  • Background: We compared treatment completion rates and safety of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide sixcycle therapy (TC6) with docetaxel followed by 5FU, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (T-FEC) therapy in Japanese patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Materials and Methods: We administered TC6 q3w or T-FEC q3w to HER2-negative breast cancer patients. The primary endpoint of this trial was toxicity. As second endpoints, the treatment completion rate and relative dose intensity were evaluated. Results: The TC6 and T-FEC group consisted of 22 and 21 patients, respectively. Concerning hematological toxicity, grade 3 or higher adverse reactions included neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. As non-hematological adverse events, exanthema and peripheral neuropathy were frequently reported in the TC6 group, whereas more patients of the T-FEC group reported nausea and vomiting. In TC6, the treatment completion rate was 86.4% and the relative dose intensity of docetaxel was 93.2%. In T-FEC, the values were 95.2% and 98.9%, respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that TC6 is tolerable in Japanese, and that this regimen can also be performed in outpatient clinics. However, with the TC6 regimen, the compliance was slightly lower than with the T-FEC regimen, and supportive therapy needs to be managed appropriately.

  • Purpose: This study is to investigate the muscle activity based on real-time visual feedback training methods by rehabilitative ultrasound image in elderly and correlation between Heckmatt scale grade, muscle tone and thickness. Design: Cross-sectional study: Pilot study Methods: 6 elderly participated in the study with 2 conditions. Under the condition of rehabilitation ultrasound imaging equipment, all subjects performed voluntary maximal muscle contraction of the quadriceps 3 times using visual feedback based on Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging 1.0 (RUSI 1.0). Under the condition of only ultrasound images, all subjects performed voluntary maximal muscle contraction of the quadriceps 3 times using ultrasound image-based visual feedback. The muscle thickness and tone of the quadriceps were measured and the grades were classified by Heckmatt scale and all variables were comparative analyzed. Results: Heckmatt scale grade showed a negative correlation with muscle thickness at relaxation (p<0.05), and a negative correlation with the difference value obtained by subtracting muscle thickness at relaxation from muscle thickness at contraction in ultrasound image condition (p<0.05). The muscle tone during relaxation showed a negative correlation with the muscle thickness during relaxation (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the case of voluntary maximum muscle contraction of the quadriceps muscle in the elderly, it can be seen that the muscle thickness is getting larger when the RUSI 1.0-based visual feedback is provided than with only ultrasound image provided. And the lower Heckmatt scale grade is, the thicker the muscle is, and the lower the muscle tone is.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify changes in physical activity, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOL) during COVID-19 in adults by age group. Methods: An online survey was conducted on a total of 160 participants who were divided into three groups by age; young adults, middle-aged adults, and old adults. The participants responded to the self-reported assessment of the impact of social distancing during COVID-19, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF36). Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation were used for data analysis. Results: There were significant differences between the three age groups in physical activity (p<0.05) and PSQI (p<0.01) and a post hoc analysis showed that the young adults' group had significantly higher physical activity than the old adults' group, while the old adults' group had significantly lower scores of PSQI (better sleep quality) than the others. The young adults' group showed a significant negative correlation between the stress from social distancing and QOL (r=-0.27, p<0.05) and between PSQI and QOL (r=-0.48, p<0.05). For the middle-aged adults' group, there was a significant negative correlation between PSQI and QOL (r=-0.53, p<0.05). The old adults' group showed a significant negative correlation between the stress from social distancing and physical activity (r=-0.35, p<0.05) and PSQI (r=-0.50, p<0.05), while there was a significant positive correlation between physical activity and PSQI (r=0.30, p<0.05) and QOL (r=0.30, p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study could be used as basic data for the promotion of physical and mental health in the post-COVID-19 era.

