Although there are many research studies on the effectiveness of heat and cold therapy for patients with arthritis at home or health care center, little attention has been paid to determining which therapy associates with season is effective for patients with chronic arthritis. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of heat and cold therapy associated with season for patients with arthritis. An experimental design using replications with intervention was employed. A total of 27 female arthritic patients were selected. Data were collected in summer and winter. Hot bag and ice bag were applied on each patient's knee for each 20 minutes alternatively. Joint pain, discomfort and range of motion were measured. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, and two-way ANOVA. The results of this study were ; 1. Joint pain Heat therapy was effective for pain relief, as compared with cold therapy. Heat therapy was more effective for pain relief in winter than in summer. Cold therapy was effective for pain relief, but there was no statistically significant difference of pain relief between summer and winter. 2. Discomfort Discomfort was decreased using heat therapy, whereas it was increased using cold therapy. Although discomfort was decreased using heat therapy in both summer and winter, there was no statistically significant difference of discomfort between summer and winter. Using cold therapy, discomfort was decreased in summer, but increased in winter. and season had effect on discomfort. 3. Range of motion Although there was no statistically significant difference between the range of motion for both heat and cold therapy, range of motion was Increased using both heat and cold therapy. In winter, range of motion was increased rather than in summer by using heat therapy. Using cold therapy, The range of motion was decreased in both summer and winter. There was no stastistically significant difference of range of motion between heat therapy and cold therapy. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference of range of motion between summer and winter. In conclusion, both heat and cold therapy were effective for pain relief, discomfort, and range of motion, especially heat therapy. Heat therapy was effective for pain relief, discomfort, and range of motion in winter, as compared with summer. Cold therapy, however, was effective for only pain relief in winter, The findings suggest the use of heat therapy for patients with arthritis especially in winter.

Ursolic acid (UA) supplementation was previously shown to improve skeletal muscle function in resistance-trained men. This study aimed to determine, using the same experimental paradigm, whether UA also has beneficial effects on exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage markers including the levels of cortisol, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in resistance-trained men. Sixteen healthy participants were randomly assigned to resistance training (RT) or RT+UA groups (n=8 per group). Participants were trained according to the RT program (60~80% of 1 repetition, 6 times/week), and the UA group was additionally given UA supplementation (450 mg/day) for 8 weeks. Blood samples were obtained before and after intervention, and cortisol, BNP, myoglobin, CK, CK-MB, and LDH levels were analyzed. Subjects who underwent RT alone showed no significant change in body composition and markers of skeletal muscle damage, whereas RT+UA group showed slightly decreased body weight and body fat percentage and slightly increased lean body mass, but without statistical significance. In addition, UA supplementation significantly decreased the BNP, CK, CK-MB, and LDH levels (p<0.05). In conclusion, UA supplementation alleviates increased skeletal muscle damage markers after RT. This finding provides evidence for a potential new therapy for resistance-trained men.

As a part of host factors of dental caries, saliva has been well known for its important role in relation to dental caries. The studies on its physical and chemical characteristics on development and progress of dental caries has been conducted. Recently, various comparisons between saliva of caries-susceptable individuals and caries-free individuals has been done and the efforts to understand the mechanisms of salivary intervention of development and progress of dental caries is actively in progress. In this study, 15 children with rampant dental caries and 15 caries free children without any systemic diseases from the ages of 2 to 5 were chosen for the experiment and the whole saliva and parotid saliva from each individuals were collected and protein compositions were compared using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). As results of this study, in parotid saliva, there was no difference in protein compositions between the rampant dental caries and the caries free children. While electrophoresis was done with the whole saliva, protein with 120 KDa was found in children with rampant dental caries. However, this protein was not found or unclear, if any for the caries free group. (Exceptionally, clear protein band was present for one person.) Protein compositions of whole saliva of rampant dental caries group was compared before and after the caries control and thick and clear protein bands of about 120 KDa were found in both cases. Protein compostions of caries free children and adults were identical. Quantitative analysis of protein was done for the rampant dental caries group and the control group and no significant difference was found. Taken all together, protein with molecular weight of 120 KDa, found in rampant dental caries group, was still present when the treatment for the dental caries was done so it can be assumed that this protein has no interrelation with the presence of active carious lesions during saliva collecting. It can also be presumed that this specific salivary protein with the molecular weight of 120 KDa found in rampant dental caries group has effect on development and progress of dental caries. Identification on this protein with the molecular-weight of 120 KDa and the role of this protein against dental caries remain to be solved.

