To an increasing extent, case-control studies are being undertaken to determine if use of early detection procedures is associated with reduced mortality from cancer. The authors recommend that in such studies the analysis focus on screening activity in cases that occurs during an interval prior to diagnosis in which the cancer is believed to be detectable and still curable and to a corresponding time period in controls. This approach places a heavy burden on the investigator to estimate accurately the period during which the tumor ought to be detectable using the test in question and to sort out reliably tests done in response to signs or symptoms of the cancer from screening tests per se. Nonetheless, the authors feel that it offers the greatest ability to discern a true benefit of screening, while minimizing the numerous potential biases that can be present in this type of study.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the lifestyle of korean medicine students based on their drinking patterns and eating attitudes. Methods : The survey was conducted on 101 korean medicine students to investigate their psychological characteristics. They were asked to complete Self-Administered Alcoholism Screening Test, Eating Attitude Test, and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2. Results : A total of 101 Korean medical students participated in the study. Non-drinker 19, drinker were 82. Unlikely to, possible and potential alcoholism 79(78.2%), 17(16.8%) and 5(5%) respectively. The mean and standard deviation of SAAST in the subjects were $3.88{\pm}3.33$ and the EAT score was $8.09{\pm}8.693$. There was a significant difference in the MMPI-2 items between non-drinker and drinker. The SAAST had an effect on the EAT score(${\beta}=0.319$). Conclusions : As a result of MMPI-2 test, in the potential alcoholism group, scale D, Mf, Si, INTR, TPA, SOD, Mt and GF were shown higher, and AAS and GM were shown lower than the normal group. In the bad eating attitude group, scale Hy, RC4, DISC and AA were shown higher than the good eating attitude group.

To improve wellness and quality of life by recognizing the health efforts of stress, the author estimated the relationships between stress, subjective symptoms and clinical diagnosis through a questionnaire and a battery of specified laboratory tests; electrocardiography, blood pressure, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase$(\gamma-GTP)$, fasting blood sugar, gastro-endoscopy or UGI, abdominal sonography, etc. The data was gathered from 337 clients who were undergoing multiphasic screening program at a University Hospital from January to March 1998. The mean age of subjects was $46.5{\pm}11.2$ years and the mean of body mass index was $24.0{\pm}3.7kg/m^2$. The mean vol of stress was $18.5{\pm}6.0$ expressed as the score out of 40. By general characteristics and lift style among male, mean level of stress was significantly higher in case of lower socioeconomic status, habitual drug use, longer daily working time(>10 hours), no regular exercise, drinkers, irregular meal, skip-ping breakfast(p<0.05). In case of female, that was significantly higher in case of lower education, lowe. socioeconomic status, longer daily working time(>10 hours), no regular exercise, drinkers, smokers, irregular meal, skipping breakfast(p<0.05). Significant correlations were observed between stress and subjective symptoms in all kinds of organ system (p<0.01). Correlation coefficients of stress among male were relatively high with neuro-psychiatric symptom$(\gamma=0.476)$ and cardio-vascular symptom$(\gamma=0.361)$ in order, and correlation coefficients of stress among female was highest with neuro-psychiatric symptom$(\gamma=0.371)$. The prevalence of the diagnosis through the battery of laboratory tests was high in upper gastrointestinal disorders and hypercholesterolemia in order in both sex group. Among male the mean score of stress was significantly high in ulcerative peptic disorder of upper gastrointestine and hepatopathy in order (p<0.05) . Among female that was significantly high in diabetes mellitus. In summary, it is likely that there are associations between stress, subjective symptoms and clinical diagnosis. To promote wellness and quality of life it would be of value that periodic stress evaluation program and stress management including apropriate control of smoking and drinking, regular exercise and meal.

우리나라의 경우, 이식 대기자에 비해 공여 장기 수가 부족하여 생체 장기기증에 대한 의존도가 높으며, 생체 장기기증 건수도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히, 생체 신장 이식 건수는 전 세계적으로 높기 때문에 생체 신장 공여자에 대한 이식 전 정신사회적 평가의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이전 연구에 따르면 이식 전 공여자 평가 시 사전 동의 여부 및 수술 위험성에 대한 인지 여부를 파악하는 것이 중요하며 이를 위해 다음과 같은 평가 도구들을 시행할 수 있다. ELPAT living organ donor Psychological Assessment Tool (EPAT), Live Donor Assessment Tool (LDAT), Living Donation Expectancies Questionnaire (LDEQ), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 questionnaire (MMPI-2). 이식 전 정신사회적 평가 도구에 관한 문헌을 검토한 후, 한국의 생체 신장 기증자에 대한 법적 고려 사항을 살펴본 후 생체 신장 공여자에 대한 효과적인 이식 전 선별 평가 방법을 제안하려 한다.

