식물성 에스트로겐은 내분비계에서 생성되지 않고 식물성 에스트로겐 식물을 먹음으로써 소비되는 유사에스트로겐이다. "식이 에스트로겐"으로도 불리는 식물성 에스트로겐은 자연적으로 발생하는 다양한 식물성 화합물 그룹이며, 에스트로겐과 구조적인 유사성 때문에 갱년기 증상을 감소시킴으로써 건강 증진에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 식물성 에스트로겐을 고삼, 석류, 칡으로부터 초음파공정을 이용하여 추출하였다. 다양한 초음파세기와 추출시간에서 식물성 에스트로겐의 추출 양을 비교하였다. 이로부터 얻은 결과는 천연물과 관련된 생화학적 연구에 기본적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This study was desingned to investigate the relationships between bone mineral density(BMD) of the lumbar spine($L2\rightarrowL4$) and menopausal symptoms, health conciousness, bone health status, activity intensity, preference of food saltiness in 41 postmenopausal women. Lumbago was main menopausal symptom, and BMD of the subjects with lumbago was significantly low compared with BMD of the subjects without lumbago(p<0.01). BMD of the subjects who felt healthy was significantly higher than BMD of them who felt inbetween or weak(p<0.05). BMD of the subjects who had good bone status of the lumbar spine was significantly higher than BMD of them who had bent lumbar spine or experienced bone fracture(p<0.001). BMD of the subjects who were active was significantly higher than BMD of them whose activity was moderate or sedentary(p<0.05). BMD of the subjects who preferred very insipid taste was significantly high compared with BMD of them who preferred insipid, moderate or salty taste, and BMD of the subjects who preferred very salty taste was significantly low(p<0.01). This study suggested that decrease of BMD of the lumbar spine was significantly related to lumbago, bone fracture and bent lumbar spine. And when they were active and not preferred salty taste, bone loss of the lumbar spine was decreased.

연구목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 생식 노화 연령 연구(stages of reproductive aging workshop : STRAW)의 분류에 따른 초기와 후기 폐경후기에서의 폐경기 증상의 특징을 살펴보고 폐경기 증상의 심각도에 영향을 미치는 위험 요인들을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상 및 방법 : 서울, 경기지역에 거주하는 비임상 표본인 41~59세의 497명의 자연폐경이 된 폐경후기 여성을 대상으로 초기 폐경후기 군과 후기 폐경후기 군으로 구분하였다. 삶의 질의 평가를 위해 폐경평가척도(menopause rating scale : MRS)가 사용되었다. MRS 점수, 인구사회학적 특징, 흡연, 음주 여부, 폐경 연령과 폐경에 대한 태도, 우울감, 월경 전 불쾌장애 병력 여부 등의 위험 요인을 초기와 후기 폐경후기간에 비교 조사하였다. 각 군에서 각각의 변인들을 독립변수로 하여 MRS에 대한 다중 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 초기 폐경후기군에서 후기 폐경후기군에 비해 유의하게 더 심한 폐경기 증상, 폐경에 대한 부정적인 태도, 심한 우울감을 보였다. 안면홍조증상이 중등도 이상인 군은 경도 이하인 군보다 폐경기 증상의 호소와 우울감이 유의하게 높았고 폐경에 대한 태도는 부정적이었다. 폐경에 대한 태도와 우울감이 초기 폐경후기군과 후기 폐경후기군에서 모두 폐경기 증상의 심한 정도에 주요한 기여를 하였다. 초기 폐경후기군에서 연령, 폐경연령, 월경 전 불쾌장애 병력 여부가 폐경기 증상의 심각도에 유의하게 기여한 반면 후기 폐경후기군에서는 결혼상태, 직업여부가 폐경기 증상의 심각도에 기여하였다. 결론 : 폐경후기 여성의 삶의 질은 후기보다 초기에서 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 위험요인들 중 폐경에 대한 태도와 우울감은 초기와 후기 폐경후기의 삶의 질에 공통으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며 그 밖의 위험 요인들은 초기와 후기에 따라 다르게 나타나는 것으로 보인다. 향후에는 폐경기 증상 호소로 병원을 찾는 폐경후기 여성 환자들의 임상표본(clinical sample)을 대상으로 삶의 질과 위험 요인을 확립할 수 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives It is important to decide if the patient is belong to cold syndrome or heat syndrome in Sasang Constitutional Medicine. The purpose of this study is to report some proof to determine cold and heat syndrome and characteristic of the patient who can be treated with Cheongsimyeonja-tang. Methods To evaluate the results of this treatment, muscular symptom was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). The patient's general condition such as urinary and fecal discomfort is assessed by the progress notes. Results The patient did not improved when she was treated with Choweseuncheung-tang. But when she was treated with Cheongsimyeonja-tang, she got improved with not only her main problem such as muscular symptom, but also general condition such as indigestion, urinary & fecal discomfort and menopausal symptom. Conclusion This study suggests that number of defecation per day also can be the clue to decide heat or cold syndrome not only appearance of defecation. And the patients who can be treated by Cheongsimyeonja-tang is different from the patients who can be treated by Yeoldahansotang in the color of their face, personality and edema.

