Background: This study aimed to investigate whether working long hours was related to infertility among female Korean workers, while taking age into consideration. Methods: We used data from the 2018 National Survey on Fertility and Family Health and Welfare in Korea that is a cross-sectional, nationally representative, and population-based survey. Infertility was defined as women who were not pregnant after regular unprotected intercourse for a year. Working long hours was classified as ≥52 hours, and subgroups as per age were classified on the basis of being younger or older than 40 years of age. Differences in infertility risk between the long working hour group and none were estimated in crude and fully adjusted logistic regression models with age-group stratification. Results: Of 5,909 Korean female workers, the crude and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of infertility for working long hours were 1.295 (0.948-1.737) and 1.303 (0.921-1.809), respectively. In the subgroup of patients below 40 years of age, the crude and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were 1.957 (1.216-3.039) and 1.921 (1.144-3.120), whereas those aged 40 years or older had 0.994 (0.647-1.471) and 0.939 (0.560-1.501), respectively. The weighted prevalence of infertility increased as weekly working hours increased only for the younger than 40-year subgroup. Conclusions: Infertility is associated with working long hours, especially in young-aged workers. Thus, the working schedule must be structured to better suit young female workers.

This study was conducted to investigate the differences in psychopathology and coping strategies among internet addictors, over users and non addictors in high school students. Subjects were 273 high school students in Seoul city. Self rating questionnaires included demographic data, Young’s Internet Addiction Scale, SCL-90-R, Beck Depression Inventory, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and The Way of Coping Strategy. Subjects were classified into 3 groups (addiction, over use, non addiction) by Internet Addiction Scale score. Prevalence of internet addiction was 4.3% and male adolescents were more addictive than female. Students who were mainly involved with internet chatting or game showed higher internet addiction score. The addiction group and over use group showed higher level of somatization, obsession, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, and paranoia than non-addicted group. Addiction group and over use group used passive coping strategies more frequently in the stressful situation than nonaddicted group. Also, the regression analysis for finding out causal factors that predicts internet addiction showed that emotion relieving strategy were important variable which predict internet addiction. Interpersonal sensitivity and emotion relieving coping strategy was important to predict addiction. This study showed that problematic internet use was closely associated with psychopathology and psychiatric comorbidity. And high interpersonal sensitivity and emotion relieving coping strategy were related with internet addiction in adolescence.

열처리에 의한 Morganella morganii와 Photobacterium phosphoreum 유래 Histidine Decarboxylase의 불활성화

박원민(Won-Min Pak),김꽃봉우리(Koth-Bong-Woo-Ri Kim),김민지(Min-Ji Kim),박지혜(Ji-Hye Park),배난영(Nan-Young Bae),박선희(Sun-Hee Park),안동현(Dong-Hyun Ahn) 한국식품영양과학회 2016 한국식품영양과학회지 Vol.45 No.3

Histamine을 생성하는 Morganella morganii와 Photobacterium phosphoreum으로부터 crude histidine decarboxylase(HDC)를 추출하여 65~121°C로 열처리한 다음 균의 생육 및 효소 활성 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 그 결과 M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum은 모든 열처리 조건에서 비 가열 처리구와 비교 시 균의 생육이 저해됨을 확인하였다. M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum 유래 HDC의 효소 활성은 65°C에서 90% 이상의 효소 활성이 저해됨을 확인하였고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 활성이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. SDS-PAGE 결과에서는 65~100°C 범위에서 비가열 처리구와 비교 시 조효소액의 단백질 패턴의 변화가 크지 않았으나, 121°C에서 단백질 band의 강도가 크게 약해졌다. Native-PAGE에서는 65°C 처리 조건에서부터 단백질 패턴의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 따라서 가열처리(65~121°C)는 histamine 생성균인 M. morganii와 P. phosphoreum의 생육을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 HDC의 효소 활성도가 저해됨을 확인하여, 식품산업에서 적용되고 있는 열처리 조건에서 histamine 생성 억제에 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 생각한다. This study was performed to investigate the effects of various thermal treatments on the growth of Morganella morganii and Photobacterium phosphoreum and activity of crude histidine decarboxylase (HDC) obtained from M. morganii and P. phosphoreum. Crude HDC and the two strains were treated at 65°C/30 min, 80°C/10 min, 100°C/10 min, and 121°C/10 min. Activity of crude HDC decreased with increasing temperature. Viable cells counts of M. morganii and P. phosphoreum were not detected in any heated samples. SDS-PAGE patterns of heated HDC did not show significant differences up to 100°C. However, at 121°C, protein band intensity was weakened. In native-PAGE, there was a major change in the pattern of HDC at 65°C. These results suggest that thermal treatment can help to reduce histamine production by reducing HDC activity and growth of M. morganii and P. phosphoreum.

