감마나이프 방사선수술(GKRS)의 핵심 목표는 병변에 처방 등선량 표면의 일치성을 최대화하고 병변 주변부 정상 조직의 방사선 효과를 최소화하는 것이다. 일치성 지표, 적용 범위, 선택성, 빔-온 시간, 기울기 지표(GI), 일치성/기울기 지표(CGI)와 같은 치료계획의 질과 관련된 다양한 종류의 지표들이 존재한다. 이 가운데 최상의 치료계획 평가 도구로서 우리는 일치성 지표, GI 및 CGI를 반드시 확인해야 한다. 특히 건강한 정상조직의 합병증과 관련된 GI 및 CGI는 일치성 지표보다 더욱더 중요하게 여겨진다. 그래서 저자는 치료계획 시스템 렉셀 감마플랜(LGP) 및 검증 방법 가변 타원체 모형화 기술(VEMT)을 사용하여 광범위하게 적용되고 있는 GI 뿐 만 아니고 CGI, 새로이 정의된 일치성/기울기 지표를 계산하고 통계적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구는 GKRS로 치료받은 두개 내 병변을 가진 10명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 저자는 단지네 인자들: 처방 등선량 체적, 최대 선량의 30% 이상 체적, 병변 체적, 처방 등선량 절반의 체적 만을 가지고 LGP와 VEMT를 이용해서 지표를 계산했다. 모든 데이터는 두 가지 다른 측정기법을 비교하는데 사용되는 통계적 방법인 Paired t-test로 분석되었다. 10명의 사례에서 LGP와 VEMT 사이에 GI의 통계적 유의성은 관찰되지 않았다. GI의 차이는 -0.14에서 0.01 사이의 범위였다. LGP와 VEMT의 두 가지 방법으로 계산된 새롭게 정의된 기울기 지표 또한 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 저자는 LGP와 VEMT 사이에 처방 등선량 체적에 대한 통계적 차이를 발견하지 못했다. 최상의 치료계획을 결정하기 위한 또 하나의 평가 지표인 CGI도 통계적으로 유의하지 않았고 CGI의 차이는 -4에서 3까지 이었다. 똑같이 GKRS에 적합하게 새로이 정의된 일치성/기울기 지표도 통계 분석을 통해서 치료계획 평가를 위한 훌륭한 측정 기준으로 여겨진다. 통계분석 결과 VEMT는 GKRS에서 최상의 치료계획을 평가하기 위해 GI, 새로운 기울기 지표, CGI 및 새로운 CGI를 고려했을 때 LGP와 우수한 일치를 보였다. 저자는 LGP 및 VEMT를 통해서 빠르고 쉬운 평가도구의 적용성으로 인하여 GI 뿐 만 아니라 CGI와 새로이 정의된 CGI가 널리 사용되기를 기대한다.

This study investigates the utility of the Triglyceride-glucose(TyG) index and Cardiometabolic Index(CMI) as predictors for diagnosing metabolic syndrome. The study involved 1970 males, 1459 females, totaling 3429 participants who underwent health checkups at P Hospital in Busan between January 2023 and June 2023. Metabolic syndrome diagnosis was based on the presence of 3 or more risk factors out of the 5 criteria outlined by the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute(AHA/NHLBI), and participants with 2 or fewer risk factors were categorized as normal. Statistical analyses included independent sample t-tests, chi-square tests, Pearson's correlation analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC) curve analysis, and logistic regression analysis, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS) program. Significance was established at p<0.05. The comparison revealed that the metabolic syndrome group exhibited attributes such as advanced age, male gender, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures, high blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, reduced LDL-C, elevated HDL-C, higher Cardiometabolic Index, Triglyceride-glucose index, and components linked to abdominal obesity. Pearson correlation analysis showed strong positive correlations between waist circumference/height ratio, waist circumference, Cardiometabolic Index, and triglycerides. Weak positive correlations were observed between LDL-C, body mass index, and Cardiometabolic index, while a strong negative correlation was found between Cardiometabolic Index and HDL-C. ROC analysis indicated that the Cardiometabolic Index(CMI), Triglyceride-glucose(TyG) index, and waist circumference demonstrated the highest Area Under the Curve(AUC) values, indicating their efficacy in diagnosing metabolic syndrome. Optimal cut-off values were determined as >1.34, >8.86, and >84.5 for the Cardiometabolic Index, Triglyceride-glucose index, and waist circumference, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed significant differences for age(p=0.037), waist circumference(p<0.001), systolic blood pressure(p<0.001), triglycerides(p<0.001), LDL-C(p=0.028), fasting blood sugar(p<0.001), Cardiometabolic Index(p<0.001), and Triglyceride-glucose index (p<0.001). The odds ratios for these variables were 1.015, 1.179, 1.090, 3.03, and 69.16, respectively. In conclusion, the Cardiometabolic Index and Triglyceride-glucose index are robust predictive indicators closely associated with metabolic syndrome diagnosis, and waist circumference is identified as an excellent predictor. Integrating these variables into clinical practice holds the potential for enhancing early diagnosis and prevention of metabolic syndrome.

Objective : The purpose of this clinical research was to analyze the correlation between disease severity and disease specific quality of life adjusted by general quality of life measure in adult patients with atopic dermatitis attending Wonkwang Univ. Sanbon Oriental Medical Center. Methods : A total of 35 patients participated in atopic dermatitis clinical trial from June 1st, 2010 to June 30th, 2011 were included in this study. SCORing Atopic Dermatitis(SCORAD) index, Dermatologic Life Quality Index(DLQI), Health Utility Index III(HUI-III) and EuroQoL 5-Dimension(EQ-5D) have been estimatied. Baseline statistical analysis and normality test were done by using Student t-test, Shapiro-Wilk test and ladder test. Pearson analysis and Spearman analysis were conducted to examined the correlation of each variables. Hierachial regression analysis was performed using related variables. Statistical significance was achieved if the probability was less than 5%. Results : There were statistically significance between DLQI and SCORAD index, and also between DLQI and EQ-5D. However there was no significant between DLQI and HUI-III. In the hierachial regression analysis, after adjusting for demographic variables (gender, age) and general quality of life (EQ-5D), SCORAD index significantly predict the intensity of disease specific quality of life (DLQI). Conclusions : We confirmed the correlation between SCORAD index and DLQI, and developed the inference for regression equation of DLQI using SCORAD index, EQ-5D and demographic variables.

This study showed that the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by the coparenting. Participants consisted of 329 grandmothers who were rearing preschool aged grandchildren in the Seoul and Gyeonggido area. SPSS 23.0 performed descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis. The structural equation model was estimated with AMOS 23.0. Parameters were estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Model fit index used the chi-square statistic, the goodness of fit index (GFI), the Turker-Lewis index (TLI), the comparative fit index (CFI), the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The mediation effect analysis followed a two-step verification process; direct and indirect effect. In addition, statistical significance of the indirect effect was examined using a bootstrapping procedure. The results are as follows. First, a positive correlation was found between the grandmother-mother relationship, grandmother-grandchildren ties, and coparenting. Second, the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by coparenting. The results of this study suggest that the quality of the grandmother's relationship with mothers and cooperative coparenting is important to building relationships with grandchildren. In addition, coparenting can be an important mechanism for grandmother-mother relationships and grandmother-grandchild ties. Based on the results of this study, we discussed ways to improve the grandmothers' relationship quality with the mother and strengthen parenting ability.
