한국 영어교육은 정치적 상황에 많은 영향을 받아왔다. 특히 초창기에는 그 영향이 지배적이었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 구한말, 일제시대, 그리고 미군정기로부터 1955년 제1차 중등교육과정이 발표되기 전까지 시기의 영어교육에 미친 정치적 요인을 분석하고자 한다. 구한말은 조선왕조가 쇄국정치를 폐지하고 일본, 미국 등과 통상조약을 맺으면서 문호를 개방하여 영어가 소개된 시기이다. 이는 한국 영어교육이 처음 시작된 시기로서, 한국 근대화를 추구한 고종과 선각자, 또한 기독교 전파라는 종교적 목적을 가졌던 미국 기독교 선교사들에 의해 영어교육이 주도되었다. 영어는 주로 귀족이나 정부 관료의 업무 목적을 위해 가르쳤기 때문에 특수 목적을 위한 영어의 한 유형이었으며, 대부분의 교사가 영미인이었기 때문에 영어로의 교수가 이루어졌던 시기이다. 또한 기독교 학교들에서는 모든 교과가 영어로 가르쳐져서 일종의 몰입 학습 유형이었다. 이러한 특징을 가졌던 영어교육은 일제시대에 일본어 교육 정책, 조선인의 일본 황국민화(동화 정책), 일본의 중일전쟁 및 2차 세계대전 참여로 야기된 전시교육정책의 영향을 받았다. 일제 시대 초기에는 일본어 교육 강화로 영어교육이 침체되었다가 3·1 운동 등과 같은 독립 운동이 시작되자 일본식민정부는 문화 정치를 표명하면서 다시 영어교육을 부활시켰다. 그러나 이는 표면적으로만 이루어진 것이었다. 또한 일제시대 말에는 영어가 적대국 언어로 규정되어 교실언어로서의 사용이 금지되고 영미인 교사들이 일본인 교사로 대치되어, 영어 수업이 이루어져도 영어를 공부 시간에 사용하는 시간은 아주 제한적이었으며, 경성제국대학 입시에 영어가 포함되어 입시 위주의 영어 학습이 시작되었다. 세 번째, 해방 후부터 제1차 중등 교육과정이 공포되기 전 1955년까지는 정치적으로 아주 불안정한 시기였다. 해방과 동시에 남북이 둘로 나누어져 남한은 미군정의 통치를 받게 되었다. 이에 영어교육이 다시 정립되기 시작하였다. 그러나 일제 시대의 영어교육 방법이 그대로 전수되어 시험을 위한 영어교육, 교사중심, 문자언어중심, 문법, 독해중심의 교육이 부활되었다. 이러한 영어교육은 1990년대에 제6차, 제7차 교육과정 개편을 통해 학생중심, 의사소통 중심, 언어기능 중심의 영어교육으로 전환되었지만, 일부 일선 교육 현장에서는 현재까지도 이어지고 있다. This paper explores the impact of political situations in Korea on the early history of its English language education. It is classified into three major periods: the end of Joseon Dynasty(the beginning of English language education). the Japanese colonial time(the declination, revival, and oppression of it), and after liberation from Japan till 1955 including U.S. military govemment(the reestablishment of it). The period was strongly infleunced by the king's modernization policy and American missionaries' propaganda of Christianity. It was mainly for aristocrats and government officers. The second period was dominated by the policies of the Japanese colonial government. including a Japanese-only policy and the wartime education policy during World War Ⅱ. The status of the English language weakened and native speaking teachers were replaced by Japanese instructions. The last period is the emergence period of English language education after liberation from Japan. It had a signification impact of the U.S. military government. which established a comerstone of its reestablishment.

Evaluating the effects of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) venom on the expression of insulin sensitivity and inflammation-related genes in co-culture of adipocytes and macrophages

