Objectives : The goal of this study was to examine the association between zinc and lead level and symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among Korean children. Methods : A total of 89 clinic-referred children participated in the study (ADHD group=45, control group=44). The participants were 5-15 years old, and were mainly from urban areas of Seoul, Korea. ADHD was diagnosed using the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version. We excluded children with a comorbid psychiatric disorder, medical illness requiring medication, or a prior history of taking ADHD medication. In order to evaluate the severity of ADHD symptoms, parents' Korean ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS) was used. The ADHD diagnostic system (ADS) was used for evaluation of the severity of inattention and impulsivity. All participants completed the intelligence test and hair mineral analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the effect of hair zinc and lead levels on the K-ARS and ADS. We measured the predictive ability of the zinc and lead levels using logistic regression analysis. Results : The lead level explained the score for omission errors, commission errors, and response time SD in visual ADS in the ADHD group (adjusted $R^2$=.243, p<.01, adjusted $R^2$=.362, p<.01, and adjusted $R^2$=.275, p<.01), the score for omission errors of auditory ADS in ADHD group (adjusted $R^2$=.407, p<.01) and the entire group (adjusted $R^2$=.292, p<.01). Zinc was significantly explanatory for the K-ARS scores for the entire group (adjusted $R^2$=.248, p<.001) and the ADHD group (adjusted $R^2$=.247, p<.05). Conclusion : These findings suggest a possible role of zinc and lead in ADHD. Lead concentration in hair samples affected the ADS scores, and this was more prominent in children with ADHD. Children with ADHD had a lower zinc concentration in their hair, and the zinc concentration in hair showed negative correlation with the K-ARS score.

This study was carried out to determine the causative agent and the clinical features of dermatophytosis occurred in 3 dogs from Tae-gu, Korea between 1996 and 1997. Specimens of hair and scale, collected from skin lesions were inoculated on potato dextrose agar and mycobiotic agar supplemented with thiamine and inositol. The agar plates were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. Growing fungi isolated were identified by the morphological and growth characterization on bromocresol purple-milk solids-glucose medium, Christensen urea broth and trichophyton media, and by hair perforation tests. Skin lesions were observed in legs, abdomen, ears, face and head with alopecia of various sizes accompanied by itching and/or inflammation. The causative agent of dermatophytosis in the 3 dogs was identified as Microsprum gypseum and Trichophyton rubrum (mixed infection, dog 1), T rubrum (dog 2) and T raubitschekii (dog 3). The dermatophytosis by T rubrum and T raubitschekii was first found on animals in Korea.

본 연구는 범죄자의 경우 필수 금속원소와 독성금속의 함량에 기초하여 정상적 인구집단으로부터 구별될 수 있다는 가설을 검정하기 위해 시도되었다. 금속 원소함량 및 중금속함량의 차이를 알아보기 위해 두발을 채취하였으며, 아울러 이들 금속과 인성과의 관련성을 알아보기 위해 MMPI 검사를 시행하였다. 두발채취는 범죄자의 경우 유죄판결을 받은 직후 실시 하였으며, 후두부의 5cm 이내의 두발을 2g을 취하여 두발중 금속함량을 원자흡광분광광도계로써 측정 하였다. 두발 중 금속원소들의 함량을 비교해 오면 아연과 마그네슘이 비폭력범죄자에 있어 유의하게 낮았으며, 납과 카드뮴 비폭력범죄자군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 연령군별 함량차이를 보면 나트륨, 아연, 철, 마그네슘, 납에서 차이를 보이고 있으나 연령에 따른 어떠한 추세는 보이지 않았다. 연령군별로 층화하여 두 집단과의 차이를 보면 나트륨은 20대에서 비폭력범죄자군이 유의하게 높았으며 아연은 20대 30대 40대에서 마그네슘은 20대와 30대에 있어서 비폭력범죄자가 유의하게 낮았다. 반면 납과 카드뮴은 20대 30대 40대에서 비폭력범죄자군이 유의하게 높았다. MMPI의 각 척도별 T 점수중 우울증 척도(D)는 대조군이 유의하게 높았고, 반사회성 척도(Pd), 편집증 척도(Pa), 경조증 척도(Ma)의 척도에서는 비폭력군이 유의하게 높았다. 금속 금속함량과 MMPI의 각 척도별 T 점수와의 상관성을 보면 범죄자 군에서는 구리와 Ma 척도를 제외한 Hs D Hy Pd Mf Pa Pt Sc Si 척도의 점수와 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보이고 있으며 (P<0.05, p<0.01), 아연함량과 Hy Mf Pa Pt 척도의 점수가 음의 상관관계를 보이고 있다. 반면 대조군에서는 나트륨과 Ma 척도가 음의 상관관계를 철과 Sc척도, Pt척도는 양의 상관 관계를 보이고 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼때 비폭력범죄자와 정상 대조군 사이에서 일부 금속원소의 함량 차이가 있는 것으로 보여지며, 금속원소 함량과 MMPI 척도와도 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 폭력범과 비폭력범, 폭력범과 일반인과의 차이를 비교하여 볼 필요성을 느낀다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between lymphedema self-care management and quality of life in breast cancer patients with mastectomy and lymphedema. Methods: One hundred and eighty-six breast cancer patients with mastectomy and lymphedema (n=186) were recruited at a medical center located in Seoul. The levels of lymphedema self-care management and quality of life were measured by the scale for measurement of practice in lymphedema self-care management, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ BR23), respectively. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant correlations between lymphedema self-care management and general health status/quality of life in mastectomy patients with lymphedema (r=.30, p<.001). The physical function score of cancer related function scale (r=-.15, p=.033), fatigue score of cancer related symptom scale (r=.15, p=.036), systemic side effect score of breast cancer related symptom scale (r=.45, p=.034), and upset by hair loss (r=.27, p=.004) were significantly correlated with quality of life. Conclusion: The findings suggest that these significant factors should be considered when caring for lymphedema patients.

