8.Predictors of Health Promoting Lifestyles in College Women.
Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing 2001;7(3):293-304
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing health promoting lifestyles in college women thus providing the basic data necessary to establish a health promoting program. The subjects of this study were 274 college women, living in Seoul, Chung-Buk, and Kangwon, during the period from May 10 to July 15, 2000. The instruments for this study were the health promoting lifestyles scale developed by Bak, Insuk(1995), the self efficacy scale by Sherer et al. (1982), the social support scale by Su, Moonja(1988), the self-esteem scale by Rosenberg(1965) and the perceived health status scale by Lawton et al.(1982). The results of this study are as follows; 1. The average score for health promoting lifestyles was 2.45 on a 4 point scale. The health promoting lifestyles categories 'harmony relationships' (3.04) and 'sanitary life'(3.02) revealed higher scores, whereas scores for 'healthy diet' (2.32), 'exercise & activity' (2.14) and 'professional health management' (1.48) were lower. 2. The mean score for self-efficacy, social support, self esteem and perceived health status was 3.38 (on a 5 point scale), 2.88 (on a 4 point scale), 2.98(on a 4 point scale) and 3.08(on a 5 point scale) respectively. 3. Health promoting lifestyles showed significant positive correlation with self efficacy, social support, self esteem and perceived health status. 4. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of health promoting lifestyle was self efficacy. Self efficacy, social support, and perceived health status have significant effects on health promoting lifestyles. These predictive variables of health promoting lifestyles explained 25% of variance. Finally, the result of this study will provide important factors for the development of a nursing intervention program for the promotion of healthy lifestyles in college women.

9.The Production of Interleukin - 1 and Stromelysin in the Cultured Intervertebral Disc Cells of Rabbit.
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1998;33(3):858-867
The cells of anulus fibrosus(AF) and nucleus pulposus(NP) of intervertebral disc are thought to be different in their cell components and in their roles during degeneration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences between the cells of AF and NP when lactate was added to the culture medium. After the monolayer culture of cells from the AF and NP of a rabbit was set up, the cells were divided into three groups and lactate doses of a OmM, 2mM or 5mM were added respectively. The production of interleukin-1(IL-1) and stromelysin were measured by RT-PCR and Southern blot- ting. Both cells of NP and AF produced IL-1. The Southern blot showed that the AF cells produced more IL-1. Stromelysin was produced in both NP cells and AF cells. AF cells produced more stromelysin during the culture and the production of NP cells decreased during the culture. These results suggest that fibroblast-like cells composed of AF are more tolerable of lactate and are more active in production of IL-1 and stromelysin under exposure to lactate. As a result, AF cells are thought to have an important role in intervertebral disc degeneration through the production of IL-1 and stromelysin.

10.Clincial Study on Pathologic Fracture
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1988;23(2):523-530
The fractures which develop from a already structually damaged or weakened bones are called pathologic fracture and it can be caused by many different diseases. The way of treatment and prognosis of these pathologic fractures differ in many ways according to causative factors. So, regarding frature that developes without definite history of trauma, one shoud approach them with concepts of pathologic fracture. In the cases of pathologic fracture caused by metastatic bone tumors, physicians are employing more aggressive methods of treatment these days. Authors have analysed 87 cases of pathologic fracture who were admitted to department of orthopedic surgery, Severance Hospital during the period of 10 years(from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1985). Those cases of osteoporosis were all excluded from the study. The conclusion were as follows : 1. There were no discrepancies regarding sexes but 69% of patients were over forty years of age. 2. Fifty percent of pathologic fracture were fractures of femur. 3. Most common causes were metastatic bone tumors(55%), and 36% of these were with unknown primary lesions. 4. In the cases that were caused by metastatic bone tumor, sugical treatment was performed on 46% of these cases. And most cases of patients who were treated with surgical methods improved in pain and ambulation state, especially in patients with use of bone cement.
