Purpose: This study aims to identify the effects of self-esteem, relationship with children, Social Networking Services(SNS) use intensity on depression in middle-aged women with college-age children, and to provide basic data for the health promotion of middle-aged women. Method: A sample of 133 middle-aged people was purposely selected from parents of university students. Questionnaires used for this study were CES-D(The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale), Self-esteem Scale, Relationship with Children Scale, SNS Intensity Scale. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS 21 with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVAs, Pearson correlation, multiple regression. Result: Self-esteem was correlated with relationship with children (r=0.385, p<0.01) and depression (r=-0.440, p<0.01). Relationship with children was correlated with depression(r=-0.402, p<0.01). As a result, a factor having the greatest influence on the subject's depression degree was self-esteem(β=-0.335), followed by relationship with children(β=-0.274). Conclusion: The result of this study suggested that depression in middle-aged women is closely related to self-esteem and relationship with children. This result can be used in Nursing by developing the theoretical basis for education program related to enhancing self-esteem and relationship with children.

It has been recognized that hyperthyroidism occur in patients with trophoblastic disease, either hydatidiform moles or choriocarcinomas. In the past decade, several lines of evidence have shown that human chorionic gonadotropin, secreted by the trophoblastic disease, is a thyroid stimulator and causes hyperthyroidism. In order to evaluate the relationship between level of thyroid hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin in patients with trophoblastic disease, level of thyroid hormone, serum -HCG and amount of urinary excretion of HCG were measured and analyzed in 24 patients with hydatidiform mole and 11 patients with choriocarcinoma who were admitted to Yonsei University Severance Hospital during the period from January 1981 to December 1986. The results are summarzed as follows: 1) Hyperthyroidism was observed in 33.3% of the patients with hydatidiform mole and in 18.2% of the patients with choriocarcinoma. 2) The amount of 24 hour urinary excretion of HCG in patients with hyperthyroidism was more than that in euthroid patients. 3) There was no difference in the level of thyroid hormone, serum -HCG, and amount of 24 hour urinary excretion of HCG in patients with hydatidifrom mole and choriocarcinoma. 4) The amount of 24 hour urinary excretion of HCG had significant correlation with FT4, whereas no similar correlation was observed between the levels of thyroid hormone and serum -HCG. In conclusion, the occurrence of hyperthyroidism is closely related with the amount of urinary excretion of HCG in patients with trophblastic disease.

Altman's Z-score and Option-based Approach for Credit Risk Measure(Bankruptcy Prediction : Book value or Market Value?)

BUM J. KIM 한국재무학회 2007 한국재무학회 학술대회 Vol.2007 No.04

Managers, stockholders, lenders and employees concern about their firm’s financial condition. This shared interest creates continual inquiries and recurrent attempt to answer the incessant question about how we predict financial distress or what reveals the credit risk of firms. Despite numerous attempts for bankruptcy prediction and their application over three decades after Altman (1968)’s seminal study, financial distress prediction research has not seemed to reach an unequivocal conclusion. We investigated our postulations concerning Altman’s Z-score and the option-based measure based on arguments that the Z-score should lose its significance since its introduction due to some reasons. Based on our results, we learned that Altman’s Z-score loses its significance as a bankruptcy prediction measure due to two possible grounds; it loses its prediction power for long-term prediction and it was not significance for recent years’ data. In addition, we found that the option-based measure does provide significant results as a prediction measure for later years. We believe that the reduction of prediction time span of Z-score and better performance of the option-based measure implies that the more efficient market shortens the information transition time in the market so that bankruptcy prediction should be based on immediate and continuously changing information about the event and discrete or sporadic variables would mislay the interpretation of information concerning bankruptcy.

<P>IL-33 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, atopic allergy, anaphylaxis, and other inflammatory diseases by promoting the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines or Th2 immune responses. In this study, we analyzed the in vivo effect of IL-33 administration. IL-33 markedly promoted myelopoiesis in the bone marrow and myeloid cell emigration. Concomitantly, IL-33 induced hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) mobilization and extramedullary hematopoiesis. HSPC mobilization was mediated mainly through increased levels of CCL7 produced by vascular endothelial cells in response to IL-33. In vivo treatment of IL-33 rapidly induced phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38, and inhibition of these signaling molecules completely blocked the production of CCL7 induced by IL-33. Consistently, inhibitor of CCR2 markedly reduced IL-33–mediated HSPC mobilization in vivo and migration of HSPCs in response to CCL7 in vitro. IL-33–mobilized HSPCs were capable of homing to, and of long-term reconstitution in, the bone marrow of irradiated recipients. Immune cells derived from these recipients had normal antifungal activity. The ability of IL-33 to promote migration of HSPCs and myeloid cells into the periphery and to regulate their antifungal activity represents a previously unrecognized role of IL-33 in innate immunity. These properties of IL-33 have clinical implications in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>We investigate ozone air quality changes in 2050 caused by global changes in climate and anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors by using a global chemical transport model driven by meteorological fields from a general circulation model. We use projected emissions based on the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios and conduct model simulations to quantify the effects of climate and emission changes on future air quality, focusing on ozone in surface air. Our model results show that annual mean concentrations of surface ozone will be lower in 2050 relative to 2000 by −3.3, −3.7, and −4.2 ppbv under RCP6.0, RCP4.5, and RCP2.6, respectively. In contrast, the RCP8.5 projection results in a slight increase of 2.1 ppbv caused by a methane increase. The ozone reductions are driven primarily by decreases in NO<SUB>x</SUB> emission, which dominate the climate penalty on ozone driven by temperature increases. We also estimate the effect of 21st century climate change on ozone air quality, assuming no changes in anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors in the future. We further use a statistical method to analyze the results in order to quantify the effect of each meteorological variable change on ozone concentration in summer. Temperature increase is found to result in ozone increases of up to 2.2 ppbv over land. Ozone over the oceans, however, is largely reduced with specific humidity increase, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, where the ozone concentration decreases by 0.8 ppbv. We find that future increases in natural NO<SUB>x</SUB> emissions from lightning and soil make an important contribution to the formation of nitric acid and might seriously offset future decreases in nitrogen deposition caused by anthropogenic NO<SUB>x</SUB> emission reduction.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> We developed a new linking tool between GEOS-Chem and CESM. </LI> <LI> We investigate ozone air quality changes in 2050 relative to 2000. </LI> <LI> Annual surface ozone changes in 2050 are −4.2–+2.1 ppbv under RCP scenarios. </LI> <LI> Natural NO<SUB>x</SUB> emissions might seriously affect future nitrogen deposition. </LI> </UL> </P>

