Purpose: The purpose of this research was twofold: to compare the short-term efficacy of once-off education versus repetitive education (RE) of patients suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and to determine whether there was any correlation amongst patient demographics, recommendation adherence degree and pain levels. Methods: A total of 848 patients with TMDs were enrolled. The control group consisted of patients who received a standard conservative treatment (STD) over at least 6 visits with education provided only during the first visit. The experimental group consisted of patients who received STD but had also been given RE (STD+RE). The RE was delivered through a standardized self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) that was completed by the patient during each visit. Pain, which included maximum comfortable opening (MCO) of the mouth and limitation of mouth opening (LOM), was compared between the two groups. Behavior pattern and reported pain level changes in the group who used the SAQ were also analyzed. Results: The LOM was significantly improved in all of the experimental group patients (especially in females under 30 years of age, p<0.05). The MCO was significantly higher in females (p=0.029). All of the patients displayed improvements in their habits following RE, which resulted in a strong correlation with pain reduction. Adhering to the recommendations regarding questions 14 and 15 of the SAQ appeared to have the greatest effect on pain reduction. Conclusions: These results clearly demonstrate that RE is more effective than once-off education for TMD patients who are female or under 30 years of age.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop evaluation criteria for the elementary-school-based health promotion program using the RE-AIM framework and to examine their feasibility. Methods: Previous evaluation studies on health interventions for elementary-school students using the RE-AIM framework were reviewed systematically to identify appropriate evaluation criteria. A diet and physical activity intervention based on the transtheoretical model was implemented in a pilot study using the "Happy Me" application. The feasibility of using the RE-AIM framework to evaluate it was examined. Results: The review yielded the following evaluation criteria: "reach," the ratio of participants out of the total target population; "efficacy/effectiveness," the difference in outcomes between the intervention and control groups, or between a pre- and post-test; "adoption," the rate of use of the program and participation in the next stage of the program; "implementation," the progress on the program components; "maintenance," the participants' and teachers' intention to continue using the program. The pilot study reached 76.6% of the targeted population. The intake of sugar-sweetened beverages decreased (P < 0.0001), and the duration of walking increased (P < 0.0001). Other indicators could not be evaluated; therefore, potential indicators were suggested. Conclusions: This study produced feasible evaluation criteria for elementary-school-based health promotion using the RE-AIM framework. Nevertheless, the feasibility needs to be validated with a broader range of studies and long-term interventions.

Background: This study aimed to determine the effects of training on breathing re-education on pain and dysfunction levels, posture, quality of life (QoL), and pulmonary function in patients. Methods: This study included 34 patients with chronic neck pain and upper thoracic breathing pattern were included. The participants were assigned to either the routine physical therapy program (RPTP) (CG; n=17) or RPTP and breathing pattern re-education training (EG; n=17). The CG and EG groups performed RPTP for 40 minutes, and only the EG groups performed breathing re-education training for 10 minutes. Exercises were performed thrice weekly for both groups. Level of pain and dysfunction, posture, QoL and pulmonary function status were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: After four weeks of intervention, numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Korean version of neck disability index, cranio-vertebral angle, cranial rotation angle, and 12-item short form health survey-physical and mental component summaries had significant differences before and after intervention in both groups (p<.01). However, only NPRS, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1s, and maximum voluntary ventilation showed significant interactions between the two groups and measurement time (p<.01). Conclusion: Breathing re-education training and RPTP may be optimal for patients with chronic neck pain and may be more effective in improving neck pain and pulmonary function.

