The food habits and health complaints were studied for 459 persons, 60 years and over, in the rural area, JKurye-Gun Chonnam, from April 28 to May 1, 1986. by the questionnaire sheets ; one was for the food habits, and the other was for health complaints(the standarized questionnair designed in Todai Health Index). The results obtained were as follows. 1) Mean score of the food habit was 11.2$\pm$3.5 in male and 10.8$\pm$2.9 in female. The score in both sexes showed a falling tendency as their ages increased. 2) THI scores in surfferings eye & skin, mouth & anus were higher (p<0.01, p<0.05, p<0.01) in female than in male. As age increased, the THI score showed a rising tendency. In case of male, THI socre in digestive organs was higher (p<0.05) in sixties than in other age. 3) The rate of living together with their family or spouse in the male aged was 77% higher than in the female aged. whilte the rate of celibacy in the female aged was 28%, higher than 3% in the male aged. DMF value was higher in female than male. The amount of alcohol ingestion were 2.1 and 0.6 Cup in male and female, respectively and the amount of smoking were 10.5 and 3.1 cigarettes in male and female respectively. Both alcohol intake and smoking were higher in male(p<0.01) 4) In case of male, the correlation coefficient between the score of food habit and THI score was negative in suffering eye & skin, mouth & anus, respectively, and in female it was negative in digestive, mouth & anus. As the score of food habit become low, the THI score become high. 5) Those living alone in both sexes showed a low score in food habit.

As facilities performing the production, processing, preservation, and shipment of agricultural products; agricultural facilities are categorized into planting facilities and livestock facilities based on the management target. Agricultural facilities are set in farmlands, and facility users mainly complain about the legal or institutional restrictions on farm rather than their own facilities itself. From 2009 to 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) published the "Casebook of farmer Complaints on Farmlands" in order to help answer farmers' questions and support public workers' workloads. However, contents related to agricultural facility installed in farmland are currently not dealt with in particular. Among agricultural facilities, demands of property rights with livestock facilities have risen due to construction permissions, operational restrictions, and high initial investment costs; and relevant laws were revised and are now being executed. However, for planting facilities such as mushroom facilities, ginseng facilities, and greenhouses; farmer complaints related to property rights are constantly increasing because revisions to relevant laws are not being made despite the rising diversity of construction materials through technical developments as well as the rising scale of assets-i.e. mechanization, automation, and the application of New Regeneration Energies according to capital influx. In this study, the current state of relevant agricultural facility legislation were organized and their drawbacks deduced in order to propose improvements of Agricultural Facility Legislation. The result of interviewing with public workers and farmers show that agricultural facilities should be regarded as extensions of farmlands rather than as facilities built in land where development actions were being taken. Alternatives able to reflect these opinions were suggested through expert consultation.

Background and Objectives : Vocal fold paresis is a clinical condition and considered as a continuum of neurologic dysfunction encompassing partial denervation and variable degrees and patterns of reinnervation. Its incidence, clinical presentation, significance are incompletely understood and still debated. This study describes the clinical, electromyographic findings in patients who presented with complaints of dysphonia and whose laryngoscopic finding revealed vocal fold paresis. Materials and Method : 47 patients (male : 25, female : 22) who referred to Ewha Womans University Medical Center Voice clinic for evaluation of vocal complaints were enrolled in this study. All patients had undergone a through history and physical examination including strobovideoscopic and laryngoscopic examination. Patients with in the history and/or laryngoscopic examination suggestive of vocal fold paresis were evaluated by laryngeal electromyography (LEMG). Results : Of these patients, 23 (48.9%) were found to have evidence of neuropathy on LEMG. There was no significant difference in voice symptoms and laryngoscopic findings between two groups of patients with evidence of neuropathy and who show normal findings on LEMG. Conclusion : LEMG can clinically help to guide the evaluation and management of vocal fold paresis. Due to some limitations of LEMG, laryngoscopic findings and clinical correlations should also be considered when diagnosing the vocal fold paresis.

