구인영(Ku, In-Young),문선정(Moon, Seon-Jeong),가경환(Ka, Kyung-Hwan),박민경(Park, Min-Kyoung) 한국산학기술학회 2016 한국산학기술학회논문지 Vol.17 No.2

본 연구는 안면부 신경병증 통증 모델에서 간극결합을 분리하는 Carbenoxolone(CBX)과 P2X 수용체의 길항제 (iso-PPADS)의 진통작용을 확인하고자 수행되었다. 실험동물은 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐(240~280g)를 사용하였으며, 안 면부 신경병증 통증을 유발하기 위해 흰쥐의 하악 왼쪽 두 번째 어금니를 발거하고, 아랫 이틀신경의 손상을 유도하기 위해 소형 치과용 임플란트를 식립하였다. CBX를 복강으로 하루 2번 투여 했을 때, 25ug/kg에서 유의한 진통반응이 나타났다 (p<0.05). iso-PPADS 역시 복강으로 하루 2번 투여 했을 때, 25ug/kg에서 유의한 진통반응이 나타났다(p<0.05). 두 약물의 각각의 효과가 나타나지 않은 저 농도에서 함께 투여하였을 때, CBX 1ug/kg, iso-PPADS 2.5ug/kg를 투여 시 유의한 진통 효과가 나타났다(p<0.05). 저 농도의 CBX를 이용한 간극결합의 차단과 저 농도의 P2X 수용체의 길항제를 함께 투여 시 구강 안면신경병증통증기전에서 통증을 억제하는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 CBX를 이용한 간극결합의 차 단과 P2X 수용체의 길항제의 투여가 안면부 통증조절에 중요한 역할을 담당할 것으로 사료된다. The study was conducted to confirm the analgesic effects of the Carbenoxolone(CBX)and P2X receptor antagonist(iso-PPADS), which separates the gap junction in the facial neuropathic pain model. The experiment used white male Sprague-Dawley rats (240~280g)/ The second left molars on the lower jaw was extracted to induce facial neuropathic pain, and small dental implants were implanted to induce damage to the inferior alveolar nerve. When CBX was injected twice daily to the abdominal cavity, a significant analgesic effect at 5ug/kg was observed(p<0.05). In addition, when iso-PPADS was injected twice daily into the abdominal cavity, a significant analgesic reaction was observed at 25μg/kg(p<0.05). When the two drugs were injected together at a low concentration, in which they did not display an effect, they displayed a significant analgesic reaction at CBX 1ug/kg and iso-PPADS 2.5ug/kg(p<0.05). When a gap injunction block using a low concentration of CBX and a low concentration P2X receptor antagonist was injected together, the pain suppressing effect was observed against the orofacial neuropathic pain mechanism. These results make it possible to determine that the gap junction block using CBX and the injection of the P2X receptor antagonist plays an important role in the pain management of the facial region.

The purpose of this study was to collect basic data for developing strategies and education programs that can induce children to build behavioral patterns that can promote their oral health. Thus, for this study, a self-administered survey was conducted among teachers at the rural community children centers and a total of 394 questionnaires were analyzed. The collected data were processed using SPSS/Win 22.0 to perform descriptive statistics, reliability test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Duncan`s test. The obtained results from this study are the following. Severity among sub-areas of oral health belief varied statistically significantly by marital status, education, and position. The respondents who were married, who were graduate school graduates or received higher education levels, and those who were directors had relatively higher levels of severity. Benefits varied statistically significantly by counseling education service status. Those in charge of counseling education service had higher levels of benefits. Importance varied statistically significantly by age, marital status, education, position, service duration, childcare teacher`s qualification status, and clerical and administrative service status. The respondents who were aged ≥50 years, who were married, who were graduate school graduates or at higher education levels, who were directors, who had been employed for 1-<2 years or for ≥5 years, who had childcare teacher`s license, and who were in charge of clerical and administrative work had higher levels of importance. Oral health knowledge varied statistically significantly by gender, education, service duration, and teacher`s qualification status. Those who were female, who were graduate school graduates or at higher education levels, who had been employed for <1 year or for ≥5 years, and who had teacher`s license had better oral health knowledge. Oral health attitudes varied statistically significantly depending on gender, age, marital status, education, position, service duration, childcare teacher`s qualification status, and teacher`s qualification status. Those who were female, who were aged ≥50 years, who were graduate school graduates or at higher education levels, who were directors, who had been employed for ≥5 years, and who had a teacher`s license had better oral health attitudes. Behaviors varied statistically significantly by gender, marital status, education, position, service duration, childcare teacher`s qualification status, teacher`s qualification status, and counseling education service status. The respondents who were female, who were married, who were graduate school graduates or at higher education levels, who were directors, who had been employed for ≥5 years, who had childcare teacher`s license or teacher`s license, or those who were in charge of counseling education service made better behaviors. On the basis of these results, it is first of all necessary to make a plan for changing oral health belief with the objective of promoting oral health continuously and systematically, taking into account the factors affecting oral health belief, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of teachers at community children centers. It is also necessary to develop effective oral health education media as well as practical education programs regarding children`s oral care so that their good oral care habit can be brought into their lifestyle in adulthood.

