가톨릭 의과대학 강남성모병원 치료방사선과에서는 1988년 7월부터 1992년 12월 사이에 뇌종양 환자 45명의 뇌내 46개 병소에 대한 뇌정위다방향방사선치료를 실시하였으며, 이들에 대한 영상학적 및 임상적 추적조사 결과를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 뇌종양에 대한 뇌정위다방향방사선치료는 병소가 생명중추에 인접되어 있거나 다른 전신질환과 함께 있어 종양의 수술적 제거가 어려운 경우, 수술후 잔류 병소가 남아 있거나 재발된 경우, 또는 종래 부터 해오던 방사선치료에도 불구하고 잔류병소가 남아있거나 환자가 수술을 거부할 경우 등에서 실시하게 된다. 이는 수술이나 유사한 다른 치료와 비교하여 동일한 치료효과를 얻으면서도 간편하고 비침습적 이며 또한 상대적으로 저렴한 치료 경비가 소요됨으로, 최근 방사선치료장비 및 치료계획 프로그램의 개발과 함께 그 치료성적이 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 환자 분포는 남녀 비가 22:33 이며, 연령 분포는 5-74세 (중앙값 : 43세)이었고, 추적조사 기간은 2-55개월 (중앙값 : 35개월)이었다. 6 MV 선형 가속기를 사용하여 조사야 용적은 $0.13-42.88\;cm^3$(중앙값 : $7.26\;cm^3)$이었으며, 최대치료선량은 5-35.5 Gy(중앙값 : 20.9 Gy)이었다. 종양 별로는 뇌하수체종양15예, 청각신경종 8예, 수막종 7예, 뇌교종 6예, 두개인두종 4예, 송과선종 3예, 혈관아세포종 2예, 및 뇌전이 암 1예 씩이었다. 총 46예 중 18예$(39.1\%)$에서 추적 영상검사상 종양의 소실 및 위축을 관찰하였으며, 10예$(34.8\%)$에서는 종양크기의 정지상태를 나타냈다. 임상적으로는 34예$(73.9\%)$에서 방사선치료 전보다 양호한 전신상태 및 수행능력을 유지하고 있었으며, 이중 4예 $(8.7\%)$에서는 추적 검사상 종양 크기가 약간 커졌음에도 불구하고 임상적으로는 안정된 상태이었다. 영상학적으로나 임상적으로 악화된 경우는 2예$(4.4\%)$에서 있었다. 치료에 따르는 부작용으로는 치료 직후, 일시적 두통을 호소하였으나 스테로이드 및 진통제 투여로 개선되었으며 경미한 일시적 탈모를 3예$(6.6\%)$에서 경험하였으며 향후 좀더 정밀 추적검사가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Recent studios have shown that narcotic drags produce an unusually intense, prolonged and segmental analgesic action in man whoa injected into the spinal subarachnoid or epidural space (Wang et al, 1979; Behar et al, 1979; Cousins et al, 1979; Magora et a., 1980, Johnston and McCaughey, 1980). Since 1960, many investigators claimed that low molecular weight(LMW) dextran increased the clinical duration of lidocaine(Loder, 1960; Loder, 1962), tetracaine (Chinn and Wirjoatmadja, 1967) and bupivacaine(Kaplan et al, 1975) in man but the mechanism of the action of dextran was unclear. But Curtiss and Scurlock(1979), and Buckled and Fink(1979) claimed that LMW dextran has no effect on the duration of action of bupivacaine in animal studies. The present study was performed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of analgesia by the thoracic epidural injection of morphine and bupivacaine mixture for the relief of pain due to fractured or contused ribs, to evaluate the duration of analgesic effect by the use of the above mixture in a hypertonic solution(dextran 70 or 50% dextrose in water) and to observe the possibility of improvement in the lung function after the pain block. The complications following the pain block were also observed. The 50 single thoracic epidural injections of the mixture were divided into three groups : Group 1(n=15) served as a control group and drags used for the relief of pain were as follows(Mean$\pm$S.D.): morphine($2.13{\pm}1.64\;mg$), 0.5% bupivacaine($3.10{\pm}1.04\;ml$) and 0.9% saline($3.64{\pm}1.11\;ml$). Group 2(n=16) serves as an experimental group and drugs were as follows(Mean$\pm$S.D.): morphine($2.13{\pm}0.72\;mg$), 0.5% bupivacaine($3.06{\pm}0.77\;ml$) and dextran 70($3.75{\pm}1.29\;ml$). Group 3 (n=19) served as an experimental group and drags were as follows(Mean$\pm$S.D.) : morphine($2.42{\pm}0.51\;mg$), 0.5% bupivacaine($3.21{\pm}0.71\;ml$) and 50% dextrose in water($3.58{\pm}1.11\;ml$). The results are were follows: 1) The Dumber of patients who obtained excellent and good analgesic effects following the block were greater in the experimental Croup 2(94%) and Group 3 (90%) than theme of the control Group 1 (80%). 2) The duration of pain relief which lasted more than 3 days after the epidural block was longer in the experimental Group 2 (81%) and Group 3 (75%) than those of the control Croup 1(67%). 3) The pulmonary reserve(FVC%+FEV 1.0%) of 27 cases who were treated by the pain block between 1 and 31 drys following the chest injury was increased to about 13% than those before the block, and that of 13 cases between 32 and 82 days following the chest injury was decreased to about 4% than those before the block. 4) Of the complications following the pain block, there were 5 cased(10%) of nausea within 2 hours following the block, 4 cases(8%) of vomiting after 2 hours following the block, 10 cases(20%) of pruritus after 3~4 hours following the block, 17 cases(34%) of transient urinary retention which tasted 8 to 19 hours, 3 cases(6%) of headache within 2 hoers following the block and 2 cases(4%) of dural puncture. In conclusion, it is suggested that the clinical duration of analgesic effect produced by morphine and bupivacaine mixture can be prolonged by addition of the hypertonic solution to the mixture.

