  • Objectives: Several pattern diagnosis questionnaires have been developed to objectify the process of pattern diagnosis in Korean medicine. In this context, this study aimed to develop a food retention questionnaire for functional dyspepsia (FRQ-FD) by modifying the previously developed food retention questionnaire (FRQ) and to verify its reliability and validity. Furthermore, this study aimed to identify the optimal cut-off value of the FRQ-FD for standardization and use in clinical situations. Methods: To develop the FRQ-FD, we extracted the major symptoms of food retention pattern for functional dyspepsia from Chinese/Korean medicine textbooks and requested an importance survey from experts using the Delphi method. The first draft of the FRQ-FD was composed of 25 questions comprising 8 questions from the textbooks and the Delphi method and 17 questions from the FRQ already developed in 2013. To analyze its reliability, validity, and optimal cut-off value, 60 subjects were enrolled in this study from June 25 to August 13, 2018. Thirty patients were diagnosed as both functional dyspepsia and food retention pattern, and 30 healthy participants were not. All participants were requested to fill up the FRQ-FD, Stomach Qi Deficiency Questionnaire (SQDQ), Scale for Stomach Qi Deficiency pattern (SSQD), visual analog scale (VAS) for dyspepsia, Nepean Dyspepsia Index-Korean version (NDI-K), and functional dyspepsia-related quality of life (FD-QoL). Results: No statistically significant differences were found in sex distribution, age, and body mass index between the patient group and the control group. As five questions affected the reliability negatively and three questions affected the clinical validity negatively, we decided to exclude the eight questions upon further investigation. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient of the revised FRQ-FD (17 items) was 0.899, and its clinical validity was verified. Construct validity was analyzed by factor analysis and produced five factors. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the revised FRQ-FD and the other dyspepsia scales, namely, SQDQ, SSQD, VAS, NDI-K, and FD-QoL. VAS and NDI-K especially had strong positive correlations with FRQ-FD. Conclusions: The FRQ-FD developed in this study can provide fundamental reliability and validity for a pattern diagnosis questionnaire. FRQ-FD can help to diagnose food retention pattern in functional dyspepsia patients. Further studies are required to inspect several statistical factors.

  • Objectives: To analyze the postoperative functional outcome of shoulder in patients with arthroscopically assisted repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears with or without acromioplasty and role of acromioplasty. Materials and Methods: From June 1996 to June 2002, twenty six patients with large to massive rotator cuff tears were undergone arthroscopically assisted repair. Mean follow up was over one year. Fourteen were male and twelve were female. Mean age was 51 years old(39-66). Mean duration was 9 months. Acromioplasty was done in 14 cases concomitantly. They were divided into two groups. Group I: arthroscopic cuff repair with acromioplasty(14 cases). Group II: arthroscopic cuff repair without acromioplasty(12 cases). Each shoulder was evaluated at preoperative and final follow-up with Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), University of Pennsylvania Patient self-assessment of pain, University of Pennsylvania Patient self-assessment of function, ASES standardized shoulder assessment form, Simple Shoulder Test, UCLA score and range of motion(ROM). We analyzed the differences between the two groups. Shoulder ROM and acromioplasty were determining factors. Statistics was tested by correlation analysis and repeated measure ANOVA test. Results: At the final follow up, functional outcome and pain were improved but they had no statistical significance between the two groups(p>0.05). Combined procedure, acromioplasty, didn't affect on VAS. UCLA score, University of Pennsylvania Patient self-assessment of pain, University of Pennsylvania Patient self-assessment of function, ASf:S standardized shoulder assessment form and Simple Shoulder Test(p>0.05). In group II, forward flexion and abduction were statistically improved at the final follow up than in group I(p<0.05). Conclusions: It appears that arthroscopic repair is satisfactory procedure in patients with large to massive cuff tears. Combined procedure, acromioplasty, doesn't affect on postoperative functional outcome of shoulder.

  • 본 연구에서는 논과 배수로를 연결하는 소규모 어도를 설치하고 그 효율을 평가하였다. 또한 어도주변 수로와 논의 어류상을 조사하여 어도를 중심으로 주변 생태계의 연계효과를 살펴보았다. 용 배수로 조사결과, 친환경 농업지역(A) 용수로에서는 5종 83개체, 배수로에서는 9종 133개체가 채집되었다. 농산물 우수관리지역(B)에서는 용수로에서 4종 128개체, 배수로에서 8종 489개체가 채집되었다. 대호 지역 배수로에 서식하는 어류상 조사결과, 논으로 소상하여 산란과 서식을 할 것으로 판단되는 어종은 왜몰개, 붕어, 참붕어, 미꾸리, 미꾸라지 등 5종으로 선정되었다. 논 농법별로 구분하였을 때, 용 배수로에서 출현한 종수는 차이가 없었으나 개체수는 농산물 우수관리지역(B)에서 더 높게 나타났다. 이는 농법의 차이보다는 조사지점의 특성상 농산물 우수관리지역(B)의 배수로가 흐르는 물의 양이 더 많고 주변 하천과의 연계성이 더 좋았기 때문으로 판단된다. 소규모 논 어도를 통하여 논으로 소상하는 어류는 미꾸리, 미꾸라지, 왜물개 3종으로 조사되었다. 어류의 주요 이동시간은 주간보다는 야간에 주로 이동하는 특성을 보였다. 따라서 논 어도를 유지할 수 있는 용수공급량이 충분하지 않은 논에서 물의 흐름을 확보하고 어도를 유지하기 위해서는 주간보다는 야간과 새벽 시간대를 이용하는 것이 더 효율적일 것으로 판단된다.

