Objective : The typical decline in function due to aging includes limitations in vision, hearing, cognitive function, and activities of daily living. Therefore, this study evaluated the mediating effect of cognitive function on the relationship between vision and hearing and activities of daily living. Methods : The participants in this study were 36,767 persons from the long-term care database on older adults provided by the National Health Insurance Sharing Service. The extracted variables were: (i) independent variables: visual and hearing; (ii) dependent variables: basic and instrumental daily living activities; and (iii) mediator variables: cognitive function. Regression analysis was performed evaluate the mediating effects of the extracted variables. Results : Cognitive function showed a mediating effect of 30% on the relationship between vision and basic daily life activities and 42% in the relationship with instrumental daily life activities. The mediating effect was 50% in the relationship between hearing and basic activities of daily living, and 53% in the relationship with instrumental activities of daily living. Conclusion : Prevention programs for functional decline due to aging are in progress in Korea. Based on the results of this study, establishing a prevention program would help promote successful aging.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive level of mild cognitive impaired elderly living in the community on participation in activities and social networks as well as leisure and daily life activities. Methods : The elderly people aged 65 years or older living in the community were selected for the mild cognitive impairment with a score of MMSE-K of 15 or more and 23 or less. MoCA-K was applied in order to examine the cognitive abilities of the subjects and K-ACS and LSNS-18 were applied to confirm the activity participation level and social network index. Results : As a result of examining the relationship between cognition and activity participation, various sub-abilities(spatio-temporal abilities, vocabulary abilities, attention, abstract thinking) of cognition had a significant influence on instrumental activities of daily living, leisure activities and social activities. In addition, all of the sub - abilities of cognition showed a significant correlation with sub-elements of social network. Conclusion : Through this study, it was found that the general elements of cognition influenced activity participation and social network of various areas of mild cognitive impaired elderly people. We suggest that measures for enhancing participation and social participation of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment are provided through follow up studies.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compensatory changes of occlusal plane angle in relation to skeletal factors. Lateral cephalograms of 61 adults with normal occlusion and 92 adults with skeletal malocclusions were traced and measured to analyze skeletal factors and occlusal plane angles. In terms of horizontal relationships, the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group were classified Into subgroups of skeletal Classes I, II, and III, while in terms of vertical relationships, each group was also classified into horizontal , average, and vertical subgroups. Some measurements were evaluated statistically by ANOVA and Post Hoc, and the others were reviewed by Paired t-tests. In this study, only the occlusal plane angle to AB plane did not show a significant difference between the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group. After treatment, the occlusal plane angle to the AB plane of the malocclusion group was approximated to that of normal occlusion group. The LOP to AB plane angle of the normal occlusion group was 91.7 in skeletal Class I, 88.8 in skeletal Class II, and 93.5 in skeletal Class III. This study was done to assess the treatment changes of the occlusal plane in the malocclusion group, and to draw a comparison with the normal occlusion group in order to present a reference to establish a new occlusal plane inclination.

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of rejection sensitivity and relationship addiction in the relationship between abandonment anxiety and psychological dating violence. For this purpose, data of 400 adult were collected and analyzed, and the structural equations were used to verify them. The measurement tools were the Abandonment Anxiety Scale, the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire Scale, Relationship Addiction Questionnaire-30 and Psychological Dating Violence Scale, which were the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales-2 and Appraisal of Partner Control Scale. The results of the study are as follows: First, there was a significant corelation among abandonment anxiety, rejection sensitivity, relationship addiction, and psychological dating violence. Second, there was no direct effect on the relationship between abandonment anxiety and psychological dating violence, but it had an effect on psychological dating violence by double mediating rejection sensitivity and relationship addiction. Based on these results, we confirmed the psychological path that abandonment anxiety affects psychological dating violence, and discussed the need for therapeutic intervention and educational approach in negative interpersonal patterns that are not visible.

Purpose: To report our experience of gastrointestinal operations performed in neonates including low birth weight infants and to evaluate their clinical characteristics. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent neonatal gastrointestinal surgery or had necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or inguinal hernia from January 2008 to December 2010 at Pusan National University School of Medicine. Results: The main disease was anorectal malformation and male patients were dominant. Twenty four patients (19.2%) had one or more associated anomalies including hydronephrosis and congenital heart disease. Eighteen patients (43.9%) of anorectal malformation had other anomalies. Seventy six percent of NEC cases were very low birth weight infants. Concerning mean days of full enteral feeding after operation, NEC patients needed 30.8 days, which was the longest period. Overall mortality of operation (except NEC and inguinal hernia operation) was 1.6%. The mortality of NEC with surgical treatment was 18.8%. The direct bilirubin in the operation group was significant higher than in the non-operation group in NEC patients. Conclusion: The morbidity and mortality after neonatal gastrointestinal surgery were excellent. The direct bilirubin in the operation group was significant higher than in the non-operation group in NEC.