Background & Objectives: Frameless fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy(FFSRT) is a modification of stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) with radiobiologic advantage of fractionation without losing mechanical accuracy of SRS. Local recurrence of head and neck cancer at or near skull base benefit from reirradiation. Main barrier to successful palliation is dose limitation secondary to normal tissue tolerance. We try to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FFSRT as a new modality of reirradaton in these challenging patients. Materials & Methods: Seven patients with recurrent head & neck cancer involving at or near skull base received FFSRT from September 1995 to November 1997. Six patients with nasopharyngeal cancer had received induction chemotherapy and curative radiation therapy. One patient with maxillary sinus cancer had received total maxillectomy and postoperative radiation therapy as a initial treatment. Follow-up ranged from 11 to 32 months with median of 24 months. Three of 7 patients received hyperfractionated radiation therapy(1.1-1.2Gy/fraction, bid, total 19.8-24Gy) just before FFSRT. All patients received FFSRT(3-5Gy/fraction, total 15-30Gy/5-10fractions). Chemotherapy(cis-platin $100mg/m^2$) were given concurrently with FFSRT in four patients. Second course of FFSRT were given in 4 patients with progression or recurrence after initial FFSRT. Because IF(irregularity factor; ratio of surface area of target to the surface area of sphere with same volume as a target) is too big to use conventional stereotactic RT using multiple arc method for protection of radiation damage to critical normal tissue, all patients received FFSRT with conformal method using irregular static ports. Results: Five of 7 patients showed complete remission in follow-up CT &/or MRI. Three of these five patients who developed marginal, in-field, and out-field recurrences, respectively. Another one of complete responders has been dead of G-I bleeding without evidence of local recurrence. One partial responder who showed progressive disease 15 months after initial FFSRT has received additional FFSRT, and then he is well-being with symptomatic improvement. One minmal responder who showed progression of locoregional disease 9 months after $1^{st}$ FFSRT has received 2nd FFSRT, and then he is alive with stable disease. Five of 7 case had showed direct invasion to skull base and had complaint headache and various symptoms of cranial nerve involvement. Four of these five case showed improvement of neurologic symptoms after FFSRT. No significant neurologic complicaltion related to FFSRT was observed during follow-up periods. Tumor volumes were ranged from 3.9 to 50.7 cc and surface area ranged from 16.1 to $114.9cm^2$. IF ranged from 1.21 to 1.74. The average ratio of volume of prescription isodose shell to target volume was 1.02 that indicated the improvement of target coverage and dose distribution with FFSRT with conformal method compared to target coverage with FFSRT with multiple arc method. Conclusion: Our initial experience suggests that FFSRT with conformal method was relatively effective and safe modality in the treatment of recurrent head and neck cancer involving at or near skull base. Treatment benefit included good palliation of symptoms and reasonable radiographic response. However, more experience and additional follow-up are needed to better assess its ultimate role in treating these challenging patients.

