Objectives The present study retrospectively investigated clinical outcome of patients with structual scoliosis during Chuna treatment. Methods : The study population consisted of 34 patients(14 patients of adolescent and 20 patients of adult) who were diagnosised as scoliosis with radiological finding. All patients were treated with Chuna treatment, and after treatment, evaluated with radiological measurement by calculating the scoliosis correction angle from the Initial and follow-up spine AP and lateral views. Also the evaluation of clinical outcome was done twice pre and post treatment during this study. Results : The results were summarized as follows ; 1) The 85.3 percent of patients complained physical pain. and adult group had various painful lesion compared with adolescent group. 2) Adult group had treated $18.0{\pm}7.2$ times and adolescent group treated $13.5{\pm}5.7$ times with Chuna treatment. 3) Scoliotic angle is reduced in 92.9 percent of adolescent group and had all of adult group after Chuna treatment, especially, statistically significance appeared in adult group. 4) Adult group was superior to adolescent group in correctability and scoliotic angle change. 5) Correction effect was better in the group which initial scoliotic angle was lessor, or had more time of treatment. 6) According to grade of vertebral body rotation, scoliotic angle is larger and correctability was lower. Conclusions : Chuna treatment was efficacious against scoliosis. And it is necessary for adolescent scoliosis patient to be more carefully treated and observed.

Background: Adolescent mothers may find the transition to motherhood to be overwhelming when compared to adult mothers. The adaptiveness of mother and infant feeding behaviors may greatly influence the quality of adolescent mothers' feeding interactions when compared to adult mothers. Purpose: To examine the adaptiveness of early maternal and infant feeding behavior between adolescent mothers and adult mothers. Method: In this secondary analysis, six adolescent mothers (< 20 years old) and six adult mothers were videotaped while feeding. The mothers were observed 3 times: when the infants were in the hospital, 1 month old, and 4 months old. The videotapes were coded using four scales of the Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (PCERA). The two maternal scales were Positive Affective Involvement and Sensitivity/Responsiveness (PAISR) and Regulation of Affect and Behavior (RAB). The two infant scales were Infant Positive Affect, Communication, and Social Skills (IPACS) and Infant Regulation of Affect and Behavior (IRAB). The dyads were videotaped just before hospital discharge and at one and four months corrected age. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to examine the difference in the PCERA between the two groups. Results: Adolescent mothers had a significantly lower score on the PAISR before hospital discharge (p-value 0.005) and at one month corrected age (p-value 0.008) than adult mothers. Adolescent mothers also had a significantly lower score on the RAB before hospital discharge, 1 and 4 months corrected age than adult mothers. There were no significant differences in IPACS and IRAB of infants of adolescent and adult mothers. Conclusion: Clinicians need to be aware of the differences in sensitivity that occur.

목적 : 감각처리기능은 지각 및 인지기능 뿐만 아니라 작업수행을 위해서 가장 기본적으로 요구되는 능력이다. 아동의 경우 감각처리 문제로 인해 두드러지는 기능장애를 나타내지만 성인의 경우 살아가면서 감각에 적응하거나 그냥 무시한 채 지내기 때문에 흔히 감각처리기능을 간과하게 된다. 하지만 감각에 대한 생리적 특질은 변하지 않는 것이며 외부로부터 들어오는 불편한 감각자극으로 인해 우리는 무의식적으로 영향을 받고 있기 때문에 이를 조절하기 위해 본인의 감각처리특성을 파악하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile은 일상생활에 기반을 둔 감각처리기능을 설문형식으로 평가한다. 하지만 이런 설문형식의 평가는 응답자의 주관이나 그 외 다양한 요인들로 인해 결과의 타당도가 낮은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구는 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각 처리영역 점수와 촉각탐지과제를 통해 측정한 촉각역치간의 상관관계를 알아봄으로써 이 평가도구의 일부 영역 (촉각 처리영역)의 타당도를 검증하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구에서는 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역의 네 가지 항목(저등록, 감각민감, 감각추구, 감각회피)의 점수를 촉각탐지과제를 통해 얻어진 개인의 촉각역치 값과 비교하여 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 : Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역 중 저등록 및 감각추구 항목은 촉각역치 값과 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 반면 감각민감 및 감각회피 항목의 경우 촉각역치 값과 음의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 특히나 촉각의 역치가 높을수록 저등록 항목의 점수가 높게 나타났으며 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 결론 : 촉각의 촉각역치가 높을수록 감각등록이 적으며 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역의 저등록 관련된 설문문항이 촉각탐지과제를 통한 촉각역치 측정값과 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타나 설문문항의 타당도가 높음을 보여주었다.

Purpose: This study attempted to identify influential variables on smoking temptation between groups: adolescent smokers and adult smokers. Method: A survey was conducted with 376 adolescent smokers in 4 high schools and 451 adult smokers in community settings in South Korea. Univariate statistics and regression were used for data analysis. Result: The most powerful predictor of smoking temptation for adolescent smokers was nicotine dependency. On the other hand, the most powerful predictor of smoking temptation for adult smokers was self-efficacy for smoking abstinence. In the high smoking temptation group, depression and nicotine dependency were the predictors for smoking temptation for adolescent smokers and nicotine dependency and pros for smoking were the predictors for smoking temptation for adult smokers. In the low smoking temptation group, cons for smoking and process of change for smoking abstinence were the predictors on smoking temptation for adolescent smokers and self-efficacy for smoking abstention and pros for smoking were the predictors on smoking temptation for adult smokers. Conclusion: There were different influential variables on smoking temptation according to age groups and level of smoking temptation. Smoking-cessation interventions should be tailored to the level of smoking temptation of the individual smokers.

