To estimate the genetic susceptibility for childhood lymphoma, we conducted an association study for 23 cases and 148 controls. Total 1536 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected in 138 candidate gene regions related to immune responses, apoptosis, the cell cycle, and DNA repair. Twelve SNPs were significantly associated with the risk of lymphoma ($P_{trend}$ <0.05) in six genes ($IL1RN$, $IL2$, $IL12RB1$, $JAK3$, $TNFRSF13B$, and $XRCC3$). The most significant association was seen for $IL2$ variant rs2069762 ($OR_{TG+GG}$ vs. TT=3.43 (1.29-9.11), $P_{trend}$=0.002, min$P$=0.005). These findings suggest that common genetic variants in $IL2$ might play a role in the pathogenesis of childhood lymphoma.

Objective : As prevalence of atopic dermatitis(AD) rises and medicine of atopic dematitis develops, the methods of measurement for atopic dermatitis have developed. Therefore, we aimed to establish a new sconring system in oriental medicine for a childhood atopic dematitis, by comparison, analysis of various sconing systems. Method : We searched for the data related to severity sconing systems of atopic dermatitis in Entrez PubMed on abroad thesis and KISS(Korenstdued Information Service System) on domestic thesis from 1990 to 2005. Result : Severity sconing systems for atopic dermatitis satisfy validity, reliability, sensitivity of change and verification of this. The essential items of severity sconing systems are extent, intensity and subjective symptoms. The lesion is divided into 9 areas(head and neck, upper limbs, elbow, hands, trunk, hip and inguinal, lower limbs, knee, feet). The items of intensity are erythema, oedema and induration and papulation, oozing and weeping and erosion, excorition, scaling, lichenification. The subjective symptom is pruritis, evaluated according to sleep loss and obstruction of play and study. The extent and intensity is evaluated in combination. We suggested that extent and intensity occupied for 70% and subject symptoms accounted for 30% of total score.

This study examined the meaning of instructional materials by observing the daily work of an infant class in a daycare center to make some suggestions on the accreditation and evaluation of instructional materials for early childhood education and educare. Ethnography was chosen to determine in detail what the instructional materials meant for the selected preschoolers. The activities that belonged to each area of free optional activities and made use of instructional materials were observed, and the eating time, nap time, and outdoor play were all observed. The data were gathered by visiting the selected daycare center. A participant observation and teacher interviews were conducted, and notes were taken on the spot. When their verbal expressions and nonverbal expressions needed to be observed owing to their unique characteristics, a camcorder was used to record their words to have a more profound understanding of them. All the collected data that included this researcher's observation note, the teacher interview data, the standard childcare curriculum manual, the daycare center's yearly, and the daily childcare plans and curriculum evaluation data were classified and categorized by performing an inductive analysis. As a result, the instructional materials had three meanings for the infants. The first was "friends who welcomed them and whom they could play with.' The second was "a cozy nest," and the third was "another teacher." Given the findings of the study, the preparation of standards for instructional materials for infants in childcare facilities is required, and even equipment that is used as instructional materials should be taken into consideration when instructional materials for infants are accredited.

This study examines the effects of children's play activities through forest experience on their parents' expectation and multiple intelligence improvement. To achieve this, an empirical survey was conducted by applying a structural equation model to 152 parents with children. As a result, first, physical and cognitive factors were adopted, and social factors were rejected in the factors that influence the physical, social, and cognitive factors of children's forest experience play activities on parents' expectation of children's safety activities and concern about fine dust. Second, their physical, social and cognitive factors affected their sociality among sub-factors of multiple intelligence improvement. Their social and cognitive spontaneities significantly affected their sensitivity and creativity improvements. Third, parents' expectation did not appear to play a significant mediating role in the effect of play activity through forest experience on multiple intelligence improvement. This study has confirmed that their physical and cognitive factors of play activities through forest experience are directly affected by their parents' concern about fine dust and expectation of their safe activities, and has suggested that their sociality can be thoroughly learned through various educational programs in daycare centers, which is somewhat far from their parents' expectation of their play activities through forest experience.

The purpose of this study is related to the performing arts with a focus on early childhood play and drama activities carried out studies to analyze the phenomenon of a certain period of time. We use bibliometric analysis as a research method and analyze researches(65 theses, 15 academic journals total 80)which is published by Feb, 2015 as subjects. The research results are as follows. First, the analysis result by published year says that theses is most done in 2009, academic journals is done about 3 times in 2008, 2013. Second, quantitative study is more done than qualitative study in study trend, especially experimental study of quantitative study. Third, about study objective and effect verification, study about active-centered integrated curriculum and creativity is usually done as study objective. And effect verification is effective generally according to study problems. Fourth, difference verification according to quantitative analysis method is most done as data analysis method.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among 'leisure constraints', 'leisure sufficiency' and 'life satisfaction' perceived by late middle-aged adults. The subjects of this research were 275 adults from 50 to 64. The results are as follows: 1) Among 5 categories of 'leisure constraints', the subjects perceive' financial constraints' as the most important, and in order of importance, 'social constraints', 'physical constraints', and 'familial constraints' followed. 2) Among five 'leisure activities', a factor perceived most sufficiently by middle-aged adults is 'simple relaxation' and followed by 'social activities', 'activities with family'. 'learning activities', and 'play-recreation activities'. 3) The factors influencing life satisfaction perceived by late-middle aged adults are 'religion', 'financial constraints', 'education', 'familial constraints', 'physical constraints', 'learning activities', and 'play-recreation activities'. These 7 factors explain 38.9% of total variation. Also, the 'leisure constraints' has a greater impact on their 'life satisfaction' than on their 'leisure sufficiency'.
