관절염은 관절에 염증을 일으키는 현상을 말하며, 염증이란 병든 부위에 부종, 홍조, 발열, 동통과 같은 병리학적인 반응을 특징으로 한다. 관절염은 그 자체가 병명이 아니고 어떤 질환의 한결과로서 나타난다. 그러므로 관절염이 발생하면 그 원인 질환이 무엇인지 찾아보아야 한다. 관절염의 종류는 무려 100여 가지가 넘으며 퇴행성 관절염, 류머티스 관절염, 통풍성 관절염, 루푸스, 통풍 등이 일반적으로 흔한 종류이다.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of arthritis and comorbid chronic conditions on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the Korean older population. The study subjects were 2,708 Korean adults aged 65 and older from the $3^{rd}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys data: 1,357 persons with a single chronic condition, such as arthritis, herniations of the intervertebral disc, osteoporosis, asthma, peptic ulcers, stroke, or cataract; 886 persons with arthritis and a second chronic condition described above; and 465 persons with no chronic condition. An analysis of covariance was performed to compare the EQ-5D index among the groups. The effects of arthritis, second chronic condition and their interactions were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. The results are as follows. Compared to men with arthritis only, men with stroke only, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index. Women with a stroke only, asthma only, cataract only, osteoporosis and arthritis, peptic ulcer and arthritis, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index than women with arthritis only. Arthritis and comorbid conditions had additive effects on the HRQol in both genders except for arthritis and stroke in women. In conclusion, comorbid chronic medical conditions in older people with arthritis may reduce the HRQoL in an additive manner.

서론: 본 연구는 불필요한 소화기관용 약제의 처방이 한국에서의 처방전 당 약물 개수를 증가시키는 것과의 연관성을 검토하고자 수행되었다. 연구방법: 연구를 위한 자료로 건강보험심사평가원의 처방전 데이터와 환자의 기타 모든 의료보험 청구데이터를 이용하였고, 두 데이터셋을 연결하여 처방전들을 소화기관용 약제의 필요성에 따라 소화기관질환 그룹, 관절염질환 그룹,소화기관용 약제 처방이 불필요할 것으로 그 외 질환 그룹으로 구분, 분리하였다. 결과: 처방전 당 약물의 평균 개수의 분포는 세 그룹에서 비슷한 양상을 보였는데, 관절염질환 그룹과 그 외 질환 그룹의 거의 절반 이상은 한 개의 소화기관용 약제를 포함하였다. 세 그룹 모두 처방전 당 약물 개수와 처방전 당소화기관용 약제의 개수가 1차 선형관계를 보였다. 그 외 질환 그룹에서는 처방전 당 전체 약물이 평균 6개를 넘는 경우, 적어도 한 개의 소화기관용 약제가 포함되었다. 본 연구는 불필요한 소화기관용 약제를 처방하는 것은 다제처방의 매우 유의한 예측인자임을 보였다. 결론: 향후, 약제 처방전의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 각각의 약물을, 특히 소화기관용 약제를, 처방 시 약제의 불가피한 필요성에 대해 판단할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

Purpose : Acute septic arthritis and acute osteomyelitis are not rare diseases in pediatric population. But when the diagnosis is delayed or inappropriate treatments are given, permanent disabilities of joint or bone can be followed. We analysed clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, X-ray findings, causative microorganisms and antibiotic susceptibility results of the two diseases in children. Methods : During January 1992 and May 2002, we conducted a retrospective study of 103 children who were diagnosed as acute septic arthritis and acute osteomyelitis. We selected out 34 children who had positive culture results in the blood or involved sites. Results : 19 cases were diagnosed as acute septic arthritis and 15 cases were acute osteomyelitis. These diseases were most common in preschool children and next in neonates. Hip joints and tibia were the most common sites in each disease. X-ray findings showed abnormalities in 6 cases(36%) of acute septic arthritis and 7 cases(50%) of acute osteomyelitis on admission. The most common microorganism isolated from the involved sites was Staphylococcus aureus; 12 out of 14 cases in acute septic arthritis and 6 out of 13 cases in acute osteomyelitis. Conclusion : It is difficult to make a clear initial diagnosis of the two diseases. We could not find any differences between these two diseases on clinical manifestations such as fever, swelling, tenderness and limitation of movements in joint and bone. The most common microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus.

This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between the practice of aerobic exercise and the prevalence and risk of arthritis with comorbid chronic diseases. For this study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2019 data were used and 17,356 people were selected as subjects. The relationship between the practice of aerobic exercise and the prevalence and risk of arthritis according to demographic characteristics and chronic diseases was analyzed by the chi-square independence test and Breslow-Day test. While the rate of aerobic exercise was low among women, the elderly, the low-income group, the low-education group, and people living in rural areas, the prevalence and risk of arthritis were relatively high. And in the chronic disease-positive group, those who practiced aerobic exercise had a relatively lower prevalence and risk of arthritis than those who did not. In particular, the practice of aerobic exercise was an effective complement in reducing the prevalence and risk of arthritis in people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Therefore, the practice of aerobic exercise such as walking, slow running, and aerobic dance should be recommended in terms of the preventive medicine and health care to people who are in the group with a high prevalence of arthritis in demographic characteristics and people who have comorbid chronic diseases.

Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is characterized by diverse symptoms including rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and dermatomyositis, associated with high titers of antibodies to extractable nuclear antigen (ENA), especially anti-ribonucleoprotein (anti-RNP) antibody. Since the first report of 25 cases with MCTD in adults, there have been only a few cases of MCTD reported in children. Here, we report a rare childhood case of MCTD in a 7-year-old girl presenting initially with Raynaud's phenomenon, swollen hands, and ulceration of the right index finger tip followed by alopecia and arthritis during follow-up.

Fungal arthritis is a rare joint infection that occurs in immunosuppressant patient, intravenous drug abuser and long term antibiotics user, and is especially rare in a healthy adult. Two case reports of fungal arthritis have been demonstrated in the country, but those in healthy adults have not been reported yet. Here, we experienced an antifungal treatment following successful arthroscopic debridement of fungal arthritis with a popliteal cyst in a healthy adult who got repetitive intraarticular steroid injections and report the case with review of relevant literatures. Surgeons should consider the possibility of fungal arthritis although it is rare and demonstrates nonspecific clinical features.

오랫동안 잘못된 자세로 척추에 부담을 주게 되면, 척추 관절염과 같은 퇴행성 변화를 촉진시켜, 결국 척추관협착증과 같은 노인성 질환을 불러오므로 평소에 의식적으로라도 바른 자세를 취하려는 노력이 필요하다.
