Objective. Productivity loss was compared by 3-stage of disease activity and associations between higher disease activity and high productivity loss were identified. Methods. Data were extracted from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Patient-reported Outcomes Research, which enrolled 2,000 RA patients (>20-year) on disease-modifying-antirheumatic-drugs (DMARDs) (≥ 6-month) from December 2012 to June 2013. This included 1,457 RA patients with the disease activity score (DAS-28-ESR) in their medical charts. Productivity loss in time and indirect cost was estimated using The World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ). Baseline characteristics and productivity loss outcomes were compared according to DAS-28-ESR groups. Results. 84.4% were females, 54.2% had low DAS-28-ESR (<3.2), and 38.2% and 7.6% had moderate (3.2∼5.1) and high DAS-28-ESR (>5.1). Patients with moderate to high DAS-28-ESR had higher lost productivity time (LPT) and monthly costs of LPT than those with low DAS-28-ESR (time in hours: 110.0±58.4 vs. 132.4±57.2 vs. 71.5±52.0, p<0.0001; monthly costs of LPT in 1,000 Korean won: 1,097±607 vs. 1,302±554 vs. 741±531, p<0.0001). Multiple regression analyses revealed significant associations with high LPT in high (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=3.87, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.18∼6.87) and moderate DAS-28-ESR (adjusted OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.41∼2.52) compared to low DAS-28-ESR. In addition, positive associations with high monthly costs of LPT were observed in high (adjusted OR=3.45, 95% CI: 1.98∼5.99) and moderate DAS-28-ESR (adjusted OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.43∼2.54) compared to low DAS-28-ESR. Conclusion. Timely therapeutic strategies should be taken into consideration given that the RA patients with moderate to high DAS-28-ESR showed strong associations with high productivity loss for effective management of RA.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the behavioral and emotional problems associated with nocturnal enuresis in Korean children. Methods : Three hundred eighteen children with nocturnal enuresis, together with their parents, completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Disruptive Behavior Disorder Scale according to DSM-IV (DBDS), Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), and Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale (PHCSC). Ninety-three normal students were selected as the control group. Results : Compared to the normal control group, the mean scores with regard to the withdrawn, social problems, attention problems, delinquent behavior, aggressive behavior, externalizing problems and total problems profiles were significantly higher in the nocturnal enuresis group according to the CBCL results. The nocturnal enuresis group also scored significantly higher in the ADHD and ODD profiles of the DBDS. The nocturnal enuresis group was more depressed and anxious than the control group according to the results of the CDI and STAI. The mean score of the PHCSC was significantly lower in the nocturnal enuresis group when compared to the normal control group. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that children with nocturnal enuresis in Korea have clinically relevant behavioral and emotional problems. The findings support the link between nocturnal enuresis and psychopathology in Korean children.

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

정병천,박순홍,이주영,이신원,정성창,김정국,하승우,김보완 대한비만학회 2003 The Korean journal of obesity Vol.12 No.2