본 연구는 대학생들의 구강건강상태가 수면의 질에 미치는 영향을 연구하여 구강건강상태의 중요성 및 삶의 질 향상을 위한 기초자료를 수집하고자 한다. 연구 대상자는 경상북도 농어촌지역에 소재한 일부 4년제 사립대학교를 편의표본 추출하여 재학생을 대상으로 대학생들의 구강건강 상태를 비교하고, 주관적 구강건강상태가 수면의 질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 일반적 특성, 구강보건행태, 수면의 질에 대한 항목으로 설문지를 작성하여 자기기입식 설문을 하였고, 총 596부의 설문지를 분석하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, 교차분석, 독립표본 t-test, 일원분산분석(One-way ANOVA)과 Duncan test의 사후검증을 실시하였고, 구강건강상태가 수면의 질에 미치는 영향은 다중회귀분석을 실시한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 구취자각은 여성, 3학년, 인문사회계열의 전공 대상자, 구강건강이 좋고 구강질환이 없을수록 구취상태가 낮게 나타났다. 구강건조 증상은 여성, 3학년, 보건계열 전공 대상자에서 구강건조 증상이 낮게 나타났다. 턱관절 증상 인지는 학년이 낮을수록, 보건계열에서 전신건강 및 구강건강이 좋고 구강질환이 없을수록 턱관절 증상 인지가 낮게 나타났다. 수면의 질은 4학년이 가장 낮게 나타났고, 전신건강과 구강건강이 좋을수록, 턱관절 증상 인지가 심하지 않을수록 수면의 질이 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과 전신건강의 일부분인 구강건강상태가 수면의 질에 일부 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생들의 수면의 질이 향상되기 위해서는 구강보건의 예방이 가장 중요하며, 구강건강 적신호의 증상이 발견되었을 때의 초기검진의 중요성 등의 구강보건교육을 수행하는 것이 필요한 것으로 보인다. 성인기로 접어드는 대학생 시기의 구강건강의 중요성과 향후 구강증상에 따른 구강보건교육 프로그램 및 구강보건정책에 필요한 기초자료를 수집하는데 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of subjective oral health status on the quality of sleep of university students and to suggest the importance of oral health status and improve the quality of life. The data samples for this study were drawn from private universities in the North Gyeongsang Province and college students in farming and fishing village areas. Students were asked to participate in order to compare the oral health of university students and investigate the impact of subjective oral health status on the quality of their sleep. A questionnaire was drawn up with items concerning general characteristics, oral health behavior and the quality of sleep in self-administered surveys. In total 596 questionnaires were analyzed. The collected data were processed by using the SPSS 20.0 program. Sescriptive statistics, cross-tabulation analysis, independent-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan test, and the multiple regression analysis were used to determine the effects of subjective oral health status on the quality of sleep. This study obtained the following results: Females, juniors, majors in humanities and social science, and those who had better oral health status and ones without oral diseases were less likely to perceive bad breath. Females, juniors, and majors in public health were less likely to experience xerostomia. Lower graders, majors in public health, those who had better general and oral health status and ones without oral diseases were less likely to perceive temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms. The quality of sleep was lowest for seniors, and those with better general and oral health status and lower level of perceived TMJ symptoms showed higher quality of sleep. In short, oral health status, which is part of general health status, had a partial impact on the quality of sleep. For the improvement of university students` sleep quality, preventive measures for oral health is essential. Also, it is necessary to carry out oral health education and emphasize the importance of early detection of warning signs of oral health symptom. The results of this study are expected to be useful as basic data for the development of oral health education programs and oral health polices. It will also enlighten the importance of oral health for college students in early adulthood.

