The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of nutrition education program and pamphlet for the lower grades elementary students focused on individual daily needed food exchange units using Food Exchange System. Program consisted of four lessons (40 min/lesson), "5 major nutrients & function", "6 food group and sources", "daily needed food exchange units for normal body weight", and "smart snack choice and exercise". Pamphlet as activity book was developed for the program. The subjects were 3rd grade elementary students (educated group, 31 vs. non-educated group, 31). Educated group were lessoned as group and/or individual. We examined the differences in nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes, dietary intakes and satisfaction of the program and pamphlet. In educated group, there were positive improvements on nutrition knowledge score "function and foods of 5 nutrients" and on dietary attitudes "type of breakfast and snacks". In the evaluation of dietary intakes according to KDRI, there were positive improvements on intakes level of riboflavin, vit. C, folate, Ca, P, Fe and Zn in educated group. In satisfaction with the program and pamphlet, contents, font size, visual, figure, difficulty and program curriculum were over 2.90/3.0. It showed that the developed nutrition education program and pamphlet focused on individual daily needed food exchange units using Food Exchange System improved nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes and nutrients intake level in the lower grades elementary students.

PURPOSE: This was a correlational study to identify effects of perception of clinical ladder system on job satisfaction and intention to leave in perioperative nurses. METHODS: Participants were 154 of perioperative nurses from larger general hospitals in Seoul. Data were collected from April, 16 to 22, 2013 using self-report questionnaires which included items on perception of clinical ladder system, job satisfaction, and intention to leave. Data were analyzed using frequency, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple stepwise regression. RESULTS: The average mean score for perception of clinical ladder system was midline at 2.69 point out of 4 point. Perception of clinical ladder system correlated positively with job satisfaction (r=.38, p<.01) and negatively with intention to leave (r=-.88, p<.01). Perception of clinical ladder system was the factor which most influenced job satisfaction explaining 17.1% of the variance, also perception of clinical ladder system was the factor which most influenced intention to leave, explaining 12.7% of the variance. CONCLUSION: Results of this study suggest that there is a need to enhance the perception of the clinical ladder system and to find ways to fulfill the expected effects for improving perioperative nurses' job satisfaction and reducing the intention to leave.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between insomnia severity, depression, anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity and to find out the explanatory variables that account for the insomnia severity among depression, anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity in general population. 95 mentally healthy volunteers who visit health promotion center of Kangbuk Samsung hospital for their regular medical examination were requested to complete Athens Insomnia Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Anxiety Sensitivity Index. Association between total scores of Athens Insomnia scale and other variables (total scores of Beck Depression Inventory excluded item 16, total scores of State Anxiety, total scores of Trait Anxiety, and total scores of Anxiety Sensitivity Scale) was assessed individually with partial correlations adjusted by age and then together using multiple regression analysis. The total scores of Athens Insomnia Scale were significantly associated with total scores of Beck Depression Inventory excluded item 16(r = 0.541, p<0.001), total scores of Trait Anxiety(r = 0.642, p<0.001), total scores of State Anxiety(r = 0.267, p<0.05), and total scores of Anxiety Sensitivity Index(r = 0.312, p<0.01). Total scores of trait anxiety showed the highest correlation with the total scores of Athens Insomnia Scale and was the significant predictor to total scores of Athens Insomnia Scale among the other predictor variables (p<0.001). These results show that insomnia severity is positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity. The correlation was strongest with trait anxiety. In addition, our results suggest that trait anxiety is associated with insomnia severity in general populations.

BACKGROUND: We assessed the accuracy of staging in evaluation of bronchial invasion thus found the role of CT in patients who underwent resective surgery in primary lung cancer. Materials and METHODS: Authors retrospectively analized the preoperative CT scans of 156 patients receiving pneumonectomy(n=95) and lobectomy(n=61). Among lobectomy patients 7 patients subsequently performed pneumonectomy because of positive resection margin of bronchus in frozen biopsy. We also retrospect lively analized CT scans of non-operated 60 patients who Performed sufficient bronchoscopic biopsy. Bronchial wall thickness more than 3mm, irregular wall thickening find reduction of diameter by CT were defined as bronchial invasion. The pathologic examination of resection margin were positive in 20, stump recurrence occurred in 6 of the operated group, and the pathologic examination of biopsy of bronchial wall were positive in 34 of the non operated group, and these were all regarded as bronchial invasion. RESULTS: The CT assessment of bronchial invasion revealed low sensitivity (11.5%), low positive predictability(38%), but high specificity(96%) and relatively high accuracy (84%) in the operated group and higher sensitivity (62%), higher positive predictability(95%) in non-operated group. CONCLUSION: In lung cancer patients who underwent operation CT showed very low sensitivity and positive predictability In evaluation of bronchial invasion Because the usefulness of CT in evaluation of bronchial invasion is limited, therefore aggressive fiberoptic bronchoscopic biopsy is thought to be necessary before surgical attempt.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of a nutrition education focused on Food Exchange System for the higher grades elementary children. Nutrition education lessons (40 min/lesson, 4 times), '5 major nutrients and functions', '6 food groups', 'daily needed energy and food exchange units', 'good choice of snacks and balanced exercise' were provided to elementary students (5th grade students). This research was based on the data from two groups of elementary school children in the 'education' group (n = 31) and 'non-education' group (n = 31). We assessed the changes in dietary attitude, food habit and nutrition knowledge using questionnaire and nutrient intake using 24hr recall method by nutrition education using the developed pamphlet. After education, there was a significant difference in the dietary attitude score only in attitude of 'balanced meal' (p < 0.001) in the education group compared to the non-education group. In food habit, there were significant positive changes in the type of breakfast and in the priority of choosing snack in the educated group. In nutrition knowledge, there were significant increases in scores of 'function of carbohydrate' (p < 0.05), 'function of fat' (p < 0.01), 'function of vitamin' (p < 0.01), 'foods of carbohydrate' (p < 0.01), and 'foods of vitamin' (p < 0.01) in the educated group. After education,carbohydrate: protein: fat (CPF) ratio was significantly different between the two groups (education group, 59 : 16 : 26 vs. non-education group, 63 : 15 : 23). In evaluation of nutrient intake by Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (KDRIs), there were significant positive effects in energy (p < 0.05), thiamin (p < 0.05), riboflavin (p < 0.05), vitamin C (p < 0.05), phosphorus (p < 0.01), Fe (p < 0.01) and zinc (p < 0.01) in the education group compared to the non-education group. In conclusion, the developed 4 times' nutritional education pamphlet focused on individual daily energy requirements and food exchange units using food exchange system for higher grades' elementary student may positively change nutrition knowledge and dietary intakes.