9.11 테러참사 사건에 대한 미국, 중국, 한국의 주요일간지 보도 비교분석 결과 자국의 이데올로기와 외교적 이해관계가 국제 분쟁에 관한 뉴스 프레임에 영향을 미치고 있다는 사실이 확인되었다. 뉴스 프레임은 양적, 질적인 측면에서 모두 차이를 보였는데, 기사량에서 미국의 <뉴욕 타임즈>, 한국의 <조선일보>는 9.11 테러사건 발생직후 신문의 거의 전 지면을 할애한 반면(382건, 192건) 중국의 인민일보는 단 32건의 기사만을 보도함으로써 이번 사건을 상대적으로 축소 보도하였다. 뉴스 내용에서도 <뉴욕 타임즈>와 <조선일보>는 9.11 테러와 아프간 공습을 미국 정부의 공식적인 시각대로 '인류 평화를 위협하는 악의 전쟁행위' 그에 따른 '필연적인 미국의 군사보복과 응징'의 틀을 통해 미국의 아프간에 대한 무력 공격을 정당화시킨 반면, 중국의 <인민일보>의 경우에는 9.11 테러와 관련해서는 중립적 시각에서 사실보도만을 하고, 미국의 공습과 관련해서는 무고한 아프간 민간인들의 회생과 고통을 부각함으로써 현저하게 다른 뉴스 프레임을 견지한 것으로 나타났다. 이야기 구성방식에서는 세 나라의 일간지 모두 특정 사건 중심으로 에피소드를 전핸 일화 중심적 뉴스틀을 사용한 것으로 나타났다.

그동안 사회복지 임상실천 분야에서 주로 관심을 기울여 온 것은 개입방법의 개발과 효과성 측정 연구였다. 반면 이러한 연구 결과물이 어떻게 현장에 보급되고 활용되는지에 대한 관심은 상대적으로 부족한 편이었다. 이러한 현상은 결과적으로 연구와 실천간의 괴리를 초래할 수 있다는 비판이 제기되면서, 최근 외국에서는 사회복지 분야에서도 이론과 실천, 또는 학문과 현장을 잇는 중요한 기제로서 지식 및 기술의 보급과 활용에 대한 관심이 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 본 연구자가 프로그램 개발에 이어 현장보급 노력을 기울여 온 성장기술 프로그램을 중심으로 현장보급 과정과 활용현황을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 보급과 활용에 관한 기존 이론 및 모델들을 정리하고, 그 중 Herie와 Martin의 연구-실천 가교 모델에 의거하여 성장기술 프로그램의 현장 보급과정 및 활용 상황을 추적 조사하고 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 성장기술 프로그램 보급과정의 문제점으로는 구체적인 전략의 부재, 계획성 부족으로 인한 즉흥적인 대응, 초기 보급 대상자에 대한 허술한 파악 등을 도출할 수 있었다. 그리고 효과적인 보급과 활용을 위해서는 적절한 모델을 선택하고 그에 따라 보급과정을 적용하고 실천할 것, 프로그램 개발과정부터 보급에 대해 염두를 두고 진행할 것, 프로그램 개발 뿐 아니라 현장 피드백 확보를 위한 노력을 기울일 것, 그리고 사회복지 교육 및 연구에서 전파과정에 대한 부분을 강화할 것 등을 제언하였다. 이를 통해 몇 가지 한계점들에도 불구하고 보급 및 활용에 대한 중요성을 제시할 수 있었으며, 성장기술 프로그램의 현장 활용성도 파악할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 보급과 활용에 대한 논의들은 국내에서 진행되는 연구의 전파 뿐 아니라 그동안 외국으로부터 도입해온 개입방법들을 한국 상황에 맞게 토착화하기 위하여 앞으로 더욱 활성화될 필요가 있을 것이다.