본 연구는 Lee(2015)의 질적 연구에 대한 후속연구로, 전문가 집단이 아닌 실무자들을 대상으로 양적연구를 진행하여 평가척도의 타당성을 실증할 필요가 있었다. 이에 따라 예비조사의 탐색적 요인분석을 진행한 결과 오분류 및 이상치를 나타낸 12개의 문항을 삭제하였으며, 그 결과 연구자가 잠정적으로 설정한 요인구조와 대체로 부합하는 결과(75문항)를 나타냈다. 이후 확인적 요인분석을 진행하기 위해 연구자가 설정한 요인들을 단계별로 투입한 4단계 구조방정식 모형에 대한 검증을 진행하였다. 그 결과 연구자가 설정한 요인이 추가되면서 점차 모형적합도가 향상되는 결과를 나타냈으며, 최종적으로 연구자가 설정한 헤어미용사 전문성 구인화 모형에 부합하는 결과로 나타났다. 한편 본 평가척도는 자기평정방식을 채택하였기 때문에, 자기반성을 통한 전문성 향상을 유도할 수 있으며, 상급자의 주관적 판단이 아닌 객관적인 전문성 측정이 가능하여 합리적인 직급체계를 정립할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The study was done to identify the relationship of treatment side effects, family support, and quality of life in patients with cancer, and factors influencing quality of life. Method: A convenience sample of 106 patients who were receiving cancer treatment at W hospital were interviewed using the Side Effects scale by Hur, Family Support scale by Kang, and QOL scale by Ro. Result: Results indicate that women experienced more severe side effects than men. There was a negative relationship between side effects and quality of life, and a positive relationship between family support and quality of life. The most bothersome side effects were changes in taste and appetite, followed by general weakness and fatigue. Side effects such as loss of hair, nausea, dizziness, numbness, pins and needles in fingers and toes, and dry mouth were also experienced. General weakness and family support were analysed as to whether they were factors influencing quality of life. Conclusion: The results revealed that relieving general weakness should be given high priority in nursing interventions for patients undergoing cancer treatment. In addition, nursing programs should be developed that can reinforce family support.

Intelligent human identification using face information has been the research hotspot ranging from Internet of Things (IoT) application, intelligent self-service bank, intelligent surveillance to public safety and intelligent access control. Since 2D face images are usually captured from a long distance in an unconstrained environment, to fully exploit this advantage and make human recognition appropriate for wider intelligent applications with higher security and convenience, the key difficulties here include gray scale change caused by illumination variance, occlusion caused by glasses, hair or scarf, self-occlusion and deformation caused by pose or expression variation. To conquer these, many solutions have been proposed. However, most of them only improve recognition performance under one influence factor, which still cannot meet the real face recognition scenario. In this paper we propose a multi-scale parallel convolutional neural network architecture to extract deep robust facial features with high discriminative ability. Abundant experiments are conducted on CMU-PIE, extended FERET and AR database. And the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits excellent discriminative ability compared with other existing algorithms.
