The purpose of this study was to examine parents' perceptions towards, and the importance and performance levels of, foodservices in child-care centers and to suggest ways to increase foodservice quality and promote efficient operations in the future. A questionnaire survey was provided to 540 parents and the return rates 82%. The survey period was from June 20 to July 27,2007. The collected data were statistically analyzed with the SAS package program using descriptive statistical analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple comparisons, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows: The parents perceived that foodservice operations promoted their children's health and helped them form desirable dietary habits. The parents also had a high level of perception toward the need for foodservice, earning greater than 4.5 points out of 5 points. Their perceptions of foodservice quality were examined by four dimensions of importance and performance levels. While the parents gave 4 points or greater of 5 points to most quality attributes of importance level, they gave 4 points of less out of 5 points to most quality attributes of performance level. As for the importance and performance levels of the quality dimensions of meal service, the parents regarded sanitation as the most important dimension. IPA showed that 'organic food materials' was included as a 'focus here' area. The overall satisfaction level for foodservice was 3.59 out of 5 points. A higher level of satisfaction was shown when a dietitian was present as well as in public childcare centers. According to multiple regression analysis, 53.51% of the variance in the respondents' overall satisfaction scores was explained by factors such as food, sanitation, environment, and foodservice effects.

Human coronavirus diseases, particularly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, still remain a persistent public health issue, and many recent studies are focusing on the quest for new leads against coronaviruses. To contribute to this growing pool of knowledge and explore the available marine natural products against coronaviruses, this study investigated the antiviral effects of fucoxanthin isolated from Sargassum siliquastrum-a brown alga found on Jeju Island, South Korea. The antiviral effects of fucoxanthin were confirmed in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-infected Vero cells, and its structural characteristics were verified in silico using molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations and in vitro colorimetric method. Fucoxanthin inhibited the infection in a concentration-dependent manner, without showing cytotoxicity. Molecular docking simulations revealed that fucoxanthin binds to the angiotensinconverting enzyme 2-spike protein (binding energy -318.306 kcal mol^-1) and main protease (binding energy -205.118 kcal mol^-1). Moreover, molecular dynamic simulations showed that fucoxanthin remains docked to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-spike protein for 20 ns, whereas it breaks away from main protease after 3 ns. Also, the in silico prediction of the fucoxanthin was verified through the in vitro colorimetric method by inhibiting the binding between angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 and spike protein in a concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that fucoxanthin exhibits antiviral effects against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 by blocking the entry of the virus. Therefore, fucoxanthin from S. siliquastrum can be a potential candidate for treating coronavirus infection.

Background: This study investigated the association between obesity and cardiometabolic disease clusters in Korean adults aged 19-39 years. Methods: We included 3,785 participants (1,767 men and 2,018 women) aged 19-39 years who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2020-2022). The risk factors for cardiometabolic disease were defined as follows: high blood pressure; hypertriglyceridemia; hyperuricemia; and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high fasting plasma glucose, elevated alanine aminotransferase levels. Results: The prevalence of participants with ≥ 1, ≥ 2, and ≥ 3 cardiometabolic disease risk factors was 95.2%, 84.2%, and 65.6% in men and 90.0%, 70.5%, and 43.0%, in women with class 2-3 obesity, respectively. Compared to those for young adults with underweight/normal weight, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors were 17.26 (8.32-35.80) for ≥ 1; 19.43 (12.18-31.00) for ≥ 2; and 22.93 (14.15-37.15) for ≥ 3 factors in men with class 2-3 obesity and 14.67 (8.00-26.91) for ≥ 1; 20.88 (12.15-35.88) for ≥ 2; and 36.26 (20.20-65.09) for ≥ 3 factors in women with class 2-3 obesity. Conclusion: Although the patients were young, the prevalence and ORs for cardiometabolic disease risk factor clusters in young adults with obesity were prominently high. Prevention and management of obesity in young Korean adults are urgently needed at both individual and public levels.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic resection has become the preferred treatment approach for select early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); however, the epidemiology of early stage disease has not been well defined. Methods: Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data were analyzed to determine age-adjusted incidence rates among major epithelial carcinomas, including EAC, from 1973 to 2017. The percent change in incidence over time was compared according to tumor subtype. Early T-stage, node-negative EAC without metastasis was examined from 2004 to 2017 when precise T-stage data were available. Results: The percent change in annual incidence from 1973 to 2017 was 767% for EAC. Joinpoint analysis showed that the average annual percent change in EAC from 1973 to 2017 was 5.11% (95% confidence interval, 4.66%-5.56%). The annual percent change appeared to plateau between 2004 and 2017; however, early EAC decreased from 2010 to 2017, with an annual percent change of -5.78%. Conclusions: There has been a 7-fold increase in the incidence of EAC, which was significantly greater than that of the other major epithelial malignancies examined. More recently, the incidence of early EAC has been decreasing. Approximately one in five patients has node negative, potentially resectable early stage disease.