Background One of the reasons women with macromastia chose to undergo a breast reduction is to relieve their complaints of back, neck, and shoulder pain. We hypothesized that changes in posture after surgery may be the reason for the pain relief and that patient posture may correlate with symptomatic macromastia and may serve as an objective measure for complaints. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of reduction mammaplasty on the posture of women with macromastia. Methods A prospective controlled study at a university medical center. Forty-two patients that underwent breast reduction were studied before surgery and an average of 4.3 years following surgery. Thirty-seven healthy women served as controls. Standardized lateral photos were taken. The inclination angle of the back was measured. Regression analysis was performed for the inclination angle. Results Preoperatively, the mean inclination angle was 1.61 degrees ventrally; this diminished postoperatively to 0.72 degrees ventrally. This change was not significant (P-value=0.104). In the control group that angle was 0.28 degrees dorsally. Univariate regression analysis revealed that the inclination was dependent on body mass index (BMI) and having symptomatic macromastia; on multiple regression it was only dependent on BMI. Conclusions The inclination angle of the back in breast reduction candidates is significantly different from that of controls; however, this difference is small and probably does not account for the symptoms associated with macromastia. Back inclination should not be used as a surrogate "objective" measure for symptomatic macromastia.

In order to investigate the complaint rates of subjective fatigue symptoms and study the relationship between them and body type, health awareness in middle school students, we carried out a survey of 1,209 students (654 boy students and 555 girl students) at a middle school in Taejon City by a self-recorded questionnaire. The survey was conducted in June, 1997. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Among complaints of fatigue, "feel like lying down" was the highest, followed by "feel anxious about things", "feel drowsy", "yawning a lot", "eye strain" and "whole body feels tired" in descending order. 2. In the average weighted score of fatigue complaint, dullness and sleepiness (I) was the highest, followed by a difficulty in concentration (II) and bodily projection of fatigue (III) in descending order. Fatigue seems to create mental stress rather than physical burdens. 3. In the classification of body type based on the $R\ddot{o}hrer$ index, the obesity type (145 and above) was 11.0%, standard type (110~144) was 64.7% and leptosomic type (l09 and below) was 24.3%. Comparison between both sexes revealed that the rate of obesity and leptosomic types were significantly higher in boy students than in girl students. 4. In terms body type awareness, the statistics are the following: those who consider themselves to be standard type, 44.3%, slightly obese 24.5%, leptosomic, 23.5% and obese 7.8%. However, the level of obesity awareness was significantly higher in girl students than in boy students. 5. As for health awareness, 36.5% considered themselves healthy, 5.4% generally healthy and 10.1% a little unhealthy, but the level of unhealthy awareness was higher in girl students than in boy students. 6. In the relationship between body type and health awareness, most students thought that they were obese in spite of their standard body type. Also, many students who were obese and leptosomic tended to consider themselves to be a little unhealthy. 7. The more the students were obese or felt unhealthy, the more the average weighted score of fatigue complaints was high.

The psychiatric interview is not a random or arbitrary meeting between doctor and patient. It is a systematic attempt to understand the relationship of psychopathology to emotional conflicts in patient, and interviewing is an in rather than a science, a skill that can be acquired but probably not taught. The faculty of the Seoul National University Hospital, Department of Psychiatry, have been providing 12 sessions of seminar on Psychiatric Interview and Psychopathology every year for the first year residents for the past 15 years. The authors presented three cases materials with their understandings of psychopathology and psychodynamics, each of which the authors had performed live interviews for 50 minutes in front of the residents. Those are a young male with conversion disorder whose chief complaints was motor aphasia, a young college girl with paranoid schizophrenia whose chief complaints were persecutory and erotic delusions with auditory hallucination, and a climacteric female in delusional disorder who had a delusion of infidelity. The most frequent questions the residents raised after the presentations were on the significances of the first interview, danger of making the diagnoses with short interviews, and methodology of questionings and not-questionings. In reply the authors discussed the importance of understandings of psychopathology and psychodynamics, the flexibility of the techniques of interviewing, and priority-related matters in which the understanding of psychodynamics proceed to the diagnoses.
