Purpose of Research : This study aims to analyze a film that portrays the problem of community loss, a characteristic phenomenon of contemporary society, and to explore the role of the church in its restoration. Research Contents and Methods : Both Korea and the world are currently facing a crisis of subject alienation and community loss. While welfare systems are policies designed to overcome these situations, they reveal various limitations. This paper explores the concrete realities caused by such problems through the analysis of the movie "I, Daniel Blake." The film illustrates the potential for community recovery through mutual aid and solidarity, while also highlighting the limitations of such attempts. Consequently, it raises the necessity of reflecting on and practicing the community spirit of the early church to ultimately overcome the limitations of welfare systems. Results and Conclusions : In modern society, where subject alienation and community loss are accelerating, it is essential for the church to reaffirm and practice the community spirit of the early church to address these issues effectively.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a complication beyond the first-year post-heart transplantation (HTx). We aimed to test the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to detect functional/structural changes in HTx recipients with CAV. METHODS: Seventy-seven prospectively recruited HTx recipients beyond the first-year post-HTx and 18 healthy controls underwent CMR, including cine imaging of ventricular function and T1- and T2-mapping to assess myocardial tissue changes. Data analysis included quantification of global cardiac function and regional T2, T1 and extracellular volume based on the 16-segment model. International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation criteria was used to adjudicate CAV grade (0-3) based on coronary angiography. RESULTS: The majority of HTx recipients (73%) presented with CAV (1: n = 42, 2/3: n = 14, 0: n = 21). Global and segmental T2 (49.5 ± 3.4 ms vs 50.6 ± 3.4 ms, p < 0.001;16/16 segments) were significantly elevated in CAV-0 compared to controls. When comparing CAV-2/3 to CAV-1, global and segmental T2 were significantly increased (53.6 ± 3.2 ms vs. 50.6 ± 2.9 ms, p < 0.001; 16/16 segments) and left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly decreased (54 ± 9% vs. 59 ± 9%, p < 0.05). No global, structural, or functional differences were seen between CAV-0 and CAV-1. CONCLUSIONS: Transplanted hearts display functional and structural alteration compared to native hearts, even in those without evidence of macrovasculopathy (CAV-0). In addition, CMR tissue parameters were sensitive to changes in CAV-1 vs. 2/3 (mild vs. moderate/severe). Further studies are warranted to evaluate the diagnostic value of CMR for the detection and classification of CAV.
