성대 결절 환자들은 잘못된 발성 패턴으로 인한 음성의 오용과 남용이 질환의 원인인 경우가 대부분이다. 관찰할 수 있는 발성 패턴은 성대 내근과 외후두근의 사용, 인두, 혀, 턱의 움직임, 호흡 방법, 억양의 변화 등 다양하다. 이러한 발성 패턴이 하나 혹은 그 이상 잘못 되어 있을 경우에는 후두에 좋지 않은 영향을 미쳐 기능성 후두 질환, 성대 결절, 성대 폴립 등의 기질적 질환과 연계될 수 있다. 성대 결절에서 일반적으로 관찰되는 발성 패턴으로는 성대 전체를 강하게 접촉하여 발성하는 경우와 반대로 성대 수직면 위쪽 즉 상순쪽만 가볍게 부딪혀서 발성하는 경우로 나타난다. 두 경우 모두에서 성대 결절이 발생하며 그 기와 위치가 조금씩 달라지게 된다. 이렇게 성대 결절이 발생했을 경우 널리 제시되고 있는 치료 방법으로 환자의 잘못된 발성 습관에 대한 상담과 함께 하품-한숨 접근법이나 노래 조로 말하기, 저작하기와 같은 성대 접촉을 줄일 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 그러나 성대 접촉이 되지 않아 발생된 성대 결절 환자의 경우는 일시적으로 결절의 크기는 줄일 수 있을 것이나 치료 결과가 유지되는 측면의 고려가 부족한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성대 결절 환자들의 발성 패턴을 관찰하고 그 상태에 따라 음성 치료를 접근하여 치료 결과 및 유지 효과를 확인하고자 한다.

성대결절은 음성 과다 사용으로 유발되는 후두의 만성적 질환 중 가장 대표적인 질환 가운데의 하나로서, 이에 대한 치료는 수술적 처치 또는 음성치료로 시행된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성대 결절의 치료법 중 음성치료에 초점을 맞추어, 음성치료를 실시한 성대 결절 환자의 음성에 대한 변화를 음향학적, 공기역학적으로 분석하여, 치료 전과 후를 비교함으로써 그 효과에 대한 객관적 자료를 제시하고자 한다. (중략)

There have been several studies reporting that vocal misuse and abuse causes voice problems, as well as laryngeal disease such as laryngitis, vocal nodules, vocal polyp. But few researches have investigated amounts or rates of vocal misuse or vocal abuse of patients. Therefore, the author of this study developed measuring device for vocal misuse and abuse behaviors and compared frequency of vocal misuse and abuse behaviors of normal children and children with vocal nodules. The subjects of this study were five normal children and five children with vocal nodules who were male, lower graders of elementary schools(first to third graders). Based on the results of this study, the frequency of the children with vocal nodules in vocal misuse and abuse using was 5,411(${\pm}145$) and that of the normal children was 3,133(${\pm}257$). The frequency of vocal misuse and abuse behaviors of the children with vocal nodules was around 1.5 time significantly higher than that of normal children(p<.001).

성대결절, 폴립, 부종 등은 성대의 남용이나 과용등의 성대손상이 그 공통된 주된 원인으로 거론되고 있다. 하지만 음성치료를 비롯한 보존적 치료에 대한 반응이 서로 상이하며, H＆E 염색을 이용한 병리조직학적인 감별이 곤란하여 진단에 혼돈이 있으며, 치료의 방침을 결정하거나 예후를 예측함에 있어서도 어려움이 있다. 양성성대질환은 기저막부 위와 세포외 간질에 주된 변화가 발생함이 알려져 있고, collagen type IV의 발현양상이 성대결절과 폴립에서 서로 다름에 대하여는 보고된 바 있으나 기타 점막하층의 골격유지를 주기능으로 하는 대표적 세포외간질인 collagen subtype에 대하여는 아직 보고된 바가 없는 실정이다. Collagen 발현의 차이를 연구하는 것은 상기질환의 병인을 이해하고 질환분류의 guideline을 제시하며 나아가 적절한 치료방범을 제시하는 데에 큰 의미가 있을 것으로 기대된다. Paraffin에 고정되어 있는 5례 이상씩의 성대결절과 성대폴립, 육아 종 및 라인케씨 부종 조직을 collagen type I부터 VII에 대하여 peroxidase kit를 사용하여 염색한 후 각 군간에 collagen 분포양상과 발현정도에 차이가 있는가 비교하였다.

Vocal strain occur chiefly in those whose occupations professional singers, teachers, actors, and so on. Continuous vocal strain may perpetuate and aggravate the condition and lead to formation of established vocal nodules. The nodes are at first red and soft. These fresh nodes are well responded by chewing method without surgery. Recently the author experienced three cases of singers nodule (one male professional classic singer, one female pop singer, one male teacher) treated by chewing method. The purpose of this paper is to discuss principles and methods of chewing with literature review.

