Background: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system comprises a group of proteins that play key roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis in a variety of cellular systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) in hepatocellular carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Expression of IGF2, IGFBP3, and PTEN was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Lentivirus vectors were used to overexpress IGFBP3 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) lines. The effect of IGFBP3 on proliferation was investigated by MTT and colony formation assays. Results: Expression of IGF2, IGFBP3, and PTEN in several HCC cell lines was lower than in normal cell lines. After 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine/trichostatin A treatment, significant demethylation of the promoter region of IGFBP3 was observed in HCC cells. Overexpression of IGFBP3 induced apoptosis and reduced colony formation in HUH7 cells. Conclusions: Expression of IGF2, IGFBP3, and PTEN in several HCC cell lines was lower than in normal cell lines. After 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine/trichostatin A treatment, significant demethylation of the promoter region of IGFBP3 was observed in HCC cells. Overexpression of IGFBP3 induced apoptosis and reduced colony formation in HUH7 cells.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of two types specific exercise intervention (deep and superficial abdominal muscle exercises) in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Design: A randomized, comparative, repeated-measures. Subjects: Twenty-four patients with CLBP (at least for 3 months), mean $age{\pm}SD=51.58{\pm}16.21$ (yrs). Methods: Twenty-four patients with this condition were assigned randomly to two treatment groups. Both first and second group underwent 3 weeks specific exercise treatment program. The first group specific trained for the deep abdominal muscles. The second group specific trained for the superficial abdominal muscles. Results: After intervention, the first group showed a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity and functional disability levels (p<.05). The second group showed no significant change in these parameters after intervention (p>.05). Conclusions: According to results, a "deep abdominal muscle exercises" treatment approach appears more effective than a "superficial abdominal muscle exercises" treatment in patients with CLBP.
Surgical intervention for pumlmonary tuberculosis has been controverted for last several decades. Although it is widely held that the chemotherapy is the best modality for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, surgical intervention has still some roles in well elected circumstance. At the National Kongju Tuberculosis Hospital in Korea, we performed a retrospective case Cohort study through the regular follow-up of 463 cases, who underwent the surgical intervention for pulmonary tuberculosis between January 1986 and April 1990. The results were as follows: 1) The male to female ratio was 1.8:1 and 84.4% of the patients were between 20 and 49 years of age. 2) According to the NAT classification, 6 cases (1.3%) were minimal, 216 (46.7%) moderately advanced and 241 (52%) far advanced. 3) One hundred and thirty four cases (28.9%) had the treatment history of 5 to 10 years and 129 cases (27.9%) of 3 to 4 years. 4) As for the pathologic entities, 172 cases (37.1%) had the totally destroyed lung and 137 (29.6%) destroyed lobe or segment. 5) A total of 238 cases (51.4%) underwent pneumonectomy and 153 (33.0%) lobectomy. 6) As the post-operative complications, 21 cases (4.5%) had empyema and 11 (2.4%) bleeding. The rate of complication after pneumonectomy and lobectomy was 5.8% and 3.2%, respectively. 7) Six cases (1.3%) died post-operatively. 8) Out of 238 cases with pre-operative positivity for AFB, 212 achieved the negative conversion, its rate being 89.1%. It follows from these results that although it has a limit, surgical intervention may play an important role in treating some patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective : This study was to investigate effects of sensory integration intervention with oral activity on breathing and oral diadochokinetic movement of child with developmental disability. Methods : A subject of this study was 6years and 7month old boy, living in G city which was diagnosed as developmental disability. The study performed from November, 2012 to February, 2013. Research design used in this study is AB design for single-subject research. The experimental period was divided into two phase: 3 sessions for baseline phase (A), 16 sessions for treatment phase (B). There was sensory integration therapy on the baseline phase, and sensory integration intervention with oral activity was conducted on the treatment phase. Breathing measured a Spirometer, oral diadochokinetic movement was measured by measuring the time secondly when repeating "phathakha" ten times. Results : In comparison with the baseline phase, the child's breathing and diadochokinetic movement increased during the treatment phase. Conclusion : Sensory integration intervention with oral activity brought positive results to child's breathing and oral diadochokinetic movement.
This study is a nonequivalent placebo control group pretest-posttest design to confirm the effects of auricular pressure therapy on perceived stress and sleep quality for nursing students. The subjects of the study were selected from K College, 30 people in the treatment group and 30 people in the control group, a total of 60 people. Data were collected from March 2 to April 26, 2022. Auricular pressure was applied to the treatment group (shenmen, heart, thalamus), and the placebo control group was applied to the auricle (hip, knee, ankle) in the same method during the same period. Data were analyzed independent t-test repeated measures ANOVA using the SPSS 23.0 program. The perceived stress score of the treatment group significantly decreased to 2.28 after 4 weeks of intervention and 2.07 after 8 weeks of intervention, and the sleep quality score significantly increased to 3.37 after 4 weeks of intervention and 4.02 after 8 weeks of intervention. It was found to have a lasting effect over time.
