Ostomates have suffered from many difficulties due to their physical, psychosocial handicaps and changes of life style to include ostoma management that influences their daily and quality of life. An appropriate nursing education for ostoma management is very important. Practical educational materials needs revision because those were developed by pharmaceutical companies and hospital institutions. The purpose of this study is to provide more practical and reasonable education materials for ostomates by doing analysis and survey of educational materials now being used. We surveyed 8 types of educational materials used in 23 university hospitals and medical centers in Seoul ; four of them were developed by department of nursing and the remainder by an Ostomy Company Data, collected from July 14, 1997 through July 31, 1997 were analyzed. The results are as follows ; 1. The analysis of education guide, on ostomate included 14 subcategories : introduction, structure and function of gastrointestinal tracts, definition of stoma, types of ostomy, definition of peristalsis, methods of defecation management, selection of instrument, resolution of problems and general situations following surgery, daily life, where to ask for help, explanations for terms, information about where to buy instrument, explanations for enterostomal therapist, a matter of consultation with doctor, etc. 2. Introduction contained specific contents on practical ostomate management that ostomates would experience through their lives. Ostomate education guides were developed 3 hospitals except one which missed this point. 3. Most ostomate education guides, except one hospital, helped ostomates to understand their physical structure changes with specific explanations on gastrointestinal tracts with figures. 4. Six institutions did not talk about the definition of peristalsis. 5. All institutions, except two, helped ostomates to understand types of ostomy with figures. 6. More detailed explanations on natural defecation are needed. The benefits and pitfalls of natural defecation should be more specified. 7 No psychosocial difficulties of ostomy management were addressed. 8. The efficiency of enema can be better understood through all explanations with figures. Some institutions did not mention items about definition, benefits, pitfalls of enema, sequency of enema, how to wash, cautions performing and enema, skin management, cleaning instrument after enema proper time to spend. 9. There were no detailed contents and what to do in case of not being able to do enema. 10. Only one educational material mentioned emotional aspects after the surgrey. 11. Most institutions explained subcategory of daily life but did not provide specific contents on the difficulties of physical, psychological, and sociocultural controls. 12. The subcategory of ureterostomy education guides included explanations on normal structure and function of urinary tracts, types of ureterostomy, how to manage skin, usage and types of instrument, commercial urostomy, how to manage instrument, daily life, introduced the general contents. However, more specific explanations were needed.

Stress transfer to the surrounding tissues is one of the factors involved in the design of dental implants. Unfortunately, insufficient data are available for stress transfer within the regenerated bone surrounding dental implants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentration of stresses within the regenerated bone surrounding the implant using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis method. Stress magnitude and contours within the regenerated bone were calculated. The $3.75{\times}10-mm$ implant (3i, USA) was used for this study and was assumed to be 100% osseointegrated, and was placed in mandibular bone and restored with a cast gold crown. Using ANSYS software revision 6.0, a program was written to generate a model simulating a cylindrical block section of the mandible 20 mm in height and 10 mm in diameter. The present study used a fine grid model incorporating elements between 165,148 and 253,604 and nodal points between 31,616 and 48,877. This study was simulated loads of 200N at the central fossa (A), at the outside point of the central fossa with resin filling into screw hole (B), and at the buccal cusp (C), in a vertical and $30^{\circ}$ lateral loading, respectively. The results were as follows; 1. In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type I and II, stresses were increased from loading point A to C in vertical loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, concentrated on the top of the cylindrical collar loading point B and C in vertical loading. And, In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type III, stresses were increase from loading point A to C in vertical loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, B and C in vertical loading. 2. In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type I and II, stresses were decreased from loading point A to C in lateral loading. Stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were concentrated on the top of the cylindrical collar in loading point A and B, distributed along the implant evenly in loading point C in lateral loading. And, In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type III, stresses were decreased from loading point A to C in lateral loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, B and C in lateral loading. In summary, these data indicate that both bone quality surrounding the regenerated bone adjacent to implant fixture and load direction applied on the prosthesis could influence concentration of stress within the regenerated bone surrounding the cylindrical type implant fixture.