Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diagnostic components in adult women. Methods: The subjects of this study were 12,016 women that were aged twenty years or older and underwent an annual health check-up for National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) from 2009 to 2013. Data including blood pressure, waist circumstance, fasting glucose, triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were received from the NHIS. This data was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$-test, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diagnostic components increased with age. In the five diagnostic components of the metabolic syndrome, the prevalence of low HDL-C was highest in 20s to 40s. The prevalence of high blood pressure was highest in the people aged fifty or older. The risk of metabolic syndrome in 2013 was higher in women with abnormal diagnostic component of metabolic syndrome in 2009 and highest in women with abnormal waist circumstance in 2009. Conclusion: There was a need to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome components according to age. Education on metabolic syndrome was required for those that had one or two abnormal diagnostic components. The risk of abdominal obesity related to metabolic syndrome needs to be emphasized. Moreover the education for management of abdominal obesity also needs to be emphasised.

허리 안정화 근육들을 강화하기 위해 실시하는 복부 드로우인 기법(ADIM)은 복부내압을 상승시켜 배가로근(TrA)과 배속빗근(IO)을 선택적으로 수축시키는 운동법이다. 본 연구는 일상생활에서 많이 사용하는 자세인 앉은 자세에서 ADIM을 실시했을 때 파악력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 정상 성인 30명을 대상으로 앉은 자세에서 ADIM을 실시하도록 한 후 실시하지 않은 상태와 실시한 상태에서 각각 파악력을 측정하여 앉은 자세에서 실시한 ADIM이 파악력에 미친 영향과 가장 많은 영향을 발휘하는 근육이 있는지 알아보았다. 측정에 동원된 근육은 RA, EO, IO/TrA, 그리고 ES로 ADIM 적용 시 가장 활성화된다고 알려진 허리 안정화 근육들이다. 연구 결과 앉은 자세에서 실시한 ADIM이 실시하지 않은 자세 보다 모든 근육들의 활성도가 유의하게 증가하였으며 파악력 또한 유의하게 증가하였다. 측정된 각 근육의 차이값을 비교해 어떤 근육이 파악력에 더 큰 영향을 알아보았으나 유의한 상관관계를 나타낸 근육은 보이지 않았다. 이는 특정 근육이 파악력에 영향을 미친 것이 아니라 복부내압의 증가가 파악력에 영향을 미친 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 앉아서 오랜 시간 생활하는 일반인들의 일상생활에 파악력 증가와 허리 안정성 향상을 위한 치료적 중재방법에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 제안할 수 있겠다.

Real time driver's respiration monitoring method for detecting driver's drowsiness is investigated. The sensor to obtain driver's respiration signal was a piezoelectric pressure sensor attached at the abdominal region of the seat belt. The resistance of the pressure sensor was changed according to the pressure applied to the seat belt due to the driver's respiration. Monitoring driver's respiration was carried out by driving on the virtual road in a driving simulator from Cheonan to Seoul and monitoring results were compared to the PELCLOS. Experiment results show that the driver's respiration signal can be used for detecting driver's drowsiness.

To improve abdominal muscles strengthening, double straight leg lowering (DSLL) has been widely used in physical therapy, fitness program, and athletic program. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the lumbar stabilization maneuver with a pressure biofeedback unit on the muscle activity of rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), and internal oblique (IO) during DSLL. Fourteen healthy young men were recruited from university population. The electromyography (EMG) activity was recorded from the RA, EO, and IO of both sides. The normalized EMG activity was compared using a paired t-test. The study showed that EMG activity in the RA, EO, and IO was significantly higher during DSLL with lumbar stabilization (DSLL-LS) compared to performed DSLL (p<.05). These results suggest that DSLL-LS is recommended as an effective method for strengthening exercise for the abdominal muscles.

