Objective: This study performed a quantitative analysis using the real-time polymerase chain reaction technique to examine the oral microbial prevalence in adults and intended to examine the correlations between risk factors of periodontal disease and oral bacteria and correlation between oral test scores and oral microorganisms. Methods: We examined papillary marginal attached (PMA) index, modified patient hygiene performance (M-PHP) index, probing depth (PD), modified gingival index, and oral bacteria counts and surveyed 117, 20 years or older adult males and females who visited dental clinics in the Daejeon region to analyze the prevalence and oral health. Results: The prevalence was 100% for Fusobacterium nucleatum, meaning it was observed in all examined subject, 85.5% for Parvimonas micra, 76.1% for Prevotella intermedia, and 72.6% for Tannerella forsythia. The averages of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia increased as the examined subjects were older, and there was a statistically significant difference between T. forsythia and E. nodatum in relation to medical history, between P. intermedia and P. micra in relation to gender, and between P. intermedia and E. corrodens in relation to smoking (p<0.05). For a correlation between the oral test scores and oral microorganisms, P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum was highly correlated with PD (correlation coefficient of 0.51 and 0.41) (p<0.01) while P. gingivalis, P. micra, C. rectus, and E. nodatum were significantly correlated with M-PHP index, gingival index, PD, and PMA index (p<0.01, p<0.05). Conclusion: For oral health management of adults, the age, systemic disease, and smoking are closely related to oral bacteria, and P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, F. nucleatum, P. intermedia, P. micra, C. rectus, E. corrodens, and E. nodatum are considered to be the oral microorganisms that indicate periodontal health.

Intermolecular interactions were studied for binary mixtures of 2-propanol + cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, o-, m- and p-xylenes by measuring ultrasonic speeds (u) over the entire range of composition at 298.15 K and 308.15 K. From these results the deviation in ultrasonic speed was calculated. These results were fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation to derive the binary coefficients along with standard deviations between the experimental and calculated data. Acoustic parameters such as excess isentropic compressibility ($K_s^E$), intermolecular free length ($L_f$) and available volume ($V_a$) were also derived from ultrasonic speed data and Jacobson's free length theory. The ultrasonic speed data were correlated by Nomoto's relation, Van Dael's mixing relation, impedance dependence relation, and Schaaff's collision factor theory. Van Dael's relation gives the best prediction of u in the binary mixtures containing aliphatic hydrocarbons. The ultrasonic speed data and isentropic compressibility were further analyzed in terms of Jacobson's free length theory.

현재 인터넷윤리교육은 통합적 도덕성을 바탕으로 한 윤리교육 모델에 기반하여 이루어지고 있다. 즉 인지적인 영역과 행동적인 영역이 상관관계를 가지고 윤리적 인지가 도덕적 행동으로 실행될 것으로 기대한 학습모델이다. 그러나 인터넷윤리교육이 범국민적으로 추진되고 있지만, 정보화의 역기능으로 인한 문제는 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효과적인 인터넷윤리교육에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 윤리적 인지와 도덕적 행동이 관련이 있는지 분석하였다. 현실에서의 도덕적 행동에 관한 측정 도구는 '도덕 판단력', 인터넷 상에서의 도덕적 행동은 '정보윤리 판단력', 인터넷에서의 윤리적 인지는 '인터넷윤리의식' 자가진단 도구를 사용하여 수준을 측정하고 이들 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과 대학생들의 도덕 판단력과 정보윤리 판단력, 인터넷윤리의식 수준은 전반적으로 현저히 낮았다. 도덕 판단력과 정보윤리 판단력은 약한 상관관계를 가지고 있어 현실에서의 행동과 인터넷 상에서의 행동은 거의 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 정보윤리 판단력, 인터넷윤리의식 간에도 유의미한 상관관계가 없었다. 즉 인터넷 상에서의 인지와 행동은 상관관계가 없으므로, 인터넷윤리교육은 윤리적인지가 윤리적 행동으로 이어진다는 이론에 근거한 윤리교육학습 모델과는 다른 교육모델을 기반으로 수행되어야 한다. 인터넷윤리교육은 윤리적 인식과 도덕적 행동을 각각 중요한 교수영역으로 다루어야 한다.

