The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of CYP1A1 genetic polymorphisms with the risk of developing esophageal cancer (EC). A case-control study was carried out in a Chinese population in which 157 hospital based EC cases and 157 population based healthy controls with 1:1 match by age and sex were included. PCR based restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) were used to detect genotypes in case and control groups. For the CYP1A1 Ile/Val polymorphism, comparing with wild genotype Ile/Ile, both the heterozygote genotype Ile/Val and the combined variant genotype Ile/Val+Val/Val increased the risk of esophageal cancer (OR: 2.05, 95%CI: 1.19-3.54, OR: 1.86, 95%CI: 1.11-3.12). No significant association was found between the CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism and EC. According to analysis of combined genotypes, the TC/AG combined genotype which contained both variant alleles of these two polymorphisms increased the risk of developing EC (OR: 2.12, 95%CI: 1.16-3.85). Our results suggested that genetic polymorphisms of CYP1A1 may increase the susceptibility to EC.

Objectives: The research was aimed at analyzing the contents of university intranet for systematically execution of the healthy information provision and healthy consultation services from 2000 January to 2004 December. Methods: We have analyzed 300(28.3%) the instances of accomplished health consultation cases from the whole 1,059 instances which were the replied in a university intranet. Results: According to the contents of health consultation in ICPC code, a general symptom 91 cases(30.3%) was most, muscle-skeletal system 44 cases(14.7%), and digestive system 43 cases(14.3%) in order of cases of health counselling. The symptoms and complaint with 155 cases(51.7%) were most in the distribution of the health counselling contents by 17 charter of ICPC. The most common reason of counselling by 17 charter of ICPC were as follows; questions about the symptom and diagnosis(118 cases, 39.3%), the preventive and treatment methods(91 cases, 30.0%), and medical fee(20cases, 6.7%) in order. We mainly answer on the content of health counselling were as follows; make an offer of medical information and knowledge(48.3%), recommend visit clinic or hospital(23.7%), guide to treatment(12.7%), and so on. Conclusions: This research showed that the program of health counselling may not meet completely the high quality and adequate distribution of health counselling by the intranet in a university by content analysis. The finding suggests that health counselling by intranet in a university may be used to supplement of systemic improvement on the intranet Q/A format from current lack of essential health information and security for the quality of the health counselling.

Around the world, fermentation of foods has been adopted over many generations, primarily due to their commercial significance with enriched flavors and high-profile nutrients. The increasing application of fermented foods is further promoted by recent evidence on their health benefits, beyond the traditionally recognized effects on the digestive system. With recent advances in the understanding of gut-brain interactions, there have also been reports suggesting the fermented food's efficacy, particularly for cognitive function improvements. These results are strengthened by the proposed biological effects of fermented foods, including neuroprotection against neurotoxicity and reactive oxygen species. This paper reviews the beneficial health effects of fermented foods with particular emphasis on cognitive enhancement and neuroprotective effects. With an extensive review of fermented foods and their potential cognitive benefits, this paper may promote commercially feasible applications of fermented foods as natural remedies to cognitive problems.

Human health is affected by not only physical conditions but also mental and social well-being. Changes of human emotions show up as gestures, facial expressions and sweating. Human emotions are affected by such automatic nerve system functions as blood pressure, blood circulation speed, heart beats, pupillary reflex, fluid transfusion, muscular contraction and digestive organs, all of which influence the holistic diseases. The Oriental Medicine sees from a perspective of unity of divinity and men that human life activities are united in terms of their physical and mental functions. From such a perspective, human Five Organs are linked with Five Mental(五神) and Seven Emotions(七情), while they are affected by each other, influencing the life activities both directly and indirectly. Based on Confucianism, Sa-Sang Theory argues that human emotions can be categorized into four energy states and therefore, that human diseases and physiological conditions there of may be determined differently depending on the Four Energies(四氣). There seems to be some common points between Sa-Sang Theory and the conventional Oriental Medicine in that human emotions affect individuals' health conditions, so there seems to be much room for mutual complementation.

소화기계 Leakage환자 검사 시 Planar 영상만으로 담즙누출 및 출혈여부와 위치감별이 쉽지 않다. SPECT-CT를 이용하여 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 확인과 위치 감별을 통한 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 본원에 내원한 환자 중 담즙누출 의심 환자 8명 및 위장관출혈이 의심되는 환자 5명, 총 13명을 대상으로 Planar영상 획득 후 판독실요청에 따라 SPECT-CT를 진행했다. 장비는 SIEMENS사의 Symbia T16과 GE사의 Discovery 670을 사용했다. Planar 및 SPECT-CT 영상은 4명의 경험 있는 핵의학 의사에 의해 1~10점의 점수로 평가했다. 민감도 및 특이도를 이용하여 ROC 곡선에 의한 검사 평가를 시행했다. 최종 진단은 재수술 결과 및 추적 관찰을 통해 확인했다. SPECT-CT의 민감도, 특이도 및 정확도는 각각 91.7%, 100% 및 94.2%였다. Planar영상은 각 각 83.3%, 68.8% 및 78.8%였다. Planar영상은 SPECT-CT와 비교하여 낮은 진단 정확도를 보였다(78.8%, 94.2%, p<0.05). 또한 ROC곡선 분석에서 SPECT-CT의 진단 신뢰도는 Planar영상보다 유용한 결과를 나타냈다(p<0.05). SPECT-CT는 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 진단과 위치 감별에 민감도와 특이도가 높게 나타났다. Planar영상과 함께 SPECT-CT를 추가로 시행한다면 담즙누출 및 위장관출혈 환자의 진단과 위치 감별평가를 향상 시킬 것으로 사료된다. SPECT-CT는 다른 장기와의 중첩으로 진단이 어려울 경우 유용성이 있지만 추가적인 CT피폭에 대한 고려는 충분히 이루어져야 할 것이다.

캡슐내시경검사는 일반 내시경 검사에 비해 고통이 없고 합병증이 적다고 보고되어 있어 향후 지속적인 발전 가능성이 매우 큰 분야로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나, 캡슐내시경을 이용한 진단은 캡슐이 동일한 위치에 상주할 경우 반복적으로 촬영된 유사한 영상을 오래도록 관찰 하여야 하므로, 진단자로 하여금 막대한 시간적 비용을 발생하게 한다. 따라서 보다 현실적이고 실용적인 캡슐내시경 검사를 위한 효율적인 탐색 및 진단 방법으로써 캡슐내시경영상에 대한 지능형 탐색방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 지능형 판독보조 시스템은 영상차감을 통해 중복영상을 최소화한 후 프레임단위로 영상이 내포한 정보를 일차원도표(map)의 형태로 제공하고, 이러한 결과도표의 분석도구 및 방법을 제안함으로써 진단시간을 큰 폭으로 단축할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 즉, 비교연산 한 정규화된 교차상관(Normalized Cross-Correlation) 방법을 통해 전처리 된 인접영상에 대한 유사도를 추출하고, 설정된 임계값이상의 영상들만을 탐색 범위로 지정하여 중복 촬영된 영상의 탐색을 최소화 한다. 이외에도 영상간 유사도, 엔트로피와 명암도를 통해 얻어진 이동도표, 특성도표와 명암도표를 분석하여 효율적으로 사용자가 탐색을 원하는 부위에 대한 탐색밀도를 높이는 등의 다양한 진단 매뉴얼을 제시한다.
