With the improvement of current medicine, the number of the chronicly ill children are increasing. The illness of the child drives all of the family to despair. especially it is a burden on the mother who takes care of the ill child. She's faced with many emergencies and feels powerless. The home care for a child is for finding a child's problems early and mediating them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mother's reaction following their chronicly ill child's discharge and to investigate the supporting needs for caring for an ill child. The subjects of this study were mothers with a chronicly ill child being discharged from a general hospital in Seoul and the data was collected from July 20 to September 30. Data was collected by using questionnaires which were developed by the researcher. (The questionnaires were composed of the average 5 points - Likert's method). The Mother's reaction means that the higher the score, the more negative the mother's thoughts about discharge are. Supporting need for caring for ill an child means that the higher the score, the higher the demand of nursing is. The statistical analysis used the SPSS program for t-test. ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The mother's reaction scores following discharge were the lowest. 19 and the highest 72 so that the total average was 43.15. The answer, 'I worry that my baby will be troubled with illness again after discharge gained the high points (3.94 of 5 points). The answer. 'The discharge of my baby makes me gloomy' gained 2.05-it was the lowest points. Their were significant differences according to religion (p=.006). salary (p=.050). the burden of the medical fee (p = .005) and caregiver (p=.027). 2. Supporting Need for caring for ill an child was the lowest 15 and the highest 67. the total average was 47.87. The answer. 'I'd be glad to get a person whom I could always get counsel about the health of my baby with' scored the high point (average 4.04 of 5). The answer. 'Caring for my baby at home makes me exhausted' gained the lowest point. 2.49. Their were significant differences according to religion (p=.019) and diagnosis (p=.019). 3. The relationship between the reaction of the mother and supporting need for caring for an ill child was a positive correlation (r=0.585). In conclusion. this study revealed that mothers weren't positive about their chronicly ill child's discharge and they wanted to get support for caring for an ill child. Through this study. I proposed that the program to support the chronicly ill child at home and home care by continuous counselling after discharge should be develop.

Ameloblastoma, a benign tumor of odontogenic type, represents 10% of all tumors of the jaw. It is localized in the mandible(80%) and in the maxilla(20%). In every case, the selection of the surgical treatment must consider some fundamental elements, including the age and general state of health the clinicopathological variant, and the localization and extent of the tumor. This study was invested the clinicopathological findings of 23 patients with ameloblastoma which had been diagnosed by biopsy during the period of 1987 to 2005 at Chonnam National University Hospital. And it contained the statistical analysis according to the treatment methods and the clinicopathological findings such as sex, age, location, chief complaints, duration, radiographic findings, histologic findings, treatment methods. The results obtained are were follows. The age of patient ranged from 10 to 91 years(means, 35.9 years) at biopsy. Thirteen(57%) of the 23 subjects were males, and 10(43%) were females. Twenty(87%) of the 23 ameloblastomas were located in the mandible. Swelling was the most common symptom and was experienced by 20(87%) patients. Radiographically, 11(48%) of the 23 tumors were unilocular with a well-demarcated border and 12(52%) were multilocular. The most common histologic pattern was plexiform and acanthomatous rather then follicular. Conservative treatment was performed 7 cases(30%), radical treatment 11 cases(48%), and combined treatment 5 cases(22%). Follow-up period ranged from 2.1 years to 22 years(mean 5.1 years). Based on the above results, surgical excision after marsupialization was found to be useful as a preliminary treatment of the large cystic ameloblastoma in children and adolescents. On the contrary, the lesion with a soap bubble appearance, the one with ineffective marsupialization was subjected to extensive excision of the tumor with a wide margin of normal bone.

Objectives : The region of chromosome 5p14 is known to be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The cadherin9 (CDH9) and cadherin10 (CDH10) genes are located in the region of chromosome 5p14 and reported to be associated with ASD in the Caucasian population. We performed an association study to identify if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on the CDH9 and CDH10 genes are associated in the Korean population. Methods : Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of 214 patients with ASD and 258 controls. SNPs selected from two genes were genotyped using an Illumina Golden-Gate Genotyping assay with VeraCode technology. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS and Plink software. Results : All controls and ASD patients were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In the results of logistic regression analyses for the genotype model and the chi-square test for the allele model, we found that SNPs on the CDH9 and CDH10 genes were not associated with ASD. Conclusion : Our data suggests that the CDH9 and CDH10 genes are not associated with ASD in the Korean population.

