Objectives : To assess and compare the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment of depression in epilepsy children and adolescent's parents. Methods : 20 cases of depression in epilepsy children and adolescent's parents were investigated in Southern TCM Centre, Southern University College, Malaysia. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups; Acupuncture treatment group and Herbal medication treatment group. Family relationships questionnaires and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale were used before, after 4 weeks and 8 weeks treatments in order to investigate the effectiveness of treatment. Results : After 4 weeks Acupuncture treatment group showed significant reduction in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. On the other hand, after 8 weeks both groups showed significant reduction in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Conclusions : The result suggests that the effectiveness of Acupuncture treatment is comparable with treat of Herbal medication treatment to reduce parent's Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.

Objectives : To assess and compare the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment of depression in Cancer patient's Home Caregivers. Methods : Total 60 cases in Cancer patient's Home Caregivers, who fulfilled the study's eligibility criteria, were recruited and observed(N=40). The individuals were assigned into two groups, the Acupuncture group(N=20) and Control group(N=20). Changes in their Hamilton Depression rating Scale indices, were statistically compared before and after treatment in order to investigate the effectiveness of treatment. Results : 70% Home Caregivers were female and 30% were male, half of the Home Caregivers was patient's spouse or partner and employee. After 6 weeks, Acupuncture group seems to show reduction in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. On the other hand after 8 weeks Control group do not show reduction in the Hamilton Depression rating Scale. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture treatment may provide short-term relief of depressive symptoms in Home Caregivers for Cancer patients. Findings from this non-randomized trial should be interpreted with caution.

양극성 장애는 조증 삽화(manic episode)와 주요 우울삽화(major depressive episode)를 특징으로 하는 정신질환이다. 주요 우울삽화 시기에는 양극성 장애 환자들의 810%가 자살하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 양극성 장애 환자를 치료할 때, 우울증상의 정도를 측정하는 것이 중요하다. 우울증상의 정도를 측정하기 위해 가장 많이 사용하는 검사법은 해밀턴 우울평가 척도(Hamilton depression rating scale)이다. 본 논문에서는 해밀턴 우울평가척도 점수를 이용하여 환자들의 치료 효과를 예측하기 위해 선형혼합효과모형(linear mixed effects model)과 전이모형(transition model)을 제시하였다. 예측을 위해 사용된 자료는 분당서울대학교병원을 방문하여 초진일 당시의 해밀턴 우울평가 척도 점수가 8 점 이상인 환자들의 정보를 사용하였다. 첫 조사시점부터 6개월, 12개월 후 세 차례에 걸쳐 관측된 해밀턴 우울평가 척도 점수를 선형혼합효과모형과 전이모형에 적합시켰다. 그 결과를 토대로 특정시점의 해밀턴 우울평가 척도 점수를 예측하였다. 첫 조사시점부터 6개월, 12개월 후의 해밀턴 우울평가 척도 점수를 사용해 선형혼합효과모형과 전이모형에 적합 시켰다. 이 모델들을 이용해 조사시점부터 24개월 후의 해밀턴 우울평가 척도 점수를 예측한다. 이 예측모델은 조사된 24개월 후의 점수와 예측된 24개월의 후의 점수를 비교하여 평가하였다.

본 연구는 혈액 투석 중인 성인 환자 집단과 노인 환자 집단 간의 우울, 불안 및 자율신경기능의 차이를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 정신의학적 특징들과 자율신경기능을 비교해보았을 때 만성질환에 견디어 내는 능력에 있어서 노인 환자 집단이 성인 환자 집단에 비해 취약하지 않은 결과를 보였다. 이는 만성질환을 앓고 있는 동일한 상황에서 노인들이 보다 긍정적 사고 경향을 가지고 있는 것과 관련되어 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : The objective of this clinical case report is to describe an acupuncture treatment for dizziness after acoustic neuroma surgery. Methods : The patient was treated with acupuncture treatment for 4 months, 3 times per week. Duration for every treatment were 30 min by manual acupuncture with De Qi, which was designed to treat the dizziness and accompanied symptoms. Side-lying test was also used to evaluate dizziness and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HDRS) to evaluate depression. We evaluated the clinical result of the treatment by observing the patients symptoms. Results : After acupuncture treatments for 4 months, patient's Side-lying test reduced to 10 second, and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression reduced 4 points. Conclusions : The clinical case treatment report may suggest that the acupuncture treatment can be a meaningful option for the intractable dizziness after acoustic neuroma surgery, and also able to reduced depression scale.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in stroke patients and to compare characteristics of different rating scales - Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression (HAD.D)- with regard to diagnosis and severity assessment for post-stroke depression. Methods: Participants included 44 stroke patients who could communicate. At admission, all study participants received a semi-structured interview using the HDRS and a self-completed questionnaire using the BDI and the HAD-D. Pearson's correlation method was used to examine associations among the three depression scales. The BDI and HAD-D were compared based on HDRS criteria, and the sensitivity and specificity using cut-off values were analyzed. Results: The HDRS showed that 52.30% of stroke patients had depressive symptoms on the BDI and HAD-D it was 59.10%. The HDRS correlated significantly with the BDI (r=0.81, p<0.01) and HAD-D (r=0.55, p<0.01). The BDI correlated significantly with HADS (r=0.50, p<0.01). After calculating the area under the ROC curve to decide on HDRS criteria, the BDI (AUC=0.91, 95% CI: 0.83.0.99) showed a significantly larger area compared to the HAD.D (AUC=0.82, 95% CI: 0.69-0.94). The cut-off value of the BDI was 12.50 points with a sensitivity of 81.00% and a specificity of 76.20%. Conclusion: These findings show that the BDI is a useful screening test for depression that most closely predicts the HRDS score.

