BACKGROUND: This study used MDS-HC 2.0 (Minimum Data Set-Home Care) to analyze the health and the state of function of the traveling health objects. This study was intended to make use of it with the basic materials for providing them with traveling health service suited for the requirement on the health of the traveling health objects. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 1160 people (over 65 years) living under management control of local Health Center from September 7th to October 3th, 2006. This study was analyzed with inter RAI program & SPSS/WIN 10.0, chi-square -test, t-test, and ANOVA. RESULTS: The result showed that 8.97 CAPs per an elderly person was identified and the subjects over 60% had an injury problem from a fall, health prevention service, vision, IADL, pain, and cognition. The number of CAPs in general was high in higher age and the less educated, and those without a job. But, in subjects that had a life partner and a spouse, the number of CAPs was low. In CAPs by the distinction of sex, CAPs which was much more in man than women in statistics were the improvement of health, the abuse of alcohol and drinking wine, bedsore, and the weak supply system. CAPs which women had much more were the function of the heart and the lungs, pain, the performance of the doctor's advice, health prevention service, and incontinence of urine and insertion of catheter. According to the results comparing CAPs by the level of the ADL, the number of CAPs was shown that the group of ADL 2 was higher than group ADL 1. The matter in which the traveling health service had to be applied in all both ADL1 and ADL2 was injury from a fall, health prevention service, and vision. Conculsion: MDS-HC is applicable to decide the care needs for health and social service supplies. The results can be further applicable for careplan, and referral criteria in continuum of care service over long-term care spectrums.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare and analyse dieting practices and tendencies in 2010 and 2015 using big data. METHODS: Keywords related to diet were collected from the portal site Naver from January 1, 2010 until December 31, 2010 for 2010 data and from January 1, 2015 until December 31, 2015 for 2015 data. Collected data were analyzed by simple frequency analysis, N-gram analysis, keyword network analysis, and seasonality analysis. RESULTS: The results show that exercise had the highest frequency in simple frequency analysis in both years. However, weight reduction in 2010 and diet menu in 2015 appeared most frequently in N-gram analysis. In addition, keyword network analysis was categorized into three groups in 2010 (diet group, exercise group, and commercial weight control group) and four groups in 2015 (diet group, exercise group, commercial program for weight control group, and commercial food for weight control group). Analysis of seasonality showed that subjects' interests in diets increased steadily from February to July, although subjects were most interested in diets in July in both years. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the number of data in 2015 steadily increased compared with 2010, and diet grouping could be further subdivided. In addition, it can be confirmed that a similar pattern appeared over a one-year cycle in 2010 and 2015. Therefore, dietary method is reflected in society, and it changes according to trends.

The perception volume, intake volume, and satiety rate of rice, soup, and side dishes using tableware and food trays were analyzed. Rice, beef, soup, and side dishes in tableware (1st week) and the same menu in food trays (2nd week) were served to twenty-nine female college students over two consecutive weeks (BMI 22.1 kg/㎡ , Age 22.9 yr). The results showed that the perceived volume of soup served in tableware was significantly higher than when served in a food tray. On the other hand, except for the perception volume of soup (tableware: 174.80±19.40 g, food tray: 136.14±12.77 g, P＜0.05), there was no significant difference in the food perception volume and food intake volume using tableware and food trays between the two groups.The satiety rate of the food tray group (6.68) was significantly higher than that of the tableware group (7.42) after one hour (P＜0.05). However, except after one hour, the two groups’ satiety rate showed a similar pattern. In most of the comparisons, the results showed no difference between table ware and food trays.Besides, the use of food trays has advantages in terms of easy to manage and convenience. Therefore, food trays might be a better option instead of a tableware.

We had a female patient with soft tissue tumor involving large portion of Achilles tendon. After resection of tumor, Achilles tendon was reconstructed using an allogenic human fascia lata manufactured by Pfrimmer-Viggo. EMG findings on postoperative 8 months show marked improvement of function of medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles. Biopsy specimen of fascia lata allograft, which was acquired during TAL 8 months postoperatively, shows myxoid degeneration, a few lymphocytic infiltration and some foreign body giant cells. Functional, histologic and EMG findings suggest that human fascia lata allograft could be used to bridge defect of Achilles tendon being resected during tumor surgery.

The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) including reliability and validity. The TSCYC is an instrument to identify trauma symptoms in children from age 3 to 12 yr by their caretakers. The Korean version of the TSCYC was administered to the caretakers of a normative group of 299 children (137 boys and 162 girls) aged 3 to 12 yr and a traumatized group of 73 sexually abused children (22 boys and 51 girls) aged 3 to 12 yr and their caretakers rated the TSCYC and the Child Behavior Checklist and the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory. Among normative group, 88 performed a re-test after 4 weeks. The internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha of total scale of the TSCYC was 0.92 (normative group) and 0.96 (traumatized group). For the nine clinical scales in the TSCYC, it ranged between 0.46-0.92 and 0.77-0.96, respectively. Test-retest correlation of the TSCYC was good (Pearson r score ranging 0.52-0.96). Correlations between the TSCYC and other measures of corresponding constructs were satisfactory. Regarding discriminant validity, the mean total score of the TSCYC was significantly higher in the traumatized children than in the normative group. This study demonstrated that Korean version of the TSCYC is a reliable measure with excellent internal consistency and good stability over 4-week test-retest interval. It can be recommended for clinicians to screen for trauma symptoms after child sexual abuse in Korean young children between the ages 3 and 12.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of our study is to evaluate the hemodynamic changes during the use of different general anesthetic methods in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. METHODS: 45 women undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups. The first group, called group P, used propofol for general anesthesia. The second group, called group D, used desflurane and the third group, called group S, used sevoflurane. The hemodynamic parameters HR (heart rate), MBP (mean blood pressure), CO (cardiac output), SV (stroke volume), CI (cardiac output), and SVR (systemic vascular resistance) were obtained 7 times by using a partial CO2 rebreathing method and an automated blood pressure device. RESULTS: In the group D and group P, HR decreased significantly reaching the head-down position and CO2 insufflation. In the all groups, the MBP increased significantly after reaching the head-down position and CO2 insufflation. There were no significant differences among the groups in this test. In the all groups, CO, SV and CI decreased significantly after reaching the head-down position and CO2 insufflation, followed by a slight recovery to near-normal values or higher than normal after CO2 deflation, with the exception of group P. SVR increased significantly after reaching the head-down position and CO2 insufflation, followed by a slight recovery to near-normal values or higher than normal after CO2 deflation. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery with CO2 insufflation induces significant hemodynamic changes including increases of MBP, SVR and reduction of HR, CO, SV, CI (P < 0.05). These changes are especially significant in group P, used propofol except MBP (P < 0.05). But these changes of group P were all within normal limits.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma comprises 12 to 45 percent of all liposarcoma. It has been a therapeutic dilemma and a less prognosis because of its tendency to attain a tremendous size due to early silent growth and difficult wide en bloc excision in the retroperitoneum. Here in we report a case of retroperitoneal liposarcoma in 51 year old male patient with a brief review of the literatures.
