Purpose: Glufosinate ammonium (GA; phosphinothricin) can induce neurological complications such as altered mental status, amnesia, and convulsions. This study was conducted to evaluate whether blood lipid profiles can help predict convulsions in patients with GA poisoning. Methods: This study was a retrospective review of data acquired at a tertiary academic university hospital from March 2014 to July 2016. Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of demographic and laboratory findings of 50 patients with GA poisoning were performed to identify correlations of general characteristics and laboratory findings, including blood lipid profiles of GA-poisoned patients between with and without convulsions. Results: Convulsion as a GA complication showed a significant association with poison volume, age, white blood cell count, and creatine phosphokinase (CK), albumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) content in blood according to an independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test. However, ANCOVA demonstrated significant association with LDL and triglyceride. Conclusion: Blood lipid profiles, especially serum LDL and triglyceride, were useful in predicting convulsions in patients with GA poisoning.

In the previous article in this series we introduced the basic concepts for statistical analysis. The present review introduces hypothesis testing for continuous and categorical data for readers of the veterinary science literature. For the analysis of continuous data, we explained t-test to compare a single mean with a hypothesized value and the difference between two means from two independent samples or between two means arising from paired samples. When the data are categorical variables, the $x^2$ test for association and homogeneity, Fisher's exact test and Yates' continuity correction for small samples, and test for trend, in which at least one of the variables is ordinal is described, together with the worked examples. McNemar test for correlated proportions is also discussed. The topics covered may provide a basic understanding of different approaches for analyzing clinical data.

Background: Eight-Constitution Medicine (ECM) devides the human body into eight constitutions. Up until now, checking the pulse types is only way to classify the eight constitution. Recently we try to make a questionnaire that is based on the Eight-Constitution characters and analyze the answer from patients who were classified into one of the eight constitutions according to their pulse types and their responses to constitution-acupuncture therapy Objective: This study intends to analyze each answer of the Eight-Constitution Questionnaire with independent sample t-test. Methods: Participants of this study were outpatients in ECM clinics located in Korea. The resources were collected from 925 patients who were classified into one of the eight constitutions according to their pulse types and their responses to constitution-acupuncture therapy. SPSS 13.0 for Windows was used for independent sample t-test. Results and Conclusions: 1. The proportion of participants' constitutions is in the order of Pancreotonia (28.0%), Colonotonia (17.3%), Pulmotonia (18.1%), Hepatonia (18.1%), Vesicotonia (8.5%), Cholecystotonia (7.0%), Renotonia (2.6%) and Gastrotonia (0.4%). 2. Eight-Constitution Questionnaire consists of 5 parts; Appearance, Character, Body reaction, Physiology & Pathology and Food reaction. 3. 10 items were chosen among 42 question about Appearance. 4. Due to the deficiency of Gastrotonia examples, useful items have to be given up. If we can gather Gastrotonia examples, we can use meaningful items more than 10.

