Spousal support may attenuate stress in breast cancer survivors and improve their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there is limited evidence of a relationship between spousal support, stress, and HRQoL in Asian populations. The current study examined whether spousal support, adherence to the American Cancer Society (ACS) Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Survivors, and breastfeeding experience mediated or moderated the relationship between stress and HRQoL in Korean breast-cancer survivors. Between June 2016 and May 2018, 144 Korean women who survived breast cancer were recruited for the current cross-sectional study. Structured questionnaires and medical records were used to collect data. Structural equation modeling was used to examine mediating and moderating factors. Spousal support buffered the adverse effect of stress on HRQoL (β= −0.22 for stress→spousal support; β = 0.27 for spousal support→physical HRQoL; β = 0.40 for spousal support→mental HRQoL). We found that adherence to ACS guidelines moderated the association between stress and HRQoL (β = −0.14 for stress→mental HRQoL in high ACS adherence; β = −0.79 for stress→mental HRQoL in low ACS adherence). Moreover, beta coefficients were −0.22 for stress→mental HRQoL in women with breastfeeding experience, and −0.71 in those without breastfeeding experience. In conclusion, spousal support mediated the association between stress and HRQoL and this association was moderated by both adherence to ACS guidelines and breastfeeding experience.

Purpose: Human milk (HM) proteins are known as important factors in growing and development of neonates. For longer and easier storage of HM, freeze-drying is suggested as one of the promising methods for HM banks. However, the effects of freeze-drying on HM proteins were not evaluated yet. The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare proteomic data before and after the freeze-drying.Material and methods: Totally nine fresh HM samples were collected from three healthy mothers at 15 and 60 days of lactation period. The samples were freeze-dried and the proteomic analysis was performed by shotgun proteomic method with mass spectrometry. The results were compared between samples of different lactation periods, and before and after the freeze-drying using Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired comparisons. Moreover, the functional grouping and analysis were performed for the detected proteins by bioinformatics analysis.Results: Totally, 245 proteins were detected in the HM samples. The expression of proteins was not affected by both of the different lactation periods and the freeze-drying status (P>.050). Moreover, the functional analysis of proteomic data revealed no significant difference between both groups as well.Conclusion: HM proteins were found not to be significantly affected by the lactation periods (15 and 60 days) and freeze-drying status. As significant changes of HM proteins were not found after the freeze-drying, we hope that the present study would support introducing freeze-drying in the HM banks. However, the number of samples was quite small to provide strong evidence. Moreover, the evaluation of the safe storage length in the view of infectious agents and the composition changes after freeze-drying is warranted in the further study.

Objectives: Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are known as important factors in neurologic and immunologic development of neonates. Moreover, freeze-drying seems to be a promising storage method to improve the processes of human milk banks. However, the effects of pasteurization and freeze-drying on HMOs were not evaluated yet. The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the HMOs profiles of human milk collected before and after the pasteurization and freeze-drying. Methods: Totally nine fresh human milk samples were collected from three healthy mothers at the first, second, and third week after delivery. The samples were treated with Holder pasteurization and freeze-drying. HMOs profiles were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight/time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) mass spectrometry and compared between samples collected before and after the treatments. Results: Human milk samples showed significantly different HMO patterns between mothers. However, HMOs were not affected by lactation periods within 3 weeks after delivery (r2 = 0.972–0.999, p < .001). Moreover, both of pasteurization and freeze-drying were found not to affect HMO patterns in a correlation analysis (r2 = 0.989–0.999, p < .001). Conclusion: HMO patterns were found not to be affected by pasteurization and freeze-drying of donor milks. We hope that introducing freeze-drying to the human milk banks would be encouraged by the present study. However, the storage length without composition changes of HMOs after freeze-drying needs to be evaluated in the further studies.

