  • Various health promoting effects of steamed and freeze-dried mature silkworm powder (SMSP) have been reported. However, it is not still clear which substances in SMSP are responsible for those health promoting effects yet. In this study, we examined and compared the quantities of phytochemicals in SMSP and freeze-dried mulberry leave powder (FMLP). To investigate the optimal solvent for extracting phytochemicals from SMSP and FMLP, we used four different solvents. Among them, 80% ethanol extracts from SMSP and FMLP contained the highest amount of five flavonoids examined. In addition, FMLP had high contents of flavonoids compared with those of SMSP. The amounts of rutin, isoquercetin, astragalin, quercetin, and kaempferol in FMLP were $5.078{\pm}0.187mg/g$, $5.162{\pm}0.083mg/g$, $2.989{\pm}0.061mg/g$, $3.317{\pm}0.236mg/g$, and $2.243{\pm}0.237mg/g$, respectively, while the amounts of rutin, isoquercetin, astragalin, quercetin, and kaempferol in SMSP were $0.171{\pm}0.024mg/g$, $0.252{\pm}0.032mg/g$, $0.374{\pm}0.031mg/g$, $0.645{\pm}0.063mg/g$, and $0.0512{\pm}0.047mg/g$, respectively. Taken together, SMSP could be a source for providing various and readily absorbable flavonoids.

  • Background: QiShen YiQi pills (QSYQ) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, which has a significant effect on the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in clinical practice. However, the molecular mechanism of QSYQ regulation pyroptosis after MI is still not fully known. Hence, this study was designed to reveal the mechanism of the active ingredient in QSYQ. Methods: Integrated approach of network pharmacology and molecular docking, were conducted to screen active components and corresponding common target genes of QSYQ in intervening pyroptosis after MI. Subsequently, STRING and Cytoscape were applied to construct a PPI network, and obtain candidate active compounds. Molecular docking was performed to verify the binding ability of candidate components to pyroptosis proteins and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) induced cardiomyocytes injuries were applied to explore the protective effect and mechanism of the candidate drug. Results: Two drug-likeness compounds were preliminarily selected, and the binding capacity between Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) and key target High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1)was validated in the form of hydrogen bonding. 2 μM Rh2 prevented OGD-induced H9c2 death and reduced IL-18 and IL-1β levels, possibly by decreasing the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, inhibiting the expression of p12-caspase1, and attenuating the level of pyroptosis executive protein GSDMD-N. Conclusions: We propose that Rh2 of QSYQ can protect myocardial cells partially by ameliorating pyroptosis, which seems to have a new insight regarding the therapeutic potential for MI.

  • 향후 더욱 경쟁적인 상황에 놓이게 될 보천의료 분야에 능동적으로 대처하기 위한 방안의 하나로서 보건의료 조직은 간호부서의 성과 향상을 위한 노력을 지속적으로 기울이고 있다. 이러한 성과 향상을 위한 노력은 정확한 성과의 측정이 함께 이루어질 때 가능하게 된다. 간호서비스의 성과 측정은 여러 각도에서 조명되고 측정이 이루어져야하며 간호관리자는 총괄적인 성과측정시스템에 대한 새로운 인식과 사전 준비작업으로 무장을 하여야 한다. 이러한 요구에 맞추어, 본 논문은 간호 서비스의 성과측정방법에 대한 고찰, 즉 생산성, 효율성, 간호의 질, 수익성. quality of work life에 대한 간호분야에서의 접근방법을 재정리하고, 새로운 총괄적인 성과측정방법의 개념을 제시한다.

  • This review synthesizes research during the past 15 years on the family relations of older persons. After discussing two background issues-sociodemographic changes of later life families and the status of the elderly-the following topics are addressed; relationships between aged parents and adult children, couple relationships, grandparents' relationship with their grandchildren and sibling relationships. Family relationships are vital support systems providing emotional and instrumental support in the lives of older persons. Mutual assistance and affection among family members were found to be common characteristics. Although research on family gerontology has increased in quantify, there are feater needs to develop qualitative, longitudinal and theory grounded studies to capture the rich complexity of family life. Other challenges and suggestions for future research on older persons' family relationship are presented.

  • Thesedays, Home Economic in Korea is faced with the danger of a discord caused by the outer pressure of reorganization in the process educational reformation. The first purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the informatized society and the changes of families lived in the informatized society. The second was to assert to strengthen Home Economics in the informatized society. Ultimately we suggested an integrative and interdisciplinary model about Home Economics from the ecological and informative perspective. This model consist with three parts: Human development(Child studies, Gerontology, & Adolescent studies) and family studies division(Family relation studies, family resource management studies, & Consumer studies) Environmental division(Clothing and Textiles, Food and Nutrition, & Housing) and HEIS(Home Economics Information System). This classification is correspond with the one Human-Behavioral Environment and Human-Constructed Environment of Ecological theory.

  • The Korean Geriatrics Society was founded on October 3, 1968. Over the 50 years since then, the Society has incessantly strived to stay attuned to the aging society and to achieve an increasingly greater research impact in the field of gerontology and geriatric medicine. The Society has passed through periods of preparation for a leap forward, followed by rapid growth, expansion, and maturity. As a result, the Society has gained a firm foothold at home and abroad as a leading research society for both qualitative and quantitative achievements in geriatric medicine. At this juncture, with an ultra-aging society being just around the corner, we are celebrating its 50th anniversary and anticipating our second half-century with great enthusiasm about our mission and role as a leading geriatric research organization.

  • 본 연구는 노년초월 이론과 Erikson & Erikson의 9단계 이론을 소개함으로써, 고령화 시대에 접어든 우리나라에서 노화를 보다 긍정적이면서 새로운 관점에서 바라볼 수 있도록 하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 기존에 알려진 Erikson의 인간발달 8단계의 확장이론인 Erikson & Erikson의 9단계 이론에 대해 살펴보도록 하겠다. 또한 이 이론의 가장 대표적인 현상으로 소개하는 '노년초월(Gerotranscendence)'에 대해 살펴보고, 우리나라 노년학계에서의 활용방안 등에 대하여 모색해보고자 한다. 노년초월의 개념은 Tornstam(1994)에 의해 처음 제기되었고 이후 Erikson & Erikson(1997)의 9단계이론으로 알려지게 되었다. 노년초월이란 중년기 이후 노년기에 접어든 개인이 "인생의 전반적인 시각을 물질주의적이고 합리적인 시각에서 보다 우주적이고 초월적인 시각으로 변화시키는 것"로 정의될 수 있다. 노년초월은 많은 노인들에게 나타나는 자기 초월의 자발적 과정으로서, 사회적으로 정의되는 자기(self)에게 덜 의존하게 되고, 내면성이 증가하고 이전 세대와 미래 세대와의 연결감이 더 커지는 것이다. 본 연구에서 분석한 노년초월에 대한 이론적 평가를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 본 연구는 Erikson & Erikson의 9단계 이론과 그 대표적인 현상으로 인식되는 노년초월 이론을 처음으로 소개하여 노년학 이론의 적용범위를 확대하였다. 둘째, 노인복지 실천현장에서 노인에 대한 인식을 새롭게 할 수 있는 관점을 제공하였다. 셋째, 노년초월 이론을 우리나라에서 적용시키고 확대시킴으로써 다른 학문 분야와의 폭넓은 연구교류의 장을 마련할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
