This study investigated the association between dietary intake and 10-year risk for CHD predicted from Framingham risk score in Korean adults using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019-2020. Eight thousand subjects (3,382 men and 4,618 women) aged 30 years or older were classified into three groups according to the 10-year CHD risk (%). The sociodemographics, anthropometrics indices, blood profiles, and dietary intake were collected. After adjusting for confounding variables, the mean adequacy ratio (MAR) decreased for both men and women as the disease risk increased. The high–risk group was below the MAR criteria, indicating that the overall quality of the meal was not good. The highest consumers of legumes (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.84), fruits (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.93), and fish (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.42-0.87) had a 44%, 33%, and 40% lower 10-year CHD risk than lowest consumers in men, respectively. In women, there is no significant relationship between food groups and disease risk. Therefore, improving lifestyle habits such as weight control, increased activity, and adequate food intake, especially legumes, fruits, and fish rich in antioxidant nutrients and bioactive substances, appears to have a potential association with preventing coronary heart disease in Korean adults.

EBV-positive mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is an indolent, superficial lymphoproliferative disorder that occurs in either iatrogenic or age-associated immunocompromised patients with latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Although EBVMCU is histologically similar with other lymphoproliferative disorders, such as EBV-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma, the diseases are classified as distinct entities by the World Health Organization with different clinical manifestations, prognosis, and genetic profiles. EBVMCU commonly shows spontaneous regression by conservative management, reduction or cessation of immunosuppressive treatment, but local progression is possible. Complete remission of disease can be achieved with combination of surgical resection, chemotherapy and local radiation therapy. Herein, we report 2 cases of oral superficial lymphoproliferative disorders arising adjacent to the gnathic bone with striking differences in prognosis and bone involvement. One of the cases induced extensive osteomyelitis in the underlying bone. Furthermore, we discussed the differential diagnosis of EBVMCU and reviewed the former literature.

In order to conduct a study on the importance of the wrist joint, which causes a lot of pain among middle-aged people, in relation to work related to musculoskeletal disorders, the effect of stretching on grasping power was studied. In order to compare the grasping power of the wrist for middle-aged people in their 50s, the experiment was conducted by comparing before and after the wrist joint motion stretching. According to the experimental results of wrist gripping power for the control group and the experiment group on wrist gripping power, it was investigated that stretching did not change much in increasing wrist gripping power, but stretching application had an effect on wrist gripping power. In terms of preventing musculoskeletal accidents, reducing pain due to degenerative diseases, and preventing accidents, stretching seems to have an effect when approaching, so it is considered that continuous stretching before and after work is necessary. Therefore, it is suggested that stretching time secured quantitatively through safety and health education before work is necessary.

This study was performed to develop a Kdiet-index based on the definitions and characteristics of traditional Korean food. The Korean Food Pattern Index (Kdiet-index) for diseases was applied using dietary data from the 2017 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and the association between Kdiet-index and metabolic disease was confirmed. The study subjects were 1,971 Korean adults aged >40, and the components were classified according to 14 criteria used to establish the Kdiet-index. Main ingredients up to the top 3 were designated using dish names, ingredients, and contents using KNHANES dietary data. Kdiet-index was classified using scores of ≤3 points, 4-7 points, and ≥8 points and total Kdietindex were calculated by summing dietary scores. Correlations between Kdiet-index and obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes were analyzed. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for obesity were 0.531, 0.385~0.732 and for elevated cholesterol (≥240 mg/dL) indices were 0.471, 0.282~0.788, respectively, which showed a significant decreased in the risk for each disease for Kdiet-index of ≥8 points. This study confirms that metabolically related clinical results improved significantly as Kdiet-index increased and that higher Korean food pattern indices are associated with lower risks of metabolic disease

초음파 내시경 검사는 내시경 선단에 달린 초음파 탐지자를 이용하여 위장관 내에서 초음파를 이용하여 주변 장기를 관찰하는 검사다. 초음파 내시경을 이용하면 췌장을 고해상도로 실시간 관찰하면서 병소에 대한 조직 검사가 가능하다. 초음파 내시경 유도하 조직 검사는 지난 20여 년간 초음파 내시경 및 세침의 발전과 해부학적 구조의 이해 및 내시경을 통한 조직 검사 술기 등의 발전으로 췌장 질환에 대한 기본적인 비수술적 조직 검사가 되었다. 본고에서는 최근에 발표된 유럽 및 국내 가이드라인에서 언급하고 있는 내시경 초음파 유도하 조직 검사의 췌장 병변에서의 활용 기준과 다양한 종류의 조직 세침의 특성에 따른 선택, rapid on site evaluation, stylet 및 음압의 사용, fanning technique 등 검사에서 고려할 사항 및 조직 검체 처리 방법, 합병증 및 교육에 대해서 간략히 기술하였다.

