This study is a descriptive investigation for understanding factors influencing the length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit of elderly patients. Retrospective investigation was conducted on 300 patients aged 65 or older among those who had received an operation under general anesthesia and treated in postanesthesia care unit of hospital C located in Gyeonggi-do, from January 1 to December 31, 2014. The patients' average postanesthesia care unit stay was found to be 48.4 minutes and the 30-59 minute section accounted for the highest part with 58.0%. The postanesthesia care unit stay time according to intra-operative factors showed significant differences depending upon muscle relaxants, transfusion, ABGA, body temperature and total hours under anesthesia. Concerning the post anesthesia care unit stay length according to post-operative factors, significant differences were observed depending upon complications, PCA device, and circulatory drug use. In order to find out factors influencing the post anesthesia care unit stay length, the multiple regression analysis was conducted. As a result, the circulatory drug use and intra-operative lower body temperature were found to have an effect on the post anesthesia care unit stay length with the total explanatory power of 13%. Based on these findings above, it is deemed helpful to carefully monitor factors related to the post anesthesia care unit stay length and provide swift response accordingly for shorter post anesthesia care unit stay time of elderly general anesthesia patients.

Bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical entity whether congenital or acquired in adult. We experinced 8 cases of bronchoesophageal fistula and performed surgical correction from 1991 to 1994. Of the 8 patients, 5 patients were male and three were female aging from 21 to 61 years(mean 44.12$\pm$14.62 years). Seven of 8 patients had congenital bronchesophageal fistula and the other one had acquired bronchoesophageal fistula. According to the classification of Braimbridge and Keith, 4 cases were belonged to type I and 3 cases were type II . The diagnosis was confirmed by esophagogram in six patients, by bronchoscopy and bronchogram in two patients, and in one patient, the fistula was discovered i cidentally during operation. All patients received astulectomy and concomitant procedures were applied as follows ; 4 diverticulectomy, 4 right lower lobectomy, 1 bilobectomy, 1 left lower lobectomy and 1 wedge resection of left lower lobe. All but one patient were discharged without any complication and have been in good condition.

The partial endocardial cushion defect including ostium primum atrial septal defect and anterior mitral leaflet cleft, presents less significant clinical symptoms than complete endocardial cushion defect. But, as mitral insufficiency develops, cardiomegaly, congestive heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypypertension appear. So, partial endocardial cushion defect has poor prognosis and is rarely seen in elderly patients. A 67 years old woman admitted at our hospital for operative treatment with partial endocardial cushion defect. She had increased pulmonary pressure of 45/22 mmHg, mean 32 mmHg. She had repair of ostium primum defect with patch, and the mitral valve was treated with valve replacement. Because advanced atrioventricular block developed postoperatively, she received permanent pacemaker.

Purpose: In this study, the effect of the eye movement direction on visual function related to accommodation was investigated when playing computer games for a certain period of time. Methods: Total 60 subjects in 20s who had the visual acuity of 1.0 or higher without any ocular disease and accommodative dysfunction were asked to play computer games separately in horizontal and vertical directions for 40 and 90 minutes and then measured their accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, accommodative lag and relative accommodations. Thevisual function when not doing the computer game was regarded as a control value, and further compared and analyzed. Results: The accommodative amplitude, accommodative facility, accommodative lag and relative accommodations showed the tendency of decrease after the computer game for 40 minutes, and more reduced values of the visual functions were shown when the computer game extended up to 90 minutes except positive relative accommodation. Positive relative accommodation had a tendency to increase slightly after the computer game for 90 minutes. Meanwhile, the change of the visual functions was primarily influenced by the eye movement in horizontal direction rather than by the eye movement in vertical direction during computer game when analyzed by the direction of eye movement. Conclusions: Over all accommodative functions tended to decrease with the extended VDT working time by computer game, and the frequent eye movement in horizontal direction during VDT tasks could be the main cause of eyestrain since the eye movement in horizontal direction rather than vertical direction significantly affected the change of accommodative function.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and correlation of accommodative lag with refractive error. Method: We had tested the clinical refraction and the accommodative lag in clinically normal 49 young adults (total 98 eyes) aged 18 to 25 years without abnormal binocular function. Monocular and binocular accommodative lag were tested with 0.50 D cross-cylinder lens and near vision test chart which had cross-hairs after full correction of LogMAR visual acuity over 0.05. Results: There was no statistical differences in monocular accommodative lag between right ($0.64{\pm}0.64$ D) and left eye ($0.63{\pm}0.64$)(p=0.858). The accommodative lag of male was higher than female and the range of the value was broader than female in binocular accommodative lag (p=0.015). The wider the inter-pupillary distance was, the higher the accommodative lag was (p=0.003). However, there were no differences with age (p=0.800) and dominant eye (p=0.402). The ranges of accommodative lag of low, middle, and high myopia were 0.75 ~ -0.25 D, 1.25 ~ -0.50 D, and 1.50 ~ -0.75 D, respectively, and the regression was 'y = -0.03953x+0.09205'. Conclusions: These data suggest that clinically normal young adults with high amounts of refractive error have more variable accommodative lag and increased spherical equivalent refraction.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the change of higher-order aberrations induced by aging and the effect of myopic degree on the correlation between age and higher-order aberrations. Methods: The higher-order aberrations in 931 eyes aged from 20 to 60 were measured by using a LADARWave device employing Hartmann-Shack system to analyze the effect of myopic degree measured by manifest refraction test on higher-order aberrations. Results: Coma and vertical coma aberrations were significantly decreased by the increase of myopic degree while vertical astigmatic aberration was significantly increased. The correlations of age and coma, vertical coma, spherical, vertical trefoil, horizontal trefoil, vertical astigmatic, horizontal astigmatic and vertical tetrafoil aberrations depended on the myopic degree, except for horizontal coma and horizontal tetrafoil aberrations. Conclusions: It is suggested to consider the myopic degree for the refractive correction including the laser surgery based on the present result that higher-order aberrations are affected by the myopic degree.

