This study is a descriptive comparative investigated one to analyze nursing education system and curriculum of Korea and China trans-culturally. 1) Education System The basic level of nursing education in Korea consisted of 65 3-year- junior college of nursing (7379 students) and 48 4-year-bachelor of nursing college (2345 students) in 2000 showing more 3-year-junior college of nursing and its students. In China, western nursing as well as Chinese nursing education system were operating. In 2000, 501 western school of middle technical nursing, 29 school of middle technical nursing of middle level education, and 89 3-year western and 24 Chinese junior college of nursing, and 42 4-year western bachelor of nursing college and 10 Chinese of high level education have been established. The presence of Chinese school of middle technical nursing system seemed to be in slower development in nursing than Korea, but that of Chinese nursing education seemed to be advanced with its national identification prior to Korea. Post graduate continuous education for RN-Diploma and RN-BSN program has been opened as in Korea. The Hosa(護士) system in school of middle technical nursing in China reflects lower level of education than Korea. But it can be a merit, other than in Korea, without nurses aids, when they are acting under supervision of nurses and led by them, and there presents a special course for promotion up to high level education. Graduate school in Korea is divided into general type opening a curriculum for MS in 1960 and as of 2000, 21 general types for majoring in nursing. The PhD course in Korea was established in 1978, and after that the PhD courses have been opening in 14 universities at present. China established master degree course in 1991 and as of 7 colleges are ongoing, and the doctoral course is now under planning, resulting slower development than Korea. 2) Education of theory and clinical practice in Korea and Chine (1) Korea's 3-year junior nursing college have 51 subjects, 49 subjects in China, which was not different. China was following education of ideology and medical. 4-year Bachelor of Science College has 92 subjects in Korea with cultural subjects and essential major studies/elective in theory education in Korea, while 63 subjects in China, showed wider selection in Korea's education. (2) Korea's 3-year and 4-year nursing colleges performed clinical practice education parallel with theoretical education for a certain period, block or theory/practice system. While China's 3-year and 4 or 5-year-colleges educated the theory first and then practice for one year in the last grade, integrating each situation of the departments and the theory. (3) Korea's oriental nursing theory in nursing education was performed in 28 colleges of 65 nationwide ones of 3-year junior nursing colleges, but only one school was educating clinical practice. In 4-year bachelor of nursing colleges, the oriental nursing theory was done in 14 among 48 investigated. And 1-4 subjects of them were doing, and 4 schools performed of clinical practice, showing more reinforced than the junior colleges. China's 3-year and 4-5-year western nursing colleges taught two subjects of Chinese medicine nursing. China's 3-year & 4-5-year College of Chinese medicine nursing, theory of Chines medicine nursing education taught eight subjects. (4) 5-year colleges of Chinese medicine western integrated nursing, theory of Chinese medicine nursing education consisted of twelve Chinese medicine nursing subjects and two of Chinese medicine western integrated nursing subjects. China was tempting a new development of a pattern of Chinese medicine nursing subjects reinforced. 3) The verification of Korean and Chinese nurse's license. The verification test of Chinese nurses license is differentiated at the level of education other than in Korea. Expire date is 2 years and a qualified test must be done to a renewal. And the continuing education hours are 72 per year, which is more enforced than Korean nurses (10 hours a year). In accordance with WTO regulations, we should prepare for opening foreign hospital, educating oriental nursing subjects. And on this, it is recommendable to settle a basic frame research to run the oriental nursing practice ongoing. 1. It is desirable to develop the oriental nursing subjects to apply its idea to the western nursing and differentiate Korean nursing. 2. It is desirable to certify oriental nurse's characters, to expand and develop the nursing areas to practice it, and to establish the oriental nursing system. 3. It is expectable to promote Korean nursing specialization to develop the oriental nursing as a professional and to create its demand.

