Alveolar soft-part sarcoma(ASPS) is a rare, aggressive malignancy of uncertain histologic origin with a propensity for vascular invasion and distant metastasis. ASPS may mimic benign vascular neoplams of malformation but careful evaluation of the unique imaging features on CT scans, MR images, and angiograms lead to the correct diagnosis. ASPS of the tongue is slow-growing, painless mass, especially ASPS of the base the tongue is difficult to be noticed by patient, dentists or oral and maxillofacial surgeons on oral examintion because of its location and clinical resemblance to a benign lesion. And it leads to delayed or inadequate diagnosis. We report radiologic and clinical features of an ASPS of the basal portion of the tongue in a 17-year-old boy, showing normal appearance, but palpation of the tongue and floor of the mouth reveals the tumor. Among the 23 cases of a primary ASPS of tongue reported, 7 cases occured on the basal region of the tongue, inculding the present one. There has been no recurrence or metastasis as of 3 years postoperatively.

Various endocrine dysfunctions occur during chemotherapy, including hypoglycemia. However, reports of hypoglycemia associated with 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) are rare. Herein, we report an 8-year-old boy with severe symptomatic hypoglycemia likely due to 6-MP during chemotherapy. He had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia 3 years previously and was in the maintenance chemotherapy period. Treatment included oral dexamethasone, methotrexate, and 6-MP, of which only 6-MP was administered daily. Hypoglycemic symptoms appeared mainly at dawn, and his serum glucose dropped to a minimum of 37 mg/dL. Laboratory findings showed nothing specific other than increased serum cortisol, free fatty acids, ketone, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Under the hypothesis of hypoglycemia due to chemotherapy drugs, we changed the time of 6-MP from evening to morning and recommended him to ingest carbohydrate-rich foods before bedtime. Hypoglycemia improved dramatically, and there was no further episode during the remaining maintenance chemotherapy period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this type of hypoglycemia occurring in an Asian child including Korean.

Although warts are a common skin condition/disease that recurs in childhood, treatment completion is difficult owing to the pain associated with conventional therapies. In this case, Korean herbal medicine, Guijakjihwang-Tang, and indirect moxibustion was used to treat a recalcitrant cutaneous wart without pain and recurrence. A 7-year-old boy presented with recurrent cutaneous warts on his right hand and received cryotherapy 3 times in the previous year. The wart recurred during the course of cryotherapy treatment, and the patient did not want to suffer any more pain from the previous treatment. Therefore, parents sought an efficient and painless therapy. The patient was treated for 2 months using Guijakjihwang-Tang combined with indirect moxibustion. The prominent lesion separated in the 2^nd month of treatment and completely recovered without adverse events in the 3^rd month. There was no recurrence over 12 months of follow-up. This report provides meaningful insights into the use of Korean medicine as a safe, painless and efficient treatment for warts in pediatric patients.

