Purpose : This study aimed to compare lung capacity measures (forced vital capacity; FVC, forced expiratory volume at 1 second; FEV1, and FEV1/FVC) and the activities of rectus femoris (RF) and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscles between young adults prescribed aerobic exercise combined with lower limb strength exercise (complex exercise) and those prescribed only aerobic exercise. Methods : We randomly divided 22 young adults into 2 groups: the complex exercise group that combined the leg strengthening and aerobic exercises (n = 11) and the aerobic-exercise-only group (n=11). Before the intervention, the FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC values and the activities of RF and GCM muscles were measured. Measurements were in triplicates, and the average of the 3 measurements was used. The complex exercise group performed the treadmill exercise followed by squats and lunges, and the group performed only the treadmill exercise. Both groups were allocated the same time. Both groups performed the assigned exercise thrice a week for 3 weeks. After the intervention, the FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC values and the activities of RF and GCM muscles were measured again. Results : The FVC and FEV1 values increased significantly in both groups after the intervention (p<.05). RF activity increased significantly after the intervention in the complex exercise group (p<.05), and the magnitude of change in RF activity after the intervention was significantly higher in the complex exercise group than in the aerobic-exercise-only group (p<.05). GCM activity also significantly increased after the intervention in both groups (p<.05). Conclusion : On the basis of our results, we recommend combining leg strengthening and aerobic exercise to improve leg muscle activity along with lung function.

Background: Exercise capacity is associated with lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but a discrepancy between exercise capacity and airflow limitation exists. This study aimed to explore factors contributing to this discrepancy in COPD patients. Methods: Data for this prospective study were obtained from the Korean COPD Subgroup Study. The exercise capacity and airflow limitation were assessed using the 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD; m) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁). Participants were divided into four groups: FEV₁ >50%+6-MWD >350, FEV₁ >50%+6-MWD ≤350, FEV₁ ≤50%+6-MWD >350, and FEV₁ ≤50%+6-MWD ≤350 and their clinical characteristics were compared. Results: A total of 883 patients (male:female, 822:61; mean age, 68.3±7.97 years) were enrolled. Among 591 patients with FEV₁ >50%, 242 were in the 6-MWD ≤350 group, and among 292 patients with FEV₁ ≤50%, 185 were in the 6-MWD >350 group. The multiple regression analyses revealed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 8.779; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.539 to 50.087; p=0.014), current smoking status (OR, 0.355; 95% CI, 0.178 to 0.709; p=0.003), and hemoglobin levels (OR, 1.332; 95% CI, 1.077 to 1.648; p=0.008) were significantly associated with discrepancies in exercise capacity and airflow limitation in patients with FEV₁ >50%. Meanwhile, in patients with FEV₁ ≤50%, diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (OR, 0.945; 95% CI, 0.912 to 0.979; p=0.002) was significantly associated with discrepancies between exercise capacity and airflow limitation. Conclusion: The exercise capacity of COPD patients may be influenced by factors other than airflow limitation, so these aspects should be considered when assessing and treating patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of smoking duration, smoked cigarettes per day and smoking cessation period on pulmonary function among ex-smokers: based on the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Methods: This study was analyzed using the 6th KNHANES data. Pulmonary function tests were performed on a total of 4,214 adults (> 40 years old). A total of 770 adults ex-smokers were eligible for inclusion in the final analysis. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second ($FEV_1$) and $FEV_1/FEV$ were measured to evaluate pulmonary function. Results: This study showed that there were significant differences in both $FEV_1$ and FVC values based on gender, age and height, among ex-smokers. $FEV_1/FVC$ significantly differed by age, height and the smoking duration prior to smoking cessation. Multiple regression analysis revealed that, $FEV_1/FVC$ accounted for 26.0% of the variance by age, height and smoking duration. There was a difference in the mean value of $FEV_1/FVC$ with or without smoking for more than 10 years. Conclusion: This study's findings show that smoking for over 10 years in an ex-smoker can lead to problems with the respiratory system. The long-term cigarette has progressive ill effects on the respiratory system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the types of seat surface (static or dynamic seat surface) on the pulmonary functions during prolonged sitting. Methods: Thirty-four participants (20 males and 14 females) were recruited, and distributed randomly into dynamic prolonged sitting (DPS, n=17) and static prolonged sitting (SPS, n=17) groups. The DPS group was seated on a chair with a dynamic air cushion, and the SPS group was seated on a chair without a dynamic air cushion. The pulmonary function was assessed before sitting, and after participants had been seated for one hour. The pulmonary function [forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and Peak expiratory flow (PEF)] was measured using a spirometer. Results: Statistical analyses revealed significant differences in the time x group interactions of FVC, FEV1, PEF, and FEV1/FVC. The DPS group were significantly different in FVC, FEV1, PEF, and FEV1/FVC after prolonged sitting for one hour, compared to the SPS group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that dynamic sitting can prevent a decrease in the physiological function, such as pulmonary functions, rather than static sitting during prolonged sitting.

