Since the pharmaceutical industry is a research oriented sector, the research and development capability based on the qualified R&D manpower is one of the key success factors to strengthen the national competitiveness. Securing the appropriate number of researcher needed for the research activities in these fields is an important precondition for a government policy that aims for a strongly knowledge-intensive the pharmaceutical industry growth. In this study, we conducted and analyzed a delphi survey of the experts(the principal investigators) with expertise in these pharmaceutical research areas. The current and future requirements for the pharmaceutical science research personnel including medical doctors have been evaluated, extending the year 2017. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; First, in 2007 the field of pharmaceutical R&D personnel is currently under-supplied as many as about 5,600 people. The rate of under-supplied is about 18.1%. Second, in 2017 the evaluation shows that the R&D personnel in this field will be more severely under-supplied as many as 13,500 people. The rate of under-supplied will be about 28.6%. As a result, the confrontation of demand and supply evaluation shows that, in general, severe shortages of R&D manpower in the field of pharmaceutical will result if there are not adequate manpower policy adjustment.

The so-called borderline children are characterised by disturbances in the sense of reality and interpersonal relationships, lack of control, fluctuation of functioning, uneven development and excessive anxiety. But the concept of borderline disorder of childhood is very difficult to define and diagnose in current classification system. The present study adapted the consensus symptoms in borderline children by Bemporad and Vera eight cases aged 7-11 were examined in 37 variables. Results are as follows 1) All subjects are boys and girl hardly be diagnosis n current diagnostic system and have many concurrent diagnoses. Common chief complaints in the sense of reality. 2) In KEDI-WISC test, the borderline children showed average intelligence, but performance IQ tends to be higher than verbal IQ. In Rorscharch test, they showed high thought disorder index, emotional instabilities and aggressive impulses. The results of TOVA suggested attentional deficit in half of the subjects. The organicity is not prominent. 3) Many of the borderline children were unwanted baby. Although primary care takers of all the subjects were their mothers there were moderate problems in caring attitude of their children and marital relationship with their husband. Sccioeconomic status was generally below middle class. Most of all subjects have delayed language development, but have overcome subsequently. Many subjects were rejected by peers because of their aggression. 4) The first visit of the subjects was about 6 years of age. Average duration of treatment was 2 years. All of them were treated in the outpatient basis except one. The effect of pharmacotherapy was doubtful and the necessity of long term play therapy was suggested. Although there were many limitations of method in present study, it was suggested that further research is needed for diagnostic criteria, epidemiology and treatment.

In general cases, the conventional internet connected to a terrestrial network is transmit too large medical images. To overcome this low speed transmitting rate problem of the interned, we have studied about an image division communication system as a fast telemedicine system. The image division communication system was 5-10 times faster than the conventional terrestrial internet link. Also we have developed a Web-based telemedicine system that can access every permitted server of hospitals via the internet. Studied image division communication corrected problem of other reflex quality decline in erratic transmission of reflex by transmission speed imbalance that is problem of single communication techniques that used in existing reflex transmission. Also, could keep quality state of fixed reflex gouge abnormal transmission speed. Visual Basic and C++, ASP programming techniques were used to make our system and it can access and retrieve medical information and image through only public web browse such as internet explorer without additional specific tools. To increase the transmitting speed of our telemedicine system, JPEG method was used. In conclusion, we were able to develop a fast and public telemedicine system using the proposed image division communication system and Web technology. Image division communication system technology increased the speed of the conventional internet and Web technology extended the scope of use for telemedicine system from intrahospital to public use.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of growth hormone treatment (GHT) on craniofacial growth in children of short stature. Methods: Nineteen untreated children of short stature were referred from the Pediatric Department, Yeungnam University Hospital as a subject group. All subjects had lateral cephalograms taken before, after 1 year and after 2 years of growth hormone treatment. As a reference group, we selected 19 normal children with paired sampling who matched the subjects' age and sex, from the Department of Orthodontics, Kyungpook National University Hospital. Results: Before GHT, anterior cranial base length and upper posterior facial height, posterior total facial height, mandibular ramus length, and mandibular corpus length were significantly smaller in the reference group. In angular craniofacial measurements, saddle angle and mandibular plane angle were larger. SNA and SNB were smaller in the reference group. After two years of GHT, growth hormone accelerated growth in several craniofacial components. The posterior total facial height, the anterior, posterior cranial base length, and the mandibular ramus length were increased. And the difference in mandibular plane angle and ANB values compared with the reference group was decreased. Conclusions: GHT over 2 years leads to a craniofacial catch-up growth tendency, which is pronounced in interstitial cartilage and condylar cartilage.

