This study aims to analyze the differences in the strength of single-parent families based on family characteristics. Using a sample of 267 female single parents, we explore the factors that impact family strength. We found that several variables impact the strength of families headed by a female single parent: the length of time members had lived together as a single-parent family, co-residents, interactions with ex-spouses, full-time work, and household income. Based on these findings, we suggest that the length of time that single-parent families have lived together is an important criterion for planning and evaluating the family policies and services offered by healthy family support centers. Furthermore, in the context of family resource management, family policies and programs that address time management and family life planning for full-time single parents should be developed and implemented.

The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the trend of health and nursing researches published in the Journal of the Korean Gerontological Society for 30 years. Total 62 issues of the journal were reviewed and 135 articles(18.3%) were determined as health and nursing research. Among those 135 articles, studies with quantitative methodology were 110(81.5%) and ones with qualitative methodology were 10(7.4%). Less study adopt age criteria as elderly of 65 years old or older and most studies included community dwelling elderly in urban area. Among those quantitative researches survey was the most popular method(82.7%) compared to other types of studies including experimental studies. Experimental studies has been increased since the journal issued for the first time in the year of 1980, yet has occupied only minor portion in the journal until now. Qualitative studies appeared in the journal in the 90' for the first time. The findings of this review suggest that adequate amount of the studies has been published in the field of health and nursing, however more qualified researches are needed to be performed in terms of larger and more diverse subject groups, clearer and more objective criteria of elderly definition and health status, utilizing more objective and scientific instrument. Instruments of Korean culture oriented and phenomena sensitive are needed to be developed as well.

In this study we review the selected articles on elderly health and medical care published in the Journal of the Korea Gerontological Society (JKGS) in the last 40 years, and make suggestions for future research directions for gerontological health and medical care issues. Of all the 40 year publications from volume 1 (1980) to 38 (2017), we first examined the 30th anniversary review on the subject of gerontological nursing care and healthcare policies published in JKGS from 1980 (vol. 1, No. 1) to 2008 (vol. 28, No. 2), and reviewed recent 237 researches of this decade (out of all 655 articles from 2008, vol. 28, No. 3 to 2017, vol. 38, No. 4). We could find the following trends. Firstly, the analysis of the primary authors in the past 10 years revealed that those in public health, nursing and other health-related including physical education areas have dealt the subjects focusing on physical health while those in social welfare mostly on mental health. That is, physical health has been the prime subject of researches in the health and medical care area. Secondly, in the same period quantitative researches were accounted for 89.9%, which is similar to the trend of the first 30 years 81.5 %. On the other hand, qualitative studies were only 11 cases and the focus group interview were the most frequently used method comprising 33.3% among them. Thirdly, the non-experimental researches in the past 10 years comprise 65.4%, which was 82.7% in 1980 2008 period, indicating the increasing trend in experimental researches to deal with the issues in medical and healthcare fields. Lastly, the subjects of the researches were mostly the elders who are healthy, residents of city areas, or home dwellers, and 60% of them were over 65 years old in the past 10 years while the proportion was 42.7% in the previous review period. 81.6 % of the researches in the past 10 years was dealing both genders, slightly decreased trend compared to 88.5% of the previous review period. This study reveals that the researches in non-experimental physical health remains the main stream of JKGS despite the efforts by some researchers to diversify the methods and subjects. Systematic and in-depth researches employing multidisciplinary, qualitative, longitudinal and meta-analytical approaches are called for to guide the gerontolgical health issues with preventive and proactive perspectives.

Objectives : In this study, we examined the estrogenic activities and anti-osteo clastogenesis effects of PCE17, a mixture of PE (an extract of Puerariae Flos), and CE (an extract of Citri Unshius Pericarpium). Methods : The estrogenic effect of PCE17, PE and CE were examined by ER-β/ERE reporter gene assay and proliferation assay in 293 T and MCF-7 cells. The expression of estrogen-responsive gene and protein were checked by Real Time-PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting in MCF-7 cells. Inhibitory effect of PCE17, PE and CE on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation were evaluated by TRAP staining and RT-PCR in primary osteoclast precursors from rat bone marrow cells. Results : PCE17 and PE bind to ERs (estrogen receptors) and show estrogenic activities in 293T cells. They also stimulated the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and increased the expression of ER response gene, pS2. Tectorigenin, an active ingredient of PE, shows similar estrogenic activities in MCF-7 cells. PCE17 and CE inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in rat primary osteoclast precursor cells and down-regulated the osteoclast-specific genes of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Acp5. Conclusions : In conclusion, PCE17 may have therapeutic potential in cases of menopause and osteoporosis.

아건강상태(亞健康狀態)에 처하여 있는 환자는 양의학적으로 뚜렷한 병리적 변화를 찾아보기가 쉽지 않다. 그러나 중의학의 병기이론을 근거로 하면 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)는 일정한 병리적 상태에 처한 것으로 인식된다. 즉 인체의 음양과 기혈이 편파(偏頗)되어 있으며 단지 그 변화가 초기단계에 있기 때문에 병태(病態)적 요인에 비하여 정도(程度)적인 차이가 있는 것으로 인식된다. 중의학이 건강에 대한 인식은 ‘천인상응(天人相應)’과 ‘음평양비(陰平陽秘)’, ‘정신내치(精神乃治)’란 관념이다. 주로 사람과 자연환경 및 외부사회간의 상호관계, 그리고 체내의 음양조화를 이룬 동태평형(動態平衝)을 중요시한다. 즉 인체의 기혈평형과 장부기능의 협조(協調)를 강조하고 기기(氣機)의 조창(調暢)이 건강의 근본(根本)이라고 인식한다. 시대적인 관계로 중의학에는 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)란 용어가 없지만 2000여년 전(前)에 성서(成書)된 중의학의 경전거작(經典巨作)인 ${\ulcorner}$내경(內經)${\lrcorner}$ 속에 일찍이 ‘미병(未病)’이란 개념(槪念)과 치미병(治未病)의 관념을 제출하였다. 이는 중의학이 미병선방(未病先防)의 의학사상을 나타내었고 주로 치병지미성(治病之未成), ‘치기미전(治其未傳)’, ‘차후방복’등 세 가지 방면의 내용을 제시된다. 또한 중의학은 양생학(養生學)에 대하여 특별히 중시하였고,${\ulcorner}$내경(內經)${\lrcorner}$에 대량(大量)의 편폭(篇福)으로 어떻게 양생하고 정기(正氣)를 보호해야 한다는 방법이 소개 되어 있다. 후세(後世) 역대의가(歷代醫家)는 그 내용을 더욱 충실(充實)케 하고 발전시켰다. 근대(近代)에 이르러서 중의학술(中醫學術)에 특유한 내용인 '미병학(未病學)'이 형성되었고, 그 이론체계 속에 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)의 예방과 치료에 관한 내용이 포함되어 있다.