대추잎 항산화 물질의 고효율 추출을 위한 에탄올 용매추출조건을 반응표면분석법을 사용하여 최적화하였다. Box-Behnken design에 따라 추출공정 조작변수(온도, 시간, 에탄올 농도)를 독립변수로, 이에 따라 영향을 받는 종속변수(총 폴리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 전자공여능)를 설정하여 실험하였다. 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량은 시간과 온도의 영향을 거의 받지 않으며, 용매비가 높을수록 증가하다가 최고점을 보인 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 전자공여능 또한 시간과 온도의 영향보다는 용매비에 영향을 많이 받는데, 에탄올 농도가 높을수록 전자공여능이 높게 측정되었다. 추출물의 특성을 모두 만족시키는 최적 추출조건 범위 내에서 임의의 조작조건(온도 45℃, 시간 15분, 에탄올 농도 45%)을 설정하였다. 최적조건에서 예측값과 실험값을 비교한 결과, 유사한 값을 보여주어 회귀식이 신뢰할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. The leaves of Zizyphus jujuba have been used for various purposes including medicine and nutrition. In this study, the conditions for the ethanol extraction of antioxidant from Zizyphus jujuba were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). A Box-Behnken design containing 15 experimental runs with three replicates was employed to study the effects of solvent extraction conditions such as extraction temperature (℃, X<SUB>1</SUB>), extraction time (min, X<SUB>2</SUB>), and ethanol concentration (%, X<SUB>3</SUB>) on the extraction yield of antioxidants from Zizyphus jujuba. The yields of total polyphenols and total flavonoid, and electron donating activity (EDA) were considered as response variables. The second-order polynomial model gave a satisfactory description of the experimental results showing different patterns of extraction conditions with variation in the linear, quadratic, and interaction effects of the independent variables. Based on four-dimensional RSM, one of the optimized sets of conditions was 45% ethanol, 45℃, and an extraction time of 15 min. Under the optimal conditions, the predicted values were 177.64 mg/g dry basis, 35.99 mg/g dry basis, and 86.14% Vit.C equivalents for total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and EDA, respectively. The experimental values showed good agreements with the predicted values.

An improved cholesterol analysis method was developed for powdered infant formula by gas chromatographic separation after liquid-liquid extraction and partition. In the official Korea Food Standard method for cholesterol analysis, the water phase and solvent phase were not well separated in the case of emulsified foods such as powdered infant formulas and baby foods. For the rapid and simple sample preparation method, an optimized direct saponification condition was established for heating temperature, heating time, and KOH concentration. From the results, the optimum conditions were as follows: heating temperature $90^{\circ}C$, heating time 60 min, and 16 M KOH 10 mL for a 2 g infant formula sample; improved separation condition for gas chromatography was as follows: the initial oven condition was $250^{\circ}C$ for 25 min, the oven temperature was increased to $290^{\circ}C$ by $10^{\circ}C$/min ratio, and finally the oven temperature remained at $290^{\circ}C$for 9 min. The developed method could be implemented for the study of cholesterol, providing the advantages of reduced inspection time and cost in emulsified foods such as infant formula.

I could get to the conclusions as follows after studying our professors Drs' books and current magazine on Male Infertility. 1. Most of Drs. considered the reason of male infertility as Weakness(虛勞), which specially meant Jung(精)(the essence of life, or in this case could be semen) scarcity, Jung coldness, Jung lackness. They attributed the infertility to the seminal disorder. 2. In the treatment for male infertility, they emphasized the principle of reinforcing Shin(腎) and rearing Jung and presented correcting inclination as the major treatment. 3. In the medication for male infertility, they presented both special decoction and common medication through analyzing clinical symptoms. Especially, they warned to be deliberate in using hot and blazing ingredients. 4. They emphasized the regimen as the way of gathering and preserving Jung. 5. The unification of Oriental and occidental medicine is the current trend in treating the male infertility. And the analysis of the causes using the advanced diagnostic exams is prominent. 6. Spleen weakness(脾虛), liver stagnation(肝鬱) and phligm stasis(痰壅) could be the cause of male infertility, but the main cause was Shin weakness(腎虛). 7. New trials such as Acupoint Injection and Heating Acupunture as well as new decoction, acupuncture and moxibustion are being explored for curing the male infertily.

A new design for a lightweight flatbed trailer with high bending and torsional stiffness is presented by using an integrated CAE-based optimization procedure. The integrated design procedure consists of two main steps: topology optimization and thickness optimization. During topology optimization, a creative frame layout different from existing ladder-type frames can be obtained by searching the best layout out of all possible layouts of a simplified design domain model. After approximating the result of topology optimization as a thin-walled structure, the approximated thicknesses of the plates are optimized to minimize the mass of a trailer.

The purpose of this project was to find out design elements of patients' uniform which satisfied needs and wants of patients and nurses. Data were obtained via a self-administered questionnaire from 127 patients who were admitted and nurses who employed to Hanyang University Hospital. The questionnaires were composed of dissatisfaction of exiting patient's uniform, evaluation criteria, design preference, and demographic factors. For data analysis, Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan test were employed. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Patients and nurses considered important design elements of neckline, sleeve length, waistband of the pants, and number of pocket. 2. There were differences in dissatisfaction of exiting patient's uniform related to role types. Patients considered factors related to movement such as comfort, easy to dress more importantly, while nurses considered factors related to affairs such as convenient for medical treatment, classification of size, and colorfastness to the laundry more importantly. 3. There was a significant difference in evaluation criteria of patients' uniform related to role types. Nurses considered more important expressive and economic criteria, while patients considered more important functional criteria than others. 4. There was a difference in deign preference of patients' uniform related to role types. Patients preferred uniform design which composed of U-neckline, sleeve of three-quarter length, pants of ankle length, elastic-band with a drawstring, and colors of pink and light green, while nurses preferred design which composed of round neckline, long sleeve length, pants of floor length, and colors of light green and light blue.
