This thesis is aimed to suggest the efficiency at the education space for job-rehabilitation through grasping the characteristics of behavior and attitude of the handicapped and analyzing their loaming behavior as an employment promotion for the disabled. For that purpose, the demand of the handicapped and some overlooked space problems we searched by survey, interview, observation and investigation to offer basic data for interior design planning. It resulted firstly that the inconvenience of narrow space was pointed out in many responses implying users suffer from the stress and inconvenience caused by an unconsidered space planning to their behavior. And secondly further difficulties are added when medical appliances for the disabled are not appropriate to common furniture. Finally, without identification of the behavior and attitude of the handicapped the minimum or optimum space needed for them could not be suggested and it may cause to decrease the efficiency in their learning.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced diagnostic tool used in both medicine and dentistry. Since it functions based on a strong uniform static magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses, it is advantageous over imaging techniques that rely on ionizing radiation. Unfortunately, the magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses generated within the magnetic resonance imager interact unfavorably with dental materials that have magnetic properties. This leads to unwanted effects such as artifact formation, heat generation, and mechanical displacement. These are a potential source of damage to the oral tissue surrounding the affected dental materials. This review aims to compile, based on the current available evidence, recommendations for dentists and radiologists regarding the safety and appropriate management of dental materials during MRI in patients with orthodontic appliances, maxillofacial prostheses, dental implants, direct and indirect restorative materials, and endodontic materials.

이갈이 치료에 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 구내교합장치는 치아와 턱관절 및 주위조직을 보호함으로써 이갈이 때문에 발생하는 여러 합병증을 예방하는 것을 주목적으로 하지만, 이갈이 억제에 있어서는 일시적인 증상감소의 효과만을 가질 뿐이므로 환자 스스로가 이갈이를 인지하여 습관을 중단할 수 있도록 하기 위한 특수한 장치의 개발이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소형 방수 스위치를 이용하여 구내장치에 들어가는 부품을 최소화하고 전원의 사용시간을 최대화 함으로서 상품화 가능한 이갈이 진단 및 조절용 장치(이하 이갈이장치)를 개발하여 소개하고, 임상적으로 사용하기 전 장치에 대한 신뢰도를 조사하고자 하였다. 새로 개발한 장치는 이갈이 센서인 소형 방수스위치로 구성된 정보입력부, 중앙정보처리장치(CPU)인 정보처리부, 이갈이 신호를 수신하는 정보저장부, 이갈이 신호에 대한 소리나 진동으로 반응하는 반응장치부 및 컴퓨터상에서 저장된 이갈이 정보를 표시하여 이갈이 빈도와 시간, 양태 등을 확인시켜주는 정보표시부로 구성되어 있다. 이 중에서 resin sheet로 만든 상하의 wafer 사이에 정보입력부인 스위치는 좌우 견치 설면에 고정하고 정보처리부 CPU는 구개중앙에 고정하여 구내교합장치를 제작한 한편, 여기에서 송신되는 정보는 별도의 외부 장치인 반응장치 및 정보저장장치에서 인식하여 feedback을 보낼 수 있도록 하였다. 장치제작의 신뢰도조사를 위해서는 단국대학교 치과대학 학생 중 정상교합을 가진 지원자 10명의 상악 석고모형에 대하여 두 명의 술자가 각각 이갈이장치를 제작하여 그 장치가 반응하는 힘의 크기를 비교하였으며(술자간 신뢰도조사), 또한 한명의 술자가 첫 회에 조사한 정보를 기억하지 못하게 약 2일의 시간 간격을 두고 각각 제작하고 그 장치가 반응하는 힘의 크기를 비교하였다(술자내 신뢰도조사). 술자간 및 술자내 조사에서 이갈이장치가 반응하는 최소의 수직력, 측방력, 중심력에서 모두 높은 상관관계를 보였으며 측정된 값에 있어 서로 유의한 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 새로 개발한 이갈이장치는 부품을 소형화하였으며 제작이 편리하고 구강내에서 안전하게 사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 전원의 사용시간을 최대로 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있으며 술자간 및 술자내 신뢰도 조사를 통하여 임상에 적용가능한 높은 재현성을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 이 장치는 정보처리 및 저장장치가 있고 음향이나 진동을 이용한 바이오피드백 기능을 가지고 있어 이갈이 환자의 진단과 조절에 임상적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Once the decision has been made to adopt an integrated medical information system (IMIS), there are a number of issues to overcome. Users need to be aware of the impact the change will make on end users and be prepared to address issues that arise before they become problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits and unexpected problems encountered in the implementation of IMIS and to determine a useful framework for IMIS. Materials and Methods: The Yonsei University Dental Hospital is steadily constructing an IMIS. The vendor's PACS software, Piview STAR, supports transactions between workstations that are approved to integrating the healthcare enterprise (IHE) with security function. It is necessary to develop an excellent framework that is good for the patient, healthcare provider and information system vendors, in an expert, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Results : The problems encountered with IMIS implementation were high initial investments, delay of EMR enforcement, underdevelopment of digital radiographic appliances and software and insufficient educational training for users. Conclusions: The clinical environments of dental IMIS is some different from the medical situation. The best way to overcome these differences is to establish a gold standard of dental IMIS integration, which estimates the cost payback. The IHE and its technical framework are good for the patient, the health care provider and all information systems vendors.

