  • In old age, measures to cope with the natural phenomenon of aging and various diseases of the elderly due to the deterioration of physical function are also a challenge for this society. While interest in systematic health is increasing, it is true that awareness and interest in oral-related diseases is relatively lacking. This study aims to present basic data necessary to improve the quality of life for senior citizens aged 65 or older by improving the oral dryness caused by systemic health. By research method, improve oral dryness caused by whole-body health with the elderly over 65 and promote their oral health, inducing the increase of the salivary flow rate through oral health care education, oral exercise, and salivary gland massage. First, on the DMSQ according to the general characteristics of the elderly, the recognition of the whole body and oral health status, independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were conducted. Second, on changes in the salivary flow rate and saliva pH according to the general characteristics of the elderly, recognition of oral and whole-body health status, and whole-body health, paired samples t-test was conducted. Studies have shown that salivary gland flow increased significantly after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, the salivary flow rate significantly increased. In all variables of the recognition of the oral health status, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and in the whole-body health, regardless of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and osteoporosis, the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage, and the salivary flow rate increased after oral exercise and salivary gland massage if the subjects responded that they did not have thyroid abnormality, anemia, abnormalities of breathing, hypotension, gastrointestinal disturbance, or kidney diseases. As a comprehensive analysis of this study, many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with the whole-body health, and many felt oral dryness when they had a problem with oral health cognition. After applying oral exercise and salivary gland massage as intervention methods in the oral health care for the elderly, the salivary flow rate significantly increased, and it is judged that the methods were very effective for controlling oral dryness. Furthermore, it is judged that the factors affecting oral health, whole-body health, and oral dryness would be identified, which would be helpful for the promotion of whole-body health and oral health. It is judged that continuous research would be needed so that measures for the application of the oral care program and system for the elderly would be prepared in the future.

  • $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 이용하여 두경부암 환자에서 이하선과 악하선의 방사선 조사 전후 및 추적 검사에서 방사선 조사로 인한 타액선의 기능 변화, 기능저하의 회복 여부, 이하선과 악하선의 방사선에 대한 감수성 차이, 그리고 구강건조증이 있던 환자와 없던 환자 사이의 기능 저하 차이를 객관적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 방사선 치료를 받는 두경부암 환자중 방사성 동위원소를 이용하여 이하선과 악하선 기능 검사를 시행한 19명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 이용한 이하선과 악하선 기능 검사는 측정된 방사능치에 의한 섭취 곡선과 구연산으로 자극하였을 때의 평균 배출율에 의한 배출 곡선을 포함하였다. 이하선과 악하선의 섭취 곡선에서는 방사선 치료전보다 치료 1주후에서 증가하였고 치료 2주후와 3주후 그리고 치료 종료시에서는 치료 전과 비슷하거나 약간 증가하였으며 방사선 치료 후에서는 시간이 지날수록 점점 감소하였다. 이하선과 악하선의 배출 곡선에서는 방사선 치료 시작부터 종료시까지는 급격히 감소하였고 방사선 치료 후 1년까지의 검사에서는 배출율이 회복되지 않았다. 이하선과 악하선의 방사선에 대한 감수성 차이는 나타나지 않았고 구강건조증을 호소하는 환자와 호소하지 않는 환자 사이의 이하선과 악하선의 평균 배출율 차이는 발견되지 않았다. $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate를 이용한 이하선과 악하선기능 검사로 방사선 치료에 따른 이하선과 악하선의 기능 변화를 객관적으로 평가할 수 있고, 방사선 치료후 1년까지는 이하선과 악하선의 기능 회복이 없어 방사선 치료를 받은 두경부암 환자의 타액선 기능에 관한 예후추정에 도움이 되리라 사료된다.
