For design of early childhood children's footwear, this study was to analyze the properties of their foot. This study was performed in 200 male and 200 female early childhood children from 3 and 6 years old lived in susan urban area. There were measured 17 items of the foot and calculated 4 indexs for analysis. The result was as follows; 1 The growth rate differs from the sites of a foot. According to the growth of age, early childhood children's foot are more slender. 2. The average of foot print angle is $15~27^{\circ}$ and it is flat. Among the age groups, the numbers of 4 kinds of foot print angle are different siginificantly. 3. The average of metatarso phalanx angle is $174~178^{\circ}$ that is higher than adults'. 4. There are no significant difference between male children's foot and female childen's one except tarsal circumference and tarsal height. Tarsal part of male children is higher and ticket than female children's. 5. Because some of 3~6 age groups belong to the one foot length group, we should consider the age properties of foot in order to design footwears. When the size of footwear is divided by only foot length, the ranges of another measurements are larger than the range of foot length.

From 1976 through 1986, authors have experienced 127 cases of peripheral vascular surgery which had been done in this department. There were 29 cases of atherosclerosis obliterances including 7 Leriche syndrome, 32 Buerger`s diseases, 25 arterial thromboembolisms, 21 vascular injuries, 2 peripheral arterial aneurysms, 2 renovascular hypertensions, 1 congenital A-V malformation, 13 varicose vein of lower extremities, and 2 Jugular venous ectasia. Cases with vena caval disease and aortic disease were excluded. The mean age of ASO and Buerger`s disease was 56.1 yrs, 33.8 yrs respectively. The male to female ratio showed marked male preponderance [27:2, and 30:2], and almost every male patient was smoker. The indication of operation was similar in both disease entities. The method of operation for ASO were bypass procedure [17], thromboendarterectomy [6], and lumbar sympathectomy [5], and for Buerger`s disease were mainly sympathectomy and few bypass procedures and amputations. Seventeen patients with ASO were followed from 3 to 75 month and overall patency rate for bypass or endarterectomy in one and two months and 2 1/2 yr were 93%, 87%, and 31% respectively. Post operatively patient`s symptoms was relieved or alleviated in almost ASO patients, and about 60% of Buerger`s disease. We concluded that in patient with ischemic limb, we must revascularized aggressively for symptomatic relief. And choice of graft for bypass procedure was to be evaluated further.

The author investigated the modified Broca's index that could be applied to Korean adults, what is called Korean Broca's Index, with 2322 apparently healthy subjects of 20-59 years old in order to obtain the index which could be used to estimate the standard body weight of Korean adults. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Linear regression equation of body weight to height was Y (weight in kg)=0.7195 X (height in cm)-57.9746 in male, and V (weight in kg)=0.4288 X (height in cm)-16.6528 in female. 2. Estimated constant that could be applied to Korean Broca's Index was 0.93 in male and 0.89 in female, and these sexual difference was statistically significant. (P<0.01)

This study was performed to investigate acoustic characteristics of sustained vowels produced by Seoul Korean speakers. For this study, three hundred nine healthy adults were chosen as participants from Korean Standard Speech Database. These subjects were divided into five chronological age groups (20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60-70s) and two gender groups (male and female). Fundamental frequency (f0), jitter, shimmer, and NHR (noise-to-harmonics ratio) was measured with 8 Korean vowels (/ɑ/, /æ/, /ʌ/, /e/, /o/, /u/, /ɯ/, /i/) by using Praat. The results showed that the vowel type significantly affected all acoustic parameters. Gender affected f0, jitter, and NHR significantly. The mean female speakers' f0 was greater than the males', and the mean jitter and NHR of male speakers was greater than the females'. Moreover, age affected shimmer and NHR significantly; in particular, the shimmer and NHR of elderly speakers was greater than the young speakers.

Cytological changes of the epithelial cells according to the developmenatal phases of the seminal vesicle related to the spermatogenic stages in the testicular lobules during spermagenesis in male Neptunea (Barbitonia) cumingii (Gastropoda: Buccinidae) were investigated monthly by electron microscopical and histological observations. N. (B) cumingii is dioecious, and an internal fertilization species. The male genital organ is located near the tentacles. The spermatozoon is approximatley $50{\mu}m$ in length. The axoneme of the tail flagellum consists of nine pairs of microtubles at the periphery and one pair at the center. The process of germ cell development during spermatogenesis can be divided into five succesive stages: (1) spermatogonia, (2) primary spermatocytes, (3) secondary spermatocytes, (4) spermatids, and (5) spermatozoa. A considerable amount of spermatozoa make their appearance in the testicular lobules (or acini) and some of them are tranported from the testis towards the seminal vesicles until late July. In this study, the developmental phases of the epithelial cells of the seminal vesicles of N. (B.) cumingii could be classified into four phases: (1) S-I phase (resting), (2) S-IIphase (early accumulating), (3) S-III phase (accumulating), and (4) S-IV phase (spent). However, in case of N. (B.) arthritica cumingii, the developmental phases of the seminal vesicle were devided into three phases: (1) resting, (2) accumulating and (3) spent. Granular bodies in the inner layer of the seminal vesicles are involved in resorption of digestion of residual spermatozoa.