Objectives: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation are commonly associated with hyperhomocysteinemia, and through their defects in homocysteine metabolism, they have been implicated as a risk factor for recurrent spontaneous abortion. Recent report describe that 28-bp tandem repeat polymorphism in thymidylate synthase enhancer region (TSER) that influence enzyme activity would affect plasma homocysteine level. We have investigated the relationship between TSER genotype and plasma homocysteine level in 54 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Methods: Plasma homocysteine level was measured by fluorescent polarizing immunoassay. MTHFR mutation (C677T and A1298C) was identified by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay and TSER mutation was analyzed by PCR method. The data were analyzed using the program SAS 8.2 for Windows. Results: Total homocysteine level was significantly higher in MTHFR 677TT genotype ($9.80{\pm}3.87{\mu}mol/L$) than MTHFR 677CC genotype ($8.14{\pm}1.74{\mu}mol/L$) in Korean patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (p=0.0143). However, the plasma homocysteine level was not significantly different in the MTHFR 1298AA ($8.42{\pm}2.65{\mu}mol/L$) and 1298CC ($6.09{\pm}0.32{\mu}mol/L$; p=0.2058) and, TSER 2R2R ($8.61{\pm}1.68{\mu}mol/L$) and 3R3R ($8.05{\pm}2.81{\mu}mol/L$; p=0.9319) mutant genotypes, respectively. In this study, we found the combination effects of TSER and MTHFR C677T genotypes. Plasma homocysteine levels were the highest ($11.47{\pm}4.66{\mu}mol/L$) in individuals with TSER 3R3R ($8.05{\pm}2.81{\mu}mol/L$) and MTHFR 677TT ($9.80{\pm}3.87{\mu}mol/L$) genotypes. Individuals with a combination of both TSER 2R2R/2R3R and MTHFR 677CC/CT genotypes ($7.69{\pm}1.77{\mu}mol/L$) had lower plasma homocysteine levels than TSER 2R2R ($8.61{\pm}1.68{\mu}mol/L$) and MTHR 677CC ($8.14{\pm}1.74{\mu}mol/L$) genotypes, respectively. The effect of MTHFR polymorphism in the homocysteine metabolism appears to be stronger than that of TSER polymorphism. Conclusion: Although statistically not significant, we found the elevated level of plasma homocysteine in combined genotypes with TSER and MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) in Korean patients with unexplained habitual abortion. In this study, we reported the possibility that TSER polymorphism is a genetic determinant of plasma homocysteine levels in the Korean patients as well as MTHFR C677T polymorphism. A large prospective study is needed to verify our findings.

The newborn human is the only mammalian whose mother does not have a food supply ready for it's offspring at birth. From two to four days usually elapse before the mother's supply If milk appears, and during this period, some kind of artificial feeding should be supplied to the infants. Because of this factor, there has been continued debate fog the past hundreds of years as to when the first feeding should be started Accordingly, many experiments were carried out by scholars and because of these, Pre-lateral feedings were believed to be necessary. Many types of pre-lateral feedings were tried and the conclusion was reached that glucose water was the best food for the first infants'feedings. Traditionally, This has been started 12 hours after birth. The causes for the 12 hours delay were thought to (1) provide rest for the infants: (2) prevent regurgitation ana vomiting which tended to be prevalent during this tine: (3) in cases of low weight infants, prevention of aspiration pneumonia. From recent studies of newborn physiology and as pediatric medicine has been rapidly advancing, many studies hare been carried out concerning the improvement of infant nutrition and the early feeding