This study investigated the effects of Lavandula angustifolia (L. angustifolia) aroma on the brain electrical activity evaluated by an electroencephalogram (EEG) in the male adults since many researches were performed with females and few with males. Sleep quality of 35 male adults were analyzed by Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and they were divided into two groups of good sleep quality and poor sleep quality. EEG electrodes were attached at the frontal (F3, F4), temporal (T3, T4), occipital (O1, O2), and parietal (P3, P4) regions according to the International 10-20 system. EEG was measured for 3 min per each period of before, during, and after L. angustifolia aromatherapy. Subjects with good sleep quality showed increases in the delta power at the parietal region of both cerebral hemispheres and in the theta power at the temporal region of right hemisphere (p<0.05), and a decrease in the alpha at the parietal region of both cerebral hemispheres (p<0.05). And subjects with poor sleep quality showed increases in the delta power at the frontal region of left cerebral hemisphere and in the theta power at the frontal region of both hemispheres (p<0.05). It is concluded that L. angustifolia aroma has effects on decreasing an awakening status related-brain wave and increasing the sleep status related-brain waves in the male adults with good sleep quality, and has also effects on increasing the sleep status related-brain waves in the male adults with poor sleep quality.

The genres of fantastic of Korean films created in the 90s are diverse. The fantastics of these works are not manifested only in 'Ghosts' movies. For example, If the film Mystery Of The Cube, which is based on the mystery of Lee Sang, has a story of structuralist fantasy, we can say that a movie like Tell Me Something has a psychologically conventional fantastic. This study examines the fantastic of contemporary Korean films through 'completion of allegory based on realism'. For this, we borrows the fantastic concept of Etienne Souriau. In some films, fantastics can be found directly in the developing nature. In this case, the human being who justifies their domination of nature by upgrading their position as the objectifying subject of nature becomes 'alienated' in return. The notion of this alienation in film narratives is often revealed through allegories, particularly in the manifestation of fantasy by Étienne Souriau in the early 'personal experience'. Kim kiduk's film is a representative example of allegorizing elements of society through individual experience. Focusing on Kim Giduk's Bad Guy, this essay analyzes the process in which fantastic films of Korea in the 90s build up aesthetic fantastic through imitation of society.

당뇨병환자가 혈당을 잘 조절해야 하는 가장 큰 이유 중 하나는 당뇨병으로 인해 발생하는 합병증을 예방하고 진행을 늦추는 것입니다. 당뇨병환자가 혈당을 정상에 가깝게 조절을 하면 만성 합병증의 발생을 예방할 수 있고, 발생한 합병증의 진행을 늦출 수 있다는 연구 보고들이 많이 있습니다. 그렇다면 어느 정도 혈당수치가 되어야만 혈당조절이 잘 되었다고 할 수 있을까요? 즉 당뇨병환자의 목표 혈당수치는 얼마일까요? 목표 혈당수치는 공복 혈당, 식후 혈당, 취침전 혈당이 각각 다릅니다. 당화혈색소는 혈당수치는 아니지만 공복이나 식후 혈당과는 달리 2$\sim$3개월간의 혈당수치를 반영하므로 혈당조절이 잘되고 있는지를 알아보는 지표로 많이 이용하고 있습니다. 공복혈당은 80$\sim$120mg/dL, 식후 2시간 혈당은 160mg/dL 미만, 취침전 혈당은 100$\sim$140mg/dL를 유지하는 것을 권장하고 있으며, 당화혈색소는 7% 이하 가능하다면 6.5% 까지 유지하는 것을 목표로 합니다. 더 나아가서 당뇨병으로 인한 만성 합병증을 예방하려면 혈당조절뿐만 아니라 혈압, 콜레스테롤도 잘 조절해야 합니다. 혈압은 130/80mmHg 이하로 유지해야 하며 우리 몸에 좋은 콜레스테롤(HDL)은 남자는 40mg/dL 이상, 여자는 50 mg/dL 이상 되어야 하고, 우리 몸에 나쁜 콜레스테롤(LDL)은 100mg/dL 이하, 중성지방은 150mg/dL 이하로 유지해야 합니다. 물론 금연을 하여야 하고 음주를 해서는 안되겠습니다.

