1.Comparative Study on Self-leadership, Team Efficacy, Problem Solving Process and Task Satisfaction of Nursing Students in Response to Clinical Training.
Journal of Korean Academic Society of Nursing Education 2014;20(4):482-490
PURPOSE: This research compares self-leadership, team efficacy, problem solving processes and task satisfaction in response to teaching methods applied to nursing students, and determines whether variations exist. METHODS: This research experiments before and after the training of a nonequivalent group. The subjects were 36 learners of action learning methods and 39 learners of nursing course methods, and the research took place from October through December 2012. RESULTS: Prior to the training, the general features and measurable variables of the two groups of subjects were similar, and self-leadership, team efficacy, problem solving process and task satisfaction in both groups were elevated compared to pre-training. In particular, in comparison with the nursing course, there was a notable difference in scores, the action learning method receiving high scores in the problem solving process (t=2.92, p=.005) and task satisfaction (t=2.54, p=.013) CONCLUSION: It is recommended that educators not only conduct the practice training course for teaching methods, but also incorporate action learning.

PURPOSE: This study was to analyze the effect size of complementary and alternative intervention studies in reference to dysmenorrhea and menstrual distress. METHODS: In order to conduct a meta-analysis, a total of 393 studies were retrieved from the database. Twenty-eight studies that were published from March 2001 to February 2011 were selected. RESULTS: Intervention studies included seven studies on aromatherapy, five on auriculotherapy, three on each Koryo-Sooji-Chim and moxibustion, two on each heat therapy and magnetic therapy and six on other therapy. The effect size of the intervention studies on dysmenorrhea and menstrual distress was greater than 0.48 for Koryo-Sooji-Chim, moxibustion, aromatherapy, auriculotherapy and other therapy. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that drug free therapy can reduce the levels of menstrual distress, despite the small number of intervention studies and randomized controlled trials.

Primary biliary cirrhosis, a chronic, progressive, and often fatal cholestatic liver disease, is characterized by destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts, portal inflammation and scarring, and the eventual development of cirrhosis and liver failure. We reviewed four cases of primary biliary cirrhosis primarily suspected with peritoneoscopic liver biopsy specimens. All patients were female and their age ranged from 29 to 50 years(median age: 43.8 years). Presenting symptoms were typically pruritus and/or upper abdominal discomfort. On physical examination, interus was presented in 3; hepatomegaly in 3; chronic liver disease stigmata in one. Co-existing autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto' thyroiditis and Sjoegren' syndrome were found in 2 cases. Biochemical tests of liver function revealed a cholestatic pattern. An antimitochondrial-antibody test was positive in 2 out of 3 patients(75%). Increase levels of serum immunoglobulins, especially of IgM, were evident in 3 cases. Histologic staging(Ludwig et al.) disclosed stage I lesion in one, stage III in two, and stage IV in the remaining one.

For determining the distribution of specific IgE and IgG-subclass antibodies and their role in allergic disorders, we measured the serum levels of specific IgG-subclass and IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) on 60 atopic children, aged between 8 to 12. All of them had positive skin test to Df, and was grouped into three: children with asthma only (group 1), with rhinitis (group 2), and with them together (group 3). Every data were compared with that of 47 nomal children. ELISA (for IgG and IgG-subclass) and RIA (for IgE) were used. The results are as following. 1) Specific IgE-antibody is significantly higher in all three allergic groups, compared with normal control group. But there was no significant difference between three allergy groups. 2) Specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2 IgG4-antibodies were higher than those in normal control group, but IgG3 was not significant. IgG1 and IgG2 were elevated particularly in patients with asthma and rhintis, but IgG4 was elevated in asthma group. 3) The linear correlation between specific IgE and IgG1-antibody was significant (r=0.286), but IgG4 did not have this correlation with IgE. In conclusion, the levels of specific IgE is essential for the diagnosis of allergies, and IgG1 and IgG4 seem to participate in allergic reactions with a different mechanism.

