The main objective of this study was to investigate how people prepare for old age by looking at financial statements from single-person households in Gyeonggi province; the policy implications regarding low fertility and population aging are considered. The subjects were members of 600 households who were aged 26 to 44 years old and not married. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and dichotomous logistic regression using SPSS WIN 12.0. Respondents pointed out that financial problems are the greatest challenges for those facing old age in single-person households; they said that a stable job is the most important factor for secure living. About 57% of household residents responded that they have prepared for retirement, and a majority of them said they hoped to spend their elderly years with a marriage partner. The financial statements from single-person households were inferior to those from other types of households. The assets of single-person household members were less than those of other households. Only 10.5% of respondents have owned homes. The study discusses policy implications for those who want marriage and for those who don't want it. For those who want marriage, job-seeking support was proposed, and for the others, tax deductions and family programs for single-person households were proposed.

혼인과 사망에 관한 연구 대부분은 혼인상태에 있는 사람이 혼인상태에 있지 않은 사람보다 더 건강하게 오래 산다는 사실을 보여준다. 그 이유는 선별효과와 보호 효과로 설명된다. 선별 효과에 의하면, 건강한 사람이 쇠약한 사람보다 혼인할 가능성이 높다. 그 결과, 독신자 집단은 유배우자 집단에 비해 병약한 사람들이 전체 집단에서 차지하는 비율이 높아 더 높은 사망률을 보인다. 보호효과는 혼인이라는 유대를 통해 배우자들이 건강할 때나 아플 때나 서로의 건강을 염려해 주고 또 경제적 그리고 정신적 문제로 인한 스트레스와 스트레스에 관련된 병을 감소시켜, 혼인상태에 있는 사람들의 사망률을 혼인 상태에 있지 않은 사람들의 사망률보다 낮춰 준다는 것이다. 이 연구에서, 우리는 혼인상태의 은퇴 고령 남성이 독신상태의 은퇴 고령 남성과 유의미한 사망률 차이를 보이지 않지만, 이혼하거나 별거하거나 혹은 배우자가 사망한 상태의 은퇴 고령남성보다는 낮은 사망률을 보인다는 사실을 발견했다. 비록 선별효과를 입증해 보여주지는 못했지만. 혼인을 통한 재정적 복지가 은퇴 고령 남성의 사망에 영향을 미치는 경험적 증거는 발견하였다. 중간 소득과 저소득 사이의 은퇴 고령 남성에서 나타나는 사망률 차이는 그들 건강상태의 차이로 나타난다. 중간소득의 은퇴고령 남성이 저소득의 은퇴 고령 남성보다 약간 더 많은 재정적 복지를 통해 보다 나은 건강상태를 유지하고 그 결과 약간 더 낮은 사망률을 보인다. 반면 고소득의 은퇴한 고령남성에게는 혼인의 재정적 복지뿐 아니라 그들의 소득도 그들의 건강증진 및 사망률 저하에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 건강상태일지라도, 고소득의 은퇴 고령남과은 타 집단의 고령 남성보다 사망할 가능성이 낮았다.

This study examined the psychological aspects of a single life with particular focus on the personality ＆ emotional characteristics, the social ＆ behavioral characteristics, marriage, happiness, and sex of singles. The sample consisted of 160 single male and female aged 30 to 49. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the singles tended to be self-centered, especially when they did not have a plan to get married, and that most of the singles in the 30s wanted to have a friend of the other sex. In the view of marriage, young, male singles were more likely to form a family than old, female singles. Also, female singles, bereaved or divorced, were shown to have fear about marriage and negative attitudes toward marriage more than male, never-married singles did. Regarding the extent of happiness, old, female (rather than young, male) singles tended to be more satisfied with a single life. Besides, old, religious singles were less likely to feel lonely than young, unreligious singles. In addition, it appeared that college-graduated singles had rather liberal view on sex although singles generally showed rather conservative toward sex in this study. Therefore, the findings reveal that singles were self-centered, social, positive view on marriage, somewhat happy of a single life, and having a conservative attitude about sex. Further understanding of a single life in modem society is needed in future studies.