사회심리적인 모형인 구강건강신념모형이 예방적인 측면에서 구강건강행위에 영향을 미치므로 구강건강신념을 구성하는 요소와 구강건강관련 행동간의 관련성을 규명하고자 초등학교 고학년 490명을 대상으로 개별자기기입방식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 통계프로그램 SPSS 14.0을 활용하여 T-test, 일변량 T검정, One-way ANOVA, 피어슨 상관분석을 하여 나타난 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 일반적 특성에 따른 구강건강신념은 유의한 차이가 없었으나 구강보건행동은 하루 칫솔질 횟수에서 여자가 남자보다 유의하게 조금 더 높았으며, 연간 치과의료기관 방문 횟수는 고학년일수록 유의하게 낮았다(p < 0.01). 2. 학생들의 구강건강신념과 구강건강행동의 상관관계에서 하루 칫솔질 횟수는 감수성, 장애도와 부의 미미한 상관성을 나타내었다. 그리고 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수는 감수성, 심각성과 정의 미미한 상관성을 나타났었고, 하루 우식성식품 섭취횟수는 감수성, 심각성, 장애도와 정의 미미한 상관성를 나타내었으나 유익성과는 부의 미미한 상관성을 나타내었다. 3. 구강건강신념간의 상관관계는 감수성을 높게 느낄수록 심각성과 장애도는 높게 나타나지만 유익성은 낮아지며, 심각성을 높게 느낄수록 장애도는 높아지는 반면에 유익성은 낮아졌다. 또한 유익성이 높을수록 중요도는 높아지는 반면 장애도는 낮아졌다. 이상의 결과에서 알 수 있듯이 자신의 구강질환에 대한 인식의 정도나 구강상태를 심각하게 생각할수록 하루 우식성식품 섭취횟수와 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수는 많았으나 칫솔질 횟수는 낮았다. 이는 칫솔질을 적게 하거나 우식성식품 섭취횟수와 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수가 많을수록 자신의 구강상태가 나쁠 것이라는 생각을 하고 있으며, 치과진료에 대한 장애를 많이 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 미루어보아 구강건강신념과 구강건강행동은 서로 상호 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있으나 강한 상관성은 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 자기주도적 행동이 시작되는 초등학교 고학년의 올바른 구강건강신념 및 구강건강행동을 유도하기 위해서는 보다 적극적인 전문가에 의한 지속적이고 체계적인 학교구강보건 교육프로그램이 강화되어야 하겠다.

Using I-band images of 35 nearby (z < 0.1) type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) obtained with Hubble Space Telescope, selected from the 70-month Swift-BAT X-ray source catalog, we investigate the photometric properties of the host galaxies. With a careful treatment of the point-spread function (PSF) model and imaging decomposition, we robustly measure the I-band brightness and the effective radius of bulges in our sample. Along with black hole (BH) mass estimates from single-epoch spectroscopic data, we present the relation between BH mass and I-band bulge luminosity (M_BH-M_I,bul relation) of our sample AGNs. We find that our sample lies offset from the M_BH-M_I,bul relation of inactive galaxies by 0.4 dex, i.e., at a given bulge luminosity, the BH mass of our sample is systematically smaller than that of inactive galaxies. We also demonstrate that the zero point offset in the M_BH-M_I,bul relation with respect to inactive galaxies is correlated with the Eddington ratio. Based on the Kormendy relation, we find that the mean surface brightness of ellipticals and classical bulges in our sample is comparable to that of normal galaxies, revealing that bulge brightness is not enhanced in our sample. As a result, we conclude that the deviation in the M_BH-M_I,bul relation from inactive galaxies is possibly because the scaling factor in the virial BH mass estimator depends on the Eddington ratio.

