Objective: A study of primary cancer morbidity among children and subsequent calculation of average annual incidence were carried out for boys and girls, and young men and women in Kazakhstan. Methods: The investigated population lived in three areas of the Aral Sea region: designated catastrophe (Aral, Kazalt, Shalkar regions), crisis (Zhalagash, Karmakshy, Shiely regions), pre-crisis (Irgiz, Arys, Ulytau regions). Zhanaarka region of Karaganda oblast was applied as a control. Parameters were retrospective analyzed for the 10 years from 2004 to 2013. Result: The results indicate that indices of children cancer morbidity were slightly higher in the Aral Sea region than in the control district, but they were comparable with similar data from studies in other regions. In all areas of the Aral Sea region, except for Ulytau, primary cancer morbidity exceeded the control level by 1.3-2.7 times (4.7%000). Hematological malignancies, including solid tumors - tumors of musculoskeletal system and skin, digestive system, brain and central nervous system predominated. Stress levels in zones of the Aral Sea region were slightly higher in the crisis zone than in the catastrophe zone that can be explained by the phenomenon of wave-like dynamics of disease growth risk. Gender differences in characteristics of malignancy formation were not more pronounced in the studied region. Conclusion: Indices of children cancer are slightly higher in the Aral Sea region than in the control area of Kazakhstan, but they are comparable to results for other regions.

본 연구는 강원도 영북권역에 소재하는 모든 의료기관을 대상으로 지역주민 중 65세 이상 노인인구의 의료기관 이용도를 2003년부터 2017년까지 입원 질환을 '요양병원을 포함'과 '요양병원을 제외'로 나누어 분석하였다. 그 결과 영북권역 노인인구 입원이용(요양병원 포함)에서 고혈압과 치매, 근골계 질환, 소화기계 질환, 기타 질환 순으로 차지하고 있으며, 노인인구 입원이용(요양병원 제외)의 경우 고혈압을 포함하는 혈액·순환기계 질병, 소화·비뇨기계 질환, 정신질환, 기타 질환 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 노인들의 치료 및 건강관리가 매우 중요하며 이를 위한 공공 의료조직의 확충이 필요하며 이를 위해 지역 내 의료기관, 단체, 대학 등과 거버넌스 구축이 필요하며 이를 바탕으로 강원도 영북지역 노인의 건강한 삶을 유지 할 수 있도록 예방적 차원의 보건사업이 수행되어야 한다.

It has become clear that complex interactions underlie the relationship between the skeletal and immune systems. This is particularly true for the development of immune cells in the bone marrow as well as the functions of bone cells in skeletal homeostasis and pathologies. Because these two disciplines developed independently, investigators with an interest in either often do not fully appreciate the influence of the other system on the functions of the tissue that they are studying. With these issues in mind, this review will focus on several key areas that are mediated by crosstalk between the bone and immune systems. A more complete appreciation of the interactions between immune and bone cells should lead to better therapeutic strategies for diseases that affect either or both systems.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to measure changes in spine inclination and thoracolumbar structure and morphology according to upper-extremity movements with and without resistance in order to evaluate the spine stability in workers. METHODS: Forty-eight middle-aged male workers (mean age, 40.48 ± 6.27 years) participated in this study. Using the spine analysis system, changes in the inclination of the spine and structure as well as shape of the thoracolumbar spine were measured. For posture measurement, the postures of standing, lifting the right and left arms (shoulder joint 90° flexion), and lifting with both arms were measured in random order. In addition, variables were measured using a resistance of 3 kg for each posture. The statistical significance level was set at α = .05 for all variables. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences between the front and back inclinations of the spine, kyphotic curve of the thoracic spine, lordotic curve of the lumbar spine, rotation changes in the thoracolumbar spine, and rotation changes in the T4 vertebra (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in the left and right tilts of the spine. In the post-hoc analysis, rotation changes in the T4 vertebra showed a significant difference in posture when resistance was applied to the left and right sides CONCLUSION: Causes of musculoskeletal diseases include excessive thoracic spine rotation, torsion, and hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the working environment in order to ensure a healthy posture and prevent musculoskeletal diseases that can reduce the ability to carry various and/or excessive loads.