일부 농어촌 지역 소방공무원의 직무스트레스와 주관적 구강건강상태와의 관련성

구인영 ( Ku In-young ) 한국도서(섬)학회 2018 韓國島嶼硏究 Vol.30 No.3

소방공무원들은 위험하고 응급을 요하는 상황으로 인해 직무스트레스에 직면하게 되고 이외에도 직장생활에서 경험하게 되는 대인관계 갈등, 조직체계, 보상부적절, 직무요구도, 직장 문화에 의해 많은 직무스트레스를 받게 된다. 이러한 직무스트레스는 신체건강의 중요한 결정 요인으로써 구강건강에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 과거와 달리 오늘날의 구강건강은 건강한 삶을 위한 중요한 요소로 자리 잡고 있다. 이 연구는 일부 농어촌 지역의 소방서 종사자들의 직무스트레스가 주관적 구강건강상태와 어떠한 관련성이 있는가를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 가설을 검증하기 위하여 사용한 변수들은 소방서 종사자들의 일반적 특성과 직무스트레스, 구취, 구강 악습관, 턱관절 질환, 구강 건조감의 주관적 구강건강상태이다. 연구모형은 일반적 특성과 직무스트레스, 직무스트레스와 주관적 구강건강상태의 관련성을 밝힐 수 있도록 설정하였고, 일부 농어촌 지역의 119안전센터에 현재 근무하고 있는 행정업무, 구급, 구조, 화재진압 등을 포함한 623명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 수집된 설문지를 가지고 조사문항의 빈도분석, 신뢰도 분석, t-검정, ANOVA, Scheffe의 사후 검정, 로지스틱 회귀분석 등을 실시하여 가설들을 검증하였다. 일반적 특성에 따른 직무스트레스는 연령, 최종학력, 배우자 유무, 직급변환에서 유의하였다. 연령, 학력이 높고 배우자가 있고 직급이 소방교 이상에서 직무스트레스가 높았다. 직무스트레스와 주관적 구강건강상태의 관련성은 구취가 있을수록 직무스트레스에서 3.450배 높은 값을 나타났고 구강 악습관이 있을수록 직무스트레스에서 3.623배 높은 값을 나타났고 턱관절 질환이 있을수록 직무스트레스에서 3.856배 높은 값을 나타났고 구강 건조감이 있을수록 직무스트레스에서 3.711배 높은 값을 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 소방서 종사자들의 직무스트레스가 주관적 구강건강상태에 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 소방관들의 건강은 시민들의 안전과 직결될 수 있는 만큼 소방공무원의 직무 수행과 관련된 직무스트레스 요인을 파악하고, 직무스트레스와 주관적인 구강건강상태와 관련성의 파악은 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 소방공무원의 직무스트레스와 주관적 구강건강상태와 관련성 연구를 통하여 소방공무원의 건강관리 개발프로그램의 개선에 기여하고자 본 연구가 시행되었다. 소방공무원들이 겪게 되는 문제들을 개인적인 특성으로 이해하기 보다는 근무환경과 근무조건을 개선하고 적절한 단계에서 효율적인 개선방안으로 체계적인 직무 스트레스 관리와 구강건강증진프로그램을 보다 효과적으로 개발하는 데에 필요한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다. Firefighters are faced with job stress due to dangerous and urgent situations. In addition to this, they are subjected to a lot of job stress due to interpersonal conflict, the organizational system, compensation incompetence, job demands, and the general work culture. These occupational stresses have a great influence on oral health as an important determinant of physical health. Unlike in the past, today's oral health is an important factor for a healthy life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between job stress and subjective oral symptoms in fire department workers in "Selected Rural Areas". The variables used to verify the hypothesis are the general characteristics of the fire department workers, and subjective oral health, such as oral, jaw joint disease, mouth dryness, and oral health. The research model was designed to reveal the relationship between general characteristics and job stress, job stress and subjective oral health status, and 623 people in Selected Rural Areas including those in administrative work, the emergency services - rescue and fire suppression- currently working at fire stations and 119 safety centers were analyzed. Hypotheses were tested by using collected questionnaires, frequency analys is of the survey items, reliability analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe'spost test, and logistic regression analysis. Job stress according to general characteristics was significant in age, final education, marital status, and job conversion. Age, educational background, spouse, and job position were higher than those of fire brigade. The relationship between job stress and subjective oral health status was found to be 3.450 times higher in job stress than in bad breath, and 3.623 times higher in job stress than in oral bad habits, and 3.856 times in job stress. The higher the value of mouth dryness was, the higher the job stress was by a factor of 3.711 times. The results of this study showed that the job stress of the fire department workers was strongly related tothe subjective oral health status. In order to improve the working environment and working conditions and to improve the systematic job stress management and oral health promotion program more effectively at the appropriate stage rather than to understand the problems faced by the firefighting officers.
