Continuous cervical epidural anesthesia with two different concentrations of bupivacaine had been performed in 43 cases for surgery of upper extremity and cervical spine. After the initial dose of 0.33% bupivacaine 15ml to Group I(n=22) and 0.5% bupivacaine 15ml to Group II(n=21) was injected respectively, we observed the circulatory and pulmonary functions to be changed, and evaluated the duration of those analgesic action. The number of spinal segment to be affected and the complications were checked. Statistical significance of changes after the initial dose in both groups was determined by student's t-test. All values are impresed as mean$\pm$1S.D.. The results were as follows: 1) Circulatory functions; Systolic B.P. and Pulse rate were decreased by 10~15torr and 5~6 beats per minute respectively between 10~30 minutes following the initial dose, which were statistically significant in both groups. 2) Pulmonary functions; The diminution of minute volume showed to 20% and a rise of $PaCO_2$ level to 5~6 torr respectively between 30~60 minutes following the initial dose, which were statistically significant in both groups. There were no significant changes in self respiration and respiratory rate in both groups. 3) The duration of analgesic action was $72.3{\pm}25.7$(min) in Group I and $83.5{\pm}28.5$(min) in Group II which was not statistically significant between two groups, and the number of affected spinal segment at ore hour following the Anesthusia was $8.7{\pm}2.0$ in Group I and $10.5{\pm}2.4$ in Group II which was statistically significant between two groups. 4) Complications; a. Hypotension(below 80torr in systolic pressure) was appeared in 5% of all patients. b. Bradycardia(below 60 beats per minutes) was appeared in 25% of all patients. c. Inadvertent dural puncture was developed in only one patient, In conclusion, the 0.33% bupivacaine as well as 0.5% bupivacaine were enough for those analgesic effect in the above mentioned surgery even though the duration of analgesic action was about 10 minutes shorter in Group I than that of Group II. The cardiopulmonary function was clinically rather stable in Group I than that of Group II. Therefore we thought 0.33% bupivacaine was satisfactory for the clinical practicality in the cervical epidural anesthesia.

Parkinson's syndrome is a degenerative brain disease that presents characteristic motor symptoms of tremor, rigidity, and gait disturbance. In addition to these motor symptoms, Parkinson's syndrome also presents non-motor symptoms (NMSs) such as sleep disturbance and cognitive decline. NMSs reduce patient's quality of life and psychosocial functioning and cause economic burden on the patient, so appropriate evaluation and treatment are required. Lewy body dementia is one of the several diseases belonging to Parkinson's syndrome. Its symptoms such as cognitive function, memory impairment, and hallucinations occur with Parkinsonism. Although drug therapy is being used with drug treatment to treat non-motor symptoms, it has limitations such as side effects, which stimulated interest in other complementary treatment methods such as oriental medicine treatment, dance, and yoga. The patient in this case complained of tremor in the right upper extremity, muscle hypertension and pain, and persistent vision, memory, and cognitive decline. The patient was diagnosed with probable Lewy body dementia. The patient was hospitalized for 4 months and received acupuncture and herbal medicines. After treatment, the patient's NMS scale scores decreased from 90 to 63, and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale scores (summed I, II, and III) decreased from 17 points to 8 points. The Beck Depression Inventory score decreased from 22 points to 13 points. In addition, the patient's subjective evaluation revealed improvement. In this case, a patient diagnosed with probable Lewy body dementia who did not respond to the standard treatment and did not want to take medications showed improvement in not only motor symptoms but also NMSs after integrative Korean medicine treatment.

