Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy among males worldwide, and is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in United States. According to GLOBOCAN (2012), an estimated 1.1 million new cases and 307,000 deaths were reported in 2012. The reasons for the increase of this disease are not known, but increasing life expectancy and modified diagnostic techniques have been suggested as causes. The established risk factors for this disease are advancing age, race, positive family history of prostate cancer and western diet (use of fat items). Several other risk factors, such as obesity, physical activity, sexual activity, smoking and occupation have been also associated with prostate cancer risk, but their roles in prostate cancer etiology remain uncertain. This mini-review aims to provide risk factors, disease knowledge, prevalence and awareness about prostate cancer.

Thalassemia major is a genetic disorder with a defective synthesis of either the alpha or the beta chain of hemoglobin A. Blood transfusion is crucial for the survival in these patients. Unfortunately, endocrine dysfunction is a very common complication in these patients and is principally due to excessive iron overload as a result of frequent blood transfusions. Although regular blood transfusion may increase life expectancy, disturbances in growth and pubertal development, abnormal gonadal functions, impaired thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal functions, diabetes, and disorderly bone growth are common side effects. We hereby present a case of a 23-year-old, unmarried woman with beta thalassemia major presenting with primary amenorrhea, poor development of secondary sexual character, and short stature. Thorough history, clinical examination, and laboratory investigation, including dynamic function test (insulin tolerance test) were conducted. These tests confirmed that she had multiple endocrinopathies, including hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, growth hormone deficiency, and subclinical adrenal insufficiency, which were caused by iron overload. She required hormone replacement therapy. Early recognition of possible deficiencies in hypothalamo-pituitary-end organ hormones caused by iron overload in thalassemia patients that undergo frequent blood transfusion procedures is essential. Appropriate treatments, including transfusion regimen and chelation therapy, as well as specific treatment of each complication are the crucial for the successful management and improvement of quality of life these patients.

본 연구는 전남 광양시 백운산의 조릿대 개화지에서 외적 환경인자가 개화원인으로 작용하는가를 조사했다. 이를 토대로 조릿대의 개화원인, 개화양식 및 생활사 전략을 고찰했다. 조릿대 개화지와 비개화지 사이의 토양 물리적 조건 광량 차이는 없었다. 2014~17년 사이에 조릿대가 개화했던 한국과 일본 개화지의 강수량 기온은 평년치(과거 30년)와 다른 특이점을 찾을 수 없었다. 또한 대면적으로 조릿대가 꽃을 피운 후에 대부분 죽었으나 일부 조릿대 간이 다시 발생하기도 하고 일부는 죽지 않았다. 즉, 조릿대는 외적 환경인자와 상관없이 일제히 개화했으며, 대부분의 조릿대 간은 죽지만 일부는 살아남았다. 이는 조릿대 개화원인은 외적 환경인자 영향보다 생물시계에 따라 주기적으로 발현하는 특정 유전자(일명, 유전자 시계)로 촉발된다고 본다. 한편, 멀리 떨어져 있는 조릿대 개체와 동조해 꽃을 대규모로 피우며, 소규모 단독으로 여러 번 개화하기도 한다. 이것은 평생 한 번 개화하는 조릿대의 유성번식 실패 리스크를 분산하기 위한 일종의 보험시스템이라고 판단된다. 열대성 대나무 조릿대류가 온대로 분포를 넓히면서 환경의 불확실성 증가에 따른 유성번식의 최적화를 위해 장주기 단개화성이 강화된 것으로 추정된다.

This study prospective randomized controlled trial aims to test the impact of adding health education, awareness of some contributing factors and clinical guidance to therapeutic cabergoline given to infertile women with unexplained resistant hyperprolactinemia. It comprised 120 infertile women with unexplained persistent hyperprolactinemia not responding to therapeutic doses of cabergoline 1.5-2 mg/week who were subjected to proper history taking to exclude concomitant drug intake or possible brain problems in all cases. They were classified into group A (60 cases) who received health education and clinical guidance to search for possible contributing factors and were instructed to avoid them in addition to proper therapeutic doses of cabergoline, while group B (60 cases) received proper therapeutic doses of cabergoline only without clinical guidance. After 1 month, serum prolactin (PRL) was measured for all cases. All cases had high PRL level at the start of the study (79.9±28.4 [39-195] and 78.2±19.9 [42-189] in group A and B, respectively) without any significant difference. Pretreatment counselling revealed that lifestyle factors, sexual behaviors or feeding habits may contribute to resistant hyperprolactinemia in all cases without a significant difference between both groups. Serum PRL dropped significantly more in group A (20.14±10.31 [11-45] vs. 49.32±37.03 [12-100]) after combined health education, clinical guidance of the couple and proper treatment. It is concluded that lifestyle factors, sexual behaviors, and feeding habits would affect the response of hyperprolactinemia to treatment. Health education and clinical guidance with some advice to avoid them, would concomitantly improve the response of resistant hyperprolactinemia to therapeutic doses of dopamine agonists.

