The purpose of this study was to compare the health behaviors and health indices according to whether a percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) was performed due to chest pain. This is a secondary data analysis study of nursing information questionnaires and electronic medical records of 247 chest pain patients in a hospital from January 2010 to December 2017. The participants were divided into non-PCI and PCI groups, and the health behaviors, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels were collected at the first hospital admission and re-admission. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0. As a result of the study, smoking and lipid levels were significantly healthier than the participants in PCI group during re-hospitalization. Non-PCI group had a high risk of smoking despite the high risk of coronary artery stenosis. It was found that continuous integrated management to promote health behavior is needed. The significance of this study was to identify the importance of health behavior in patients with the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Along with the well-established evidence on the negative effect of social isolation on physical and mental health, increasing attention has been paid to multi-dimensional nature of social isolation. One line of study on social isolation has discussed different pathways between objective and subjective social isolation and health. Another stream of the research focused on the possibly non-linear association between social isolation and health by age cohort groups. Drawing from the two lines of research, this study aimed at empirically examine to what extent objective and subjective social isolation are associated with physical and mental health independently and how the associations vary by three age cohorts(i.e. the middle-aged, the young old, the old-old). Data came from the first wave of Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project (KSHAP) (N= 814). Findings showed 1) objective subjective isolation were significantly related with worse physical and mental health, interestingly, subjective social isolation was associated with mental health only, 2) pattern of association between social isolation and physical health varied by age cohorts. Specifically, compared to the middle-aged, the young old with higher objective social isolation exhibited lower level of physical health, while the old-old with higher subjective social isolation were likely to experience lower physical health. Based on the findings, we discussed implications and suggestions for future research and relevant policy/program development for ameliorating objective and subjective social isolation.

Current study aimed to evaluate elementary school children's perception and eating attitude towards vegetables and analyze environmental factors influencing it. Survey was conducted among elementary school students and their parents in Gangwon district, 410 subjects each(Total 742, 391 students, 351 parents). The results are as follows. Both the children(64.3%) and the parents(84.9%) showed high concern over health. 46.6% of children and 52.4% of parents admitted unbalanced eating behavior, and commonly avoided foods were mostly vegetables such as mushroom, carrot, garlic, sweet pepper-green, welsh onion, kimchi, pumpkin, or beans. Unbalanced eating habit was significantly related to health consideration in choosing what to eat(p<0.01) and interest in health(p<0.05). 70.9% of children with unbalanced eating habit showed intention for correction, and those with high interest in health had stronger intention (p<0.01). Regarding children's perception of 20 kinds of vegetables frequently used in school lunch, swiss chard leaf beet, amaranthus magistratus, and curled mallow were rarely heard of or hardly eaten before. Korean chinese cabbage, radish(62.7%), cucumber(62.1%), perilla leaves(60.4%), lettuce(58.1%), and spinach(54.5%) were among the most frequently eaten. Survey result on children's preference for the vegetables shows lettuce, cucumber, Korean chinese cabbage, perilla leaves, spinach, and radish were highly preferred and stem of garlic, crown daisy, sweet pepper-green, pepper, and curled mallow were the least preferred. There was a significant positive correlation(p<0.01, p<0.001) between children's and their parent's preference for each vegetables, implying that children's preference towards vegetables is greatly influenced by their parent's choice. Children showed negative attitude towards vegetables with strong flavor and tended to avoid vegetables that they remember as not tasty. This suggest that strong flavor and negative prior experience is what determines children's attitude in vegetable consumption. Many children said they try to eat vegetables even if they haven't had it before, and this tendency was significantly correlated with the degree of interest in health(p<0.05) and the degree of consideration of health in choosing what to eat(p<0.001).

The powerful association between poverty and mental health has been recognized for many decades in the Western Countries. Despite growing poverty studies, there has been little attention to the association between poverty and mental health in Korea. In this article we examine the effects of the mental health on the poverty status transition. In this study we draw on nationally representative data from the The Korean Welfare Panel Study, to estimate the effects of depression and self-respects on the poverty status transition. Major findings are as follows. First, we find that there are mental health disparities between poor and non-poor classes. The mental health conditions of the poor are worse than the non-poor. Second, we find the strong correlations between the mental health and poverty status transition. Whether poor family exits poverty or not depends on the household head's mental health. Third, poverty experiences are different depending on the mental health conditions. To the mental ill-health family, the probabilities of poverty-exit are much lower and poverty duration is more long. Fourth, we find that family poverty status transitions are very significantly related with household head's mental health from the logistic model analysis. These findings suggest that there is a strong relationship between poor mental health and the experience of poverty in Korea. They also suggest that intervention programs to enhance the mental health of the poor are needed in order to reduce the poverty problem in Korea.