This study was to designed to investigate the effects of nutrition education and exercise program for overweight or obese female adults, and also emphasize the necessity of a proper nutrition education. The anthropometric characteristics, nutritional intake, eating habit, and hematological index, physical examination were measured before and after program. Considering the time schedule of the subjects, the exercise program was divided into 3 sessions (morning, afternoon, and evening) and the subjects performed swimming and weight training for 4 weeks. The subjects were overweight or obese women, with an average age and height of each 46.1 and 156.3 cm. The weight and BMI were decreased significantly after nutrition education and exercise program. The back region of front arm (p<0.001), infrascapular region (p<0.001), body fat (p<0.001) were significantly decreased, and grasping power (p<0.01), back muscle power (p<0.001) were significantly increased after nutritional and exercise program. Total triglyceride level and fasting blood glucose (p<0.001) were decreased significantly after program. The intakes of vitamin D and vitamin $B_1$ were significantly changed after nutrition and exercise program. As for eating behavior and nutritional knowledge evaluation after program, the average score increased significantly (p<0.001). The results of this study show that this nutrition and exercise program can be an effective approach to improve their hematological index and nutritional and health status.

This paper examines the interplay among changes in socioeconomic conditions, population policies, and fertility decline during $1960{\sim}2000$ in South Korea. Period-parity-progression-ratios (PPPR) are calculated using 2% samples of Population Census with the implied distribution of completed family size. The total fertility rate based on PPPR declined from 5.21 in 1960 to 2.76 in 1980, and 1.69 in 2000. The family planning programs were successful in meeting the needs of families that wanted to prevent further childbearing after having achieved the desired family size during $1960{\sim}1970$. The 1980s mark two important landmarks: achievement of replacement fertility and emergence of high sex ratio at birth. In the 1990s the "quality and welfare" approach was emphasized. In 2000s, South Korea's fertility is one of the lowest in the world. In response to this, in 2005, the Government adopted a new population policy with the goal of increasing the total fertility level to 1.6 by 2010. The results of this study indicate that proportion of women who would have no children at all throughout their reproductive life span increased substantially from 10% in 1995 to 16% in 2000, with a sharp increase since 1997. Thus, pro-natal programs need to address the problems associated with marriage and having the first child. Towards that, it is important that work and family life become more compatible.

This study was executed to see the effects of Ca : K ratios in me.L$^{-1}$ -0:9, 1.5:7.5, 3:6, 4.5:4.5, 6:3 - in the nutrient solution on the photosynthesis, transpiration, growth and incidence of tipburn in butterhead ‘Omega’and Leaf ‘Grand Rapids’lettuce (Lactuca sativa. L) grown in nutrient film technique(NFT). The photosynthesis of both lettuces showed high in the Ca : K ratios of 3:6 and 4.5:4.5 regardless of species. But stomatal resistance of Grand Rapids was higher than that of Omega. The highest transpiration rate of them was shown in the Ca : K ratio of 3:6. The transpiration rate of developing leaves was lower than that of expanded leaves. It was seemed to have relation with incidence of tipbum in the developing leaves. The nutrient solution treatment without Ca developed less growth than that of other treatments, especially growth and development of apical part were inhibited, so that in the both of them incidence of tipburn appeared 100 percent. The incidence of tipburn in Omega appeared 25 percent in the Ca/K ratio of 1.5:7.5, but Grand Rapids did not show it according to the Ca/K ratio in nutrient solution. The highest growth in two species was also shown in the Ca/K ratio of 3:6 except nutrient solution without Ca. This study suggested that the unbalanced ratio of Ca/K affected Ca transport in two species because of the increase of stomatal resistance and diffusive resistance and the decrease of photosynthesis and transpiration.

TMA(Tissue Mineral Analysis) is very popular method in hair mineral analysis for health care professionals in over 48 countries medical center. Assesment of nutritional minerals and toxic elements in the hair is very important not only for determining adequacy, deficiencies and unbalance, but also for assessing their relative relationships in a body. In Korea, there are some problems in TMA method. Because of not haying a medical information database which is suitable for korean to do analyze, the requested TMA has to send to TEI-USA. However, as the TMA results from TEI-USA is composed of English documents and graphic files prohibited to open, its usability is very low and a lot of dollars has to be payed. Also, it can make some problems in the reliability of the TMA results, since the TMA results are based on the database of western health and mineral standards, To solve these problems, I developed the first Medical Information System of TMA in Korea here. The system can analyze the complex tissue mineral data with multiple stage decision tree classifier. It is also constructed with multiple fuzzy database and hence analyze the TMA data by fuzzy inference methods. The effectiveness test of this systems can be shown the increased business efficiency and satisfaction rate 86% and 92% respectively.
