The objective of this study were to examine the impact of medicaid coverage expansion policy aimed at improving access to primary care. The case-control study was conducted to compare preventable hospitalization(PH) rate in new medicaid recipients versus national health insurance(NHI) enrollees form 1996 to 2001. Rates of preventable hospitalization associated with ambulatory care sensitive conditions(ACSC) were calculated and standardized by age and sex. Multinomial logit regression model was used to control the confounding factors such as age, gender and charlson comorbidity index Annual PH rates in the new medicaid increased 1.64 times after medicaid expansion, with controling confounding factors. Meanwhile, annual PH rate in the NHI increased 1.68 times during the same period, with adjusting confounding factors. Current findings suggest that the new medicaid PH rate was less likely to rise than NHI PH rate after implementing medicaid expansion. This study is expected to provide policy-relevant evidence of medicaid expansion to include population with low income.

Aspirin is still the mainstay of antiplatelet therapy in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. However, some patients are not responsive to the antithrombotic action of aspirin. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and clinical characteristics of aspirin resistance in patients with cerebral infarction. We tested platelet function in 557 patients who had been treated with aspirin in J general hospital. Platelet function was tested using the multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (MEA). Platelet reactivity was expressed as area under the aggregation curve (AUC, U) and >30 AUC was defined as aspirin resistance. Aspirin resistance was detected in 16.2% patients. There was not any significant differences in age, gender between aspirin resistance and aspirin sensitive patients. WBC was significantly higher in patients with aspirin resistance (P < .05). HDL-cholesterol was significantly higher in patients with aspirin sensitive (P < .05). Aspirin resistance was positive correlation with platelet count (r =.314, P =.003). The prevalence of aspirin resistance in cerebral infarction was 16.2%, and platelet count were related with aspirin resistance.

Few studies have shown the correlation between metabolic syndrome and bone mineral density (BMD). The main pathogenic mechanisms of metabolic syndrome rely on chronic low-level inflammatory status and oxidative stress. There are few studies that examine the gender-specific effects of inflammation and antioxidants on BMD. In this study, we evaluated the relative contribution of these factors in patients with metabolic syndrome. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 67 men and 46 postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome; metabolic syndrome was defined as having three or more metabolic syndrome risk factors. BMD, body fat mass, and lean body mass were evaluated. We also examined the levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), adiponectin, vitamin E, and C in serum. Log-transformed hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in lumbar spine osteoporotic subjects than in normal subjects for women but not for men. There was no significant difference between the normal group and the osteoporotic group in other inflammatory markers. Stepwise regression analyses for BMD of the lumbar spine showed that lean body mass and vitamin E were significant determinants in men. Lean body mass and log-transformed hs-CRP were significant determinants in women Analysis for BMD of the femoral neck showed that lean body mass was a significant determinant for both men and women. There was no significant factor among the inflammatory markers or antioxidant vitamins affecting the femoral neck BMD for either gender. In conclusion, while hs-CRP is an independent predictor of the BMD of the lumbar spine in women, vitamin E showed profound effects on BMD in men but not women with metabolic syndrome.