Purpose: This study examined the food and nutrient intake of Korean elderly according to the anxiety and depressive condition using the data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) from 2013 to 2015. Methods: The participants were 3,504 elderly people over 65 years of age (1,523 in men and, 1,981 in women). The dietary information was analyzed using the 24-hour recall data. The anxiety and depressive state was assessed using the self-reported scale EQ-5D in the quality of life dimension. The subjects were divided into the anxiety depression group (AD) and non-anxiety depression group (NAD) according to their anxiety and depressive conditions. Results: In the male elderly, the AD group had a significantly lower education and economic level and higher proportion in living alone than the NAD group. The percentage of eating lunch and dinner alone in the male AD group was higher than that of the NAD group. The female AD group showed less a lower frequency of dinner than the NAD group. The male AD group had a lower consumption of total foods, fish and shellfishes, seaweeds, mushrooms, oils and fats, and seasonings than the NAD group. With regard to the nutrient intake, the male elderly NAD group had more sufficient nutrient intakes than the AD group. In particular, the daily intakes of dietary fiber, riboflavin, niacin, potassium and iron were significantly lower in the AD group. To compare with the nutrient density of the two groups, the vitamin C and niacin intakes were lower in the AD group than in the NAD group. Overall, the nutritional status of the male AD group was significantly lower than that of the NAD group. Meanwhile, the female elderly had showed a smaller difference in nutrient intake according to their anxiety and depressive condition. Conclusion: These results of this study show that more nutritional education and emotional support are needed to improve the nutritional status and health of the male elderly with anxiety or depression.

This study was done to investigate the effect of stress on appetite and eating habits, and other health-related behaviors. The subjects of this study consisted of 188 males and 224 females in Ulsan area. The results were as follows: When stressed, 56% (n = 231) of the subjects experienced a change in appetite and of these, 32% (n = 132) experienced an increased appetite. Stress-induced eating may be one factor contributing to the development of obesity. There was a gender-specific response to stress in which women are more likely to use food to deal with stress, whereas men are more likely to use alcohol consumption or smoking. It was found that types of stressors were individual (52.9%), social (50.7%), family relations (34.5%), work demands (34.2%) and physical environment (32.3%). Stress-induced symptoms of the subjects were anxiety (38.3%), headache (36.7%) and neck or shoulder aches (36.2%), and females experienced those symptoms more than males. Those older than 50 years had a higher eating habit score and lower stress score compared with younger subjects. There were significant differences between sex, age, occupation, family type, BMI, exercise, sleeping hours and eating habits or stress level. This study may be helpful in advancing findings in this area to better provide health professionals with appropriate counseling tools to improve the health of all individuals.

Purpose: To evaluate treatment outcomes of malignant melanoma and to analyze the factors that contributes to outcomes. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the 51 cases of malignant melanoma from March, 1997 to March, 2004 and were followed up more than 5 years. Average age was 49.4. We compared 5-year survival rate for each age, gender, site of occurrence, depth of tumor, metastasis of regional lymph node and immuno-chemo therapy. Results: 5-year survival rate was 88.5% for the age group below 65, 88.0% for the age group 65 and above, 62.5% for male and 100% for female. 5-year survival rate for the site of occurrence showed 100% in upper extremities, and 80.0% in lower extremities and 100% in other sites. 5-year survival rate was 100% for the stage below Clark stage III and 79.3% for the stage above IV. In surgical resection, 5-year survival rate was 66.7% for lymph node metastasis group and 94.9% for non-lymph node metastasis group. Conclusion: The prognostic factors of malignant melanoma were gender, tumor site, depth of tumor (Clark's stage) and metastasis of regional lymph node. But, there was no relation between the age and the survival rate in our study.

The objective of this study was to make a comparison on anger level between patients with coronary artery diseases and healthy individuals. 233 patients with coronary artery diseases and 215 normal controls were enrolled in this study. The Anger Expression Scale, the anger and aggression subscales of the Stress Response Inventory(SRI) and the hostility subscale of the Symptom Checklist-90-revised(SCL-90-R) were used to assess the level of anger. The patients with coronary artery diseases scored significantly higher on the anger-out and anger total subscales of the anger expression scale, the anger and aggression subscales of the SRI than the normal controls. The patients with angina pectoris had significantly higher scores in the anger-out and anger-total subscale than those with myocardial infarction. Male subjects scored significantly higher on the anger-in subscale than females, whereas female subjects scored significantly higher on the anger-out subscale than male subjects. These results suggest that patients with coronary artery diseases are likely to have a higher level of anger or anger expression than normal controls and that there may be difference in anger expression between male and female patients. It is emphasized that anger management is needed to prevent the coronary artery disease patients from aggravating the illness.