This study was conducted to examine housing preferences among single-person households and to propose guidelines for housing design choices for single people. One hundred and sixty responses to the questionnaire developed by this researcher were analyzed utilizing frequencies, percentages, and t-tests. There were significant differences between single households and non-single households in various aspects of housing preferences. Differences were found in the desired type and size of housing, needed amount of space, and the importance of space itself. Single persons wanted to live in a small apartment, about 83.45$m^2$ (25.29 pyung) size. They consider the bathroom and the master bedroom more important than the living room and kitchen. They prefer to have specifically function-oriented rooms such as shower, home office, computer room, exercise room, or leisure space. Single persons consider information-technological facilities within an apartment very important. They would like to adopt automatic and electronic technology in the house, such as optical communication network, automatic air-cleaning system, and internet TV. Housing preferences differ significantly according to socio-demographic variables such as gender and age. I propose in this study a small-sized, information-, high-tech- and leisure-oriented design that corresponds with the actual housing preferences of the single-person households.

A Corynebacterium diphtheriae iron-repressible gene dirA, that was homologous to TSA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and AhpC subunit of Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, was amplified with PCR and expressed in E. coli. The DirA purified from the transformed E. coli crude extracts prevented the inactivation of enzyme caused by metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) system containing thiols but not by ascorbate/Fe$^{3+}$/$O_2$ MCO system. The DirA concentration, which inhibited the inactivation of glutamine synthetase by 50% (IC$_{50}$) against MCO system, was 0.12 mg/ml. The multimeric forms of DirA were converted to the monomeric form in SDS-PAGE under the thioredoxin system comprised of NADPH, Saccharomyces cerevisiae thioredoxin reductase, and thioredoxin. Also, DirA showed thioredoxin dependent peroxidase activity. All of these results were consistent with the characteristics of a thiol specific antioxidant (TSA) protein having two conserved cysteine residues.

Newborn screening (NBS) is important if early intervention is effective in a disorder and if there are sensitive and specific biochemical markers to detect disorder. Methionine is a useful marker to detect abnormal methionine-homocysteine metabolism, especially homocystinuria which needs urgent medical intervention. However, hypermethioninemia could occur in other metabolic disorder including liver disease, tyrosinemia type I, methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) I/III deficiency, glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) deficiency, or adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase deficiency. However, experience with NBS for homocystinurias and methylation disorders is limited. Especially, MAT I/III deficiency which is the most common cause of persistent hypermethioninemia have two inheritance, autosomal recessive (AR) and autosomal dominant (AD), and their clinical manifestation is different between AR and AD. Here, author reviewed recent articles of guideline and proposed guideline for homocystinuria and methylation disorder.

노인 인구의 비율이 높아지면서 양적인 수명연장 뿐만 아니라 노후생활의 질적향상에 관심을 갖게 되었다. 삶의 질을 결정하는 데는 건강이 매우 중요하며, 특히 식생활은 노인건강에 간접적인 영향을 주는 인자로 작용하고 있다. 노인의 건강 생활에는 적절한 영양섭취가 필수적이며 이에는 여러 가지 환경요인이 작용하고 있다. 핵가족화가 급속히 진행되면서 노인 부부가구 및 독신가구가 점차 증가하고 있다. (중략)

현대 사회의 심화된 도시화ㆍ산업화는 독신 남녀와 핵가족, 노년층 인구의 증가를 가져왔고, 이러한 현상은 애완동물을 기르는 사람들의 수도 함께 증가시켰다. 또한 이들 중 상당수는 애완 동물을 가족의 일원으로 생각하며 이들에게 보통 이상의 관심과 정성을 기울이게 되었다. 즉, 현대 생활에 있어 애완 동물의 사육은 이전과는 그 의미와 방법에 있어 매우 다른 양상을 보이고 있으며 이에 따라 애완 동물, 특히 애견 관련 사업은 국내 시장 규모가 연 1조원에 달할 정도로 급속하게 성장하고 있다. (중략)
