A noncommunicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is by definition non-infectious and non-transmissible among people. Currently, NCDs are the leading causes of death and disease burden worldwide. The four main types of NCDs, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, and diabetes, result in more than 30 million deaths annually. To reduce the burden of NCDs on global health, current public health actions stress the importance of preventing, detecting, and correcting modifiable risk factors; controlling major modifiable risk factors has been shown to effectively reduce NCD mortality. The World Health Organization's World Health Report 2002 identified tobacco use, alcohol consumption, overweight, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol as the most important risk factors for NCDs. Accordingly, the present report set out to review the prevalence and trends of these modifiable risk factors in the Korean population. Over the past few decades, we observed significant risk factor modifications of improved blood pressure control and decreased smoking rate. However, hypertension and cigarette smoking remained the most contributable factors of NCDs in the Korean population. Moreover, other major modifiable risk factors show no improvement or even worsened. The current status and trends in major modifiable risk factors reinforce the importance of prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors in reducing the burden of NCDs on individuals and society.

Infantile osteomyelitis is a rare disease that is infective in nature and may rapidly turn fatal, as the disease is often misdiagnosed due to its varied presenting signs. Early diagnosis may help in avoiding systemic involvement and permanent deformity. The disease presents with signs of orbital involvement, nasal congestion, and emesis, as well as other standard hallmarks of infection. Furthermore, the maxilla is a highly vascular and porous bone and the occurrence of osteomyelitis in an infant maxilla is highly uncommon. In addition, routine blood work is not suggestive of the presence of this disease. Thus, prompt diagnosis of this condition poses a challenge to surgeons due to the confusing array of symptoms combined with the rarity of the disease. One such case of osteomyelitis of the maxilla in a young child is presented. The dilemma encountered by the surgeon during the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is discussed.

Macular degeneration and glaucoma are representative age-related retinal diseases that rank second and third in the prevalence of retinal diseases, and are a kind of degenerative neurological disease. Irreversible visual acuity and visual field damage may occur, and the number of patients is rapidly increasing as the population ages. Since this retinal disease is a chronic disease, continuous drug treatment is required. There are various drug delivery methods for treatment, but direct injection of the drug into the intravitreal is the most effective for continuous delivery of the drug over a long period of time. In order to solidify Dexamethasone, a retinal disease treatment, and insert it into the primary intravitreal, it is important to develop a technology to miniaturize the treatment and an applicator to deliver the treatment. In this study, a mold technology was developed to integrate the cannula and hub, which are one part of applicator. In addition, surface treatment was performed on the outside of the cannula to improve the bonding strength between the cannula and the hub, and the bonding strength according to each condition was analyzed through a tensile test.

말초동맥질환은 하지혈관을 흔히 침범하는 폐쇄성 질환이다. 대동맥-장골동맥 부위에서 이를 치료하기 위한 재개통술은 전통적으로 수술적인 접근을 통한 우회술을 근간으로 하였으며, 최근에는 국소적이고 단순한 병변들을 위주로 혈관 내 접근법을 통한 치료법이 우선 권고되고 있다. 혈관 내 접근법은 그 최소침습적인 특성으로 인하여 수술의 위험성이 높은 환자에 대해서 활용하는 것이 일반적이었으나, 근래의 다양한 기법 및 기구의 발전으로 보다 다양한 질병 상태를 가진 환자에서 활용되어 수술적인 치료에 근접하는 결과가 보고되고 있다. 이 종설에서는 말초동맥 질환에 대한 진단 및 대동맥-장골동맥 부위의 혈관 내 재개통술에 활용되는 기법 및 기구들에 대해 살펴보고 그 역할에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to review on current status of use and measurement condition of heart rate variability(HRV) by reviewing clinical studies published in journal of Korean medicine registered Korea citraion index(KCI). Methods : One hundred twenty articles were found by searching the representative Korean databases. At first analysis was performed by current status of use(journal, academic field of corresponing author, purpose of study, disease of subject, HRV measurement devices, intervention methods and tests compared to HRV). At second analysis was performed by measurement condition(uncontrolled study, relaxation before measurement, measurement position, measurement place, measurement time period and restriction of smoking, alcohol, caffeine, meal). Results : The analysis showed that department of acupuncture & moxibustion, department of oriental neuropsychiatry are major part in journal & academic field. The purpose of study were classified under studies to verify therapeutic effect on normal subject(39%), to verify therapeutic effect on the patients(8%), to investigate characteristics of the patients(34%) and to be compared with other test(19%). Disease of subject & measurement devices in article were so various. Major intervention methods were acupuncture(61.4%), mind-body intervention(19.2%). Studies that measurement condition were not controlled were relax time(24%), measurement position(19%), measurement place(26%), measurement time period(91%) and restriction of smoking, alcohol, caffeine, meal(49%). Conclusions : This study showed that current status of use of HRV is widespread in Korean medicine but more controlled measurement conditon are needed to get more reliable result from clinical studies and to improve diagnosis and treatment of Korean medicine.

