This study explored the longitudinal relationships between school life adjustment and the parents' neglect/abuse as perceived by children according to gender. The participants were 5th and 6th grade children and the instruments were parents' neglect/abuse scale and school life adjustment scale. Using Korea Youth Panel data of Child Youth Policy Institute of Korea, 5th and 6th grade data were analyzed. The results were as follows: Neglect/abuse as perceived by children were different according to their gender and grade. Children who had perceived more parents' neglect/abuse were more likely to have difficulty in school life adjustment. The results of this study suggest that the appropriate interventions for the parents' neglect and abuse is needed by showing the stability of the child's perception of the parents' neglect and abuse during the 5th-6th grade.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine treatment on a patient with vascular dementia caused by an intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine (modified Guibi-tang) and acupuncture. The effects of these treatments were evaluated using the Korean Mini Mental Status Examination (K-MMSE-2), Cognitive Dementia Rating (CDR), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI), and Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS). Results: After treatment, the K-MMSE-2 score, CDR score, MMT, K-MBI, and VFSS improved.

This case report shows the effect of Korean medicine treatment in a patient with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after cerebral infarction who is suspected of having post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) due to the loss of thrombus after receiving new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) treatment. The patient was treated with Korean medicine (Boyanghwano-tang and Hyulbuchuko-tang) three times a day. Acupuncture, moxibustion, infrared, and extra-physical therapy were given to the patient for 24 days. Clinical assessment - grading of edema and circumference of the left lower extremity were observed twice a week until the end of the treatment. NOAC treatment was continued for 24 days. After treatment, the patient's edema grade and circumference of the extremity improved. On the 24th day, the patient's chief complaints improved, and she requested termination of treatment. The results suggest that Korean medicine treatments, including Boyanghwano-tang, Hyulbuchuko-tang, and acupuncture therapy, can be effective in improving the clinical symptoms of DVT and PTS.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the effects of traditional Korean medical treatment on a patient with asthma. Methods: The patient (female, 88) was treated with herbal medicine (Sojaganggi-tang), acupuncture, and moxibustion. The effects of these treatments were evaluated using the Modified Borg Scale (MBS) and Quality of Life Questionnaire for Adult Korean Asthmatics (QLQAKA). Results: Following treatment, the MBS score decreased from 7 to 4, and the QLQAKA score increased from 45 to 57. Conclusion: The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine can effectively treat patients with asthma.

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of Korean medicine in a patient who suffered from unspecified arthritis with fever of unknown origin. Methods: A patient was treated with herbal medicine for 12 weeks. The clinical improvements were evaluated by body temperature, blood test (CBC-diffcount, CRP, ESR, etc.) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: Improvements in body temperature, blood tests and clinical symptoms were observed after Korean medicine treatments. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment may be an effective treatment for unspecified arthritis with fever of unknown origin.

The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Korean medicine on a patient who experienced headaches and nausea after post-concussion syndrome. The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Oryung-san, Hwangryunhaedok-tang-tablet) and acupuncture for four weeks. As a result, the pain degree compared to the day of hospitalization of headache and nausea and pain rating score of headache decreased after treatment. Therefore, this case is useful for describing Korean medicine treatment for headache and nausea after post-concussion syndrome, and further case reports and studies will be needed in the future.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Brassica rapa (BR) sprouts on weight reduction and cholesterol-lowering action in rats fed high fat diet for 4 weeks. Weight-matched male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups according to dietary fat levels (10% or 20% of diet wt.). Experimental groups were normal diet group (N), high fat diet group (HF), high fat diet with 5% BR sprouts powder group (HF-BRL), and high fat diet with 10% BR sprouts powder group (HF-BRH). The body weight gain was increased in HF group, but gradually decreased to the corresponding level of the N group fed BR sprouts powder. The concentrations of serum LDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index and cardiac risk factor tended to decrease in the BR sprouts powder fed groups compared with the HF group. However, HDL-cholesterol concentration in serum decreased in the HF group and markedly increased in the BR sprouts powder fed groups. Concentrations of triglyceride and total cholesterol in liver were also markedly decreased in the BR sprouts powder fed groups. Triglyceride concentrations of epididymal and mesenteric adipose tissues in the BR sprouts powder fed groups were also decreased compared with the HF group. These results indicate that BR sprouts powder may reduce fat accumulation and body weight, and have cholesterol-lowering effect.

The effect of addition of fractionated milk fats on the composition and melting behavior of cocoa butter was investigated. High melting fraction (HMF) of milk fat fractions had the highest contents of long chain fatty acid $(C16{\sim}C18)$ and saturated fatty acid followed by medium melting fraction 1 (MMF1), medium melting fraction 2 (MMF2), anhydrous milk fat (AMF), and low melting fraction (LMF) in a decreasing order. MMF2 had the highest contents of the short chain fatty acid $(C4{\sim}C10)$ and medium chain fatty acid $(C12{\sim}C14)$ followed by AMF, HMF, MMF1, and LMF in a decreasing order. When the fractionated milk fats were added to cocoa butter, the long chain fatty acid contents increased with increasing the ratio of fractionated milk fats. The saturated fatty acid contents decreased only when the LMF was added. The higher content of long chain triglyceride and the lower contents of short chain triglyceride and medium chain triglyceride were obtained from the fractionated milk fat of higher melting point. When the fractionated milk fats were added to cocoa butter, long chain triglyceride contents decreased with increasing the ratio of the fractionated milk fats. The melting points of cocoa butter, AMF, HMF, MMF1, MMF2, LMF were $33.3^{\circ}C,\;31.2^{\circ}C,\;40.6^{\circ}C,\;37.4^{\circ}C,\;33.5^{\circ}C$, and $6.5^{\circ}C$, respectively. Cocoa butter had the highest content of solid fat followed by HMF, MMF1, MMF2, AMF, and LMF in a decreasing order. When the fractionated milk fat was added to cocoa butter at various temperatures, the solid fat content in the mixture of fractionated milk fat and cocoa butter decreased with increasing the ratio of fractionated milk fat. This results suggested that anhydrous milk fat and fractionated milk fats had a good compatibility with cocoa butter.