Obese adipose tissue is characterized by adipocyte hypertrophy and a massive macrophage infiltration. The interaction between macrophages with mature adipocytes releases pro-inflammatory cytokines. This chronic inflammatory state can contribute to obesity-related complications, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we can attempt to prevent and treat obesity-related diseases by inhibiting macrophage infiltration and blocking their interaction with adipocytes. Honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom (BV) has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. Although BV is used to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, few studies have addressed its use in obesity-associated inflammation. This study examines the inhibitory effects of BV on lipid accumulation in differentiating preadipocytes, inflammation, and insulin resistance in macrophages and adipocyte-macrophage co-culture system. We treated 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes with BV during differentiation. We later measured lipid accumulation and gene expression of master adipogenic transcription factors. After RAW264.7 and 3 T3-L1 cells were pretreated with BV, RAW264.7 cells were activated with LPS or co-cultured with pretreated 3 T3-L1 cells. Gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and insulin sensitizing genes was measured in these cells. BV inhibited lipid accumulation and C/EBPα and PPARγ gene expression during intermediate and late 3 T3-L1 cell differentiation. BV also suppressed gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (COX-2, iNOS, MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in LPS-stimulated macrophages, and in co-culture of 3 T3-L1 adipocytes and RAW264.7 macrophages. However, adiponectin and GLUT-4 expression were both significantly increased by BV in co-culture. These findings demonstrate that BV attenuates adipocyte hypertrophy and improves obesity-related inflammation and insulin resistance in obese adipose tissue.

This study was conducted to examine aspects of middle and high school students' drinking and smoking with analysis of related factors. The subjects of this study was 540 students in Kyungbuk Province. Data were collected from July, 2002 to September, 2002. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. 43.6% of the boy students experienced smoking, while 12.2% of the girl students experienced it. 5.3% of the students at academy schools experienced smoking, while 44.7% of the students at vocational schools experienced it. 11.4% of the middle school students experienced smoking, while 33.9% of the high school students experienced it. 15.5% of them who lived in towns or villages experienced smoking and 38.3% of them who lived in small or medium sized cities experienced it.37.5% of the students who belonged to the lower economic class experienced smoking and 20.7% of the students who belonged to the upper economic class experienced it. 24.0% of the students who belonged to the middle economic class experienced it. It appears that the respondents showed significantly different smoking experience rates by gender, school types, grades, the number of family members, residences, and economic classes. 2. 14.5% of the respondents who lived with grandparents and parents experienced smoking and 26.5% of them who lived with parents experienced it. The smoking rate was significantly high in the groups of having one-parent, being unsatisfied with family life, making poor grades in studies, and having the father or the mother working as a salesperson. 3. 45.3% of the respondents who were unsatisfied with family life experienced smoking. The smoking rate of the respondents who were unsatisfied with it was significantly higher than that of the other groups. On the other hand, the smoking rates were not significantly different by daily life, schoolmate relation, health condition, and feeling stress. 4. According to smoking rate by frequency of drinking, 16.4% of the respondents who drank less than once a month smoked and 54.8% of them who drank more than twice a month smoked. The more frequently they drank, the higher their smoking rate was. Those who did exercise displayed significantly higher smoking rate than those who did not do exercise. Among the rates of the respondents' agonies, family disharmony was 50.5% and love problem was 39.2%. Economic condition preblem was 34.6%. It appeared that smoking was most influenced by the family disharmony. 5. The factors significantly influencing smoking experience were gender, school grade, schoolmate relation, score in studies, and exercise. From above results, it can be concluded that the students' smoking is a serious problems which can be resolved by simple approaches because it is interrelated complicatedly with gender, grade, family, school, etc. Schools, related organizations, and the government must closely work together to maximize the effectiveness of policy implementation concerning the smoking and drinking problem of the middle and high school students.