연구배경: 비만은 제2형 당뇨병의 중요한 병인이면서 죽상경화성 동맥질환의 위험인자인 인슐린 저항성, 지질대사 이상 및 고혈압의 원인으로도 인정되고 있다. 한편 비만에 의한 대사성 및 혈관 합병증은전신적 지방량의 증가보다 복강내 지방축적이 병인적 중요성을 가지고 있다고 한다 그러나 국내의 제2형 당뇨병 환자를 차상으로 비만과 이들 죽상경화증 위험인자와의 상관관계를 연구 조사한 성적은 많지않다. 이에 제2형 당뇨병 환자에서 전신적 비만과 복강내 지방 축적을 반영하는 각각의 신체계측지수들과 죽상경화증 위험인자와의 상관성을 검토함으로써 국내 제2형 당뇨병 환자의 비만도가 대사성 및 혈관성 합병증에 미치는 영향과 신체계측지수들의 임상적 가치를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법 : 제2형 당뇨병 환자 425명 (남자 196명, 여자 229명)을 차상으로 하였다 임상적 단백뇨가 있거나 인슐린 치료, 혈압강하제 또는 지질대사개선제를 복용하는 환자는 제외시켰다. 전신 비만은 체용적지수 그리고 피부두겹 두께로 산출한 체지방률을, 복강내 지방축적도는 허리둘레 및 요둔위비를 이용하였다. 죽상경화증의 위험인자로는 혈당 조절 정도를 나타내는 공복 혈당과 당화혈색소 농도, 인슐린 저항성을 나타내는 공복 인슐린 및 C-peptide 농도, 지질 대사 상태를 나타내는 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 및 저밀도지단백 콜레스테롤 농도 그리고 수축기 및 이완기 혈압을 선택하였다. 전신 비만지수 및 복부 비만지수와 이들 위험인자와의 상관관계는 연령과 당뇨병 이환기간을 보정하고 편상관분석법을 사용하였다. 결과: 1 여성군에서 남성군에 비해 체용적지수(24.2 대 23.0kg/㎡, p<0.01) 및 체지방률(23.8 대13.5%, p<0.01)은 다소 높았으나 허리둘레 (87.0 대 85.8 cm)와 요둔위비 (0.96 대 0.96)는 차이가 없었다. 2. 인슐린 저항성을 반영하는 공복 인슐린 및 C-peptide 농도는 체용적지수. 체지방률, 허리둘레 및 요둔위비가 커질수록 증가하는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(상관차수 0.21∼0.42, 모두 p<0.05). 3. 혈청 지질중에는 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤만이 남성 환자군에서 비만지수들과 약한 음의 상관성을 보이는 경향이었고, 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방농도는 상관성이 없었다. 4. 수축기 및 이완기 혈압은 남성군에서만 체용적지수. 체지방률, 허리둘레 및 요둔위비가 커질수록 상승하는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(상관차수 0.21∼0.33, 모두 p.0.05). 결론. 국내 제2형 당뇨병 환자들의 전신 비만도 및 복부 비만도가 서구인에 비해 심하지는 않으나 포도당 대사, 인슐린 저항성, 지질 대사 및 고혈압에 위해한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수준에 이르고 있으며 이는 결국 죽상경화증의 위험인자로도 작용하게 될 것임을 시사한다고 하겠다. 그리고 신체계측을 통한전신 비만 및 복부 비만 지수 모두가 당뇨병 및 죽상경화증의 위험을 간접적으로 예견하는 유용한 척도가 될 수 있을 것이다. Background: Obesity is the powerful risk factor for type 2 diabetes and also associated with a significantly increased risk of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Although obese individuals have these diseases, the relationship between obesity and these diseases was not certain until regional fat distribution was taken into account. Reports about the relationship between obesity and the risk factors of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetics in Korea are very rare. To evaluate the relative importance of anthropometric indices on the development of atherosclerosis and obesity-related metabolic and vascular complications, the correlations of these indices with the risk factors for atherosclerosis were studied. Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=425, male 196, female 229) who not used antihy- pertensives or anti-lipidemic agents were investigated. Body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (%BF) estimated by skinfold-thickness in assessing generalized adiposity, and waist circumference (Wc) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in assessing visceral adiposity were taken as anthropometric indices. We included the indicators of glycemic control (fasting blood sugar and HbAlc), insulin resistance (fasting serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations), lipid abnormalities (serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol concentrations), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure as risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. Partial correlations of the anthropometric indices with those risk factors were investigated with adjustment of age and duration of illness. Results: 1. BMI and %BF in female patients group were higher than those in male (24.2 vs 23.0 kg/㎡, 23.8 vs 13.5%, respectively, p<0.01 in all) although Wc and WHR were similar between both groups. In general, both body adiposity and abdominal obesity in them were much lower than in the Western. 2. Serum insulin and C-peptide levels were positively correlated with BMI, %BF, Wc and WHR (r=0.21~42, p<0.05 in all). 3. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL- cholesterol were not correlated with any anthropometric indices. A weak negative correlation of serum HDL-cholesterol with these indices was found in male patients group. 4. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were positively correlated with all these indices only in male group (r=0.21~33, p<0.05 in all). Conclusion: These results suggested that the severity of both generalized and visceral adiposity in these patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were only mild but adiposity with abdominal distribution of body fat in diabetes mellitus could be a significant risk factor of developing atherosclerosis. In clinical practice, these anthropometric indices indicating general adiposity and abdominal obesity may provide useful information for predicting disease risks, especially of diabetes and cardio- vascular disease indirectly.

