Background: Some studies have indicated an inverse relationship between cancer risk and sunlight exposure. Others have reported that the prognosis of some cancers such as prostate, colon, ovarian and non melanoma skin cancer, were affected by the season in which the cancer was diagnosed. In our study, we evaluated whether season is prognostic in Turkish patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 517 patients from Kayseri Training and Research Hospital were analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to season of cancer diagnosis: winter, spring, summer and autumn. The prognostic factors for disease free survival and overall survival were investigated. Results: No significant differences were found among groups regarding prognostic factors overall. Only estrogen receptor status and lymphovascular invasion were independent prognostic factors (p=0.001 and p=0.001 respectively). We found significantly differences for mean disease free survival among groups (p=0.019). Winter group had better mean DFS while summer group had worse DFS. Mean overall survival was similar in the four groups (p=0.637). Conclusions: The season is not an independent predictive factor. However, due to interaction with other factors, we think that the season of cancer diagnosis is important for cancer prognosis.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to investigate the association between the dietary intake of fish and shellfish, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in the middle-aged Korean female patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was performed with 356 female patients (means age: 55.5 years), who were recruited from the Huh's Diabetes Clinic in Seoul, Korea between 2005 and 2011. The dietary intake was assessed by a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and analyzed using the Computer Aided Nutritional Analysis program (CAN-Pro) version 4.0 software. RESULTS: In a multiple regression analysis after the adjustment for confounding factors such as age, BMI, duration of diagnosed T2D, alcohol consumption, fiber intake, sodium intake, and total energy intake, fish and shellfish intake of the subjects was negatively associated with triglyceride and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Omega-3 PUFAs intake was negatively associated with triglyceride, systolic blood pressures, diastolic blood pressures, and PWV. The multiple logistic regression analysis with the covariates showed a significant inverse relationship between the omega-3 PUFAs consumption and prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia [OR (95% CI) for greater than the median compared to less than the median: 0.395 (0.207-0.753)]. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the consumption of fish and shellfish, good sources of omega-3 PUFAs, may reduce the risk factors for CVD in the middle-aged female patients with T2D.

Sister chromatid exchange(SCE) has recently become a common cytogenic assay system for detecting exposure to chemical mutagens and carcinogens. One application of SCE is the monitoring of populations believed to be exposed to such agents. A cross-sectional study of SCE frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes from 40 college students aged 18 to 26 years was conducted. The effects of cigarette smoking alcohol and coffee consumption, dietary and environmental factors on SCE were assessed. A mean spontaneous SCE per cell for the smokers(4.88$\pm$0.17). The SCE levels of the smokers were associated with the personal smoking amount ; the observed increase in the SCE frequency correlated with the number of cigarettes smoked per day (P<0.05). There was no effect of age on SCE. There were positive linear relationship between SCE and food frequency score of meat and fish group (P<0.05) or instant food group(P<0.01) in non-smokers. But in smokers, a significant inverse association between SCE and food frequency score of green and yellow vegetable group(P<0.05). Alcohol intake produced a significant increase(P<0.01) of SCE in comparison with the mean SCE for those not drinking alcohol in combine subjects. Other dietary parameters, including coffee intake, use of artificial sweetners and processed foods, did not show any increase in SCE. SCEs were inversely related to blood glucose and serum cholesterol levels of the combine subjects. No significant correlations were found between SCE frequencise and any other hematological parameters of the subjects.

The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of health promoting lifestyles(Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile HPLP) of Koreans in the Philippines. The sample consisted of 100 Koreans who have lived in Manila, Philippines. Data were collected for two months from Feb, 1 to March 30, 1998. Analysis of the data was done by use of percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. The range of total HPLP score was from 73 to 175 and the mean score of that was 117.23. In comparison of mean scores depending on each item of six dimensions, self-actualization dimension tended to show the hightest score(2.98) and responsibility for health dimension, the lowest score(1.83). 2. The HPLP score showed a positive correlation with age(r=.19), social support (r=.39), self-efficacy(r=.52) and perceived health status(r=.27), but a inverse correlation with perceived health care service utilization barriers(r=-.20). 3. By using stepwise multiple regression analysis it was determined that the main influencing factors on the HPLP score were self-efficacy(27.2%), social support(5.3%), age(5.3%) and perceived health status(2.9%). These variables made it possible to explain 40.7% of variance in HPLP score.

This study was conducted to investigate housewives' perception, interest and consumption of health drinks made in a health food stores, and to assess the relationsh- ip between nutritionally-related-variables and the consumption of health drinks. Data was collected from 518 housewives in Chonnam province. Among many items which housewives perceived about health drinks, three factors of 'preference·health-care', ' quality·convenience' and 'price' were found to be represented. Housewives' perception of 'preference·health-care' was negatively correlated with nutritional knowledge. However, a positive correlation between the 'quality·convenience' and eating habits was found. Consumption of health drinks was positively correlated with the diet management score, the perception and interest in health drinks. However, the inverse relationship between consumption of health drinks and nutritional knowledge was observed. Multiple regression analysis showed that the interest and factors of perception of health drinks. Consumption of health drinks was not based upon accurate knowledge concerning nutrition, but was based upon the consumers' perception of taste preference and healthful quality. Therefore, there is a need to educate consumers about the nutritional value of health drinks and how to use nutritional supplements.

Objectives: This study, investigated the satisfaction of patients who received the procedure using an implant guide to identify factors affecting satisfaction in dental hospitals and clinics in Jeollanam-do. Methods: From December 2021 to February 2022, questionnaires randomly were collected from 128 patients aged 20 to 90 years visiting dental hospitals and clinics using surgical guides in some areas of Jeollanam-do. Results: There was a negative correlation between the overall satisfaction average and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain level (r=-0.414, p<0.001), and a negative correlation between VAS pain level and VAS satisfaction (r=-0.273, p<0.05), As subjective pain decreased, subjective satisfaction increased, and as subjective pain increased, the overall satisfaction average also decreased, showing an inverse correlation. Factors affecting satisfaction with the guide for implant surgery were whether you would like to recommend it to people around you (β=0.556), whether you would like to explain the guide (β=0.194), and whether you thought it was good to receive the guide (β=0.199). Conclusions: Therefore, in order to increase the satisfaction of the implant surgical guide procedure, it is considered important to perform a sufficient explanation of the implant surgical guide before the procedure.
