Growth hormone (GH) plays a key role in regulating postnatal growth and can stimulate growth of animals by acting directly on specific receptors on the plasma membrane of tissues or indirectly through stimulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I synthesis and secretion by the liver and other tissues. IGF-I and IGF-Ⅱ are polypeptides with structural similarity with proinsulin that stimulate cell proliferation by endocrine, paracrine and autocrine mechanisms. The initial event in the metabolic action of IGFs on target cells appears to be their binding to specific receptors on the plasma membrane. Current evidence indicates that the mitogenic actions of both IGFs are mediated primarily by binding to the type I IGF receptors, and that IGF action is also mediated by interactions with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Six distinct IGFBPs have been identified that are characterized by cell-specific interaction, transcriptional and post-translational regulation by many different effectors, and the ability to either potentiate or inhibit IGF actions. Nutritional deficiencies can have their devastating consequence during growth. Although IGF-I is the major mediator of GH's action on somatic growth, nutritional status of an organism is a critical regulator of IGF-I and IGFBPs. Various nutrient deficiencies result in decreased serum IGF-I levels and altered IGFBP levels, but the blood levels of GH are generally unchanged or elevated in malnutrition. Effects of protein, energy, vitamin C and D, and zinc on serum IGF and IGFBP levels and tissue mRNA levels were reviewed in the text. Multiple factors are involved in the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell growth and differentiation. Among these factors the nutritional status of individuals is the most important. The intestinal epithelium is an important site for mitogenic action of the IGFs in vivo, with exogenous IGF-I stimulating mucosal hyperplasia. Therefore, the IGF system appears to provide and important mechanism linking nutrition and the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. In order to study the detailed mechanisms by which intestinal mucosa is regulated, we have utilized IEC-6 cells, an intestinal epithelial cell line and Caco-2 cells, a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. Like intestinal crypt cells analyzed in vivo or freshly isolated intestinal epithelial cells, IEC-6 cells and Caco-2 cells possess abundant quatities of both type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ IGF receptors. Exogenous IGFs stimulate, whereas addition of IGFBP-2 inhibits IEC-6 cell proliferation. To investigate whether endogenously secreted IGFBP-2 inhibit proliferation, IEC-6 cells were transfected with a full-length rat IGFBP-2 cDNA anti-sense expression construct. IEC-6 cells transfected with anti-sense IGFBP-2 protein in medium. These cells grew at a rate faster than the control cells indicating that endogenous IGFBP-2 inhibits proliferation of IEC-6 cells, probably by sequestering IGFs. IEC-6 cells express many characteristics of enterocyte, but do not undergo differentiation. On the other hand, Caco-2 cells undergo a spontaneous enterocyte differentiation. On the other hand, Caco-2 cells undergo a spontaneous enterocyte differentiation after reaching confluency. We have demonstrated that Caco-2 cells produce IGF-Ⅱ, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and an as yet unidentified 31,000 Mr IGFBP, and that both mRNA and peptide secretion of IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3 increased, but IGFBP-4 mRNA and protein secretion decreased after the cells reached confluency. These changes occurred in parallel to and were coincident with differentiation of the cells, as measured by expression of sucrase-isomaltase. In addition, Caco-2 cell clones forced to overexpress IGFBP-4 by transfection with a rat IGFBP-4 cDNA construct exhibited a significantly slower growth rate under serum-free conditions and had increased expression of sucrase-isomaltase compared with vector control cells. These results indicate that IGFBP-4 inhibits proliferation and stimulates differentiation of Caco-2 cells, probably by inhibiting the mitogenic actions of IGFs.