Objectives : In this study, contact angle and shore D hardness were measured, and a shark fin test was conducted after selecting five addition silicon(Blu-Mousse, BM; EXABITE II, EX; PERFECT, PF; Regisil$^{(R)}$ Rigid, RE; Silagum$^{(R)}$, SI) in order to figure out the properties of elastomeric interocclusal recording materials and reduce errors at interocclusal recording. 8) Methods : A contact angle was measured using a contact angle analyzer. After placing a drop of liquid on the surface of the specimens of interocclusal recording materials, a contact angle was photographed with a CCD camera on the equipment. In terms of a shark fin test, interocclusal recording materials were mixed for the time proposed by the manufacturer and inserted into the split ring of the Shark fin device. Twenty (20) seconds exactly, a metal rod was removed to make the materials slowly absorbed. Once they hardened, fin height was measured with a caliper after separating molds and trimming the specimens. The shore D hardness was measured with a shore D hardness tester(Model HPDSD, Hans Schmidt & Co. Gmbh, Germany) in sixty (60) minutes after fabricating specimens. In each experiment, five specimens, mean and standard deviation were calculated. A one-way ANOVA test was performed at the p>0.05 level of significance. In terms of correlation among the tests, Pearson correlation coefficient was estimated. For multiple comparison, Scheffe's test was carried out. Results : A contact angle was the highest in EX with $99.23^{\circ}$ (p<0.05) while the result of the shark fin test was the longest in RE with 5.45mm. SI was the lowest (0.27mm) with statistical significance. Among the interocclusal recording materials, significant difference was observed in terms of means (p<0.05). The shore D hardness was the highest in SI with 31.0 while RE was significantly low with 16.4 (p<0.05). Among the materials, statistically significant difference was observed in terms of means when compared to the rest materials (RE), BM, RE and SI (PF and EX) and the remaining materials (BM and SI) (p<0.05). In terms of correlations among the tests, a negative correlation occurred between shore D hardness and shark fin test(r=-0.823, p=0.000). Conclusions : According to the study above, it is necessary to understand the properties of interocclusal recording materials and consider contact angle, shark fin test and properties of shore D hardness to select appropriate materials.

Background: An association between alcohol/tobacco use and risk of metastasis in breast cancer has been clearly shown. Materials and Methods: The present study explored, in 48 samples of tissue from mammary ductal carcinoma (taken from Mexican women with an average age of $58.2{\pm}10.9$ years), the association of risk of metastasis with the status of hormonal receptors and the c-erbB2 protein (by immunohistochemistry) as well as clinical, histopathological and sociodemographic factors. Results: Of 48 patients, 41.6% (20/48) presented with metastasis, 43.8% were positive for the estrogen receptor (RE+), 31.3% for the progesterone receptor (RP+) and 47.7% for c-erbB2 (c-erbB2+). The following combinations were found: RE+/RP+/c-erbB2+ 8.3%, RE+/RP+ 22.9%, RE+/RP- 20.8%, RE-/RP+ 8.3%, RE-/RP-/c-erbB2- 22.9% and RE-/RP- 47.8%. There were 12 patients who used alcohol/tobacco, of which 91.6% did not present metastasis and 81.9% were RE-/RP-. Compared to the RE-/RP-/c-erbB2+, the RE+/RP+/c-erbB2+ group had a 15-fold greater risk for metastasis (95%CI, 0.9-228.8, p=0.05). The carriers of the double negative hormonal receptors had a 4.7 fold greater probability of being (or having been) smokers or drinkers (95%CI, 1.0-20.4, p = 0.03). Conclusions: There was a clear protective effect of using alcohol and/or tobacco, in the cases included in the present study of mammary ductal carcinoma, associated with double negative hormonal receptors. However, this association could be due to a protective factor not measured (Neyman bias) or to a bias inherent in the rate of hospitalization (Berkson fallacy). This question should be explored in a broad prospective longitudinal study.

In this paper, we introduce the integral operator $I_{\beta}$($p_1$, ${\ldots}$, $p_n$; ${\alpha}_1$, ${\ldots}$, ${\alpha}_n$)(z) analytic functions with positive real part. The radius of convexity of this integral operator when ${\beta}$ = 1 is determined. In particular, we get the radius of starlikeness and convexity of the analytic functions with Re {f(z)/z} > 0 and Re {f'(z)} > 0. Furthermore, we derive sufficient condition for the integral operator $I_{\beta}$($p_1$, ${\ldots}$, $p_n$; ${\alpha}_1$, ${\ldots}$, ${\alpha}_n$)(z) to be analytic and univalent in the open unit disc, which leads to univalency of the operators $\int\limits_0^z(f(t)/t)^{\alpha}$dt and $\int\limits_0^z(f'(t))^{\alpha}dt$.

