were 50.4% (n = 236). In the final model of all subjects, older age, female sex, presence of ApoE E4 and lower MMSE are associated with Aβ PET positivity. The AUC value was 0.296. In the final model of MCI subjects (n = 244), older age and presence of ApoE E4 are associated with Aβ PET positivity. The AUC value was 0.725. In the final model of AD subjects (n = 173), lower MMSE scores, the presence of ApoE E4 and history of HTN are associated with Aβ PET positivity. The AUC value was 0.681. Conclusions The cerebral amyloid positivity model, which was based on commonly available clinical indicators, can be useful for prediction of amyloid PET positivity in MCI or AD patients.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라의 65세 이상 노인 집단에 총점으로 사용할 수 있는 단축형 회상기능척도(RFS-S)를 개발하고 정상노인 집단과 경도인지장애 집단에게 RFS-S를 시행하여 RFS-S의 내적신뢰도 및 준거타당도 검증과 인구학적 특성이 회상기능에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상자는 65세 이상 정상대조군 60명, 경도인지자애군 58명으로 두 집단 간 일반적 특성은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 문항 간 내적신뢰도는 0.63이었고, RFS-S와 이야기회상검사, 치매임상평가척도 박스총점과의 수렴타당도는 각 0.20(p<.05), -0.25(p<.001)로 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. ROC 곡선 아래의 면적을 분석한 준거타당도 결과 0.68(p<.001)로 덜 정확한(less accurate) 검사로 최적 절단점은 17점이었고 이에 따른 민감도는 0.59, 특이도는 0.72였다. 인구학적 변인에 따른 회상기능은 모두 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. RFS-S는 정상과 경도인지장애 차이를 판별하는 신뢰도와 타당도가 높은 진단 보조 도구이자 회상치료의 효과를 평가하는 유용한 도구임을 나타낸다.