시설재배 되는 들깨에 발생하여 피해를 초래하는 균핵병 발생 특성에 대하여 조사연구한 결과, 들깨 균핵병균(S. sclerotiorum)의 균사생장 적온은 $20^{\circ}C$이었고, $15^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 $20^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서보다 균핵의 형성수는 적었으나 보다 큰 균핵을 형성하였으며 건물중도 높았다. 토양 깊이별 균핵의 자낭반 형성은 0.5 cm에서 가장 높았고 3cm 깊이까지 자낭반을 하였으나 5cm 이상의 깊이에서는 자낭반 형성이 관찰되지 않았다. 들깨 균핵병은 전 생육기에 걸쳐 발생하였고, 특히 저온 다습기인 1월에서 2월에 발생이 높았다. 그리고 5년 이상 연작 재배시 높은 발병을 보였으며, 10년 이상 연작재배 포장은 20% 이상의 발병을 보여 많은 피해를 초래하였다. 또한 들깨 시설재배 농가 포장에서 자연 감염에 의한 균핵병이 떡쑥, 주름잎 등의 잡초에 발생하였으며, 병원성 조사결과, 화본과를 제외한 국화과 등 6개과에 속하는 11종의 잡초에 병원성을 나타내었다. 이런 결과는 윤작과 효율적인 잡초관리가 들깨 균핵병 발생을 경감할 수 있고, 벼 후작으로 시설재배 되는 들깨에 균핵병이 격발하는 원인을 설명할 수 있는 하나의 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 논문에서는 헬스 케어 시스템에서 효율적으로 질병을 관리할 수 있는 RDMS(Rough Set Theory based Disease Monitoring System)을 제안한다. RDMS는 DCM(Data Collection Module), RDRGM(RST based Disease Rule Generation Module), HMM(Healthcare Monitoring Module)로 구성된다. DCM은 바이오센서로부터 환자의 생체 정보를 수집하고, 데이터 처리 절차에 따라 RDMS DB에 저장한다. RDRGM은 RST의 코어와 속성의 지지율을 이용하여 질병 규칙을 생성한다. HMM은 DCM에 의해 수집된 환자 정보를 이용하여 환자의 질병에 대한 위험지수뿐만 아니라 질병에 대한 합병증에 관한 위험지수까지 분석함으로써 환자의 질병을 예측하고, 환자의 위험지수에 따라 환자, 주치의 등에 시각화된 환자의 정보를 전달한다. 또한, RDRGM에 의해 생성된 규칙들에 따라 환자의 의료정보, 현재의 환자건강상태, 환자 가족력 등을 비교분석하여 환자의 질병을 예측하고, 예측결과에 따라 환자 맞춤형 의료 서비스와 의료 정보를 신속하고 신뢰성 있게 제공할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how disease activity and uncertainty influence anxiety and depression in patients with ankylosing spondylitis Methods: Participants were 125 patients with ankylosing spondylitis who had attended the rheumatology division of a university hospital. A structured questionnaire was used to assess disease activity, uncertainty, anxiety, and depression. The data gathered were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVAs, Pearson correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression. Results: Differences were observed in anxiety based on job status, and in depression based on age, marriage, and job status. Uncertainty and disease activity predicted patients' anxiety and explained 40% of the variance in this measure, and the relative influence of uncertainty (${\beta}=.38$, p<.001) was larger than that of disease activity (${\beta}=.30$, p<.001). Furthermore, uncertainty and disease activity predicted depression and explained 36% of the variance therein, and the relative influence of uncertainty (${\beta}=.27$, p=.002) and disease activity (${\beta}=.27$, p=.003) was similar. Conclusion: This study confirmed that disease activity and uncertainty influenced anxiety and depression in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, efforts to decrease anxiety and depression in patients with this condition must take into consideration disease activity when implementing nursing interventions and should include strategies to lower uncertainty.

구강질환인 치주질환은 학령기 후반에 치은염으로 시작되어 청소년기에 점차 증가 하면서 청장년기에 이르기까지 유병률은 계속 증가되어 결국 치아상실에 이르는 만성질환으로 전 생애 예방관리가 매우 중요하다. 치주질환은 구강건강행위를 통해 예방하고 관리될 수 있기 때문에 성인의 구강건강행위와 치주질환간의 관련성을 연구하고 이에 대한 중요성을 강조하고자 한다. 국민건강영양조사 제6기 3차(2015년)년도 자료를 활용하여 연구대상자의 구강건강행위에 따른 치주질환 유병률 비교결과 잇몸병 치료, 잇솔질 시기, 치실, 치간칫솔 사용, 주관적 구강건강상태에서 통계적 의미가 있었다. 구강건강행위 습관이 치주질환과 관련이 있음을 고려할 때 올바른 구강위생관리를 위한 구강보건교육 프로그램의 개발과 실천을 위한 체계적인 추가 연구를 제안한다.
