The purpose of this study was to investigate physical condition, physical fitness, sociodemographic factors, biochemical factors and personality factors of 5th grade students of elementary school. The number of students surveyed was 760 from each school of urban, middle and rural areas. All data analysis was done by BMI group which is based on previous study. 1) The children whose parents were on low education level and mother had a job had lower BMI values than others. Nine percent of male and 21% of female subjects skipped breakfast almost everyday. The 21.7% of all subjects regularly took nutritive pills, which had no difference in various BMI groups. 2) The physical condition of children had a high correlation with that of parents. 3) The physical fitness in BMI 5 groups was weaker than other groups, especially in male. 4) The contents of blood hemoglobin, cholesterol and glucose and hematocrit value were estimated. In female, the values of hemoglobin content and hematocrit had significant difference between BMI groups, but there are no trends. 5) The impulsiveness of male was the highest in BMI 1 group and the lowest in BMI 5 group among 5 groups. Besides, general activity, reflectivity and sociality in BMI 5 group had a low level. In female, personality factors except sociality didn't show any considerable difference.

In health promotion program, the fear of gaining weight is often given as a reason for giving up smoking cessation by the participants. The purpose of this study is to compare drinking habit, exercise and BMI distribution according to smoking habits. The subjects of this study were 83 industrial workers in Gu-mi. Data collection was conducted from Sep. 18th to Sep. 24th 2000. The method was self-reported questionnaire survey, consisted of general characterisics, smoking habits and its relevant questions. The results are as follows : 1. Fifty-nine percents of the subjects were currently smoking. 2. Smoking habits were significantly related with drinking(p=.049). More smokers(81.6%) reported drinking habit than non-smokers(61.7%). 3. Forty-one point two percents of the non-smoker and 34.7% of the smoker perceived their body type as "fat". 4. The mean values of BMI were 22.0 in smokers with 1-9 cigarettes/day, 24.2 in 10-19 cigarettes/day smokers and 24.0 in smokers with over 20 cigarettes/day. There are no statistically significant differences in BMI among smoking habits. 5. BMI among different smoking habit groups was not significant different in age, drinking habit, exercise, and smoking habit.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of nutrition education by the difference of BMI(Body Mass Index) group for adults at rural area. Eighty four adults (mean age : 55.9$\pm$11.8) participated in nutrition education program. Data collection includes measured physical status and serum collections for health status. The impact of nutrition KAP (knowledge attitude and practice) and retention was examined among participants who were assessed at program entry, 3 times of education and 1 month of follow-up. The results were as follows: The participants were composed 14 persons of under 20kg/$m^2$ of BMI, 40 persons of 20-25 and 27 persons over 25 of BMI , female 60 persons but male 23 only. Serum albumin and calcium content of female(3.5$\pm$1.2g/㎗, 7.5$\pm$3.9mg/㎗) were significantly lower than males(4.7$\pm$0.9g/㎗, 11.2$\pm$4.6mg/㎗) but there was not significantly different with BMI groups. Serum TG and cholesterol contents of over 25kg/$m^2$ of BMI group(157$\pm$87mg/㎗, 249$\pm$16mg/㎗) were higher than other groups, but significantly different in cholesterol contents only. Via the 10 questions of nutrition attitude, the participants improved significantly between pre and post education(the score of pre, post and after 1 month, 6.5$\pm$1.8, 7.2$\pm$1.5, 7.2$\pm$1.9), and were also attributed to better personal feeling health by modified CMI test, but dietary food habit was not significantly improved. As the differences of BMI groups were compared, 20-25kg/$m^2$ group had better the effect of nutrition education score than other groups, and female had better nutrition attitude and practice score than male.

The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. In this study, the SE methodology is used to design a nondestructive inspection system for Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) nozzles. We developed a system that enables nondestructive inspection of BMI nozzles during regular refueling outage without removing the reactor internals. A special ultrasonic (UT) probe is introduced to scan and detect cracks within the weld region of the nozzle. A 3D model of the inspection structure system was developed along with the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and internals which permits a virtual 3D simulation of the operation to check the design concept and effectiveness of the system and to provide a good visualization of the system. This approach allows for a virtual walk through to verify the proposed BMI nozzle inspection system.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the validity of the BMI as an indicator of obesity for Koreans. The usefulness of the BMI to represent overweight and obesity was evaluated by measuring the relative validity of sensitivity and specificity, and was compared with the validity of triceps skinfold thickness(mm). To measure the relative validity of the BMI and triceps skinfold thickness, body fat(%) was used as a reference measure of obesity. The study population included 844 participants aged 20-69 years who resided in Kuri City in Kyunggi province. Participants were measured regarding weight, height, triceps skinfold thickness and body fat. The prevalence of obesity for male subjects was 32.0%, 66.2%, and 0.9%, and for female subjects, 17.6%, 56.1%, 12.4% based on the BMI, triceps skinfold thickness, and body fat(%) respectively. The prevalence of obesity was higher based on the BMI or triceps skinfold thickness than body fat measurement. The sensitivity and specificity of the BMI were 33.3% and 67.9% in male subjects and 77.7% and 90.8% in female subjects. Sensitivity of the BMI was lower, and specificity was higher than those of triceps skinfold thickness. In summary, BMI as an indicator of obesity for Korean showed a tendency of overestimation of obesity prevalence. Therefore, there is a need to develop a more reliable obesity index other than the BMI for Koreans.