The purpose of this survey, in which 2754 students from 35 middle schools from Taegu city participated, was to identify the degree and the relationship of sexual knowledge, sexual attitude and need for sex education. This information will provide useful data, and promote a more systematic, desirable and practical sex education. The data was collected from September 1 to November 8, 1997. Data was analyzed using the statistical computer package, SPSS to manipulate the data along with percentage, mean, $X^2$-test. t-test, F-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results from this study were summarized as follows: 1. The mean score of sex related knowledge showed significant differences between boys and girls in general knowledge(boys: 10.85 girls: 11.71, p=0.000), in the area of physical development(boys : 5.29 girls: 5.72, p=0.000), pregnancy & physiology (boys: 3.23 girls: 3.57, p=0.000) and venereal disease (boys: 2.33 girls: 2.42, p=0.000). 2. The mean score of sex related attitudes showed a significant differences between boys and girls on the whole(boys : 57.68 girls: 58.92, p=0.000), in the area of psychological differences of the other sex (boy: 26.13, girls: 28.08, p=0.000), and sexual delinquency and its prevention(boy: 14.28, girls: 13.68, p=0.000). However, in the area of other sex friendships (boy: 17.28, girls: 17.16, p=0.274). There were no significant differences between boys and girls. 3. Those who had a higher sex related knowledge score showed more positive attitudes towards sex, but was of no statistical significance(r= 0.312, p=0.000). 4. The majority of subjects wanted to learn about friendship with the other sex(40.1%), about physical and psychological differences in adolescence(24.0%), about prevention of sexual violence(15.0%), about pregnancy and delivery (7.5%), about venereal disease and medical cures(7.3%), about contraception methods (4.3%), as well as other aspects of sexual knowledge (1.8%), 5. The mean score of sex related knowledge generally was higher when one paid a lot of attention to health (F= 3. 148, p=0.014), when one's father was alive(t=3.930, p=0.000), and when one's mother was alive(t=2.807, p=0.005), Hobby activities also showed a significant difference(F=9.092, p=0.000). The mean score of sex related knowledge generally according higher when one had sex education(F=9.470, p=0.000), when one obtained sexual knowledges from a teacher (F = 5. 742, p=0.000), and when one had middle grade problems with sex(F=13.58 4, p=0.000). 6. The mean score of sex related attitudes generally showed significant differences when re ligion(F=2.691, p=0.03), hobbies (F= 3.499, p= 0.002) were considered. Those who had a father also had higher scores(t=2.538, p= 0.011). The mean score of sex related attitudes generally with respect to a subject's sex was higher when one had sex education(t=5.338, p= 0.000), when one had high grade problems with sex(F=6.023, p=0.002), and when one had the experience of friendship with the other sex(t= 8.106, p=0.000), The following suggestions are based on the above results, 1. Systematic sex education must be performed in middle schools in order to establish responsible attitudes toward sex, 2. Sexual knowledge, attitude, and general sex education classes must be performed seperately for early, middle, and late adolescents, In other words sex education programs are needed for each adolescent development stage.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether dating affected young people's concern for their looks and their oral health state, and to motivate students to promote their oral health, as national oral health depended on students who would grow into eligible members of society in the near future. Relevant literature and data were reviewed, and a survey was conducted on residents in and around Seoul, who were in their 20s, for approximately three months from June through August 2006 to find out about their oral health status. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Whether they were seeing someone or not was investigated, and it's found that 37.5 percent had a girl friend or boy friend, and that 6.7 percent hadn't. 2. Concerning the state of dating, 40.3 percent, the largest percentage, had been dating for less than a year, and the largest number of them that accounted for 23.6 percent had been dating one person till then, 4.0 percent were considering getting married with those whom they were seeing. The most dominant type of love was eros(romantic or ardent love; 41.7%), followed by stroge(friendly love; 33.3%), and agape(altruistic, devoted love; 12.5%). 3. As for the impact of dating on oral health status, those who were seeing someone were similar to those who weren't in toothbrushing frequency, toothbrushing time and simplified oral hygiene index. There was no significant gap between the two. 4. Concerning the influence of dating on dental-treatment experience, no statistically significant intergroup differences were found in experiences of taking dental-caries treatment, bad-breath treatment and teeth-whitening treatment. There was a statistically significant intergroup gap only in scaling experience(pE0.05). 5. Regarding the impact of dating on oral health care, 59.7 percent of those who were dating thought that it affected oral health care, and the same rate of the others who weren't stood at 38.3 percent. There was a statistically significant gap between the two(pE0.01). 6. As to the influence of general characteristics on oral hygiene index, their age and gender made no statistically significant differences to that. By occupation, however, many of the company employees were in good oral health, and many of them were in bad oral health, too. The office workers were statistically significantly different from the others in that regard(pE0.01).