Objective: Controlling the incisal inclination is fundamental in orthodontics. However, the relationship between the inclination prescription and its clinical outcome is not obvious, and the incisal inclination changes generated by different bracket prescriptions were investigated. Methods: Twenty-eight non-extraction dental Class II patients (15 females, 13 males; mean age = 12.9) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were treated using passive self-ligating fixed appliances with three inclination prescriptions for maxillary incisors (high, standard, low), and two for mandibular incisors (standard, low). Clinical outcomes were compared among different prescriptions, and regression analysis was used to explain the effects of bracket prescriptions and to understand the prescription selection criteria (α = 0.05). Results: For maxillary central incisors, low and high prescriptions were related to linguoversion (p = 0.046) and labioversion (p = 0.005), respectively, while standard prescription maintained the initial dental inclination. Maxillary lateral incisors did not show significant changes. For mandibular incisors, low prescription led to linguoversion (p = 0.005 for central incisors, p = 0.010 for lateral incisors), while standard prescription led to labioversion (p = 0.045 for central incisors, p = 0.005 for lateral incisors). The factors affecting inclination changes were the imposed change and selected prescription, while prescription selection was influenced by the initial dental inclination and initial intercanine distance. Conclusions: The direction of correction of incisal inclination can be controlled by choosing a certain prescription, but the final inclination may show limited consistency with it. The amount of imposed inclination change was the most relevant predictor of the clinical outcome.

It is known that one out of every ten people walking down the street is left-handed. In daily living, left-handed people come across hardwares and facilities that were designed for right-handed people. Most tools, utensils, office equipment, home appliances, clothes, medical instruments, sporting goods, weapons, and public facilities are made for the right-handed person. Many left-handed people thus have trouble with living in our environments. In this study, 1,933 Korean male and female subjects aging from 10 to 82 were selected to investigate the various statistics about hand dominance and their employment characteristics of preferred hand in handling diverse products and facilities. The statistics showed that 5.6% were left-handed and 7.6% were ambidexter. There were strong tendency that left-handed people use more left hand when take action that force is required than when take exquisite action. Ambidexter and right-handed people use more right hand when they take exquisite action is required than when take action that force is required. It was found from these results that people use their hands differently depending on the hand dominance when they handle things, hence this should be considered in designing hand control devices.

Citrate-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in industry, consumer products and medical appliances. However, information on the toxicity, environmental fate and toxicokinetics are not enough. In this study, stability of citrate-capped AgNPs was investigated using different types of isotonic solution, which is important in the toxicokinetic study by the exposure route of intravenous injection. Size, morphology, zeta potential and ion formation were investigated in isotonic solutions for the physico-chemical characterization of AgNPs. Aggregation and precipitation of AgNPs were observed in saline or phosphate-buffered saline while they were stable without precipitation in 2% glycerol of isotonic solution. The average size of AgNPs in 2% glycerol was 6~10 nm, which was almost same as that in water-based suspension of AgNPs. Zeta potential was ranged from -30 mV to -60 mV, which was in the range of original stock AgNPs. The stability was maintained during the whole experimental period of 48 hours. Furthermore, the stability was not changed in different temperature (10~36$^{\circ}C$) and at different concentrations (10~1,000 ppm). The osmolarity of the AgNPs suspension was $299{\pm}1$ mOsm/kg which was in isotonic range. These data suggest that AgNPs in 2% glycerol solution can be used for the preparations of intravenous injection for toxicokinetic study without undesired disturbance of blood isotonicity.

Micro lens array(MLA) is widely used in information technology(IT) industry fields for various applications such as a projection display, an optical power regulator, a micro mass spectrometer and for medical appliances. Recently, MLA have been fabricated and developed by using a reflow method having the processes of micro etching, electroplating, micro machining and laser local heating. Laser thermal relaxation method is introduced in marking of microdots on the surface of densified glass. In this paper, we have proposed a new direct fabrication process using UV laser local thermal-expansion(UV-LLTE) and investigated the optimal processing conditions of MLA on the surface of negative photo-resist material. We have also studied the 3D shape of the micro lens obtained by UV laser irradiation and the optimal process conditions. And then, we made chrome mold by electroplating. After that, we made MLA using chrome mold by hot embossing processing. Finally, we have measured the opto-physical properties of micro lens and then have also tested the possibility of MLA applications.
