Meta-analysis methods are becoming a central part of research integration in behavioral and medical science studies. The main goal of the meta-analysis is combining the quantitative findings from several studies which address the same research problem and is sharing conclusions in a published report. The purpose of this research is to develop meta-analysis approach to evaluate effectiveness of instructional program design to improve school-age children's knowledge and understanding of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). To achieve this purpose, meta-analysis is applied to analyze and synthesize findings for AIDS instructional programs from several prior studies.

The purpose of this paper is to review the literature of AIDS/HIV (acquired immune deficiency syndrome/human immunodeficiency virus) and to introduce physical therapy of the AIDS client. It was first reported that five young homosexual men, in 1981 in Los Angeles, died of pneumonia caused by pneumocystis carinii - called "pest of twentieth century". AIDS was implied a fatal breakdown of the functioning of the normal human immune system. The major routes of transmission has occurred via l)sexual contact between men, 2)heterosexual intercourse, 3)contaminated blood and blood products, and 4)intrauterine or pre-natal infection from mothers. AIDS clients who may require physical therapy for a wide range of problems due to respiratory, neurological, musculoskeletal and painful syndromes as well as general decline in fitness and function. AIDS is growing rapidly in our contury as well as all over the world. Therefore, physical therapist has to correct his understandings of AIDS in order to protect himself and to give proper physical therapy to the AIDS clients.

Incidence of low-temperature contact burn by use of an electric pad is increased recently, especially in depressed sensory. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome patient using antiretroviral agent suffered with sensory depression as side effect. There are many limitations in wounds treatment of these patients. These patients are vulnerable to infection due to their weak immunity, so it is necessary to keep them in a state of isolation when a wound occurs. We report a case of a third degree burn by electric pad with a surface area of approximately 5% of the body surface of a patient who underwent a sensory depression, which is a side effect of antiretroviral drugs used for treatment in patients with AIDS. In this regard, we report the case with literature review, which is safely recovered using negative-pressure wound therapy and split-thickness skin graft.

The purpose of study is to find out common factors and variables that affect common factors in level of right knowledge. attitude behavior with respect to AIDS. During the period form Apr.1. 1995 to Jun. 30. guestionnaires, written both in Korean and English. were distributed to Korean Malaysion employees woring at a certain Korean Video companies. and results of replies. given by 80 workers by country. were used as the research matrials. The gathered marials were analyzed through the SPSS package t-test. ANOVA. factor analysis. and the following results were obtained. The 4 extracted common factors could be named 'general publicity', 'transmissive knowledge', 'diagnosis. prevention'. and 'limitted publicity'. The means of trasimssive knowledge. diagnosos. prevention. limtted publicity factors showed higher means in groups who had beyond university level of education than in showed higher means in groups who beyond university level of education than in groups who had below high school level of education. There was a significant relationship between general publicity factor and econmic state. and between limitted publicity factor and preventive education

Objectives : We examined quality of life, psychosocial adjustments to illness, changes in sexual functioning, and prevalence of psychiatric disorders in AIDS patients compared to patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB). Methods : Thirty-one men with AIDS and 50 men with CHB were enrolled. The Short-Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12), the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS), and the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire short form (CSFQ-14) were administered. Results on these assessments were compared between the 31 AIDS patients and 50 CHB patients. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSMIV (SCID) was administered to determine the psychiatric diagnosis only for the AIDS patients. Results : The Physical Component Summary score (PCS) was lower in AIDS patients than in CHB patients (p<0.001). In the section examining sexual relationships, AIDS patients exhibited a lower level of adjustment (p<0.05) and had more changes in sexual function (p<0.05) than did CHB patients. Administration of the SCID to AIDS patients indicated that the lifetime prevalence of any psychiatric disorder was 56.7% ; 43.3% for mood disorders, 33.3% for alcohol use disorders, 26.7% for anxiety disorders, and 20% for adjustment disorder. Patients who had experienced any psychiatric disorder had more severe psychosocial distress (p=0.004) and evidenced a lower level of overall psychosocial adjustment (p=0.030) than patients who had not. Conclusion : We showed that AIDS patients have a high prevalence of psychiatric disorders, and that AIDS patients with psychiatric disorders were particularly low in levels of psychosocial adjustment. Thus, careful attention should be given to psychiatric aspects of AIDS patients emphasizing the early diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) is a serious disease epidemic unparalled in modern medicine. To a far greater degree than most other disease, AIDS elicits highly emotional, prejudicial and hysterical reactions from the public. Nurses, more than

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors influencing the stigma communication concerning HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)/AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) patients between health and medical college students. Methods: In this descriptive study, the participants were 158 college students from a certain university. Data were collected from September 18 to September 30, 2018. Self-reported questionnaires were used to measure AIDS-related knowledge, homosexual awareness, fear of HIV/AIDS patients and stigma communication. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation and a stepwise multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The factors influencing the stigma communication between health and medical college students were a fear of HIV/AIDS patients (β=.47, p<.001) and homosexual awareness (β=-.15, p=.040), which together explained 28.0% of the variance in the model. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that an education program for health and medical college students should be developed. Additionally, when designing the education program, it is recommended that the contents for inducing attitude changes should include affective areas as well as knowledge-oriented contents. The study suggests that it is necessary to provide a systematic education program to decrease the stigma for HIV/AIDS patients before health care providers enter clinical practice.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Anti-HIV agents targeting various steps in HIV life cycle have been developed; however, so far, no effective drugs have been found. We show here that a peptide isolated from Spirulina maxima (SM-peptide) inhibits HIV-1 infection in a human T cell line MT4. SM-peptide inhibited $HIV-1_{IIIB}$-induced cell lysis with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 0.691 mM, while its 50 % cytotoxic concentration ($CC_{50}$) was greater than 1.457 mM. Furthermore, the SM-peptide inhibited the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity and p24 antigen production. This suggests that SM-peptide is a novel candidate peptide, which may be developed as a therapeutic agent for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients.

본 연구에서는 울금 20% 주정 추출물이 LP-BM5 MuLV에 감염된 MAIDS 모델에서 면역조절 효과를 확인하기 위해 cytokines 생산, 혈장 면역글로불린 농도, T 세포 및 B 세포의 증식능, NK 세포의 활성능을 측정하였다. 그 결과 LPBM5 MuLV 감염으로 인하여 감소된 T 세포 및 B 세포의 증식능, NK 세포의 활성능을 울금 20% 주정 추출물 식이 투여가 증가시켰으며, Th1 type cytokines(IL-2, IFN-${\gamma}$)의 생성량을 증가시키고 Th2 type cytokines(IL-4, IL-10)은 억제시킴으로써 Th1/Th2 type cytokine 발현을 조절하여 면역 항상성을 유지하는 효과를 보였다. 따라서 울금은 면역조절 효과를 가진 천연 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.
