Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to help North Korean defectors residing in South Korea improve their physical therapy experience and improve their health.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The district's target was 100 Korean defectors living in South Korea. The data of this study were statistically analyzed by the following procedure using the SPSS 22.0 program. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between the experience of physical therapy, the prospect of experience it and satisfaction. The statistical significance level was set to 0.05.
Findings: As a result of this study, there was a correlation between physical therapy experience, satisfaction, and outlook. The middle school or lower and high school satisfaction rate was higher than that of above university, and this difference was also found to be statistically significant (χ2=9.548, p<.05). The moderately heathy and heathy satisfaction rate was higher than that of unhealthy, and this difference was also found to be statistically significant (χ2=10.024, p<.05).
As a result of this study, satisfaction with physical therapy showed a statistically significant positive (+) correlation with intention to recommend physical therapy (r=.423 p<.01) and intention to experience in the future (r=.429, p<.01). Intention to recommend physical therapy and intention to experience in the future also showed a significant positive (+) correlation (r=.766, p<.001).
This study is of great significance in that it investigated the actual state of physical therapy experience targeting North Korean defectors who had not previously been.
Improvements/ Applications: There was no detailed investigation on the physical therapy. In future studies, there is a need to understand this through various measurement tools and subdivided questions based on this study.

Background/Objectives: 6-minute walking distance is a method for evaluating cardiopulmonary function and assessing physical performance. However, the data used in clinics are calculated from Americans. So we measure distance for Asians.Method/Statistical Analysis: In this study, measurement of 6-minute walking distance was performed according to the 2003 American Thoracic Society guidelines. We measured the 6-minute walking distance, body mass index, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure.Findings: The mean 6-minute walking distance of elderly Koreans was found to be 458.5 m. The mean 6-minute walking distances for elderly Korean men and women were determined to be 470.01 m and 452.18 m, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p?0.05).Improvements/Applications: Although Koreans do not represent all Asians, it is necessary that calculations of the 6-minute walking distance are tailored for the Asian population or using the body muscle mass weight.
This study uses machine learning and population data to analyze major determinants of preterm birth including depression and particulate matter. Retrospective cohort data came from Korea National Health Insurance Service claims data for 405,586 women who were aged 25–40 years and gave births for the first time after a singleton pregnancy during 2015–2017. The dependent variable was preterm birth during 2015–2017 and 90 independent variables were included (demographic/socioeconomic information, particulate matter, disease information, medication history, obstetric information). Random forest variable importance was used to identify major determinants of preterm birth including depression and particulate matter. Based on random forest variable importance, the top 40 determinants of preterm birth during 2015–2017 included socioeconomic status, age, proton pump inhibitor, benzodiazepine, tricyclic antidepressant, sleeping pills, progesterone, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for the years 2002–2014, particulate matter for the months January–December 2014, region, myoma uteri, diabetes for the years 2013–2014 and depression for the years 2011–2014. In conclusion, preterm birth has strong associations with depression and particulate matter. What is really needed for effective prenatal care is strong intervention for particulate matters together with active counseling and medication for common depressive symptoms (neglected by pregnant women).
Here, we report that nanoparticles modified with simple end-functionalized alkyl thiol ligands show interesting directional self-assembly behavior and can act as an effective surfactant to encapsulate other functional molecules and nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles modified with the mixture of alkyl thiols and hydroxyl-terminated alkyl thiols organize into unique vesicle-like structures with controllable membrane thicknesses. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the ligand segregation and the edge-to-edge ligand binding are responsible for the two-dimensional assembly formation. Furthermore, the nanoparticle assemblies can encapsulate other functional nanoparticles into the membrane or inside the cavity, generating multicomponent inorganic vesicles with various morphologies. The light-induced release profiles of encapsulated dye molecules showed that the membrane properties can be controlled by varying the membrane thickness and ligand composition.
The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between food delivery workers' awareness and practice of safety education and musculoskeletal pain. It consists of 4 items for general characteristics, 5 items for work characteristics, 9 items for safety education awareness and practice, and 8 items for musculoskeletal pain and pain conditions. As a result of this study, safety education awareness and practice showed a significant correlation with musculoskeletal pain (p<.05). In conclusion, a social institutional device for the health and well-being of food delivery workers should be prepared by strengthening safety education.
Growing evidence shows sex-specific differences in the incidence and mortality associated with various cancers.Prostate, lung, and colorectal cancer occur the most in males, 335The incidence and mortality of various cancers are associated with sex-specific disparities.Sex differences in cancer epidemiology are one of the most significant findings.Men are more prone to die from cancer, particularly hematological malignancies.Sex difference in cancer incidence is attributed to regulation at the genetic/molecular level and sex hormones such as estrogen.At the genetic/molecular level, gene polymorphism and altered enzymes involving drug metabolism generate differences in cancer incidence between men and women.Sex hormones modulate gene expression in various cancers.Genetic or hormonal differences between men and women determine the effect of chemotherapy.Until today, animal studies and clinical trials investigating chemotherapy showed sex imbalance.Chemotherapy has been used without consideration of sex differences, resulting in disparity of efficacy and toxicity between sexes.Based on accumulating evidence supporting sex differences in chemotherapy, all clinical trials in cancer must incorporate sex differences for a better understanding of biological differences between men and women.In the present review, we summarized the sex differences in (1) incidence and mortality of cancer, (2) genetic and molecular basis of cancer, (3) sex hormones in cancer incidence, and (4) efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy.This review provides useful information for sex-based chemotherapy and development of personalized therapeutic strategies against cancer.
