본 연구의 목적은 편측성 구순구개열 (UCLP) 환자에서 술전 비치조 정형장치 (presurgical nasoalveolar molding appliance, PNAM) 와 구순 봉합수술의 치조골 정형효과를 3차원 (3-D) 분석을 통하여 평가하는 것이다. 연구대상은 16명의 UCLP 환자 (평균 파열부거리: 10.46mm) 이며 PNAM 장치에 의한 치료와 rotation-advancement법에 의한 구순 봉합수술을 받았다 처음 내원시 (평균연령: $37.0{\pm}27.89$ 일), PNAM 치료를 받고 난 후이며 구순봉합수술 1달 전 (평균연령: $119.25{\pm}40.18$ 일), 구순봉합수술 2달 후 (평균연령: $190.81{\pm}42.78$ 일)에 상악의 인상을 채득하였다. 그 후 laser scanning machine (Orapix, Dimennex, Seoul, Korea) 과 3-D view software (3Dxer, Dimennex) 를 사용하여 3-D모형을 제작하였다. 선, 각도, 정중선변이, 거리, 면적 항목을 3-D 모형상에서 계측하고, 각 시기별의 차이를 비교하기 위하여 Wilcoxon signed rank test를 사용하여 분석하였다. PNAM치료 동안과 구순 봉합수술 후에도 치조골 후방부는 안정된 구조물이었다. PNAM치료에 의한 파열부 거리의 감소는 대분절 (greater segment) 의 내측 굴곡 (bending) 에 의하여 발생하였다. 대분절 (greater segment)의 전방 성장은 PNAM치료에 의하여 억제되었으나, 구순 봉합수술 후에 회복되었다. 구순 봉합수술 후에 대분절과 소분절 사이의 전방부 각도의 증가는 구순 반흔 (lip scar) 의 압력에 의한 치조골 정형 효과 때문으로 생각된다. 정중선변이는 PNAM치료에 의하여 개선되었다. PNAM치료 동안과 구순 봉합수술 후에 구개부 (palatal segment) 의 면적은 계속 증가하였다. 치조골 면적과 거리 항목의 증가는 후방부에서 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 PNAM치료에 의한 치조골 정형효과는 주로 전방부에서 발생하며, 치조골의 성장은 구순 봉합수술 후에 후방부에서 주로 발생한다는 것을 의미한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyzed the coordination of lower limb of elderly women who experienced a fall to present basic information for sports science and to deal with the factors that make elderly women fall more effectively. Twenty elderly women were divided into two groups of 10. The mechanisms of balancing lower limb during walk and differences were compared and analyzed using motion analysis and electromyography. The findings of this study are as follows. The first, walking patterns of these women were unstable as their hip joints did not provide sufficient support because of aging. Second, the left and right knee joints showed different walking patterns. The third, the motions of ankle joints became abnormal with increased age. As for the activation of major lower limb muscles, rectus fermois muscle and biceps fermois muscle contracted more to prevent the bending of knees and moved forward while anterior tibial muscle and inner gastrocnemius muscle were demanded highly during walk and the rate of plantar flexion was reduced.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of symptoms and signs of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and malocclusion in 10-12 year old children and to determine if a relationship exists between symptoms and signs of TMD and malocclusion. The subjects were composed of 465 school children (233 boys and 232 girls). Each subject was evaluated with simplified questionnaire and clinical examination to measure symptoms and signs of TMD and malocclusion. The results showed an elevated prevalence of headache (34.6%), which were more frequent in girls than boys. The most common cardinal sign of TMD was clicking (32.9%), which increased with age. TMJ lateral tenderness was present in 18.1% of the subjects and had a tendency to increase with age. Masseter muscle tenderness was found to be sensitive in 15.1%of the subjects and had a tendency to increase with age. Restriction of mandibular mobilitywas present in 30.3% of the subjects and had a tendency to increase with age. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of TMD signs between sex. The occlusal status showed Class I malocclusion in 73.3%, Class III in 12.9%,Class II division 1 in 11%, Class II division 2 in 2.8%. There was no significant difference in malocclusion traits between sex. There was statistically significant relationship between TMD signs and symptoms and class II division 1 and Class III malocclusion(p<0.05). The results indicate that the prevalence of TMD symptoms and signs in children is high, and the evaluation of TMD in children seems to be important.