Kim, Sae-Hoon,Kim, Tae-Wan,Kwon, Jae-Woo,Kang, Hye-Ryun,Lee, Yong-Won,Kim, Tae-Bum,Kim, Sang-Heon,Park, Heung-Woo,Park, Sung-Woo,Chang, Yoon-Seok,Cho, You-Sook,Park, Jung-Won,Cho, Young-Joo,Yoon, Ho-J Informa Healthcare 2012 The Journal of asthma Vol.49 No.3

<P><I>Objective</I>. The prevalence of asthma is increasing, and asthma causes considerable socioeconomic burden worldwide. Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with economic cost of asthma in Korea. This study evaluated asthma cost according to severity, control, and patient factors in Korean tertiary hospitals. <I>Methods</I>. Direct and indirect costs were assessed in physician-diagnosed adult asthmatics recruited from eight tertiary hospitals in Korea. Official direct medical costs were derived from the analysis of 1-year expenditures related to hospital care utilization and asthma medication. Nonofficial medical costs, nonmedical direct costs, and indirect costs were investigated using a questionnaire designed specifically for the study. <I>Results</I>. A total of 314 patients with persistent asthma were recruited. Both direct and indirect costs were significantly higher for patients with severe persistent asthma than for those with mild and moderate persistent asthma ($2214 vs. $871 and $978, <I>p</I> < .001; $2927 vs. $490 and $443, <I>p</I> < .001, respectively). Costs of asthma increased significantly in poorly controlled compared with somewhat controlled and well-controlled asthma ($7009.8 vs. $2725.3 vs. $1517.3, respectively; <I>p</I> < .001). After stratification for severity, a significant cost increase in the poorly controlled asthma group was observed only for indirect costs and not for direct costs. A multivariate analysis showed that female gender was a risk factor for increased indirect costs. <I>Conclusion.</I> The burden of asthma was higher both for patients with severe persistent asthma and for patients with poorly controlled asthma. More effective strategies are needed to improve control status, particularly targeting patients with severe asthma.</P>

김동배(Kim, Dong bae),김상범(Kim, Sang bum),김세진(Kim, Se j in) 한국노년학회 2011 한국노년학 Vol.31 No.3

The purpose of this research are as follows. The first is to investigate the mediating effect of interpersonal skill on the relationship between the ability to use Internet and social activity among the 50's and 60's. The second is to compare 60's latent mean of core variables with 50's ones in terms of information gap. The data was Seoul welfare panel data made by Seoul welfare foundation in 2008 and the total subject was 941(50's=644, 60's=297). When it comes to the research methods, structured equation analysis for verifying the mediating effect and latent mean analysis for comparing the two groups were practiced. The results of this research are as follows. First of all, interpersonal skill did function as partial mediator. Second, according to the latent mean analysis, the group of 50's showed a more higher level of the ability to use Internet. On the other hand, the group of 60's revealed a more active social participation. In conclusion, Information educational programs should focus on Internet communication skill for enhancing social activities of the elderly and consider the differentiations among the elder generations. 본 연구의 목적은 정보화시대 장ㆍ노년층의 인터넷활용능력과 사회활동의 관계에서 대인관계능력의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 또한 장ㆍ노년층 세대 내 정보화격차를 고려하여 50대와 60대 간의 인터넷활용능력, 대인관계능력 및 사회활동의 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구에 활용된 자료는 서울시복지재단에서 실시한 2008년 서울시복지패널조사이며, 50대 644명과 60대 297명이 최종분석대상으로 추출되었다. 연구방법은 대상자의 특성, 집단 간 평균비교와 신뢰도 검증을 위해 기술 분석, t-test, 신뢰도분석을 실시하였다. 또한 구조방정식을 활용한 매개모형의 검증과 50대와 60대 간의 평균비교를 위해 잠재평균분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 인터넷활용능력과 사회활동의 관계에서 대인관계능력은 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 집단 간 잠재평균분석 결과 50대는 인터넷활용능력이 높으며 60대는 사회활동이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 정보화시대 장ㆍ노년층의 정보화교육은 노년기 사회활동을 증대할 수 있는 인터넷커뮤니케이션 활용기술과 관련되어 진행되어야 할 것이며, 세대 내 인터넷활용능력에 대한 고려가 필요함을 입증하였다.
