  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects and develop the contents of a children's care program with traditional Korean medicine in a public health center. Methods: Data were collected from 28 parents who participated in a children care program with traditional Korean medicine. The program was started in June of 2011 in Gangjin-Gun public health center and finished in September of the same year. The questionnaires to measure effect and satisfaction with the program were composed of demographic items, family information, Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), Parenting Stress Index (PSI), children health improvement checklist, etc. The questionnaires were executed before and after the program. Results: The PWBS scores increased (4.00, 3.66) and PSI scores decreased (-7.30. -5.95) significantly after the program. The satisfaction with the program was 100%, and 94% in the two groups, and treatment and lecture were mentioned as the best aspects of the program. Eating habits, sleep conditions, and activity also improved after the program. Conclusions: From these results, the children care program with traditional Korean medicine is worthy for improving children's health condition and reducing their parents' stress.

  • The concentrations of trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, and Zn) were determined in 49 surface sediment samples collected in Yeoja and Gangjin Bays on the south coast of Korea, which contain many shellfish farms, in order to assess the contamination level and to understand the spatial distribution of trace metals. The average metal concentrations in the surface sediments of both bays decreased in the order Fe > Mn > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > As > Cd > Hg. There were no differences in metal concentrations between shellfish farms and reference sites. The metal concentrations were significantly higher in Gangjin Bay than in Yeoja Bay. Notably, the Cu, Cd, and Hg concentrations were nearly twice as high in Gangjin Bay as in Yeoja Bay. A multivariate analysis showed a strong correlation among Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cr in the sediments of both bays, implying that the metal concentrations in the sediments in the study area were mainly dependent on natural processes, such as crustal components and diagenesis. Based on the geoaccumulation index and marine sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), the surface sediments in Yeoja and Gangjin Bays are not polluted by trace metals.

  • Celadon shards from Gangjin and Buan were analyzed for their color, chemistry and microstructures. They exhibited similar chromatic characteristics in a $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ analysis. All of the glazes assessed showed comparable compositional areas, while the bodies from Gangjin shards had higher $RO_2$ concentrations. A high degree of similarity was also noted in the microstructures of the glaze and bodies from both regions. Anorthite crystals appeared in the glaze layer, and phase separation behavior developed around these crystals. This may have been caused by the glaze chemistry and the sintering process given the lengthy heating and cooling time. A Raman analysis indicated higher isolated $SiO_4$ unit ($Q_0$) values for the Buan samples. This can stem from the higher firing temperature or the longer sintering process.

  • This research is about the monitoring of people's consciousness on ecosystem change after coastal restoration project in Gangjin Bay. Tidal flat ecosystem of Ganjin Bay was major producing district of short-necked clam in Jeonnam Province. Owing to coastal restoration project (sand gathering and dredging) during 5 years, however, ecosystem was disturbed and harvesting of fish was decreased. Although a few of ark shell and oyster are harvested but drastically decreased. Even aging and depopulation is general situation like other rural regions, life pattern of villages and depopulation in Gangjin Bay was influenced by drastic decreasing of income. As the results of social monitoring, drastic decreasing of fish and shell in Gangjin Bay is significantly concerned with coastal restoration project (sand gathering and dredging) and also with difficulty of fresh-water inflow to coastal bay because of Jangheung Dam. In order to get the detail information on the cause and consequence of ecosystem change in tidal flat, it is necessary to apply the long-term socio-economic monitoring as well as biological and ecosystem monitoring.

  • We observed zooplankton community to understand variations in the species composition and abundance in Gangjin Bay. Samples were collected bimonthly from February to November 1999 at 10 stations in Gangjin Bay of the southern part of Korea. Zooplankton communities consisted to nine taxa and mean biomass was 2,028 indiv. $m^{-3}$. The maximum abundance was observed to be 5,496 indiv. $m^{-3}$ in February and the minimum in November, 78 indiv. $m^{-3}$. Copepods dominated and most diverse in Gangjin Bay. Seasonal fluctuation in the copepod abundance varied between 42 and 4,159 indiv. $m^{-3}$. Dominant species are Acartia omorii, Centrophages abdominalis, Paracalanus indicus and A. steueri. Cladoceran also dominated and the maximum abundance was 765 indiv. $m^{-3}$ in April. A. omorii and Oithona davisae dominated in February, A. omorii, Eurytemora pacifica, Evadne nordmanni and Podon polyphemoides in April, Tortanus dextrilobatus and decapod nauplius in June, Paracalanus indicus, E. tergestina and Penitia avirostris in August and A. erythraea and P. indicus in October. In November, P. indicus and Sagitta crassa dominated.