본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자의 재활 중재에 대한 국내 메타분석 논문의 질을 평가하기 위하여 방법론적 질 평가도구인 AMSTAR-2의 적용하여 분석하였다. 분석된 연구의 질적 수준을 검증하고 근거 중심 실무의 질적 향상과 메타분석 연구를 위한 지침을 제공하고자 한다. 문헌검색은 학술연구정보서비스(Research Information Sharing Service, RISS), 한국 의학 논문 데이터베이스(Korean Medical database, KM base), 한국학술정보(Korean studies Information Service System, KISS)를 이용하였다. 검색을 위해서 주요 핵심어로 '뇌졸중' AND '메타분석'을 주제어로 하여 검색하였다. 최종 18편의 연구 중 AMSTAR-2 질 평가 결과 'Moderate'에 해당하는 연구는 3편(16.67%), 'Low'에 해당하는 연구는 8편(44.44%), 'Critically Low'에 해당하는 연구는 7편(38.89%)으로 나타났다. 향후 연구에서는 과학적이고 객관적인 데이터 선택 및 추출 과정을 수행하고, 문헌의 질적 향상을 위한 방안으로 본 연구에서 분석한 내용을 참고하여 메타분석 연구의 질적 향상을 위한 관심과 노력이 지속되기를 기대한다.

배경: 호흡재활치료는 만성 폐질환 환자들의 폐기능을 호전시키지는 못하나 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이러한 운동허용능이 증가하는 것이 유산소운동 능력 (aerobic exercise capacity)이 중가하기 때문인지는 논란이 있으며, 아직 국내에서 는 호흡재활치료에 대한 보고가 없었다. 방법: 14명의 만성 폐질환 환자(만성폐쇄성폐질환 11명, 유육종증 1명, 기관지확장증 1명, 특발성 폐섬유화증 1명, 평균 연령 $57{\pm}4$세, 남자 12명, 여자 2명)를 대상으로 6 주간의 호흡재활치료를 시행하여 치료 전후의 폐기능과 운동허용능의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 1) 대상 환자의 호흡재활치료 전 평균 노력성 폐활량(FVC), 1초간 노력성호기량($FEV_1$) 및 노력성 호기중간 기류량($FEF_{25-75%}$)은 각각 예측치의 $71.5{\pm}6.4%$, $40.6{\pm}3.4%$ 및 $19.3{\pm}3.8%$ 였으며, 총 폐용량(TLC), 기능적잔기용량(FRC) 및 잔기량(RV)은 각각 $130.3{\pm}9.3%$, $157.3{\pm}13.2%$ 및 $211.1{\pm}23.9%$이었고, 확산능(diffusing capacity) 및 최대 환기량(MVV)은 각각 $59.1{\pm}1.1%$ 및 $48.6{\pm}6.2%$이었다. 이들 각 폐기능의 지표들은 호흡재활치료 전후 유의한 변화는 없었다. 2) 자전거운동력측정계 (bicycle ergometer)를 이용한 운동부하 검사상 최대 운동량(maximum work rate)은 치료전 $57.7{\pm}4.9$ watts 에서 치료후 $64.8{\pm}6.0$ watts로(P=0.036), 최대산소섭취량($VO_2$ max)은 $0.81{\pm}0.07$ L/mm에서 $0.96{\mu}0.08$ L/mm로 (P=0.004), 무산소역치 (anaerobic threshold)는 $0.60{\pm}0.06$ L/mm 에서 $0.76{\mu}0.06$ L/min로(P=0.009) 호흡재활치료후 유의하게 증가하였다. 가스교환은 호흡재활치료 전후에 변화가 없었다. 3) 지구력시험 (endurance test)상 운동일(work)이 상지는 $4.5{\pm}0.7$ joule 에서 $14.8{\pm}2.4$ joule로 (P<0.001), 하지는 $25.4{\pm}5.7$ joule에서 $42.6{\pm}7.7$로 (P<0.001) 모두 재활치료 후 유의하게 증가하였다. 6분 보행거리는 $392{\pm}35$ 미터 에서 $459{\pm}33$ 미터로(P<0.001) 치료 후 연장되었고, 최대 흡기압도 $68.5{\pm}5.4$ $CmH_2O$에서 $80.4{\pm}6.4$ $CmH_2O$로 증가하였다(P<0.001). 결론: 만성 폐질환 환자에서 6주간의 호흡재활치료는 폐기능 및 가스교환을 호전시키지는 못하였지만 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 사료되었다.