어유를 섭취하였을 때, 체내 과산화물 생성과 항산화 기능을 조사하며, 그 결과를 다른 식이지방과 비교하기 위하여, 고등어유, 대두유, 쇠기름, 들기름, 채종유의 5 종의 지방을 먹이의 10% 되게 식이를 조제하여 70g 내외의 암, 수컷의 흰쥐에게 섭취시켰다. 출생후 초기 성장시에 적응도를 관찰하기 위하여, 위의 쥐들을 34일간 조제식이로 사육한후, 교배시켜 출생한 2 대째 쥐들을 수유시기(17일, 26일)과 이유시기(39일)에 희생시키고, 출산, 수유를 마친 어미쥐(나이 123일, 총 식이일수 81일)를 희생하여 간과 뇌조직의 지질과산화물, $\alpha$-tocopherol, glutathione 양을 정량하고, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase의 활성을 측정하였다. 간조직의 지질과산화물 값은 고등어유를 섭취한 어미쥐와 수유기(17, 26일)의 새끼쥐들에게서 타군에 비해 높았으나 39일의 새끼쥐에서는 채종유보다는 높았으나 대두유, 들기름군과 같은 수준이었다. 뇌조직에서는 간에 차이가 거의없었다. 간조직의 $\alpha$-tocopherol 농도와 환원형의 glutathione(GSH) 의 농도가 어미쥐에서 타군에 비해 현저히 낮았고, 새끼쥐에서도 $\alpha$-tocopherol 경우는 같은경향이나 그 정도가 덜 현저하며, GSH의 경우는 타군들과 차이가 없었다. 산화형 glutathioe (GSSG)의 농도는 어미쥐, 새끼쥐모두에서 식이지방에 따른 차이가 일관성 있게 나타나지 않았다. Glutathione peroxidase 활성은 간장과 뇌조직에서 성장과정중의 새끼쥐들에서 모두 약간씩 증가하였고, 채종유군에서 타군에 비해 증가정도가 낮아 활성이 39일에 현저히 낮았다. Superoxide dismutase 의 활성은 성장기간에 따른 변화는 적었고, 고등어유군이 타군에 비해 비교적 낮은값을 유지하였다. 어미쥐와 17일째 새끼쥐에서는 달리 26일과 39일째 새끼쥐의 간조직 glutathioe peroxidase 의활성이 지질과산화물 농도와 정의 상관관계가 보여져, 출생후 초기 성장과정에서 체내 적응성이 존재함을 나타내주었다.

This study was carried out to identify the differences between nursing needs and levels of satisfaction of postpartum women during the early postpartum period. The goal of this study was to obtain needed to develope the nursing quality for postpartum women. The subjects were 87 postpartum women who had vaginal delivery at 2 general hospital and 2 maternity hospital in the Ulsan City. The period for the data collection was from June 1 to 29, 1999. The data was gathered using an 98 items questionnaire which was a modified version of a questionnaire the developed by Y. J. Chun. Results found are as follows : 1.

Difference between the level of nursing needs and satisfaction was significant except item of 'early contacts with their baby and breast feeding'. 5. Among items of environmental care, the highest level of need and satisfaction were on the items of 'neat bedding and clothes(4.05, 4.21)' and 'room cleansing or care of room(4.01, 4.28)'. Differences between the level of nursing care and satisfaction were 'room cleansing of care of room'. 6. Among items of educational needs on self care, 'sitz bath method(4.22)', 'high risk symptoms to immediate clinic visits(4.13)', 'the timing of tub bath(4.05)' and 'good secretion of breast milk(4.03)', showed high nursing needs, 'sitz bath method(4.22)' showed high satisfaction of nursing care. Differences between the level of nursing care and satisfaction were 'the timing of hair shampoo', 'the timing of tub bath', ' the method of pad change', 'postpartum exercise', 'good secretion of breast milk', 'maintenance of breast figure', 'contraindicated drugs in postpartum women', 'kegel exercise' and 'breast self examination'. 