  • Eight fecal sterols were analyzed in surface sediments collected from shellfish farming areas in Yeoja Bay and Gangjin Bay, Korea, to evaluate sewage-derived fecal pollution. The concentrations of coprostanol, a good marker of sewage-derived organic contamination, in sediments were in the range of 10-530 ng/g-dry in Yeoja Bay, and 10-190 ng/g-dry in Gangjin Bay. Coprostanol levels were markedly higher in the inner bay than in the outer bay. These levels were lower than those reported in urbanized bays in Korea, however, they were comparable to levels in other shellfish farming areas including Gamak Bay. A multivariate analysis of the ratios of other sterols suggested that the sterols originated from sewage and plankton/benthos. Sewage was the dominant source at stations located close to the river mouth and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) outfalls, and plankton/benthos was the primary source in the outer bay. These results suggest that management of point sources, e.g., WWTP as well as non-point sources, e.g., riverine inputs is important for improving the water quality in Yeoja Bay and Gangjin Bay.

  • To investigate the variations of physicochemical factors and microbial populations in seven stations at water region of Gangjin bay, nutritive salts, water temperature, transparency, suspended solid, salinity, COD, DO, pH, heterotrophic bacteria, fungi and fecal coliform were analysed four times from February to October, 1999. Total fecal coliform and heterotrophic bacterial population during investigation periods ranged 16.1~166.0 CFU/ml and $5.0{\times}10^3$~$13.1{\times}10^3$CFU/ml, respectively. Stational mean values of these bacterial population showed higher densities at the inlet of fresh water inflow than those of other stations. When the aspects of abiotic and biotic parameters measured were analyzed, ecosystem of Gangjin bay was regulated by factors such as inflow of fresh water, nutrient salts, salinity and variation of water temperature during four seasons.

  • To investigate the variations of environmental and microbial populations in six stations at water region of Gangjin Bay, nutritive salts, water temperature, COD, DO, pH, heterotrophic bacteria, fungi and facal coliform bacteria were analysed four imes from February to November, 1998. These data were subjected to simple statistics, correlation analysis and principal factor analysis. Ecosystem of Gangiin Bay was regulated by 2∼4 factors during four seasons. We estimated that it was mainly influenced by inflow of fresh water, nutrient salts, suspended solids, salinity and variation of water temperature. These results suggested that influences of environmental factor of Gangiin Bay was relatively less than those of other bays.

  • The present study was performed to investigate the infection status with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) in fishes from 2 sites, the middle and lower reaches, of Tamjin-gang (River) in Jeollanam-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 1,132 fishes in 22 species were collected from the middle reaches in Jangheung-gun for 4 years (2014-2017) and 517 fishes in 17 species were also collected from the lower reaches in Gangjin-gun in 2014 and 2017. They were all individually examined with the artificial digestion method in our laboratory. CsMc were detected in 322 (28.5%) out of 1,132 fishes from Jangheung-gun, and in 161 (31.1%) out of 517 fishes from Gangjin-gun, and their densities were 51 and 57 per fish infected each. In the fish species with CsMc, positive rates were 61.5% in Jangheung-gun and 62.7% in Gangjin-gun. A total of 222 Pungtungia herzi were examined and they were all infected with CsMc. The average intensity was 103 CsMc in the index fish, P. herzi (95 in Jangheung-gun and 121 in Gangjin-gun). In P. herzi bimonthly examined in 2017, the intensity was commonly most higher in March in 2 surveyed sites, however the significant seasonal endemicity was not showed. Conclusively, it was confirmed that CsMc is more or less prevalent in fishes from Tamjin-gang and their endemicity is higher in fish from the lower reaches in Gangjin-gun than the middle reaches in Jangheung-gun in Jeollanam-do, Korea.
