This study aimed to evaluate the perception of nutrition teachers about emergency meals in all schools affiliated with the Seoul Office of Education. The purpose of this study was to suggest the need for emergency meals and provide directions for future development, thereby assisting meal service sites. An online survey was conducted from May 26 to 31, 2021, analyzing 130 collected samples. The summary of the results is as follows: First, the nutrition teachers recognized the need for school meal services for the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases and considered the variance among school meal consumers. Also, they generally thought of emergency meals due to the need for social distancing and the decrease in the distribution of food. Secondly, in terms of the differences in the perception about emergency meals, nutrition teachers (45.4%) who have provided emergency meals (t=2.584, P＜0.05) were more aware of the need for emergency meals than nutrition teachers (54.6%) who had not provided emergency meals. Nutrition teachers conceived emergency meals to minimize the contact between people (45.6%) and to rectify the imbalance in nutrition (37.5). Next, emergency meal attributes were observed to be ranked in the order of convenience (3.49), safety (3.15), and satisfaction (2.88). Fourthly, although there were no meaningful differences in emergency meal attributes, there were statistically significant differences in the safety of the cooking process, menu familiarity, the low unit price compared to regular meals and the excellent satisfaction with nutrition provided (t=2.603, P＜0.05), (t=2.039, P＜0.05), (t=2.154, P＜0.05), (t=2.477, P＜0.05) respectively.

PURPOSE: The study was performed to identify the process of change, decisional balance and self-efficacy corresponding to the stage of smoking cessation behavior based on Transtheoretical Model in industrial workers. METHOD: A convenience sample of 146 industrial workers except for the never smokers, were recruited at a H industry in Ulsan. Data were collected from February 1 to 28, 2002. The research instruments were Stages of Change of Smoking Cessation Measure(DiClemente et al, 1991), Process of change(Prochaska, 1988), Smoking Abstinence Self Efficacy (SASE: DiClemente et al, 1985) and Decisional balance(SDB; Kim, 1999). RESULT: The results of this study were as follows; 1. The subjects were distributed in each stage of smoking cessation change: There were 64 subjects (43.0%) in the precontemplation stage, 35 subjects(23.5%) in the contemplation stage, 28 subjects(18.8%) in the preparation stage, 14 subjects(10.1%) in the action stage and 7 subjects(4.7%) in the maintenance stage. 2. Analysis of variance showed that experiental process(F=2.808, p=.042), behavioral process (F=4.567, p=.004) self-efficacy(F=9.809, p=.000), pros(F=11.107, p=.000), cons(F=6.686, p=.000), pros- cons(F=3.446, p=.018) were significantly associated with the stages of smoking cessation change. 3. Through discriminant analysis, it was found that 'PROS' was the most influential variable in discriminating the four stages of change. CONCLUSION: This study can provide the basis of staged matching smoking cessation program using TTM for more effective and useful intervention.

PURPOSE:The prevalence of childhood obesity has been increased rapidly, associated with high morbidity of dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risk factors and insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia. Hyperinsulinemia in obese children may depend on either increased insulin secretion or decreased insulin clearance. We investigate whether insulin secretion and clearance are different between obese and normal weight children. METHODS:The body mass index(BMI), fasting serum glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels were measured in 101 children(52 obese children and 49 non-obese controls) in Ansan area, from 6 to 14 years old. Fasting serum C-peptide/insulin ratio, insulin/glucose ratio, homeostasis model assessment(HOMA) were calculated and compared between obese and control group. RESULTS:The fasting serum insulin and C-peptide levels were significantly higher in obese group than in controls. The C-peptide/insulin ratio was significantly lower and insulin/glucose ratio was significantly higher in obese group than in controls. There were positive correlations between BMI and fasting serum insulin level, fasting insulin/glucose ratio and HOMA. The prevalence of hyperinsulinemia is higher in obese adolescents than in controls. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that increased insulin secretion and decreased insulin clearance may contribute to hyperinsulinemia in obese children.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate parents' perceptions and attitudes regarding a screening test for and subsequent management of students' emotional and behavioral problems. METHODS: A descriptive research design was used, and included disproportional stratified and cluster random sampling. The sample comprised 223 parents of elementary, middle, and high school students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-squared test, and ANOVA with SPSS/WIN 21.0. RESULTS: Overall, parents responded that they knew of the goals, types, and tools of screening tests for students' emotional and behavioral problems. In total, 64.6% of parents reported having information for the screening test in advance. Only 13.5%(n=30) of students had emotional and behavioral problems in the last year. Among these students, 56.7%(n=17) were referred to mental health facilities but only 29.4%(n=5) of them received ongoing management from these facilities. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that parents should receive information about the screening test for and subsequent management of students' emotional and behavioral problems. Health professionals need to build strategies to provide ongoing management for students who have emotional and behavioral problems.

A clinical study was made on female out-patients with hematuria who had visited in the Department of Urology, Kyung Hee hospital during the period from January, l973 to June, l974. Results were as follows: 1. During the period, 466 females visited and 92 patients had hematuria, giving a rate of 19.7 %. Among 92 patients, 25 patients had gross hematuria and 67 patients had microscopic hematuria. 2. Age distribution showed that 38 cases(41.5%) were 20~29 years and 23 cases(25.O%) were 30~39 years. 3. Main symptoms accompanied with hematuria were frequency, tenesmus, painful urination and suprapubic pain in order of frequency. 4. Among the 92 cases showed the highest in urethritis and urethrotrigonitis(35.9%), acute cystitis(33.7%), ureter stone(14.1%), urethral stricture(9.8%), and renal tuberculosis(9.8%), in decreasing order. Most of female hematuria caused by inflammatory lesions of the lower urinary tract.

BACKGROUND: Direct wet mount examination of vaginal secretion, widely applied for the diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in woman patients, is rapid and economical. However, the sensitivity of this technique is not so high. In this study enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed for the detection of serum anti-T. vaginalis IgG antibodies from vaginal trichomoniasis patients. METHODS: Eighty sera from trichomonoasis patients who visited a Dr. Yoon Kyong's Obstetric & Gynecologic Clinic in Songnam and 30 non-infected healthy men were tested for detection of anti-T. vaginalis IgG antibody. Soluble lysate and excretory-secretory antigen prepared by mixing of six isolates of T. vaginalis, and lysate from one isolate(KT4) were used as antigen for ELISA. RESULTS: The sensitivity of ELISA using lysate of six isolates was 95.0%, and the sensitivity of the lysate from KT4 and mixed excretory-secretory antigen from 6 isolates were 86.4% and 76.3%, respectively. Specificities of ELISA by three 93.3%, 96.3% and 92.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that ELISA using mixed lysate of T. vaginalis six isolates could be useful tools for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis.
