The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in behavioral characteristics and their awareness of obese school children. The results were as follows : 1. In comparison with eating habits and food preference, the girls had more irregular breakfast and were likely to have vegetables/fruits than the boys. 2. In characteristics related to exercise and activities, boys did more exercise than girls. Particularly, in lunch free time, boys participated in playing various active excercise with friends, but girls participated in more non-active behaviors(such as, chattering, reading, or playing jack-stones). 3. In comparison with their awareness related to obese persons, about a half of boys had positive opinions(e, grong, healthy.), but about only 20% of girls had positive opinions.

The purpose of this study were to define the degree of performance in health promoting lifestyle and to identify the variable related to performance inn health promoting lifestyle of adolescents. The subjects of this study were 469 adolescents in the 4 high schools. The sample data were collected using a purposive sampling method from July 1 to July 27. The collected data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation Coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS PC+ program. The results of this research were as follows. First, The means of performance in the health promoting lifestyle of adolescents revealed total 2.478 ; harmonious relationships 3.045, regular diet 2.236, professional health management 1.322, sanitary life 2.910, self regulation 2.558, emotional support 2.696, healthy diet 2.048, rest and sleep 2.651, exercise and activity 2.491, self actualization 2.466, diet control 2.408. The factor with the highest degree of performance was the harmonious relationships, whereas the one with the lowest degrees was the professional health management. Second, the relationship between the degree of performance in health promoting lifestyle and its related variable were as follows. (1) Performance in the health promoting lifestyle was significantly correlated with self esteem, self efficacy, health conception, perceived health status, mother's health promoting lifestyle, mother's health conception. (2) The most important factor that affects performance in the health promoting lifestyle of adolescents was self esteem. The combination of self esteem, health conception, mother's health promoting lifestyle, self efficacy, perceived health status accounted for 45.2% of the variance in health promoting lifestyle of adolescents.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the scores of postpartum depression(PPD) on the first day, 1st week, and 6th week after the delivery and to explore their related factors before and after delivery in postpartum women. METHODS: With a survey design, 293 postpartum women were recruited from a postpartum unit, Ilsin Christian hospital in Pusan via convenience sampling and were followed at 1st week and 6th week in the outpatient clinic. RESULTS: Results showed that the scores of PPD(EPDS score) were low at postpartum 1st day, 1st week and 6th week but prevalence of PPD(EPDS > or =13) was 3.1% at 1st day, 8.2% at 1st week and 7.5% at 6th week, respectively. The pre-delivery factors were experience of depression, and the post-delivery factors were baby's sex(1st day), no caregiver for baby(1st week), and no help and concern for taking care of baby from husband and family(1st day and 6th week). The greater satisfaction with becoming a mother and her life, and greater maternal attachment were related to lower level of PPD at the three time points. CONCLUSION: Regular screening for postpartum depression and supportive and informative education is needed for postpartum women visiting the outpatient clinic for follow-up.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to update the existing evidence-based nursing clinical practice guideline in management of pressure injury in South Korea. METHODS: The update process underwent the 22 steps according to the update method based on the international standards. RESULTS: The updated nursing practice guideline for pressure injury consists of 4 domains and 436 recommendations. The numbers of recommendations in each domain were 25 for hospital policies, 51 for assessment, 350 for prevention and management, and 10 for education. There were 2.5% of A, 13.3% of B, 84.2% of C in terms of grading of recommendations. Among these, the major revision was done in 32 recommendations (7.4%). A total of 299 recommendations (68.6%) were added newly. Minor revisions, such as change or addition of some words, were also made in 25 recommendations(5.7%). No change was made in 80 recommendations (18.3%) compared to the previous ones. CONCLUSION: The nursing practice guideline for pressure injury has been updated. This updated guideline can be used as educational materials for both healthcare workers and patients with pressure injury.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There are limited data regarding the clinical efficacy of the proximal optimization technique (POT) in the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions. We investigated the influence of POT on the clinical outcomes of patients with coronary bifurcation lesions. METHODS: We enrolled a total of 1,191 patients with a bifurcation lesion with a side branch (SB) diameter ≥2.5 mm treated with a drug-eluting stent from 18 centers between January 2003 and December 2009. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs: cardiac death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization [TLR]). We performed one-to-many (1:N) propensity score matching with non-fixed matching ratio. RESULTS: POT was performed in 252 patients. During follow-up (median 37 months), the incidence of MACE was lower in the POT group than it was in the non-POT group (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24–0.79; p=0.006). After propensity score matching, these were 0.34; 95% CI, 0.17–0.69; p=0.003 for MACE and 0.37; 95% CI, 0.17–0.78; p=0.01 for TLR. The use of POT was associated with significantly lower TLR in patients treated without kissing ballooning, but was not in those who underwent kissing ballooning (p for interaction=0.03). CONCLUSIONS: In coronary bifurcation lesions with a large SB, POT may be beneficial to improve long-term clinical outcome, particularly in patients treated without kissing ballooning during the procedure.