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical outcomes and complications of spinal deformity associated with neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1). Methods : From 2012 to 2018, patients suffering from spinal deformity associated with NF-1 who underwent surgical correction were identified. Demographic data and radiographic measures were retrospectively reviewed. Pre- and postoperative whole spine radiograph images were used to determine both coronal and sagittal Cobb angles. All of patients underwent 3-dimentional computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging scan to confirm dystrophic features. For evaluation of clinical outcomes, we surveyed the pre- and postoperative scoliosis research society-22r (SRS-22r) score. Results : Seven patients with spinal deformity associated with NF-1 were enrolled in this study. The mean age of patients was 29.5±1.2 years old. The mean follow-up period was 2.8±1.4 years. The apex of the deformity was located in cervicothoracic (n=1), thoracic (n=4), and lumbar region (n=2). Most patients have poor bone quality and decreased bone mineral density with average T-score of -3.5±1.0. All patients underwent surgical correction via posterior approach. The pre- and postoperative mean coronal and sagittal Cobb angle was 61.6±22.6° and 34.6±38.1°, 56.8±18.5° and 40.2±9.1°, respectively. Mean correction rate of coronal and sagittal angle was 44.7% and 23.1%. Ultimate follow-up SRS-22r score (average score, 3.9±0.4) improved comparing to preoperative score (average score, 3.3±0.9). Only one patient received revision surgery due to rod fracture. No serious complication occurred, such as neurological deficit, and viscerovascular injury. Conclusion : The surgical correction of patients having spinal deformity associated with NF-1 is challenging, however the radiographic and clinical outcomes are satisfactory. The all posterior approach can be a safe and effective surgical option for patients having dystrophic curves associated with NF-1.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of stress within the regenerated bone surrounding the implant using three dimensional finite element stress analysis method. Using ANSYS software revision 6.0 (IronCAD LLC, USA), a program was written to generate a model simulating a cylindrical block section of the mandible 20 mm in height and 10 mm in diameter. The $5.0{\times}11.5-mm$ screw implant (3i, USA) was used for this study, and was assumed to be 100% osseointegrated. And it was restored with gold crown with resin filling at the central fossa area. The implant was surrounded by the regenerated type IV bone, with 4 mm in width and 7 mm apical to the platform of implant in length. And the regenerated bone was surrounded by type I, type II, and type III bone, respectively. The present study used a fine grid model incorporating elements between 250,820 and 352,494 and nodal points between 47,978 and 67,471. A load of 200N was applied at the 3 points on occlusal surfaces of the restoration, the central fossa, outside point of the central fossa with resin filling into screw hole, and the functional cusp, at a 0 degree angle to the vertical axis of the implant, respectively. The results were as follows: 1. The stress distribution in the regenerated bone-implant interface was highly dependent on both the density of the native bone surrounding the regenerated bone and the loading point. 2. A load of 200N at the buccal cusp produced 5-fold increase in the stress concentration at the neck of the implant and apex of regenerated bone irrespective of surrounding bone density compared to a load of 200N at the central fossa. 3. It was found that stress was more homogeneously distributed along the side of implant when the implant was surrounded by both regenerated bone and native type III bone. In summary, these data indicate that concentration of stress on the implant-regenerated bone interface depends on both the native bone quality surrounding the regenerated bone adjacent to implant and the load direction applied on the prosthesis.

The existing Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) and Cardiopulmonary bypass system(CPB) have been developed and applied to various devices according to their respective indications. However, due to the complicated configuration and difficult usage method, it causes inconvenience to users and there is a risk of an accident. Therefore, smart all-in-one cardiopulmonary circulation device is being developed recently. The smart all-in-one cardiopulmonary assist device consists of a blood pump for cardiopulmonary bypass, a blood oxidizer for cardiopulmonary bypass, a blood circuit for cardiopulmonary bypass, and an artificial cardiopulmonary device. It is an integrated cardiopulmonary bypass device that can be used for a variety of purposes such as emergency, intraoperative, post-operative intensive care, and long-term cardiopulmonary assist, combined with CPB used in open heart surgery and ECMO used when patient's cardiopulmonary function does not work normally. The smart all-in-one cardiopulmonary assist device does not exist as a standard and international standard applicable to advanced medical devices. Therefore, in this study, we will refer to the International Standard for Blood Components, the International Standard for Blood, the Guideline for Blood Products, and prepare applicable performance and safety guidelines to help quality control of medical devices, and contribute to the improvement of the health of people. The guideline, which is the result of conducted a survey of the method of safety and performance test, is based on the principle of all-in-one cardiopulmonary aiding device, related domestic foreign standards, the status of domestic and foreign patents, related literature, blood pump(ISO 18242), blood oxygenator (ISO 7199), and blood circuit (ISO 15676) for cardiopulmonary bypass.The items on blood safety are as follows: American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM F1841-97R17), and in the 2010 Food and Drug Administration's Safety Assessment Guidelines for Medical Assisted Circulatory Devices. In addition, after reviewing the guidelines drawn up through expert consultation bodies including manufacturers / importers, testing inspectors, academia, etc. the final guideline was established through revision and supplementation process. Therefore, we propose guidelines for evaluating the safety and performance of smart all-in-one cardiopulmonary assist devices in line with growing technology.

