  • 만성 피로증후군은 인지능력 감소, 근골격 및 수면 장애증상을 가지며 심한 피로감을 특징으로 하는 증상군을 말한다. 아직 명확한 진단기법이나 확립된 표식자가 없으며, 타질환을 배제한 후 증상기준에 따라 진단하고 있다. 병태생리도 명확한 인과관계가 증명되지 않고 있으며 치료 역시 환자의 증상개선과 삶의 질 향상을 목표로 여러 방법을 동원하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 대조군과 비교한 많은 연구들에서 중추신경계, 신경호르몬 조절 시스템 및 만성 면역 활성 등의 이상이 보고되고 있으며, 이러한 결과들을 근거로 현재 다양한 치료방법이 동원되고 있다. 또한 이 증후군은 가족력의 가능성이 크므로 향후 유전 및 환경적 요인에 관한 연구가 활발해질 것으로 보인다. 대부분의 환자들은 우울증이나 범불안 장애 등을 동반하고 있으며, 이들이 병태생리와 관련 있을 가능성도 크다고 볼 수 있다. 결론적으로 이 증후군은 개인의 유전적 요소에 생리학적, 정신적 요인과 더불어 영양, 생활습관, 스트레스, 호르몬 등의 다양한 요인들이 복합적으로 상호 작용하여 만성적인 피로감과 다양한 증상을 나타내는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 환자-의사간 긴밀한 관계를 바탕으로 약물 및 비약물요법과 인지요법, 단계적 운동요법 등 효과가 인정된 치료방법을 꾸준히 사용하면 증상개선과 삶의 질 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 생각한다.

  • This study was conducted to provide a counterplan for preventing so celled “plastic house syndrome” revealed among farmers spending much time in the plastic houses. For this, working environment inside a plastic house was observed. Then, experiments were carried out mostly in a climatic chamber with three kinds of working posture on uneven($D_1-F_1$) or even($D_2-F_2$) ground surface. Tested work loads with three kinds of working posture were : moving in a sitting posture with attaching breast to legs and waving arms ($A_1$), moving in a bending posture with waving arms ($B_1$), and moving a 6kg weighting luggage in a standing posture ($C_1$) Physiological responses in the workers to three different work loads were observed in a climatic chamber, with or without using some instruments, to evaluate work efficiencies. The results obtained are summerized as follows. 1. $C_1$ was the hardest work and $B_1$ was harder than $A_1$ on the even ground. 2. Worker's physiological fatigue and physical loads remarkably decreased when using the instruments such as a chair and a cart with some rollers on the even ground. 3. Working with pushing a cart($F_1$) was the hardest work, and standing($D_1$) was harder than walking($E_1$) on the uneven ground. 4. Worker's physiological fatigues and physical loads remarkably decreased on the even ground. 5. Similar results were obtained when the same experiment was carried out in a plastic house.

  • This study investigated the relationship between drinking and health factors including vaso-aging degree, stress index, stress resistance, fatigue and activity of autonomic nerve system etc. The subjects were 20,925 persons who had received health examination by Korean Medicine and submitted questionnaires about drinking history, for 8 months from March to November. The vaso-aging degree were measured by APG (Accelerated Photoplethysmograph). The stress index and resistance, fatigue and activity of autonomic nerve system were measured by HRV (Heart Rate Variability). We analyzed the relationship between drinking and various variables by chi-square test with SPSS ver. 19.0. Regarding the relationship between drinking and vaso-aging degree, there was significant differences(p<0.05). But regarding the relationship between drinking and the other factors, there were no statistically differences. This study suggests that the vaso-aging degree is affected by drinking alcohol.

  • Objective: This study describes the change of operator performance in drastic change of illumination level, and proposes an alternative method to cope with it. Background: The control standard of illumination for nuclear power plants(NPPs) is based on the set of limit criteria for maintaining a specific illumination level. However, there is a possibility to cause human errors according to the psychological and physiological influences to operators in the situation of drastic change of illumination such as SBO(Station Black Out), so a basic study is necessary to review the current approach. Method: We assessed the visual fatigue, subjective work load and task performance according to the three illumination situations(Normal Illumination, Emergency Illumination, and Drastic Change of Illumination). Result: Research finding shows that there are not significant differences in task performance between normal illumination (1,000lx level) and emergency illumination (100lx level), only if beyond the dark adaptation limit. However, subjective work load on mental demand and visual fatigue show a potential challenge to visual performance in drastic change of illumination. Conclusion/Application: Several trials can complement this challenge in NPPs by applying 3-way communication, enhancing readability of procedures, and managing the visual factors affecting the operators' performance through a Visual Environment Management Program including visual health aspects, etc.

