This study was to identify the effects of supportive nursing intervention using video-program of operating room nurses before operation on laparoscopic hysterectomy patient's anxiety. This study was nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The data were collected from May 1 to Jun 20, 2013 and analyzed by $x^2-test$, Fisher's exact test and t-test using SPSS 20.0 program. Experimental group(who received supportive nursing intervention) and control group(who received booklet education) was respectively consisted of 25 patients who were laparoscopy hysterectomy. The anxiety(p=.002) of experimental group was significantly lower than control group. The systolic(p=.012) and diastolic(p=.045) pressure of experimental group was significantly lower than control group, but pulse wasn't. The supportive nursing intervention for preoperative patient is considered effective and useful in reducing anxiety. Further research is warranted to investigate the supportive nursing intervention long-term effect.

Objectives : Thyroid cancer patients may experience emotional distress during cancer treatment including surgical operation and radioactive iodine treatment. The aims of this prospective study were to investigate changes of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC) under preoperative, postoperative and short-term hypothyroidism state. Methods : Using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale(HAD) and the Distress Thermometer, we sequentially assessed the levels of anxiety, depression and distress in 41 DTC patients at 3 time points such as preoperative state, postoperative state and short-term hypothyroidism state. Results : The HAD-anxiety score was significantly higher in preoperative state($6.93{\pm}3.97$) than postoperative state($4.22{\pm}2.92$) and short-term hypothyroidism state($4.93{\pm}3.64$). Any other significant change in depression or distress thermometer score was not observed. Especially, difference of HADS score between the distress and none-distress groups was significant in preoperative state and post-operative state, but the difference become not significant in the short-term hypothyroidism state. Conclusions : Induced thyroid hormone deficiency during cancer treatment does not significantly affect emotional distress in patient with DTC. Anxiety and depression in these patients may be associated with distress of the patient before active cancer treatment.

Posterolateral instability of the knee occurs more commonly in association with an injury to anterior and posterior cruciate ligament and combined injuries are severe injuries that result in significant functional instability and articular cartilage degeneration. Reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament without an appropriate treatment of posterolateral corner injury result in failure of the reconstructed cruciate ligaments. Meticulous physical examinations, imaging studies, lower limb alignment and gait pattern should be evaluated. Acute grade III isolated or combined injury of the posterolateral corner is best treated within three weeks by direct repair, or augumentation, or reconstruction. The appropriate surgical method or combined methods are selected among the several methods of posterior and posterolateal reconstruction, and all injuried posterolateral and cruciate ligament structures are anatomically reconstructed simultaneously or by stages. If a varus alignment and varus thrust is disclosed in chronic posterolateral instability of knee, soft tissue reconstructions laterally are highly unlikely to be able to correct tile problem. It is appropriate that valgus osteotomy should be done before soft tissue reconstruction and reevaluate the posterolateral instability about 6 months later.

This study is a nonequivalent control group pre- and post-test design research whose purpose was to determine what effects the pre-operation provision of information has on the anxiety and uncertainty of mothers with a pre-school child of tonsillectomy and nursing satisfaction after the operation. Data were collected from mothers whose child underwent tonsillectomy at S general hospital. For the collection, those mothers were divided into the experimental and control groups, respectively consisting of 19 and 20 members. The experimental group was provided general education about the operation. In addition, they individually received information about the procedure that the researcher and an assistant provided on one-to-one basis for about 20 minutes, in which brochures containing the information were used. While, the control group was provided only general education as mentioned above. For data analysis, this study conducted ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U-test. The pre-operation provision of information was found having brought significant differences between the control and experimental groups in their anxiety(U=104.5, p=.015) and uncertainty(U=83.5, p=.002) as well as their satisfaction after the operation(U=109.5, p=.022). The findings of this study strongly suggest that information provision before the operation is positively effective in reducing the anxiety and uncertainty of mothers with a tonsillectomy child and increasing their nursing satisfaction after the operation. These effects need to be more verified through repetitive and subsequent researches and by using many other methods of information provision.

