Ocular ischemic syndrome is a disorder which includes the ocular symptoms and signs secondary to marked carotid artery occlusion, and typically occurs in elderly men. The ocular signs are unilateral injected eye with corneal edema, anterior uveitis, rubeosis iridis, neovascular glaucoma and cataract. On ophthalmologic examinations, unilateral venous dilation, narrowed retinal arteries, equatorial dot-blot hemorrhage and disc or retinal neovasculization are oftenly noted. The characteristic angiographic findings are delayed choroidal and retinal circulations associated with ipsilateral internal carotid artery occlusion. We have experienced a case of ocular ischemic syndrome with neovascular glaucoma, who is 61 year old man with right ocular pain and visual disturbance. Angiographic examinations revealed nearly total occlusion of ipsilateral proximal internal carotid artery.

2.Survey on Running Smoking, No-Smoking Area in Restaurants in Seoul.
Journal of the Korean Dietetic Association 2001;7(1):50-55
Running smoking, no-smoking area in restaurants(n=546) in 25 districts in Seoul area was surveyed and evaluated. No-smoking restaurants were evaluated as A(2.0 points). Restaurants running no-smoking area with guidance to the customers were evaluated as B(1.7 points), and those without guidance as C(1.4 points). In case of the distinction of smoking or no-smoking area are not clear, it was evaluated as D(1.1 points). Restaurants which are not running no-smoking area were scored E(0.8 points). Western style restaurants scored average of 1.55points, which was significantly higher than that of Korean, Chinese or Japanese style ones(average of 1.24~1.27 points). The highest mean score for restaurant 1.625 points in Songpa-gu(district).

4.Regulation of fibronectin gene expression by cyclic AMP and phorbol myristate acetate in HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells.

We studied the regulation of fibronectin (FN) gene expression by cAMP and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) in HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. Dibutyryl cAMP increased FN synthesis and mRNA levels, while PMA inhibited the cAMP-induced FN synthesis. In transient transfection assays, cAMP increased FN promoter activity, while PMA paradoxically enhanced the cAMP-induced promoter activity. Stable transfection experiments, however, showed that neither cAMP or PMA alone nor together affected FN promoter activity. These results suggest that PMA antagonizes the cAMP-induced FN gene expression and that both the action of cAMP and the inhibition of its action by PMA may occur at the posttranscriptional level in HT-1080 cells.

5.Effect of Parenting Stress and Co-worker Support on Work-Life Balance in Nurses Reinstated after Parental Leave
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2020;26(4):331-339
Purpose:
This was a descriptive study aimed at providing basic data on readaptation of hospital nurses after parental leave by exploring levels of parenting stress, co-worker support, and work-life balance and identifying factors affecting work-life balance.
Methods:
A survey using a convenience sampling was conducted with 86 nurses who were within their first year reinstatement after parental leave. Structured questionnaires were used, including the above named main variables and other general characteristics. Data were collected from February to May, 2019 from three tertiary hospitals in Seoul. Data were statistically analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
Results:
Work-life balance showed a statistical difference depending on the level of education; it showed negative correlations with commuting time and fatigue and positive correlations with the attitude to job rotation, health status, and quality of sleep. There was a negative correlation between parenting stress and work-life balance and a positive correlation between co-worker support and work-life balance. Work-life balance was influenced by fatigue, parenting stress, health status, and co-worker support in the regression model.
Conclusion
Parenting stress, co-worker support, health status and fatigue of nurses reinstated from parental leave should be improved to enhance their work-life balance.

For each element, the job specifications are written, which composed of introduction, process, required equipments, and required ability. Required ability included knowledge, skill and attitudes. The relations of the knowledge, skill and attitudes with the possible curriculum currently operated in the college or university were analyzed, also. Job specifications for 576 task elements are analyzed and framed.

This study was conducted as a part of the project developing the standards of national board test for the dietitian's licence. The purpose of this study was to define the job description of dietitians, and to describe the task elements based on the detailed analysis of the dietitians' work. This study team established the research team which was composed of food and nutrition experts, 7 of registered dietitians and 3 of university professors. Draft job description form was made to fully explain the dietitians' task elements, process and sequence by the research team. Final job description form was confirmed after the validity of 576 task elements was reevaluated upon 4 point scale test based on the frequency, importance, and difficulty by 21 field registered dietitian by the study team. It was also confirmed by the university. This form was formated by following DACUM method which analyzed the job description containing duty, task and task elements. It was organized to include every dietitians' work and to describe the every detailed process of work. Duty was defined as the specific and independent work as a dietitian, and was composed of 17 parts, i.e 10 parts in food supply management area and 6 parts in nutritional care service area and self promotion area. Duties were also divided into 99 tasks containing the 576 detailed task elements to describe definite action, steps and decisions. Seventeen parts are following; menu planning, storage and inventory control, food production, meal service, waste management, sanitation, equipment and facility management, human resource management, financial management, nutrition assessment of life cycle, nutritional assessment of several disease, nutritional assessment in specific condition, medical nutrition therapy, nutritional education, public health nutrition and self promotion. If these protocols are properly performed and presented, they can provide the likelihood that dietetics professionals work as a primary contributors in promoting health care and preventing disease nationally.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of posttraumatic growth and meaning in life on health promotion behavior in cancer patients. METHODS: The participants were 124 cancer patients who were treated at a general hospital in Pusan. Data were collected for posttraumatic growth, meaning in life, and health promotion behavior. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 21.0. RESULTS: The mean scores were health promotion behavior 2.72+/-0.47, posttraumatic growth 3.38+/-0.89, and meaning in life 3.29+/-0.59. The scores of health promotion behavior were significantly different by gender, perceived economic status, and economic difficulties due to diagnosis. Health promotion behavior had a significant correlation with posttraumatic growth and meaning in life. In multiple regression analysis, meaning in life and posttraumatic growth accounted for 26.0% of health promotion behavior. CONCLUSION: Posttraumatic growth and meaning in life were important factors that could be used to improve the health promotion behavior of cancer patients.

The development of colorectai cancer following pelvic irradiation has been a much less common event. A 58-years-old woman presented with tenesmus for 5 months. She had a stage IIb, carcinoma of the cervix for which she underwent radiation therapy in 27 years before. Colonscopic findings revealed polypoid mass and irregular ulceration on the rectum and proctitis associated with stricture that was compatible with her previous history of radiation. Histoyathological examination of the polypectomy specimen disclosed adenocarcinoma. So we reported a case of radiation induced carcinoma of reotum which might be the first case in Korean literature. It therefore, behooves the clinician who follows patients whose carcinoma of the cervix or corpus uteri has been cured by radiation therapy to be vigilant for the subsequent development of colon and rectal cancer.