The result of the survery is as follows: 1) Among the above pregnant women, primigravida constituted 91 women and multigravida 92 women. As for the month of pregnancy, those who have been pregnant for ten months numbered 43 women (23.5%), which was the highest number. As for age, those who were 25 to 29 years old constituted 63.9% , which was the highest in percentage. 2) As for the level of education, those who graduated from high school constituted 49.2%, which was the highest in percentage. As for occuptation, those who were entirely in charge of household affairs as housewives were 89.6% , which comprised most of the jobs held by the above women. 3) As for the composition of a family in environmental food and nutrition, one generation was 68.3%, and two member family was 42.6% which was the highest. As for those taking rare of cooking and serving meals, housewives constituted 95.1%. 4) As for the economic situation of dietary life, those who were in the highest level (A level), were 47.0% in an urban area and 41.0% in a rural area, which were the highest in percentage. 5) The food which the above people selected after being pregnant was fruit not only in an urban area, but also in a rural area. And in terms of the percentage of fruit, an urban area and a rural area showed 44.0% and 54.2% respectively. As for milk, and urban area and a rural area showed 28.0% and 8.4% respecitively, which disclosed that the rate of a rural area was much lower than that of an urban area. 6) As for the number of food intake, 10-14 was 54.0% in an urban area, which was the highest. And 5-9 was 73.5% in a rural area, which was the highest. 7) As for the composition of food taken according to the number of food taken, meat showed the lowest rate in 5-9 group. (p<0.05) As the number of food taken increased, the rate of food taken (points) increased (2.4). Milk and milk products showed a low rate in 5-9 group and 15-19 group (p<0.05). Fruit intake showed a similar rate in all groups. As for vegetables, the rate of intake was high, as the number of food taken increased. Cereals showed a similar rate in all groups. Ans the points of intake was high. As for fat, the rate of intake was high, as the number of food taken increased. 8) In 5-9 group in the number of food intake, energy was 79.9% of RDA, protein was 64.9%, fat was 90.0%, carbohydrate was 81.6%, iron was 83.0%, calcium was 71.1%, vitamin A was 94.3%, vitamin $B_1$ was 77.8%, vitamin $B_2$ was 79.2%, and vitamin C was 88.2%, so that it showed the lowest sufficiency rate RDA. 15-19 group maintained the balance in energy and all nutrients nealy.

골담초, 작약, 백출, 감초, 맥아, 곡아, 산사의 한약재 추출물로 제조한 식혜의 관능검사와 이들 한약재 추출물이 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐의 간기능과 간 조직내 지질함량에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고자, 생후 7주령 숫쥐를 정상식이군(C군), 고지방식이군(HF군, 5% 대두유, 15% 쇠기름, 1% 콜레스테롤을 첨가한 식이) 및 고지방식이에 저농도와 고농도의 한약재 추출물을 각각 5% 첨가한 식이군(HFE I군, HFE II군)인 4군으로 나누었다. 한약재 추출물로 제조한 식혜의 관능검사와 실험식이로 8주간 사육한 결과는 다음과 같다. 식혜의 관능검사 결과는 저농도에 비해서 고농도의 한약재추출물로 제조한 경우 전체적인 풍미와 기호도 점수가 높은 점수를 보였다. 