Disparities in health and disease between various population subgroups, such as racial and ethnic groups, are a major focus of public health research but also pose considerable challenges. Diet is a key contributor to disparities in many chronic diseases and conditions. Therefore, in order to understand and address racial and ethnic health disparities, it is important to characterize the dietary patterns of the populations of interest. African Americans are at higher risk for many diet-related chronic disease conditions, such as obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and many cancers relative to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. In this report, I describe the diet-related chronic disease profiles of African Americans, characterize their dietary patterns and food preferences, identify demographic, psychosocial, environmental, and cultural factors that may affect their dietary choices, and propose strategies for improving the dietary and health profiles of African Americans.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 소아암 등의 난치병 환자들의 소원성취 프로그램에 대한 만족도가 질병 적응에 미치는 영향에서 레질리언스와 질병 스트레스가 갖는 매개효과를 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 방법: 한국메이크어위시재단에서 2010년부터 2014년까지 5년간 소원을 이루었던 1,597명의 환아 중 문장해독과 기억유지가 가능한 666명의 10대 이상에 해당하는 환아들에게 2015년 1월 2일에 모바일 설문지를 발송하였다. 그 결과 357명이 응답을 하였으나 성실하게 응답한 292명의 자료를 분석하였다. 결과: 소아 난치병 환아들이 소원성취 프로그램에 대해서 갖는 만족도는 레질리언스에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 레질리언스는 질병 스트레스에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 질병 적응에는 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 질병 스트레스는 질병 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구결과를 볼 때 소아 난치병 환자를 위한 소원성취 프로그램에 대한 만족도는 레질리언스의 향상과 질병 스트레스의 감소를 통하여 궁극적으로 이들의 질병에 대한 적응력을 높이는 효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 소아 난치병 환자들의 욕구와 특성을 면밀히 분석하여 소원성취 프로그램을 실행하고 만족도를 높이면 이들이 질병에 대해서 보다 적극적으로 대처할 수 있는 동시에 현재의 삶을 긍정적으로 영위할 수 있는 동기를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문의 목적은 감염병 조건이 도시열섬현상 저감을 위해 시행한 옥상녹화 사업에 대한 서울시민들의 지불의사금액에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 감염병 조건과 비감염병 조건 하에서 옥상녹화 사업에 대한 지불의사액을 조건부가치추정법을 통해 산정 및 비교분석하였다. 그 결과 감염병 조건에 따른 지불의사액이 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있게 나타났고, 감염병 조건의 지불의사액이 비감염병조건보다 낮음을 확인하였다.

This paper reviews the available published literature on the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and COX-2 inhibition properties of phycocyanin from Spirulina. The potential application of for the prevention and mitigation of such radical-induced chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, and age-related degenerative diseases like Alzheimer＇s disease, Parkinson＇s disease, diabetes and other conditions are discussed based on the available evidence.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing rapidly in Korea and one quarter of the new patients present in childhood. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are incurable conditions associated with significant morbidity, therefore the focus of treatment in children should be to reduce or eliminate symptoms, optimize nutritional status and growth, prevent complications. This review will deal with the evidence supporting the treatments currently used in children with inflammatory bowel disease.

A root rot/vine decline disease occurred naturally on bottle gourd-stocked watermelon, melon, oriental melon and squash grown in greenhouses, but not on these plants grown in fields. Self-rooted watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin and luffa were also proven to be hosts of the pathogen by artificial inoculation in this experiment. The pathogen was identified as Monosporascus cannonballus by comparing microscopic characteristics of fungal structures with those of previously identified fungal strains. Our field investigations showed that the temperature and electric conductivity of soil in infected greenhouses were higher and the soil moisture content was lower than in noninfected greenhouses. To investigate soil-environmental factors affecting disease development, greenhouse trials and inoculation experiments were conducted. The host plants inoculated and grown under conditions of high soil temperature and electrical conductivity ($35\pm2^{\circ}$, 3.2-3.5 mS) and with low soil moisture content (pF 3.0-4.5) were most severely damaged by the fungal disease. Since plants growing in greenhouses ae usually exposed to such environmental conditions, this may be the reason why the monosporascus root rot/vine decline disease has occurred only on cucurbits cultivated in greenhouses but not in field conditions.

Objectives Mibyeong is an ideological concept that means the state between the healthy and diseased conditions. The purpose of this study was to suggest a research direction to establish the diagnostic criteria for the Mibyeong by reviewing the research results for the Mibyeong. Methods Academic databases (OASIS for Korean database, Embase for English database, and CNKI for Chinese database) were used to search related literatures, and articles describing the concept or diagnostic criteria of the disease were selected. Results The concept of Mibyeong consisted of three different conditions: (1) subjective symptoms without a specific disease, (2) abnormal examination findings without a specific disease, and (3) a state in between health and disease. No matter which of the three conditions is applied, the spectrum of condition was very wide and diverse. Conclusions It is impossible to apply appropriate and monolithic diagnostic criteria to all types of Mibyeong. Therefore, we suggests that the Mibyeong be classified into several subtypes and the diagnostic criteria suitable for each type be established.

Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of muscle mass and function with aging. Recently sarcopenia was recognized as a clinical disease by the International Classification of Disease, 10th revision, Clinical Modification. An imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation causes a gradual loss of muscle mass, resulting in a decline of muscle function as a progress of sarcopenia. Many mechanisms involved in the onset of sarcopenia include age-related factors as well as activity-, disease-, and nutrition-related factors. The stage of sarcopenia reflecting the severity of conditions assists clinical management of sarcopenia. It is important that systemic descriptions of the disease conditions include age, sex, and other environmental risk factors as well as levels of physical function. To develop a new therapeutic intervention needed is the detailed understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms by which apoptosis, autophagy, atrophy, and hypertrophy occur in the muscle stem cells, myotubes, and/or neuromuscular junction. The new strategy to managing sarcopenia will be signal-modulating small molecules, natural compounds, repurposing of old drugs, and muscle-specific microRNAs.

Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) is a sleep-related movement disorder characterized by involuntary, rhythmic limb movements during sleep. While PLMD itself is not considered life-threatening, its association with certain underlying health conditions raises concerns about mortality risks. PLMD has been found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The fragmented sleep caused by the repetitive limb movements and associated arousals may contribute to sympathetic activation, chronic sleep disruption, sleep deprivation, and subsequent cardiovascular problems, which can increase mortality risks. The comorbidities and health factors commonly associated with PLMD, such as obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, may also contribute to increased mortality risks. PLMD is often observed alongside other neurological disorders, including restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Parkinson's disease. The presence of PLMD in these conditions may exacerbate the underlying health issues and potentially contribute to higher mortality rates. Further research is needed to elucidate the specific mechanisms linking PLMD to mortality risks and to develop targeted interventions that address these risks.
