Objectives:
This study aimed to develop a campus-based intervention program to enhance food literacy (FL) among university students.
Methods:
In the initial phase, we conducted a literature review of FL intervention studies and held in-depth interviews with university students to identify facilitators and barriers to improving and practicing FL. Expert counseling sessions were conducted with nutrition education, marketing, and service design professionals. The results of this phase led to the creation of an initial curriculum draft. In the second phase, a follow-up survey was conducted with young adults to assess the acceptability of the developed curriculum. After the follow-up survey, additional meetings were conducted with the aforementioned experts, and the curriculum was further refined based on their input.
Results:
An 11-week FL intervention program was devised using constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory. The weekly curriculum consisted of 90-min theory-based and 90-min hands-on experience sessions. Three primary aspects of FL were covered: nutrition and food safety, cultural and relational dimensions, and socio-ecological aspects. Program highlights included cooking sessions for crafting traditional Korean desserts, lectures on animal welfare, insights into zero-waste practices, and communal eating experiences. Based on the study team’s previous research, the program also addressed mindful eating, helping participants understand the relationship with their eating habits, and providing strategies to manage negative emotions without resorting to food. Yoga sessions and local farm visits were incorporated into the curriculum to promote holistic well-being.
Conclusions
This study elucidated the comprehensive process of creating a campus-based curriculum to enhance FL among university students, a group particularly susceptible to problematic eating behaviors and low FL levels. The developed program can serve as a blueprint for adaptation to other campuses seeking to bolster students’ FL.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess physical illnesses, psychological difficulties, and daily life function of victims' family members one year after the Sewol ferry disaster, in order to establish a basis of strategies to promote their mental health and resilience. METHODS: We statistically analyzed self-reported data collected from a survey conducted between March 22 and 28, 2015 with 139 family members of victims. RESULTS: All respondents complained about one or more psychological difficulties, and 95.4% of them had newly diagnosed or exacerbated physical illnesses. An increased number of psychological difficulties was associated with a greater tendency to present physical illnesses including chronic headache, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, obstetrico-gynecological, genitourinary, and cardiovascular disease. In addition, the majority of respondents reported a decrease in life functioning. Specifically, 71.9% reported interpersonal avoidance and 63.9% reported difficulty in returning to work. CONCLUSIONS: Not only psychological trauma but also physical illness and daily functioning should be evaluated in detail and actively addressed in the bereaved family members after a catastrophe.

BACKGROUND: Cyclosporine (CS) is being successfully used for various skin diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria. However, dermatologists have hesitated to use CSs in clinical practices due to possible adverse effects. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the adverse effects of CS for dermatological uses. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study by including 1,335 patients with CS treatment. RESULTS: From 1,335 patients, 208 (15.6%) showed adverse effects and obvious laboratory changes. Twenty five patients experienced either two or more adverse effects. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were the most common side effects. Other side effects included hypercholesterolemia (2.2%), hypertrichosis (2.2%), headache (1.3%), hypertension (0.9%), and hypertriglyceridemia (0.9%). Hypercholesterolemia is more frequently found in men but, GI symptoms and hypertrichosis are more frequent in women. Hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and GI symptoms are more common in adults but hypertrichosis is more common in children and adolescents. Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia have been remarkable in psoriasis patients, and GI symptoms and hypertrichosis are found in patients with atopic dermatitis. GI symptoms and headaches occur more often within three months of the CS treatment; however, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia usually occur three months after. With regards to CS dose, the hypertrichosis is more common in the group with low initial dose. GI symptoms occur more often in the lower CS cumulative dose group; however, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia are higher in the CS cumulative dose group. CONCLUSION: As compared with previous studies, the frequency of adverse effects after CS treatment in this study is proved to be low. Therefore, under dermatological fields, we suggest that CS is a relatively safe drug with periodic follow-ups and laboratory tests.

As dental implant treatment becomes popular for both partial and complete edentulous patients, old people with complex systemic diseases also tend to prefer implant-assisted-overdenture or implant-supported-fixed prostheses to conventional complete denture. In this case, 77-year-old female who was on medication for hypertension and osteoporosis and paralyzed on right side due to stroke visited for implant-assisted-overdenture on lower jaw. After oral and radiographic examination, root-assisted magnet overdenture on upper jaw and implant-assisted magnet overdenture on lower jaw are planned. Consequently, overdentures using self-adjusting magnetic attachment(SA) system on both jaws resulted in recovering satisfying function and retention, which is enable to insert and remove with only one hand.

BACKGROUND: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment has recently emerged in response to the increasing demand for noninvasive procedures for skin lifting and tightening. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical efficacy of and patient satisfaction with HIFU treatment for wrinkles and laxity in seven different areas of the face in Asian skin. METHODS: Twenty Korean patients with facial wrinkle and laxity were analyzed after a single session of HIFU treatment. Two independent, blinded clinicians evaluated the clinical improvement in seven areas of the face by comparison of standardized photographs obtained before, and at 3 and 6 months after treatment. Assessment of subjective satisfaction and adverse effects of treatment were done by using questionnaires. RESULTS: The physicians' evaluation and patients' satisfaction with the clinical effects of HIFU in each area were similar regardless of the number of treatment shots. The jawline, cheek, and perioral areas were the sites where HIFU was most effective, in decreasing order. The adverse effects included erythema and swelling in six cases, and purpura and bruising in two cases. However, the adverse effects were mild and transient. CONCLUSION: HIFU could be a safe, effective, and noninvasive procedure that can be used to improve facial wrinkles and skin laxity in Asian skin. It is particularly effective for clinical improvement in the jawline, cheek, and perioral areas.