최근 현대인들은 잘못된 자세로 인해 다양한 근골격계 질환의 발병률이 높아지고 있다. 근골격계 질환의 근본적인 원인은 잘못된 자세 습관으로 발병한 경우가 많다. 근골격계 질환은 바른 자세 습관을 통해 예방이 가능하지만, 자세를 스스로 인식하여 교정하기는 쉽지 않다. 지속적인 자세 모니터링을 위하여 다양한 연구들이 수행되었으나, 기존 계측 시스템은 구속성 및 고비용으로 인해 일상생활에 적용하기가 적합하지 않다. 본 논문은 일상생활에서 착석 자세 모니터링을 통해 자발적으로 자세 교정을 유도할 수 있는 FSR 센서 어레이를 이용한 자세 판별 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 방석 형태로 설계되어 기존에 보유하고 있는 의자에 적용이 용이하다. 또한, 일상생활에서 가장 대표적인 5가지 자세를 판별할 수 있으며, 안드로이드 기반의 스마트폰 모니터링 애플리케이션을 통해 실시간으로 모니터링이 가능하다. 시스템의 성능 평가를 위하여 각각의 자세를 50회씩 반복하여 측정하였으며, 98.88%의 높은 자세 판별 정확도를 확인하였다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the frequent diseases among the people who had been treated by collaborative treatment of Korean medicine and Western medicine, and to compare their medical use behaviors before and after the collaborative first-stage pilot project between Korean medicine and Western medicine. Methods : 4,467 patients were identified as the patients who are participated in the collaborative first-stage pilot project between Korean medicine and Western medicine during the period between July 15, 2016 and March 31 2017. We used 28,480 records of Korean national health insurance claim data from January 1 2016 to March 31 2017 to analyzed present condition of cooperative medical usage. Also we conducted a paired t test to compare the percentage of collaborative treatment days before and after the pilot project period. Results : We found that the most frequent diseases treated in the pilot project were the diseases of musculoskeletal and nervous system and then 10 major diseases such as H, K, J, C (D), N, L, E, A, H and F disease codes in order. Also it was confirmed that 14 major and 53 medium diseases are included from more than 90% of total patients. As a result of high frequency of medical treatment in Western medicine or Korean medicine is "administration of Korean medicine", which is same as before and within the pilot project. The ratio of utilizing both Western and Korean medical care for the same disease on the same day by both general patients and patients in KCD-7 disease code group C, G, I, M and S had been increased significantly. Conclusions : The pilot project might change the behavior of utilizing the medical care service by increasing the ratio of collaborative treatment of Western medicine and Korean medicine for the same disease on the same day.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the trends of disease of residents who had treatment in primary health care posts in N-county over the past seven years (1997-2003). The data will assist in planning responses to changes in the health care environment and in planning health promotion programs. Method: A retrospective descriptive survey was conducted of the computerized records of primary health care done by community health practitioners over the last seven years. Cross analysis was conducted among the data using SAS, and the results were displayed in frequencies and percentages. The data were collected from May to September 2004. Results: The results of the study are as follows: 1. The six most frequent diseases were ranked as follows: diseases of the 1) respiratory system, 2) musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, 3) digestive system, 4) skin and subcutaneous tissue, 5) circulatory system, and 6) symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings. Especially in 2002, circulatory system related disease rose two steps in the ranking and digestive system related disease went a step down. 2. The patients' use of primary health care posts over the past seven years continued to increase on the whole. Conclusions: According to these results, each primary health care post should carry out special health promotion programs that fit the local society of N- county and are in accordance with changes in health care needs.
