  • In the family life cycle, the most important task the families with school children should perform is ‘child education’ and ‘socialization’ However, economic stress on poor families with school children presents multiple problems through the shortage of resources necessary for child education and socialization, inappropriateness of family appraisal, and the insufficiency of the control channels for the efficient management of these confined resources and appropriate appraisal. The objectives of this article are : First, to report research on the actual conditions of the poor families in one area of Cheju and on the relevant health welfare policy, and to examine the appropriateness of the direction and the substance of this policy in terms of the intervention in economic stress on the poor families under the categories of resource management and control of appraisal. Second, to analyze qualitative data extracted from the memoirs of single-parent families living in several areas of Korea under the conceptual framework constructed by literature review in order to get a better understanding of the stress which poor families with school children have experienced. And third, to confirm the factors that can be risk factor but, at the same time, strength to these poor families from presented data and to use them as the basic data from which an intervention model can be developed, based on resource management and control of appraisal. The findings of this article are : First, while the number of absolute poor families in one area of Cheju is increasing and, as a result, the danger of the possibility that multiple problems will occur is also growing, the supporting level of the current policy is no more than a direct resource offer and there is no evidence that resource management is being professionally carried out. When it comes to control of appraisal, due to absence of the professional human resources in this matter, policy performances such as technical education training can have a negative impact. Second, a conceptual framework introduced in this article, ; Economic Pressure → Helplessness → Poor self-esteem → Marital Conflict → Parent-Child financial conflict → Inappropriate socialization → Poor child social competence : is partly verified. And third, judging from the results of the qualitative data, it is confirmed that the healing families, having overcome poverty, show several positive characteristics including : hope, strength, and social support. These findings are identified with the factors of resiliency considered above. According to these results, this article suggests the following. The anti -poverty policy in the future should focus not only on a direct resource offer but also on resource management and the control of appraisal that can magnify its effects. In particular, close attention should be paid to school children since they are in the most crucial period for socialization. Moreover, an emotional labor is such an essential resource for intervention that skilled nurses should play pivotal roles.

  • 도라지는 초롱꽃과(Campanulaceae)에 속하는 여러해살이풀로 뛰어난 많은 약리 효능을 가지고 있어 예로부터 약재로 활용하였다. 또한 anthocyanin은 식물의 꽃이나 과실 등에 포함되는 보라색 또는 파란색을 띄는 천연색소로 강력한 항산화제로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는, 도라지꽃 추출물의 피부과학적 기능성과 꽃에 포함된 청자색 계열의 anthocyanin이 천연 색소로서 화장품 소재로의 활용 가치를 확인하고자 하였다. 우선, 도라지꽃에 50% 에탄올과 80% 에탄올을 가하여 25, 60과 80 ℃,에서 4 h 환류추출하였고 각 처리군의 pH는 유사하였다. Anthocyanin 함량과 색도(E*ab)를 바탕으로 도라지의 천연색과 가장 유사한 발색을 나타내는 50% 에탄올 60 ℃ 추출조건을 선정하였고, 농축, 동결건조하여 시료를 제조하였다. 도라지꽃 추출물의 기능성 성분인 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드와 총 anthocyanin 함량은 23 ㎍/mL, 16 ㎍/mL과 0.17 ㎍/mL였다. 도라지꽃 추출물은 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 자극한 RAW 264.7 세포의 NO, IL-6 등의 염증 매개물질의 생성을 억제하는 항염증 효능 뿐만 아니라 TNF-a에 의한 각질형성 세포의 손상 조건에서 상처 치유에 의한 피부 재생 효능을 보였다. 이렇듯 항염증과 재생에 효능을 보이는 천연색소인 도라지꽃 추출물의 주를 이루고 있는 색소는 anthocyanin계이다. 일반적으로 anthocyanin계 색소는 pH, 온도 등에 불안정하다고 알려져 색소안정화제 3 종 (EDTA, maltodextrin, citric acid)을 첨가하였을 때 anthocyanin 함량과 색도를 조사하였다. 5% maltodextrin 첨가된 도라지꽃 추출물에서 50 일까지 색도 값의 안정성을 확인하였고 이를 바탕으로 천연색소인 도라지꽃 추출물의 화장품 원료로서의 응용 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다.

  • Background: Hope is an important coping resource for cancer patients. Types and sources of hope and hope-inspiring strategies are not well investigated among Iranian cancer patients. The aims of present study were therefore to investigate the nature of hope and some demographic predictors of hope among Iranian cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was undertaken among 200 cancer patients admitted to an educational center affiliated to Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Participants were selected using a convenience sampling method. The Herth Hope Index and other validated questionnaires were used to investigate level of hope and types and sources of hope, as well as hope-inspiring strategies. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: The overall score for hope was 31 from total scores ranging between 12 and 48. Some 94% of patients mentioned 'return to normal life' and 'complete healing of disease by drugs and physicians' as their main hopes. The most important sources of hope reported by patients include spiritual resources, family members, healthcare workers, and medicines and treatments available for the disease. Relationship with God, praying/blessing, controlling the signs and symptoms of the disease, and family/health care workers' support were the main hope-inspiring strategies. Patients who had a history of metastasis, or who were older, illiterate, divorced/widowed and lived with their children reported lower levels of hope. On the other hand, employed patients and those with good support from their families had higher levels of hope. Conclusions: The study findings showed moderate to high levels of hope among Iranian cancer patients. Accordingly, the role of spiritual/religion, family members and health care workers should be considered in developing care plans for these patients.

  • This was a 2nd-year study aiming at developing the procedure of alternative system that was intended to restore not only biophysically disturbed areas but also psychologically and socially damaged community. It was suggested that this participatory restoration system could be constructed based on integrative categorization processes consisting of damage types and readiness of local residents for participation. Three case study sites-High-One resort, Lafarge-Halla cement, and high-altitude farmland near Gangneung city, were selected to apply the theoretical framework proposed as a result of 1st-year work. In order to develop introductory programs, key concepts such as forest for future, carbon offset forest, and healing forest, have been suggested based on analysis of 6 system components including human resources, communication, legal and institutional support, financial sources, restoration methods, and activity programs for each site. More detailed processes and procedures can be identified, defined, and refined after the end of final, 3rd-stage of the study in April of 2010.

  • The angiogenic activity of Aloe vera (Aloe baradensis), known as a good healing plant, was investigated. We have extracted and fractionated dichloromethane extract (G1M1D1) and methanol soluble fraction of dichloromethane extract (G1M1D1M1) which contain low-molecular weight substances of Aloe vera gel. G1M1D1 and G1D1M1 fractions induced a radially arranged, spoke-sheel-like vasculature in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The angiogenic activity was dose-dependent and the angiogenic pattern in the CAM assay. The angiogenic activity was dose-dependent and the angiogenic pattern in the CAM assay was very similar to that of phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) used as a positive control. The modified CAM assay, e simple and accurate quantitating method, was used to quntitate the angiogenic activity of G1D1M1 fraction. Application of G1M1D1M1 fraction ($100\mug/egg$) resulted in much more intense angiogenesis than in control while slightly less intense angiogenesis than in PMA (100 ng/egg).