목적: 전향적 임상시험을 통해 중등도 이상의 오심, 구토를 유발하는 항암화학요법제 투여로 인한 급성 및 지연성 오심, 구토의 예방에 있어서 dolasetron mesylate의 유효성 및 안정성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 단일 기관에서 공개형, 단일군 임상시험으로 시행되었다. Dolasetron (1.8 mg/kg)과 dexmamethosone 10 mg을 항함화학요법 시작전에 투여하고 나서 이후 24시간 후부터 4일 연속 경구형 dolasetron(200 mg, 1일 1회)을 투여하였다. 구토의 빈도 오심의 중증도, $5-HT_3$ 이외의 구제 항구토제의 사용여부를 화학요법 시작 제1일부터 5일까지 매일 평가하였다. 결과: 30명의 환자가 연구에 참여하였고, 이 중 28명이 유효성 평가가 가능하였다. 28명 중 4명이 5일동안 구제항구토제를 전혀 사용하지 않는 오심, 구토의 완전 조절을 보였다. 완전 조절을 보이는 환자비율은 제 1일에서 5일로 가면서 17.9/46.4/42.9/53.6/60.7%로 시간이 경과하면서 향상되었다. Cisplatin 포함 화학요법과 비포함 화학요법 모두에서 오심보다는 구토가 보다 잘 조절되었다. Dolasetron에 의한 이상반응은 경증에서 중등도의 두통, 설사, 발열 등이었고, 대개 저절로 회복되었다. 결론: Dolasetron은 중등도 이상의 오심, 구토를 유발하는 항암화학요법에서 급성 및 지연성 오심, 구토의 예방에 있어 기존의 반응률 50%에 상당하는 반응률을 보였으며, 안전성면에서도 수용할 만한 경미한 이상반응만을 보여 오심, 구토의 예방에 유용한 약제로 판단된다.

This study has been done in order to analyze the relationship between climacteric symptoms and the stress of life events. For the purpose of this study. objectives set up were as followings. : 1. Climacteric symptoms complained by middle aged women are studied. 2. The stress of life events experienced by middle aged women is studied. 3. The relationship between climacteric symptoms and the stress of life events is studied. 4. The relationship between climacteric symptoms and general characteristics is studied. and the relationship between the stress of life events and general characteristics is also studied. The sample size of this study was 462 cases. The subjects were middle-aged women. who were from 40 to 60 years old and resided in Seoul. Data were collected by using questionnaires which consisted of 122 questions from Jan. 1 to Feb. 7 in 1992. The questionnaires include questions about general characteristics. climacteric symptoms and life events. The measurement scales for this study were adopted from the climacteric symptoms scale developed by Chi. Sung-Ai and the measurement scale of stress related to life events devised by Lee. Pyoung Sook. The analysis of data collected was done by using SPSS-pc package. Firstly. general characteristics were analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods. Secondly. climacteric symptoms were analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods. the analysis of variance and correlation analysis. Thirdly. the stress of life events was studied by using descriptive statistical methods. the analysis of variance. and tests of independence. The results of this study are as followings. 1. General characteristics of the respondents are as followings: The average age is 49. 13. and the age group from 46 to 50 has $30.5\%$ in the respondents. Christianity is the major religion $(42.6\%)$. and the respondents with a high school diploma are $(43.1\%)$ of the respondents. $60\%$ of all respondents are housewives. and $90.5\%$ are married. The average number of children is 2.71. and the average number of family is 4.24 Monthly income of $39.1\%$ of the respondents is from l,010,000 Won to 2,000,000 Won. The premenopausal group is $4.9\%$. and $45.5\%$ of all respondents are satisfied with marrital life. $43.3\%$ of all feel happy. and $13.9\%$ feel economic frustration. $27.9\%$ of respondents are satisfied with sexual life. and $45\%$ of all report that the amount of recreational activities are more needed. 2. The average score of climacteric symptoms is 1. 8461 (The maximum score is 5.0). The symptoms complained frequently are nervousness. muscle-ache. fatigue. headache and knee-ache. Climacteric symptoms are significantly different in menopausal states. age groups. the number of children, marrital satisfaction. the feeling of life. self-reported health states and sexual satisfaction. 3. The life events occurred frequently were 'discord with husband', 'children's important exams', 'separation from husband related to works' and 'vacation'. When life events are analyzed by factors. the most frequently mentioned factor is 'marrital life'. The stress of life events is significantly different in a few general characteristics (age. the number of children, the number of family, monthly income, menopausal status, the feeling of life. self-reported health states, economic satisfaction). 4. The score of climacteric symptoms complained is significantly different according to the stress of life events (p<0.051, Especially, the difference is the widest in psychological symptoms according to the factor of 'couple. marrital life' among stressful life events. In Summary, climacteric symptoms complained by middle-aged women are related to the amount of the stress of life events. Whether life events are positive of negative is not important. Yet. climacteric symptoms and stressful life events are deeply related to general characteristics. so we can not insist strongly that one be directly related to the other.