목적 : 2002년 말 중국에서 SARS가 발생한 이후 국내에서도 2003년 10월까지 총 3명의 추정환자, 17명의 의심환자가 보고되었다. 향후 추가적인 SARS의 유행이 우려되는 상황에서, 그간의 SARS 환자 진료에 있어서의 실질적인 준비사항, 진료 현황 등에 대한 조사를 통해 문제점을 파악하여, 향후 더 나은 대비가 될 수 있도록 개선점을 제시하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : SARS로 의심되는 환자를 진료 경험이 있는 병원의료진을 대상으로 2003년 10월에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문에는 SARS 환자 진료 시의 실질적인 조치, 진료 현황, 병실, 응급실 및 외래에서의 격리 시설과 준비사항, 보건당국의 관리와 지원에 관한 사항을 포함하였다. 결과 : 대상이 되는 22개 병원 중 17개(17/22, 77.2%) 병원이 설문에 응하였다. SARS 환자를 위한 격리실은 응급실, 외래, 일반병실 및 중환자실에서 각각 9개(9/17, 52.9%), 5개(5/17, 29.4%), 15개(15/16, 93.7%), 4개(4/16, 25%) 병원에서 음압처리가 되어있지 않은 일인실 혹은 다인실이 사용되었고, 1개(1/16, 6.3%) 병원에서만 일반병실에서 음압격리실이 운영되었다. 입원환자의 진찰 시 개인보호구의 착용은 거의 모든 의료기관에서 이루어졌다. 보건당국에서 SARS지정병원의 시설 등을 사전에 확인한 곳은 1곳(1/12, 8.3%)이였고, 14개 병원(14/15, 93.3%)에서는 보건당국에 의뢰한 검사결과를 통하 받지 못하였다. 결론 : 의료기관에서 SARS 환자용 격리실뿐만 아니라 기존의 격리실 설비 등이 미흡하였으며, 특히 중환자실 및 외래의 준비가 더욱 부족하였다. 보건당국의 의료기관에 대한 종합적인 지원이 부족하였고, 병원과의 원활한 연계가 잘 이루어지지 않았다. SARS 만이 아닌 격리를 필요로 하는 질환의 적절한 진료를 위해 향후 병원 시설의 정비와 정부차원에서의 보다 구체적이고 실질적인 대책마련이 필요하다. Background : There was an worldwide outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) originated from China in late 2002. During that period three cases of suspected SARS and 17 cases of probable SARS were reported in Korea. With the concerns about the reemergence of SARS-coV transmission, it is important to be prepared for any possibility. So, this study is aimed to analysis the past measures in managing SARS and propose the amendatory plans to improve the preparedness. Materials & Methods : Questionnaires were collected among clinicians with any experience in managing the probable or suspected SARS cases in Oct. 2003. 17 out of 22 hospitals responded to the questionnaire. The contents in the questionnaire were practical activities, personal equipments, response plans, isolation facilities in emergency centers, outpatient clinics, general wards and intensive care units, and relationship with the public health department. Results : The dedicated isolation rooms in emergency centers, outpatient clinics, general wards, and intensive care units were prepared in 9 (9/17, 52.9%), 5 (5/17, 29.4%), 15 (15/16, 93.7%), and 4 (4/16, 25.0%) hospitals, respectively. Except for one hospital that newly made negative pressure room for SARS, single or multi-bed rooms without airborne infection control were used in all the other hospitals. The personal precaution principles were kept quite well in general wards. Before the designation of SARS hospital by the public health department prior evalution to see if the hospital was suitable for managing SARS was conducted in only 1 (1/12, 8.3%) hospital. The results of laboratory diagnosis were reported back in 1 (1/15, 6.6%) hospital. Conclusions : The isolation facilities which can control airborne infection were almost deficient not only for SARS but also for other respiratory transmissible diseases. For the infection control of transmissible diseases including SARS, more investment is needed on medical facilities and comprehensive support from the public health department required.

This study was designed to identify the relationship between perceived social support and self-efficacy held by chronic Renal Failure patient. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the theoretical understanding of the relationship of these two variables and eventually to more effective adaptation of patients to their situation. The subjects for this study were the 48 patients receiving hemodialysis at one hospital in Teagu. Data were collected by a questionnarie from July 1 to July 20, 1992. The instruments used for this study were the social support scale developed by Bak, Ji-won(1985) and the Lorig's self-efficacy scale(1989). When test for reliability, Cronbach's alpha score was .91 for the Social support scale and .89 for the self-efficacy scale. The data were analysed by descriptive statistics and frequency, pearson correlation coefficient, using an spss program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. The mean perceived social support score was 4.210 in a possible range of 1 to 5. 2. The mean self-efficacy score of was 3.887 in a possible range of 1 to. 3. The relationship between perceived social support and self-efficacy was significant (γ=.48 p<.001). Therefore the hypothesis that, "the higher the degree of social support perceived by the patients, the higher the degree of self-efficacy" was supported. For these subject, there was a significant relationship between social support and self-efficacy. The patients need social support to inspire their self-efficacy. Nurse should plan interventions to enhance social support for patients with hemodialvsis.

Purpose: This study aims to test if the age of pregnant women affects the perception, experience, and attitude towards complementary alternative therapy (CAT), by investigating the perception, experience, and attitude of pregnant women under the age of 35, and above 35 (Advanced Maternal Age). The study will 1) find the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35 2) compare the perception, behavior, and experience of pregnant women under and over the age of 35, and 3) find the comparison of the perception, behavior, and experience according to the general characteristics of pregnant women under and over the age of 35. Method: The subjects of this study are composed of 44 women under the age of 35 and 44 women above the age of 35, totaling 88 pregnant women visiting midwiferies, obstetrics and gynecology, and baby fairs in Seoul and Gyeong-Gi area. Data for this study was collected from November 28, 2015 to January 6, 2016 for 40 days. The collected data analyzed mean, standard deviation, t test, ANOVA, and chi-square by using SPSS 23.0. Result Results show that there is a significant difference in the perception, attitude, and experience of the two-sample groups in the use of CAT. The question of “what is most necessary when applying CAT in a hospital clinical environment” for the perception criteria came out with the results of t=9.980, p<.05. For the attitude, results showed that the answers of pregnant women under the age of 35 displayed a more positive attitude towards CAT. (t=2.421, p<.05) Lastly, in the experience section, pregnant women under the age of 35 showed more CAT use than the other sample group. Conclusion Results have shown that there is a difference in the perception, behavior, and experience between the two sample groups. Therefore further research on the efficacy and the adverse effects of CAT needs to be done.

