Purpose: This study was to investigate depression prevalence and related factors of depression in Jeju Province. Methods: The study sample selected using randomized cluster sampling method, and the unit of cluster was 25 households. Data were collected from 1275 adults in 723 households through home visit interview. The response rate was 89.4%. The instrument used for measuring depression was CES-D, the cut-off score was 21. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of depression in Jeju was 18.1%. The significant differences were found with depression prevalence rate by the group of gender, age, inhabited area, marital status, educational status, monthly household income, life satisfaction, socioeconomic status, perceived health status, morbidity during last 2 weeks, perceived stress, perceived fatigue, participation in social activities, and family life satisfaction. The most predictive factors among those variables were perceived fatigue with 17.93 of odds ratio, family life satisfaction with 9.86 odds ratio, and perceived stress with 9.66 of odds ratio. Conclusion: The prevention and management of depression program development was suggested and mental health promotion program for the prevention of depression was suggested.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate stress, depression and health risk behaviors in elderly people. Methods: The subjects were 238 Korean elders who had visited the convalescent center. The level of stress was measured by the Korean version of BEPSI, which was developed by Bae, Jeung & Yoo (1992) and modified by Yim et al.(1996). CES-D was used to measure the level of depression. For health risk behaviors, we measured cigarette consumption and alcohol drinking during the last one month. Results: Of the subjects, 17.4% were excessive drinkers and 18.9% were currently smokers. The level of stress was between moderate and high, and 62.7% of the subjects were depressed. There were significant differences in stress and depression according to economic status and self-reported health. In addition, depression had positive correlations with stress and QF score. Conclusion: Stress and depression management programs for the elderly are needed. These findings indicate that nurses must consider stress and alcohol drinking when they take care of depressed elderly people.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the physical activities of vulnerable low-income middle-aged people and their associated factors. Methods: From a health behavior survey of 1,000 vulnerable low-income subjects from a public health center in a metropolitan city, a secondary analysis was conducted for 332 respondents who ranged in age from 40 to 64. Results: The prevalence of walking activity was 45.2% and that of moderately intense physical activity was 9.9%. Prevalence of walking activity showed a significant association with marital status (divorce/widowed/separated, OR=2.263), drinking (drinker, OR=0.430), and CES-D score (over 21, OR=0.434). Prevalence of moderately intense physical activity was greater in subjects who had two chronic diseases, compared with those who had no chronic diseases (OR=3.713). Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest a need for implementation of strategies to improve moderately intense physical activity of low-income, middle-aged people. Also, in addition to studies on socio-demographic and health status and their associations with physical activity, further studies of related factors affecting physical activity, such as self-efficacy, social support, and social networks as internal and external resources, are needed.

Partition chromatography의 방법(方法)으로는 우선 cellulose powder colume을 시도해 보았으나 이는 얻어진 fraction의 용매제거의 난점(難點)이 있으므로 결국(結局) paper chromatography 방법(方法)만을 사용(使用)하였다. 연구결과(硏究結果)로는 우선 갈색색소의 fraction에 있어서 발효초기(醱酵初期)에 약간의 활성(活性)을 관찰(觀察)할수 있었으며 glycine이 함유된 fraction 에서는 발효초기에 벌써 상당한 활성을 보였으며 이는 또한 발효의 진행(進行)에 따라 점차 증가되었다. 그리고 N-glycoside의 fraction에서는 발효초기에 미약(微弱)한 활성(活性)을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 paper chromatography의 방법(方法)은 본실험(本實驗)에 적합하지 않다고 생각되며 그 이유(理由)는 일회(一回)에 fractionation 할수있는 시료(試料)의 양(量)이 극(極)히 제한되어 있다는 점(點)과 또 fractionation 도중에 타물질(他物質)의 오염으로 인(因)해서 시료(試料)의 정확(正確)한 발효 활성(活性)을 측정(測定)할수 없다는 것이다.

본(本) 실험(實驗)에 사용(使用)된 Gel로는 Sephadex G-200, G-100과 G-75로써 fractionation은 대체(大體)로 호조건에서 이루어 졌다. G-200과 G-100의 경우에 있어서는 갈색색소의 분자크기가 서로 다른 2개(個)의 Peak를 얻을 수 있었고 Colume에 투입된 시료(試料)는 완전(完全)히 회수(回收)되었다. G-75의 경우에는 갈색색소와 분자 크기가 작은 다른 물질(物質)과를 분리(分離)할 수 있었으나 약간의 시료(試料)는 Gel에 흡착되어 완전(完全)히 회수(回收)할 수 없었다. 발효실험의 결과를 종합해 보면 우선 갈색색소를 함유하늘 모든 fraction은 발효초기에 활성(活性)을 보이며 분자크기가 작은 물질의 구획(區劃)에서는 강하고도 점증되는 활성(活性)을 관찰할 수 있었다. Sephadex Gel에 의(依)한 fractionation은 첫째로 작업(作業)도중에 시료(試料)의 변질현상(變質現象)이 없다는 것과 둘째로 갈색색소를 그들의 분자크기에 따라 분획(分劃)할 수 있다는 이점(利點)들이 있다.

In this report, we describe the successful use of alternate rapid maxillary expansions and constrictions with a hybrid hyrax-mandibular miniplate combination and simultaneous orthodontic treatment for the management of severe Class III malocclusion due to maxillary hypoplasia in an 11-year-old girl. The devices were removed after 20 months of treatment, and the family was instructed about a careful control and retention program that should be followed in accordance with the patient's growth. The final result included the correction of Class III malocclusion with adequate function and excellent facial esthetics, which restored the patient's self-esteem and provided personal motivation. The outcomes showed good stability after 24 months of retention. The decrease in the duration of active treatment is the most important finding from the present case. Considering that facial esthetics in adolescence is a determining factor for the development of a personality and interpersonal relationships, we recommend the use of this protocol for growing patients, who will exhibit not only an improved physical appearance but also a better quality of life.

This study was to identify the effects of home visit intervention program for Holistic Healthcare of multi-culture Couples. It used a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design quasi-experimental research. The subjects of this study consist of 20 couples for experimental and control groups. Multi-cultural couples comprised of foreign women married to Korean men in farm and fishery areas. The research tools were used stress index by SA-3000P (Medicare co. Ltd. KOREA), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref). The experimental group of the wives had lower stress index than the control group, the experimental group of the husband showed lower stress index than the control group, (t=-3.14, p=.002). The wife (t=-3.75, p=.001) and husband (t=-4.20, p=.001) of the experimental group showed lower depression scores than the control group. Both the wife (t=3.86, p=.001) and husband (t=5.28, p=.001) showed higher scores for quality of life compared to the control group. It was found that this holistic healthcare home visit program is an effective program to make improvements on stress, depression and quality of life for multi-cultural couples. Therefore, as the intervention program developed in this study is home visits for the holistic health of multi-cultural couples, and it is judged that it can be implemented at the local social health centers or healthcare centers.