배경: 혈액 투석을 위한 투석로의 확보는 신부전증 환자의 치료에 필수적인 요소이지만, 여러 요소에 의해 투석로의 확보가 점점 어려워지고 있어서 인조 혈관의 사용 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 저자들은 동정맥루 조성술을 시행받은 환자를 대상으로 자가 혈관 및 인조 혈관의 개통률의 차이와 인조 혈관의 종류에 따른 개통률의 차이, 동반 질환이 동정맥루 개존에 미치는 영향 및 이와 연관하여 재수술이 필요했던 경우 등을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2000년 12월가지 고려대학교 구로병원 흥부외과에서 혈액투석을 위해 동정맥루 조성술을 시행한 186명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 대상 환자의 남녀 비는 99 : 87로 남자가 다소 많았고, 평균 연령은 54.37$\pm$12.89세이었으며, 대상 환자에서 시행한 전체 수술은 292건, 이 중 자가 혈관과 인조 혈관을 이용한 동정맥루 조성술이 각각 156과 116건이었다. 결과: 동정맥루의 1년 및 5년 개통률은 자가 혈관의 경우 각각 92.78$\pm$2.35%, 39.03$\pm$9.08%이었고, 인조 혈관의 경우는 각각 96.09$\pm$2.22%, 16.45$\pm$10.15%이었으나 두 군 사이의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 신부전증과 동반된 질환 중 가장 많은 빈도를 보인 고혈압과 당뇨, 그리고 두 가지를 모두 가지고 있던 환자의 동정맥루 평균 개통 기간은 각각 52.99$\pm$2.05개월, 52.70$\pm$4.24개월, 53.49$\pm$2.33개월로 이러한 질환을 가지지 않는 환자의 평균개통 기간인 48.12$\pm$2.05개월과 비교해 각 군 사이의 통계적 유의성은 없었고, 수술에 사용된 여러 종류의 인조 혈관들의 1년 및 3년 개통률 사이의 비교에서도 서로 간의 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 수술 후 합병증 및 재수술이 필요했던 이유는 주로 혈전이나 혈류 감소, 동맥류 형성 및 인조 혈관 감염 등이었고, 재수술이나 3차 수술 후의 개통률도 첫수술과 비교하여 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 절론 자가 혈관에 비해 인조 혈관을 이용한 동정맥루의 개통률도 우수하였으나, 사용된 인조 철관의 종류에 따른 개통률의 차이를 비교하기 위해서는 인조 혈관에 따른 더 많은 증례가 축적되어야 할 것이다. 한편 동반 질환은 동정맥루 개통률에 영향을 미치지 않았다.

기능적 단심증에 대한 Fontan 술식은 수술 방법에 많은 변형을 거치면서 그 임상 성적 또한 향상되어 왔다. 그럼에도 불구하고 추적과정 중에 발생하는 치명적인 합병증은 장기 성적에 많은 영향을 미친다고 할수 있다. 따라서 이러한 합병증에 대한 수술적 치료가 필요하며 빈도 또한 증가하고 있다. 대상 및 방법: 1988년 4월부터 20n년 1월까지 Fontan 수술 후에 발생한 합병증에 대한 수술적 치료를 받은 16명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 재수술 당시 평균 연령은 8.8$\pm$5.5년이었다. Fontan수술에 적용된 술식은 심방-폐동맥 연결술 및 완전 체정맥-폐동맥 연결술이 각각 8예로 완전 체정맥-폐동맥 연결술 중 5예는 심장내 외측터널, 3예는 심장외 외측터널을 시행하였다. 이 중 천공을 추가한 경우가 5예 있었다. 재수술의 적응증은 잔존 우좌단락 6예, 폐정맥 협착 3예, 심방 조동 3예, 방실판막 폐쇄부전 2예, Fontan 유출로의 협착 1예, 단백상실성 장병증이 1예 있었다. 결과: 조기 및 만기 사망이 각각 3예 있었다. 잔존 단락이 있었던 환자에서는 2예에서 단락 부위를 일차 봉합하였고 2예에서는 체정맥과 폐정맥을 분리하기 위한 심방내 중격을 재형성하였으며 2명의 환자에서는 심장내 외측통로 및 부분 양심실 교정술로 전환하였다. 폐정맥이나 Fontan유출로의 협착이 있었던 4명의 환자에서는 3예에서 협착 부위 확장술을 시행하였고 1예에서는 좌폐 전절제술을 시행하였다. 심방 조동이 발생한 3예는 모두 심방-폐동맥 연결술에서 심장내 외측터널로 술식을 전환하였다. 2예의 방실판막 폐쇄부전 환자는 기계 판막 치환술을 시행받았으며 단백소실성 장병증이 발생한 1예는 개흉술을 통해 대동맥-폐동맥 측부 혈행을 폐쇄하였다. 4명의 환자에서 부정맥 치료의 추가적인 방법으로 냉동 절제술을 동시에 시행하였다. 결론: Fontan수술 후에 발생하는 합병증은 치료가 어렵고 상당한 유병율 및 사망률을 가지고 있다. 그러나 Fontan 생리에 대한 보다 깊은 이해와 수술 술기의 발전은 Fontan 수술 자체뿐 아니라 그 합병증의 치료 가능성을 증대시켰다. 비록 모든 환자에서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻지는 못하였으나 이러한 환자에 대한 적절한 외과적 치료로 생존환자에서 증상의 완화 및 기능적 분류의 호전을 볼 수 있었다.