  • 연구배경 : 폐결핵의 치료경과 중에 원활하게 치효에 성공하는 예는 대개 도말이 1~2개월 먼저 음전하고 그 후에 배양도 음전하며 그 후 계속해서 음성상태를 유지한다. 그런데, 배양이 도말보다 먼저 음전되는 도말양성 배양음성 현상을 임상에서 볼 수 있고, 이런 예 중에서도 흔하지는 않으나 특히, 배양은 치료개시 후 4개월 이전에 음전되었더라도 도말이 치료개시 후 6개월을 초과하여 지속적인 양성을 보이는 경우에는 임상적으로 치료실패여부 및 약제변경여부를 판단하는데 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 일차 항결핵제로 치료개시 후 6개월을 초과하여 지속적인 도말양성 배양음성 현상을 보이는 예 중에 일차 항결핵제로 치료종결한 예를 대상으로 임상적 특성, 치료종결 후의 임상성적 그리고 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하여 임상 진료에 참고가 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 국립마산결핵병원에서 1995년 1월부터 2000년 12월 사이에 치료개시 후 6개월을 초과하여 지속적인 도말양성 배양음성 현상을 보였고, 일차 항결핵제로 치료종결된 21예를 대상으로 전체환자의 흉부방사선 소견을 비롯한 임상적 특성과 치료종결 후 재발율을 포함한 임상 성적을 조사하고, 재발군과 비재발군으로 분류하여 각 군의 임상적 특성의 차이가 있는지를 확인하였다. 그리고 투약기간의 연장여부, 내성약제 수, 과거력 수, 흉부 방사선 소견상 병변의 크기에 따른 재발율을 비교하고 각각의 변수가 재발에 영향을 주는지를 확인하였다. 결 과 : 전체 대상 환자는 총 21예로 남자가 17예, 여자가 4예 였고, 20세부터 60세까지의 연령분포를 보였으며, 평균 나이는 44.2세 였다. 평균 내성 약제 수는 1제였다. 사용한 항결핵제는 INH, RFP, EMB, PZA 네가지 약제에 SM이나 KM이 첨가된 경우가 6예 있었고 INH, RFP, EMB 세 가지 약제만으로 처음부터 투약된 경우가 1예 있었다. 평균 13.3개월의 투약을 하였다. 배양검사상 대상 환자 모두 3.1개월 이내에 음전되었으며, 투약기간 동안 계속하여 도말검사에서 양성을 보인 3예를 제외한 18예의 도말검사상 평균 음전기간은 9.5개월 이었다. 흉부 방사선 소견상 1예를 제외한 20예에서 공동성 병변을 보였고, 확장병변이 13예(61.9%)로 가장 많았고, 중등병변이 7예(33.3%) 였으며, 국소병변이 1예 있었다. 치료개시 후 20~24주 경의 흉부 방사선 사진과 치료 개시 때의 사진을 비교한 결과 모든 예에서 호전을 보였다. 치료종결 후 평균 15.2개월의 추적관찰 기간 중 4예의 재발이 있어 재발율은 19% 였으며, 재발의 시기는 모두 치료종결 후 3개월에서 4개월 사이에 발생되어 치료 종결 후 재발시기는 평균 14.1주 였다. 14예의 신환 중 1예의 재발이 있어 재발율이 7.1%였고, 두 번째 치료를 하는 4예에서는 재발이 없었고, 세 번째, 네 번째, 다섯 번째 치료를 하는 나머지 3예는 모두 재발하여 과거력의 수에 따른 재발율은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 재발군 1예에서 4.3개월의 투약기간 연장이 있었고, 비재발군 17예 중 11예에서 평균 4.5개월의 투약기간이 연장되었으나 투약기간의 연장여부가 재발에 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다(odds ratio, 95% 신뢰구간 0.18, 2.15). 결 론 : 투약 개시 후 6개월올 초과하는 도말양성 배양음성 현상은, 의사가 지속적인 도말양성을 치료실패로 잘못 해석하거나 부적절한 치료처방을 할 가능성이 있으므로, 지속적인 객담 도말양성 배양음성 현상의 임상적 중요성을 인식하는 것이 중요하겠으며, 투약 20~24주의 방사선학적 호전을 근거로 일차 항결핵제를 유지하고자 하는 경우에는 투약기간의 연장은 필요치 않으며, 과거력이 2회 이상인 경우에는 재발에 대한 세심한 관심이 있어야 한다.

  • Time management skills are essential for Occupation Therapy students' success, and development of clinical competence. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between time management skills and anxiety and academic motivation of nursing students. This study was carried out on 95 Occupation Therapy students. Data were collected using demographic Questionnaire, Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ), Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), which was completed t by self-report. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software with descriptive and analytical statistics such as ANOVA, independent t-test, Regression and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results also showed a statistically significant negative correlation between the students' TMQ scores and the state anxiety (r= -0.282, p< 0.005) and trait anxiety scores (r= -0.325, p<0.005). Moreover, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the students' TMQ scores and AMS scores (r= 0.279, p< 0.005). Regarding the findings, it seems that it is necessary to plan for improving time management skills in order to enhance academic motivation and reduce anxiety rates among Occupation Therapy students.