In clothing, a tendency of Bisexuality is in case of wearing clothing of the opposite sex, the mixing of modeling principle and characteristic of man and woman, the exclusion characteristic of sexuality that present sexlessness-the third sex. They-Designer Gabrielle Chanel, YSL, Giorgio Armani-give characteristic of man's fashion to women's fashion. However, the consciousness in design is different. Chanel apply principle of man's suit to woman's wear to express authority and power about gender image, hereby she express women liberation and equality of man and woman based on social ideology through fashion especially, she express women's sexual independency and self assurance to her clothing. YSL express liberal and bold women that pursuit reasonal and liberal life in 1970. As he apply tailoed suit's rigidity to women's wear, he made 'pants look' universal in women's wear through“Dress for success”in modern life. Armani apply successful modern image to women's wear, so he express women's image of confident intellegent as well as feminine image. He focus women's new image as man living liberal and indivisual life excluding social category rather than will of equality of man and women. Gernreich break sexual prejudice and release women freely, furthermore, as he express concern of sexuality pursuit liberty of mankind surpassing sex distinction with women liberty. Gianni Versace pursuit mix and extinguishment of sexual image many-sided, and break fixed idea of sex, and reprovide feminine and masculine image. So his design tend homosexuality because he regard women's glamor and ostensible sexuality as standard of beauty, he apply this to man's wear as well as women's wear. With this, he expresses sensitive and liberal man's that break characteristic of Gender that symbolize power and authority in man's wear through 'Without ties'.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the changes in hematologic indices after plateletpheresis and to identify the preapheresis platelet count and clinical factors (age, gender, height, and weight) that showed some influence on the percentage of platelet decrement, yield and efficiency. Plateletpheresis was performed on 101 healthy donors in Bundang CHA general hospital. The data was analyzed using the SAS program with t-test, ANOVA test and Multiple regression. The mean percentage decrease after plateletpheresis was 2.0% in hemoglobin, 1.8% in hematocrit, and 29.7% in the platelet count, while a WBC count showed an increase of 2.6%. The mean percentage decrease of hemoglobin and hematocrit were 1.7% and 1.4%, in males and 3.6% and 3.7% in females, respectively. Particularly the percentage decrease of platelet count was significantly higher in females (40.0%) than in males (27.2%). The platelet decrementage and yield were significantly higher in females, but the efficiency did not differ significantly between males and females. The yield showed the lowest levels in subjects who were 40 years old or over but the platelet decrement and efficiency did not change according to age. The platelet decrement increased as height and weight increased. Also, the platelet decrement and yield increased as the initial platelet counts increased, but the efficiency did not. From multiple regression analysis, the platelet decrement was associated with gender, weight, and initial platelet count. The yield was related to the initial platelet count, but the efficiency was not related to gender, age, weight, height or initial platelet counts. This study has a limitation of the generality of the study results since this study was conducted only in a single university hospital. Further study would be necessary to find out a subpopulation that is sensitive to the hematologic change after plateletpheresis, and to determine the standard criteria for blood donation based on the subpopulation.

주행 중 인체는 발과 지면 사이의 반복적인 충격력을 경험한다. 충격력은 하지의 부간 편안함 그리고 주행 능력과 높은 연관성이 있다. 이에 신발 메이커들은 하지의 부상을 줄이고 편안함을 향상시키며 주행 능력을 개선하기 위하여 다양한 특성의 중저를 가진 신발을 개발하여 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 남녀 주행 시 수직 지면반력 및 착지각도에 미치는 신발 중저 경도의 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 전문 주자 남녀 각각 다섯 명이 본 실험에 참여하여 연질 중질, 경질의 운동화를 순차적으로 신고 동일한속도로 주행하도록 하였다. 결론적으로 성별과는 무관하게 최대 수직 지면반력, 충격력 정점, 디딤 시간은 신발 중저의 경도의 영향을 주지 못하였다. 하지만 중저가 경질이 될수록 부하 시간은 감소하고 부하율은 증가하였다. 이때 남성 참여자가 중저의 변화에 대하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면 여성 참여자는 상대적으로 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 저자들은 본 연구의 결과가 향후 성별에 특화된 신발의 적절한 중저 경도를 결정하기 위한 가이드라인을 제공하는데 적용되기를 기대하는 바이다.