of infants has been emphasized. This author believes it would be very beneficial to try two different kinds of feedings for the infant. (1) experimental feedings ana (2) comparative feeding, and during this period to investigate and compare the infants blood sugar level, hematocrit, gamma globulin level weight changes and to observe the infant reaction ill order to search for a more desirable feeding program. This study was conducted from January to March 1974 with data related to 40 healthy newborn infants (male 21, female 19: weight, 2.79∼4.20㎏ : gestation, 39∼40 weeks) born at Ewha Womens University Hospital and the results obtained were as follows : 1. At time of birth the blood sugar level from the cord sample averaged 88.99㎎/100㎖, but the blood sugar level rapidly dropped after 2 to 3 hours and reached the lowest point after 10 to 11 hours (54.48㎎/100㎖) and rose again by the 24 hour time period (76.80㎎/100㎖). Changes in the blood sugar level of the experiments: groups and the compare-five group was not significantly different until the 6 to 7 hour period, but by the 10 to 11 hour period the blood sugar levels of the experimental group (49,10㎎/100㎖) and the comparative group (49.70㎎/100㎖) were lower than the remainder of the experimental groups. 9. There ware no significant weight changes between the two groups. Average weight at birth was 3.35㎏, but at the 24 hours period birth weight averaged 3.29㎏. (1.8% reduction of birth weight). It continually lowered until at 48 hours, average weight was 3.26㎏ (2.7% reduction from birth weight.) 3. Hematocrit readings showed no significant difference between the groups. Hematocrit, the average value at birth, was 28.07% and abruptly elevated to average 64.35% at the 2 to 3 hour period, then slowly lowered to an average of 59.67% at the 6 to 7 hour period, 55.10% at the 10 to 11 hour period, ana 53.70% at the 24 hour period. 4. At birth, average gamma globulin value averaged 1,39㎎/100㎖. and at the 24 hour period averaged 1,52㎎/100㎖ revealing no significant difference between the two feeding groups. 5. Such factors as voiding, passing of meconium, regurgitation and vomiting showed no significance between the two feeding groups. However, the number of infants voiding and passing meconium in the experimental groups during the first 12 hours was slightly greater. In general there was an increased tendency for regurgitation and. vomiting among a small group of the infants during the first 24 hours which thereafter decreased. 6. Fluid intake averaged 24.38cc at the first feeding and increased to average 30.48cc at the third feeding and further increased to 73. 00cc at the fifteenth feeding. Finally it was suggested that the most reasonable method of early feeding is to give less than 25cc of 5% glucose water and/or 8% powdered milk at 8 to 9 flours after birth in order to prevent hypoglycemia and dehydration.

원유중의 아플라톡신 M₁의 오염도를 측정한 결과, 일부 지역 원유 중, 일반수준으로 관리한 지역의 집합유, HACCP으로 지정되어 관리되는 농가의 집합유, 아플라톡신 M₁ 저감화 배합사료를 제공한 지역의 집합유를 검체로 하여 1년간 아플라톡신 M₁의 수준을 모니터링을 실시한 결과, 일반적인 관리를 통해 집유된 집합유의 평균검출농도는 0.023±0.005 μg/l, HACCP 지정관리를 통해 집유된 집합유의 평균검출농도는 0.017±0.004 μg/l 그리고 저감화배합사료 제공을 통해 집유된 집합유의 평균검출농도는 0.013±0.003 μg/l으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 3개 지역 모두 한국이나 미국 그리고 유럽에서 정한 아플라톡신 M₁의 기준치 이하로 검출되었으며, 저감화 배합사료를 제공한 농가의 아플라톡신 M₁수준이 가장 적게 검출되었다. 아플라톡신 M₁의 특성으로서 사료공급상태에 따른 평균검출농도가 계절별로 차이가 나는 경향을 보이며, 3가지 실험군에서 공통적으로 여름철에 비해 겨울철 아플라톡신 M₁ 수준이 가장 높게 검출되었다. 이는 겨울철 사료의 관리미흡과 더불어 사료 보관기간이 늘어나며 일반배합사료의 섭취량이 증가되고 장기화됨에 따라, 젖소에서의 아플라톡신 B₁의 양이 농축되어 결과적으로 아플라톡신 M₁ 수준이 증가된 것으로 판단된다. 아플라톡신 M₁의 수준을 낮출 수 있는 가장 직접적인 방법으로는 곰팡이 독소를 흡착하게 하는 배합사료를 공급하여 원유로 아플라톡신 M₁이 전이되지 못하도록 하는 것으로써 일반수준으로 관리한 농가의 집합유에 비해 아플라톡신 M₁의 수준이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 효율적이고 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 아플라톡신 M₁의 수준을 낮출 수 있는 가장 효과적인 방안은 HACCP 지정관리를 통한 농가 및 사료의 관리라 할 수 있다. 