From an accident at 2:00 a.m. in November 2nd, 2012 that one fire-fighter died while suppressing the E land World Inc. Fire in Bupyeong-Gu, Incheon, we concluded the problem and the improvement method of using the wireless communication (the two-way radio) that the fire safety officer and the safety crew use when identifying the safety of the fire scene. And after the investigation, we could find that the communication between the fire safety officer and the safety crew was difficult in the scene of the fire by voice because of much noise, so they could rely solely on the wireless communication. Therefore, we investigated the wireless communication and its frequency now used in Incheon Fire Safety Devision. Also, we compared with those of the military and the police. As a result, by making use of the wireless communication and its frequency currently possessed in Incheon Fire Safety Division, we found that the fire safety officer and the safety crew rescuing people at the risk of their own life in the various fire scene can communicate effectively.

The purpose of this study was to prevent electric shock to children. children are at high risk of electrocution by accidents. In the present case, a 2-year-old child was electrocuted after inserting metal chopsticks into a home outlet. In this case, professional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) was properly performed by a 119 paramedic, resulting in the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the child. There are very few successful cases of resuscitation of patients involved in electric shock accidents in Korea, and we report a case of ROSC and discharge and proper resuscitation by a 119 paramedic.

The purpose of this study was to improve the paramedics skills to manage advanced airway by comparing speed and success rate between endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask airway(LMA) insertion in a moving ambulance. Sixty subjects were randomly recruited and samely divided into control group and experimental group. And they were asked to join a practical experiment using dummy model. Data analysis was done by SPSS WIN 14.0 Version. As a result of this research, in terms of difference in speed according to patient's intubation posture, the speed of control group was indicated to be good in sniffing position(t=-4.038, p<.001). There was no difference in speed between two groups in neutral position. In the neutral posture given the endotracheal intubation, tooth fracture occurred in 16 people(53.3%). There was no difference in success rate between two groups. As for a change in self-confidence before and after experiment, the post self-confidence was indicated to have been enhanced in both groups. In conclusion, it is effective to use LMA in the traumatic patient who is unable to receive endotracheal intubation in sniffing position. It is very important for the paramedics to receive the continuous training of the airway management skills.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were well known to enhance the intestinal health of human. For the development of pharmaceutical LAB. it was screened that the LAB with activity lowering the cholesterol in vitro and evaluated the hypocholestrolemic effect of live and heat-killed (HK) LAB on rats. The selected Lactobacillus plantarum CBT 1209 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CBT 1702 had the deconjugation of bile salts and assimilation of cholesterol micelles activities from laboratory media, The mixture of 1702 and 1209 strains was administrated to the rats with high cholesterol diet. The experiment performed by 4 groups which were control, HCD, LLAB, HKLAB groups. The hypocholesterolemic effect of LAB (strains 1702, 1209) at blood level, the phenomena of AI decreasing through LDL-cholesterol dwindling, was assessed. This effect of 1702 and 1209 was enhanced when it comes to be the HKLAB more the live-LAB, This data means that the Lactobacillus rhamnosus CBT 1702 and Lactobacillus plantarum CBT 1209 were very useful functional ingredient for hypercholesterolemia.

This study evaluated the relationship between drinking and smoking and periodontal disease in Korean elderly people using 2013-2015 National Health and Nutrition Survey. (OR) 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-2.24) than the non - alcoholic and non - smoking groups. The odds ratios were significantly higher. The odds ratios of periodontal disease were significantly higher in the elderly who were drinking and smoking at the same time than those who did not drink or smoke at all. This study confirms that drinking and smoking are significantly related to periodontal disease. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen drinking and smoking cessation education to maintain oral health of the elderly.

The required standards for environmental tests for communication and electronic equipment used currently in the army are not standards into which the Korean climate and use environment are taken into consideration. But the environmental testing standards of the U.S. army at the time of its establishment(MIL-STD-810) “A” version has been used without taking into consideration the Korean domestic situation and conditions by simply translating the US standards. Adherence to these standards may limit the ability to supply materials in case of emergency since the increase in the manufacturing costs according to excessively strict standards induces an increase in the acquisition cost of military equipment, unnecessarily high maintenance and repair expenses are consumed, and stocks of parts for the military use have to be retained at all times.

Recently, thick PZT films are required for the cases of micro piezoelectric devices with high driving force, high breakdown voltage and high sensitivity, and so on. In this work, thick PZT films were fabricated by Sol-Gel multi-coating method. Microstructures, and electrical properties of films were investigated by XRD, FESEM, impedance analyzer, and P-E hysteresis. PZT films with 2.7$mu extrm{m}$ to 4.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness were fabricated. Dielectric constant, loss, remnant polarization and coercive field of them were 880~1650 at 1kHz, 2~3% at 1kHz, 26~32 $\mu$C/$ extrm{cm}^2$, and 33~60kV/cm, respectively. Also a transverse piezoelectric coefficient $(e_{31,f})$ measurement system was fabricated and tested for thick film samples.

CPR is very important to paramedics, but the chest compression performed while on the move main stretcher is less accurate. The purpose of this study is to find out the difference between performing chest compression on the side of the main stretcher using C-step and on the patient's over the belly in order to increase the effect of CPR on the main object while on the move. As a result of the study, the appropriate depth (t=4.132, p=.000) and speed (t=7.177, p=.000) were shown in the group to which the C-step was applied, and the accuracy was higher (t=6.774, p=.000). In addition, it was found that there were few location defects (t=-5.197, p=.000) and too shallow errors (t=-2.948, p=.008) in the group to which the C-step was applied. In conclusion, mounting a C-step on the main stretcher seems to help improve the quality of chest compression, and it is thought that this will increase the efficiency of chest compression.

This study was conducted to provide the basis for psychological management direction of students ahead of their first field practice by grasping the degree of anxiety and confirming the relationship between departments satisfaction and practice expectations. A survey was conducted on dental hygiene students ahead of their first field practice and 135 people were selected as final analysis subjects. Data analysis investigated general characteristics, department satisfaction, field practice expectation and pre-education satisfaction and statistical analysis was conducted through mean(±SD), one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis method. As a result, the anxiety level was high in the lower group of performance in the previous semester, and the department satisfaction and pre-education satisfaction were high in the group with low anxiety level. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that department satisfaction, field practice expectation, pre-education satisfaction, and anxiety were negatively correlated, and the higher the practice expectation, the lower the anxiety. Therefore, in order to lower the level of anxiety before field practice, it is necessary to come up with measures to increase interventional pre-education, department satisfaction and field practice expectation.