Diet is important for muscle health and offers a protective effects against the loss of skeletal muscle mass and physical functions with advancing age. We analyzed the relationship between diet, metabolic disease risk, and sarcopenia in Korean female adults using the 2009-2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). A total of 2038 adult women aged 50-64 years were classified into four groups based on the diagnosis of menopause and sarcopenia. The groups were the non-menopause and non-sarcopenia group (NMNS, n=249), the non-menopause and sarcopenia group (NMS, n=14), the menopause and non-sarcopenia group (MNS, n=1,653), and the menopause and sarcopenia group (MS, n=122). The socio-demographics, anthropometrics, blood profile, and dietary data of the subjects were collected. Those who were in both the sarcopenia groups were more obese (p<0.001), had greater waist circumferences (p<0.001), higher body mass index (p<0.001), and higher obesity rates (p<0.001) after adjustment for covariants. Both the sarcopenia groups also had higher plasma levels of total cholesterol (p<0.001), HbA1c (p=0.001), and vitamin D (p=0.020) than both the non-sarcopenia groups. Both the sarcopenia groups demonstrated a decreased intake of calcium (p=0.05), potassium (p=0.008), and niacin (p=0.008) than both the non-sarcopenia ones. Among the four groups, the NMS group showed the highest levels of total cholesterol, obesity, and lowest intake of micronutrients such as calcium, niacin, and potassium. Thus, muscle mass maintenance through weight control and adequate nutrient intake appears to demonstrate a potential association with preventing sarcopenia in Korean middle-aged women.

In this study, data from the 7th (2016~2018) and 8th (2019) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were used, which included 5,325 subjects. Health behavior, dietary and nutrient intake status, physical measurement and biochemical characteristics, and risk factors for elderly related chronic diseases were classified and analyzed according to the changing composition of single households and other households in the current society. As a result, the ratio of current smokers and drinkers in young adult single households, walking less than 30 minutes per day, subjective health status was poor, breakfast rate less than three times per week, eating out frequency more than once a day, lipid intake ratio to total calories, saturation fatty acid intake were significantly higher. In addition, waist circumference, and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher. However, dietary fiber intake level was significantly lower. The results for hypertension, which is the representative chronic disease that causes old age-related chronic diseases, were significantly higher in single households (ORs=1.400 (95% CI: 1.095, 1.791), p=0.007). Although young adults may not have showed particularly serious health problems yet, education is believed as important to recognize and prevent age-related disease risk factors.

질환(vyādhi), 곧 소변질환(prameha)은 병인, 도샤와 조직의 균형 상태가 깨질 때 발현을 한다. 그러므로 이러한 병인, 도샤와 조직이 무엇인지, 무슨 작용과 기능이 있는지를 아는 것이 중요하다. 소변질환에는 ①까파 도샤로부터 발병한 소변질환, ②삣따 도샤로부터 발병한 소변질환과 ③바따 도샤로부터 발병한 소변질환이 있다. ①에는 열 가지, ②는 여섯 가지, 그리고 ③은 네 가지 소변질환이 있다. 이들 소변질환 가운데 ①은 치료할 수 있고, ② 는 치료는 잘 안되지만 완화는 할 수 있으며, ③은 거의 치료할 수 없다고 한다. 이들에 대한 대표적인 치료법에는 식이요법, 제거요법과 완화요법이 있다. 이들 가운데 식이요법에 대한 내용이 가장 많고, 또한 각 도샤별로 음식물의 조리법(pāka)이 제시되어 있다. 여기서 특이할 것은 음식물 가운데 가장 많이 사용하는 빈도는 보리와 꿀이다. 이들은 우리의 일상생활에서 건강 유지에 필수적인 것으로 간주되듯이 아유르베다에서도 만성 질환인 소변 질환의 치료와 완화에 가장 많이 사용되고 있다는 점이다.

The　possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders increases with the length of service of the worker. Musculoskeletal disorders can occur when performing repetitive and forceful movements. Therefore, Cargo drivers operate repeatedly in the wrong posture for a long time. When loading and unloading a cargo, the cargo driver works repeatedly with force. Cargo operators are also exposed to musculoskeletal disorders in the working environment due to poor posture and repetitive movements. In this study, we are going to conduct a study on the level of awareness and prevention of the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders in cargo drivers for long periods of time. As a result of the study, the factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders in each group can occur during the long-term operation and preparation of drivers.