7. Among items of educational needs on infant care, 'immunization of infants(4.36)', 'symptoms of sickness to immediate clinic visits(4.28)'. 'safety and emergency care(4.28)', 'umbilical care(4.26)', 'feeding times and intervals(4.24)', 'normal growth and development of infant(4.24)' and 'infection control(4.22)', showed high level of nursing care, 'immunization of infants(4.21)', 'feeding times and intervals(4.17)', were high satisfaction items showed significant differences between the level of nursing care and satisfaction. 8. Relationship between nursing needs and levels of satisfaction among postpartum women were as follows : 1) Physical area : There were no significant differences in the level of nursing needs, but satisfaction levels were significantly different among 'working mothers', 'baby's weights', 'baby's sex', 'planning of feeding' and 'routes of receiving postpartum informations'. 2) Emotional and psychological area : The level of nursing needs were significantly different in the area of 'confidence in self care'. Satisfaction levels were significantly different among 'baby's sex', 'baby's weights', 'the confidence of infant care' and 'working mother'. 3) Environment area : There were on significant differences in the level of nursing needs, but satisfaction levels were significantly different among 'maternal age' and 'baby's weights'. 4) Education in self care : The level of nursing needs were significantly different among 'parity history' and 'type of family formation'. Satisfaction levels were significantly different among 'working mother', 'baby's sex', 'antenatal care', 'postpartum education', 'planning of feeding', 'routes of receiving postpartum informations'. 5) Education in infant care area : The level of nursing needs were significantly different among 'parity history'. Satisfaction levels were significantly different among 'baby's sex', 'receiving postpartum education or not' and 'working mother'.

망막색소변성(retinitis pigmentosa: RP)과 연령관련 황반변성(age-related macular Degeneration: AMD)은 망막변성으로 인해 실명에 이르는 대표적인 질환이며 망막이식장치의 개발을 통해 치료될 수 있다고 간주되고 있다. 성공적인 망막이식장치 개발을 위하여 여러 가지 선결요소가 필요하지만 그 중 한 가지가 이식장치에 인가할 전기자극을 최적화하는 것이다. 변성망막의 전기적 특성은 정상 망막과 다르리라 예측되므로 우리는 장차 개발될 망막 이식장치에 인가할 전기자극 최적화를 위한 가이드라인을 제공하기 위해 정상 망막과 변성망막의 망막파형 차이에 관한 연구를 하였다. 망막을 분리한 후 망막절편을 신경절세포 층이 다채널전극의 표면을 향하게 하여 전극에 붙인다. In-vitro 상태에서 망막 신경절세포의 전기신호를 기록하기 위해 전극 직경: $30{\mu}m$, 전극간 거리: $200{\mu}m$, 전극 임피던스 1 kHz에서 50 $k{\Omega}$인 8행 8열의 다채널전극을 사용하였다. 생후 28일된 정상마우스(C57BL/6J 종)에서는 짧은 시간대(<2 ms)의 망막 스파이크만 기록되었다. rd/rd 마우스(C3H/HeJ 종)에서는 정상적인 스파이크뿐만 아니라 약 100 ms 의 시간대를 가지는 느린 파형이 같이 기록되었다. 우리는 rd/rd 마우스에서만 관찰되는 이 느린 파형의 기전을 알아보고자 여러 가지 시냅스억제제를 사용하였다. 이 느린 파형은 rd/rd 마우스에서 양극세포로부터 신경절세포로 들어오는 흥분성입력이 정상마우스보다 강화되었기 때문에 발생한 것으로 보인다. rd/rd 마우스에서 흥분성입력이 강화되는 여러 가능성 중에서 망막변성으로 인해 수평세포로부터 양극세포로 들어오는 억제성 입력이 소실됨으로 인해 결과적으로 양극세포로부터 신경절세포로 들어오는 흥분성입력이 강화되었을 가능성이 가장 높은 것으로 보인다.