The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of trace metals in the blood of the general Korean population. A total of 258 healthy individuals, according to their regular medical check-ups, (119 males and 139 females, age ranging from 12 to 78 years old) were enrolled from December 2014 to December 2016. Levels of 10 trace elements were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The geometric mean (GM) levels for lead, arsenic, cesium, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, copper, manganese, selenium, and zinc were 15.97 μg/L, 7.19 μg/L, 2.39 μg/L, 3.41 μg/L, 10.57 μg/L, 0.78 μg/L, 979.8 μg/L, 11.06 μg/L, 111.37 μg/L, and 872.7 μg/L, respectively. There were significant gender-related differences in the levels of several metals; male individuals had higher Pb, As, Cs, Hg, and Se than females, while females had higher Cd, Cu, and Mn than males. We noticed remarkably high blood levels of Hg, As and Al in the Korean population. The element concentrations reported represent a new contribution to the knowledge of the blood chemistry for the Korea population. The data can be used to assess the clinical health of this population.

Purpose: We evaluated the association between macronutrients of human milk (HM), and interactions between maternal age and body mass index(BMI) in matched conditions. Material and methods: Totally, 80 HM samples were collected from healthy breast-feeding mothers at fourth week of lactation. HM macronutrients and maternal data were analyzed. Mothers were subgrouped into four groups by maternal age (20 s/30 s) and BMI (overweight/normal). Results: Two-way ANOVA revealed significant interactions between age and BMI to affect macronutrients; fat, carbohydrate, and calories. Moreover, different responses of fat and calorie to BMI were found in different age groups. Conclusions: The evaluation of over- or under-weighted infants warrants considering both of maternal age and BMI.

Midlife women's knowledge, positive attitudes and management toward menopause may improve the quality of peri and post-menopause life. This study was to identify correlations of the knowledge, attitude, symptoms and management toward menopause in middle-aged women. We used a cross-sectional questionnaire study applying to 231 perimenopausal and menopausal women aged from 40 to 59 years old. The completed data of 189 perimenopausal and menopausal women were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA and pearson's correlation coefficient using the SPSS statistical programme. The menopausal women showed significantly higher physical symptoms than perimenopausal women. The menopausal women showed significantly higher psychosomatic symptom than perimenopausal women. There was a significant correlation between the menopausal attitude and management. This study suggests that the fundamental data of developing midlife women's symptom index (MSI) and providing menopause management could be a strategy to encourage successful menopausal transition in middle-aged women.

Infant feeding decisions depend on knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to explore Korean university students’ knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding by gender and major. This was a cross-sectional comparative study among 341 university students. The instrument was a modified self-administered breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes questionnaire. Female students were slightly more knowledgeable and had somewhat more positive attitudes compared to male students. Students in health-related fields showed more knowledge than students in other disciplines, but their attitudes did not differ in majority. A significant correlation was found between the students’ knowledge and their attitudes.

A new model for the breastfeeding intervention program was implemented in a Korean community health center and the effectiveness of the program was evaluated. Thirty health care personnel from 29 smaller community health centers and 23 breastfeeding helpers were trained in four workshops. They then gave information on breastfeeding to pregnant and lactating women, living in each community in groups or individually. The breastfeeding rate after intervention has significantly increased at 1 week and 9 months of age. These results indicate that the community-based breastfeeding intervention program by training both the health care professionals and peer helpers is effective in promoting breastfeeding.

Nurses collaborate with other medical professionals including doctors, lab technicians, and other nurses to provide patient care. Especially, the nurses often work as a team to take care of multiple patients. However, it is fairly often for the team members to work at different time in different location as they are assigned to work in different shifts. Traditionally, the nurses keep the written patient records for the others to review and also have brief face-to-face meetings as one shift ends and the next shift starts. This process tends to be one-way communication from the nurses, who collected and/or analyzed the patient information, to other nurses in the same team without much opportunity to feedback or clarification. Although, this approach works well for the experienced nurses, the novice nurses or the nursing students in the internship settings require fairly long time to get used to it. To remedy this problem, we are developing a web-based nursing practice collaborative system, which can also act as an in-practice learning system to enable better communication and also group decision making. We designed the system to facilitate collaborative learning by a team of nurses through helping each other to work toward to achieve the goal of best nursing care.
