In this study, the muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension were determined using an isokinetic muscle strength meter (Biodex) in patients with chronic lumbar go (10 male and 10 females), and the changes in muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension after application of Y-shaped sacrospinalis muscle taping, typically used for patient with lumbar go, were studied. In addition, the sacrospinalis muscle taping of a different shape (I-shaped taping) was applied bilaterally centering on the spine, and the muscle strength and endurance of the lumbar at flexion and extension were determined and compared with those before taping. In addition, the results after application of Y-shaped taping and I-shaped taping were also compared. 1. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of Y-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). The flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio taping and after application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. 2. The flexor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. The extensor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of Y-shaped taping did not show the level of significance. 3. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). The flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). 4. The flexor muscle endurance of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance. The extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec before application of kinesio Taping and after application of I-shaped taping showed the level of significance (p<.05). 5. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/sec did not show the level of significance. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $60^{\circ}$/ sec showed the level of significance (p<.05). 6. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the flexor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec did not show the level of significance. In comparison between after application of Y-shaped taping and after application of I-shaped taping, the extensor muscle strength of the lumbar at loading of $90^{\circ}$/sec did not showed the level of significance (p<.05).

연구목적 : 월경전기증후군에서 나타나는 증상 양상, 가족력, 높은 정서장애의 유병율은 이 질환의 정서장애와의 관련성을 시사해 주며 한편, 월경주기에 따른 정서장애 임상경과의 변화도 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 정신과 외래 통원 치료를 받고 있는 정서장애 환자군과 대조군을 대상으로 하여 월경전기변화의 양상과 정도를 비교하고 일상 및 직업 생활에의 영향 및 환자군에서의 월경전기변화에 대한 가능성 있는 위험 요인들을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 본 연구는 정신과 외래 통원 치료를 받고 있는 여성 정서장애 환자 80명과 정상 대조군 80명을 대상으로 하였다. 월경전기변화는 DSM-IV 월경전기불쾌기분장애의 진단기준 A를 세분화한 4점 척도의 16항목으로 구성된 자기 평가 형식의 설문지를 통해 후향적인 방법으로 평가되었다. 결과 : 1) 월경전기변화의 항목 중 한가지 이상에서 중등도 이상의 변화를 경험하는 월경전기변화군이 정서 장애 환자군은 32.6%. 대조군은 50%로 환자군에서 대상이 적었다. 2) 월경전기변화군에서 대조군은 기분 또는 행동 변화와 신체적인 변화를 호소하는 경우가 비슷한 분포로 나타났으나, 환자군은 기분 또는 행동 변화만을 호소하는 경우가 유의하게 많았다. 월경전기변화군에서 대조군은 신체적인 변화인 유방 통증의 빈도가 가장 높았던 반면 환자군에서는 기분이나 행동 변화인 피로감과 무기력의 빈도가 가장 높았다. 3) 대조군은 기분이나 행동 변화와 신체적인 변화가 많을수록 일상이나 사회 생활에 심한 장애를 경험하는 반면 환자군에서는 기분 또는 행동 변화만이 빈도가 높을수록 심한 일상이나 사회 생활의 장애를 경험하였다. 4) 환자군에서 월경전기변화군은 월경전기변화가 없는 군에 비해 월경통을 보고하는 경우가 유의하게 많았으며, 그 심각도는 월경전기변화의 빈도와 상관 관계를 나타내었다. 결론 : 정서 장애 환자군의 월경전기변화는 신체적 변화보다 기분 행동 변화가 두드러지는 특성을 보였다. 이들 환자군의 월경전기변화는 기존 질환의 월경전기악화 또는 기존 질환과 동반되는 월경전기증후군의 가능성을 제시해 준다. 또한, 환자군에서는 월경전기변화 특히 기분 또는 행동 변화의 빈도가 높을수록 심한 일상 생활의 장애를 경험하였다. 따라서, 정서장애 환자에서의 월경전기변화에 대한 정확한 평가와 이에 대한 적절한 치료 전략의 수립이 필요하리라 본다.