관상동맥-폐동맥 누공은 비교적 드문 질환으로 선천적 원인이 대부분이나 최근 흉부 시술이나 방사선 치료의 증가로 점차 후천적 원인이 많아지는 추세이다. 증상이 비특이적이어서 진단이 늦어질 수 있어 주의를 요한다. 저자들이 경험한 환자는 기존의 폐질환 증상 때문에 심장 혈관 질환의 진행을 예측하기 어려웠다. 약간의 논쟁이 있으나 원인에 계 없이 크기가 작은 누공에서는 추적관찰이, 중등도 이상의 크기이거나 확장 가능성이 있는 경우에는 누공을 막거나 원인혈관을 제거하는 방법이 장되고 있다. 예후는 대체로 양호한 편이다.

Objectives : This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between internet game addiction and emotional and behavioral characteristics of students both in the 5th and 6th grade of elementary school and in middle school. Methods : Two elementary schools and two middle schools were chosen to participate. The students completed selfreport questionnaires designed by the authors, called the Internet Game Addiction Scale, Korean youth self-report (K-YSR). Results : Compared to previous studies, the rates of those in the obvious game addiction group were much lower in this study. We defined the upper 10% of internet game addiction scores as a high risk user group and the lower 10% as a control group. There were significant differences between the groups with respect to the the ages at which internet gaming began, the frequency of game play per week, and the average length of each game playing session. Significant associations were also found between the level of internet game addiction and the withdrawn and delinquency subscales of the K-YSR. However, the association between game addiction and the withdrawn subscale was found only in middle school students. Conclusion : The findings from this study suggested that withdrawn and delinquent behaviors could be predictors of internet game addiction. Results also suggested the importance of early childhood intervention for preventing the development of more severe psychopathology in early adolescence.

Back ground and Objective : There is a need for objectification and scientific verification of Pattern identification in Oriental medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the skin characteristics of Qi deficiency and Blood deficiency animal models. Material and Methods : Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: normal group, Qi deficiency group and Blood deficiency group. The Qi deficiency animal model was induced through restriction of food (75g/kg/day) for 20 days. Blood deficiency animal model was induced by bleeding from tail vein(0.3 ml/time) 8 times. The normal animal model was kept without any intervention. The general condition was observed by measuring body weight, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, and hematological and biochemical parameters. The skin characteristics were observed by measuring the erythema index(EI), melanin index(Ml), transepidermal water loss(TEWL) and dermal microcirculation. Results : 1. In the Qi deficiency group, body weight was lower than the other groups. In the Qi deficiency group, blood pressure was lower than in the Normal group. There was no difference in body temperature and pulse rate between the three groups. 2. In the Qi deficiency group, blood sugar was lower than in the Blood deficiency group. There was no difference in triacylglycerol between the three groups. In the Qi deficiency group, the WBC count was lower than in the Blood deficiency group. RBC count was highest in the Qi deficiency group, Normal group and Blood deficiency group respectively. In the Qi deficiency group, Hb and Hct were higher than the other groups. 3. EI and MI were decreased in the Qi deficiency group, and EI showed a significant decrease. 4. EI and MI were increased in the Blood deficiency group, and MI showed a significant increase. 5. TEWL was significantly increased in the Qi deficiency group, while it was decreased in the Blood deficiency group, TEWL was highest in the Qi deficiency group, Normal group and Blood deficiency group respectively and all three groups showed significant difference. 6. In the Qi deficiency group, dermal microcirculation was lower than the other groups. Conclusion : The above results show that the erythema index decreases in the Qi deficiency model, and the melanin index increases in the Blood deficiency model. The Qi deficiency animal model shows an increase in transepidermal water loss, while the Blood deficiency animal model shows a decrease. Further studies should develop new models of Pattern Identification that are more specific.
