The purpose of this study was to evaluate the canal preparation time, deviation of the apex (Zipping), and debridement effect of the canal of three canal preparation techniques. Thirty extracted 1st and 2nd molars were divided into 3 groups and each group was enlarged by ultrasonic, sonic or hand instrument. The specimens were examined under scanning electron microscope and light microscope. The results were as follows: 1. In the canal preparation time, ultrasonic group was the shortest, followed by sonic, hand group. All pairs of groups were significantly different at the 0.05 level. (P < 0.05) 2. In the deviation of the canal, no two groups were significantly different at the 0.05 level. (P > 0.05) 3. In the evaluation of debris scores, ultrasonic and sonic groups were better debridement effect than hand group in the fine canals. In the large canals, ultrasonic group was the best results, followed by sonic, hand group. 4. In the evaluation of smear layer scores, ultrasonic group was the best and sonic and hand group were same effect in the fine canals. In the large canals, three groups were same effect. 5. In the effect of the removal of predentin and pulpal debris, in the regardless of canal size, three groups were same and pulpal debris was not completely removed by either technique.

Poly(l-lactic acid)(PLLA) microspheres loaded with ampicillin sodium (AMP-Na_, .betha.-lactam antibiotic, were prepared by a w/o/w multiple emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The amounts of each component in three phases (inner water phase, organic phase, and outer water phase) wre carefully examined in the preparation of PLLA microspheres. The stirring rate, another preparation parameter, was also investigated for study on the effect of mechanical stress on the drug loading and morphology of PLLA microspheres. Most of the preparation parameters had a great influence on the drug loading, surface morphology and size distribution of PLLA microspheres. PLLA microspheres with 15.89 w/w% drug loading were subjected to the in vitro release experimet. The release of ampicillin sodium was constant at a rate of 1.68 $mug/ml/day$ per 1 mg of microspheres for 18 days initial burst effect.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate factors affecting preparation stage to quit smoking in men. Methods: Based on data from the Community Health Survey conducted in Chungbuk Province in 2008, we estimated rates and odds ratio (OR) of smoking cessation intention for 2,639 men who were current smokers. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors affecting preparation stage to quit smoking. Results: Among current male smokers, the rate of smoking cessation intention was 17.1%. The OR of factors affecting smoking cessation was as follows: Compared to men with middle school education, the OR for rate of smoking cessation intention in men with high school education was 1.47 (p=.018), and for college or higher, 1.55 (p=.017). Compared to being single, the OR for cohabitation after marriage was 1.61 (p=.011) and living alone after marriage, 2.23 (p=.005). The OR for attempt to quit smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke and participation in smoking education were 6.80 (p<.001), 1.32 (p=.020) and 1.69 (p=.005), respectively. Conclusion: Results of this study show that it is necessary to decrease exposure to secondhand smoke and to increase participation in smoking cessation education targeting current smokers to move them from precontemplation or contemplation stage to preparation stage.

A model system was used which enabled the same root canal system to be measured before and after coronal flaring of 51 extracted mandibular molars. The concavity of the distal surface of the mesial root was measured and the amount of reduction was compared after coronal flaring using step-back flared preparation, Gates-Glidden dirll or ultrasonic system(Quick-$\varepsilon$) at the furcation and apical 3mm from the furcation. The results were as follows: 1. The mean concavity of mesial root of manchbular molar was $0.73{\pm}0.27mm$ at the bifurcation and $0.65{\pm}0.23mm$ at the 3.0mm apical from the bifurcation. 2. The thickness of the root canal wall of the mesiobuccal canal was $1.08{\pm}0.26mm$ at the bifurcation and $1.00{\pm}0.23mm$ at the 3.0mm apical from the bifurcation. 3. The thickness of the root canal wall of the mesiolingual was $1.09{\pm}0.21mm$ at the bifurcation and $0.98{\pm}0.29mm$ at the 3.0mm apical from the bifurcation. 4. In the amount of reduction at the furcation and at the 3.0mm apical from the furcation there was no statistically significant difference between the step-back preparation and Gates-Glidden drill preparation, and ultrasonic preparation(P>0.05).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to systematically review and conduct meta-analysis on factors affecting career preparation behavior of Korean nursing students. Methods: Related articles published in Korean and English were collected based on search terms and converted into a numerical database. Data extraction, quality assessment and analysis including a systematic review and meta-analysis were completed. Results: The review included 27 studies. There were 25 factors influencing career preparation behavior of Korean nursing students. Factors were categorized into four sub-factors: personal, contextual, cognitive-emotional, and goal-related. In the meta-analysis of 27 articles the total effect size (ESr) was .34. The effect sizes of the four sub-factors were .37 for individual factors, .25 for situation factors, .34 for cognitive and emotional factors, and .41 for target factors. The main factors were .53 for career-related efficacy, .43 for self-leadership, and .43 for career decision level. Conclusion: Nursing students with high career-related efficacy and self-leadership are more likely to demonstrate career preparation behavior. Based on these results, educational institutions for nursing students must improve students' self-leadership and career effectiveness through education so that they can set career goals.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the career decision level and career preparation behavior of 2-3 and 4 year college students majoring in science and engineering. We used the raw data of KEEP(Korean Education & Employment Panel) survey. In the results, we found that the career decision level of the subjects had no relationship with gender, high school type, university level, and study fields. On the other hand, in terms of the career preparation behavior, male students had more concrete perception regarding future jobs and tasks in labor market than female counterparts. In addition, 4 year college students were more positive and directed to pursue the career search planning and activities than 2 or 3 year college students. Finally, the students who had high career decision level could identify future job-related tasks, direction, rewards, and skill matches. We suggested that early career education and counselling should be provided for freshman or sophomore level students majoring in science and engineering at colleges and universities.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics, and antimutagenicity of buchu(leek, Allium odorum) kimchi during fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar contents and pH of buchu kimchi were decreased during the fermentation. The reduction rate of reducing sugar of glutinous rice paste and shrimp added buvhu kimchi(GSBK) was faster than those of control buchu kimchi(CBK) and glutious rice paste added bucku kimchi(GBK). Acidity increased rapidly until 4 days,a nd optimum acidity (0.6%) of bucku kimchi was reached within 2 day. Also total bacterial and lactic acid bacterial counts greatly increased after 4 days of the fermentation. The numbers of lactic acid bacteria after 8 day- fermentation in CBK and GSBK, and 10 day-fermentation in GBK were the highest values, 4.5$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, 4.8$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml and 6.1$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, respectively. In the sensory evaluation, appearance of sample was good at 0 day, taste from overall quality of buchu kimchi were asquired the highest values at 6th day. The methanol extracts from buchu kimchi(GBK) showed antimutagenicity against aflatoxin {TEX}$B_{1}${/TEX}({TEX}$AFB_{1}${/TEX})in Salmonella typhimurium TA100. The inhibition ration were 58~69% with treatment of the 5% methanol extracts, and when the adding concentration increased the effect increased.
