This study was done for the purpose of analyzing the relationship between menopausal symptoms and depression. Data were collected by a questionnaire from November 28 to December 30, 1995. The subjects were 134 women between 40-61 years of age. The instruments used for this study were The Menopausal symptom scale by Neugartom and Depression scale by Zung. The results of the study were as follows. 1. Mean score of menopausal symptoms was 1.59. Mean score orders of experienced symptoms were "Rack pain and joint pain"(2.02), "General weakness"(1.98), "Nervousness"(1.96). The most serious menopausal symptom was psychosomatic symptom.(1.88) Total score orders of experienced symptoms was 27.9 and over 90.3% of women complained menopausal symptom. 2. Mean score orders of depression was 39.13. It was normal range of depression. 85.1% of the women were normal range of depression and 14.2% of women mild depression. 3. The relationship between menopausal symptoms and depression was statistically significant(r=0.5307, p=0.000). When the relationship among three dimensions of menopausal symptoms were explored the psychosomatic symptom(r=0.4090, P=0.000), Physical symptom(r=0.319, P=0.000), Physical symptom(r=0.319, P=0.000) were statistically significant. 4. General characteristic variables were significantly related to the level of menopausal symptoms as follows ; environment of living(F=2.89, p=0.038), religion(F=4.18, P=0.007), times of birth(F=2.66, p=0.043). The analysis of this study have implication for management of middle aged women's health, to solve the nursing problems, and to prevent and relieve climacteric symptoms.

Central serous chorioretinopathy may induce poor eyesight and serous retinal detachment. However, its exact cause has not been well established thus far. It can be associated with systemic high-dose corticosteroid treatment mainly for young and middle-aged men and may spontaneously regress or recur after withdrawal from corticosteroid. After corticosteroid administration for Behcet's disease, it is necessary to identify any ocular symptoms. Behcet's disease can lead to the development of ocular complications, such as uveitis, hypopyon, retinal vasculitis, optic neuritis, angiogenesis, secondary cataract, and glaucoma. It is possible to diagnose any of these complications via optical coherence tomography and digital indocyanine green angiography. It is easy to neglect an ocular symptom that may appear after a low-dose corticosteroid treatment as an ocular complication in patients with Behcet's disease. Thus, we report on a case concerning high-dose corticosteroid treatment with a literature review.

Purpose: This study was designed to identify the incidence risk of cardicerebrovascular disease (CVD) among male bus drivers, and to examine and compare the predictors of their health behavior according to the level of CVD incidence risk. Methods: The convenience sample of 222 male bus drivers were recruited from a bus company located in Jeonnam province. Data were collected from self-reported questionnaires and annual medical examination records from 2010. The CVD incidence risk was calculated based on the risk criteria for industrial workers. Results: The 26.6% and 26.1% of the participants were in the moderate and high risk group, respectively. The 72% of the participants were in the precontemplation stage and reported no intention to change their unhealthy lifestyles. Stepwise multiple regression analyses showed that current smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, physical inactivity and lack of knowledge were negative predictors of good health behavior in the normal/low risk group (Adj $R^2$=.443). Heavy alcohol drinking, current smoking, physical inactivity and dyslipidemia were reported by the moderate/high risk group (Adj $R^2$=.427). Conclusion: This study suggested that targeted education and counseling are needed to modify unhealthy lifestyles such as alcohol consumption, smoking and exercise among middle aged male drivers. Especially, dyslipidemia should be managed among those who are at risk for CVD.

Background: Prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic characteristics have been reported by different studies from different geographical regions in the world. However, data from many Middle East countries including Iran (especially southern Iran) are scare. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic, psychological and socioeconomic factors in an Iranian population. Methods: In this population-based survey, the target population was comprised of subjects aged 20 to 85 years residing in Jahrom, southern Iran during 2009-2011. All eligible subjects were invited to participate in the study. Before a detailed questionnaire was given; face to face interviews were done for each individual. Results: There were 719 men and 874 women with an average age of 40.5 years at the onset of the study. Among the study population, 38.9% (620/1,593) complained of chronic pain, of whom 40.8% (253/620) were men and 59.2% (367/620) were women. Foot and joint pain were observed in 31.9%. Hip and spine pain, migraine and tension headaches, heart pain, and abdomen pain were observed in 21.5%, 15.5%, 9.5%, and 8.0% of chronic pain cases, respectively. There was a significant association among the covariables age, sex, overweight, educational level, income, and type of employment with chronic pain as the dependent variable (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Our findings show the prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic, psychological and socioeconomic factors. Individuals with low incomes and less education became accustomed to pain due to a lack of knowledge.