Object : The aim of this study was to examine an association between plasma 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid(HIAA) level and the change of depressive symptom after fluoxetine trial in haloperidol-stabilized schizoprenic in-patients. Method : According to plasma 5-HIM level, 32 patients were classified to either group with high 5-HIAA level(N=11) or that with low 5-HIM(N=11). For each patient, fluoxetine(20mg/day) added to stable haloperidol dose for 6 weeks. The authors measured Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) at baseline, the 2nd week, the 4th week, the 6th week of treatment. Result : 1) Age, duration of illness, number of admission, duration of present admission, dosage of haloperidol between high 5-HIAA group and low 5-HIM group were significantly different. 2) As time went on, the association between the change of depressive symptom and plasma 5-HIAA concentration was not significant. 3) Of depressed group, as lime went an, depressive symptoms were improved significantly in high 5-HIAA group, but not in law 5-HIM group. Conclusion : We suggest that the association between plasma 5-HIAA level and the change of depressive symptoms after fluoxetine trial in haloperidol stabilized schizophrenic in-patients was not significant.

연구목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 기공에 기초한 스트레스 관리 프로그램이 산모의 우울, 불안 등의 정서에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 임신 16주 이상의 산모들을 대상으로 하였다. 기공프로그램군은 8주동안, 일주일에 2번씩 기공프로그램에 참여한 52명으로 구성되었으며, 교육군은 8주동안 1주일에 1번씩 산모교육에 참여한 40명으로 구성되었다. 평가도구는 우울 수준을 측정하는 척도로서 해밀턴 우울 척도(Hamilton depression rating scale, HAMD), 벡 우울 척도(Beck depression inventory, BDI), 에딘버러 산후 우울증 척도(Edinburgh postnatal depression scale, EPDS)를 이용하였다. 불안 수준을 측정하는 척도로서 스필버거 특성 상태 불안척도-1 (Spielberger trait state anxiety inventory-1, STAI-1), 해밀턴 불안 척도(Hamilton anxiety scale, HAM-A)를 이용하였다. 기공과 교육 프로그램 시작전, 이후 2주, 4주, 8주에 걸쳐 산모의 우울, 불안 수준을 상기 척도로 측정하였다. 결과: 기공프로그램군은 프로그램 시작 전과 8주 후를 비교하였을 때 유의미하게 불안과 우울 수준이 모든 척도에서 호전되었다. 반면 교육군은 시작 전과 8주 후를 비교하였을 때 유의미한 호전은 없었다. 두 집단의 프로그램 전후 변화량을 비교한 결과 기공프로그램군이 교육군에 비하여 통계적으로 유의미한 변화를 보였다. 결론: 본 연구는 기공에 기초한 스트레스 관리 프로그램이 산모의 불안과 우울감을 조절하는데 효과적인 방법일 수 있음을 시사한다.

Objectives : Clinical differences between elderly patients with early and late onset depression have been described although these have been inconsistent. We aimed to compare differences of clinical symptoms using the 17 items Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAM-D-17) between two groups. Methods : Data of 175 elderly patients with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder according to DSM-IV from January 2005 to November 2009 were collected. Seventy five patients were early onset depression and one hundred patients were late onset depression. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for depression. Results : There were some differences in HAM-D-17 scores between early and late onset depression. Early onset depression patients scored significantly higher in retardation(t = 2.41, p = 0.017) and somatic symptoms( general)(t = 2.37, p = 0.019) than late onset depression patients. Conclusion : We concluded that early onset depression patients have more severe psychomotor retardation and general somatic symptoms than late onset depression patients in Korea. Because of some limitations of this study, further investigations will be needed to validate this study results.