제조된 식혜의 영양소 함량은 시판되는 산업용 식혜에 비해서 열량, 탄수화물 그리고 단순당의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 동물실험에 있어서는 고지방식이에 의해 높아진 체중증가량에 대하여 한약재 추출물은 아무런 영향을 미치지 못하였다. GOT 활성도는 C군은 27.2${\pm}$3.83 karmen/ml, HF군은 66.7${\pm}$13.0 karmen/ml으로 고지방식이의 섭취 시 GPT 활성도는 p<0.05 수준에서 증가되었다. 그러나 HFE II 군의 GOT 활성도는 44.5${\pm}$16.1 karmen/ml로 HF군 (66.7${\pm}$13.0 karmen/ml)과 HFE I군(62.6${\pm}$5.61 karmen/ml)에 비해서 p<0.05 수준에서 낮은 활성도를 보였다. 또한 GPT 활성도는 C군에서 17.8${\pm}$4.61 karmen/ml로 가장 낮은 활성도를 보인 반면에, HF군에서는 52.8${\pm}$5.64 karmen/ml로 가장 높은 활성도를 보였다. 그러나 한약재 추출물 I과 II의 공급으로 GPT의 활성도를 다소 낮출 수 있었으나 정상 수준은 미치지 못하였다. 간 조직내 중성지질 함량에 있어서 C군은 63.7${\pm}$17.2 mg, HF 군은 136.9${\pm}$24.3 mg 로 고지방식이에 의해 중성지질 증가 현상이 나타났다 (p<0.05). 그러나 한약재 추출물 공급군인 HFE I 군과 HFE II 군의 중성 지질 함량이 각각 58.3${\pm}$13.8 mg과 51.1${\pm}$9.68 mg으로 C군과 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 간 조직내 총콜레스롤 함량에 있어서 C군의 22.8${\pm}$1.42 mg에 비해서 HF군은 40.8${\pm}$2.90 mg으로 고지방식이에 의해 간 조직내 콜레스테롤 함량은 p<0.05 수준에서 유의성 있게 증가되었다. 그러나 고지방 식이에 의한 고콜레스테롤 증가 현상은 한약재 추출물 I과 한약재 추출물 II의 공급으로 각각 30.1%와 44.6% 콜레스테롤 저하효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 인지질 함량은 C군은 17.6${\pm}$9.40 mg/g으로 가장 높았고 그 다음으로 HFE I군(17.4${\pm}$ 9.40 mg/g), HFE II군(14.5${\pm}$2.13 mg/g), HF 군(11.8${\pm}$7.45 mg/g) 순으로 낮아졌으나, 모든 실험군간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 식혜에 첨가된 한약재 추출물이 고지방식이에 의한 간 기능 지표 활성도와 간 지질 대사를 다소 개선시켰으나 정상수준에는 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 2017년도 제 13차 청소년건강행태온라인조사 자료를 활용하여 우리나라 청소년의 가당음료 섭취실태를 파악하고 가당음료 섭취와 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련 행위, 심리적 특성 및 식습관과의 관련요인을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 가당음료 섭취빈도는 탄산음료, 고카페인 또는 에너지음료, 단맛이 나는 음료수에 대한 섭취빈도를 합산하여 산출하였으며, 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 인구사회학적 특성별 가당음료 섭취비율을 살펴보면 남학생과 여학생의 가당음료 섭취 비율의 차이를 나타냈으며, 중학생군과 고등학생군의 가당음료 섭취 비율에서도 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 아버지의 학력에서도, 주관적인 학업성적에서도 군간에 가당음료 섭취비율의 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 2. 건강행위별 가당음료를 섭취하는 비율은 흡연군과 비흡연군간에 차이를 나타냈으며, 음주군과 비음주군에서도 섭취 비율의 차이를 보였다. 또한 중강도 고강도운동 등의 신체활동군에서 비신체활동군과의 가당음료 섭취 비율의 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 3. 심리적 특성으로서 스트레스가 높거나 자살 생각 또는 슬픔이나 절망감을 경험한 군에서도 비경험군과 가당음료 섭취 비율이 다르게 나타났다. 4. 식습관 요인을 살펴보면 아침을 주 5일 이상 결식한 군과 비결식군간에, 패스트푸드, 라면, 과자를 일주일에 3회 이상 섭취 또는 편의점 슈퍼마켓 학교매점을 이용하여 식사를 한 경험이 일주일에 3회 이상 있는 군과 3회 미만인 군간에 가당음료 섭취비율의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 채소 반찬의 경우 매일 3회 이상 섭취한 군과 3회 미만으로 섭취한 군간에 가당음료 섭취비율도 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 5. 가당음료 섭취에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보고자 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 여학생보다 남학생이, 중학생보다 고등학생이, 아버지의 학력이 낮을수록, 주관적인 학업성적이 낮을수록, 흡연이나 음주를 하는 학생이 가당음료를 섭취할 가능성이 높았다. 또한 스트레스가 심하거나, 자살 생각 또는 슬픔이나 절망감을 경험한 학생들의 가당음료를 섭취할 가능성이 높게 분석되었다. 또한 아침을 자주 결식하거나, 패스트푸드, 라면, 과자 등 건강하지 못한 식품을 섭취하거나, 편의점, 슈퍼마켓, 학교매점에서 저녁을 간단히 먹는 학생들에게서도 가당음료 섭취 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 우리나라 청소년들의 가당음료 섭취와 인구사회학적 요인, 건강관련행위, 심리적 특성 및 식습관 등 여러 요인들과 연관성이 있음이 관찰되었다. 이러한 가당음료 섭취는 영양적으로 가치가 낮은 반면 칼로리는 높아 비만을 유도하고 각종 질환의 원인이 될 수 있다. 현재 정부에서 청소년들의 당류섭취량을 줄이기 위해 학교 내 또는 학교주변 어린이식품안전보호구역에서 탄산음료 또는 고카페인 함유 음료 판매를 금지하고 있으나, 학생들의 자의적 선택에 의해서 가당음료를 마시지 않도록 하기 위해서는 학교 영양교사나 급식영양사에 의하여 당류 섭취 감소를 위한 주기적인 영양교육이 이루어져야 할 것으로 본다.

