The authors report series of 360 cases of transthoracic fine-needle aspiration cytology (TFNA) from Oct. 1982, through Aug. 1986 at the Seoul National University Hospital. A diagnosis of neoplastic lesion was established in 50.3% of the cases. A non-neoplastic diagnosis was made in 38.5%, nondiagnostic one in 6.5% and inadequate one in 4.7% of the total. Statistical findings on cytological diagnoses were as follows. Specificity was 100% ; sensitivity, 92% ; predictive value for positive, 1.0 ; predictive value for negative, 0.9 ; concordance rate, 84.2% ; diagnostic accuracy in non-neoplastic lesion, 65.4%, and typing accuracy in malignant tumor, 0.77.

In the treatment of dentofacial deformities, analysis of skeletal pattern, with evaluation of plaster dental cast, is essential procedure. This study was based on 20 patients with dentofacial deformity who were admitted to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery Kngnam sacred heart Hospital during the period of Jan 1988 through Aug 1989. We studied serial cephalometric radiogarphs of patients (pre-op, postop immediately, postop 6 moth). The obtained results indicates the good resistance of rigid fixation against relapse in orthognathic surgery.

Purpose: This study was aimed at developing an efficient nursing method for the management of constipation by comparing the effects of abdominal meridian massage on the symptoms of constipation. Method: The subjects were determined by the Rome II criteria and the Constipation Assessment Scale from Aug 30 through Sep 26, 2002. They were randomly divided into two groups: one experimental group of 16, another control group of 15. Abdominal meridian massage was given to the experimental group and no massage was given to the control group. The frequency of defecation and severity of constipation by CAS were measured. The data was analyzed with the t-test, $x^2$-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: There was a significant improvement in frequency of defecation, and severity of constipation in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Abdominal meridian massage can be considered an effective nursing method for the management of constipation among CVA patients.

Geometry relaxation effects on the formation of benzene excimer were investigated by means of ab initio calculation at SOS-CIS($D_0$)/aug-cc-pVDZ level. In the case of T-shaped dimer configuration, intermolecular interactions in the excited states are found to be nearly the same as those in the ground state and structural deformations are limited within a single molecule; the geometry relaxation effects are then negligible and singlet-triplet energy gap remains constant. As for face-to-face eclipsed dimer, on the other hand, both molecules undergo structural change. As a result, intermolecular interactions in the excited states are significantly different than those in the ground state. Although the intermolecular distances obtained from potential energy curve calculation with frozen molecular structures are in qualitative agreement, the excited-state binding energies are notably overestimated with respect to those at optimized structures. In particular, the effects are calculated to be larger in $T_1$ state and hence singlet-triplet energy gap, which reduces markedly in this configuration, is underestimated without relaxation.

As B2B (Business to business) develops swiftly, at home as well as in other advanced countries, plans for activating Electronic business are made and proceeded in a national viewpoint. However, it is essential task for the construction, advancement and activation of B2B framework to make an efficient search for differently built -up data from B2C and thus to look for optimal business partner suitable for his/her own business. For this, in the last Aug. of 2001, government has also referred to ebXML, the exchange model for electronic business data based on XML, as a suggestion for B2B framework. The purpose of this study is to develop search system for efficient choice of business partner and this will play an important role for data processing and competitiveness strengthening of small and medium enterprises. Meanwhile, this system is built up by using systemic characteristics registered in ebXML Registry/Repository and ‘question-expanding’ searching ways based on the particulars of business profiles for both objectiveness and maximum efficiency of search result.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the small animal patients treated by Oriental medicine and develop the treatment strategies for small animal patients. Methods : 58 cases of small animal patients treated in the department of integrated medicine, Veterinary Medical Center, University of Minnesota, USA, from Jan 1 2003 to Aug 30 2003 were surveyed. Results : 1. The number of dog patients was more than that of cat patients and the female patients were more than the male patients. 2. The highest incidence was shown in the age of 6 to 15 on dogs and 11 to 15 on cats, respectively. 3. The number of patients via other hospital was as much as that of the first visitor to this department. 4. The most frequent disease was the musculoskeletal problems in dog patients and the internal medicine problems in cats patients. 5. The improvement rate was 85% in dogs and 86% in cats, respectively. Conclusions: Oriental medicine is supposed to be effective on relieving the symptoms and signs in small animal patients.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of lateral position and chest percussion on gas exchange in the decreased level of conscious patients. The Subjects for this study were 21 patients' admitted in ICU of CNUH from Dec 18th, 1989 to Aug 4th, 1990. The Data was analyzed by paired t - test. The results of this study as follows ; 1) In comparison of supine position, good -lung dependent position and good - lung dependent with chest percussion, the difference of PaO ㆍ was statistically significant (P＜0.05). 2) In comparison of supine position, good -lung dependent position and good - lung dependent with chest percussion, the difference of A-a Do ㆍ was statistically significant (p＜0.05). En conclusion, the use of good -lung dependent position and chest percussion was effective nursing intervention on decreased level of conscious patients in ICU.

A total of 30 cases of gynecological infection were treated with Cefoperazone at the Department of Ob-Gy, Seoul Baik Hospital, Seoul, Korea from Sept. 1979 to Aug. 1980. Cefoperazone sodium was administered in a dose of 2g/day intramusculary or intravenously for 6 to 13 days. The effective rates of Cefoperazone based on clinical and bacteriological response were 100% in 9 cases of acute non-gonorrheal PID, 5 cases of postpartum endometritis, 2 cases of recurrent non-gonorrheal PID and 80% in acute gonorrheal PID(8 out of 10 cases). A case of recurrent gonorrheal PID and 2 out of 3 cases of postoperative infection responded also satisfactorily to Cefoperazone treatment. There were no drug-related abnormal findings in urinalysis, hematology and blood chemistry. Any particular side effects, except for one case of fever and rash which disappeared spontaneously without any treatment or discontinuation of the drug, were not noted during or after the treatment.

The faunistic study on the spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) from Quito and Galapagos Islands was carried out from 1st to 18th Aug. 2000. During the survey period, 50 species of 48 genera belonging to 22 families (include 1 undetermined species) were identified from 562 collecting individuals. The dominant family was Araneidae (Gasteracantha cancriformis : 32% of total species). The species of settling spiders were richer than those of hunting spiders among the identified spiders. The author redescribes and figures in detail Gasteracantha cancriformis, which was collected during a field trip of Quito and Galapagos Islands.

On Aug 4, 2017, the new legislation of 'Act on Hospice & Palliative Care and Patient Determination of Life Sustaining Treatments' was enforced. Compared with articles about the hospice & palliative care of 'National Cancer Act', it should be helpful to update the change points.