This work shows the possibility of expansion of existing interpretations through anxiety. They were continuing their previous misbehavior in the name of science. Such a phenomenon is due to the selection of their desires. So they were appearing in violent forms. Audiences who see the scene will be able to choose the opposite realization or action. It can shake the audience mentally. Therefore, this performance represents the anxiety of this period and motivates the audience to take a new action.

This study examined the effects of favorite music therapy on the anxiety and vital signs at each point in gynecologic surgery using the general anesthesia. The research design was a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. The data were collected from May 1 to July 30, 2013 and the participants were 44 patients (experimental group, 21, control group, 23) received music therapy while waiting for anesthetic induction and PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit). Repeated measures ANOVA was performed to analyze the data by SPSS 18.0. Music therapy reduced the anxiety level at inducing the anesthetic time, and awakening time (p=.003; p=.011). The systolic blood pressure maintained stability at discharge from the PACU (p=.023), and pulse rate was stable at the awakening time (p=.016). This findings support the use of music as a nursing intervention to reduce anxiety and maintain the vital signs for gynecologic surgery patients under general anesthesia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to make a report on the clinical prognosis of post traumatic lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee after LCL augmentation and popliteal tenodesis. Materials and Methods: The assessment was made among 21 cases who underwent augmentation of lateral collateral ligament(LCL) and popliteal tenodesis with allograft or artificial ligament (synthetic polyester, ABC ligament, Surgicraft, U.K.) at this Medical Center during the period from July 1996 to July 2003 and whose follow-up period was longer than one year. The authors recorded and analysed the physical findings (external rotation recurvatum test & posterolateral drawer test), stress roentgenograms(preoperative and postoperative) and Lysholm score. Results: The lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee were improved in 20 cases postoperatively, acccording to the clinical test and stress roentgenograms . Average Lysholm score was 52.5 preoperatively and 86.7 postoperatively .Conclusion: Our study found the surgery of lateral and posterolateral instability of the knee with augmentation of LCL and popliteal tenodesis using allograft or artiflcial ligament is simple technique. Taking these results into consideration, it seems to be one of effective methods of treatment.

Introduction : This study compared the clinical results with biceps rerouting fer the isolated posterolateral instability (PLI) and for the PLI combined with PCL injuries. Methods : 21 cases of isolated PLI (group I) and 25 cases of PLI combined with PCL rupture were included in the study. The PLI was reconstructed by modified biceps femoris rerouting technique with PCL reconstructions performed prior to the PLI correction in cases of combined injury The clinical results were reviewed and analyzed. Results : Pre-operatively positive reverse pivot shift test turned negative in 43 cases post-operatively. Increased preoperative external rotation thigh foot angle (ERTFA) showed significant differences between the two groups and all fell within normal limits post-operatively At a mean follow-up of 40.3 months, the average Lysholm knee score and. The Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Ligament Score for group I and group II revealed above 90 points without statistically significant difference between the groups. 3 cases of tenodesis failure developed and re-operation was performed. Discussion and Conclusion : The advantages of modified Clancy technique include reduced surgical damages to the iliotibial band and fixation of the biceps tendon at the isometric position. The modified biceps rerouting technique is recommended for the reconstruction of both isolated and combined PLI except in patients with severe damages at the attachment of biceps tendon.

전방 탈구인 경우 첫탈구이거나 생애에 몇번만 탈구를 경험하고 일상생활에 별 지장이 없다면 보존적으로 치료하는 것이 바람직하다. 다만 early surgey가 요구되는 경우는, 첫탈구가 teen aged이면 관절경적 수술을, 골편이 큰 Bankart병변이 있는 첫탈구는 수술하는 것이 좋다. 전방 불안정성인 경우, collision sports는 개방술로, non-athletes이거나 throwing 또는 contact sports는 관절경술로 시행해 주는 것이 바람직하다. 우리가 명심하여야 할 것은 전방 불안정성을 다루는데 환자의 입장에서 서야 한다는 것이다. 의사의 능력 정도나 욕망보다도 환자의 상태, 활동 정도와 환자의 요구에 맞추어 환자를 치료하여야 한다.