연구배경 : 우리나라 국민을 대상으로 실시한 폐활량검사의 판정과 해석은 우리나라 국민을 대상으로 구한 폐활량 예측식이 사용되어야 한다. 그 동안 외국인을 대상으로 구한 폐활량 예측치가 사용되어 오류가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 전 국민을 대상으로 대표성 있고 신뢰할 수 있는 노력성 폐활량과 일초간 노력성 폐활량, 6초간 노력성 폐활량, 일초율에 대한 정상 예측식을 개발 하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 전 국민을 대상으로 층화표본 추출법을 사용하여 조사대상을 선정하였으며, 폐활량검사기와 검사방법, 검사과정, 결과의 선택을 미국흉부학회에서 권고하는 기준에 따라 체계적인 정도관리와 질관리를 실시하였다. 폐활량 검사를 실시한 대상자 4,816명 중에서 비흡연자이면서 폐활량에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 호흡기 질환 및 증상이 없고, 흉부방사선학적 검사에서 심폐 이상 소견이 없으면서, 폐활량에 영향을 미치는 유해인자에의 노출력이 없는 대상자는 1,212명으로 남자 206명, 여자 1,006명이었다. 이들은 지역과 연령별로 우리나라 국민을 대표할 수 있었다. 통계분석에서 혼합효과모델을 적용하여 AIC 값이 가장 작은 모델로서 남자와 여자에 공통적으로 포함된 변수들을 일반선형회귀분석에 적용하여 폐활량 예측식을 구하였다. 결 과 : 노력성 폐활량의 예측식은 남자 -4.8434 - 0.00008633*연령$^2$(년) + 0.05292*신장(cm) + 0.01095*체중(kg)이었으며, 여자 -3.0006 - 0.0001273 *연령$^2$(년) + 0.03951*신장(cm) + 0.006892*체중(kg)이었다. 일초간 노력성 폐활량의 예측식은 남자 -3.4132 -0.0002484*연령$^2$(년) + 0.04578*신장(cm)이었으며, 여자 -2.4114 - 0.0001920*연령$^2$(년) + 0.03558*신장(cm)이었다. 6초간 노력성 폐활량의 예측식은 남자 -4.4244 -0.0001367*연령$^2$(년) + 0.05156*신장(cm) + 0.008246*체중(kg)이었으며, 여자 -3.1433 - 0.0001442*연령$^2$(년) + 0.04018*신장(cm) + 0.007077*체중(kg)이었다. 일초율의 예측식은 남자 119.9004 - 0.3902*연령(년) - 0.1268*신장(cm)이었으며, 여자 97.8567 - 0.2800*연령(년) - 0.01564*신장(cm)이었다. 결 론 : 본 예측식은 미국흉부학회에서 제시하고 있는 연령과 신장 변수에 체중이 포함되어 차이가 있었다. 이러한 이유는 연령효과와 젊은 연령에서 신장과 체중이 급격하게 변화하는 체격효과가 복합적으로 작용하기 때문이라고 해석된다. 본 예측식과 다른 국내 및 국외 예측식을 비교할 때 본 예측식이 노력성 폐활량과 일초간 노력성 폐활량, 일초율의 예측치를 높게 추정하였으나 대부분 그 차이가 10% 이내로 비슷하였다. 코카시안인 백인을 대상으로 구한 외국의 예측식보다 본 연구의 정상 예측치가 낮지 않았다. 이러한 이유로는 우리나라 젊은 사람들의 체격조건의 변화와 함께 엄격한 정상인의 선정기준, 검사방법과 검사결과의 정도관리 및 질관리에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.