또한 보다 실질적인 아플라톡신 M₁의 수준을 감소시키기 위해서는 정부의 제도적인 지원과 낙농업계의 관리 및 농가의 철저한 위생관리가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The survey on dental health condition and eating habit of local residents in Daegu and Kyungbuk had been conducted. Through the analysis of influence of dental health condition on eating habit I could get the following result. The number of subjects of survey is 630. The period of survey is from June 2006 to September 2006. 1. General quality of subjects is that forty-four point four percent of subjects are male and fiftyfive pointsix percent are female. The age of thirty point one percent of subjects is between 20 and 29. Fifty-six point two percent of subjects are married. Fifty-one point four percent of subjects have above bachelor degree. Monthly income of forty-four point eight percent of subjects is less than one million won. Twenty-four point four percent of subjects are students. Fifty-five point seven percent of subjects are living in big cities. 2. Forty-seven point seven percent of male and fifty-one point eight percent of female answered their subjective dental health condition is bad. Marital status, age and academic background have relationship with answer. Forty-three point nine percent of married subjects and forty-one point five percent of divorced or bereaved subjects said they have bad dental health condition. The older he is or the lower academic background he has subjects think they have bad dental health condition. Forty-seven point four percent of non-educated subjects answered their dental health condition is bad. Forty-six percent of self-employed subjects and subjects who live in the country have tendency to think their dental health condition is bad. 3. About eating habit knowledge, male's knowledge of 2.03$\pm$0.20 is lower than female's of 2.08$\pm$0.21. This shows there is statistically significant difference(p<0.01). 4. There is significant relationship between subjective dental health condition and health condition of subjective. This means subject who has better health condition has also better dental health condition(37.5%). About subjective dental health condition, subject who eats restoratives has worse dental health condition. This shows there is a relationship between dental health condition and eating restoratives(p=0.004) and subject who works out steadily has better dental condition. 5. About relation between dental health condition and eating habit, subject who eats vegetables has worse dental health condition by fifty point seven percent. As cross tabulation result, p-value is 0.002. In level of significance of 0.05, there is statistically significant difference in eating habit. 6. It seems that eating habit has an effect on marital status, age, academic background, income and also on dental prosthetic treatment situation. Many subjects think their dental health condition is bad. About eating habit, subjects who eat meat have better dental health condition. Subjects who drink green tea and fruit juice has better dental health condition than who drink coffee and Balanced diet is good for dental health condition. As eating habit is important for developing dental health, government should make a proper program. Dental health education program especially for elderly, low-eduacted, residents in the country and poor people should be developed. Government, dental health organization, dental health specialist, associated research institution and people work in the press should be concerned and devote to improve quality of life. Primary prevention education will help for dental health.