As one of the variations in growth and development of the craniofacial complex. malocclusion shows lack of concordance In the recognition and severity of malocclusion for dentists as well as the acceptance and need of orthodontic treatment for the patient The purposes of this study were 1) to examine the relationships between objective malocclusion severity aid subjective treatment difficulty. 2) to evaluate the effect of malocclusion components to the subjective perceived difficulty of treatment. 3) to establish the weighted values of malocclusion components to reflect the treatment difficulty 100 pairs of dental casts with the general characteristics of malocclusion. were selected from the orthodontic departments of Kyunghee University and Samsuug Medical Center. The severity of malocclusion was evaluated by the author with the PAR index The perceived treatment difficulty and the estimated treatment duration on these dental models were evaluated by 8 experienced orthodontists. The relationships between the objective malocclusion severity and the subjective treatment difficulty were statistically evaluated. and the weighted values of malocclusion components to reflect treatment difficulty were statistically formulated. There were significant relationships between objective malocclusion severity and subjective treatment difficulty The malocclusion components which significantly affected the treatment difficulty and their weighted values in parentheses were as follows upper anterior alignment(1). overbite (2). buccal occlusion (3) middline (4), and overjet (5). This study Provides the fundamental principle to evaluate the objective malocclusion severity which is reflected by the subjective treatment difficulty of Korean orthodontists.

This study aims to investigate the effect of husbands' emotional abuse on wives' depression and mediating effects of marital adjustment and coping. The subject of this study is wives of men who had completed batterer intervention programs at domestic violence counselling centers. In order to investigate the effect of emotional abuse, among the 116 questionnaires collected by wives the cases in which physical violence was reported were excluded. Ultimately, a total of 77 cases were analyzed using the Partial Least Square method of structural equation model methodology. The key findings from this study are as follows. First, the wives in this study showed a high rate of exposure to emotional abuse by their husbands although the physical violence was gone. Second, emotional abuse by husbands significantly affected depression on their wives. Third, marital adjustment was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between the emotional abuse and the depression. Fourth, a mediating effect from passive coping was revealed; in particular, avoiding was the most powerful factor explaining the relationship between the emotional abuse and the depression. However, active coping failed to mediate the relationship between the emotional abuse and the depression.

임상 결과의 측정에서 새로운 관점을 갖는 것은 중요하다. 의료 재활은 심리적 측정의 질들(표준화, 신뢰도, 타당도)에서 충분한 노력에 수행되어지지 않아 왔기 때문에 환자와 프로그램 사이에 일반화된 기능적인 평가 범위가 부족하다. 장애의 적절한 측정을 위한 요구는 기능적인 상태에서 변화들을 알리고 치료의 필요성을 평가하고 치료를 계획하고 결과를 예측하고 보상 방법을 측정하기 위한 환자의 치료와 임상 연구에서 모두 나타난다. 세계적으로 사용되어지고 있는 기능 평가 도구인 FIM으로부터 이 연구는 신체적 측정의 기대되어진 것에 유사한 비율로 기능적 평가 측정들을 구성한다. 노인 재활에서 기능적인 결과의 측정은 중요한 몇 가지 점이 있다. 첫째는 접근에 기초한 기능적인 결과는 치료 목표 설정에 필요하다. 둘째는 도구는 기능적인 향상을 예상하는데 유용해야 한다. 셋째는 기능 평가는 적절한 타당도와 신뢰도와 함께 고려되어져야만 한다. 넷째는 다른 기능적 도구들이 함께 평가되어져야 할 필요가 있다는 것이다. FIM의 목록의 어려운 접들은 손상을 입은 집단에서는 다소 다양하다. 가장 중요한 부분이기 때문에 하나의 운동범위는 요통과 화상을 입은 환자를 제외한 모든 손상을 입은 집단들에게 적용되어 질 수 있다. 기능의 운동과 인지적인 면은 구분되어지는 것이 중요하였고 분리되어져서 치료되어 졌다. 어려운 목록들은 손상을 입은 집단에서 다양하였고, 다양한 손상의 종류의 독특한 영향을 반영하였다. FIM은 기능적인 장애를 측정하기 위해 고안되어진 또 다른 도구이다. 그리고 다른 것들은 의료 재활을 위한 국제적 자료 체계를 만들기 위한 것이다. FIM의 목적은 의료 재활의 결과를 확인하고 장애의 정도의 측정을 포함한다. FIM은 7가지 수준에서 사회적 인지, 의사 소통, 이동, 움직임 (mobility), 소변 관리, 자조 활동을 평가한다. 범위는 총체적 도움의 비율로부터 완전하게 독립적인 것까지의 범위이고 도움, 감독, 도구의 사용의 범위를 고려한다. 27,009의 환자를 조사한 최근 검사 기록들은 FIM이 움직임(motor)과 인지 기능을 평가하는 것이라는 것을 보여준다(Hinemann, 1993). FIM의 저자들은 자료가 프로그램 평가의 시도에서 즉각적으로 적용 할 수 있기를 기대한다. FSI은 어떤 과제의 수행에서 어려움에 관계된 정보를 제공하는 것을 나타내고 과제를 수행하기 위한 환자를 위한 변경된 전략들을 발달시키기 위해 노력하는 임상가들에게 유용할 수 있다. 두 도구 모두는 전통적인 범위들보다 고관절 골절을 동반한 장애의 좀더 정확한 정보를 모으도록 할 수 있다. 고찰된 모든 연구의 결과들은 골절 후에 남아 있는 잔여 장애의 중요한 수준을 강조한다. 골절 전의 보행으로 회복된 사람은 매우 드물었다. 대부분은 기본적인 움직임 혹은 옷입기, 개인 위생에 관계된 활동들에서 의존적이었다. 많은 사람들은 사회에서 활동을 할 수 없었다. 장애의 적절한 측정의 요구는 환자 치료와 기능적인 상태에서 변화를 알고 치료의 요구도를 측정하고 치료를 계획하고 결과를 예상하고 보상 수단을 결정하는 임상적 연구에서 모두 나타난다. 물리치료 분야는 분야의 다른 영역에서 기능적인 결과를 충족시키고 발달시키는 것이 필요하다.
