Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between dental care needs and dental service use in Korean elderly. Methods: Using the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, from 22,948 individuals, 1,572 (male 701, female 871) elderly individuals aged above 65 years were included in the study. All analyses were stratified by sex. Results: In males, the group with subjective needs was 3.74 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.58-5.41) times more likely to use dental services than the group without subjective needs. For females, the group with subjective needs was 2.17 (95% CI: 1.57-2.98 ) times more likely to use dental services than the group without subjective needs. Conclusions: To conclude, the elderly with symptoms, used the dental services for pain relief and functional recovery. Fundamental efforts to improve oral health are needed, such as providing treatment, prevention and educational services, besides efforts to provide treatment-oriented dental services.

본 연구는 지역사회 노인의 헬스케어를 위한 치매안심센터에서 작업치료사 역할 수행도 및 만족도를 조사하고, 중요도 순위에 따른 작업치료사의 업무를 확인하여 역할 정립에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구는 호남지역·광주광역시 치매안심센터 작업치료사를 대상으로 메일 및 우편을 통해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문 문항은 일반적 특성 및 치매안심센터 현황(8문항), 치매안심센터 사업영역 및 업무 내용(45문항)에 대한 수행도와 만족도, 중요하다고 생각하는 업무(주관식 1문항), 총 54개의 문항으로 구성하였다. 치매안심센터 작업치료사들은 대상자를 위한 프로그램을 제공하는 '치매예방 관리사업'을 주로 수행하고 있었고, 만족도도 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. '치매선별검사'는 수행도, 만족도가 높고 고유의 역할임에도 불구하고 치매안심센터 작업치료사의 역할로는 배정되지 않아 역할의 미흡함을 나타내었다. '행정업무 및 지역사회 역량강화'는 수행도와 만족도가 낮게 나타났지만, 치매안심센터의 운영과 대상자 관리를 위해서는 필수적인 업무이기에 수행도를 높일 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 작업치료사에게 중요하다고 생각되는 사업범주 또한 작업치료사가 수행해야 하는 업무와 일치하여, 치매안심센터 작업치료사들이 고유의 역할을 인식하고 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 치매안심센터 작업치료사의 역할 정립을 위해서는 사업에 대한 수행도, 만족도, 중요도를 기반으로 한 운영지침의 개정이 필요하며, 수행도 및 만족도가 미흡한 업무를 향상시킬 수 있는 교육과정의 개발 및 프로그램의 운영이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Background: Prostatitis, one of the most common diseases of the prostate, is a complex disease with various clinical features. This study aims to analyze the utilization and prescribing patterns of antibiotics in Korean patients with prostatitis between 2008 and 2015. Methods: We used the National Health Insurance Database complied from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). The outcomes included the number of claims, number of patients, medical cost, and length of stay for each year. In addition, the prescribing patterns of antibiotics, including fluoroquinolone, and low-dose use of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were investigated. Results: The total number of patients and medical cost increased by 9.5% and 51.7% from 2008 to 2015, respectively. Most prostatitis patients were classified as chronic prostatitis patients. The prescribing proportion of antibiotics for chronic prostatitis outpatients decreased from 71.0% to 66.9% from 2008 to 2015, and fluoroquinolone accounted for more than half of the total antibiotics. Over 80% of prescription of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was identified to be for low-dose use. Conclusion: Most of the patients with prostatitis experienced pain relief and condition improvement after antibiotic treatment; however, chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome recur easily. Therefore, active disease management and further studies are needed to enhance our understanding of effective treatment for prostatitis.

The purpose of this study is to describe the health care status of Korean Immigrants in New Zealand. The sample consisted of 155 Koreans who were randomly selected from the Korean Immigrants telephone book in Auckland, N.Z. They had health problems that required health management both physically (50.3%) and psychologically(70.3%). During the previous year, the average rate of medical contact with a general practitioner was 1$\pm$1.29 times. Korean immigrants who had health problems first attempted to resolve the problem through self medication rather than utilize health care services. They would only visit a general practitioner if they had severe subjective symptoms or no relief from self medication. Even if they think they need to visit the health care service, 41.9% of the subjects did not go back for follow-up care. Generally, the person who demonstrated positive health care behaviors was male, a college level graduate or higher, lived in N.Z. longer than 2 years, had a high score on health status by self assessment, and he placed few demands on health care services. Barriers to a healthy lifestyle are communication difficulties in expressing subjective symptoms, understanding the physician's treatment and medication plans, difficulty in accessing the appointment system and the high cost of service.