한국인 HIV 감염자에서 항레트로바이러스 치료 이행도와 바이러스학적 치료 실패의 상관관계

최준용,박윤수,김창오,박윤선,윤희정,신소연,김연아,송영구,김준명 대한감염학회 2005 감염과 화학요법 Vol.37 No.1

목적 : HIV 감염자에서 항레트로바이러스 치료에 대한 바이러스학적 치료실패와 연관된 인자들로는 낮은 CD4 양성 T 림프구, 낮은 치료 약물 농도. 잘못된 처방등이 있는데, 이들 중에서 낮은 치료 이행도는 바이러스학적 치료실패의 대표적인 원인 중 하나이다. 국내 HIV 감염자를 대상으로 HAART 이행도를 평가하고 낮은 이행도와 관련된 인자를 알아보고 치료 이행도와 바이러스학적 치료실패와의 연관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 연세대학교 의과대학 세브란스 병원에 내원한 한국인 HIV 감염자 중 HAART를 시행 받고 있는 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들의 HAART 이행도를 평가하기 위한 6가지 문항의 설문을 수행하였다. 설문에 의해 측정한 HAART 이행도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 조사하였고, 낮은 이행도와 바이러스학적 치료실패 간의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 결과 : 총 49명의 HIV 감염자가 설문에 응하였다. 대상 환자의 53.1% 만이 약 먹는 것을 잊은 적이 전혀 없었다고 응답하였고, 지난 1주일간 약을 모두 복용하였던 환자는 대상 환자의 46.9%였다. 약을 복용하지 않은 이유에 대해 32명이 응답하였는데, 별다른 이유 없이 잊어버려서 약을 복용하지 않았다고 응답한 경우가 14명으로 가장 많았고, 부작용 때문이거나 바빠서 약을 복용하지 않았던 경우가 각각 5명으로 나타났다. HIV 진단 이후 경과한 시간이 길수록, HAART를 시행한 기간이 길수록 이행도가 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, CD4 양성 T림프구수가 낮을수록 이행도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 설문으로 평가한 HAART 이행도가 바이러스학적 치료실패와 유의한 상관 관계가 있었다(P<0.05). 결론 : 낮은 치료 이행도는 항레트로바이러스 치료의 실패를 가져올 수 있으므로 치료 이행도를 지속적으로 평가하고 향상시키는 것은 HIV 감염의 성공적인 치료를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 향후 국내 HIV 감염자에서 치료이행도를 평가하기 위한 다양한 방법이 개발되어야 하겠고, 치료 이행도를 높이기 위한 다각적인 전략이 마련되어야 하겠다. Background : Several factors associated with human virologic failure in patients with immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are low CD4+ cell counts, advanced clinical stage, poor subscribing, subtherapeutic drug levels, etc. Among these factors, poor adherence is one of the leading causes. Materials and Methods : We evaluated the adherence to antiretroviral treatment in HIV infected Koreans using questionnaire. We evaluated the factors associated with poor adherence and analyzed the correlation between the adherence to antiretroviral treatment and virologic failure. Results : A total of 49 patients responded to the questionnaire. Of the 49 patients, 26 (53.1%) answered that they had never forgotten to take their medicine, and 23 (46.9%) answered that they had taken all their medications during the last week. The reasons for missed doses were forgetting, being too busy, having adverse side effects, etc. Low CD4+ T cell counts, longer duration of antiretroviral treatment, and longer duration of being diagnosed with HIV infection were associated with poor adherence in HIV infected Koreans (P<0.05). There was correlation between poor adherence and virologic failure in these HIV-infected Koreans (P<0.05). Conclusion : Because poor adherence induces treatment failure, monitoring adherence is very important for successful antiretroviral treatment. Questionnaire was a good method for monitoring adherence in HIV infected patients.