본 연구는 아로마 목걸이를 병용한 비대면 수면 프로그램이 불면증 대학생의 수면의 질, 주간졸림증, 우울 및 스트레스에 미치는 효과를 확인하고자 비동등 대조군 전후 실험설계로 시도되었다. 대상자는 경기도 S시 소재 E대학에 재학중인 대학생 가운데 불면증상을 호소하는 대상자에게 중재 전후에 자가설문으로 구성된 수면의 질, 주간졸림증, 우울, 스트레스를 측정하였다. 아로마목걸이를 병용한 비대면 수면 프로그램은 실험군(n=21)에게 주 1회, 총 6주 동안 적용하였으며 대조군(n=21)에게 수면책자를 제공하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Independent t-test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 수면의 질(t=-5.87, p<.001), 주간졸음(t=-4.28, p<.001), 우울(t=-4.40, p<.001)에서는 그룹 간 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 스트레스는 유의하지 않았다. 따라서 아로마목걸이를 병용한 비대면 수면 프로그램이 대학생의 수면의 질, 주간졸림증, 우울 증상을 감소시키는데 유용한 간호중재법으로 활용 가능할 것을 기대된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a Dongsasub training applying aroma necklace for nursing students in clinical practicum, and to evaluate the training programs' effects on perceived stress, self-esteem, depression, and clinical competence of the participants. Methods: This study used a cluster-randomized controlled trial design. Participants were 56 nursing students taking clinical practicum courses (26 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). The training program consisted of four sessions of Dongsasub training and wearing a necklace where a mixture of aroma oils attached. Participants in experimental group were given a necklace with essential oil mixture of lavender, bergamot, and geranium with the ratio of 1:1:1 for 2 weeks. The control group received no intervention. Outcome variables included perceived stress, self-esteem, depression, and clinical competence. Data were analyzed with Fisher's exact test, Chi-square, Independent t-test using the SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Independent t-test revealed that perceived stress (t=3.15, p=.003), depression (t=4.62, p<.001) were significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group; self-esteem (t=-3.03, p=.004), clinical competence (t=-2.15, p=.036) scored significantly greater than the control group. Conclusion: The results indicate that the Dongsasub training with application of the aroma necklace can be used as an effective nursing intervention for lowering perceived stress, depression and improving self-esteem, clinical competence of nursing students.

본 연구의 목적은 코로나 19 상황에서 대면과 비대면에 수업에 따른 간호대학생의 심리적 상태를 비교 하고자 실시되었다. 대상자는 임의표출 하였으며, 분석방법은 두 집단의 동질성 검정은 χ2-test로 확인하였고, 두 그룹 간의 종속변수 점수의 차이는 independent t-test로 분석하였다. 연구결과 대면학생과 비대면학생의 우울정도는 대면학생이(8.16±9.48) 비대면학생(7.08±8.38)보다 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 불안정도도 대면학생이(8.20±9.93) 비대면학생(6.53±8.23)보다 높은 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(t=1.143(.254), (t=1.728(.085)). 본 연구결과 대면과 비대면수업 참여학생을 위한 심리적 완화를 위한 프로그램 마련의 기초가 되었으며, 향후 사회적 거리두기가 장기화되는 상황에서 대학생의 심리적 우울과 불안에 대한 반복연구를 제언한다.

Pressure tensors at the planar surface of liquid-vapor argon are evaluated from the virial theorem, Irving-Kirkwood, and Harasima versions using a test-area molecular dynamics simulation method through a Lennard-Jones intermolecular potential at two temperatures. We found that the normal and transverse components of the pressure tensor, $p_N(z)$ and $p_T(z)$, obtained from the virial theorem and Harasima version are essentially the same. The normal component of the pressure tensor from Irving-Kirkwood version, $p_N^{IK}(z)$, is shown to be a nearly constant at the lower temperature, independent of z, as agreed in a previous study, but not for $p_N^H$(z), while the transverse components, $p_T^{IK}(z)$ and $p_T^H(z)$, are almost the same. The values of surface tension for both versions computed from $p_N(z)-p_T(z)$ are also the same and are fully consistent with the experimental data.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of visual programs on job stress and burnout in emergency room nurses. This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. There were 26 participants in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Data collection took place from December 12, 2017 to February 17, 2018. The program comprised eight weekly 120-minutes sessions, which included understanding and assessing job stress and burnout. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, paired t-test, and independent t-test. As a result, levels of job stress (t=-20.09, p<.001) and burnout (t=-22.31, p<.001) decreased significantly in the experimental group. The results suggest that the Visual Media Program could be an effective strategy for reducing job stress and burnout. Therefore, it is deemed a useful intervention for improving the quality of nursing care provided in emergency rooms.

When we have both a paired data set and two independent data sets, neither a paired t-test nor a two-sample t-test can be used to detect differences between two samples. In order to identify differentially expressed genes in a mixed data set, a new test statistic is proposed.
