Effect of brine mineral water(BMW) on contact hypersensitivity reaction(CHR) was estimated using trimellitic anhydride (TMA) induced CHR in the mouse. BMW exhibited potent inhibitory activity on TMA induced CHR. BMW treatment suppressed the ear swelling, and attenuated hyper-activated lymph nodes stimulated by TMA challenge, thereby reduced their weight. The immunological index was analyzed after BMW administration in CHR. The level of serum IGE was significantly down regulated after BMW treatment. Furthermore, BMW showed inhibitory property of cytokine production. BMW treatment suppressed not only Th2 type cytokine, IL-4 but also pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. From the histological analysis, the inflammatory context appeared by atopic dermatitis lesion after challenging with TMA are diminished by BMW treatment. Our results suggest that BMW may attenuate the development of CHR, and can be available for functional ingredient.

목적 : 발달장애아동의 질환별 감각처리능력을 파악하여 감각통합치료에 방향성을 제시 하고, 작업치료 전략을 수립하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 발달장애아동의 질환별 감각처리능력을 파악하기 위하여 임윤정 등(2007)이 한국어로 번역한 Sensory Profile을 사용 하였다. 연구대상은 발달장애아동으로 진단받은 아동을 양육하고 있는 보호자에게 설문조사에 대한 동의를 얻어 2009년 3월부터 2010년 2월까지 방문 및 우편 배부를 하여, 총 325명의 자료가 분석에 사용되었다. 자료 분석은 일반적 특성과 감각처리능력의 감각영역 14항목과 감각요인 9항목은 빈도 분석하였으며, 감각통합처리기술을 비교하기 위하여 일요인 분산분석을 실시하였다. 그리고 사후검정은 Scheffe 검정을 하였다. 연구결과 : 감각영역에서 G영역(지구력/근긴장도 조절)이 네 집단(ADHD아동, 자폐아동, 정신지체아동, 발달지연 아동)에서 모두 문제범주로 나타났다. 발달장애아동의 질환별 감각요인 비교에서 요인1(감각추구)과 요인2(정서반응)가 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.01). 결론 : 발달장애아동은 역치와 행동의 관계를 설명하는 4개의 감각모델(감각등록저하, 감각민감성, 감각회피, 감각 찾기) 중 감각등록저하에 공통적인 문제점을 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로는 정상아동과의 연구를 통해서 발달장애아동과의 차이를 판별할 수 있는 기준을 결정할 수 있는 후속연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

This study was carried out to suggest basic data for the preparation of standardized guidances for diseases arising out of duty by reviewing the standards for the acknowledgment of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases due to occupational cases, and it has a significance in that it suggests target diseases that may be judged as cerebral and cardiovascular diseases, legal criteria for the acknowledgment and standards for the judgment of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases arising out of duty.

Because of the irreversible nature of periodontal disease, early diagnosis is an important aspect of management of patients with periodontal disease. Human saliva is an attractive medium for disease diagnosis because its collection is noninvasive and simple. Analysis of saliva may be especially beneficial in the determination of current periodontal status and serve as means for the screening of periodontal disease. In the present study, we investigated potential biochemical markers in whole saliva samples for the screening of periodontal disease using proteomics technique. We enrolled five subjects each from four different groups on the basis of measures of periodontal health (healthy group, gingivitis group, chronic periodontitis group and aggressive periodontitis group). Eleven proteins in whole saliva samples were identified as differentially expressed proteins between the healthy and periodontal disease groups using 2-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight / time-of-flight mass spectrophotometry (MADLI-TOF/TOF MS) approaches. Although the diagnostic value of oral fluid has been recognized for some time and potential biomarkers of periodontal disease have been identified in saliva, this, to our knowledge, is one of the first studies to examine large-scale proteomic profiling to identify the extent of periodontal destruction. Thus, this work provides an important framework for future efforts aimed at understanding salivary responses to periodontal destruction and predicting the future disease progression.

This study collected 217 cases of court ruling statements for the cases over which administrative litigations were made regarding the acknowledgment of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases arising out of duty against Korea Labor Welfare Corporation and analyzed the factors of occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage and infarction and the Court cases of cancelation and dismissal of the litigation. As a result, due to seasonal factors, cerebral hemorrhage occurred more in the winter while cerebral infarction, in spring. The incidences for each age group were the higest in people in their 40s for cerebral hemorrhage while in those in their 50s for cerebral infarction, it turned that the incidence inside the places of business was the highest. The average days from application for care and family benefits until the confirmation of the case was 31 months on average for 34 canceled cases while 23 months for 183 dismissed ones, and the average number of months working until the occurrence of accident was 80.8 months for the 34 canceled cases while 77.6 for the 183 dismissed ones. This study has a significance in that it analyzed leading cases of confirmed administrative litigations in some cases applied for diseases due to occupational cases after the occurrence of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases but not approved, through which it is expected to be used as the basic data to reduce time and economic loss generated by the litigations to judge the acknowledgment of diseases due to occupational cases.

Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of deaths among workers as well as in general population in Korea. Occupational stress like long working hours or overwork can cause sudden unexpected death in a worker who had been suffering from an aggravated preexisting condition such as hypertensive or arteriosclerotic diseases, The Korean government has compensated the cases of cerebrovascular disease and cardiovascular disease due to overwork, but neither a resonable definition of overwork nor detailed evaluation guideline has been officially provided to verify overwork, so that the prevention of, as well as compensation for workers' occupational stress-related cardiovascular attacks, cannot be carried out efficiently. A thorough understanding of the etiopathology of WR-CVDs can be very helpful in developing a prevention strategy.