To study the personality characteristics of alcoholic patients, they were screned with the MAST(Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test) and administered with the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) in the Dept. of Neuropsychiatry, Oriental Medical Hospital in Kyung Hee Univ. form March 1991 to June 1991. Patients admitted for alcoholism were examined and analyzed using the above tests and then studied by Sasang Constitutional approach. Results were as follows; 1. In the MAST score, the cases of obvious alcohol dependence was 53.3% and overall mean score was 28.1 point. 2. In the MMPI scale, the mean of the T-scores for 2(D)-4(Pd) profile was high, but it was not statistically significant. 3. The results obtained by multivariate cluster analysis of MMPI T-scores can be divided into 3 subgroups; 1) 9% showed the psychiatric tendency of F-6(Pa)-9(Ma)profile, 2) 44.2% showed no significant profile, 3)46.5% showed the neurotic tendency of 1(Hs)-2(D)-3(Hy)-4(Pd) profile. 4. Since 44.2% showed no significant profile on the MMPI, much more alcoholic patients were caused not by personality factors but by social tolerance, and also by increasing apportunities of drinking in Korean society. 5. When analyzed with Sasang Constituional approach, 1) for the Soyangin (少陽人): 6(Pa) scale was particularly high, 1(Hs) and 3(Hy) scales were low compared to others, 2) for the Taiumin(太陰人): 1(Hs)-2(D)-3(Hy)-4(Pd) neurotic profile was high, the K-scale and 4(Pd)scale were high compared to the Soyangin, 3) for the Soumin(少陰人): 1(Hs)-2(D)-3(Hy)-4(Pd) neurotic profile and 7(Pt) scale were also high.

Since the 1960s, Korea has achieved rapid economic growth, longer life expectancy, accelerated urbanization and a westenization of diet. Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death; however the prevalence of ischemic heart disease(IHD) remains low. A cross-sectional multiphasic screening service for 18,426 persons aged $30\sim64$ years in a Medical Aid Program in Kyonggi-do Province was conducted from 1991 to 1993. Total cholesterol(TC), fasting blood glucose(FBG), blood pressure(BP), and electrocardiographic(EKG) data were collected. The result as follows ; 1. On the EKG findings, the age-adjusted prevalence of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction was 1.45% in men and 2.06% in women. 2. The mean blood pressure was 122.9/78.8mmHg. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 11.05% in men and 9.02% in women. The prevalence of hypertension showed increasing tendency according to age increase. In all age group, the prevalence of hypertension was higher in men than women. 3. The mean total cholesterol level was 184.4mg/dl in men and 189.2mg/dl in women. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 4.88% in men and 5.67% in women. The total cholesterol level showed increasing tendency according to age increase, except $55\sim64$ age group in men. 4. The prevalence of hyperglycemia is 5.8%. The age-adjusted prevalence of hyperglycemia is 6.72% in men and 4.50% in women. The prevalence of hyperglycemia showed increasing tendency according to age increase. 5. On the EKG findings, the prevalence of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction was higher in hypertension than normal, in all age group of men and women less than 40 years-old. Only in women more t]fan 40 years-old, the prevalence of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction was higher in hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia. Nevertheless there is not statistical association between ischemia heart disease and previous risk factors in other age group, the prevalence of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction was higher in hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia than normal. The result of this study suggest that relationships between major risk factor of ischemic heart disease and ischemic heart disease is similar to existing theory.