The clinical study of 183 cases of laryngeal mass was observed and 88 cases of vocal nodule and polyp which is confirmed histopathologically, were clinically classified into 30 cases of vocal nodule, 48 cases of localized vocal polyp, 10 cases of diffuse vocal polyp, and the following results of microscopic examination were obtained. I. The clinical study of laryngeal mass 1. Among total cases of 183, vocal nodule is 82(45%) vocal polyp 53(29%) postintubation granuloma 3(1%) laryngeal papilloma 18(10%) tuberculosis 2(1%) cancer 25(14%). 2. The sex ratio of male to female is 3:4 in vocal nodule, 1:1 in vocal polyp, 1:2 in postintubation granuloma, 3:2 in laryngeal papilloma, 11:1 in cancer. 3. The age distribution is third-fourth decade in vocal nodule, fourth-fifth decade in vocal polyp, third decade in postintubation granuloma, second and fifth decade in laryngeal tuberculosis, sixth decade in laryngeal cancer. 4. The distribution of symptoms is 5 month. -1 year in vocal nodule and polyp, less than 1 year in laryngeal papilloma and postintubation granuloma, 1 year-3 year in laryngeal tuberculosis and cancer. 5. The location of the lesion is between the anterior 1/3 and middle 1/3 in vocal nodule and polyp and papilloma, middle 1/3 and posterior 1/3 in postintubation granuloma, and is diffusely spread on the entire vocal cord in laryngeal tuberculosis and cancer. 6. The side of the lesion is bilateral in vocal nodule and papilloma and the ratio of right to left is 5:3 in vocal polyp, 2:1 in postintubation granuloma. 7. The size is 1~2mm(67%) in vocal nodule, 3~5mm(42%) in vocal polyp, 6~10mm (67%) in postintubation granuloma, 1~2mm (39%) in papilloma, more than 10mm in tuberculosis and cancer. 8. Among the symptoms, the hoarseness is in more than 90% of disease entity, the sore-throat in tuberculosis and cancer, the dyspnea in postintubation granuloma and papilloma and tuberculosis and cancer. 9. In the past history, certain relationship with smoking is noted in cancer (40%) and tuberculosis(50%) and the history of frequent attack of URI is in papilloma(33%). 10. In occupation, certain statistical significance was not noted. II. The histopathological study of vocal nodule and polyp. 1. Most polyps and nodules were covered with stratified squamous epithelium, but focal hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis and atrophy were rather frequently observed. Hyperkeratosis and acanthosis was most frequently seen.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the differences in the acoustic measurements (AVQI) and the auditory-perceptual assessments (GRBAS, CAPE-V) of the normal and vocal fold nodules. For this purpose, Total 335 voice samples were analyzed acoustically and three raters performed auditory-perceptual assessments. in the results, AVQI, G, and OS scores of the normal group were lower than those of the vocal fold nodules group. The correlations between the G scale and the OS scale were highly correlated, and the correlation between the AVQI, and auditory-perceptual results (G and OS) was also high value. The threshold values for discriminating AVQI, G, and OS between the two groups were ${\leq}4.06$, ${\leq}1$, and ${\leq}26$, respectively, and the predictive diagnostic power was 0.840, 0.860, and 0.848. In conclusion, AVQI and auditory-perceptual evaluation can improve potentiality the screening of vocal fold nodules and help to determine the diagnosis and treatment plan of voice disorders.

The vocal nodule is one of the major causes of hoarseness. The patholphysiologic mechanism of the vocal nodule is relatively well-known. Chronic mechanical stimuli, such as vocal abuse, causes vocal nodule by a tissue reaction of the vocal cords. Among the 841 patients, who visited the Vocal Dynamic Laboratory at Severance Hospital complaining of the dysphonia between the period of May 1981- May 1985, 169 patients were selected who were diagnosed as vocal nodule by indirect laryngoscopy and a series of phoniatric examination.

Vocal nodules and polyps are much more frequent in singers, public speakers, teachers and actors. Voice trauma and voice misuse, at times associated with mild inflammatory reaction, appear to be important in their etiology. It is generally agreed that vocal cord nodules and polyps are inflammatory in nature and they arise in the subepithelial layer of loose connective tissue of the vocal cord. Since the junction of anterior and middle thirds of the membranous cord and has the greatest amplitude of vibration. This is the site of predilection for vocal cord nodules. The author performed laryngomicrosurgery for 70 cases of vocal nodules and polyps at Ewha Womans University Hospital during the period of 5 years. The result obtained were as follows ; 1) Surgical excision is not necessarily the best approach because vocal nodules in the early stages will resolve with the simplest voice therapy. 2) In children, surgery is rarely indicated because most nodules in children regress during adolescence. 3) For patients who use their voices professionally, voice therapy is indicated for three months. 4) If after three month of conservative treatment the cord lesion does not improve and the patient it still dissatisfied with his voice, laryngomicrosurgery can then be considered. 5) The small cuffed endotracheal tube in the interarytenoid space helps to keep the cords immobile and in an abducted position. 6) Removal of the nodule shoule be started by gentle retraction posteriorly and as soon as a tear appears anterior to the nodule. 7) On occasion it is preferable to start the dissection with a siccle knife while the nodule is held on the stretch. 8) Voice rest should be maintained for a week following which the free edges of the cords are usually healed.
