  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Cryptococcus neoformans infection usually occurs in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or with a CD4 T lymphocyte count of <100 cells/µL. Pulmonary and central nervous system infections are the most frequently encountered forms of cryptococcosis; however, colonic cryptococcosis is uncommon. We describe the case of a 41-year-old antiretroviral-naïve man with HIV infection diagnosed eight years prior and intermittent diarrhea for 4 months who presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of low-grade fever and confusion. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed normal results; however, he was diagnosed with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia based on chest computed tomography and bronchoalveolar lavage analysis. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole administration was initiated followed by antiretroviral treatment. Although his condition gradually improved, he developed fever and abdominal discomfort, and the diarrhea worsened. Endoscopy revealed a small ulcer in the distal transverse colon. Histopathological examination of a colon tissue sample revealed cryptococcal infection. He improved substantially during liposomal amphotericin B and fluconazole treatment. We encountered a rare case of colonic cryptococcosis that caused chronic diarrhea in a patient with advanced HIV infection. Colonic cryptococcosis should be considered when patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome present with gastrointestinal symptoms.

  • 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.