Background: Stroke recovery is a long and complex process. Successful stroke recovery seems to be strongly associated with patients' high motivation and committed participation. Patients' motivation is a key determinant of successful rehabilitation outcomes, but it is difficult in defining and measuring. Patients' participation is defined as the degree or extent to which subjects take part in rehabilitation activities and can be measured by observable behavior. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of patients' level of participation in rehabilitation on functional outcomes in patients with stroke. Methods: Forty post-stroke inpatients participated in this study. The level of rehabilitation participation was measured by the Hopkins Rehabilitation Engagement Rating Scale (HRERS). Other measures used for the evaluation were the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) and Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI). Overall measurements were made at early intervention and late intervention. Spearman correlation and multiple regression were used to measure the relationships between HRERS, RMI, and K-MBI. Results: The correlation found between HRERS total scores at early intervention and RMI total scores of late intervention was above moderate (r = 0.607, p < 0.01). RMI total scores at early intervention (p < 0.000), HRERS total scores at early intervention (p < 0.001), and disease duration (p < 0.003) were significant predictors of RMI total scores at late intervention. Conclusion: The level of participation at early intervention was associated with improvement in mobility. The level of mobility at early intervention, disease duration, and patients' participation at early intervention were important determinants of functional outcome. These findings suggest that patients' participation should be encouraged in order to achieve successful stroke recovery.
Background: Various interventions have been tested to prevent or treat childhood obesity in South Korea. However, the overall effect of those interventions is unclear, as very few reviews and meta-analyses were specific to Korean children and adolescents. Purpose: We aimed to examine the overall effect of obesity interventions among Korean children and adolescents, while also examining differences by sex, age group, baseline weight category, intervention duration, number of intervention components, and type of intervention components. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted for all intervention studies sampling Korean children and adolescents, with at least one control group and one month of follow-up, published between January 2000 and August 2020. Cohen d was calculated as an effect size for treatment effect, using the standardized difference between intervention group's body mass index (BMI) change and control group's BMI change. Results: The final sample included 19 intervention studies with 2,140 Korean children (mean age, 12.2 years). Overall, interventions were strongly favored over their controls (d=1.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-2.09). The subgroup analysis showed that interventions with at least one physical activity component (d=2.43; 95% CI, 1.63-3.24) were significantly better than those that did not include physical activity (d=0.02; 95% CI, -0.26 to 0.31). Conclusion: Type of intervention component appeared important, though no differential association was observed by sex, age, baseline weight category, intervention duration, and number of intervention components. Korean and non-Korean interventions may be substantively different. Additional studies are needed to understand why and how Korean interventions differ from non-Korean interventions.
Objectives : This study was performed to report the effect of music-listening intervention and relaxation for somatoform disorder. Methods : A 51 year-old female patient suffered from several somatic symptoms without identifiable physical cause. We saw her symptoms were related to her psychological factors. We applied music-listening intervention and relaxation besides Korean traditional medical treatment to make her be aware of her psychological condition such as inner conflict and know symptoms are related to her psychological condition. Results : After the music-listening intervention and relaxation, the patient revealed her unrecognized hidden feelings and emotions and got some insights about herself. Then somatic symptoms such as dysesthesia and urinary frequency and anxiety were decreased considerably. Conclusions : These results suggest that the music-listening intervention and relaxation can be effective on improvement of soma to form disorder.
Purpose: This study was to estimate the effectiveness of an intervention program using the trans-theoretical model on the stages of change, the process of change, decisional balance, self-efficacy, the levels of medication adherence, and blood pressure difference. Methods: A similar experiment was conducted using a nonequivalent control group pre- and post-test design. The study subjects were 108 hypertensive patients. The program was administered to the experimental group while educational materials were given to the control group. Descriptive analysis, 2-test, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA were used with SPSS 17.0 to analyze collected data. Results: After treatment with this program, the experimental group showed stage of change ($x^2=52.917$, p<.001), cognitive (F=13,528, p<.001), behavioral process of change (F=10.808, p<.001), benefits (F=5.569, p=.012), loss of medication adherence (F=15.661, p<.001), self-efficacy (F=5.407, p=.011), levels of medication adherence (F=51.442, p<.001). Conclusion: There was a significant improvement in the experimental group who participated in the TTM medication adherence intervention program. Given that this intervention program motivated and stimulated hypertensive patients to adhere to the prescribed medications, the TTM medication adherence intervention program is expected to be an effective and practical intervention method for health improvement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an algorithm for nursing care after percutaneous coronary intervention in order to improve patients' safety and prevent complications, because percutaneous coronary intervention is becoming a common treatment for coronary artery diseases. Methods: By reviewing related literatures and interviewing nurses, items and paths that were to be used in the algorithm for nursing care after percutaneous coronary intervention were drawn up and a draft algorithm was developed. The final algorithm was determined based on the results of the evaluation performed after clinical application. Results: According to the outcome after allowing nurses to apply the revised algorithm with 11 patients, suitability on items composing the algorithm were highly rated whereas promptness was lowly rated. Although the patients (n=11) to whom the algorithm was applied complained of less back pain (p=.001) and discomfort (p=.026) compared to the patients (n=17) to whom the algorithm was not applied, no significant difference in bleeding complication was found. Conclusion: The findings in the study support the clinical utilization of the algorithm for nursing care after percutaneous coronary intervention as the use of this algorithm reduced back pain and discomfort without increasing bleeding complications at the femoral puncture site.