A 51 year-old woman underwent living related renal transplantation under cyclosporine A immunosuppression. After surgery, she did well initially, but the serum creatinine level subsequently rose to 3.6 mg/dL on postoperative day 95, she was admitted at Severance Hospital for further evaluation. On admission day 4, a renal biopsy was performed, and the microscopic findings revealed an interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrate, suggestive of severe allograft rejection. Because of persistently impaired renal function, the patient was began on twice weekly hemodialysis, and the progression of renal deterioration paralleled the onset of a thrombocytopenia. The platelet count dropped to 13x109/L despite daily platelet transfusion. On admission day 19, antiplatelet antibody against the glycoprotein Ib/IX (GP Ib/IX) and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) complex was detected in the presence of cyclosporine A (CsA) with modified antigen capture ELISA (MACE) assay, thereby implicating the drug. CsA was stopped immediately and immunosuppression drug was changed to FK506. After CsA was discontinued 7 day later, her platelet count returned to normal, up to 170x109/L without requirement of any platelet concentrates. This paper presents the first case of CsA induced thrombocytopenia in Korea which was confirmed by in vitro CsA dependent antiplatelet antibody detection test.

Several cases of immune hemolytic anemia have been reported after renal transplantation of ABO-minor-mismatch. We present a case of anti-B immune hemolytic anemia which developed on 11th day after renal transplantation. 48-year-old man, blood group Rh(+) AB, had a successful renal transplantation from his distant family, blood group Rh(+) A. He was maintained under immunosuppression with cyclosporine and prednisolone. On 11th day after renal transplantation he had a hemolytic episode. His hemoglobin dropped from 9.2 g/dl to 7.3 g/dl and corrected reticulocyte count increased to 3.7%. The peripheral blood morphology showed polychromatophilia, spherocytosis, and anisocytosis. Direct antiglobulin tests were positive with anti-IgG and anti-C3d. The antibody that caused hemolytic anemia was confirmed as anti-B IgG. The anti-B antibodies might be originated from passenger's donor B lymphocyte.

PURPOSE: To describe the MR imaging findings of traumatic spinal subdural hematoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the MR images of six patients, with symptoms of acute spinal cord or cauda equena compression after trauma, together with spinal subdural hematoma. We analysed the extent, location, configuration and signal intensity of the lesions. RESULTS: In five of six cases, hematomas were distributed extensively throughout the thoracolumbosacral or lumbosacral spinal levels. In five cases they were located in the dorsal portion of the thecal sac, and in one case, in the ventral portion. On axial images, hematomas showed a concave or convex contour, depending on the amount of loculated hematoma. A lobulated appearance was due to limitation of free extension of the hematoma within the subdural space at the lateral sites (nerve root exist zone) at whole spine levels, and at the posteromedian site under lumbar 4-5 levels. CONCLUSION: In cases of spinal subdural hematoma, the lobulated appearance of hematoma loculation in the subdural space that bounds the lateral sites at all spinal levels and at the posteromedian site under L4-5 levels is a characteristic finding.