본 연구는 IMRT가 적용된 성문암 환자에 대하여 CBCT영상과 변형영상 정합기법을 이용하여 치료기간 동안 실제 환자에게 전달되는 선량 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. B-spline 알고리즘을 사용한 변형영상정합 시스템을 통해 치료 중 1주 간격으로 얻은 CBCT를 재구성하고 치료계획을 재계산하여 종양과 결정장기의 선량 분포를 비교하였다. 체중에 따른 체적변화는 3~5 주부터 평균 1.38~2.04 kg로 증가하였으며 체표면의 변화는 평균 2.1 mm로 감소하였다. 또한, 3주 이후의 경동맥에 전달된 선량은 계획되었던 값보다 최대 8.76%로 증가하였고, 갑상선샘은 26.4%로 감소하였다. 종양의 물리적의 평가인자인 PITV, TCI, rDHI, mDHI 그리고, CN은 치료 계획된 값보다 각각 평균 4.32%, 5.78%, 44.54%, 12.32% 그리고, 7.11%로 감소하였다. PTV에 대한 $D_{max}$는 평균 2.99% 증가하였고, $D_{mean}$, $V_{67.50}$, $D_{95}$는 각각 평균 1.52%, 5.78%, 11.94%로 감소하였다. 체중변화에 따른 체적의 변화가 없더라도 체형변화는 발생하였고, 좁은 여유마진을 가지는 IMRT는 이러한 변화에 민감하게 반응하였다. 성문암에 대한 IMRT 적용 시 환자의 체중변화를 관찰과 함께 변화를 기록하고 치료 중 변형영상정합 시스템을 이용하여 선량분포를 평가할 필요가 있다. 최종적으로 치료 중 실제 전달되는 선량평가는 적응형치료계획을 통하여 확인하고 정확한 선량전달이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Among patients who visited each clinical department for oriental medical treatments, anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and blood lipid profile level were measured at their first initial visit. 55 subject patients who were diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome and 150 mg/dL or more of triglyceride were selected as subjects whose fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were measured after fasting. According to each patient's disease, the subject received treatments such as herb medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation therapy from each clinical department, and after an average of 4.10${\pm}$0.31 weeks, another test was performed yielding the following results. Serum triglyceride was 243.72${\pm}$13.05 mg/dL before the oriental medical treatment and 188.11${\pm}$12.17 mg/dL after the treatment where although it continued to show an abnormal value even after the treatment, there was statistically significant decrease compared to pre treatment(P<0.05). Serum total cholesterol was 207.50${\pm}$5.89 mg/dL before the oriental medical treatment and 192.37${\pm}$5.53 mg/dL after the treatment which was statistically insignificant compared to pre treatment(P>0.05). Serum HDL cholesterol was 51.19${\pm}$3.95 mg/dL before the oriental medical treatment and increased to 52.53${\pm}$1.49 mg/dL after the treatment although it was statistically insignificant compared to pre treatment(P>0.05). Serum LDL cholesterol was 110.66${\pm}$5.86 mg/dL before the oriental medical treatment and decreased to 106.12${\pm}$4.82 mg/dL after the treatment although it was statistically insignificant compared to pre treatment(P>0.05). In regards to the change of triglyceride for each sex, it was 221.84${\pm}$14.01 mg/dL before the treatment and 187.00${\pm}$15.47 mg/dL after the treatment for men, and it was 271.50${\pm}$22.78 mg/dL and 189.53${\pm}$19.76 mg/dL respectively for women where even though men and women showed the decrease of 34.84${\pm}$12.79 mg/dL and 81.96${\pm}$20.01 mg/dL respectively, both men and women continue to show abnormal values after the treatments. However, there was statistically significant decrease compared to pre treatment(P<0.05). In regards to the change of total cholesterol for each sex, with 198.24${\pm}$7.60 mg/dL for men before the treatment and 188.93${\pm}$7.45 mg/dL after the treatment, values for both before and after the treatment were within the normal range where the change value was 9.30${\pm}$5.86 mg/dL and statistically insignificant(P>0.05). For women, it was 219.26${\pm}$8.87 mg/dL and 196.73${\pm}$8.43 mg/dL respectively for women where with 22.53${\pm}$7.60 mg/dL, it decreased to the normal level after the treatment, and there was a statistically significant decrease compared to pre treatment(P<0.05). With such results, serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels of patients who have been diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome were observed to decrease after the oriental medical treatment. Especially, for both men and women, abnormally high triglyceride level decreased while the effect of lipid profile improvement for women was more significant compared to men.

Background & Object : It is well known that functional dyspepsia is one of the most common diseases. While many dyspepsia patients have been helped with oriental medical therapy, there has not been a study based on the concepts of oriental medicine. The aim of this study was to perform a fundamental epidemiological survey and to analyse the symptom pattern of functional dyspepsia. Methods : 86 patients(27 males, 59 females) diagnosed with functional dyspepsia in Kyunghee Oriental Medical Center from May to December 2002 were involved in this investigation. The disease characteristics of functional dyspepsia(based on Rome criteria II) and the Qui Xue Shui diagnostic procedure were investigated by questionnaire and physical examination. The total score and composition ratio of each comprehensive diagnosis were calculated from the symptom score described in the questionnaire. Results : The total score from the Qui Xue Shui diagnostic procedure was found to be influenced by the number of functional dyspepsia symptoms(p=0.026) and the patient's own cognition of their current dyspeptic situation(p=0.006), in addition to digestive ability and general congnition(p=0.006), and was not associated with sex, duration of dyspeptic symptoms in one year, or the total illness period, In the composition ratio of the Qui Xue Shui diagnostic procedure, only Qui-yu(p=0.048) diagnosis was accurate regarding the number of symptoms in one year, total illness period, or the patients' own congnition of their current dyspeptic situation, But the value of the composition ratio among the total factors involved was most similar to that of sex. Conclusions : Thus, it is shown here that the total score of using the Qui Xue Shui diagnostic procedure is mainly dependent on dyspeptic symptoms and the patinets' own cognition of their current dyspeptic situation, and that regular symptom patterns in the Qui Xue Shui diagnostic procedure exist in dyspeptic patients.