An 11-year-old spayed female maltese was presented for abdominal distention, dysuria and dyschezia. Panting and heart murmur was found and abdominal palpation was difficult due to increased abdominal pressure. A soft tissue mass, $6{\times}3cm$ in size, was identified radiographically in pelvic canal, displacing the descending colon to the medioventral direction and the urinary bladder cranially. On ultrasonography, the mass consisted of homogeneous hypoechoic parenchyma containing the focal hyperechoic region ($1.6{\times}1.5cm$). The mass had distinct margin and no connection with adjacent organs. It was considered as a mass originating from the retroperitoneal cavity. Additional diagnostic procedures were not advanced because of the owner's request, and only a surgical excision of the mass was performed to alleviate the dysuria and dyschezia. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry determined the mass as a soft tissue sarcoma and excluded hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma, both are the most common types of the retroperitoneal tumors. This report described non-vascular soft tissue sarcoma originating from the retroperitoneal cavity in a maltese dog.

Hemodynamic features of blood flow in the abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) are very important, because they are closely related with the rupture of aneurysm to death. It has been considered that the wall shear stress of blood flows influences the formation, growth, and rupture of AAA. On this account, it is important to understand the flow structure of blood in the aneurysm. In this study, the whole velocity field information inside a typical AAA was measured using an in vitro AAA model under the pulsatile flow condition. The vessel geometry was reconstructed based on the computerized tomography (CT) data of a patient. The AAA model was made by using a rapid prototyping (RP) method, based on the reconstructed vessel geometry. Velocity fields in the AAA model were measured at different pulsatile phases using a PIV (particle image velocimetry) system. As experimental results, a large-scale vortex is formed inside the AAA model and the vortices located near the AAA wall are supposed to increase the local pressure and wall shear stress. In this study, the AAA wall stress found to be was one of the most important governing parameters giving rise to the ruptured aneurysm.

This study investigated the correlations and risk distribution differences between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the diagnosis factors of metabolic syndrome among the residents of a rural community. Two thousand adults aged from 40 to 70 were recruited and 1,968 subjects were included in the study after excluding those with infectious disease or with hs-CRP higher than 10 mg/L in blood. The subjects were then divided into three groups of hs-CRP to examine the correlations and risk ratio with the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. There was a tendency of hs-CRP increasing according to the number of risk factors of metabolic syndrome. The risk ratio with hs-CRP according to metabolic syndrome significantly increased by 2.0 and 2.2 times in the intermediate and high risk group, respectively, compared with the low risk group. The risk ratio with the risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to hs-CRP rose in abdominal obesity, triglyceride, and W/Ht in the intermediate risk group of hs-CRP. The risk ratio also surged in high pressure, W/Ht, ex-drinking (1.7 times), exsmoking (2.0 times) and current smoking (2.0 times) in the high risk group. The results indicate that hs-CRP is related to the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and that it's very important to manage obesity including abdominal obesity and W/Ht and everyday habits including drinking and smoking.

Purpose: The survey-based study aimed to determine the distribution and clustering tendency of metabolic syndrome risk factors in urban residents, and cluster odds ratios. Methods: Cluster sampling involved 827 urban participants and analysis of the collected data. Results: Regarding the prevalence of metabolic syndrome risk factors used for diagnosis, abdominal obesity was higher in women(69.5%) than in men(34.3%), high blood pressure was higher in men(57%) than in women(46.5%), and blood sugar was higher in men(6.9%) than in women(5.7%). Clustering increased with increasing body mass index(BMI), weight:height ratio(W/Ht) and abdominal obesity Risk factors for females were 1.7 times higher than for males. Participants with a family history of metabolic syndrome displayed related risk factors 1.5 times more than participants without a family history. Participants having a BMI ranking them as obese were 9.5 times more likely to display metabolic syndrome risk factors than non-obese participants. Obese participants were 20 times more likely to display risk factors than non-obese participants. Conclusion: BMI, W/Ht and abdominal obesity correlate with clustering of metabolic syndrome risk factors. The risk is increased by smoking and family history. Exercise weight control and non-smoking are recommended for comprehensive management of clustering of metabolic syndrome risk factors.
