The purpose of this study was to examine factors contributing to financial resources interchange type and amount of the middle aged and the elderly household. For this study, the 6th KLIPS data was used, and sample size was 1,679 households including those with head of household being over the age of 50. Statistical analysis was conducted to examine frequency, percentile, mean and standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, Anova, Duncan's multiple range test and Heckman analysis First, Interchange amount of Benefits type household was significantly different according to the householder's gender, existence or nonexistence of a spouse, age, educational background, home ownership, family type and place of residence. However, interchange amount of provide- type households were significantly different according tohouseholder's gender, existence or nonexistence of a spouse, educational background, whether retired or not, and home ownership. Second, The receptive type of households and net receptive expense of households in terms of the financial resources interchanges and the findings of Heckman analyses suggest that the variables to have a significant effect on the receptive types of financial interchanges were as gender, age, education level, retired or not, and current economics. Factors having an effects on net receptive expense were age, and family type and for the number of receptive of financial resources, whether there is the receptive of financial resources, total income, total asset. Third, The supplying type of households and net supplying expense of households in terms of the financial resources interchanges, whether or not the type of financially supplying households is significant were residential area, total income, house ownership. Factor having an effect net supplying expense were age, family type, whether there is the supplying of financial resources, family satisfaction, and house ownership.

Background: Compared to the frequency of occurrence of pre-auricular skin tag, cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants is one of congenital, benign neck masses that is very rare all over the world. Most of these rare anomalies are reported in case reports and especially, rare cases of unilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants have been reported in Korean. Materials & Methods: A 9-year-old male patient visited the hospital on September 2017 for a rod-shaped mass. As a simultaneous diagnosis and treatment method, complete surgical excision was executed. Results: Excised mass was 0.5cm in diameter, 1.2cm in. Histologically, a hyaline and elastic cartilage was found in the core. As a family history, the same remnant was found in the right Anterior neck area of his mother. Conclusion: In this case, it is possible to diagnose and treat simply at the same time and even an optimal aesthetic result can be obtained.

Background: Depression is a comorbid disabling problem and potentially affects patient likelihood of survival. The aims of this study were to recognize the characteristics of depression and investigate associated predictor factors in patients with oral cancers. Methods: A cross-sectional and correlational design was used to collect data for this study conducted in northern Taiwan. A set of questionnaires was used to measure depression, symptom distress, performance status, social support, and demographic and disease-related information. Logistic regression was conducted to determine important factors predicting depression. Results: A total of 132 oral cancer patients participated in this study. Of these, 18.2% were identified as depression cases. The patient average performance status score was 90 or higher. Patients reported mild-to-moderate levels of symptom distress. The majority of social support was from families. Religious belief, alcohol use, symptom distress, and social support from family were found to be important factors predicting depression. Patients with religious belief with alcohol use reported greater symptom distress, and those with lower levels of social support from families were significantly more likely to develop depression. Conclusions: Clinicians should assess patient emotional status and manage symptoms in a timely manner to enhance coping abilities. Supportive care provides assurance during the acute survivor phase.

The alopecia is classified to Alopecia areata, Telogen effluvium, Anagen effluvium and Androgenetic alopecia. The exact cause of alopecia is not known, but a inherent and immunologic anc psychosomatic and endocrinic factors are suspected. We analysed clinical study in 77 patients, who had visited to the Dept. of Dermatology, Hospital of Oriental Medicine, Kyung Hee University to treat alopecia from June, 1994 to March, 1995. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In the series of 77 patients, $52\%\;were\;male\;and\;48\%$ were female. The peak incidence of age group was 20 to 29 ($55\%$). 2. The peak incidence of age group at on set was 20 to 29 ($49\%$). 3. The most frequent feature was insomnia ($25\%$). Frequent appeared signs and symptoms in descending order were head itching, head scale, fatigue and dizziness. 4. The personal history of patient were seborrheic dermatitis ($17\%$), atopic dermatitis, disorder of thyroid gland and acne in descending order. 5. The patients with family history occupied $25\%$. 6. Shineung Yangjin Dan was most used in treatments as $36\%$.