Care is a central concept of nursing. Nursing would not exist without caring. Care and quality of life are closely related. Human behavior is a manifestation of culture. We can say that caring and nursing care are expression of culture. The nurse must understand the relationship of culture with care for ensure quality nursing care. But knowledge of cultural factors in nursing is not well developed. Time and in - depth study are needed to find meaningful relationships between culture and care. Nurses recognized the importance of culturally appropriate nursing There are two care systems in culturally based nursing. The folk care system and the professional nursing care system. The folk care system existed long before the professional nursing care system was introduced into this culture. If the discrepancy between these two care systems is great, the client may receive inappropriate nursing care. Culture and subcaltures are diverse and dynamic in nature. Nurses need to know the caring behaviors, patterns, and their meaning in their own culture. In Korea we have taken some first step to study cultural nursing phenomena. It is not our intent necessarily to return to the past and develop a nationalistic of nursing, but to identify the core of traditional caring and relate that to professional nursing care. Our Assumptions are as follows : 1) Care is essential for human growth, well being and survial. 2) 7here are diverse and universal forma, expressions, patterns, and processes of human care that exist transcul - turally. 3) The behaviors and functions of caring differ according to the social structure of each culture. 4) Cultures have folk and professional care values, beliefs, and practices. To promote the quality of nursing care we must understand the folk care value, beliefs, and practices. We undertook this study to understand caring in our traditional culture. The Goals of this study were as follows : 1) To identify patterns in caring behavior, 2) To identify the structural components of caring, and 3) To understand the meaning and some principles of caring. We faised several questions in this study. Who is the care-giver? Who is the care-receipient? Was the woman the major care -giver at any time? What are the patterns in caring behavior? What art the priciples underlying the caring process? We used an interdisciplinary team approach, composed of representatives from nursing and anthropology, to contribute in -depth understanding of caring through a socicaltural perspeetive. A Field study was conducted in Ro-Bong, a small agricultural kinship village. The subjects were nine women and one man aged be or more years of age. Data were collected from january 15 to 21, 1990 through opem-ended in-depth interviews and observations. The interview focused on caring behaviors sorrounding birth, aging, death and child rearing. We analysed these data for meaning, pattern and priciples of caring. In this report we describe caring behaviors surrounding childbirth. The care-givers were primarily mothers- in -low, other women in the family older than the mother - to- be, older neighbor woman, husbands, and mothers of the mother-to- be. The care receivers were the mother-to-be the baby, and the immediate family as a component of kinship. Emerging caring behavior included praying, helping proscribing, giving moral advice(Deug - Dam), showing concern, instructing, protecting, making preparations, showing consideration, touching, trusting, encouraging, giving emotional comfort, being with, worrying about, being patient, preventing problems, showing by an example, looking after bringing up, taking care of postnatal health, streng thening the health condition, entering into another's feelings(empathizing), and sharing food, joy and sorrow The emerging caring component were affection, touching, nurtuing, teaching, praying, comforting, encouraging, sharing. empathizing, self - discipline, protecting, preparing, helping and compassion. Emerging principles of. caring were solidarity, heir- archzeal relationships, sex - role distinction. Caring during birth expresses the valve of life and reflects the valued traditional beliefs that human birth is given by god and a unique unifying family event reaching back to include the ancestors and foreward to later generations. In addition, We found positive and rational foundations for traditionl caring behaviors surrounding birth, these should not be stigmatized as inational or superstitious. The nurse appropriately adopts the rational and positive nature of traditional caring behaviors to promote the quality of nursing care.

It is widely recognized that primary health care in the community is one of the most important and effective health measures in these days. However, it is reality that unsatisfactory health care system, ineffective utilization of health care by the community people in the rural area are hampering better understanding for primary health care. Therefore promoting health for the rural people and increasing understanding about primary health care, the baseline survey in the community focused in examination for safe community water supply was carried out. The survey was conducted through August 25-31, 1986 in order to find out health problems and relevant factors and to define the demographic characteristics of $^*$Sanpuk village, Kumsa-Myun, Yuju-Gun, Kyunggi-Do, Korea.