Purpose: With the recent boom in 'eating healthy', many adults are interested in dieting to prevent future diseases. However only well trained experts can distinguish between what are edible vegetables and herbs from their poisonous look-alikes. In cases where a patient unknowingly ingests a poisonous herb, is caught off guard by the poisonous side effects that occur because of their lack of knowledge of what they have ingested. This paper will focus on the need to educate the public about the risks involved with ingesting wild vegetables and herbs and study the emergency diagnosis and treatment of poisoned patients that enter the emergency room. Method: This study was done in the spring of 2004 (from March to May) in the Kangwon Young-Seo districts of Korea. 15 subjects used in this study, entered the emergency room showing signs of toxic symptoms. Data was collected by examining subject's records. Additional data was collected by collaborating with physicians in the hospital that diagnosed and treated the subjects. Identifying the poisonous vegetable or herb is the first step to proper diagnosis and treatment. Subjects admitted to the emergency room, underwent a battery of tests: laboratory examination, ECG, radiological exam and etc. Results: The demographics of the study encompassed subjects with the average age of $50{\pm}19$ years old. There were 10 men and 5 women. Common symptoms of this study included; gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain and so on. In the case of Caltha palustris ingestion, additional symptoms were present; bradycardia and hypotension which lasted for a long time. While cases that ingested Scopolia parviflora had little effect on vital signs but manic episodes lasted for about three days. Veratrum patulum ingestion showed signs of bradycardia and hypotension but contrary to Caltha palustris recovery was shorten by treating with dopamine. However, dizziness, headache and paresthesia of the extremities continued for a long time. Finally Sium ninsi ingestion showed visual disturbance, paresthesia of the extremities, dizziness as their initial symptoms. Conclusion: The risks involved with ingesting wild plants without the proper knowledge can lead to serious side effects and steps need to be taken to educate the public. In addition, all emergency physicians need to have a working knowledge of the symptoms and signs associated with ingesting toxic wild plants and need to treat accordingly.

본 연구는 서울 및 서울 근교지역에서 치위생 업무를 수행하는 치과위생사 273명을 대상으로 직무스트레스 점수, 식행동 점수, 근무환경, 식습관, 스트레스 관련 요인을 조사하여 치과위생사의 건강증진을 위한 기초 자료로 쓰고자 하며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 조사대상자의 연령은 25세 이하 46.5%, 26~30세 38.1%로 나타났으며, 교육수준은 전문대 졸업이 71.4%로 가장 많았다. 근무형태는 치과위생사 7명 이상 치과의원이 33.0%, 치과병원 28.2%로 나타났고, 치과위생사 총 경력은 1~3년 38.1%, 3~5년 18.7%, 월 급여는 151~200만원이 46.9%로 가장 많게 나타났다. 2. 식습관과 관련된 요인에서 아침식사를 거르는 주된 원인으로 60.4%가 '시간이 없어서'로 응답하였고, 식습관 중 개선하기 원하는 것은 33.0%가 과식을 꼽았으며, 과식 혹은 폭식을 하는 경우는 51.6%가 스트레스 때문이라고 응답하였다. 3. 본인 스트레스 자각 정도는 15.8%가 스트레스를 '매우 많이', 43.2%가 '많이 느낀다'고 응답하였고, 스트레스 원인으로 39.6%가 업무량을, 동료관계가 28.2%로 나타났다. 스트레스 해결방법은 39.9%가친구들과 수다로 가장 많이 해결하고 있으며, 스트레스 시 선호하는 맛은 매운맛 54.2%로 가장 높았고, 스트레스 후 식사 섭취량의 증가는 12.1%가 평소보다 매우 많이, 49.8%가 평소보다 많이 먹는 것으로 조사되었다. 4. 직무스트레스가 높은 상위 그룹에서 본인 스트레스 자각 정도가 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 5. 직무스트레스 점수가 높은 군에서 신경예민(p<0.01), 허리 통증(p<0.001), 눈의 피로(p<0.01), 두통(p<0.01), 소화불량(p<0.01)을 경험하고 있어, 직무스트레스가 건강에 영향을 끼치고 있음이 드러났다. 6. 직무스트레스와 식행동의 관계에서는 직무스트레스가 높을수록 식행동이 불량한 것(p<0.01)으로 조사 되었고, 사후분석(LSD)을 실시한 결과 Middle rank>Middle rank>High rank 순으로 직무스트레스가 식습관 정도에 대해 차이(p<0.05)가 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 7. 치과위생사 3명 이하 치과의원에서 직무스트레스 점수가 높았고(p<0.05), 식행동 점수도 낮게 나타났으며, 주 4일 야간진료를 하는 그룹에서 직무스트레스가 높고, 식행동 점수도 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 근무 중 휴식 시간이 없는 경우 직무스트레스 점수가 높게 나타났고(p<0.001), 식행동 점수도 낮게 드러났으며(p<0.01), 스트레스 자각을 매우 많이 느끼는 경우 직무스트레스 점수가 가장 높게 나타났으며(p<0.001), 식행동 점수도 가장 불량하게 조사되었다(p<0.05). 직무스트레스가 식행동 및 식습관뿐만 아니라 건강상태에도 불량하게 영향을 끼치는 것으로 확인 되었기에 각 사업장에서는 치과위생사의 건강증진을 위해 다양한 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다.