The clinical features and treatment outcomes of 20 patients with Kimura's disease treated from 1981 to 1993 were analyzed to determine proper therapeutic modalities. The mean age was 36.3 yrs old (range l4-53yrs) and the male to female ratio was 1.5:1 (male:female=12:8). Among 20 patients, 13 had multiple lesions and the remaining 7 had single lesion. Almost all lesions were found in the head and neck area(41 lesions) and only 7 in the other sites. The initial treatment modalities were excision, excision with immunotherapy, radiotherapy with immunotherapy, or immunotherapy(steroid, azathioprine). Among 17 patients who could be followed up, a recurrent or persistent disease was found in 13 patients. The retreatment modalities for patients with recurrent lesions were excision, excision with immunotherapy, or immunotherapy. The retreatment outcomes were also disappointing. The proper therapeutic modality of the Kimura's disease is not established yet, but the radiotherapy after excision or immunotherapy seems to be more effective than others.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of clothing color and exposure on stereotype formation of female appearance. The subjects for the research survey were 418 male and female university students in Taejon, Korea. The measuring instruments were a self-administered questionnaire and six written scripts which described a woman wearing clothing manipulated by clothing color and exposure variables. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis, T-test, crosstabs analysis, ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple range test. The results of this study were as follows. First, three dimensions (global image, appearance inference, and appearance evaluation) emerged from the subject responses. Clothing exposure had the greatest impact upon the stereotype formation of female appearance. The woman wearing exposed clothing was rated as 'sexy', 'confident', and 'glamorous' whereas the same woman wearing unexposed clothing was rated as 'slim', 'humdrum', 'ladylike', and 'neat'. Second, the gender of the subject played a role in forming stereotypes of women's appearance. The male subjects rated the woman wearing exposed clothing as 'sexy' and 'glamorous' whereas the 1em81e subjects rated the same woman as 'slim' and 'pretty'. Third, the male subjects evaluated the woman wearing expend clothing in much more negative terms than the female subjects did, indicating that men tended to use 'modesty' to evaluate the woman whereas women tended to use 'fashion trend' in addition to 'modesty' as the important criteria when assessing women dressed in exposed clothing. Fourth, the subjects judged the woman wearing exposed clothing to be an entertainer or prostitute in her early 20s. On the other hand, the subjects judged the woman wearing unexposed clothing to be either a university student or a professional business women in her mid 20s.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate depression and activity of daily living of patients with rheumatoid arthritis by their gender. Methods: The subjects for this study were 184 patients registered in S University Hospital. and the period of data collection was from May 1, 2012 to August 20, 2012. The data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Pearson's correlation. Results: For depression, there were significant differences by marriage and religion in male patients and by education in female patients. For activity of daily living, there were significant differences by marriage, age and education in female patients. Depression was negatively correlated with activity of daily living in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: Managing depression and activity of daily living were important for both male and female patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To promote the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, nursing intervention strategies must be developed for decreasing depression or improving their activity of daily living.

Induction of regeneration and maturation of the free-living gametophytes of Saccharina japonica was studied at four temperatures (5, 10, 15 and $20^{\circ}C$), four levels of irradiance (5, 10, 20 and $40{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$) and three photoperiods (14 : 10, 12 : 12 and 10 : 14 h L : D). Female gametophyte fragments were maintained in active regeneration without reaching sexual maturity under conditions of $15^{\circ}C$, $20{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$, 10 : 14 h (L : D), whereas the conditions for male gametophytes were slightly different at $15^{\circ}C$, $5{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$, 14 : 10 h (L : D). The sexual maturation of female and male gametophytes took place under $5^{\circ}C$, $20{\sim}40{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$, 10 : 14 h (L : D) and $15^{\circ}C$, $40{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$, 10 : 14 h (L : D), respectively. These results provide basic information for controlling the regenerationand maturation of free-living gametophytes for strain improvement and cross breeding of S. japonica.