Purpose: This study was done to identify predictors differentiating the preparation stage, which is the stage that the smoker is ready to quit smoking, between adolescent smokers and adult smokers. Method: A survey was conducted with 376 adolescent smokers in 4 high schools and 451 adult smokers in community settings in South Korea from August 2003 to April 2005. To identify the predictors before and after preparation in stages of change of smoking, logistic regression was done. Results: The predictors for before preparation in stages of change of smoking were process of change for smoking abstinence for adolescent smokers and depression for adult smokers. The predictors for after preparation in stages of change of smoking were self-efficacy for smoking abstinence for adolescent smoker and self-efficacy for smoking abstinence and smoking temptation for adult smokers. Conclusion: For each group, adolescent smokers and adult smokers, specific smoking intervention methods need to be developed based on the different ways individuals make the decision to quit smoking within their contexts.

This study was performed to know about the conformity tendencies of adolescent and adult groups based on lectures of the expert on the topic 'the cicada'. Characters of each lecture were 'he pure natural science', 'positiveness', 'negativeness' and 'neutrality,' and then attitude changes on the cicadas were investigated with a questionnaire. Consequently, half of the adolescent and adult groups thought of the cicadas' sounds as 'noise' through mass communications respectively. They had a neutral attitude, neither positive nor negative, on cicadas' sounds in the beginning. Attitudes of the people on the cicada, however, were changed positively only with a pure natural science lecture. In this case, the adolescent group was more prevalented by the lecture than the adult group. In other words, the positive-based lecture affected them positively, while the negative-based lecture affected them negatively. The conformity tendencies of adolescent groups participating in the positive-based lecture were substantial. In conclusion, as we can see from the so-called Kohlberg's 'stages of moral development', conformity tendencies of attitudes towards cicadas' sounds were generally much more prevalent in the adolescent group, compared with the adult group, even though there are some differences in subcategories.

The person's behaviors are interactive with sensory processing ability. So sensory processing ability is very important. Most of tools which evaluate sensory processing are developed for the child. But sensory integrated problems are not restricted to the child. It is possible for sensory integrative problems to happen independent of the intellectual level and the social stratum. And sensory integrative problems are distributed in all age. Adults who have a sensory defensiveness use various coping strategies. But it does not solve a basic sensory defensive problem. Previous studies reported the fact that the sensory integrative treatment has a high treatment effect in these people. In this paper, we present the necessity for adult's sensory processing evaluating tool. We introduces Adolescent/Adult Sensory profile to be translated into Korean. It will discriminate adults who have sensory defensiveness from adult. It will provide these people with the suitable help.

Objective: To compare the electromyographic activity of masseter and temporal muscles between bruxers and nonbruxers in adult and adolescent patients. Material and Methods: The samples composed of the surface electromyography (EMG) recordings obtained from the orthodontic patients. Sixty-eight patients who had bruxsim habit (43 female and 25 male) were divided into four groups according to their age and gender. Control groups consisted of 79 patients who had not bruxism habit. EMG of the masseter muscle and anterior temporal muscle were recorded before treatment in clenching at maximum intercuspation. The ratio of temporal and masseter muscle activity (T/M ratio) was compared between bruxers and nonbruxers in adult and adolescent patients. Results: EMG of masseter muscle and temporal muscle were significantly higher in adult male bruxism group than control. T/M ratio in adult male bruxism group was significantly lower than in adult male nonbruxism group. However, there was no significant difference in T/M ratio between adolescent bruxism group and adolescent nonbruxism group. Conclusions: The balance in the activity of the masseter and temporal muscles may not differ between bruxers and nonbruxers during adolescent periods. However, in adult period, the masseter muscle activity against temporal muscle is greater in males with bruxism habit compared to non-bruxer.

This study explored the influence of adolescent depression on adult media addiction by examining Bronfenbrenner's ecological perspective. The ecological perspective is a useful framework to identify the link between youths' interacting subjects in the ecological environment. It can also be used to understand adolescent problems and addiction behaviors. The current study examined the influence of parents, peers, and teachers on adult media addiction and depression with a focus on micro-systems that have the greatest influence on adolescents among various environmental systems. We analyzed 568 participants who reported exposure to adult media. SPSS 20.0 was used to conduct a descriptive analysis of the data; AMOS 19.0 was used to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model. The results of study are as follows. First, parental abuse and peer alienation significantly increases depression. Second, peer communication significantly decreases depression. Third, parental monitoring and parental affection significantly decreased adult media addiction. Fourth, parental abuse, peer alienation, and depression significantly increased adult media addiction. This study is meaningful in that it examines the influence of parent, peer, and teacher relationships among adolescents on adult media addiction and depression. This study can be helpful to understand adult media addiction and depression among Korean adolescents.
