The purpose of this study is to find out how the adult's mental health in Korea has an impact on the quality of the life. By using '2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey' data, 4,211 people among 20-year-old to 59-year-old adults were enrolled in this study. Frequency and percentage t-test using the SPSS WIN18.0 Multiple regression analysis was conducted and the results of this study are as follows. First, it is showed that in the 20s and 30s the females are a little more sleep than the males regarding the relationship between sleeping hours and the quality of the life of adult men and women. However, there are no differences between the 40s and 50s groups. Second, it is indicated that adult men are higher than women for the subjective health status when it comes to the subjective health status and the usual perceived stress. Although there are no statistical differences according to the gender in the 40s and the 50s, they have a little stress in general. Third, it is confirmed that only the subjective health status and usual stress perception give an beneficial influence on the quality of adult's life in the adult's mental health variations and the quality of life. In summary, this study was found that the adults in the 20s and 50s could increase their satisfaction of their life if they have more positive thinking and less stress from their life. Therefore, the systematical education and programs to manage the health and stress are required.

The purpose of this study was to compare the compression force and thickness of the compressed breast between mediolateral oblique and craniocaudal mammography. This population consisted of 204 paired mediolateral oblique and craniocaudal mammography obtained on one mammographic unit by certified mammography technologists during 2 month period. The women examined were $30{\sim}59$ years old with breast implants, the patients were classified into 3 groups according to age, $30{\sim}39$, $40{\sim}49$, and $50{\sim}59$, prior breast cancer, mastectomy or breast deformity were excluded. The digital readout of compressed breast compression force and thickness was recorded. Mammographic positioning was assessed using standard criteria. The mean compression force of the compressed breast on the craniocaudal projection was less than the mean compression force on the mediolateral projection(14 versus 13.88 daN, p<0.05). The mean thickness of the compressed breast for mediolateral projection was 41.46 mm and that for the craniocaudal projection was 39.50 mm(p<0.05). The compressed breast is higher or thicker on mediolateral oblique than on craniocaudal mammography.

Based on an analysis on the difference on the measurement sites and their relations to osteoporosis diagnosis and prevalence, this study attempts to investigate the patterns of prevalence in skeletal sites in the aging process. The samples were driven by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008-2010) on Korean females (n = 4,449) aged from 50 to 89 years. The result shows that the differences on affected sites in the aging process were detected as follow: the osteoporosis prevalence in lumbar spine was relatively high in 50s, 60s and 70s; however, the prevalence in the proximal femur (total hip and femoral neck) was higher in 80s. In terms of the diagnosis identified in a single site, the prevalence in lumbar spine seemed to decrease as age increases; but, the rate went up in the figure of femoral neck. Overall, the osteoporosis prevalence for the diagnosis detected in multiple sites was increased as age goes up. In general, the increase in lumbar osteoporosis prevalence starts earlier than that of femoral neck. The findings of this study also suggests that if the proximal femur site is only used for diagnosing women age in 50s, 60s and 70s, the significant portion of osteoporosis patients could be misdiagnosed as normal.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the purchase intention of outdoor products for 40s - 50s consumers The factors influencing the purchase intention are various factors, but the service quality and the consumption value are analyzed from an exploratory viewpoint. The quality of service was set as detailed, tangibles, responsiveness, and reliability. Consumption value was set as functional value, rare value, and conditional value. As a result, tangibles, responsiveness, and reliability of the service quality, the functional value influences the purchase intention, but the rare value and the conditional value of the consumption value indicate the purchasing intention. The result of this analysis shows that service quality is a very important factor for consumers' purchase intention in 40's - 50's consumers, but consumption value is not very important factor in purchase intention.

The cellular senescence may be due to damage by the reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study has compared the antioxidant activity in the human cell lines of various origins, including 10S and 50S-derived normal skin fibroblasts, and 10S bone marrow, dental tissue and adipose-derived adult stem cells. After being exposed to $H_2O_2$, half inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) values by cytotoxicity assay was significantly (P<0.05) lower in 50S-derived skin fibroblasts, than in 10S-derived skin fibroblasts and various adult stem cell lines. The cell population doubling time (PDT) and the cell frequency with high senescence associated-${\beta}$-galactose activity were remarkably increased in 50S-derived fibroblasts exposed to 50 ppm $H_2O_2$ for 7 days, than those of 10S-derived fibroblasts and various adult stem cell lines. Further, the expression level of antioxidant-related genes, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT), was investigated in 10S and 50S-derived skin fibroblasts, and 10S-derived various adult stem cells by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression level of GPX was higher in most of cell lines, compared to CAT, and a significantly (P<0.05) higher expression level of GPX was observed in 10S-derived skin fibroblasts and adult stem cell lines, compared to 50S-derived skin fibroblasts. We concluded that old-aged skin fibroblasts seemed to be less resistant against ROS than young-aged skin fibroblasts and adult stem cells.

The purpose of this research was to measurement real accmmnodative response amount of emmetropia using both eyes open-view auto-refractometer. We classified 377(male 146, female 231)eyes showing good naked vision at least 1.0, with a spherical equivalent refraction of under ${\pm}0.50D$ and cylindercal refraction of under -0.75D, from 10 to 59(mean $25.8{\pm}12.4$) years into 5 groups with 10 year interval and analyzed change of the near astigmatism and accommodative response amount to distinction of age. Age comparison, total mean 1.47D, 10 years age group 1.63D, 20 years age group 1.57D, 30 years age group 1.71D, 40 years age group 0.97D, and 50 years age group 0.05D. It was no difference between 10 to 30 years age group, But it showed the decre8.se which is remarkable from above 40 years age group and it does not almost response from above 50 years age group. Sexual difference, the man appeared some highly in male(mean $26.4{\pm}12.3$ years) 1.56D m female(mean $26.4{\pm}12.3$) 1.43D. Near-astigmatism power change, mean +0.12D, 10 years age group +0.06D, 20 years age group +0.16D, 30 years age group +0.09D, 40 years age group +0.05D, and 50 years age group +0,06D. No significant difference of astigmatism powers among the an groups, but from all years age group the astigmatism power appeared more highly far-astigmatism than near-astigmatism. Near-astigmatism axis change in the far-astigmatism changes at under ${\pm}10^{\circ}$ 103 eyes, above ${\pm}10^{\circ}$ rotation clockwise direction 108 eyes, above ${\pm}10^{\circ}$ rotation counter-clockwise direction 101 eyes. It was analyzed near-astigmatism axis change.

본 연구에서는 한국인 20대 남자 50명(23$\pm$2세)과 여자 50명(20$\pm$1세)의 MR 뇌 영상을 KAIST 뇌과학 연구센터에 있는 37 MRI 기기로 획득하였고 Brain Voyager(B/V)를 이용하여 소뇌의 부피를 측정하고자 한다. 남자와 여자의 뇌의 구조가 부분적으로 차이가 있다는 것은 이미 밝혀진 사실이다 남자의 전체적인 brain volume이 약 10% 크다는 사실도 잘 알려져 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서도 성별에 따라 소뇌의 부피의 차이가 있는지도 검증하고자 한다.(중략)