Online judge provides compilation, execution, and immediate feedback on the source submitted by the learner, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation, but it's difficult to select the language according to the level of the learner because most of them provide only textual language. In this study, a block language for online judge was developed and applied to high school classes, and the difference in self-efficacy between the block language and the textual language group was confirmed. It was found that Block language group have more ability expectation to overcome disgust experience than textual language group and Textual language group have significant decrease in ability expectation to start activity and to continue activity. It implies that Block language has an effect on self-efficacy for afterward programming activities, and methods of teaching, learning and evaluation should be devised in the case of textual language so that student's self-efficacy does not deteriorate at the initial and ongoing stage of activity. The results of this study are meaningful in that it provide various implications of methods for enhancing self-efficacy in high school class of programming.

백악질 세포의 분리 및 배양방법을 확립하고, 이를 이용하여 백악질 세포의 형질특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 교정목적으로 발거된 소구치를 이용하여, 치은섬유아세포, 치주인대 세포 및 백악질 유래세포를 분리, 배양하였다. 백악질 유래 세포 배양시에는 백악질을 절제한 후 Collagenase P를 이용하여 백악질 유래 세포 외의 다른 세포의 개제를 배제하였고, 기질을 분해하여 세포의 분리 및 배양이 용이하도록 하였다. 분리 및 배양시기의 세포의 형태를 광화현미정을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 조골세포의 특성을 가지는 SaOs-2 세포를 대조군으로 이용하여 분리 및 배양된 세포군들을 동일한 조건으로 배양하였다. 3일 및 7일째에 세포증식도를 측정하였고 7일째에 ALPase 효소 활성도를 측정하였다. 각 세포의 형질 특성을 알아보기 위해 RT-PCR을 실시하여 조골세포 분화 표식자와 연관된 osteopontin(OPN), Alkaline phosphatase(ALP), type I collagen(COL-I), Bone sialoprotein(BSP), BMP-2 및 osteocalcin(OC)의 발현을 비교 관찰하였다. 백악질 유래 세포의 분리 및 배양을 시도한 5명의 치아 중에서 3명의 치아에서 세포군을 배양해 낼 수 있었다. 배양한 백악질 유래 세포는 섬유아세포와 유사한 형태와 증식을 보였다. ALPase 효소 활성도 검사 결과 백악질 유래 세포는 SaOs-2 세포보다 낮은 활성도를 나타내었으며, 배양된 세포의 RT-PCR 결과 백악질 유래 세포군에서는 ALPase의 발현이 나타나지 않았고, 다른 조골세포 표식자의 발현도 낮게 나타났다. 이는 백악질 유래 세포가 조골세포 및 다른 대조군의 세포와는 다른 형질 특성을 가지고 있다는 것을 시사한다. 이상의 관찰결과로 사람의 백악질 유래 세포롤 백악질의 절제 및 효소처리 방법으로 효과적인 분리 및 배양이 가능하며, 이는 향후 백악질 세포의 형질 특성 및 백악질 형성의 분자적 기전을 파악하는 중요한 연구자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the relationships between verbal behaviors and chemistry problem solving ability in cooperative learning. Based on the previous chemistry achievement. 11th-graders were assigned heterogeneously into three-membered groups. Small cooperative group problem solving processes in using 4 stage-problem solving strategy were audio/video taped. Students' chemistry problem solving ability was then measured by a problem solving strategy performance test. Their verbal behaviors were classified into giving information, receiving information, asking questions, and disagreeing. These were further coded into 16 subcategories. Providing, a subcategory of giving information, was the most frequent behavior. In studying partial correlation between verbal behaviors and problem solving ability, 7 categories were found to have significantly positive relationships. Providing showed the highest correlation with the problem solving ability as reported previously. Moreover, this study also revealed significant correlations in the categories of clarifying provided, correcting, justifying, and clarifying. In the case of low-ability students, the verbal behaviors of giving or receiving information were strongly correlated with problem solving ability. However, these verbal behaviors did not enhance the problem solving ability of high- and medium-ability students.