This study aimed to suggest the way to support flood disaster older survivors with analysing how relief services and their human resources are used. For this study, the data was collected from 184 elderly aged over 65 years from Inje and Pyungchang in Gangwon province where lots of flood damages were done. The results of the study was elderly used human resources of public servant/military soldiers, volunteers as public or official services than as private resources. These results provide the evidence that public or official human resources are very helpful to control their emergency situations because there is hardly any use of their private human resources except for assistance from their family. And it shows that older people are willing to use services of life rescue and information services of their family members safety rather than basic supplies, medical care or medicine providing. With this findings we suggest informing the news of family safety including basic necessaries are highly signigicant. Thus, it is useful for disaster planners to understand building immediate life rescue and accurate information delivery systems. These are relevant to older adults' psychological well-being, thus, providing news of family safety including offering material resources are highly needed for older disaster survivors.

Tenebrio molitor, rich in protein, is used as an alternative protein source. Many studies have evaluated Tenebrio molitor larvae (TML) for anti-obesity effects, fatty liver relief, antithrombosis, and antioxidant effects. In this study, we prepared an experimental diet by adding Tenebrio molitor larvae oil (TMLO) to feed and administered it to adult male ICR mice for six weeks. The study assessed the weight gain of mice, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), blood coagulation time, and the activities of coagulation factor VII and coagulation factor XII. The weight gain of mice was suppressed in the groups fed with TMLO, indicating a potential anti-obesity effect. The blood coagulation time was delayed in the TMLO-fed groups, as evidenced by amplified PT and aPTT values. Furthermore, the activities of coagulation factor VII and coagulation factor XII were diminished in the TMLO-treated groups, indicating a potential thrombosis relieving effect. The concentrations of thromboxane B2 and serotonin declined in the TMLO-fed groups, signifying potential blood circulation effects. Finally, blood triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol concentrations were reduced in the TMLO-fed groups. In summary, TMLO supplementation may have an inhibitory effect on liver damage and blood clot formation caused by obesity.

재난 현장에는 많은 재난관리 활동가들이 참여하며, 각자의 위치에서 최선의 결과를 위해 노력한다. 이들은 재난현장을 복구하고, 앞으로 같은 재난이 반복되지 않도록 예방하며, 재난으로부터 피해를 입은 이재민들을 치유하고 보호하기 위해 활동한다. 이러한 다양한 역할과 노력의 궁극적인 목적은 재난의 중심에 있는 이재민들이 재난 발생 이전의 정상적인 삶의 상태로 돌아갈 수 있도록 물적 인적 지원을 하는 것이라 볼 수 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 재난관리서비스는 다분히 공급자 중심의 관점에서 제공되었으며, 때문에 많은 노력에도 불구하고 이재민들이 진정으로 원하는 것이 무엇인지 이해하지 못하고 이재민의 요구를 반영하는데 실패하였다. 본 연구에서는 근거이론적 접근을 통해 현 재난관리서비스의 문제점을 이재민 관점에서 분석하고 이재민들이 희망하는 해결방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 184개의 개념 덴 28개의 하위범주, 그리고 9개의 범주가 도출되었는데 "재난을 부르는 복구"와 "재난 현장의 고통"이 중심범주로 나타났다.

Medical practice is characterized by various physiological response and uncapacity of prediction, therefore when medical accident occur it's hard to prove medical professionals' mistake. Though medical accident by medical professionals' mistake will be compensated anyhow, about irresistible medical accidents, no one should be not bound to compensate, victims get into very difficult situation. So, the nation don't negligent irresistible medical accidents but compensate anyway. As in the past, to the legal principle's constitution of irresistible medical accidents, theory of liability without fault was adapted, and it was said this theory was illogical in theory of liability with fault. But the subject of compensation to irresistible medical accidents is nation, nation don't participate in medical treatment therefore there is no room to occur mistake. And it is not reasonable to regard medical agency as a truster of public service, to cast to it responsibility of medical accidents. The problem of compensation to irresistible medical accidents is understood under the theory of social compensation. Social compensation is consisted of compensation to sacrifice and contribution to nation and society and compensation to sacrifice revealed under danger, the compensation to irresistible medical accidents belongs to the latter. This is near to concept of relief, is applied to national compensation system supplementarily, and compensation have no option but to compensate minimum. And there are not relation between national compensation system of irresistible medical accidents and proof liability transposition and theory of liability with out fault, merely in side of sharing responsibility burden between medical treater and victim, it is reasonable to discuss transportation of proof liability and compulsive liability insurance together.