2015년 3월 5일 리퍼트 주한 미국대사 테러사건과 2월 25일 세종시 엽총 사건으로 3명이 사망한데 이어 2월 27일 화성 남양에서도 엽총살인사건이 연이어 발생하며 우리 사회도 더 이상 총기로부터 안전지대가 아니라는 것이 현실화 되고 있다. 국제적으로는, 2015년 1월 18세의 김00이 자발적으로 가입한 이슬람 수니파 원리주의 무장단체인 이슬람국가(IS)등 국제 테러조직으로부터 우리나라도 더 이상 테러로부터 안전지대가 아니라는 우려가 높아가고 있다. 우리나라 경찰위기협상은 1988년 올림픽을 대비하여 대테러 위주로 창설 운영되어 왔으나, 20여 년간 대테러 사건은 한건도 발생하지 않으면서 존재에 대한 회의 및 발전 방향에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 시점이다. 우리나라는 각종 살인 테러 강도 등 위기상황을 해결하기 위해 전통적인 물리력 행사가 여전히 선호되고 있고 전술적 역량을 강화하고 있다. 그러나, 국민의 신체와 재산을 보호하는 경찰의 기본 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 미국 등 선진국에서 강조하는 위기협상 기법에 대한 교육 확대로 어떤 사건이 발생하던지 초기에 위기협상이 가능한 체계 확립이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 최 일선 경찰관들이 기본 협상가로서의 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 경찰의 위기협상 운영 실태를 파악하고, 내부 교육 자료 및 언론을 분석하여, 경찰 위기협상의 교육, 선발 등 발전 방향에 대한 대책을 제시하고자 한다.

Objectives : The aims of this report are to examine the personal characteristics and to determine the different reactions against stress by constitutions. To achieve these goals, the statistical research was adopted. Methods : First of all, the total numbers of 398 middle school students were classified into three constitutions by QSCC II. According to each type of constitutions, both of the KPI Personality Test and Multidimensional Encountering Scale (MES) on how to deal with stress were conducted. Summary of the findings : 1. Based on the findings assessed by the QSCC II test, the constitutional distribution reveals the difference according to genders. In Chi-square test, the girl reveals significantly high (p<0.05) distribution in Soyangin. 2. In Independent T-test regarding KPI personality, the girl reveals high significance (p<0.05) in terms of 'Sociability', 'Responsibility', 'Synchronism' and 'Self-feminity' (or Feminization) while the boy reveals high significance in 'Goal-driven' (p<0.05). 3. In Independent T-test regarding the multidimensional encounter scaling, the girl reveals high significance (p<0.05) in D (expression of emotion). 4. In case of the boy, the Soeumin shows low significance (p<0.05) in 'Leadership' and 'Sociability' compared to the Taeumin or the Soyangin. On the other hand, the Soeumin reveals high significance (p<0.05) in 'Responsibility' and 'Self-control' compared to the Soyangin and additionally, shows high significance (p<0.05) in 'Self-feminity' (or Feminization) compared to the Taeumin or the Soyangin. Furthermore, the Soyangin shows high significance (p<0.05) in 'Self-confidence' compared to the Soeumin or the Taeumin. 5. In case of the girl, the Soyangin reveals high significance in 'Sociability' and 'Self-confidence' compared to the Soeumin or the Taeumin while the Soeumin has high significance in 'Synchronism' compared to the Taeumin or Soyangin. On the other hand, the Soeumin has high significance in terms of 'Responsibility', 'Self-control', and 'Self-feminity' (or Feminization) while showing low significance in 'Flexibility' compared to the Soyangin. 6. For boys, the Soeumin has low significance in 'Sociability' in comparison with both the Soyangin and the Taeumin, whereas for girls, the Soyangin reveals high significance in 'Sociability' in comparison with both the Soeumin and the Taeumin. As per the 'Self-confidence' and 'Responsibility', it has been proved that there is no notable difference between the boy and the girl, but to the contrary, as per the 'Self-confidence', both for the girl and the boy, the Soyangin has high significance (p<0.05) in comparison with the Soeumin and the Taeumin. In addition, in 'Responsibility' side, it is recognized that the Soeumin shows high significance (p<0.05) in comparison with the Soyangin both for boys and girls. Only the difference between genders, as to the 'Self-confidence', is that the Soeumin shows low distribution compared to the Taeumin in the case of boys, while the Taeumin shows low distribution compared to the Soeumin in the case of girls. In 'Self-feminity' (or Feminization), for boys the Soeumin shows high significance in comparison with both the Soeumin and the Taeumin, but to the contrary, for girls the Soeumin shows high significance (p<0.05) only against the Soyangin. 7. In case of boys, as to 'Conformability (compromise)', the Taeumin compared to the Soeumin reveals high significance (p<0.05), while for girls, the Soeumin compared to the Soyangin or the Taeumin reveals high significance (p<0.05). Consequently, it presents that the Soyangin has a tendency not to confirm (compromise) relatively in comparison with other constitutions regardless of the genders. Conclusions : In general, except that it shows some constitutional deviation by genders, the statistical findings of this report agree and comply with the personal characteristics of Sasangin presented by Je-Ma Lee.