Regarding menopause as a turning point in woman's lift, the author reviewed the psychosocial aspects of menopause. Seeing menstruation as the symbolic meaning of female sexuality, psychoanalysts argue that menopause, the loss of symbolic meaning of female sexuality, may bring a mourning reaction to woman. It is reported that the high ratio of depression does not have a serious relationship with the menopause syndrome, and that depression cannot be viewed as a different symptoms. It is also proved that most women successfully recover themselves from temporary menopause symptom. Research data shows that some women have a negative thought on the meaning of menopause. Others, however, have a positive concept on the meaning of menopause because of the feeling of release and freedom. In sum, the author suggests that psychosocial consideration is very important as much as bilogical consideration in considering the meaning of menopausal syndrome.

Hot flush (hot flush or facial flush) is the most frequent symptom experienced by women of peri-menopausal age. It may appear on women or even men after surgery or chemotherapy. Hot flush is one of the biggest reason for women to undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It also crucially affects various aspects of life quality such as occupation, social life, daily routine and health awareness. The most effective and fundamental remedy for hot flush is HRT. However, a few women is not responsive to HRT and investigation to elucidate other causes of hot flush is warranted, especially in elderly. The contraindications such as breast cancer mandates other modality of treatment. Variety of treatment for hot flush other than HRT will be discussed herein.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL). Methods: The MENQOL was translated into Korean according to algorithm of linguistic validation process. A total of 308 menopausal women were recruited and assessed using the Korean version of MENQOL (MENQOL-K), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-K). In estimating reliability, internal consistency reliability coefficients were calculated. Validity was evaluated through criterion validity and construct validity with confirmatory factor analyses using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 25.0 software. Results: In item analyses, the "increased facial hair" symptom was excluded because of the low contribution of MENQOL-K. The confirmatory factor analysis supported good fit and reliable scores for MENQOL-K model, and the four-factor structure was validated (χ²=553.28, p<.001, NC=1.84, RMSEA=.05, AGIF=.85, AIC=765.28). The MENQOL-K consists of 28 items in 4 domains, including vasomotor (3 items), psychosocial (7 items), physical (15 items), and sexual subscales (3 items). There was an acceptable criterion validity with moderately significant correlation between MENQOL-K and WHOQOL-BREF. The Cronbach's α for the 4 subsacles ranged from .80 to .93. Conclusion: The MENQOL-K is a valid and reliable scale to measure condition-specific quality of life for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. It can be used to assess the impact of menopausal symptoms on the quality of life of Korean women in clinical trials.

Isoflavones are naturally occurring plant chemicals belonging to the 'phytoestrogen' class. The isoflavones are strikingly similar in chemical structure to natural estrogens. The phenolic ring is a key structural element of most compounds that bind to estrogen receptors. Dietary components that recently have received attention for their action as phytoestrogens are soy isoflavones. Soy products are the most significant dietary sources of isoflavones. Recently It is concerned clinical nutrition of isoflavone that is driven by reason of alternative sources of exogenous estrogen are constantly being needed. Estrogen therapy after the menopause offers protection from cardiovascular disease, reduces the extent of osteoporosis and relieves menopausal symptoms. Exogenous estrogen treatment is a fear of possible increased risk of developing breast cancer and because of side effects. Daily intake of soybean or soy food can affirmative effect to disease occurrence, that is based on mechanical investigation, experimental results of animals and human. Research into isoflavone is going on various field to relieve hormone - dependent disease such as cancer, menopausal symptom, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Isoflavone is plenty in soybean meal, soy by-product, but only limited information is available on isoflavone efficacy into animal husbandry. Thus we conducted three experiments to investigate the effects of dietary isoflavone on productivities, antioxidative responses and bone metabolism in poultry. Dietary supplementation of isoflavone resulted in preventing the lipid oxidation of plasma and egg yolk. Dietary isoflavone improved bone development in egg-type growing chicks and broilers in terms of tibial strength. It was suggested that the proper use of feed additives such as isoflavone might provide means of improving antioxidative effect, skeletal strength, egg and eggshell quality.