The characteristics of mash qualities of takju prepared by addition of chestnut peel powder(5%, 10%, 20% and 30% per steamed rice) were investigated during fermentation. That is, in all fermentation periods, changes of pit total acid, organic acids, solids, amino nitrogen, total sugar and reducing sugar, microorganisms, alcohol and color were determined and analyzed. There was significant differences in characteristics of mash qualities by addition of chestnut peel powder. In general, contents of total acid, organic acids, amino nitrogen, total sugar, reducing sugar and ethanol of takju added with chestnut peel powder were lower than those of steamed rice only, whereas solid contents was higher. But ethanol content of takju added with 5% of chestnut peel powder after 8 days of fermentation was 9.6% which was similar to that of takju prepared by addition of steamed lice only. Also, microbial populations such as total viable cells, yeast and lactic acid bacteria of the treatments were increased to about $10^8CFU/mL$ after 2 days of fermentation and then decreased gradually. In the beginning stage of fermentation color differences value of the treatments were $1.99{\sim}10.27$, and the differentials reduced gradually during fermentation.

본고(本稿)에서는 고용구조조사(雇傭構造調査) 1986년 및 1992년 테이프를 활용하여 여성(女性)의 학력별(學歷別) 연령별(年齡別) 경제활동(經濟活動)및 실업(失業)과 취업구조(就業構造)에 대하여 분석하였는바, 여기서 확인된 우리나라 여성 고용문제는 크게 세가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 여성의 연령별 경제활동참가율이 중졸 이하 학력 여성의 경우 M자형(字型), 고졸 이상 학력 여성의 경우 단봉형(單峰型)으로 나타나 연령에 따라 큰 기복을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 여성 중에서도 고학력 고연령층(경제활동참가율과 고용률의 악화)과 저학력 저연령층(실업률의 증가)의 고용문제가 심화되고 있다. 셋째, 저학력 여성의 제조업(혹은 생산직) 취업이 고령화(高齡化)되고 서비스업 취업이 전통적 부문(도 매소 음식 숙박업)에 집중되고 있으며, 고학력 여성의 사회 개인서비스업, 관리 전문직, 파트타임 등에서의 취업이 활성화(活性化)되지 못하는 등 여성 취업구조(就業構造) 고도화(高度化)의 한계(限界)를 보이고 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 이렇게 실증적으로 확인된 문제점들이 결국 우리나라 여성 대부분이 '생애직업경력(生涯職業經歷)(lifetime job career)'을 가지지 못하는 제도적(制度的) 문제점(問題點)으로 귀시(歸蓍)되는 것에 주목하고 이러한 제도적 문제를 해소하기 위한 제도(制度) 개선(改善)의 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 여성 고용문제 해소를 위한 바람직한 '제도건설(制度建設)(institution building)'의 방향으로 본고에서는 (1)여성을 위한 고교 교육 및 직업훈련의 개편, (2)여성을 위한 전문대학 및 대학 교육의 개선, (3)여성을 위한 고용서비스의 강화, (4)출산 및 육아에 따른 여성 부담의 경감, (5)여성에 대한 고용주로서의 정부 역할 재정립 등을 강조하였다.

This paper empirically estimates the decision of aged workers related to the retirement decision. Using the supplemental survey for aged people of the Korean panel data set, the paper analyses the correlation between the retirement decision of middle-aged people (aged 50 years or older) and personal characteristics and job characteristics of main jobs that aged people had worked, particularly focusing on the mandatory job retirement regulation and its regulation of retirement ages. The empirical results show that the regulated retirement age is more important than the existence of mandatory retirement system in related to the workers' retirement decision.