Objective: Muscle quantity and quality can be measured with an automated system on CT. However, the effects of contrast phases on the muscle measurements have not been established, which we aimed to investigate in this study. Materials and Methods: Muscle quantity was measured according to the skeletal muscle area (SMA) measured by a convolutional neural network-based automated system at the L3 level in 89 subjects undergoing multiphasic abdominal CT comprising unenhanced phase, arterial phase, portal venous phase (PVP), or delayed phase imaging. Muscle quality was analyzed using the mean muscle density and the muscle quality map, which comprises normal and low-attenuation muscle areas (NAMA and LAMA, respectively) based on the muscle attenuation threshold. The SMA, mean muscle density, NAMA, and LAMA were compared between PVP and other phases using paired t tests. Bland-Altman analysis was used to evaluate the inter-phase variability between PVP and other phases. Based on the cutoffs for low muscle quantity and quality, the counts of individuals who scored lower than the cutoff values were compared between PVP and other phases. Results: All indices showed significant differences between PVP and other phases (p < 0.001 for all). The SMA, mean muscle density, and NAMA increased during the later phases, whereas LAMA decreased during the later phases. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the mean differences between PVP and other phases ranged -2.1 to 0.3 cm² for SMA, -12.0 to 2.6 cm² for NAMA, and -2.2 to 9.9 cm² for LAMA.The number of patients who were categorized as low muscle quantity did not significant differ between PVP and other phases (p ≥ 0.5), whereas the number of patients with low muscle quality significantly differed (p ≤ 0.002). Conclusion: SMA was less affected by the contrast phases. However, the muscle quality measurements changed with the contrast phases to greater extents and would require a standardization of the contrast phase for reliable measurement.

영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 종합건강진단센터에서 1994년 5월 20일부터 9월 30일까지 종합건강진단을 받은 성인 661명(남 472명, 여 189명)을 대상으로 이들의 신장, 체중, 혈청지질치(총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도 지단백), 혈압과 impedance를 측정하였고, 이들 측정치를 이용하여 체질량지수, Katsura 지수, 동맥경화지수, 저밀도 지단백, 체지방 비율을 산출하여 체지방 비율과 혈청 지질치 및 혈압과의 관련성을 규명하였다. 체지방 비율에 따른 분포는 남자의 경우 체지방 비율이 20% 이상인 제1군이 15명(3.2%), 여자의 경우 25% 이상인 제 1군이 7명 (3.7%)으로 나타났다. 체중은 남자와 여자에서 체지방 비율에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으나(p<0.01)신장은 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 남자에서는 총 콜레스테롤치, 중성지방치, 고밀도 지단백, 저밀도 저단백, 동맥경화지수가 세군간에 유의한 차이가 있었고(p<0.01) 여자에서는 총 콜레스테롤과 저밀도 지단백은 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 있었으나(p<0.05) 중성지방치, 고밀도 지단백은 세 군간에 차이가 없었다. 체질량지수와 Katsura 지수는 남녀 모두에서 세 군간에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 상관관계분석에서는 체지방 비율이 남자에서는 체중, 체질량지수, Katsura 지수, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도 지단백, 동맥경화지수, 수축기 및 확장기 혈압과 유의한 상관관계가 있었고 고밀도 지단백과는 유의한 역상관관계가 있었다. 여자에서는 체지방 비율이 나이, 신장, 체중, 체질량지수, Katsura 지수, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도 지단백, 동맥경화지수와 유의한 상관관계가 있었고 고밀도 지단백과는 유의한 역상관관계가 있었으나 혈압과는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 심혈관계질환의 위험인자인 총 콜레스테롤과 LDL/HDL비를 종속변수로 하고 나이, 체질량지수, 체지방 비율을 독립변수로 한 다중회귀분석에서 총 콜레스테롤의 경우 남자에서는 체지방 비율, 나이, 체질량지수 모두가 총 콜레스테롤에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수로 나왔으며$(R^2=0.1286)$, 여자에서는 체지방 비율과 나이가 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였다$(R^2=0.3399)$. LDL/HDL비의 경우는 남자에서 체질량지수만이 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였고$(R^2=0.0954)$, 여자에서는 체지방 비율, 나이, 체질량지수 모두가 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였다$(R^2=0.3164)$. 수축기 및 확장기 혈압을 종속변수로 한 다중회귀 분석에서는 남자에서는 수축기 혈압에 나이, 저밀도 지단백, 총 콜레스테롤이 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였고$(R^2=0.1297)$, 확장기 혈압에는 나이만이 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였다$(R^2=0.0972)$. 여자에서는 수측기 혈압에 나이와 총 콜레스테롤이 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였고$(R^2=0.1705)$, 확장기 혈압에는 나이만이 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수였다$(R^2=0.1218)$. 이상의 결과에서 체지방 비율은 비만이나 혈청 지질치는 잘 반영한다고 생각할 수 있으나 혈압을 반영하는데는 미흡한 점이 있다고 생각되며 앞으로 체지방 비율과 혈청 지질치 및 혈압과의 관련성을 확립하기 위해서는 본 연구에서 고려하지 않은 혈압에 미치는 다른 요인들을 독립변수로 고려한 추가 보완 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
