Journal of Korean Academy of Fundamental Nursing 1997;4(2):283-300
This study was undertaken to grasp health-promoting behavior of the elderly and to identify variables related to them in order to facilitate nursing intervention for health promotion of this population. The subjects for this study were 291 old persons obtained by cluster sampling from twenty general social welfare centers located in Tague. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaires from August 13 to September 13, 1996. Questionnaires were developed based on Sherer and others Self-Efficacy scale, Rosenberg's Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale, Northern Illinois University's Health Self Rating Scale, Walker and others' Health Promotion Lifestyles Profile. Analysis of the data was done by use of descriptive statistics, stepwise multiple regression, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, MANOVA, t-test, and ANOVA. The results were summarized as follows : 1. For the practice of health-promoting behavior, the mean score was 2.89 and range was 3.59 to 2.09. The factor of the highest mean score was regular diet(M=3.42) and factor of the lowest mean score was stress management(M=2.27). 2. The combination of self-efficacy, internal health locus of control, family number, and average monthly pocket money explained 30.0% of the variance of health-promoting behavior. 3. With regard to the relationship between health-promoting behavior and cognitive perceptual factor, self-efficacy correlated positively with health-promoting behavior(r=.4951, P=.0001), self-esteem correlated positively(r=.3263, P=.0001), internal health locus of control correlated positively(r=.3244, P=.0001), perceived health status correlated positively(r=.1355, P=.0274). 4. According to age(F=2.50, P=.0431), sex(t=2.14, P=.0332), marital status(F=7.85, P=.0005), education(F=5.44, P=.0003), family number(F=11.18, P=.0001), people living together(F=7.21, P=.0009), previous occupation(F=5.83, P=.0001), average monthly pocket money(F=7.27, P=.0001), there were differences of health-promoting behavior. The above findings show that health-promoting behavior are related to demographic characteristics, four cognitive perceptual factors(self-efficacy, self-esteem, internal health locus of control, perceived health status). On the basis of the above findings the following recommendations are made; 1. Nursing interventions enhancing exercise or activity, accountability for health, stress management of the elderly must be provided. 2. Nursing strategies enhancing self-efficacy which is most significant effect on health-promoting behavior must be developed.

Objective: To examine the effects of Tribulus terrestris L. (T. terrestris) extract on the modulation of calcium channels to evaluate its use in topical agents for treatment of atopic dermatitis. Methods: The 70% methanol extract of T. terrestris was prepared. Human HEK293T cells with over-expressed calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai1), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, or transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) were treated with T. terrestris extract. Modulation of ion channels was measured using a conventional whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Results: T. terrestris extract (100 mg/mL) significantly inhibited Orai1 activity in Orai1-stromal interaction molecule 1 co-overexpressed HEK293T cells. In addition, T. terrestris extract significantly increased the TRPV3 activity compared with 2-Aminoethyl diphe-nylborinate (100 mmol/L), which induces the full activation of TRPV3. Conclusions: Our results suggest that T. terrestris extract may have a therapeutic po-tential for recovery of abnormal skin barrier pathologies in atopic dermatitis through modulating the activities of calcium ion channels, Orai1 and TRPV3. This is the first study to report the modulatory effect of a medicinal plant on the function of ion channels in skin barrier.

Myocardial ischemia occurs when myocardial oxygen availability is inadequate to meet metabolic requirements. The common cause of myocardial ischemia is atherosclerotic epicardial coronary arteries. Isoflurane is a potent small vessel-type coronary vasodilator and has the potential for causing regional myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary disease, but it's still controversial. We experienced a case of transient myocardial ischemia during general anesthesia with isoflurane. The patient was a 51 year- old male who underwent a direct clipping of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm. There was no specific abnormality on preoperative laboratory tests except for mild mitral valve regurgitation on the cardiac echocardiogram. He had once experienced several minutes of sudden severe chest tightness just 3 months before admission, but it had subsided without any specific treatment. One hour after beginning of operation, abnormal EKG changes such as ST-T elevation, QRS widening, VPC, ventricular tachytcardia and ST-T depression appeared and then normalized within 2 minutes with stopping isoflurane and using isosorbide dinitrate. He discharged 12 days later without complications. After discharge, Tread-mill test, SPECT and 2D echocardiogram were performed but there was no any evidence of coronary artery disease.

We report a case of delayed rupture of pseudoaneurysm after operation for meningionma. A 68-year-old female presented with mild headache and hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic mass lesion with a solid component, which was attached to dura in the right frontal area. The mass was totally removed, and diagnosed to transitional type meningioma with histopathological examination. Postoperatively, almost of preoperative symptoms were impoved. About a month later, she developed sudden onset deterioration of mental state and hemiparesis. Computed tomography disclosed a large intracerebral hemorrhage at the site of the tumor bed. Emergency operation was performed. During the evacuation of hematoma, we found a ruptured pseudoaneurysm, and secured it with circumferential wrappig and clipping. The patient recovered well and became ambulatory. In case of delayed intracerebral hematoma at the postoperative site, a possibility of the rupture of pseudoaneurysm should be considered.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to examine parenting attitude and stress according to personality type in elementary school students' mothers. METHODS: The subjects consisted of 206 mothers of students. The measurement instrument was the questionnaire consisting of Korean-version MBTI and PSI test. Data was collected from March 15th to April 15th, 2008. RESULTS: Among personality types by function, ST type was most, occupying 60.2%. Among personality types by temperament, SJ type was most, occupying 59.2%. The score of affective attitude was highest among the parenting attitudes. Parenting attitude was significantly different according to age, education, economic status, number of children, planned pregnancy, factor of stress, and family type. Parenting stress was significantly different according to planned pregnancy and factor of stress. In parenting attitudes by personality types, affective attitude was significantly different. Parenting stress was significantly different according to personality type by function. There was a negative correlation between affective and autonomic attitudes and parenting stress. There was a positive correlation between rejective attitude and parenting stress. CONCLUSION: It would be essential to provide dynamic developmental programs for increasing the children's social ability, and nursing intervention, education and counseling programs for decreasing parenting stress through understanding mothers' personality type.