  • The small scale industries which have less than 30 employees occupy 86.5% of total number of industries in Korea. And though they have higher accident rate and lower environmental condition than big industries, it has been not mandatory to appointing health care manager at factory. So, from 1993, government subsidizes to the health care management of small industries. The purpose of this study is to identify the real feature of health care status in small industries, and to evaluate the level of health care management, before and after the subsidiary program. 65 small plating industries which have been managed by the same health care management support institution in 1993 were selected for study. Of the 65 industries, 3 which have not taken both environmental evaluation and health screening in 1994, and 9 which have closed were excluded from study sample. And the remaining 53 were analyzed by using the results of environmental evaluation and health screening, reported to the Ministry of Labor, before and after the subsidiary program, the analysis was done by the comparison of the two year paired data of the same industry. Over-permissible-limit rate, health screening implementation rate, above grade C rate were calculated and compared. The status of health care management ; 1. Of the sample industries, 96.9% provide protective equipment and 80.0% set up ventilating system. Protective gloves (89.2%) and protective clothing (80.0%) are widely provided, but ear plugs (4.6%) are rarely provided. 21.5% of the protective equipment are well put on, and 40.4% of the ventilating systems function well. 2. In 1993, 35 industries, 53.8% of the sample, checked working environment twice. Over-permissible-limit rates of heavy metal (12.2%), suspended particle (11.1%), noise (5.5%) were high. To put on protective equipment and to set up local ventilating system were pointed out by the examiners. 3. General health screening was done at 63.1% of the sample industries and 35.3% of total workers were examined. Specific health screening was done at 93.8% of the sample industries and 75.4% of workers were examined. 15.5% of workers was provided to be above grade C and to have digestive system disease (43.3%), circulatory disease (18.9%), and hematopoietic disease (14.2%), etc. 4. In 1993, the subsidiary program of health care management was provided in forms of health education, health counseling, and rounding check of working field. And 61.5%, 83.0%, 55.4% of sample industries respectively received it. The average visit per industry was 1.8. Comparisons of the level of occupational health before and after the subsidiary program ; 1. Over-permissible-limit rates of hazardous factors of 1993 and that of 1994 were compared. The rates of suspended particle, noise, organic solvent of 1994 (37.5%, 13.4%, 24.2% respectively) were higher than that of 1993 (25.0%, 6.0%, 6.3% respectively). In the case of acid, there was no difference between the rate of 1993 and that of 1994. Only the rate of heavy metal decreased from 12.9% in 1993 to 3.0% in 1994. 2. General health screening was done at 38.7% of the sample industries in 1993 and at 44.6% in 1994. But the implementation rate of specific health screening decreased from 72.4% in 1993 to 64.6% in 1994. 3. The implementation rate of specific health screening was analyzed by some health factors. The rate of suspended particle increased from 61.8% in 1993 to 91.2% in 1994. But the rates of the others-noise, organic solvent, heavy metal, specific chemical substances-decreased. 4. Above grade C rate in health screening increased from 27.8% in 1993 to 35.5% in 1994. But that of endocrine disorders and pulmonary disease decreased.

  • 우리나라와 OECD국가의 여러 연구에 의하면, 고성장 창업기업이 일자리 창출의 가장 큰 기여자로서 지속적인 경제성장을 위해서는 이들 기업의 창업이 매우 중요하다. 여성의 경제활동 증가도 경제성장을 촉진하며, 여성의 창업률이 남성에 비해 저조하므로 여성의 창업증진이 경제발전에 도움이 될 것이다. 본 논문은 여성의 고성장 기업창업이 남성 창업에 비해 적은 원인을 찾기 위해서 여러 가지 기업실태조사 자료를 이용하여 여성과 남성기업을 비교 분석하였다. 여성창업은 전체기업의 34%를 차지하고 있으나 고성장 기업일 경우는 6% 이하의 점유율을 나타낸다. 여성기업의 특징은 남성기업에 비해 초기투자자금이 적고, 외부자금조달이 어려워서 소규모기업에 집중되어 있다. 창업을 위한 장애요인은 여성 과 남성기업이 매우 유사하지만, 여성기업의 남성기업과 차별화된 장애요인이며, 또한 여성의 고성장기업 창업을 어렵게 만드는 3가지 요인은, 외부자금 조달의 어려움(고성장 기업인 경우 자금조달의 어려움이 다른 산업에 비해 높게 나타남), 창업을 위한 아이디어와 경험 및 기술의 부족, 일 과 가정의 병행 어려움이다. 이 결과는 미국의 연구결과(자금조달의 어려움, 일과 가정의 병행 애로, 여성을 위한 멘토의 부족) 와 비슷한 결과이다. 여성의 고성장기업의 창업은 아이디어와 경험 및 지식의 부족과 관련되어 추가 연구가 더 필요할 것이다.

