Background: The six-minute walk test has been widely used in people with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders as an outcome assessment with regards to therapeutic or prognostic determinants. This study was undertaken to determine the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in a sample of healthy Koreans and to create a reference equation. We also compared the 6MWD of our cohort with previously published equations. Methods: Two hundred fifty-nine healthy subjects (95 males) aged 22-59 years performed two walking tests using a standardized protocol. 6MWD was defined as the greatest distance achieved from the two tests. The effect of anthropometrics on the 6MWD was also investigated. Results: The average 6MWD was $598.5{\pm}57.92m$, with significantly longer distances by males ($628.9{\pm}59.51m$) than females ($580.9{\pm}47.80m$) (p<0.001). Age, height, weight, and body mass index were significantly correlated with 6MWD in univariate analysis. Stepwise multiple regression showed height to be single independent predictor of 6MWD ($r^2$=0.205, p<0.001). The reference equations derived in Caucasian and North African populations tend to overestimate the distance walked by Korean subjects, while Asian equations underestimate it. Conclusion: The average 6MWD in these Korean populations was 600 m. The regression equation revealed that individual's height was the most significant predictor of distance, explaining 20.5% of the distance variance.

양방향 상행대정맥-폐동맥 단락술 후 폰탄 수술의 위험이 큰 2명의 환자에서 청색증의 증가와 운동 능력의 감소를 보여 액와동정맥루 형성술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 두 환자 모두 수술 후 1일째 일반 병실로 전원되었으며, 수술 후 각각 4일, 3일에 퇴원하였다. 두 증례 모두 수술 후 volume loading의 소견은 없었고, 8개월째 추적 관찰 중이며 청색증의 감소와 운동 능력의 향상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 수술 후 6개월째 시행한 폐관류스캔이나 contrast심초음파 검사에서 폐동정맥루가 아직 충분히 경감되지 않아, 향후 이에 대한 면밀한 추적 관찰이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

With the recent rapid increase in obesity worldwide, metabolic syndrome (MetS) has gained significant importance. MetS is a cluster of obesity-related cardiovascular risk factors including abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and impaired glucose tolerance. MetS is highly prevalent and strongly associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease, putting a great burden on human society. Therefore, it is very important to reduce MetS risk, which can improve patients' cardiovascular prognosis. The primary and most effective strategy to control each component of MetS is lifestyle change such as losing body weight, keeping regular exercise, adopting a healthy diet, quitting smoking and alcohol drinking in moderation. Many studies have shown that lifestyle modification has improved all components of MetS, and reduces the incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Here, the Korean Society of CardioMetabolic Syndrome has summarized specific and practical methods of lifestyle modification in the management of MetS in the healthcare field.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess changes in blood glucose level, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in elderly women aged over 65 years with hypertension and either normal glycemic control, impaired fasting glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus. We also wished to investigate the relationship between stages of diabetes and physical fitness. [Methods] A total of 24 elderly women with hypertension were assigned to a control group (CON; n=7), impaired fasting glucose group (IFG; n=9), and diabetes mellitus group (DM; n=8). In each group, blood glucose level, brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV), and blood pressure were measured at baseline as well as 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. Physical fitness factors such as hand grip strength, balance test, 4 m gait speed test, chair stand test, short physical performance battery, and 6-minute walking test were subsequently assessed. [Results] In all three groups, blood glucose levels were significantly increased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. In the DM group, blood glucose levels were significantly higher before and after a 75 g OGTT than in the CON group. In the CON group, PWV was significantly increased at 60 minutes after a 75 g OGTT; however, there were no changes in other groups after glucose ingestion. In the CON group, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly decreased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT compared to baseline. However, there was no change in blood pressure after ingestion in the DM group. The IFG group had greater grip strength than the CON group; however, there were no differences in other variables between the groups. [Conclusion] After a 75 g OGTT, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes maintain higher blood glucose levels compared to those with hypertension alone. Unlike elderly women with hypertension alone, those with hypertension and diabetes did not show changes in arterial stiffness and blood pressure after a 75 g OGTT. Therefore, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes may not be able to control their blood vessels following a 75 g OGTT due to impaired vascular endothelial function. Moreover, there was no association between diabetes stage and physical fitness in elderly women with hypertension.

