Objectives This study was designed to development the diagnosis indicators for the fatigue group without disease using analysis of questionnaire data. Methods The subjects were divided into three groups, the fatigue group with disease, the fatigue group without disease, non-fatigue group without disease. Thirteen kinds of questionnaire (Fatigue visual analogue scale, Fatigue severity scale, Pain visual analogue scale, Short-form McGill pain questionnaire score, Headache impact Test-6, Neck disability index, Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire score, Blood stasis assessment scale, Physical activities questionnaire score, Beck depression inventory, Anger expression inventory score, Mood disability scale, Job stress scale) were carried out for the subjects. Results The results of this study are ; 1) The weight, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure were different among three groups. 2) Among nine questionnaires related to the physical or life conditions, the averages of eight questionnaires were not same one another. 3) Among four questionnaires related to the mental condition or autonomic nervous system, the averages of Beck depression inventory were not same one another. Conclusion The fatigue group without disease can be diagnosed through using the both the questionnaires related to the physical or life condition and the those related to the mental condition or autonomic nervous system.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of depression within two weeks after stroke. Methods : A total of 362 stroke patients were recruited. Depression (major and minor depressive disorders) was diagnosed by applying DSM-IV criteria. Data on socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, education, marital state, living state, religion, occupation, income, life event, and social support), stroke severity (NIHSS), disability (BI), stroke hemisphere and location, vascular risk and disease, and previous history of stroke and depression were obtained. Results : Depression was present in 90 (24.9%) patients: major depression 29 (8%) and minor depression 61 (16.9%) patients. In the univariate analyses, depression was associated with older age, higher number of stressful life event, poorer social support, severe disability, anterior stroke location, previous history of stroke and depression. In the multivariate analyses, depression was independently associated with higher number of stressful life events and poorer social support. Conclusion : Depression was common and was determined by premorbid levels of stress and social support in stroke patients at acute stage. More intensive psychiatric care and intervention is needed for the high risk group.

Popliteal artery injury in blunt trauma of knee joint is not common but poses high rate of amputation due to anatomical characteristics or delayed diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the present study is to review the authors' experiences with this condition and identify factors contributing to disability. We reviewed 7 cases of popliteal artery injury in trauma around knee. Injury mechanism, type of vessel damage, associated injuries, mangled extremity severity scores (MESS), ischemic time and additional treatments were analyzed. Tibial fracture, distal femoral fracture and serious soft tissue defect were combined. Mean MESS was 9.9 point and mean time of revascularization was 7.1 hours. Transfemoral amputation was performed in 2 cases due to vascular insufficiency and devastating infection, and 4 patients were able to walk without any support at the last follow up. Age, the severity of soft tissue injury, ischemic time and MESS are thought to be related to prognosis, and young patients with short ischemic time show best results, but authors experienced one exceptional case. We have to consider multiple factors related to the prognosis in popliteal artery injury with fractures around knee, and careful decision is needed regarding to early amputation.

Purpose: In this study an analysis was done of participants who were educated using a dental health program as compared to a control group who only used a booklet on the subject. The participants were elementary school children and the education focused on dental health knowledge, behavior, health belief, and self-efficacy. Methods: Sixth grade students from two different schools in D-city were assigned to an experimental group which was educated using a dental health program over five weeks and a control group which was educated with a dental care booklet. Results: The experimental group showed significant increases in knowledge, behavior, sensitivity, severity, benefit, belief, and self-efficacy indicating that the program was effective, but there were no significant differences in self-efficacy, sensitivity, severity, importance, or disability between the two groups. Significant differences between the groups were found for knowledge, behavior, and benefits regarding dental health. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that a dental health program for elementary school students is effective in increasing their knowledge and behavior regarding dental health but the lack of significant differences in several of the variables in this study may be related to the education provided to the control group using a booklet.