Background: Ginseng is a commonly used herbal medicine in treating various medical conditions. Chronic gut inflammation is a recognized factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this project, Asian ginseng berry polysaccharide preparations were used to assess their effects on CRC and related immune regulation mechanisms. Methods: Ginseng berry polysaccharide extract (GBPE) and purified ginseng berry polysaccharide portion (GBPP) were used to evaluate their activities on human HCT-116 and HT-29 CRC cell proliferation. Interleukin-8 secretion analysis was performed on HT-29 cells. Naive CD4 cell isolation and T-helper cell differentiation were performed and determined using flow cytometry for Th1 and Treg in addition to cell cycle and apoptotic investigation. Results: GBPE and GBPP significantly inhibited interleukin-8 secretion and cancer cell proliferation, inhibited CD4⁺IFN-γ⁺ cell (Th1) differentiation, and decreased CD4⁺FoxP3⁺ cell (Treg) differentiation. Compared to the GBPE, GBPP showed more potent antiinflammatory activities on the malignant cells. This is consistent with the observation that GBPP can also inhibit Th1-cell differentiation better, suggesting that it has an important role in antiinflammation, whereas Treg cells hinder the body's immune response against malignancies. Supported by cell cycle and apoptosis data, GBPE and GBPP, at various degrees, remarkably enhanced the anticancer activities of 5-fluorouracil. Conclusion: Data from this project suggested that Asian ginseng berry potentially has clinical utility in managing enteric inflammation and suppressing CRC through immunomodulation mechanisms.

Objectives : To gather information about the factors which influence the interest and intention of admission into charging nursing hones for the elderly(CNH), as these homes represent an important method for resolving the problems related to the rapid population aging occurring in Korea. Methods : A face-to-face interview survey was carried out with 320(men 159, women 165) patients over 60 years old who were admitted at 2 university hospitals and 5 general hospitals in the Busan area between December 1998 and March 1999. Data were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA, correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results : The mean age and years of education of the study population was 67.0 and 7.7 years, and the types of chronic degenerative disease included musculoskeletal disorders(20.1%), cerebrovascular disease(17.1%), and diabetes(14.3%). The major forms of household living arrangement prior to admission were elderly alone(22.6%), and elderly couple(33.5%), while about half of them(55.5%) didn't want to live with their children id the future. Almost half were paying medication fees by themselves(46.6%). The level of actual intention of admission$(3.07{\pm}1.39)$ into a CNH was lower than that of interest$(3.22{\pm}1.33)$(p<0.01). Multiple analysis revealed that the intention of admission increased with decreasing number of future supportive persons$(\beta=-0.107)$, lower level of activity in daily life$(\beta=-0.447)$, and longer years of education$(\beta=-0.447)$ with 32.7% of $R^2$. As for the factors which determined the admission into a CNH, the fee and facilities were considered to be most important, and professional nursing and physician's care were the most desired services. In nomenclature, they preferred 'elderly hospital' or 'elderly health center' to CNH. Conclusions : Interest in CNH is increasing recently, but existing studies about patient experiences in CHN are still limited. This study may form a basis for future examinations of the needs and uses for CNH. Active financial support and public information are considered by the authors to be important factors for the induction of welfare services for the elderly, though CNH.

목적: Kabuki 증후군은 정신 지체를 동반하는 선천성 다발성 기형 증후군이다. 우리나라에서는 현재까지 6례의 Kabuki 증후군 증례가 산발적으로 보고 된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 저자들이 경험한 Kabuki 증후군 환자 6명의 임상 및 유전학적 특징을 조사하고, 이를 외국 문헌들과 비교 분석해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년부터 2009년까지 아주대학교 병원 유전질환 전문센터에서 Kabuki 증후군으로 진단되어 추적 중인 6명의 한국인 여아를 대상으로 하였으며, 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하여 이들의 임상 및 검사 소견을 수집하고 분석하였다. 결 과: 6명의 환자 모두가 특징적인 얼굴 모습 및 발달 지연 소견을 보이고 있었고, 손끝의 태아 패드 또한 모든 환자에서 확인되었다. 이외에도 대부분의 환자가 생후 성장 지연(83.3 %) 및 근력 저하(83.3%) 소견을 보였다. 안과적인 이상 또한 흔하게 동반되었는데, 특히 사시(83.3%)가 가장 흔한 안과적 이상 소견이었다. 선천성 심장 기형은 50%의 환자에서 동반되었으며, 골격계통의 증상으로는 짧거나(83.3%) 굽은(50%) 5번째 손가락, 관절의 과신전(50%) 및 고관절 탈구(16.7%) 등으로 다양하였다. Kabuki 증후군의 가족력을 가진 환자는 없었으며, 핵형 분석 및 array CGH를 포함한 세포유전학적 분석에서 Kabuki 증후군의 원인으로 생각되는 이상 소견은 발견되지 않았다. 결 론: 한국인 Kabuki 증후군 환자들이 보이는 임상 양상은 매우 광범위하며 다양한 신체 기관을 침범하고 있다. 비록 Kabuki 증후군의 임상적특징들이 비교적잘 알려져 있기는 하지만, 아직질환의 원인으로 추정되는 유전적 이상은 확실히밝혀지지 않았다. 적절한 질환의 관리및 유전상담이 이루어지기 위해서는 Kabuki 증후군의 자연 경과 및 유전적 배경에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.