목적: 아직까지 국내에서는 단지 비만 환자에 있어 수술 후 창상 합병증이 높을 것이라는 추측만 있을 뿐 정확히 체 질량 지수 값과 수술 후 창상 합병증과의 관계에 대해 조사된 바가 없다. 이에 대해 본원에서 위암으로 수술 받은 환자들을 대상으로 한국에서의 체 질량 지수 값과 수술 후 창상 합병증과의 관계에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 수술 후 창상 합병증은 2005년 9월부터 2006년 2월까지 서울아산병원에서 위암으로 수술 받은 772명의 환자들을 대상으로 하여 수술 전 과거력, 이학적 검사, 경과기록 등 의무 기록 등을 통해 후향적인 방법으로 조사하였다. 결과: 총 대상 환자는 772명이었으며 평균 나이는 $57.3{\pm}11.2$세였고, 성비는 남 : 여=1.82 : 1이었다. 수술 후 창상 합병증의 비율은 세 BMI 군간에 다르게 나타났다. BMI>$25\;kg/m^2$인 과 체중 환자 군에서 4.6%로, BMI<$20\;kg/m^2$인 저체중 환자 군과 $20M{\leq}BMI{\leq}25\;kg/m^2$인 정상 체중 환자 군의 0.9%, 1.6%보다 더 높게 나타났으며 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(P=0.038). 결론: 과체중인 환자(BMI>$25\;kg/m^2$)는 저 체중 및 정상 체중인 환자($BMI{\leq}25\;kg/m^2$) 보다 수술 후 창상 합병증의 비율은 높았고 이는 BMI와 수술 후 창상 합병증은 유의하게 관계가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Resveratrol has been reported to exert anticancer activity via modulation of multiple pathways and genes. In this study, we examined the effect of resveratrol on YD-10B human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and its molecular mechanisms of action. We found that resveratrol inhibited the proliferation of YD-10B cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The suppressive effect of resveratrol was accompanied by a reduction in Bmi-1 gene expression. We observed that silencing the Bmi-1 gene by small interfering RNA effectively downregulated the levels of GLUT1 mRNA and protein, which were also repressed by resveratrol. Bmi-1 silencing increased the number of YD-10B cells in S-phase arrest by approximately 2.3-fold compared with the control. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrate, for the first time, that resveratrol suppresses Bmi-1-mediated GLUT1 expression in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and suggest that the specific molecular targeting of Bmi-1 and/or GLUT1 expression can be combined with a chemotherapeutic strategy to improve the response of oral cancer cells to resveratrol.

Supposing that somatotype evaluation results would have significant differences between the public group with less amounts of exercises and the special group with intensive exercises for three to four times a day, this study aimed at comparing the mutual consistency between the results determined by somatotype evaluation tools such as visually calculated index(VCI), R$\ddot{o}$hrer's Index(RI) and Body Mass Index(BMI). The public, taekwondo players and judo players groups were composed of fifty persons, taekwondo players and judo players passed through VCI determination, respectively. Their height and weight were examined and analyzed with somatotype evaluation tools. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of RI and VCI showed that most women were determined by VCI as lean type but were determined by RI as normal type. And that women were determined by VCI as fat type but were determined by RI as normal type. Therefore both men and women showed significant differences in VCI and RI. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of VCI and BMI showed that both men and women were overestimated or underestimated by VCI rather than by BMI. Comparison of somatotype dispersion of RI and BMI showed that men were less determined by BMI as lean type compared with women; both men and women less determined by BMI rather than by RI as normal type; and both men and women, in particular, were more determined by BMI as fat type but men were more determined by BMI rather than by RI as fat type. Total somatotype consistency by tools showed that VCI has the greatest possibility of determining the public group, compared with other groups as lean type and that the consistency of the three tools were relatively higher for the taekwondo players and judo players groups, compared with the public.