고령화와 가족 구조의 변화로 노인 부양이 사회적인 문제가 되고 있는 가운데 최근 그 비율이 증가하고 있는 배우자 부양자에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 배우자 부양은 '돌봄' 외에도 '결혼 생활의 연장'이라는 특징이 있어 성인 자녀를 비롯한 기타 가족 부양자와는 질적으로 다른 경험일 가능성이 크다. 또한 남편과 아내가 처한 맥락이 상이하므로 이들의 성별 차이에 대해 구체적으로 알아볼 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 배우자를 돌보는 부양자에 초점을 맞추어 배우자 부양자의 부양 동기 및 사회적 지지가 부양 부담에 미치는 영향을 성별 차이를 중심으로 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2001년 보건사회연구원에서 실시한 「장기요양보호 대상 노인의 수발 실태와 복지욕구」 자료를 이용하여 기술통계 및 T검증, X²검증과 로지스틱 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 부양 동기 및 사회적 지지가 부양자의 부양 부담에 미치는 영향은 성별에 따라, 부담의 하위 항목에 따라 차이점과 공통점이 각각 발견되었다. 부양 동기의 경우, 부인을 돌보는 남성의 부양 부담에만 유의미한 영향을 미쳤고, 남편을 돌보는 여성부양자에게서는 부양 동기와 부양 부담과의 관련성이 관찰되지 않았다. 한편, 사회적 지지는 남성 부양자의 부양 부담에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 여성 부양자의 경우 사회적 지지가 적을수록 경제적 부담을 느낄 승산이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 부양자의 건강상태와 피부양자의 ADL 수준은 남녀 모두의 신체적 부담에 영향을 미치는 것으로 타나났다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여, 배우자 부양자의 부담을 줄이기 위한 연구와 정책적 노력에 성인지적 관점의 필요성을 제기하였다.

This paper uses the sensibility engineering method to find the model of automobile most appealing to buyers in the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ tier cities of China. Samples of class A & A0 cars were shown to 96 subjects in those cities to investigate their responses in relation to the concepts 'modern' and 'smart'. The result shows that even though men tend to be more sensitive to automobile models in general than women are, both genders showed similar responses to specific models when they were asked to identify a model 'magnificent', 'modern', 'lively', 'smart' or 'cute'. This implies that despite the gender differences in terms of aesthetic sensitivity, both men and women share similar taste in relation to the appearance of cars. Apart from aesthetics, however, men tend to pay a greater attention to the details of design and material used for the cars, while women tend to pay attention to higher priced and better looking cars.

People differ greatly in their capacity to persist in the face of challenges. Despite significant research, relatively little is known about cognitive factors that might be involved in perseverance. Building upon human threat-management mechanism, we predicted that perseverant people would be characterized by reduced sensitivity (i.e., longer detection latency) to threat cues. Our data from 5,898 job applicants showed that highly perseverant individuals required more time to correctly identify anger in faces, regardless of stimulus type (dynamic or static computer-morphed faces). Such individual differences were not observed in response to other facial expressions (happiness, sadness), and the effect was independent of gender, dispositional anxiety, or conscientiousness. Discussions were centered on the potential role of threat sensitivity in effortful pursuit of goals.

A concept of 'digital' is changing a living pattern of moderners, with having influence on the whole life of modern society. The purpose of this study is arrange the frame of conformity to the 'fashion as culture' by considering the social and cultural phenomena being shown in relation to digital, which is a concept being watched most for the 21st century and by trying to analyze a tendency of digital culture being shown in the modernly fashion design based on this. The digital culture, which is a concept of generalizing the phenomena of interactional changes in the sub-structure being derived by digital technology, is being shown as a tendency of fusionization and globalization, and due to this, the culture of digital nomads is being formed. On the other hand, a tendency of amenity caused by the reaction against the coldly digital technology, is forming one axis of digital culture. As the culture, which experiences the process of a change by digital technology, is reflected even on the fashion, the fusion of technology and the human body, brought about the appearance and the development of the artificial body, by allowing the wearable computer to be introduced to fashion and by being connected directly to the body. This means the expansion of range for fashion. The destruction of a border between space and space, is making an opportunity of forming another ego inside the cyber space, with bringing about the mixed loading between the cyber space and the real space. As the border between the cyber space and the real space is being collapsed, the space of newly self-realization is being created. The collapse of gender is being shown as the pursuit of gender, which is a nomadic concept of not giving priority to anywhere of male gender and female gender. The tendency of sensitive design introduced the sports look as the largely fashion trend. Fascinated with Zen thoughts is leading to a response to the swiftly and coldly social conditions caused by machine. The digital culture by digital technology and the fashion tendency being shown by its influence, meet the needs of self-realization and self-expansion for a human being, and satisfy the needs for the expression of self-identity for a human being, and enable the search for introspection about inner existence inside the self.