Concentrating on the birth, life, and death of the Living Theatre, almost half a century avant-garde group, the primary purpose of this study at large is to explore its counter-cultural philosophy. While taking a chronological form adapting the biological order, the paper focuses on the troupe's productions: , , , , and . Through out these productions the philosophy of the Living Theatre seemed to included communal, anti-intellectual, politically radical, generally Utopian, and proselytizers for sexual freedom. The history of the Living Theatre interestingly parallels the history of the Beck's theatre in occupation and shut down. The first New York theatre was closed by fire inspectors for instance. The second theatre was declared unsafe, and locked up by the Building Department. The third theatre was seized by the IRS, consequently shut down. In 1984, after more than 25years from the third building, the Living Theatre settled once again on East Third Street in Manhattan. The theatre was however evacuated by the New York City Fire Department in 1993 and once more took to the road. With these struggles, the Becks' profound aspiration of the counter-cultural insurgency came to harden as strong as 'iron' in some ways. With the outstanding components of counter-cultural philosophy and style, the Living Theatre, in the course of the transformation, absorbed and then reflected virtually every phase for the Living Theatre were vehicles for more than just aesthetics. The group seemed to propagandize its beliefs rather performing productions. Accordingly, both on and off-stage action of the Living Theatre caused great controversy either through political activism of individual members or through the unconventional collective life style. No avant-garde theatre company was more emblematic of the rebellious spirit of the sixties than the Living Theatre. Like the first great transformation, the Becks' encounter, their personal values and the form of theatre they created had blended 'so inextricably that the vitality of each was dependent on the other.' The Becks always urged unity and harmony at all levels of human life, but not at any price. The anticapitalist ideal inspired the Becks to promote a politically motivated campaign throughout their productions. They believed the revolution is desirable but in the state of non-violence and the expansion of human consciousness. Julian Beck's gravestone identifies his as pet, painter, actor, and anarchist. The Living Theatre was a 'small umbrella' under which the Becks and its members could breath and unfold their dream on stage or in the street.

사설시조에서는 남성화자가 여성 님에 대한 그리움과 연모의 정을 토로하는 작품들이 급증하고 이 현상은 잡가에서 극대화된다. 이런 텍스트들은 근대 이후의 시에서 '여성예찬' 혹은 '여성의 초점화'와 같은 주제가 활성화되는 내적 토대가 되며 여성에 대한 당대의 시각변화를 반영하고 있어 사설시조가 내포하는 '근대성'을 규명하는 중요한 단서가 된다. '님'에 대한 애정을 노래한 사설시조는 애정의 성격에 따라 '상사형'과 '육정형'으로 나뉠 수 있는데 사설시조에서 특별히 부각되기 시작하는 유형은 '남성 상사형' 즉 남성화자가 여성 님에 대한 그리움을 노래하는 유형이다. 남성 상사형 사설시조는, 이전의 한국 시가의 전형적 패턴이 되어 온 '여성상사형' 즉 여성화자가 남성님을 향한 그리움과 연모의 정을 표현하는 유형과는 달리 ‘여성'이 발화와 가치의 중심에 놓인다는 특징을 지닌다. '상사형' 텍스트에서 '님'은 시적 화자에게 삶의 의미를 부여하는 가치의 총체이자 발화의 중심이 되는데 '남성 상사형'은 곧, 남성만이 차지하던 '님'의 자리에 여성도 위치하게 되었음을 알려주는 징표가 된다. 본고에서는 이를 '여성의 초점화'라는 용어로 포괄하여 사설시조 및 잡가를 통해 그 구체적인 양상을 살폈으며 근대 이후의 시에서 '마돈나' '그대' '당신'으로 지칭되는 여성 님의 존재를 부각시키는 내적 토대가 된다는 것을 검토하였다.

The neck is the human body is closely con-nected with the life and properties of keeping warm as one of the opening part in clothes. In ancient times it was put on necklace for the protection of neck and in Rome it was worn muffler called focale for the protection of neck throat. in addition cravat directly originated in necktie today was primarily worn for the protection of soldier's neck and has been turned into decorative purpose until today. As the ornament is developed to vari-ous kinds of form the neck decoration is changed and grown again and again. Therefore this thesis studies history of the neckwear and various the symbolic factor. The first factor is the social. The neckwear shows the social position class and status and does social mutual interaction as conversation starters. The second factor is the mental It express individuality fondness attitude and is felt to be indignity by being forced to be worn. The third factor is the political. it shows political tendency by indicating the royal sign or part's sign in necktie like the French royal-ist's green muffler The forth factor is the man's sexual. I expresses wearing stock being brave symbol-izing independence. The sixth factor is the traditional. It is worn with appearing traditionand custom and one of cultural movements. The seventh factor is the ideological. It symbolizes the freedom of suffragettes and emancipation of woman. The social factor is the most extensive among them. The neckwear is various in the way of expression like its kinds and is generalized, It functions as a independent part of clothes.

Kalopanax pictus is a long-lived woody species mostly distributed in East Asia. K. pictus has been regarded as medically and ecologically important species in Korea. Thornless castor aralia variant, local name 'Cheongsong' is an endemic to Cheongsong province in Korea. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to investigate the genetic variation and structure of Korean populations of two species. A high level of genetic variation was found in six K. pictus populations. Twelve primers revealed 49 loci, of which 29 were polymorphic (59.2%). Nei's gene diversity for K.pictus and K. pictus variant were 0.119 and 0.098, respectively. Mean of genetic diversity in K. pictus was higher than average values for species with similar life history traits. The asexual and sexual reproduction, perennial habitat, and longevity are proposed as possible factors contributing to high genetic diversity. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per generation (Nm=0.857) indicated that gene flow was not extensive among Korean populations of K.pictus. It is suggested that the isolation of geographical distance and reproductive isolation between K.pictus and K.pictus variant populations may have played roles in shaping the population structure of this species.
