From the Viticis Fructus n-hydrocarbons, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ $3-O-{\beta}-_D-glucoside$ and hesperidin along with the known polyoxygenated flavonoids such as vitexicarpin, artemetin and luteolin, and vanillic acid were isolated and identified by means of spectroscopic methods. HPLC analysis of the flavonoid components from the MeOH extract was established. Phytochemical analyses of the domestic plant sample and the imported ones were conducted and the flavonoid compositions of the domestic samples were greatly different from those of the imported ones.

The essential oils of Lycopus lucidus have been studied. The essential oil obtained from the dried herba by steam distillation followed by fractionation by column chromatography was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). The compounds identified by GC-MS were carvacrol, 2,5-dimethoxy-p-cymene, trans-caryophyllene, spathurenol and $trans-{\beta}-farnesene$. Two compounds, thymol and caryophyllene were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and analyzed by TLC, IR, Mass and NMR. And the weak diuretic effects of essential oil and water extract from the dried drugs were observed in rats.

Purpose: The study was aimed to investigate the levels of marital intimacy and quality of life (QOL) among women with breast cancer. Methods: As a descriptive study, a total of 67 married women with breast cancer was recruited via convenient sampling from a breast clinic in an university hospital. A structured, self-reported questionnaire was administered to the participants. Results: The most participants were housewives in their 40s and 50s, and were in high socioeconomic status. Two thirds of women perceived the marital intimacy with their spouse were increased after the diagnosis of breast cancer. Women's marital intimacy significantly differed by their levels of education. The level of cognitive intimacy was the highest among the subscales, whereas, sexual intimacy was the lowest. The family factor of QOL showed the highest score, and there were differences in QOL by employment status and cancer stage. The QOL and marital intimacy were not correlated significantly. Conclusion: Further research on the couples with breast cancer and intervention for increasing their marital intimacy are needed in the future.

The purpose of this study was to collect basic data for the development of oral health education program of parents and to encourage their actual interest and participation in school oral health program. The authors surveyed parents' awareness and behaviors about the oral health of their children. The subjects in this study were 193 parents of elementary school children in Seoul. The collected data were analyzed, the obtained results were as follows: 1. Thirty-five percent of the parents investigated paid a regular visit to a dental clinic. The most common tooth brushing time among them was after dinner, the second was after breakfast, and this was followed by before bedtime and before breakfast 2. Ninety-four percent of the parents responded that prevention is necessary, 92.2% had a plan to visit a dental clinic to prevent dental caries, and 60.1% experienced receiving pit and fissure sealants. Ninety-seven percent responded that they did check their children's dental caries. 54.9% checked their children's oral status after tooth brushing. The parents who visit a dental clinic on a regular basis were more likely to check their children's teeth after tooth brushing than those who don't(P<0.05). 3. Eighty eight percent of respondents wanted to keep the fluoride mouth rinse program. 4. It is recommended that an oral health education program be developed for parents to visit dental clinics on a regular basis, to educate as to the right tooth brushing time, and to check out their children's oral status after tooth brushing.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality of life and stress level of the elderly living alone in their neighborhood volunteers. Methods Data collection was done from July 1 to October 1, 2015 and the data were collected by self-reported questionnaire at Nowon community in Seoul area in South Korea. The subjects were 146 older adults living alone agreed to participate in the study(accepted by IRB). The questionnaire was constructed with quality of life 26 items, 5-point Likert type scale(1-5), stress 15 items, 5-point Likert type. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results Socially isolated older adults had significantly higher scores ($3.7{\pm}.03$) in quality of life, moderate scores ($2.9{\pm}.03$) in stress. Conclusion The peer support undertaken by older community volunteers was effective in improving quality of life in socially isolated older adults. It is necessary to listen to the voice of elderly people living alone through the activation of volunteer groups in the community.

본 논문은 T2강조 MR 영상과 확산강조 MR 영상의 강체 정합을 통해 크기, 위치, 회전 변환 왜곡을 보정하여 자궁내막암의 위치를 자동으로 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 영상해상도와 밝기값 분포가 서로 다른 두 영상간 정합의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해 잡음을 제거하고 두 영상의 밝기값 신호 분포의 유사성을 강화시킨다. 유사성이 향상된 두 영상의 크기, 위치, 회전 변환 왜곡을 보정하기 위해 정규화 상호정보를 최대화 하는 강체 정합을 반복적으로 수행한다. 정합된 영상에서 악성 종양을 쉽게 판별 할 수 있도록 현상확상계수지도를 컬러맵으로 생성하여 T2강조 MR 영상에서 얻은 종양의 후보군에 매핑하여 T2강조 MR 영상과 융합한다. 실험을 위하여 최적화 반복 과정에 따른 정규화 상호정보 수치 수렴 과정을 확인하고, 융합 후 종양 영역이 매핑되는 것을 육안평가를 통해 분석하였다. 제안방법을 통하여 T2강조 MR 영상과 확산강조 MR 영상을 융합함으로써 종양의 위치를 자동으로 파악하고 자궁내막암의 병기를 확정하는 용도로 활용할 수 있다.

Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide), the principal pugent ingredient found in hot red pepper, has been recently known to have anticarcinogenic or chemopreventive properties. In the previous study, we showed that capsaicin selectively induces apoptosis in H-ras MCF10A cells.(omitted)

The study purpose was to examine which factors including health perceptions & behaviors, psychosocial factors, dietary intakes were different by stages of change to reduce fast food consumption among university students. Survey data(n = 341) were analyzed using X$^2$ test or analysis of variance. With respect to stages of change, $17\%$ were in the precontemplation ; $21.4\%$ for contemplation, $19.7\%$ for preparation, 11.7% for action, and $30.2\%$ for the maintenance stage. Frequency of fast food consumption (p < 0.001), health status, interest toward health, and exercising behavior (p < 0.05) differed significantly by stages of change. Demographics and nutrient intakes, however, had no association with stages of change. Those in precontemplation through preparation stages felt more strongly on the advantages such as taste, satiety, cleanness of restaurants (p < 0.001), and diverse menus (p < 0.05). Compared to maintainers or actors, pre-contemplators agreed less to the disadvantages of eating fast foods, including sanitary problems (p < 0.001), overeating, indigestion, decreased vegetable intakes (p < 0.01) and loss of freshness (p < 0.05). Influence of significant others (e.g., friends, siblings, parents) significantly differed by stages of change. Compared with maintainers, those in preaction stages felt less control over facilitators or situations for fast food consumption. These included 'others like fast foods', 'providing standard meals', 'when I don't have foods for meals'(p < 0.001), availability, advertisement, 'socially popular', 'when I feel hungry'(p < 0.01), and 'when I don't like to prepare meals' (p < 0.05). These results suggested that nutrition education be planned considering one's stages of change for fast food consumption. For those in preaction stages, it is desirable to use motivational strategies to increase benefits and remove barriers of change, and help to develop skills to deal with situations or factors for fast food consumption. The support from friends or families is also needed to move to further stages.
