To diagnose acute myocardial infarction(MI), many cardiac markers have been used in hematologic and biochemical analysis, and many studies have been published for hema-tologic and biochemical analysis associated with human acute MI. However, after occurrence of acute MI, the serial investigation for values in hematologic and bioche-mical analysis including chronic MI has rarely been performed. To observe the change of the serial values in hematologic and biochemical analysis, we induced artificial MI. The left main descending artery(LMDA) of the left coronary artery was ligated during the progression(day 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30) of MI. Total 66 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the sham group(n=24, thoracotomy without LMDA ligation) and the experimental(MI) group(n=42, with LMDA ligation). And all individual in each group was sacrified at day 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 30 for the hematologic and biochemical analysis. In comparison of hematologic analysis between the sham and MI groups, the mean values of red blood cell(RBCs), hemoglobin and hematocrit(HCT) showed a steady increase. In biochemical analysis, the mean values of glucose, choles-terol, total creatine kinase(CK) and isoenzyme MB, and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) were increased in all MI groups compared with the sham groups. The results of this study suggest that early hematologic and biochemical mean values occurred after acute MI are similar to those of human acute MI. In conclusion, we could observe the alterations and serial values in hematologic and biochemical analysis to the extent of chronic status after acute MI.

N/A Background: Magnetocardiogram (MCG), which records the changes of magnetic fields generated by the heart`s electrical activity, theoritically can provide unique data for clinical application. To date, MCG has been investigated only at a single time point after myocardial infarction (MI) with severe left ventricular dysfunction in rats. The purpose of the present study was to investigate sequential changes of MCG after MI and to evaluate effects of infarct size on MCG. Methods: Acute MI were induced by the permanent ligation of left coronary artery in 22 rats. Magnetic fields were recorded just above a rat with Nb Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) gradiometer inside a magnetically shielded room. MCG was measured before and immediately after surgery and it was subsequently recorded at the time points of 1, 4 and 6 hours post operatively. MCG was also measured at 1, 3, 7 and 21 days after surgery. Results: Elevation of ST segment and appearance of pathological Q wave on the MCG were evident immediately after the ligation of coronary artery and persisted to 6 hours after MI. On MCG, ST segment was depressed and T wave was inverted from 1 day after MI. In rats with small-and moderate- sized MI (infarct size〈30%), ST depression returned to near the isoelectric level and Q wave disappeared from 7 days after MI. However, ST depression and Q wave were still present in rats with larger infarct (infarct size≥30%). Conclusion: Evolutional changes of MCG were well-recognized up to 21 days after MI. Furthermore, the infarct size can be expressed by the extent of Q wave and ST segment depression on MCG. Taken together, these data indicate that MCG is a helpful modality for the diagnosis, evaluation of infarct size and follow up after MI.(Korean J Med 62:42-48, 2002)

Purpose: To evaluate the stability and optical performance of the newly developed single-piece aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) by comparing the clinical outcome of the aspheric IOL with the new optic profile design (HOYA iSert, HOYA iMics) and the aspheric IOL (Akreos MI60), which has been proven effective and safe. Methods: iSert, iMics, and MI60 were inserted into 55 eyes, 60 eyes, and 50 eyes, respectively, after microincision phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction in spherical equivalent, anterior chamber depth (ACD), total higher order aberration (HOA), contrast sensitivity, and surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) were measured and each IOL was evaluated on the functional stability, anterior-posterior stability, centration in the capsular bag, and quality of vision. Results: No statistical differences in preoperative and postoperative BCVA among the 3 IOL groups were observed, however, MI60 showed significant myopic shift postoperatively. Anterior-posterior stability assessed with postoperative change in refractive error and ACD was slightly lower in the MI60 group. In terms of vision quality, while total aberration, total HOA, coma aberration, and contrast sensitivity for the 3 IOLs were not different significantly, spherical aberration of the MI60 group was higher than the other groups at 6 months postoperative. SIA was significantly increased in eyes implanted with iSert than in eyes with iMics or MI60 at 1 month postoperatively, however, the differences were no longer evident after 3 months postoperatively. Conclusions: The new aspheric IOLs, iSert and iMics, showed good stability and visual outcome equal to MI60 at the 6-month postoperative follow-up.

Purpose: Conventional risk factors are differently contributed to short-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI); hypertension and diabetes increase adverse outcome, whereas hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity paradoxically decrease adverse outcome of post-MI patients. The aim of this study is to assess whether cluster of conventional risk factors, PARADOCS (Pressure of ARtery Abnormality, Diabetes, Obesity, Cholesterol, Smoking) score, would improve the ability to predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with AMI. Methods: Between November 2005 and July 2011, 24,020 patients (17,232 men; mean age=63.0±12.8) with AMI were analyzed from Korean AMI registry. PARADOCS score was calculated as follows; [number of non-paradoxical risk factors (NRF) -number of paradoxical risk factors (PRF)]+3 in which non-paradoxical risk factors are hypertension and diabetes, and paradoxical risk factors are the rest. The 1-year MACEs were defined as death and non-fatal MI. Results: NRF including hypertension and diabetes were present in 49.6% and 27.0%, whereas PRF including hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity were present in 12.3%, 43.0%, and 34.6%, respectively. During the follow-up, 1,409 (5.9%) MACEs occurred. PARADOCS score was significantly higher in patients with 1-year MACEs (3.38±1.03 versus 2.81±1.08, p<0.001). In Cox proportional hazards model, PARADOCS score was an independent predictor of 1-year MACEs (hazards ratio 1.26, 95% confidence interval 1.18-1.34; p<0.001) after adjusting for confounding variables. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to the PARADOCS score; PARADOCSLOW (0-1, n=2,446), PARADOCSMID (2-3, n=14,594), and PARADOCSHIGH (4-5, n= 6,980). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that there were significant differences in the 1-year MACEs among three groups including 3.5% in PARADOCSLOW, 8.5% in PARADOCSMID, and 16.4% in PARADOCSHIGH, respectively (long-rank p<0.001). Conclusions: In post-MI patients, conventional risk factors are differently associated with short-term prognosis, and score of these risk factors, PARADOCS score, can provide useful prognostic information to clinicians.