In order to obtain baseline data for the development of an educational program on breastfeeding, a survey was carried out to investigate infant feeding practices, the characteristics the subjects have in common, and the factors that influence the feeding methods among women in Seoul and the Chungbuk area. Subjects included 671 lactating mothers who visited public health centers or pediatric clinics between December 1999 and February 2000, and were interviewed using a questionnaire. The results were as follows : With respect to feeding methods, the incidence of breastfeeding, formula feeding, mixed feeding and formula feeding switched from breastfeeding was 20.6%, 29.8%, 11.6%, and 38.0%, respectively. With respect to the characteristics the subjects had in common, the incidence of women who planned their infants' feeding methods before pregnancy, during pregancy, and after delivery was 48.7%, 31.0％, and 20.3%, respectively. The incidence of women who started breastfeeding in the hospital after delivery was 38.8％. About seventy seven percet of the subjects had not previously attended an educational program on breastfeeding, and most of these wanted to participate in the future in an educational program to learn about breastfeeding. Some of the topics they were interested in were“Nutritional Management for Sufficient Breast Milk”(60.3%),“Breast Care”(25.0%), and“Correct Nursing Positions”(9.8%). Most (88.2%) of the women who breastfeed suffered from physical discomforts including discomfort of the waist, and legs and discomfort due to cracked or sore nipples. “Insufficient breast milk”was the main reason for breastfeeding cessation or for switching to formula feeding. With respect to formula feeding practices, the main reasons for selecting a specific brand of formula were“the same brand the hospital used after delivery”(34.3%) and“an advertised brand”(23.3%). The strongest factor for promoting breastfeeding was“the support of husband or parents”, next were “breastfeeding in the hospital after delivery”and“planning to breastfeed before pregnancy”in that order. The characteristics the subjects had in common relating to formula feeding were“mother's job”,“high economic level”,“Caesarian section”and “planning to breastfeed after delivery”. In conclusion, it is recommended that breastfeeding be pro-moted, and educational programs be developed and offered as soon as possible to each group which had unfavorable attitudes toward breastfeeding. In addition, the monitoring and supervision of formula advertisements is required to protect consumers from the adverse effects of exaggerated advertising.

The purposes of this study were 1) to investigate the importance level on factors affecting the foodservice management contract perceived by the clients in the office building, government and public offices and manufacturing company in Seoul and Kyungi 2) to compare the perceived importance levels of the present contract and future contract 3) to compare the perceived importance levels of the competitive bid with those of the private contract. To collect the data on the perceived importance level on the affecting the foodservice management contract, the questionnaires were developed by the delphi technique and modified by the pilot test. The questionnaires consisted of 4 categories and 19 items on the factors affecting the foodservice management contract and the importance level on the factors were measured by 5-likert scale. From March 12 to April 13 in 2003, the self-administrative questionnaires were mailed to 280 clients. The questionnaires were responded from the 50 clients (respondent rate: 25％). On the factors affecting the present contract and the future contract, among the 4 categories (the appropriateness of foodservice operation plan, the evaluation of the foodservice company, sales ability, the conditions of the cost in the contract), the importance level of the appropriateness of foodservice operation plan was higher than those of the other categories. In the comparison of the perceived importance level between the present contract and the future contract, the importance level of 4 items (sanitation and safety management plan, menu management plan, service management plan, food cost per meal) in the future contract were significantly higher than those in the present contract (p＜.01, p＜.05, p＜.05, p＜.01). There were the significant differences between the private contract and competitive bid on the factors affecting the present contract in the 3 items, which were $\ulcorner$renewal plan for interior and environment$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$strategic alliance with the contractor$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$lobby of the foodservice company$\lrcorner$ (p＜.05, p＜.05, p＜.05). And on the factors affecting the future contract, there were significant differences in the 2 items, which were $\ulcorner$renewal plan for interior and environment$\lrcorner$and $\ulcorner$cost per meal$\lrcorner$in comparing the competitive bid and private contract (p＜.05, p＜.01). The clients perceived the appropriateness of foodservice operation plan was more important than the other categories in the future foodservice management contract. It was proposed that the foodservice management contract company should focus on the foodservice operation to satisfy the customers and clients in order to get more contract in the future.