Background: There is an opinion that improper postures of the head and cervical spine are associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMDs). Objects: The aim of this study was to investigate the proportions among the cervical kyphotic angle, physical symptoms including the pain intensity level of the TMJ, and severity of TMD disability in patients diagnosed with TMD. Methods: Sixty-two subjects participated in the study. The evaluation tools included measurements of the cervical kyphotic angle based on the Ishihara index, pressure pain threshold (PPT) on the TMJ, maximal mouth opening (MMO) without pain, current pain intensity level of the TMJ measured using the Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale (QVAS), Korean TMD (KTMD) disability index, KTMD Symptom Frequency/Intensity Scales (SFS/SIS), and Korean Headache Impact Test-6. Correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the correlations between the cervical kyphotic angle and parameters related to TMJ symptoms. Results: Variables that were significantly correlated with the cervical kyphotic angle were the PPT around the TMJ (r = 0.259, p < 0.05), current pain intensity level of the TMJ based on the QVAS (r = -0.601, p< 0.01), and usual pain intensity level based on the SIS (r = -0.379, p < 0.01). The level of TMD functional disability was significantly correlated with the degree of headache (r = 0.551, p < 0.01), level of PPT of the TMJ (r = -0.383, p < 0.01), pain-free MMO (r = -0.515, p < 0.01), pain intensity level of the TMJ based on the QVAS (r = 0.393, p < 0.01), TMD symptom frequency (r = 0.739, p < 0.01), usual pain intensity of the TMJ (r = 0.624, p < 0.01), and most severe pain intensity of the TMJ (r = 0.757, p < 0.01). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the cervical kyphotic angle and PPT and a negative correlation between the current and usual pain intensity levels of the TMJ. The cervical kyphotic angle was a predictor of the pain level, tenderness threshold, and intensity of pain in the TMJ.

통증은 포괄적이고 생리적, 심리적, 사회적 복합현상이기 때문에 통증을 보다 잘 이해하고 더 나은 치료를 위해서는 환자의 삶의 질과 심리적 상태에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구는 비치성 구강안면통증 환자들이 느끼는 통증의 정도와 통증으로 인한 일상생활의 제한(pain interference)을 평가하고 심리적 요인과의 관련성을 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 성별 및 연령, 통증의 지속기간과 진단에 따른 차이를 함께 평가하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 3개월간 단국대학교 부속 치과병원 구강내과구강안면통증클리닉에 내원한 초진환자들 중에서 간이동통목록(Brief Pain Inventory, BPI)과 병원불안우울척도(Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS)의 두 가지 설문지에 답하고, 비치성 구강안면통증으로 진단받은 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들은 의사와의 첫 면담 전 대기실에서 설문지를 작성하도록 하였고, 작성 후에는 진료실에서 임상검사와 면담을 통해 진단을 내렸다. 총 163명의 환자들이 연구에 포함되었는데, 남녀비 1:1.5, 평균 연령 34.6세, 평균 통증지속기간 13.3개월이었다. 진단에 따라 삼차신경통군(Trigeminal Neuralgia group; TN), 신경병성동통군(Neuropathic Pain group; NeP), 만성안면통증군(Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain; PIFP), 턱관절장애군(TMD)으로 나누고 TMD는 저작근장애군(TMD-m), 관절장애군(TMD-j) 및 근육-관절 복합군(TMD-c)으로 세분하였다. 비치성 구강안면통증 환자들은 중등도의 통증과 중등도의 일상생활 제한을 보였다. 3개월 이상의 만성통증을 가진 환자들은 급성군에 비해 높은 수준의 불안과 우울척도를 보였다(p<0.05). TMD 환자들보다 삼차신경통, 만성안면통증 및 신경병성통증 환자들의 통증이 심하고 pain interference가 컸으며 불안과 우울척도도 높았다 (p<0.05). Pain interference는 통증의 강도과 강한 상관관계를 보였고 우울 및 불안척도와 중등도의 상관관계를 보였다 (p=0.000). 우울 및 불안척도는 통증의 강도와 약한 상관관계를 보였다 (p<0.05). 결론적으로 구강안면통증의 성공적인 치료를 위해서는 통증 자체의 조절뿐 아니라 통증으로 인한 심리적, 사회적 영향에 대한 평가와 심리사회적 측면에서의 지원(psychosocial support)가 필요함을 알 수 있다.

It is important to choose which approaches should be used to correct the fracture if the operation is indication for surgery in patients with orbital floor fracture. Transorbital, transantral, and endonasal approaches are methods for correcting the orbital floor fracture. The approach needs to be considered the location of the fracture, the degree, the severity of the fracture, the least remaining patient's disability, and preference of the surgeon. We report a case of orbital floor fracture using transorbital approach and endonasal catheter ballooning to resolve the limitations of transorbital approach alone.

To compare the treatment effects of back exercise on functional status, spinal mobility, SLR, pain severity, and treatment results satisfaction, and to determine whether spinal exercises during the low back pain reduces recurrent episodes of back pain. 1. Flexion and extension exercise groups did not differ in any outcome over 4weeks. After 1week, both exercise groups had reduced disability score, a higher proportion returning to work, and fewer subjects with a positive SLR compared with the control group. 2. There was no difference among groups regarding recurrence of low back pain after 6~12 months. 3. There was no difference for any outcomes between the flexion or extension groups. However, either exercise was slightly more effective than no exercise when patients with low back pain were treated.
