PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a parenting program applying CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) on parenting behavior, parent satisfaction, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) symptoms perceived by mother of children with a tendency to ADHD. METHODS: The study was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 21 mothers in G city who have children with a tendency to ADHD. The mothers received the parenting program applying CBT for 2 sessions a week over 4 weeks. Data were collected from December, 2011 to January, 2012 and analyzed using paired t-test with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. RESULTS: After attending the parenting program applying CBT, significant differences were found between pre and post test in parenting behavior (t=-2.16, p=.043) and ADHD scores (t=2.38, p=.027). CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the parenting program applying CBT is an effective nursing intervention to improve mothers' parenting behavior and decreasing ADHD symptoms perceived by mother of children with a tendency to ADHD. However a quasi-experimental research design with control group is necessary.

To investigate psychopathology and executive functions of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children according to intelligence level, this study included 197 ADHD children who visited the outpatient department of neuropsychiatry of YeungNam University Medical Center, from July 2000 to June 2002. The children were divided into groups based on their intelligence levels. They were compared by the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC), Conncers' Continuous Performence Test (CPT), and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). There were significant differences in PIC, on the subscales of verbal development, socialization and autism. In the CPT, there was no significant difference. In the WCST, there were significant differences in the total number of errors, the number of perseverative errors, the number of completed categories and the number of trials needed to complete the first category. Considering these results, the intelligence level of ADHD children is related to their disabilities and behavioral symptoms. Executive functions such as abstract thinking, categorization, working memory and flexibility had significant relationship to the intelligence levels of ADHD children. Therefore, the intelligence level of children with ADHD influences the higher executive functions of regulating attention and information processing rather than attentional functions and capacity alone.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The stent material and thickness may influence the rate of restenosis following coronary artery stenting. A thin strut cobalt-alloy stent has been developed in an attempt to reduce the restenosis rate, while maintaining the radiopacity and radial strength. The purpose of this study was to compare a stainless steel Core(r) stent (thickness: 90 micrometer/HUMED Co. Ltd, Korea) with that of a cobalt alloy Core(r) stent (thickness: 60 micrometer/HUMED Co. Ltd, Korea) in a porcine coronary stent restenosis model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cobalt alloy (Co-alloy) and stainless steel (SS) stents were implanted in 24 porcine coronary arteries. Four weeks after stenting, the pigs were sacrificed after quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). The coronary arteries were perfusion-fixed and stained, and a pathological examination performed by computer-aided histomorphometry. RESULTS: The minimal luminal diameter at 4 weeks was larger in the Co-alloy than the SS group according to the QCA (1.8+/-0.8 mm vs. 2.7+/-0.8 mm, p=0.019). The neointimal area was significantly smaller in the Co-alloy than the SS group (1.96+/-0.68 mm2 vs. 0.89+/-0.27 mm2, p<0.001). The intima/media area ratio was significant lower in the Co-alloy than the SS group (1.33+/-0.46 vs. 0.69+/-0.21, p=0.003). CONCLUSION: The thin strut cobalt alloy Core(r) stent significantly reduces the neointimal formation compared to the stainless steel Core(r) stent in a porcine coronary stent injury model.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Korea and the third leading cause of death from cancer. Treatment outcomes for colon cancer are steadily improving due to national health screening programs with advances in diagnostic methods, surgical techniques, and therapeutic agents.. The Korea Colon Cancer Multidisciplinary (KCCM) Committee intends to provide professionals who treat colon cancer with the most up-to-date, evidence-based practice guidelines to improve outcomes and help them make decisions that reflect their patients’ values and preferences. These guidelines have been established by consensus reached by the KCCM Guideline Committee based on a systematic literature review and evidence synthesis and by considering the national health insurance system in real clinical practice settings. Each recommendation is presented with a recommendation strength and level of evidence based on the consensus of the committee.
