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.

Paranasal sinusitis, especially chronic is one of the most common diseases in the field of otolaryngology. It is similar to Bee Yeun(鼻淵) in oriental medicine. Most cases of sinusitis are due to anatomical abnormalities within ostiomeatal unit or disturbed mucocilliary flow. The ostiomeatal unit is the first place of contact with bacteria and allergens during aspiration, and it can be obstructed easily by minute mucosal swelling due to anatomical narrowness. Therefore the treatment of paranasal sinusitis is not easy and often leads to recurrences in spite of long term treatment or surgical therapy. We studied 83 patients who had visited our hospital with complaints of nasal symptoms; they had been diagnosed as having paranasal sinusitis through an endoscopy or CT scan in another hospital and were diagnosed as the paranasal sinusitis through a PNS series. The results were as follows: 1. Age and sex distribution: The most common occurence was found between 6-10 and 1-5 years old. The Males Were 52($62.7\%$) and Females were 31($37.3\%$). 2. By residence 58 cases lived in apts: 25 lived in houses. 3. The longest duration of disease varied from a lower of 13 to a higher of 36 months in 22 cases and from 7 to 12 months in 21 cases. 4. The most common complication & past history with otolaryngologic or allergic disease were adenoid or tonsil hypertrophy & tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (21 cases). In decreasing order the others were atopic dematitis, otitis media with effusion and allergic rhinitis. 5. Distribution of paranasal sinus disease was most common in both maxillary sinuses in 52 cases. 12 cases showed a normal PNS X-ray series but these had been diagnosed as paranasal sinusitis with an endoscopy or CT scan in another hospital. 6. Common sinusitis - related symptoms were from highest incidence to lowest nasal obstruction, postnasal drip rhinorrhea, frontal headache, cough with sputum. 7. The most administered of prescription was Gamibangpoongtongsungsan and Sunbangpaedoksan extract. 8. In 26 cases the subjects showed significant improvement symptoms in PNS X-ray series : In 21 case showed partial improvement symptoms.

According to <> and <>, Taeum is strongly related to dampness, earth, and canter. The origin of Taeum is dampness and the presentation of it is dryness, thus spleen plays a greater role than lung in physiologic and pathologic aspect. Taeum meridian cooperates with Soeum and Guelum meridian, and spreads yin gi through spleen and lung meridian. Among six meridian types that are invented by Ji-San, Taeum type possesses lowered eyes and nose and displays characteristics of Taeum disease. Instead of five jang organs and six bu orqans, meridians are major factor of Taeum type. Thus SiDongByung (disease of gi) and SoSaengByung (disease of blood) are considered more significantly than internal and external symptoms of organs. Personality of Taeum type is realistic, pragmatic, diligent, and occasionally selfish. Medications for Taeum type are described as following. GwakHyangJungKi-San or InSamYangWi-Tang can be considered for the complication of intrinsic and extrinsic diseases, which are caused by yin symptom of SangHan. If cold stomach affected by Taeum disease causes an abdominal pain and diarrhea, YiJoong-Tang or PalMiYiJoong-Tang are suggested.

연구목적 본 연구의 목적은 정신과 중년여성 외래환자를 폐경기 상태에 따라 폐경전기, 폐경주위기, 폐경후기의 3집단으로 세분화하여 폐경기 증상을 비교하고, 폐경에 대한 태도 및 인식과 폐경기 증상 간의 연관성을 조사하며, 우울증상 및 특성불안의 심각도에 따른 폐경기 증상의 심각도를 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 2009년 8월 17일부터 2009년 11월 28일까지 고려대학교 구로병원 신경정신과 외래를 방문하여 우울장애와 불안장애로 진단받은 40~64세의 여성 환자 152명을 대상으로 연구를 하였다. 폐경기 증상의 심각도를 평가하기 위해 폐경평가척도(Menopause Rating Scale, MRS)를 이용하였고, 폐경기에 대한 태도를 평가하기 위하여 11항목으로 구성된 자기보고식 설문지를 사용하였다. 또한 대상자의 우울, 불안증상을 평가하기 위해 Beck 우울 척도(Beck Depression Inventory, BDI), 상태특성 불안 척도(State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI)가 사용되었다. 폐경기 상태에 따른 각 그룹에서의 폐경기 증상의 차이가 있는지 비교하였고, 폐경에 대한 태도 및 인식과 폐경기 증상 간의 연관성을 조사하였다. 우울증상, 특성불안의 심각도와 폐경기 증상의 관계를 살펴보았다. 결 과 폐경기 상태에 따른 폐경기 증상은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 '폐경기는 노화의 증후; 배우자들은 폐경기 여성을 매력이 없다고 느낌'의 항목에 동의할수록, '임신을 하지 않아 홀가분함'의 항목에 동의하지 않을수록 일부 폐경기 증상을 심하게 호소하여, 부정적인 폐경에 대한 태도와 폐경기 증상의 심각도 간에 유의한 연관성을 보여주었다. 그리고 우울증상과 특성불안의 수준이 높은 경우 폐경기 증상이 심한 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 본 연구에서 폐경에 대한 부정적 태도 및 우울증상, 불안은 폐경기 증상의 심각도 간에 상호연관성을 보여주었다. 따라서 임상에서 폐경기 증상에 대해 평가하고 교육을 통하여 환자들로 하여금 폐경에 관한 긍정적 태도를 갖고 폐경기 증상에 적절히 대처하도록 하는 것이 필요하다. 향후 임상에서 많은 중년여성 정신과 환자를 대상으로 하여, 정신과 치료를 지속하면서 우울증상, 불안의 호전 정도에 따라 폐경기 증상의 변화를 살펴보는 전향적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

To improve wellness and quality of life by recognizing the health efforts of stress, the author estimated the relationships between stress, subjective symptoms and clinical diagnosis through a questionnaire and a battery of specified laboratory tests; electrocardiography, blood pressure, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase$(\gamma-GTP)$, fasting blood sugar, gastro-endoscopy or UGI, abdominal sonography, etc. The data was gathered from 337 clients who were undergoing multiphasic screening program at a University Hospital from January to March 1998. The mean age of subjects was $46.5{\pm}11.2$ years and the mean of body mass index was $24.0{\pm}3.7kg/m^2$. The mean vol of stress was $18.5{\pm}6.0$ expressed as the score out of 40. By general characteristics and lift style among male, mean level of stress was significantly higher in case of lower socioeconomic status, habitual drug use, longer daily working time(>10 hours), no regular exercise, drinkers, irregular meal, skip-ping breakfast(p<0.05). In case of female, that was significantly higher in case of lower education, lowe. socioeconomic status, longer daily working time(>10 hours), no regular exercise, drinkers, smokers, irregular meal, skipping breakfast(p<0.05). Significant correlations were observed between stress and subjective symptoms in all kinds of organ system (p<0.01). Correlation coefficients of stress among male were relatively high with neuro-psychiatric symptom$(\gamma=0.476)$ and cardio-vascular symptom$(\gamma=0.361)$ in order, and correlation coefficients of stress among female was highest with neuro-psychiatric symptom$(\gamma=0.371)$. The prevalence of the diagnosis through the battery of laboratory tests was high in upper gastrointestinal disorders and hypercholesterolemia in order in both sex group. Among male the mean score of stress was significantly high in ulcerative peptic disorder of upper gastrointestine and hepatopathy in order (p<0.05) . Among female that was significantly high in diabetes mellitus. In summary, it is likely that there are associations between stress, subjective symptoms and clinical diagnosis. To promote wellness and quality of life it would be of value that periodic stress evaluation program and stress management including apropriate control of smoking and drinking, regular exercise and meal.