The petroleum refinery industry handles a variety of complex chemical substances and employs a large number of people around the world. According to previous research, diseases caused by exposure to chemicals were quite common among workers in refineries until the 1980s. More recently, it is unusual for oil refinery workers to suffer from these serious diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the occurrence level of general diseases and any differences in lifestyle habits of workers in refineries in Korea compared with the general population. In this study, we used the results of health examinations from 2014 for workers at a large oil refinery in South Korea. In addition, based on the results of KNHANES from 2014 as representative of the population, hypertension, diabetes, anemia, hyperlipidemia, liver function abnormality, and kidney function abnormality were calculated using the standardized incidence rate. Hypertension showed a low result with an SIR of less than 1, but a high result in the case of abnormal liver function. The workers’ occurrence rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, kidney dysfunction, and anemia were lower than those of ordinary salaried employees. however, their occurrence rate for abnormal liver function was markedly higher. In lifestyle habits, the smoking rate of workers was low while the alcohol consumption rate was quite high. This study has improved the understanding of the health status of workers in a large oil refinery in Korea, and has shown the impact of lifestyle habits related to the work environment on chronic diseases.

근래 정신질환자의 범죄가 언론에 자주 보도되고 있다. 이들의 처벌, 치료 혹은 처우가 사회적으로 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 그동안의 판례와 실무는 별다른 이견 없이 정신질환자의 범죄를 심신장애의 문제로 치환하여 왔다. 그래서 정신질환자에 대한 형사절차는 정신감정을 통해 행위자가 올바른 책임능력을 갖추었는지 판단하는데 집중되어 왔다. 그러나 정신질환자가 겪는 여러 증상을 바탕으로 그의 시각에서 세상을 바라본다면 다른 논리가 가능하다. 정신질환자는 비정신질환자가 바라보는 방식대로 세상을 바라보지 않는다. 즉 정신질환자는 외계에 대한 인식이 비정신질환자와 다르다. 특히 조현병이나 인식장애를 앓고 있는 사람은 범죄구성요건으로의 객관적 사실에 대한 인식을 하지 못하였다고 볼 여지가 있다. 마찬가지로 충동조절장애나 해리장애를 앓고 있는 사람은 자신의 의사와 관계없이 외적 행동이 이루어지는 경우가 많다. 그들 에게는 범죄의 의사가 없다고 볼 여지가 있다. 결국 정신질환자의 범죄행위를 논할 때는 책임능력이 아니라 주관적 구성요건의 단계에서부터 진지한 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 판례와 실무는 정신질환자의 행위에 대해 당연히 고의가 존재함을 전제로 하여, 다음 단계로 나아가는 것 같지만 이는 잘못이다. 다만 판례와 실무의 태도는 현실을 고려한 어쩔 수 없는 결론일 수 있다. 정신질환자의 고의나 과실이 부정된다면 그에게 어떠한 형벌이나 보안처분도 과할 수 없고 이는 사회보호의 측면에서 문제를 발생시키기 때문이다. 정신질환자에게 무죄판결을 선고하면서 치료감호 등의 보안처분도 할 수 없다면 법감정상 받아들이기 어려운 결과가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 공백을 메우고 형법의 기본원칙에 충실을 기하기 위해서는 현재의 해석론만 가지고는 한계가 있고, 추가적인 입법적 개선 노력이 필요하다고 생각되는 바이다.

This study compared the lifestyle patterns, dietary patterns, and health care practices of Korean middle-aged people by household type, and ultimately analyzed their relationship with different risk factors for the prevalence and severity of metabolic syndrome. We analyzed the data from 4,755 subjects who were from 40 to 64 years old, and gathered our sample from participants of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2015. Our results showed that single-person households had lower economic income levels, lower subjective health statuses, and higher levels of food instability than households with two or more individuals. The incidence of metabolic syndrome was 1.64 times higher in single-person households than in households with two or more individuals. After adjusting for potential confounding factors (sex, age, education, household income, smoking status, health status, and dietary factors), single-person households showed 1.75 times higher hypertriglyceridemia ORs than non-single-person households. In the conclusion of our study, we suggest that middle-aged people in single-person households may be at greater risk for metabolic syndrome and hypertriglyceridemia.