  • Walkability is an indicator of how much pedestrians are willing to walk and how well a walking environment is created. As walking can promote pedestrians' mental and physical health, there has been increasing focus on improving walkability in different ways. Thus, plenty of research has been undertaken to measure walkability. When measuring walkability, there are many objective and subjective variables. Subjective variables include a feeling of safety, pleasure, or comfort, which can significantly affect perceived walkability. However, these subjective factors are difficult to measure by making the walkability index more reliant on objective and physical factors. Because many subjective variables are associated with human emotional states, understanding pedestrians' emotional states provides an opportunity to measure the subjective walkability variables more quantitatively. Pedestrians' emotions can be examined through surveys, but there are social and economic difficulties involved when conducting surveys. Recently, an increasing number of studies have employed physiological data to measure pedestrians' stress responses when navigating unpleasant environmental barriers on their walking paths. However, studies investigating the emotional states of pedestrians in the walking environment, including assessing their positive emotions felt, such as pleasure, have rarely been conducted. Using wearable devices, this study examined the various emotional states of pedestrians affected by the walking environment. Specifically, this study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring biometric data, such as electrodermal activity (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV), using wearable devices as an indicator of pedestrians' emotional states-both pleasant-unpleasant and aroused-relaxed states. To this end, various walking environments with different characteristics were set up to collect and analyze the pedestrians' biometric data. Subsequently, the subjects wearing the wearable devices were allowed to walk on the experimental paths as usual. After the experiment, the valence (i.e., pleasant or unpleasant) and arousal (i.e., activated or relaxed) scale of the pedestrians was identified through a bipolar dimension survey. The survey results were compared with many potentially relevant EDA and HRV signal features. The research results revealed the potential for physiological responses to indicate the pedestrians' emotional states, but further investigation is warranted. The research results were expected to provide a method to measure the subjective factors of walkability by measuring emotions and monitoring pedestrians' positive or negative feelings when walking to improve the walking environment. However, due to the lack of samples and other internal and external factors influencing emotions (which need to be studied further), it cannot be comprehensively concluded that the pedestrians' emotional states were affected by the walking environment.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to establish a large-scale database of patients with gastric cancer to facilitate the development of a nationalcancer management system and a comprehensive cancer control policy. Materials and Methods: An observational prospective cohort study on gastric cancer was initiated in 2010. A total of 14 cancer centers throughout the country and 152 researchers were involved in this study. Patient enrollment began in January 2011, and data regarding clinicopathological characteristics, life style-related factors, quality of life, as well as diet diaries were collected. Results: In total, 4,963 patients were enrolled until December 2014, and approximately 5% of all Korean patients with gastric cancer annually were included. The mean age was $58.2{\pm}11.5$ years, and 68.2% were men. The number of patients in each stage was as follows: 3,394 patients (68.4%) were in stage IA/B; 514 patients (10.4%), in stage IIA/B; 469 patients (9.5%), in stage IIIA/B/C; and 127 patients (2.6%), in stage IV. Surgical treatment was performed in 3,958 patients (79.8%), endoscopic resection was performed in 700 patients (14.1%), and 167 patients (3.4%) received palliative chemotherapy. The response rate for the questionnaire on the quality of life was 95%; however, diet diaries were only collected for 27% of patients. Conclusions: To provide comprehensive information on gastric cancer for patients, physicians, and government officials, a large-scale database of Korean patients with gastric cancer was established. Based on the findings of this cohort study, an effective cancer management system and national cancer control policy could be developed.

  • 국내에서는 복잡해지고 다양해지고 있는 건축물에서의 화재위험에 대응하기 위해 성능기반 화재안전 설계가 논의되고 있지만, 건축물에서의 다양한 인자들에 의한 화재특성의 에측의 어려움으로 인하여 성능기반 화재안전 설계의 도입이 제한되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 뉴질랜드에서 제시하고 있는 화재위험도별 화재하중 값의 실대형 화재실험을 통해 성능기반 설계 도입을 위한 기준 방향 설정 및 기초 자료로 사용하고자 하였다. 실대형 화재실험은 10 MW급의 실대형 칼로리미터에서 $0.8(L){\times}2.0(H)m$의 단일 개구부를 포함하고 있는 $2.4(L){\times}3.6(W){\times}2.4(H)m$ 크기의 시험체 틀의 내부에 목재 크립을 화재하중에 따라 배치시켜, 목재 크립이 전소할 때 까지 진행하였다. 화재실험에서 열방출률의 변화는 목재 크립에 화염이 착화 된 후 외부로 출화되는 약 90초 이후부터 급격히 증가하였으며, 위험도 레벨 1에서는 최대 4743.4 kW의 열발출률이 실험시작 후 244 초에 측정되었고 위험도 레벨 2에서는 5050.9 kW의 최대 열방출률이 497 초에 측정되었다. 또한 위험도 레벨 3에서는 최대 열방출률이 4446.9 kW로 실험시작 677 초에 측정되었다.