국문초록본 연구는 중년기 우울증 여성의 생활사건 스트레스, 대처 방식, 사회적 지지, 가족 관계 등의 정신사회적 요인들을 알아보기 위한 것으로 각 변인들이 어떻게 우울과 관계가 있는지를 우울증 환자 집단과 정상인 집단으로 나누어서 비교 연구하였다. 이를 위해 35세 이상 64세 이하의 116명의 우울증 환자와 113명의 정상인을 대상으로 Beck 우울 질문지(BDI), 생활사건 질문지, 대처방식 척도, 대인관계 지지 평가척도(ISEL), 가정환경척도 등의 검사를 하였고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 최고 스트레스는 환자 집단의 경우 결혼생활 스트레스(42명, 36.2%), 정상인 집단의 경우는 가정생활 스트레스(44명, 38.9%)였다. 2) 소극적 대처(t=0.93, p=.35)만을 제외하고 환자 집단과 정상인 집단에서 BDI 우울 점수(t=15.94, p<.0001), 생활사건 스트레스 점수(t=4.73, p<.0001), 적극적 대처점수(t=6.29, p<.0001), 사회적 지지점수(t=7.20, p<.0001), 가족 관계 점수(t=5.75, p<.0001)에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3) 우울증 환자 집단에서 BDI 우울 점수는 생활사건 스트레스(r=.24, p<.01) 변인과 유의한 정적 상관을 보였고, 적극적 대처(r= -.22, p<.01) 변인, 사회적 지지(r= -.35, p<.001) 변인, 가족관계(r= -.30, p<.001) 변인과는 유의한 역 상관을 보였다. 4) 우울증 환자 집단에서 BDI 우울에 대한 각 변인들의 중다회귀분석은 사회적 지지(12.3%, β= -.281, T= -3.162, P=.002, 생활사건 스트레스(5.1%, β=.279, T=3.195, P=.002), 적극적 대처(3.5%, β= -.204, T= -2.225, P=.028) 변인이 합하여 20.9%의 설명력을 나타냈다. 5) 중년기 여성에서 생활사건 스트레스는 가족 관계에서 겪는 스트레스가 가장 큰 스트레스였고, 대처방식은 우울과의 관계에서 일관성이 부족하였으며, 사회적 지지는 우울에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 요인이었고, 가족관계는 양 집단에서 유의한 차이는 있었으나 우울에 대하여 의미있게 설명하지 못하고 있다. ABSTRACTLife Events, Coping Styles, Social Support, and Family Relationships of Middle-Aged Depressed Women Jin-Wook Lee, M.D., Yim Kim, M.D., Sun-Mi Yi, M.S., Dong-In Kim, M.D., Heon-Jeong Eun, M.D. Department of Neuropsychiatry, Presbyterian Medical Center, Chonju The objective of this study was to explore the psychosocial factors such as life events, coping styles and family relationships in middle-aged depressed women. This study was designed to compare how different variables relate to depression in two different test groups : a depressed patient group and a normal group. The Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), The Ways of Coping Checklist, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List(ISEL), Family Environment Scale were administered to 116 depressed patients and 113 normal persons between the ages of 35 and 64. The results were as follows : 1) The highest stress was marital stress(n=42, 36.2%) in patient group and family stress(n=44, 38.9%) in normal group, respectively. 2) There were significant differences between patient group and normal group in BDI scores(t=15.94, p<.0001), life events(t=4.73, p<.0001), active copinig(t=6.29, p<.0001), social support(t=7.20, p<.0001), and family relationships(t=5.75, p<.0001) except for passive coping(t=0.93, p=.35). 3) In depressed patient group, BDI scores had a significantly positive correlation with the scores of the life events(r=.24, p<.01) and negative correlation with active coping(r= -.22, p<.01), social support(r= -.35, p<.001) and family relationships(r= -.30, p<.001). 4) In depressed patient group, multiple regression analysis showed that social support(12.3%, β= -.281, T= -3.162, P=.002), life events(5.1%, β=.279. T=3.195, P=.002), and active coping(3.5%, β= -.204, T= -2.225, P=.028) had predictability on the BDI scores and the total predictability was 20.9%. 5) Stress experienced in family relationships were highest in life events and there was a lack of consistency(in the BDI scores of the coping styles). Social support was the most important factor and there were no significant differences between the two groups in family relationships.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate interaction and safety in administering herb-medicine with warfarin. Methods :For this study, we selected 19 patients who have been taking warfarin, from the ones that have been transferred from western hospital to oriental hospital. During their stay in the oriental hospital, we gave herb-medicine in addition to warfarin. Then we gathered informations and data on sex, age, main indications, and International Normalized Ratio(INR) values of selected patients through Electronic Medical Records(EMR) of Dong-Guk university hospital. Accordingly, we compiled all of the above data for a period of 10 days prior and 10 days post admission(western hospital period and oriental hospital period, respectively)Results and Conclusions :The statistical analysis of the data have revealed that there was no significant change of INR values after giving herb-medicine with warfarin(p=0.586). The result shows that administration of herb-medicine with warfarin is safe and has little drug interaction. However, this study was carried out on small sample size and the interaction with other drugs and various kinds of herb-medicine was not considered. Although we attained a restrictive result from this study, we are able to suggest the safety about co-administration of herb-medicine and warfarin.
