Dietary habits are known to be closely related not only to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but also to self-rated health (SRH). Consequently, there is a highly important lifestyle component in maintaining a healthy life. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between diverse dietary habits based on the Sasang constitutions (SC) and SRH. The data were collected from 2,984 participants who met the constitution pharmacology criteria and whose SC were clinically confirmed by SC professionals. Dietary habits were observed by assessing the regularity of diet, meal volume, and meal speed; single-answer questions were used for SRH. Fisher's exact/chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between dietary habits depending on constitutional type and SRH. In association with constitutional SRH, the Taeum type is related to the amount of meal, the Soeum and Soyang types are related to the regularity of meal and meal volume. In the Taeum type, there was a significantly higher risk of lower SRH when meal volumes were irregular less than previous amounts. Irregular diet, as well as increased or decreased meal volume, negatively correlated with SRH in the Soeum type; in the Soyang type, irregular diet and decreased or irregular meal volume negatively affected SRH. This showed the presence of the different effects of dietary habits on health depending on constitution and also confirmed the association of the regularity of diet and meal volume based on constitution and the frequency of bad dietary habits with SRH. We suggest that personalized healthcare with adequate dietary improvement considering constitution is needed for health management or improvement.

Forty three patients with disease of the aorta were admitted in this department during the period from beginning of 1956 to the end of 1976. They consisted of eighteen cases of aortic aneurysms, eight cases of Takayasu's arteritis, eight Leriche syndromes, six dissecting aneurysms, two aortic coarctations and one case of vascular ring. Of eighteen aortic aneurysms, twelve were operated resulting in eight survivors. Three of four mortalities were in shock preoperatively because of aneurysmal rupture. Among six dissecting aortic aneurysms, four were type III and two were type I according to DeBakey's classification. For the purpose of relief of acute arterial insufficiency in the lower extremities, a re-entry operation grafting a Y-shaped dacron vessel between abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries was performed. The patient regained consciousness soon after the operation and was well until postoperative second day, when severe convulsion developed abruptly and died. And in a chronic case of type III dissecting aneurysm, a dacron graft bypass shunt between ascending aorta and lower descending thoracic aorta with resection of the aneurysm was performed, but acute severe aortic insufficiency developed soon after the operation and fell into intractable heart failure resulting in death. The cause of the aortic insufficiency seems to be retrograde dissection from the proximal anastomosis site in the ascending aorta. Three cases were treated medically with Wheat's regimen. Two of them survived with relief of symptoms. Eight patients of Takayasu's arteritis were all females and aged between twenty and forty-four averaging twenty nine. Bypass graft operation between aortic arch and carotid arteries using Y-shaped nylon prostheses were performed in three patients resulting in death in two cases postoperatively due to severe cerebral arterial insufficiency during the procedure. All the patients with Leriche syndrome were males and over forty. In two cases, bypass graft with Y-shaped dacron vessel between terminal aorta and common iliac or femoral arteries were performed with good result. Thromboembolectomy or thromboendarterectomy was employed in three patients, of whom one was aggravated in sexual problem postoperatively. One out of two aortic coarctations and a vascular ring were treated surgically with excellent results.

We have experienced 61 cases of Clinically diagnosed tuberculous peripleural abscess which was surgically treated at St. Mary's Hospital of Catholic Medical College from Mar. 1963 to Feb. 1974. Out of them, 52 cases of pathologically confirmed tuberculous peripleural abscess were reviewed and its pathogenesis, treatment and so called "rib caries" were discussed. In the past, they have been described as a variety of the names, such as rib caries, cold abscess of the chest wall, pericostal abscess, lymphadenitis tuberculosa of the chest wall, chronic draining sinuses of the chest wall and other descriptive terms. Although it has been said that the tuberculous abscess on the chest wall developed as a secondary disease from so called "rib caries" but now it has been clear that this abscess occurred not from tuberculosis of the rib but from tuberculous lesion developed between end-othoracic fascia and parietal pleura usually following pulmonary tuberculosis and/or tuberculous pleurisy and the involvement of rib or ribs are secondary one from peripleural abscess, as we confirmed. Therefore we advocate that the nomination, rib caries, should not be used unless there is a primary tuberculous lesion on ribs. The results were as follows: 1. The highest age group of tuberculous peripleural abscess was ranged from the first to third decade (78%) 2. The location of tuberculous peripleural abscess on the chest wall were as follows, 31 cases on the anterior, 19 cases on lateral and 2 cases on the posterior. 3. On x-ray examination, abnormal findings including parenchymal tuberculous lesion and pleural changes were seen is 38 cases. 4. There was no destructive change of periosteum and rib in 23 cases of tuberculous peripleural abseess during operation. However the periosteal denudation and/or rib destruction were found in 29 cases. 5. The all cases of tuberculous peri pleural abscess developed from between endothoraclc fascia and parietal pleura, as we confirmed. With antituberculous therapy, operation should be radical by wide incision on the lesion including thorough curettage with proper drainage of Iiquified caseating materials and appropriate rib resection, if necessary.tion, if necessary.

원발성 폐동맥 육종은 매우 드문 질환이다. 임상증상과 방사선학적 소견이 폐동맥 색전증과 유사하기 때문에 진단 시 폐동맥 색전증으로 오진되는 예가 빈번하고, 본 질환의 빠른 진행속도로 인하여, 사망 후 부검을 통해 확인되는 예도 있다. 따라서 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단된 환자가 혈전의 원발병소가 불분명하면서 항응고제에 반응하지 않는다면, 원발성 폐동맥 육종을 의심해 보아야 한다. 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단받은 57세 남자 환자가 5개월간의 항응고제 치료 후에도 우측폐의 종괴모양 병변이 증가하고 주폐동맥 색전증의 크기가 증가되어 수술적인 치료과정에서 폐동맥 내막육종(Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma)으로 확인되었다. 수술전 혈전으로 의심되었던 저음영의 종괴는 동결조직검사 상 폐동맥 육종으로 의심되었으며, 심낭에 침윤이 있었다. 그 병변과 독립적으로 우폐동맥과 폐실질에서도 혈관육종이 발견되었으며, 인공심폐기하에서 주폐동맥의 완전 절제술 시행 후 Gore-tex graft 치환술과 우측 전폐절제술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 2차례의 항암치료를 시행한 후에 퇴원하였다.

