목적 : 한국인의 개방각 녹내장 및 폐쇄각 녹내장의 평균 발생률을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 본 연구는 국민건강보험공단에서 제공하는 표본코호트 자료에서 2011년 1월 1일을 기준으로 등록된 총 1,033,624명의 대상자 중 기존에 녹내장 진단을 받은 14,306명과 2011년도에 편입된 신생아 9,631명을 제외한 1,009,687명(남성 505,466명, 여성 504,221명)을 연구대상으로 하였다. 연구대상자의 표본코호트 자료를 검색하여 2011년도부터 2015년도 사이에 1차성 개방각 녹내장과 1차성 폐쇄각 녹내장 진단을 받은 대상의 수를 분자로 하고 연구대상 집단의 총 관찰기간(인년, person-year)을 분모로 하여 전체 대상, 성별, 연령별, 그리고 지역별로 발생률을 계산하였다. 결과 : 원발성 개방각녹내장의 5년간 발생률은 10만 인년 당 98.99명이었고, 남성에서 98.92명, 여성에서 99.07명이었다. 연령대에 따른 원발성 개방각녹내장의 5년간 발생률은 10만 인년 당 10세 미만에서 0.93명, 10대에서 10.36명, 20대에서 26.78명, 30대에서 47.37명, 40대에서 78.93명, 50대에서 147.04명, 60대에서 294.47 명, 70대에서 418.66명, 80세 이상에서 327.86명으로 나타났다. 원발성 폐쇄각녹내장의 5년간 발생률은 10만 인년 당 전체 대상에서 15.36명이었고, 남성에서 9.34명, 여성에서 21.37명으로 여성에서 높았다. 연령대에 따른 원발성 폐쇄각녹내장의 5년간 발생률은 10만 인년 당 10세 미만에서 0명, 10대에서 0.29명, 20대에서 2.06명, 30대에서 3.15명, 40대에서 5.95명, 50대에서 19.08명, 60대에서 69.03명, 70대에서 80.62명, 80세 이상에서 56.95명으로 조사되었다. 결론 : 한국인의 녹내장 발생률을 조사한 결과 젊은 층의 녹내장 발생률이 상당히 높게 나타났으며 40세 이상 성인뿐만 아니라 최소 20대부터 적절한 검사와 관리를 해야만 한다고 보여진다.

For the purpose of disclosing estimated annual incidence rate and causative factors of traumatic spinal cord injury and obtaining basic data for the establishment of effective measures to prevent this injury, the medical record of 204 cases of Seoul residents with spinal cord injury which admitted in 46 general hospitals and National rehabilitation center located in Seoul, including Sam Yook Rehabilitation Center and Jung Ang Hospital in Kyungi do and occurred in 1995 were analyzed. The results were as follows: 1) The estimated annual incidence rate of traumatic spinal cord injury in 1995 of Seoul residents was 20.5 per million population. This incidence rate was the highest in the 40th years (34.1), followed by in the 50th years (26.5) and in the 20th years (25.6) in descending order. 2) The incidence rate ratio between male and female was 3.5:1. 3) The leading cause of injury was the highest in traffic accidents (42.2%), followed by falls from elevation (29.4%) and falls on the same level (9.8%). 4) Traffic accident mainly occured from 20th years to 40th years and falls from elevation in 50th years. 5) The level of spinal cord injury was the highest in cervical cord (63.2%), followed by the thoracic cord (21.1%) and lumbosacral cord (15.7%). Traffic accidents mainly caused in cervical cord injury whereas thoracic cord injury and lumbosacral cord injury were caused from falls from elevation. Above theconsiderations in mind, it suggested that in order to prevent traumatic spinal cord injuries, safety education of falls from elevation should be focused on the 20th years and 50th years male, moreover safety education of traffic accidents will be needed in the 30th years and 40th years male.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of enhanced light transmission on plant growth, photosynthetic ability, and disease tolerance to leaf blight, anthracnose in ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, Araliacease family) during the early growth stage (April to June). The photosynthetic ratio, stomatal conductance, and stem diameter of plants grown under a shade net with 15% light transmission rate showed an increasing trend compared to the control plants (5% light transmission rate) although the growth of the aerial parts were not influenced significantly. Plant height, stem length, and leaf length of treated plants were not significantly different from those of the control plants. Root parameters, such as root length, diameter, and weight of treated plants increased significantly compared to the control. Yield performance (187.4 ㎏• 10 a−1) of treated plants was 55.5% higher than that of the control (150.4 ㎏• 10 a−1). Additionally, disease severity scores of treated plants were lower than those of the control plants, revealing higher survival rates. To retain high yield potential and enhance the level of disease tolerance in ginseng, we suggest the increase of light transmission rate during the early growth stage.