연구배경 : 폐암환자는 폐암자체 뿐만 아니라 만성기도질환을 비롯한 기존의 폐질환 및 심질환 등으로 폐기능이 감소한 경우가 많으며, 전신항암치료는 약제에 의한 부작용으로 환자들의 신체활동능력이 급격히 감소되는 것이 일반적이다. 운동은 안정상태에서는 알 수 없는심 폐기능 이상을 확인할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로 심혈관계 및 폐기능 이상은 이들 환자의 삶의 질을 결정하는 중요한 원인으로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 전신항암치료 중인 국소진행성 폐암환자의 심 폐기능 변화를 안정시, 그리고 운동시 각각 측정하여 전신항암치료가 환자의 운동 능력에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이 목적이다. 방 법 : 조직화적으로 임상적 병기 IIIA의 비소세포암으로 진단되고 전신항암치료를 받고 있는 11명을 대상으로 치료 전, 그리고 매 주기 전신항암치료 직전 안정시 폐기능검사, Karnofsky performance scale, 체성분검사, 그리고 운동부하 심 폐기능검사를 실시하였다. 결 과 : 안정시 폐기능은 전신항암치료 전 후 유의한 변화는 없었으나 폐확산능의 경우 통계적인 의미는 없었지만 치료 전 기대값의 $89.7{\pm}34.1%$에서 치료 후 기대값의 $71.9{\pm}20.5%$로 상당히 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 호흡근의 기능을 평가하는 최대흡기압 및 최대호 기압 역시 전신항암치료 전 후 차이가 없었다. 전신 항암치료전 후 체성분 및 신체활동능력의 변화는 없었다. 3주기 전신항암화학치료 후 운동부하 심 폐 기능은 최대산소섭취량은 치료 전 기대값의 64.8%(17.9ml/kg/$m^2$)에서 치료 후 44.7% (12.6ml/kg/$m^2$)로 감소하였고 (p<0.05), 산소맥은 치료 전 기대값의 63.5% ($7.0{\pm}1.7ml$/beat)에서 치료 후 46.3% ($5.2{\pm}2.1ml$/beat)로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 결 론 : 전신항암치료 후 짧은 기간 내 체성분 변화와 안정시 폐기능의 저하는 없지만 최대산소섭취량 및 산소맥은 감소하여 운동에 대한 심기능 및 폐기능의 허용한계는 감소한다. 그러나 이러한 결론은 전신항암치료 후 짧은 기간 내의 변화로 장기적인 전향적인 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.

Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein or pulmonary capillaries. Depending on the cause, pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with markedly decreased exercise tolerance and right-sided heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension can present as one of five different types: arterial, venous, hypoxic, thromboembolic, or miscellaneous. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with severe pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease. A 52-year-old man presented with a complaint of aggravating dyspnea. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 61.5 mmHg by Doppler echocardiogram. The patient was prescribed diuretics, digoxin, bronchodilator, sildenafil, bosentan and an oxygen supply. However, he ultimately died of cor pulmonale. Thus, diagnosis and early combination therapy are important.

An analysis of the uncertainty quantification related to LBLOCA using the Monte-Carlo calculation has been performed and compared with the tolerance level determined by the Wilks' formula. The uncertainty range and distribution of each input parameter associated with the LOCA phenomena were determined based on previous PIRT results and documentation during the BEMUSE project. Calulations were conducted on 3,500 cases within a 2-week CPU time on a 14-PC cluster system. The Monte-Carlo exercise shows that the 95% upper limit PCT value can be obtained well, with a 95% confidence level using the Wilks' formula, although we have to endure a 5% risk of PCT under-prediction. The results also show that the statistical fluctuation of the limit value using Wilks' first-order is as large as the uncertainty value itself. It is therefore desirable to increase the order of the Wilks' formula to be higher than the second-order to estimate the reliable safety margin of the design features. It is also shown that, with its ever increasing computational capability, the Monte-Carlo method is accessible for a nuclear power plant safety analysis within a realistic time frame.

[Purpose] Blood glucose and insulin resistance were lower following hypoxic exposure in previous studies. However, the effect of hypoxia as therapy in obese model has not been unknown. [Methods] Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into chow diet (n=10) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups (n=20). The chow diet group received a non-purified commercial diet (65 % carbohydrate, 21 % protein, and 14 % fat) and water ad libitum. The HFD group was fed an HFD (Research Diet, #D12492; 60% kcal from fat, 5.24 kcal/g). Both groups consumed their respective diet for 7 weeks. Subsequently, HFD-induced mice (12-weeks-old) were randomly divided into two treatment groups : HFD-Normoxia (HFD; n=10) and HFD-Hypoxia (HYP; n=10, fraction of inspired=14.6%). After treatment for 4 weeks, serum glucose, insulin and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed. [Results] Homeostatic model assessment values for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of the HYP group tended to be lower than the HFD group. Regarding the OGTT, the area under the curve was 13% lower for the HYP group than the HFD group. [Conclusion] Insulin resistance tended to be lower and glucose uptake capacity was significantly augmented under hypoxia. From a clinical perspective, exposure to hypoxia may be a practical method of treating obesity.