Background: Pectus excavatum (PE) is the most common chest wall deformity. The Nuss Questionnaire modified for Adults (NQmA) is a disease-specific health-related quality of life assessment tool for patients with pectus deformities. The aim of this study is to adapt the NQmA into Turkish. Methods: Two hundred and sixty-five patients with PE were participated, with an age range of 14 to 29 years. All patients underwent a physical examination and had not undergone corrective surgery. The Turkish version of the NQmA was completed by patients and their parents. Results: The content validity index based on expert opinions was 91% for the patient questionnaire and 96% for the parent questionnaire. The Cronbach's alpha value for the NQmA was found to be 0.805 for the patient questionnaire and 0.800 for the parent questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess construct validity. Two factors explained 51.1% of the total variance in the patient questionnaire (psychosocial: 31.145%, Cronbach's alpha=0.818; physical: 19.955%, Cronbach's alpha=0.862). In the parent questionnaire, two factors explained 51.422% of the total variance (psychosocial: 26.097%, Cronbach's alpha=0.743; physical: 25.325%, Cronbach's alpha=0.827). Construct validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the NQmA was found to be valid and reliable for the assessment of quality of life in patients with PE.

As the obesity has been known to be related with the hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, cerebral apoplexy, fatty liver, and other chronic diseases, recent researches have focused on the functional food materials and their anti-obesity activities. This study was performed to study the effects of vanilloid family capsaicin, major pungent ingredient of hot chillies and peppers, on anti-obesity activities. ICR male mice were fed one of the pellet diet, basal diet, and high fat diet with capsaicin (45 $\mu\textrm{g}$/day) solution for 5 days. Mice in the corresponding control groups were given water for 5 days. In results, capsaicin reduced body weights in any diet groups. Percent weight and cell size of the abdominal white adipose tissue in mice on the high fat diet with capcaicin were significantly lower compared with those in mice on the high fat diet with water. However, percent brown adipose tissue weight per body weight in mice on the high fat diet was not affected by capsaicin. Capsaicin reduced the levels of s-triglyceride and s-total cholesterol in the pellet diet or high fat diet groups. There was no difference in the s-protein levels between the capsaicin group and the control water group. These data indicate that 1) orally administered capsaicin has a reducing effect on the blood triglyceride and total cholesterol levels, and 2) capsaicin has lowering effects on the body weight, percent weight and cell size of the abdominal white adipose tissue.

배경: 승모판막 질환에 동반된 심방세동의 경우 그 기간이 길면 승모판막 질환을 수술하여도 동성 율동으로 전환될 가능성이 매우 적다. 본 연구는 승모판막 질환에 동반된 심방세동에 대한 변형 Maze 수술후 장기 결과와 심방세도의 재발에 미치는 요인을 조사 하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 1996년까지 승모판막 질환과 동반된 심방세동으로 외과적 요법을 시행받은 35명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 심방세동의 평균 유병기간은 평균 7.7$\pm$4.5년이었고 수술은 승모판막 대치술 34례(재수술 3례)와 승모판막 성형술 1례를 시행하였고 승모판 질환 수술 외에 동반 수술로는 삼첨판륜 성형술 4례, 삼첨판막 대치술 3례 였다. 심 방세동에 대한 수술은 좌측 폐정맥 부위는 격리하지 않는 변형 Maze 수술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 동성 율동으로 회복여부, 심방세동의 재발에 미치는 요인과 장기 결과를 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 직후 2례를 제외한 33례(93.9%)에서 동성율동으로 돌아왔으나 수술 후 퇴원 전에 12례에서 심방세동이 재발되었다. 수술환자중 1례에서 수술 후 3일에 동성 정지에 따른 심정지가 발생하여 소생되었으나 뇌손상으로 수술 후 15일에 사망하였다. 심방세동이 재발된 경우 수술 후 약 2개월에서 6개월 사이에 항부정맥 약물(mquinidine)과 전기적 제세동으로 치료하여 12례중 10례에서 동성 율동으로 돌아온 환자는 항부정맥 약물을 모두 중단하 였으며, 수술 후 3년에서 9년(평균 71.1$\pm$17.5개월) 추적 관찰 중 9례에서 심방세동이 재발되어 장기간 동성 율동이 유지된 환자는 34명중 25명으로 73.5%이었다. 승모판 질환이 있던 환자에서 수술 후 심방세동의 재발에 미치는 요인들을 조사한 결과 수술전 심방세동의 기간(동성율동 유지군 : 재발군=6.3년 : 10.3년, P=0.008)과 수술 전 단순 흉부 X선상 심흉비율(0.58 : 0.72, p=0.009)은 통계학적으로 유의하게 나타났으나 심초음파 검사상 좌심방의 직경(57.2mm : 77.4mm, p=0.106)은 통계학적 유의성이 없었다. 결론: 심방세동이 있는 환자에서 동반 질환 수술시 병행하여 수술한다면 정상 동성 율동으로 회복될 기회를 증가시킬 수 있는 유용한 수술법으로 생각된다. 그러나 수술후 재발률을 감소시키기 위하여 적절한 술기의 변형에 대한 연구와 약물요법의 병행을 고려하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.