  • This study aimed to determine the usefulness of classifying patients with neck pain on the basis of the results of passive scapular elevation test. We classified 21 patients with neck pain into positive (n=12) and negative (n=9) groups on the basis of passive scapular elevation test; the 2 groups then equally performed scapular stabilization exercise program for 30 min, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI), and range of motion (ROM) were recorded both before and after the intervention for both groups. Paired t-test was used to determine that there were significant changes between before and after the intervention, and independent t-test was used for analyzing changes between two groups of dependent variables. After 4 weeks of training, we observed significant decrease in pain and disability (p<.05) and a significant increase in rotation, flexion, extension, and side-bending ROM (p<.05) in both groups. Further, between pre- and post-intervention evaluations, we observed a significant decrease in pain and disability and a significant increase in rotation and flexion ROM in the positive group than in the negative group (p<.05). These results indicate that passive scapular elevation test may be used to identify mechanical disorders of the cervicoscapular muscle in patients with neck pain. Therefore, we recommend the use of passive scapular elevation test to determine appropriate treatment intervention when treating patients with neck pain.

  • Purpose : This study investigated the effects of personality and sensory processing on college life adaptation in students majoring in occupational therapy. Methods : We conducted a survey study on 251 college students from March to May 2023. Personality, sensory processing, and college life adaptation were measured through the international personality item pool, adolescent/adult sensory profile, and student adaptation to college questionnaire, respectively. The general characteristics of students were analyzed using frequency analysis, and differences in college life adaptation and sensory processing characteristics were analyzed using independent t-tests and one-way ANOVA. The relationship between personality, sensory processing, and college life adaptation scores was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The impact of personality and sensory processing on college life adaptation was analyzed using multivariate regression analysis using SPSS 25.0. Results : Correlations of all five personality factors, except openness to experience, were observed with students' college life adaptation. According to sensory processing characteristics, differences in college life adaption showed significant differences in sensory avoidance, poor registration, and sensory sensitivity. The variance of college life adaptation explained by each factor (based on R2) were 46% by personality and 26% by sensory processing. Among personality traits, neuroticism had a negative effect on college life adaptation, agreeableness and extroversion had positive effects, and low registration during sensory processing had a negative effect. Conclusion : This study suggests the provision of various activities and creation of an environment for college students with low sensory registration and neurotic traits to encourage positive changes. The results can be used to design a program that helps college students adapt to occupational therapy majors.

  • Background: The purpose of this study was to comparison and correlation between physical and psychological functions by gender in Judo athletes. Both the physical and psychological factors of athletes are important as factors influencing athletic performance, but there are few papers that have compared and studied the correlation between physical and psychological functions of judo players. Design: Cross sectional study Methods: The 134 participants; high school students, college students, and team players. They used physical functions to measure such as self-describing KOOS, FAOS, ODI, POMS, SCAT, ASMQ, and ACSI-28. Results: There was a significant difference in the physical function according to gender in the KOOS, but no significant difference in the FAOS and ODI. For psychological function, there was a significant difference in the vitality item in the POMS, and a significant difference in the body management, training management, life management, and unique behavior management items in the ASMQ. In the ACSI-28, there were significant differences in coping with adversity, stress repayment, concentration, freedom to worry about matches, and self-coaching behavior items. Physical function and psychological function showed a significant negative correlation. The POMS showed a negative correlation between the ASMQ and ACSI-28, whereas the SCAT showed a positive correlation. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to be used as a basic data for sports training by gender of Judo athletes.

  • Purpose: This study was to investigate how dose the radiography findings are to magnetic resonance (MR) image findings in the L5-S1 instability patients. The subjects of this study were comprised of eleven males and fifteen females, who had Lumbago and agreed with this research. Methods: Radiography and MR images of Lumbar spine were acquired respectively from subjects in conditions of maximum flexion and extension. The horizontal and angular displacements in lumabosacral spine radiography were used to assess the instability of lumbar spine. MR images were also used to evaluate the intervertebral disc abnormalities and change of bone marrow. Results: The results are as follows. 1. In the case of flexion transitional displacement proposed by Dupuis et al, the specificity and negative predictive value were good accuracy ($0.7{\sim}0.8$), and the negative predictive value was in average. In the case of extension displacement, the negative predictive value was about average ($0.6{\sim}0.7$), but the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value were below the poor (<0.6). On the other side, the specificity was about average but other things were below in the case of angular displacement. 2. In the case of flexion transitional displacement proposed by Dupuis et al., compared with the intervertebral disc abnormalities, the negative prediction value was excellent, the sensitivity good, and the specificity about average. In the case of extension, the negative prediction value was about average, but the other things were poor. On the other side the specificity and negative predictive value had good accuracy and the sensitivity and positive prediction value were below average in the case of angular displacement. Conclusion: The above results show that the radiography finding is sufficiently helpful to find the lumbar spine instability as an economic point of view.