Objective: To provide a systematic overview of the effects of various parameters on contrast enhancement within the same population, an animal experiment as well as a computer-aided simulation study was performed. Materials and Methods: In an animal experiment, single-level dynamic CT through the liver was performed at 5-second intervals just after the injection of contrast medium for 3 minutes. Combinations of three different amounts (1, 2, 3 mL/kg), concentrations (150, 200, 300 mgI/mL), and injection rates (0.5, 1, 2 mL/sec) were used. The CT number of the aorta (A), portal vein (P) and liver (L) was measured in each image, and time-attenuation curves for A, P and L were thus obtained. The degree of maximum enhancement (Imax) and time to reach peak enhancement (Tmax) of A, P and L were determined, and times to equilibrium (Teq) were analyzed. In the computed-aided simulation model, a program based on the amount, flow, and diffusion coefficient of body fluid in various compartments of the human body was designed. The input variables were the concentrations, volumes and injection rates of the contrast media used. The program generated the time-attenuation curves of A, P and L, as well as liver-to-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) contrast curves. On each curve, we calculated and plotted the optimal temporal window (time period above the lower threshold, which in this experiment was 10 Hounsfield units), the total area under the curve above the lower threshold, and the area within the optimal range. Results: A. Animal Experiment: At a given concentration and injection rate, an increased volume of contrast medium led to increases in Imax A, P and L. In addition, Tmax A, P, L and Teq were prolonged in parallel with increases in injection time The time-attenuation curve shifted upward and to the right. For a given volume and injection rate, an increased concentration of contrast medium increased the degree of aortic, portal and hepatic enhancement, though Tmax A, P and L remained the same. The time-attenuation curve shifted upward. For a given volume and concentration of contrast medium, changes in the injection rate had a prominent effect on aortic enhancement, and that of the portal vein and hepatic parenchyma also showed some increase, though the effect was less prominent. A increased in the rate of contrast injection led to shifting of the time enhancement curve to the left and upward. B. Computer Simulation: At a faster injection rate, there was minimal change in the degree of hepatic attenuation, though the duration of the optimal temporal window decreased. The area between 10 and 30 HU was greatest when contrast media was delivered at a rate of 2 3 mL/sec. Although the total area under the curve increased in proportion to the injection rate, most of this increase was above the upper threshould and thus the temporal window was narrow and the optimal area decreased. Conclusion: Increases in volume, concentration and injection rate all resulted in improved arterial enhancement. If cost was disregarded, increasing the injection volume was the most reliable way of obtaining good quality enhancement. The optimal way of delivering a given amount of contrast medium can be calculated using a computer-based mathematical model.

학교구강보건은 학생의 구강건강을 합리적으로 관리하고, 구강건강에 대한 지식과 태도 및 행동을 변화시켜, 일생동안 구강건강을 적절히 관리할 수 있는 능력을 배양시키는 과정이다. 이러한 학교구강보건의 목적은 학생의 구강질환을 예방하고 초기에 치료함으로써, 구강건강을 증진 유지시켜 건전한 심신을 양성하여 교육 본래의 목표를 달성함에 있다. 이에 본 연구는 중학생의 구강건강에 대한 인식 및 행동을 파악하여 대상에 알맞은 학습 목표와 교육방법을 모색하고 효과적인 구강건강관리 방안을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 실시하였다. 농촌 지역인 충청북도 OO군에 소재한 중학교 학생들을 대상으로 자기기입방식의 설문조사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 중학생의 구강건강 지식에 대한 항목 중 치과질환의 증상에 대한 인지율에 비해 부정 교합의 원인(51.5%)과 잇몸병 예방법(15.1%) 등 치과질환의 원인과 예방법에 대한 인지율이 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 2. 잇솔질 시기에 대한 지식과 행동을 비교하여 살펴본 결과 인식 및 행동 모두 50% 수준 또는 그 이하였으며, 특히 점심식사 후에는 46.2%가 인식, 실천은 33.0%에 불과하였다. 3. 하루 잇솔질 횟수는 하루에 두 번 하는 경우(47.5%)가 가장 많았으나, 한 번 또는 한 번도 닦지 않는다는 응답(5.8%)도 있어 소수의 학생들이지만 잇솔질 실천이 매우 저조한 것으로 조사되었다. 4. 중학생들의 간식섭취 횟수는 일일 2회 이하가 68.8%였으나, 5회 이상 섭취하는 학생도 9.8%로 조사되었으며, 남학생은 5회 이상이 15.8%로 조사되어 성별의 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 5. 전신건강 중 치아가 차지하는 비중에 대해 30-40% 중요하다는 응답이 31.3%로 가장 많았으며, 다음으로 50-60% 중요하다 30.6%, 60%이상 중요하다 29.9%고 응답하여 학생들은 전신건강 중 구강건강이 매우 중요하다고 인지하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면, 치과내원은 이가 아플 때에만 간다 49.3%로 가장 많았으며, 이가 아팠지만 치과에는 가지 않았다 21.7%로 응답하여 치아의 중요성에 대한 인지도에 비해 치과에 내원하는 비율은 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 6. 현재 우리나라 학교구강보건사업은 초등학생을 대상으로 한 세부적인 프로그램과 국가의 지원은 있으나 청소년을 위한 구체적인 프로그램 및 지원은 미비한 상태이다. 건강에 대해 자기 스스로 관리할 수 있는 시기인 청소년 시기의 학교구강보건사업은 효과적이라고 판단되며, 이 시기에 구강보건교육을 비롯한 구체적인 구강건강증진 프로그램이 개발되어 학교구강보건사업이 중 고등학교에도 확대 실시되어야 할 것으로 검토되었다.