건강과 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 이에 따른 생활의 양상도 다양하게 변화되고 있다. 보다 쾌적한 생활 환경을 추구하려는 노력으로 최근 쾌적 섬유의 제조 및 가공에 대한 많은 연구결과가 발표되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나, 합성 항균제를 사용한 항균 가공 직물의 경우 안전성 및 환경친화성에 대한 소비자의 기피현상이 나타나고 있으며, 천연물에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 최근에는 키토산을 비롯하여 양파, 쑥, 계피정유, 및 기타 한약재의 추출물을 사용하여 항균성을 확보하고자하는 연구가 계속되고 있다. (중략)

디지털 컨버전스 개념이 속속 도입되고 있다. 휴대폰은 어느덧 디지털 카메라 기능과 MP3기능은 물론 DMB수신 기능을 갖춘 방송 수신기기의 역할 까지 맡고 있다. 또 최근에는 혈당 및 체지방 등 건강 관련 수치를 측정하고, TV리모콘 기능에 하드디스크 기능 까지 갖추고 있다. 콘텐츠 분야에 있어서도 마찬가지다. 이제 콘텐츠 분야에서는 유선 콘텐츠와 무선 콘텐츠의 경계가 없어지는 양상을 보인다. 유선에서 사용하는 인스턴트 메신저를 무선에서 바로 이용하고, 유선 인터넷 사용자와 함께 게임을 즐긴다. 이러면서 유무선의 경계는 점점 옅어져 간다. 이제 소비자들은 콘텐츠의 종류를 가리지 않고 그저 같은 콘텐츠로 느끼기 시작했다고도 할 수 있다.

산업의 고도성장으로 물질문명은 발전하고 있으나 원치않는 환경오염의 피해가 발생하고 있으며, 피해의 양상도 인체의 건강에 미치는 피해와 재산사의 피해 등 그 양태가 매우 다양하다. 환경오염피해가 발생하면 피해자는 책임 있는 자에게 피해의 배상을 요구하고 정당한 배상을 받도록 해야 할 것이나 당사자간의 의견차로 인하여 분쟁이 빈발하고, 이러한 환경분쟁이 주로 환경오염 피해분쟁조정법에 의한 조정으로 해결되고 있으며, 특히 건설공사로 인한 소음.진동 피해분쟁이 전체 환경분쟁의 63%에 달하고 있어 관련법규를 소개함으로써 분쟁의 발생 예방과 해결에 도움이 되고자 한다.

치주영역에서의 교합기능은 치주조직의 유지에 필수적이며 교합력이 치주조직의 적응한계를 초과하는 경우 치주조직의 파괴가 유발되며 이러한 현상을 교합성외상, 교합성외상에 의한 병소라고 한다. 교합성외상에 의한 조직파괴양상은 염증성 치주질환과는 많은차이를 보이며 그 원인과 시간에 따라 분류되기도 하며 치주조직의 건강에 영향을 미치는 교합성외상의 영향과 치료과정에 대해 간략하게 살펴보고자 한다.

과거에는 뉴캣슬병(ND)과 같은 바이러스성 질병은 뜨거운 여름보다는 추운 겨울에 발생이 많았다. 영양분만 있으면 생체 밖의 외부 환경에서도 스스로 증식할 능력을 가진 세균은 날씨가 더워지면 환경에서의 증식속도도 빨라서 오히려 여름철에 발생이 많다. 이에 비하여, 생체를 벗어나면 스스로 증식할 능력이 없어 항상 숙주세포에 감염된 후 숙주세포의 유전자 및 효소와 영양분을 이용해야만 증식이 가능한 바이러스는 외부온도가 올라가면 오히려 환경에서의 생존능력이 떨어지기 때문에 여름보다는 추운 겨울철에 환경에 오랫동안 오염되어 있다가 건강한 계군으로 여러 경로를 통하여 전염됨으로써 피해를 일으키곤 하였던 것이다. 그러나 근래에는 뉴캣슬병의 발생이 과거와는 완연히 다른 양상을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 그 원인과 이에 따른 앞으로의 방역대책을 살펴보기로 한다.