We collected a specimen of Heniochus diphreutes Jordan, 1903 belonging to the family Chaetodontidae on December 26, 2020 in Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, using the set net. Although, H. diphreutes is morphologically very similar to Heniochus acuminatus, it can be distinguished from the latter based on the number of dorsal fin spines, mostly 12 in H. diphreutes vs 11 in H. acuminatus, and the percentage of snout length in head length, which is less than 12% in H. diphreutes vs more than 13% in H. acuminatus. Compared to H. acuminatus, H. diphreutes has a shorter snout, two-three rows of teeth, convex ventral profile of the head, more angular anal fins, and a black pattern extending to the longest soft rays on the posterior part of the anal fin. Molecular analyses showed that our specimen perfectly matched H. diphreutes based on mtDNA COI sequences data. We propose a new Korean name for H. diphreutes, "Jjal-beun-ib-du-dong-ga-li-dom".

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a rare disease that can be accompanied by various clinical symptoms in addition to basal cell carcinoma. Cancers usually occur at an earlier age or later in multiple areas. According to a recent study, genetic mutations are highly suspected as the cause of the syndrome. Since this gene mutation is inherited as an autosomal dominant, it must be accompanied by a screening test for the patient's family along with the patient's treatment. In this study, we was experienced a patient diagnosed with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome after genetic mutation was confirmed, so it is reported along with a review of the literature.

Background: The phenomenon of occult carcinoma maybe observed in patients with clinically unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Although many studies have reported that the $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation is associated with aggressive PTMC, the relationship between $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation and occult carcinoma is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors, including $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation, for occult contralateral carcinoma in clinically unilateral PTMC accompanied by benign nodules in the contralateral lobe. Materials and Methods: From January 2011 to December 2013, we prospectively enrolled 89 consecutive PTMC patients with clinically unilateral carcinoma accompanied by benign nodules in the contralateral lobe who received a total thyroidectomy and cervical lymph node dissection. $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation was tested by pyrosequencing on postoperative paraffin specimens. The frequency and predictive factors for occult contralateral carcinoma were analyzed with respect to the following variables: age, gender, family history, tumor size, presence of Hashimoto thyroiditis, extrathyroidal extension, central lymph node metastasis, multifocality of primary tumor, or $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation. Results: A total of 36 patients (40.4%) had occult PTMC in the contralateral lobe. The median diameter of the occult tumors was $0.33{\pm}0.21cm$. The $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation was found in 38 cases (42.7%). According to the univariate analysis, there were no significant differences between the presence of occult contralateral carcinoma and age, gender, family history, tumor size, presence of Hashimoto thyroiditis, extrathyroidal extension, central lymph node metastasis, multifocality of primary tumor, or $BRAF^{T1799A}$ mutation. Conclusions: Using current methods, it is difficult to preoperatively identify patients with PTMC, and further research is needed to determine predictive factors for the presence of occult contralateral carcinoma in patients with unilateral PTMC.

This study explores the original text of a Korean recipe book written in the 17th century, which is hitherto unknown to food-related societies, and analyzes the characteristics of the recipes in this book. Choi's recipes in Jasonbojoen (子孫寶傳) are significant, as it is a rare instance of a Korean cookbook written by a woman-few pre-17th century recipe books of this type are known to have survived. This study made some important discoveries after analyzing this book. First, by using pasqueflower and cockscomb, it was possible to identify the era-specific characteristics of kimchi recipes from the 1400s until after the 1700s. Second, this book has historical value, as it shows that the combination of kimchi with cockscomb and the recipe for stuffed eggplant kimchi made only with a small portion of garlic and salt have existed for longer than was previously believed. Third, this book can serve as a valuable database for studies on historical changes in Korean food recipes, as the recipes in this book besides those related to kimchi are representative of recipes in cookbooks before the 17th century. Additionally, it appears that some recipes in the book use very unique minor ingredients that cannot be found in other books.