치외치는 교합면에 법랑질이 원추형으로 돌출되어 결절을 형성한 치아로서, 치아발육 중 법랑기의 내측법랑상피가 외부로 과증식되거나 치수 간엽조직이 국소적으로 과증식되어 나타난다. 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절 또는 마모되기 쉬우며 따라서 이로 인하여 치수노출에 의한 감염이 야기될 수 있다. 상악 전치부 설면에도 원추형으로 돌출된 결절이 관찰되기도 하는데 이를 탈론 교두(talon cusp)라 한다. 치내치는 치아 발육 중 설측의 법랑상피가 일부 함입되어 설측에 깊은 소와가 형성된 형태로서 크기나 전체적인 모양은 정상이다. 방사선 사진상에서 치경부의 법랑질 일부가 함입되어 함입강을 형성하고 그 기저부는 치수에 가까이 위치하고 있어 치수와 개통되어 있을 가능성도 있다. 탈론 교두(talon cusp)와 치내치는 비교적 흔한 형태 이상이지만, 한 치아에 동시에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 이러한 환자에서 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절되거나, 교두 사이 열구가 우식에 이환되어 치수치료가 시행 될 때, 치내치의 복잡한 근관 형태로 인해 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 교합조정, 치면열구전색술 등의 예방적 처치와 주기적인 검진이 필요하고, 치수치료시 정확한 방사선학적 진단을 통한 치내치의 근관 형태 파악이 필요하다. 조선대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원한 10세 남아(하악 좌측 중절치)와 8세 여아(상악 우측 중절치) 그리고 7세 남아(상악 우측 중절치)에서 치내치를 동반한 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 관찰되어 본 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 9세 남아와 8세 여아는 치수 병변으로 인해 치수 치료 중이고, 7세 남아는 병적 소견 없이 교합조정 후 관찰 중이다.

Purpose : HUS usually occurs in children after infection with shiga toxin-producing microorganism(D＋HUS). In contrast, non-postdiarrheal(D-) HUS occurs at any age and has a high rate of relapse and a poor prognosis. The clinical presentation of D-HUS is similar to that of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura(TTP). Recently severe deficiencies of ADAMTS13 were reported not only in TTP and D- HUS but also in D+ HUS during their acute phase. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the plasma ADAMTS13 activity in D＋ and D-HUS. Methods : Nineteen children with HUS(D＋ HUS 12 and D- HUS 7) were enrolled. The assays of plasma ADAMTS13 activity were performed during the acute stage in the D＋ HUS and at various stages of relapsing courses in the D- HUS patients by multimer assay, based on electrophoresis. Results : The median plasma activity of ADAMTS13 in D＋ HUS and D- HUS were 80.9%(37.8-132.4%) and 53.9%(1.0-94.1%), respectively, which were not statistically significantly different from control(86.4%, 34.2-112.3%)(P>0.05). One boy with D- HUS had severe deficiency of ADAMTS13(1.0%). His platelet count was normalized temporarily by fresh frozen plasma infusion. Conclusion : We have demonstrated that there is no significant difference of the plasma ADAMTS13 activity between D＋ HUS, D- HUS and control. We detected severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 in one boy who presented with relapsing episodes of D- HUS. ADAMTS13 deficiency should be considered in the subgroup of D- HUS especially with early onset and recurrent courses. Plasma therapy can be beneficial in this subgroup.