목 적 : 천식의 특징은 기도염증의 결과인 가역적인 기류제한과 기관지과반응성이다. 최근에 호기산화질소(exhaled nitric oxide; FeNO)이 비침습적으로 기도염증을 알 수 있는 지표로서 이에 대한 많은 연구가 있었다. 또한 FeNO는 천식의 중증도를 나타내는 데 이용되는 객담내 호산구수나 메타콜린 기도유발시험과 관련이 있다고 보고되었다. 이에 저자들은 간헐성 천식환자에서 폐기능검사와 호기산화질소와의 관계를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2005년 4월부터 8월까지 경희의대부속병원 소아과에서 천식으로 진단되어 폐기능검사와 호기산화질소 측정이 가능하였던 5세부터 15세의 80명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 최근 4주내에 상기도 감염이 없었고, 부신피질스테로이드를 포함한 조절약물을 사용하지 않은 경우에 연구 대상에 포함하였다. 폐기능검사는 Microspirometer를 사용하였다. Eco Medics사의 Chemiluminescence NO-analyzer(CLD 88 sp, Duernten, Switzerland)를 사용하여 FeNO를 측정하였으며 폐기능 검사와 FeNO와의 상관관계 분석은 Spearman correlation coefficient를 사용 하였다. 결 과 : 1초간 강제호기량(forced expiratory volume in 1 second, $FEV_1$)의 평균은 $0.890{\pm}0.455L$이었으며 강제폐활량 (forced vital capacity; FVC)의 평균은 $1.071{\pm}0.630L$이었다. $FEV_1%pred$의 평균은 $98.39{\pm}34.27%$였으며 $FEV_1/FVC$의 평균은 $88.53{\pm}19.49$이었다. FeNO의 평균치는 16.88 parts per billion(ppb)이었다. FeNO 측정치는 $FEV_1$(r=0.345, P<0.01), FVC(r=0.244, P<0.05)와 유의한 상관관계를 보였으나 $FEV_1%pred$와 $FEV_1/FVC$는 FeNO와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 결 론 : FeNO의 측정은 폐기능 검사와 함께 소아천식 환자의 관리에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 신빙성있는 검사로 생각되며 측정 방법이나 측정치의 참고치 설정에 앞으로 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a simultaneous dual-task and horse-riding simulator (HRS) training regime on pulmonary function and flexibility. Methods: Sixteen subjects were recruited and randomly allocated to two groups: a dual-task (DT) (n=8) or a single-task (ST) (n=8) training group. Flexibility and pulmonary function were assessed before and after HRS training. Both groups underwent HRS training for 4 weeks, 3 times/week in 15-minute training sessions. The ST group underwent HRS training and the DT group underwent dual-task HRS training, which consisted of throwing and catching a ball and ring catching while HRS training. Results: Training significantly increased flexibility and FVC (forced vital capacity) and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) in both groups (p<0.05), but FEV1/FVC and PEF (peak expiratory flow) were not significantly different after training in both groups (p>0.05). After the training, flexibility and FVC in the DT group were significantly greater than in the ST group (p<0.05), but FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and PEF were not significantly different (p>0.05). Conclusion: Simultaneous dual-task and HRS motor training improved flexibility, FVC, and FEV1, and our comparative analysis suggests that dual-task HRS training improved flexibility and FVC more than single-task training.

The medical record of ECC and pulmonary function test of 297 cases who were dead at hospital or admitted as coal workers' pneumoconiosis were used for the study of the relationship between forced expiratory volume in one second($FEV_{1.0}$) and ECG sign of pulmonale. The incidence of T wave inversion in $V_1$ lead was significantly increased as $FEV_{1.0}$ decrease. The incidence of T wave inversion in $V_1$ lead was over the half in the group of $FEV_{1.0}$ less than 0.7l.