Purpose:
We evaluated changes in the tear film parameters of the corneal surface, and their correlations with Munk scores,based on corneal topographic scans of patients with nasolacrimal duct obstructions who underwent dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR). We explored whether tear parameters can serve as useful indicators of functional surgical success.
Methods:
We assessed 72 eyes of 45 patients diagnosed with nasolacrimal duct obstruction who underwent DCR. Tear film parameterswere measured via corneal topography (Keratograph® 5M) once before, and three times after surgery, and includedtear meniscus height (TMH), and the initial and average keratographic tear break-up time (NIKBUT-first and NIKBUT-average,respectively; measured noninvasively).
Results:
The three postoperative TMH values were 0.31 ± 0.20, 0.30 ± 0.22, and 0.29 ± 0.15 mm, all of which were significantlylower than the preoperative value of 0.48 ± 0.29 mm (all, p < 0.001). Three months after surgery, the NIKBUT-first (6.90 ± 3.39seconds) was significantly shorter than the preoperative value (8.39 ± 5.34 seconds; p = 0.030). The preoperative NIKBUT-averagedid not differ significantly from the values at the three postoperative timepoints (p = 0.756, p = 0.753, and p > 0.999).Changes in the Munk score after surgery correlated significantly with changes in the TMH (r = 0.46, p < 0.001). When functionalsuccess was defined as a Munk score ≤ 1, the area under the curve (AUC) value corresponding to the ability of TMH to definefunctional success of 0.995, was statistically significant (cut-off of 0.31 mm; p < 0.001).
Conclusions
The TMH DCR correlated significantly with the Munk score, which is a quantitative measure of clinical symptomseverity. The ability of TMH to define functional surgical success was excellent.

Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine 2020;54(2):165-170
Background:
The revised 4th 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) classification has adopted integrated diagnosis encompassing the histology and molecular features of CNS tumors. We aimed to investigate the immunohistochemistry, molecular testing, and testing methods for diagnosis of CNS tumors in pathological labs of tertiary centers in Korea, and evaluate the adequacy of tests for proper diagnosis in daily practice.
Methods:
A survey, composed of eight questions concerning molecular testing for diagnosis of CNS tumors, was sent to 10 neuropathologists working in tertiary centers in Korea.
Results:
For diagnosis of astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors, all 10 centers performed isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations testing and 1p/19q loss of heterozygosity. For glioneuronal tumors, immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays for synaptophysin (n = 9), CD34 (n = 7), BRAF(VE1) (n = 5) were used. For embryonal tumors, particularly in medulloblastoma, four respondents used IHC panel (growth factor receptor bound protein 2-associated protein 1, filamin A, and yes-associated protein 1) for molecular subclassification. Regarding meningioma, all respondents performed Ki-67 IHC and five performed telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutation.
Conclusions
Most tertiary centers made proper diagnosis in line with 2016 WHO classification. As classification of CNS tumors has evolved to be more complex and more ancillary tests are required, these should be performed considering the effect of necessity and justification.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of pain and pain management after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Participants were 99 inpatients with HCC who underwent TACE at C University in Seoul from May to October 2016. The instruments used in this study were the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), the Pain Management Index (PMI), and the modified Patient Outcome Questionnaire (American Pain Society). The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0, specifically descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. RESULTS: The percentage of patients who experienced pain after TACE was 66.7%. The mean pain score immediately after TACE was 4.43±2.36 and the highest score on average was 6.58±2.32. The pain score was highest at 5.24±5.67 hours after TACE. Significant factors influencing pain after TACE were the extent of embolization and the ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) score, which explained 26% of the variance in pain. PMI scores revealed that 33.3% of the participants were inadequately treated for pain. CONCLUSION: In order to properly manage pain after TACE, medical staff need accurate understanding of pain and to administer the appropriate dosage of analgesics. The development of pain management protocol for patients who have undergone TACE would help achieve these goals.

A 75-year old man with esophageal cancer presented with mental status change and seizures. He was under cisplatinand developed several times of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The EEG (electroencephalography) showed triphasic waves and slowed background activity. He was diagnosed with status epilepticus and encephalopathy caused by cisplatin. He was treated with anticonvulsants and cisplatin was replaced by docetaxel. His mentality recovered completely and he had no more seizure. We conclude that physician using cisplatin should be aware of this rare complication.