Generally, digital circuit has been designed on the basis that the result by simulated by the arranged tool for plan. In other words, for simulations gate or library sent by IC Cooperation is connected through the schematic editor and the necessary signals for input such as clock signal are supplied. In this way they study the result of simulation. But in this study I found out a new simulation method which is more efficient than the older one in the past. I put a state diagram and state table into tool for design in order to avoid the complexity of circuit input such as combination logic circuit or sequential logic circuit. Then, symbols produced in this way were applied to the schematic editor for simulation.

정인성,신동훈,백원기 大韓産業醫學會 2000 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.12 No.3

목 적 : 본 실험은 소음성 감각신경성난청 환자의 말초혈액의 백혈구에서의 분자생물학적인 기법으로 분석하여 mtDNA 돌연변이 (3243A-)G)와 소음성 감각신경성난청과의 관련성을 조사하였다. 방 법 : 소음성 감각신경성난청으로 진단된 환자를 대상으로 말초혈액 백혈구로부터 DNA를 추출한 후, DNA중합효소의 연속적인 반응을 이용하여 DNA를 대량으로 증폭하는 방법, 중합효소연쇄반응 (polymerase chain reaction:이하 PCR)으로 증폭한 후 유전자 제한효소로 소화된 mtDNA frag meat를 2 % 한천 gel에서 전기영동하고 ethidium bromide용액으로 염색하여 UV transilluminator에서 관찰하였다. 그리고 PCR산물을 T-vector를 이용하여 cloning 한 다음 DNA염기서열 분석을 실시하여 mtDNA A3243G 돌연변이를 관찰하였다. 결 과 : MtDNA 돌연변이 부위가 포함된 294bp fragment가 대조군, 감각신경성난청 환자군,그리고 소음성 감각신경성난청 환자군 모두에서 증폭됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 294 bp fragment가 나타난 P7R산물을 restriction endonuclease Apal으로 처리한 결과 digested fragment(179 bp와 115 bp)를 관찰할 수 없었으므로 mtDNA 돌연변이(3243A-)G)가 일어나지 않았음을 알 수 있었다. MtDNA 돌연변이(3243A-)G)가 관찰되지 않은 PCR산물을 이용하여 DNA 염기서열을 분석하여 mtDNA 3243부위에서의 염기서열을 확인한 결과 이미 밝혀진 사람의 mtDNA 3243부위의 엽기서열과 동일한 염기서열임 이 확인되었으므로 mtDNA 돌연변이(3243A-)G)가 일어나지 않았음을 확인하였다. 결 론 : 소음성 감각신경성 난청, 정상대조군에서도 돌연변이는 관찰되지 않았으므로 소음성 감각신경성 난청과 mtDNA 돌연변이(3243A-)G)는 관련성이 없음을 알 수 있었다. Objectives : A different sequence change, In the mitochondrial tRNA LEU(UUR) gene, has been proposed as a candidate mutation in the sensorineurnal hearing loss. The purpose of current study is to identify the association between the noise-induced sensorineurnal hear- ing loss and the A to G mutation at nucleotide 3243 of mitochondrial DNA. Methods : Subjects were established by history and chart review, and audiological and clinical data were obtained. Blood was sampled from 101 controls, 50 noise-induced hear- ing loss, and 12 sensorineural deafness. The DNA of these individuals was extracted, and mitochondrial genome was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, the cod inly sequence of mitochondrial genome was sequenced, and compared to the normal sequence, and all sequence variations were analyzed by restriction endonuclease Apal. Results : Mitochondrlal BNA mutation (3243A-)G) was not detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in any patients with noise-induced hearing loss, sensorineural hear-ing loss, and normal control without hearing loss In Koreans. The DNA sequencing of PCR products did not revealed an A to G substitution at nucleotide 3243 of mitochondrial DNA. Conclusions : The noise-induced sensorineural hearing loss was not associated with mitochondrial DNA mutation (3243A-)G).

A cycloidal curve is generated as the trajectory of a point rigidly connected to the circle that rolls over another circle. There are several examples of application of cycloidal gearing not only in instruments but in machines as well that show the strength of positions that are still kept by cycloidal gearing. This program includes three modules. In the initial data input module, the variables which are necessary to design of gear are inputted by user. In the analysis and design module, The informations on a gear tooth profile is gotten through analysis of gear and the tooth profile is drawn. and In the last module, NC code for cycloidal gear is producted by Biarc curve fitting with position coordinates of gear tooth profile and pressure angles.
