<sec> <b>Objectives</b> <p>To investigate the effect of smoking upon cardiopulmonary function, maximal oxygen uptake, and obesity index, in middle-aged and older workers to propose guidelines on healthcare for these age groups.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Methods</b> <p>This study analyzed medical data from 2,753 white-collar workers aged 50 years or older from workplaces located in Seoul, South Korea. Blood pressure (BP), resting heart rate, maximal oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>max), and body mass index (BMI) of each subject were measured. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Results</b> <p>In the smoking group BP and resting heart rate were significantly higher than in the non-smoking and smoking-cessation groups (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.05). In addition, VO<sub>2</sub>max was lower in the smoking group compared to the other 2 groups. BP closely correlated with resting heart rate, abdominal fat ratio, and BMI. BMI was the highest in the group that stopped smoking and, BMI and abdominal fat ratio negatively correlated with VO<sub>2</sub>max.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Conclusion</b> <p>Smoking increases the risk of cardiopulmonary disease but obesity may be caused by stopping smoking. Therefore, healthcare guidelines on smoking cessation should also include nutritional advice.</p></sec>

Sahar Shokouhi, Jahangir Abdi
Osong Public Health Res Perspect 2018;9(3):101-104.
Published online June 30, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.24171/j.phrp.2018.9.3.03
<sec> <b>Objectives</b> <p>The present study was performed to determine the seroprevalence of <italic>Toxocara</italic> in children ≤ 10 years old, from rural and urban areas of Ilam.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Methods</b> <p>Serum samples from 383 children ≤ 10 years old, were selected randomly from rural and urban areas of Ilam province and surveyed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Results</b> <p>The total rate of infection with <italic>Toxocara</italic> was 22% (31% with a history of contact with dogs and cats, and 14% without a history of contact). Of those infected, 23% were male and 18% were female, 36% lived a rural life and 20% had an urban life. A significant correlation was found between the incidence of disease, and urban and rural life, as well as exposure to dogs and cats. There was no correlation between prevalence and gender or age.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Conclusion</b> <p>Given the high prevalence of infection with <italic>Toxocara</italic> amongst children in Ilam province, preventive work in the community such as education in risk management and periodic treatment with anti-parasitic drugs and elimination of stray dogs and cats is an appropriate measure.</p></sec>

<sec> <b>Objectives</b> <p>This study was designed to analyze biomarker-related publications and patent trends which biobanks could consider in planning biosample collections for biomarker research.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Methods</b> <p>Publications and patents containing the term “biomarker” in the title published between 1998 to 2017 were retrieved using Scopus database and Google Patents search engine.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Results</b> <p>Over the last 20 years there has been a steady increase in biomarker-related publications and patents; however this has slowed for patents over the last few years. Publications in 2017 that contained blood, serum, and plasma search terms in the abstract accounted for 50%, and serum as a search term in the title and abstract was more numerous than those containing blood, plasma, tissue, or urine. Blood-related patents were the most common patent in the last 10 years, and accounted for 110 patents in 2017. Biomarker-related publications since 2010 containing RNA and protein search terms in the title and abstract, were more numerous than those containing DNA and metabolite search terms. More than 27% of biomarker-related publications in 2017 and 21% of biomarker-related patents were associated with cancer.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Conclusion</b> <p>The results of this study will help biobanks establish a biosample collection strategy for clinical application.</p></sec>

<sec> <b>Objectives</b> <p>Hand, Foot and Mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects young children and frequently causes epidemics. A vaccine is available in China (enterovirus 71) and, the Republic of Korea took the first step to develop a new vaccine. New vaccine development requires that disease burden is calculated in advance so the financial cost, morbidity and mortality can be measured.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Methods</b> <p>Data from National Sentinel Surveillance and health insurance systems of 1 million claimants were used. Direct medical and non-medical costs, indirect (caregiving and premature death) costs, cases and related deaths were summarized.</p></sec> <sec> <b>Results</b> <p>From 2010 to 2014, there were an estimated 3,605 to 9,271 cases of HFMD, with 1 to 3 deaths. The estimated socioeconomic disease burden ranged from 80.5 to 164.2 million USD and was similar to that of hepatitis A (93.6–103.8 million USD). Among each costs, costs of caregiving consisted of highest proportion mainly due to hiring caregivers (50% – 60%) or opportunity costs from day off (62% – 69%).</p></sec> <sec> <b>Conclusion</b> <p>Considering the social impact of HFMD, the estimated socioeconomic disease burden is not high and government policies need to focus on reducing the loss of work in caregivers.</p></sec>

Short Communication

Case of Rickettsia typhi-induced Brain Abscess Mimicking Brain Tumor
Yoonhyuk Jang, Jangsup Moon, Jin-Sun Jun, Tae-joon Kim, Kyung-Il Park, Soon-Tae Lee, Keun-Hwa Jung, Sang Kun Lee, Kon Chu
Osong Public Health Res Perspect 2018;9(3):122-125.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.24171/j.phrp.2018.9.3.07
<p>Murine typhus is one of the most prevalent rickettsial infections in the world, caused by the bacterial genus <italic>Rickettsia</italic>. Though the disease manifests a relatively benign clinical course with fever, rash, and headache being the 3 classic symptoms, neurological complications may arise in patients that could become permanent. In this case study, a patient with a brain abscess caused by <italic>R typhi</italic> infection is described. Based upon the recent reemergence of arthropod-borne disease, the findings in this case are significant; <italic>R typhi</italic> can cause a brain abscess that mimics a brain tumor, which delays the diagnosis and appropriate management of the disease. Murine typhus should always be considered when performing the differential diagnosis of brain abscesses in South Korea.</p>

Brief Report

Review of the Incidence of Japanese Encephalitis in Foreign-Born and Korean Nationals Living in the Republic of Korea, 2007–2016
Een-Suk Shin, Ok Park, In-Sik Kong
Osong Public Health Res Perspect 2018;9(3):126-129.
Published online June 30, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.24171/j.phrp.2018.9.3.08
<p>The Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine was introduced to the national immunization program in 1985, which has led to a dramatic decrease in the number of reported cases, but JE continues to occur in foreign nationals residing in or traveling to Korea. Although the incidence is low, this study demonstrated that more Koreans were infected with JE than foreign-born expatriates. The incidence rates of Korean-born nationals were between 0.01 and 0.08 cases per 100,000. In contrast, the incidence rates of foreign-born nationals ranged between 0 and 0.26 cases per 100,000. The incidence rates clearly showed that foreign-born expatriates were more at risk, which underscores the importance of vaccination. We recommend heightened surveillance among JE-susceptible individuals and promote vaccination among foreign-born nationals living in Korea.</p>