Schilder’s disease is a rare sporadic demyelinating disease of the brain. We report a girl with Schilder’s
disease who had undergone Kasai operation for biliary atresia. The patient presented with acute right
hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a single large tumefactive white
matter lesion. A diagnosis of Schilder’s disease was based on clinical features and MRI findings. The
patient showed dramatic clinical improvement and significant regression of the lesion in response to
high-dose intravenous methyl prednisone, and remained free of relapse of other neurologic problems
during the 3-year follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to investigate recognition and buying practices of street-vended foods among college students in Chungbuk Area. A general dietary practices including snacks, related factors of buying street-vended foods were analyzed. The results showed that many students had irregular dietary habit, especially more than eighty percent of them skipped breakfast. More than sixty percent of students had frequent snacks. It was investigated that college students ate street-vended foods two or three times per week. The order of frequent choice of street-vended foods was rice cake with pasted red pepper(51.9%), sweet and sour pork(19.7%), sundae(5.7%). In microbiological examination, MPN of Coliform and CFU of standard plate count was over a standard value respectively, and acid value of frying oil revealed over value for maximum limitation point. Therefore, food and equipment in street-vended food store was evaluated as poor sanitation status. Most of college students have opinion that street-vended food store must be kept the line. In conclusion, nutrition education for college students should be required to protect them from unsafe street-vended foods.

Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1997;40(5):701-708
PURPOSE: Although immunoglobulin E play a major role in immediate hypersensitivity reactions, some reaginic activity is associated with IgG. Part of the reaginic activity is associated with IgG1, IgG4. In contrast with this reaginic activity of IgG4, allergen-specific IgG4 antibody is allergen neutralizing antibody and contribute to the benificial effect of immunotherapy. The role of specific IgG antibody in allergic disorder is uncertain. The Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is well known as the major allergen triggering allergic disorder. For determining the distribution of specific IgE and IgG subclass antibodies and their role in allergic disorders. Mehtods : Specific IgE and IgG subclasses to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) were measured in 62 allergic children (Group I;Bronchial asthma, Group II; Bronchial asthma +Allergic rhintis) aged 8-13 year. All of them had positive skin test to Dp and every data were compared with thet of 42 normal control. RESULTS: 1) Dp specific IgE antibody titer was significantly higher in Group I, II, III than in control group (p< .01). 2) pecific IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG4 antibodies were higher in all three allergic groups than in control group (p< .01). 3) Specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 antibodies were higher in patient with asthma and allergic thinitis than asthma or allergic rhnitis. 4) The linear correlation between specific IgE and IgG, IgG1 or IgG4 was not significant (p< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Specific IgE, IgG and IgG subclass antibodies were increased in allergic disorders than normal control. The level of specific IgG and IgG subclass antibodies were higher as the clinical symptoms were more severe.

Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is accompanied by mechanical stimulation of the laryngopharynx & by sympathetic timulation, as reflected by an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of certain drugs on blood pressure and heart rate during intubation. We intravenously administered some drugs prior to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in adult patients with ASA class 1-2. Seventy-two patients were devided into four groups as follows: Group 1: Control group (none, n=18). Group 2: Lidocaine only (n=18). Group 3: Lidocaine (1 mg/kg) and d-Tubocurarine (3mg)(n=18). Group 4: Lidocaine (1mg/kg), d-Tubocurarine (3mg) and diazepam (0.1mg/kg)(n=18). Blood pressure, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, rate-pressure product, aterial blood gas were measured before induction, after induction, immediately after intubation and at 1, 2, 3 & 5 minutes after intubation. The results were as follows: 1) There were no significant differences in preinduction values of blood pressure, heart rate, rate-pressure product, arterial blood gas. 2) Systolic blood pressure increased significantly 2 minutes after the intubation in all groups and rapidly returned to the preinduction level in group 4, group 3 and then group 2 in that order compared to group l. 3) Diastolic and mean arterial pressure elevated significantly during intubation and rapidly retur- ned to the preinduction level in group 4, group 3 and then group 2 in that order compared to group l. 4) Heart rate increased significantly after the intubation in all groups and more rapidly returned to the preinduction levels 3 minutes after the intubation in group 4. 5) Rate-pressure product following the intubation was over 15,000 mmHg. beat/min in all groups, and more rapidly decreased 15,000 mmHg. beat/min at 2 minutes after the intubtion in group 4, 5 minutes after the intubation in group 3. 6) pH, PaCO2and PaO2values were within normal range following the intubation in all groups. In conclusion, it is suggested that the administration of lidocaine, d-tubocurarine and diazepam prior to the intubation is ideal for those patients with cardiovascular disease & increased intracranial pressure.