Fatty acid profiles in relation to meat quality traits and sensory palatability of grain-fed and grass-fed beef from Hanwoo, American, and Australian crossbred cattle were examined in this study. There were significant (p<0.001) differences in fat content and fatty acid compositions between grain-fed and grass-fed beef. Grain-fed Hanwoo had significantly (p<0.001) lower saturated fatty acid (SFA) proportion but higher monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) proportion compared to grass-fed cattle. The proportion of oleic acid in grain-fed Hanwoo was significantly (p<0.001) higher than that in grass-fed Hanwoo, Australian crossbred, or American crossbred cattle. Grain-fed Hanwoo had significantly (p<0.001) lower percentages of drip loss and cooking loss compared to other cattle. Overall palatability panel scores of grain-fed cattle were significantly (p<0.001) higher than those of grass-fed cattle. Consequently, sensory overall palatability was negatively correlated with proportions of SFA and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), but positively correlated with the proportion of MUFA. In particular, the proportion of oleic acid was strongly and positively correlated with fat content (r=0.91, p<0.001) and overall palatability (r=0.92, p<0.001). These results implied that high-concentrate grain-fed could increase intramuscular fat (IMF) content and the proportion of oleic acid, thus increasing the sensory palatability of Hanwoo beef.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation of social support and aggression of early adolescents. The subject were 220 adolescents aged 11 & 14 years, who were enrolled 11 child welfare facilities or 6 public schools(3 elementary & 3 middle schools) in Seoul. That is, 110 institutionalized(IA) & 110 middle class home-reared adolescent (HA)s were examined. They subjects were asked to complete the questionnaire on social support and aggression. According to the results, 1)IAs perceived less support from peers or adults and showed more aggressive behaviors than HAs. 2)Significant sex difference was observed in aggression. Girls showed lower level of aggression than boys. 3)Adolescents' aggression was significantly correlated with social support. The more support from friends, classmates, and parents HAs perceive, the less aggression they reported. Though support from peers was correlated significantly only with anger expression, support from parents was correlated significantly with all the components of aggression. And the more support from friends and classmates HAs perceive, the less aggression they reported. These findings implicate that social support is a important factor in preventing aggressive behaviors of early adolescents.

Purpose: This study was implemented to investigate perceived illness intrusiveness in stroke patients by the characteristics of primary caregivers. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional survey design was used. The subjects were 225 stroke patients and their primary caregivers. Demographic variables, relationship variables, burden, depression and support were measured as primary caregivers' characteristics. Data were analyzed with SPSS win 14+. T-test, ANOVA and correlation test were used depending on variables. Result: Demographic variables such as age, gender, relation with patients, and living status were not related significantly with illness intrusiveness. But primary caregivers' burden, depression and support were related significantly with perceived illness intrusiveness of stroke patients. That is, burden, depression and quantitative support of primary caregivers were significantly positively correlated with perceived illness intrusiveness of stroke patients. On the other hand, qualitative support was negatively correlated with perceived illness intrusiveness. Conclusion: Primary caregivers' characteristics such as burden, depression and support were found to be correlated with stroke patients perception such as illness intrusiveness. So, it is recommended that nursing intervention targeting burden, depression and support of primary caregivers must be developed to reduce illness intrusiveness of stroke patients.

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSC) have been described in a variety of malignancies, including breast carcinomas. Among several markers, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) has been identified as reliable for breast cancer stem cells. Knockdown of BRCA1 in primary breast epithelial cells leads to an increase in cells expressing ALDH1. Methods: We examined 127 breast carcinomas for expression of ALDH1, using immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinicopathological parameters as well as the BRAC1 status. Results: Comparing the results for both ALDH1 and BRCA1 expression showed a significant inverse association between the two, indicating that reduced BRCA1 was more often seen in breast cancer cells expressing ALDH1 (p-value = 0.044). A total of 24/110 (22%) of tumours displayed the ALDH1 + / BRCA1 -/low phenotype, which showed a trend for a relation with a high grade (p-value= 0.056). Cytoplasmic expression of ALDH1 was not correlated with tumour characteristics. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings suggest that increased ALDH1 is inversely correlated with decreased BRCA1 in a series of unselected breast carcinomas. Therefore, ALDH1 positive (cancer stem) cells with reduced BRCA1 phenotype may indicate a subset of patients for whom specific targeting of the CSC marker ALDH1 and more aggressive adjuvant treatment is appropriate.

Purpose: This study was designed to describe the nurses' knowledge and attitude about incidence reporting according to nursing organizational culture and organizational characteristics. Methods: The subjects of this study were 783 clinical nurses who were in A university hospital in Gyeonggi-Do. The data were collected from May, 20, 2009 to June, 2, 2009. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive methods, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression in SPSS win(12.0). Results: Nurses' knowledge and attitude about incidence reporting were positively correlated with innovation oriented culture, relation oriented culture, and culture of patient safety. And among characteristics of nursing organization, communication, decision making, centralization were positively correlated with nurses' knowledge and attitude about incidence reporting. But the most correlated factor with nurses' knowledge and attitude about incidence reporting was culture of patient safety. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that to encourage reporting incidence, there must be a organizational approach, such as creating a culture of patient safety, active participating decision making, and communication.
