Purpose: This study aimed to identify latent classes based on major modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease. Methods: This was a secondary analysis using data from the electronic medical records of 2,022 patients, who were newly diagnosed with coronary artery disease at a university medical center, from January 2010 to December 2015. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 for descriptive analysis and Mplus version 7.4 for latent class analysis. Results: Four latent classes of risk factors for coronary artery disease were identified in the final model: 'smoking-drinking', 'high-risk for dyslipidemia', 'high-risk for metabolic syndrome', and 'high-risk for diabetes and malnutrition'. The likelihood of these latent classes varied significantly based on socio-demographic characteristics, including age, gender, educational level, and occupation. Conclusion: The results showed significant heterogeneity in the pattern of risk factors for coronary artery disease. These findings provide helpful data to develop intervention strategies for the effective prevention of coronary artery disease. Specific characteristics depending on the subpopulation should be considered during the development of interventions.

간-폐 증후군이란 진행된 간경변을 가진 환자에서 폐혈관의 확장으로 인해 동맥혈 산소 포화도가 감소하는 것을 특징으로 한다. 간경화 환자에서 동맥 산소 포화도의 감소가 보고된 이후로 간-폐 증후군은 말기 간질환을 가진 성인의 13-47% 정도에서 발생한다고 보고하고 있으나, 소아에서 발생한 국내 보고는 없다. 또한 시상하부 및 뇌하수체 기능 저하를 보이는 환자에서 비알코올성 지방간이 급격하게 간부전으로 진행되는 증례가 최근에 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 지방간을 가진 소아에서 두개인두종 절제술 후에 발생한 뇌하수체기능저하증으로 인해 간질환이 급격하게 진행하여 간-폐 증후군으로 발현된 증례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 두부 수술 후에 시상하부 및 뇌하수체 기능 저하를 보이는 환아에서는 내분비 질환이나 대사 장애 뿐 아니라, 간질환에 대한 추적 관찰이 필요할 것이다.

배경: 기저폐질환이 없이 늑막하 폐기포의 파열에 의해 발생되는 원발성 자연 기흉 환자들과는 달리, 이차성 자연 기흉 환자들은 다양한 기저폐질환을 가지고 있으며, 재발의 빈도나 그에 따른 치료방침이 다르다. 본 연구는 이차성 자연기흉으로 입원치료를 시행한 환자들에 대하여 재발의 빈도 및 양상, 그리고 치료방법에 대한 결과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2005년 3월부터 2007년 3월까지 초발한 이차성 자연기흉 환자 85명을 대상으로 치료방법, 재발양상, 재발에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대하여 후향적으로 의무기록을 분석하였다. 결과: 이차성 자연기흉의 기저질환으로는 폐결핵이 49.4%로 가장 많았으며, 만성폐쇄성 폐질환이 27.6%였다. 평균 $21.1{\pm}6.7$개월($0{\sim}36$개월)의 추적기간 동안 40명의 환자가 재발하여 재발율은 47.1%였으며, 3회 재발율은 10.9%, 4회 재발율은 3.5%였다. 재발기간은 1년이내 재발한 경우가 70.5%였다 치료 성공율은 흥강삽관술만으로 47.6%, 흉관을 통한 흉막유착술 74.4%, 기낭절제수술 71%, Heimlich도관거치 50%로 흉막유착술의 성공율이 가장 높았다. 재발에 영향을 미치는 인자는 7일 이상의 공기누출이었다(p=0.002). 결론: 초발한 이차성 자연기흉 환자에서 7일 이상 공기뉴출이 되는 경우는 재발의 위험성이 높았다. 흉막유착술은 이차성 기흉환자의 재발방지에 유용한 치료방법이나, 앞으로 보다 많은 환자들을 대상으로 표준화된 치료지침의 개발이 필요하겠다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate factors influencing the Framingham risk score-Coronary heart disease (FRS-CHD) according to gender and body mass index (BMI) of adults who participated in the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V-3). Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with secondary analysis with KNHANES V-3. The FRS-CHD scores were measured with ages, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, smoking, and diabetes mellitus. With demographic characteristics, family history of ischemic heart disease, types (intensity) and days of physical activities, perceived stress, drinking, menopause (in female), and BMI scores were measured. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regressions. Results: FRS-CHD was significantly associated with types (intensity) and days of physical activities, educational level, occupation, and marital status, explaining 19.1~76.8% of the variance in men. FRS-CHD was significantly associated with types (intensity) and days of physical activities, menopause, and education level, explaining 55.0~59.5% of the variance in women. Conclusion: Factors influencing FRS-CHD were significantly different according to gender and BMI. To reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, it is necessary to develop gender-specific physical activity programs according to BMI.

The authors report a case of atypical extraventricular neurocytoma (EVN) transformed from EVN which had been initially diagnosed as an oligodendroglioma 15 years ago. An 8-year-old boy underwent a surgical resection for a right frontal mass which was initially diagnosed as oligodendroglioma. When the tumor recurred 15 years later, a secondary operation was performed, followed by salvage gamma knife treatment. The recurrent tumor was diagnosed as an atypical EVN. The initial specimen was reviewed and immunohistochemistry revealed a strong positivity for synaptophysin. The diagnosis of the initial tumor was revised as an EVN. The patient maintained a stable disease state for 15 years after the first operation, and was followed up for one year without any complications or disease progression after the second operation. We diagnosed an atypical extraventricular neurocytoma transformed from EVN which had been initially diagnosed as an oligodendroglioma 15 years earlier. We emphasize that EVN should be included in the differential diagnosis of oligodendroglioma.

The epidemiology of plant disease deals with the dynamic processes of host-pathogen interactions, which determine the prevalence and severity of the disease. Epidemic processes for most foliar diseases of plants follow a series of steps: arrival of pathogens on plant surfaces, initial infection, incubation period, latent period, sporulation, dissemination of secondary inoculum, and infectious period. These complex biological processes are influenced by the environment-Man also often interfers with these processes by altering the host and pathogen populations and the environment. Slowing or halting any of the epidemic processes can delay the development of the epidemic, so that serious losses in yield due to disease do not occur. It is generally recognized that the most effective and efficient method of minimizing disease damage is through the use of resistant cultivars, particularly when other methods such as fungicide applications are not economically feasible-Populations of plant pathogens are not genetically uniform nor are they necessarily stable. Cultivars bred for resistance to current populations of a pathogen may not be resistant in the future due to selection pressures placed on the pathogen populations. Understanding population development and genetic variability in the pathogen, and knowledge of the genetics of resistance in the plant should help in developing breeding strategies that wi1l provide effective and stable disease control through genetic resistance. In the United States, soybeans have ranked first in value of crops sold off the farm in recent years. Soybeans have been the leading U. S.

The condition contrary to the physiological conditions obtained by the normal functioning of seven constituents of the body is defined as disease. The primary causes of the disease are emotional defilements of desire, hatred and delusion. The secondary causes of diseases are seasonal climatic changes, the agency of harmful demons, and improper diet or conduct. Once a disease occurs, it brings the disfunctioning of the three humors of wind, bile, and phlegm. Therefore all the disease should be examined and determined which of theses three humors effect its nature the most. There are five main techniques of external therapy, namely bloodletting, which extract the impure blood produced by disease of heat; moxibustion, which debilitates cold diseases, medicinal compresses, fomentation, massage with ointment, and minor surgery. Among these, the former three are the mild treatment and the latter three the severe ones because of the pain the patient has to suffer during the whole procedure.