  • Fire service personnel and ambulance paramedics suffer musculoskeletal disorders as they lift and carry patients while performing Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The objective of the current study was performed to examine the association between working environment and musculoskeletal disorders of 119 paramedics and to analysis the EMS activities for them through basic survey (including task characteristics, risk factors, symptoms and illnesses). Observational job analysis of EMS activities indicated the squatting posture during first-aid performed on floor and the abrupt use of force during carrying heavy load including stretcher with patients on as hazard factors, and excessive low back twisting and bending during stairway transfer was observed. In addition, work-physiological assessment revealed various but rather high lumbar muscle usage rate among the study subjects, being 14.6~32.8% compared with Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) during patients transfer work. Resting heart rate showed 65/min, on the other hand, heart rate on mobilization indicated maximum 124~156/min. Therefore, the results of analysis to the EMS activities, rescuer activities and medical tasks were accompanied with high possibility of accident and musculoskeletal disorders. Also, EMS activities indicated high muscle fatigue and energy consumption, and accumulated muscle fatigue with during continued work.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing symptom experience in patients with liver cirrhosis(LC). Method: A descriptive correlational study design was used. A convenience sample of 129 subjects was recruited from the gastroenterology department at two university hospitals in Seoul, Korea. Symptom experience in LC was measured with the instrument developed by the researcher based on Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms(Lenz et al, 1995) and the Child-Pugh Score, the Korean version of Profile of Mood States, and the Family Support Questionnaire were used to identify the factors influencing symptom experience. Results: The mean score of symptom experience was relatively low(M=41.67, SD= 24.71). Among individual symptoms, fatigue had the highest score in all dimensions. Fatigue, abdominal distension and/or peripheral edema, muscle cramps, dry mouth, and change in appearance were explored as symptoms needing management. In the regression analysis, symptom experience was found to be influenced significantly by anxiety/depression($R^2=.418$, p=.000) and the severity of LC(Child-Pugh Score)($R^2=.125$, p=.000). These variables explained 54.3% of the variance in symptom experience(F=63.607. p=.000). Conclusion: It suggests that nurses need to take into consideration psychological factor as well as physiological factor in symptom management for patients with LC.

  • To evaluate whole-body vibration(WBV) exposure and fatigue-decreased proficiency(FDP) boundary in passenger car driver, several roads in Busan were divided into 3 types by the condition of road surface; Road 1 was partially damaged, Road 2 was normal without damage, and Road 3 was better than Road 2. The results were following: The highest passenger driver's exposures to whole-body vibration acceleration and fatigue-decreased proficiency boundary at 40km/h were 0.108m/s² and about 2099 minutes in Road 2 for xh axis, 0.134m/s² and about 1585 minutes in Road 2 for yh axis, and 0.183m/s² and about 1053 minutes in Road 2 for zh axis, respectively. The highest passenger driver's exposures to whole-body vibration acceleration and fatigue-decreased proficiency boundary at 80km/h were 0.219m/s² and about 830 minutes in Road 3 xh axis, 0.203m/s² and about 918 minutes in Road 3 for yh axis, and 0.622m/s² and about 195 minutes in Road 1 for zh axis, respectively. The highest vector sums of whole-body vibration exposure at 40km/h and 804km/h were 0.328m/s² in Road 2 and 0.730m/s² in Road 1, respectively. The highest crest factors at 40km/h were 4.25 in Road 1 for xh, 4.51 in Road 3 for yh, and 5.81 in Road 2 for zh, respectively. The highest crest factors at 80km/h were 5.57 in Road 1 for xh, 5.60 in Road 2 for yh, and 6.46 in Road 3 for zh, respectively. The highest transmissibilities of whole-body vibration from floor to seat at 40km/h and 80km/h were 0.89 in Road 3 and 0.82 in Road 3 for xh axis, 0.83 in Road 3 and 0.87 in Road 1 and 2 for yh, and 0.80 in Road 2 and 0.92 in Road 1 tor zh axis, respectively. The highest fatigue-decreased proficiency boundaries for whole-body vibration exposure of passenger car driver in floor and seat were 457 minutes in Road 3 and 583 minutes in Road 3 at 40km/h and 159 minutes in Road 2 and 251 minutes in Road 2 at 80km/h, respectively.

  • To find the cause, pathology, oriental presciptions for SLE(systemic lupus erythematous) in the field of oriental medicine, we studied the clinical reports. The results were obtained as follows: 1. SLE can' be thought to be a category of chronic fatigue, numbness, yang poison' & erythema. 2. The chief cause of SLE could be a febrile poison and the lack of physiological fluid and the mechanism was that febrile poison attacted area of circulation and blood and injuried the physiological fluid to arise edema and clotted blood. 3. The therapy of SLE was chiefly clarifying heat and toxiciding in acute stage while reinforcing kidney and liver and supplementing Yin & clarifying in chronic stage, sometimes supplementing Qi, eliminating clotted blood, excuding wind and draining water could be applied. 4. The therapy for SLE nephritis was shown to be increasing yin and clarifying heat with toxiciding, reinforcing spleen and kidney, draining water, supplementing yin & Qi etc. The chief prescriptions were Seogakjihwangtang(犀角地黃湯), Wookakjihwangtang(牛角地黃湯), yeechihwan(二至丸), Daepowonjeon(大補元煎), Daepoeumhwan(大補陰煎), Kikukjihwangtang(杞菊地黃湯), Yookmijihwangtang(六味地黃湯) which indicates Rhemanniae radix added prescrition could be used chiefly for the treatment of SLE.
