Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Participatory Action-Oriented Training (PAOT) programs in korean manufacture workers with metabolic syndrome for three years. Methods: A total of 890 workers with risks of metabolic syndrome were recruited from one workplace. The experimental group (n=51) received PAOT program for the preventive management on metabolic syndrome, while the control group (n=51) received conventional program. Results: In the experimental group who participated in PAOT program, percentage of achieved action plans was 73.4% at three months, 75.8% at six months, 82.8% at three years. After three years, the rate of risk factor in the experimental group has significantly decreased from $1.94{\pm}1.77$ to $0.76{\pm}1.25$ for moderate exercise, and from $1.72{\pm}2.01$ to $1.04{\pm}1.59$ for the strenuous exercise. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure has significantly decreased from $125.06{\pm}11.83$ to $117.65{\pm}19.94$, from $83.45{\pm}13.38$ to $76.39{\pm}8.09$ mmHg. In addition, risk factor score also decreased from $3.31{\pm}0.61$ to $1.41{\pm}0.89$. Conclusion: To improve the effectiveness of PAOT program for the management of risk factors of metabolic syndrome, there is a need to continue implement programs and analyze the long-term effects are required in the workplace.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has exacerbated the rate of tuberculosis (TB) infection among close contacts of TB patients in remote regions. However, research on preventive behaviors, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), among household contacts of TB cases is scarce. This study aimed to employ the HBM as a framework to predict TB preventive behaviors among household contacts of TB patients in the border areas of Northern Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study with multi-stage random sampling was conducted in Chiang Rai Province. The study included 422 TB patients' household contacts aged 18 years or older who had available chest X-ray (CXR) results. A self-administered questionnaire was used to conduct the survey. Results: The participants' mean age was 42.93 years. Pearson correlation analysis showed that TB preventive behavior scores were significantly correlated with TB knowledge (r=0.397), perceived susceptibility (r=0.565), perceived severity (r=0.452), perceived benefits (r=0.581), self-efficacy (r=0.526), and cues to action (r=0.179). Binary logistic regression revealed that the modeled odds of having an abnormal CXR decreased by 30.0% for each 1-point score increase in preventive behavior (odds ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval, 0.61 to 0.79). Conclusions: HBM constructs were able to explain preventive behaviors among TB patients' household contacts. The HBM could be used in health promotion programs to improve TB preventive behaviors and avoid negative outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing dementia preventive behavior intention of the elderly people based on the Health Belief Model. Methods: The participants included 113 elderly people who met the eligibility criteria. Demographic variables, variables of the Health Belief Model (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, cues to action, general health motivation, and self efficacy), dementia fear and behavioral intention of dementia prevention were examined using structured self-report questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed by stepwise multiple regression using SPSS for Windows version 21. Results: Self efficacy, alcohol drinking, perceived barrier and education level were significant factors, which explained 32% of the variance in dementia preventive behavior intention. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that a powerful predictor of dementia preventive behavior intention of the elderly was self efficacy. Conclusion: Developing nursing intervention to enhance self efficacy toward improvement of dementia preventive behavior among elderly people would be recommended.

항암제와 세포독성과의 관계를 알아보고자 인혈배양 임파구에서 SCE빈도, 세포분열지수 및 세포분열주기변동을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 항암제 농도증가에 따라 SCE빈도는 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되었으며 (P<0.01), methotrexate에서는 유의성이 인정되지 않았다(P>0.05). 2) 세포분열지수는 cyclophosphamide를 제외한 공시 항암제에 대하여 현저하게 감소되었다. 3) 항암제의 농도증가에 따라 세포분열주기는 현저하게 지연되었으며 고농도에서는 현저한 세포분열 억제로 정상적인 세포분열이라 할 수 없는 강한 세포독성효과를 보였다. 이 결과는 알킬계 약제가 다른 항암제에 비해 강한 SCE 유발제이며 SCE유발과 세포분열주기 지연과는 깊은 상관성이 인정되지만 methotrexote경우에서는 그 상관성을 인정할 수 없었다. 이는 SCE유발과 세포분열주기지연이 서로 다른 기전에 의해서도 나타남을 제시해주고 있다.

Tea is a pleasant, popular and safe beverage in the world. During the past decade, epidemiological studies have shown that tea catechins intake is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea provides a dietary source of health-promoting components to help humans reduce a wide variety of cancer risks and chronic diseases. The antioxidative activity of tea-derived catchins has been extensively studied. The antioxidant effect is a synergistic action between catechins e.g. EGCG, EGC, ECG, EC, pheophytins a and b, and other components in tea leaves, which aye more bioavailable for human body. Green tea has a Higher content of catechins than other kinds of tea. Green tea extract with hot water has high potential and more efficiency to reduce cancer risk than any other tea products or pure EGCG. Protein, iyon, and other food components may interfere with the bioavailability of ten catechins. Interaction of catechins with drug affects the cancer-preventive activity of some cancer-fighting medication. Further studies are required to determine the bioavailability of tea catechins and cancer-preventive functionality.

This paper describes preventive control for transient stability. Preventive control encompasses in general a twofold problem : Severity assessment of a instability originating from the occurrence of a dangerous contingency, and Choice of an action able to stabilize it. In this paper we assess contingencies in a power systems using PASF(Power Angle Shape Filtering) and control power systems by a generation rescheduling. The proposed method is applied to prevent loss of synchronism of all the generators at a site, KEPCO Systems.

In order to study the chelating action of d-penicillamine on lead and the possibility of its application to the provocation test for diagnosis of lead poisoning, urinary excretion of lead was measured from 24-hour urine samples before, during and after administration of d-penicillamine by oral route for 5 days on 18 lead workers. The results were as follows: 1. Oral d-penicillamine 600 mg/day raised the excretion of urinary lead by approximately 3 times as compared with initial urinary lead level. 2. Initial urinary lead level was the better indicator of urinary lead excretion in d-penicillamine administration than initial blood lead ${\delta}-ALA$ and hemoglobin level. 3. Oral d-penicillamine may be quite useful in provocation test for lead poisoning.

In this paper we introduce the Failure Management System for AREX's Signalling System which is applied by RAMS management. The corrective action report is classified into 3 group, scheduled maintenance, non-scheduled maintenance and the reported failure maintenance. The scheduled maintenance is for the failure detected by periodic inspection and it is concerned as the Preventive Maintenance. The reported failure maintenance is for the failure reported by non-maintenance staff and non-scheduled maintenance includes all corrective action except the works of the previous 2 group. RAMS analysis is based on the FRACAS data connected with the corrective action reports. AREX computerize the all process by the Facility Management System of Integrated Information System.