목적: 현재 Re-188 표지 단일클론항체는 종양의 방사면역치료제로서 주목받고 있으며 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 골수성 백혈구 세포에 존재하는 NCA-95에 대한 단일클론항체 CEA79.4를 사용하여 Re-188의 항체 표지법을 개발하고 그 특성을 분석하여 Tc-99m 표지항체와 비교하고자하였다. 대상 및 방법: 표지는 항체에 방사성 핵종을 직접 붙이는 직접법을 사용하였다. 환원제인 ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol로 단일클론항체 CEA79.4를 환원하여 SH-기를 생성시키고 여기에 발생기로부터 얻은 Tc-99m과 Re-188을 표지 하였다. Tc-99m의 표지를 위해서는 pH 6.5인 PBS에서 반응시켰으며 착화제와 환원제로 MDP kit를 사용하였다. Re-188은 50 mM acetate buffered saline (ABS, pH 5.3)에서 stannous tartrate를 환원제로 사용하여 표지 하였다. 표지효율은 ITLC로 확인하였으며 표지항체는 PD-10 칼럼을 이용하여 분리하였다. 분리한 표지항체를 1% 사람혈청 알부민과 비타민 C를 넣어 산화를 방지하고 실온과 사람혈청(5% $CO_2$, $37^{\circ}C$)에서 안정성 검사를 실시하였다. 대장암세포주인 SNU-C4와 세포결합검사를 실시하여 면역반응성과 항원에 대한 친화상수를 측정하였다. 또한 정상 ICR 마우스에 꼬리정맥으로 주사하여 1, 14, 24시간에 체내분포를 보았다. 결과: Tc-99m의 항체 표지효율은 $92.4{\pm}5.9%$ (n= 15)이고 Re-188은 $84.7{\pm}4.6%$ (n=4)로 우수한 표지효율을 보였다. 표지항체의 체외안정성검사를 실시한 결과 실온에서는 Tc-99m 표지항체의 경우 24시간까지 90% 정도로 안정하였으나 Re-188 표지항체는 70% 정도를 유지하였다. 사람혈청에서는 Tc-99m 표지항체는 24시간에 60% 이상이었으나 Re-188은 50% 이하로 낮았다. Tc-99m과 Re-188의 표지항체의 면역반응성은 각각 59.2%, 41.6%, 친화상수는 $6.59{\times}10^9\;M^{-1}$, $4.2{\times}10^9\;M^{-1}$ 이었다. 또한 정상 마우스에서 체내 분포는 비 특이적으로 집적되지 않고 배설되어 유사한 경향을 보였다. 결론: 기존의 Tc-99m 표지법과 같은 원리를 이용하여 단일클론항체 CEA79.4를 Re-188과 표지하였다. Re-188-CEA79.4는 면역반응성과 친화력등 체외 면역학적 특성과 체내분포에서 Tc-99m 표지항체와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 Re-188-CEA79.4는 골수성 백혈병, 림프종 등 질병의 방사면성역치료에 적용 할 수 있을 것이다.

The objective of present study was to investigate the effect of cooking and their combinations with re-heating methods on the formation of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in stored chicken thigh meat. Pan roasting, steaming, oven grilling, charcoal grilling, and microwaving were used for cooking. Re-heating of samples was done using the same cooking methods or microwaving after 3 and 6 d of refrigerated storage. Cooking and re-heating resulted in reduction of crude fat and cholesterol contents of chicken thigh meat depending on storage period before re-heating. Cooking and storage period had no influence on the total amount of COPs. The highest total amount of COPs was observed in meat samples cooked by steaming and reheated by microwaving after 6 d of storage, which showed similar value to raw chicken meat stored for 6 days. However, different re-heating methods formed different types of COPs depending on storage period before re-heating. The high amount (p<0.05) of 25-hydroxycholesterol or ${\alpha}-epoxide$ was detected in meat samples reheated by steaming or microwaving at 3 or 6 d of storage after steamed cooking, respectively. As a result, the combination of steaming and re-heating with microwaving could increase the total amount of COPs in chicken thigh meat and different cooking/re-heating methods could form different types of COPs, even though no significant difference in the total amount of COPs depending on storage period.