Drawing on the organizational learning theory, we argue that international patenting allows firms to assess the potential value of their innovation in host countries and find out latent local competitors. The information obtained from international patenting enables firms to make refined innovations that facilitate export performance. However, structural inertia and old knowledge can impede learning from international patenting. Thus, we expect larger firms and older firms to display greater reluctance to use the knowledge obtained from international patenting. Our empirical analysis of Korean pharmaceutical companies from 1998 to 2010 shows that international patent application increases export intensity but firm size and age weaken the positive effect of international patenting on export performance.

A birth cohort approach to the Household life-cycle model could be an alternative to cross-sectional data. In this study, each residential mobilities of birth cohorts' is traced by the cohort data from repeated cross-section in the case of Jinju city. Because of the differences in fertilities by era, the volume of each cohort as a consumer in housing has varied and the condition of housing stock also has changed as the time goes by. These changes in housing make not only age effect stressed in Rossi's model, but also cohort and period effect. Due to theses effects of time, every residential mobility trajectories of generations' is different especially in earlier life stages. As households get older, it is found that the age effect reduces and the probability of residential mobility is lower. As this result, the residential succession and filtering between the earlier and latter generations is weakened and the residential segregation could be happened by birth cohort.

Purpose:We examined the ability of preschool aged children to meet the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Resiratory Society (ERS) goals for spirometry quality and tried to find out the major factor for improving the rate of success of spiromety test in this age group. Methods:Spirometry was performed in 2-6 aged 155 children with chronic cough or suspicious asthma with the recording of maneuver quality measures of forced expiratory time, end-of-test volume, back-extrapolated volume (Vbe), and forced vital capacity (FVC), as well as flow-volume curve. The subjects were tested several times and the two best results in each subject were selected. All criteria for quality control were suggested by ATS/ERS guidelines. The criteria for starting of the test was Vbe <80 mL and Vbe/FVC <12.5%. The criteria for repeatability of the test was that second highest FVC and FEV1 are within 100 ml or 10% of the highest value, whichever is greater. For the criteria for termination of the test for preschool aged children, we evaluated the flow-volume curve Results:As getting older, the success rate of spirometry increased and rapidly increased after 3 years old. Total success rate of the test was 59.4% (2 years old - 14.3%, 3 years old - 53.7%, 4 years old - 65.1%, 5 years old - 69.7%, 6 years old- 70.8%). The percentage of failure to meet the criteria for starting the test was 6.5%, repeatability of the test was 12.3% and end of the test was 31%. There was a significant difference only in age between success group and failure group. Evaluating the quality control criteria of previous studies, the success rate increased with age. Conclusion:About 60% of preschool aged children met ATS/ERS goals for spirometry test performance and the success rate was highly correlated with age. It is clearly needed that developing more feasible and suitable criteria for quality control of spirometry test in preschool aged children.

This study aimed to analyze the ten years cancer incidence based on diagnosis years 2000-2009, and to evaluate the quality of cancer registry in Daejeon City and Chungcheongnam-Do, Korea. Crude incidence rate and age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) in these two regions were compared, and validity of incidence data was assessed by three indicators; age unknown (Age UNK%), histological verification (HV%), and death certificate only (DCO%). Mortality/incidence ratio (M/I ratio) was used to evaluate completeness of incidence data. Incidence rate differences were assessed using Poission distribution and calculated their 95% confidence interval of ASR, and those by sex, age, and region were compared by incidence rate curve. As a result, the highest cancer site during 2000-2009 was stomach in both regions, and incidence prpportion were 18.8% in Daejeon, 21.5% in Chungnam. The overall cancer incidence was higher in males than in females, and ASR of total cancer in Daejeon increased 0.6% (from 322.1 to 323.9 per 100,000) for men and 60.3% (from 203.9 to 326.8) for women, that in Chungnam increased 14.3% (from 294.7 to 336.9) for men and 70.7% (from 156.5 to 267.1) for women. The Age UNK% during 2000-2009 were 0.0% in both regions. MV% for men was increased from 71.8% to 88.5% and that for women was increased from 78.1% to 93.2%. DCO% for men was decreased from 6.4% to 0.7% and that for women was decreased from 5.4% to 0.8%. M/I ratio was ranged from 15.3% to 62.1% and can be evaluated fairy good registration.