본 연구는 수도권 치과병 의원에 내원한 65세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 구강보건행위와 구강건강상태를 파악한 후 보다 나은 삶의 질을 향상하기 위해서 노인의 구강건강증진 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료를 얻고자 시행하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본 연구의 대상은 남자 40.8%, 여자 59.2%로 여자가 남자보다 많은 비율을 차지했으며, 연령별로는 65세에서 69세가 58.5%로 가장 많았다. 2. 우식경험미처치치아와 우식경험처치치아는 3개 이하가 각각 82.4%, 50.7%로 가장 많았으며, 현존치아는 3개 이하가 28.2%로 가장 많이 나타났다. 3. 여자가 남자보다 구강보건행위의 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났으며(P = 0.00), 생활비 조달방법에서 정부보조금으로 생활을 하는 대상자보다 본인이 급여를 받거나 수입이 있는 대상자가 구강보건행위 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p = 0.02). 4. 주관적 구강건강상태는 우식경험 미처치치아와 음의 상관관계를 보였고, 우식경험미처치치아와 우식경험상실치아, 우식경험처치치아와 현존치아는 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 5. 본인이 직접 생활비를 조달하는 노인들이 우식경험처치치아를 5.4개로 가장 많이 보유하고 있었으며(p = 0.02) 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 6. 잇솔질 방법에서 본인 마음대로 닦고 의 경우 상실치아가 11.8개(p = 0.05)로 다른 여러 가지 방법으로 잇솔질을 하고 있는 노인들에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 이는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 윗니와 아랫니를 따로 닦고 있다는 응답자에서 현존치아가 17.3개(p = 0.00)로 가장 많이 나타났으며, 또한 보건소를 자주 이용하는 노인들의 처치치아는 4.3개로 유의하게 많은 것으로 나타났다(p = 0.00). 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 65세 이상의 노인들은 대체적으로 구강건강상태가 양호한 것으로 나타났고, 특히잇솔질방법 등 올바른 구강건강행위를 하는 노인의 구강건강상태가 훨씬 양호하게 조사되었으며, 경제수준도 구강건강상태에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 우리 치과위생사들은 노인들에게 구강건강을 증진시킬 수 있는 체계적인 노인구강보건교육이 이루어져야 하며, 지역자치단체에서는 노령인구를 위한 보건의료를 확장하여 보건소를 중심으로 적극적인 예방업무와 치료업무가 이루어지도록 치과의료서비스 접근도를 높이는 정책전환이 요구된다. 본 연구는 수도권 일부지역 치과병 의원에 내원한 환자들을 조사 대상자로 선정하였기에 조사기간 동안에 내원하지 않았거나 다른 진료기관을 이용한 노인들은 조사 대상에서 제외되어 우리나라 전체 노인의 구강건강실태를 대변하였다고 할수 없고, 구강검사시 치과병의원의 치과의사의 협조를 얻어 시행하였기에 평가자간의 오차가 다소 발생하여, 향후 검사의 오차를 줄일 수 있는 보다 체계적인 연구가 요망된다.