대전에 소재하는 C 대학교 병원의 물리치료실에 2003년 5월 9일부터 2004년 10월 20일까지 내원한 환자들 중 견부 통증의 진단으로 치료를 받은 환자 가운데 중추신경계에 손상 병력이 없고, 치료사와 의사소통이 가능한 인지 능력을 가졌으며, 실험에 참가하기로 동의한 환자를 대상으로 내원한 순서에 따라 아로마 초음파군, 아로마군, 초음파군에 각각 30명씩을 배정하여 실험한 결과, 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 통증의 정도를 알아보는 시각적 통증 점수가 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 통증 감소의 정도도 차이가 있었다. 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군과 아로마군의 통증 감소의 정도가 초음파군에 비해 높았다(p<0.001). 또한 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 McGill-Melzac 통증 점수 역시 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 차이는 없었지만, 교호작용을 고려하면 아로마를 사용한 군에서 감소 폭이 더 큰 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 압통계의 역치 역시 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 모든 군에서 상승하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 역치 증가의 정도에도 차이가 있었는데(p<0.05), 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군이 아로마군에 비해 역치 증가의 폭이 더 컸다. 따라서 압통계의 역치 증가는 아로마 보다는 초음파에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 아로마 오일은 주관적이고, 정서적인 통증을 검사하는 시각적 통증 점수와 McGill-Melzac 점수에 많은 영향을 미치는 반면 조직의 회복에 의해 상승하는 압력 역치를 검사하는 압통계의 수치에는 영향을 적게 미침을 확인할 수 있었으며, 반면 초음파는 주관적, 정서적인 통증의 감소보다는 실제 조직이 회복되면서 감소하는 통증에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Total body fat measurements were performed in 342 housewives. In 44 of them(age 38.4 yr.) both the densitometry and skinfold thickness methods were made and regression equations between skinfold and total body fat were derived. In the 298 housewives(age 35.0 yr.) skinfold thickness at four sites (arm, back, waist, abdomen) were measured and total body fat was calculated. The following results were obtained. 1. The data in 44 subjects by means of densitometry and skinfold thickness were: body weight: 51.8 kg, body length: 153.4 cm, body surface area: $1.47\;m^2$, body volume: 50.2 l, body density: 1.0334 kg/l, total body fat: 25.2% body weight, mean skinfold thickness at four sites 14.9 mm. 2. There were correlations of high degree between skinfold thickness and fat (%), fat (kg), and body density. The correlation coefficients were r=0.767, r=0.846, r= -0.765, respectively. Subsequently, the following regression equations were obtained. %fat=$0.39{\times}Mean$ skinfold thickness(mm)+19.36 Fat(kg)=$0.414{\times}Mean$ skinfold thickness(mm)+7.01 Body density=$-0.00099{\times}Mean$ skinfold thickness(mm)+1.0489 3. In 298 subjects mean skinfold thickness of four sites was 20.6mm and total body fat was calculated as 27.4% body weight from the above equation.

This study was designed to find out the effects of aerobic exercise on lipid and Ca metabolism in seven healthy college women, aged 20 to 22 years. Metabolic studies were conducted before and after a 10-weeks exercise period, during which subjects participated in the planned aerobic dance program every day except Sunday. The initial mean time engaged in the exercise was 28 minutes and it was gradually increased up to 45 minutes around the middle point of the exercise period. During both of metabolic study periods, the subjects ate experimental diets which supplied about 120g of protein and 600mg of Ca daily and during the rest of the experimental period they ate their usual diets. The use of alcoholic beverages and drugs were prohibited. The results were summarized as follows. 1) The effect of exercise on lipid metabolism. (1) Mean body weight decreased significantly after exercise(p<0.01) and it did not show a significant decline in skinfold thickness and total body fat contents. (2) Serum total cholesterol level decreased significantly after exercise(p<0.05) and TG level also tended to be lower than that of pre-exercise period. Exercise did not exert any influence on the level of serum HDL-cholesterol in this study. (3) Exercise did not alter total lipid content in feces and apparent lipid absorption rate. 2) The effect of exercise on Ca and P metabolism. (1) After exercise, focal Ca excretion was slightly reduced, however, urinary Ca excretion was not significantly changed. In the results, a slight increase was shown in body Ca retention after exercise. (2) Exercise tended to increase urinary P excretion, but neither P balance nor fecal excretion was significantly changed after exercise. (3) Bone mineral content was not affected by exercise. In summary, aerobic exercise decreased total cholesterol and TG level in serum and tended to increase body Ca retention. With the results, it can be concluded that the additional physical activities beyond the normal daily life in college women might prevent some degenerative diseases-suchas atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This prospective study examined gender-specific associations between egg intake and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes using data from a large-scale cohort study. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 7,002 Korean adults (40-69 years) without type 2 diabetes at baseline were analyzed. Dietary intake was evaluated by a food frequency questionnaire administered at baseline (2001-2002) and the second follow-up examination (2005-2006). Type 2 diabetes was diagnosed as a fasting glucose concentration ${\geq}126mg/dL$ or current use of glucose-lowering medications or insulin injection. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident type 2 diabetes according to egg consumption or cholesterol intake. RESULTS: During a 14-year follow up period, 857 subjects developed type 2 diabetes. In men, frequent egg intake (2- < 4 servings/week) was associated with a 40% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than infrequent egg intake (0- < 1 serving/week) (HR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37-0.97), whereas no association between egg intake and incidence of type 2 diabetes was observed in women (HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.27-1.37). There was no association between cholesterol intake and risk of incident type 2 diabetes in either men or women. CONCLUSIONS: Egg consumption was inversely related to the risk of incident type 2 diabetes in men, but not in women, suggesting gender differences in the relationship between diet and disease risk.