The medical care insurance system, being put into practice nearly for three years, seem to have brought about some considerable problems as serious for the government as to consider a revision of that system. As one of the most serious problems of present system, the treatment cost of insurance patients is so remarkably low in comparison with than of non-insurance cases that normal operation of hospitals is threatened and care services of low quality are induced. The researcher carried out this survey to analyze and bring to light several aspects of treatment cost of non-insurance patients as a material for a re-assessment of the cost of insurance cases which shows a a considerable difference in amount at the standpoint of hospitals with than of non-insurance cases and further, hoping the significant blind spot of present insurance system(that is, the absence of regulations' for cost assessment by patterns or types of health care treatment) will be mended in near future. The survey was carried out with the treatment invoice sheets of total 902 in-hospital Patients of a general hospital in Seoul during the period of the 2 nd quarter of the year(1979). Among total 902 patients, 694 cases were used for analysis, because those disease or syndromes shared by less than 10% of the patients were put aside before procession. The data were analyzed by kinds or types of diseases, demographic characteristics of patients, hospitalization patterns, types of nursing treatment, etc. The result of analysis was as follows 1. Among all the non-insurance cases, those who received one or more kinds of nursing treatment mounted up to 96. 7 ％. The invoice issue frequency per person was 7.2 times, while that frequency per day for a person was 0.8, : the treatment cosr per person was ￦22,650 while its daily average was ￦2,430, due to the average 9.3 in-hospital days per person. 2. As to the nursing treatment types by the demographic characteristics of patients and hospitalization patterns. a. The unit cost female patients was generally more expensive them that of males, and independent nursing service was more given than other types of treatment. As to age, higher age groups received independent nursing service most, while the youngest group received instrumental and integrated nursing services. b. As to room grade, the unit cost of I.C.U. cases was the highest : and the cast of private room patients was higher than that of public room patients. By in-hospital days, the curve of function showed L. type : that is, the longer stay, the lower function. 3. State of treatment types by kinds of disease were ; a. Dependent nursing service showed comparatively high availability in surgical and neurologic disease and independent nursing service was most received by medical, obstetrical and urological patients, while instrumental and integrated services were most available for respiratory disease and obstetrical and neurologic diseases next. b. The invoice issue frequency per day for a patient was highest in obstetrical disease 3.8 times, and the unit cost(per one invoice sheet) was also highest in obstertrical disease(￦10,880) and next in neurologic cases(￦ 4,690 ). 4. As to the pertained departments. a. Cost amount per person was highest in department of Psychiatries daily cost was highest in obstetrical cases : while the invoice issue frequency was highest in obstetrics and next in pediatrics. b. In departments in need of surgical operation, dependent nursing care was highly availabl : while in internal medicine and obstetrics, independent service was higher. Psychiatrics showed the highest the of integrate nursing while pediatrics and obstetrics higher of instrumental services. The variation co-efficien of treatment cost came out to be relatively in high in special surgery, opthalmology and internal medicine. 5. State of treatment cost by types of nursing behavior was. a. The average frequency of invoice issue was 3.5 (times). Among the type four types of treatment, instrumetal service (4.3) and independent nursing behavior(3.9) showed higher frequency than average respectively. But as to unit cost (per invoice). dependent (￦5,200) and integrated (￦5,340) nursing care services were higher than average and considerably higher than the other two types. b. In repect patient distribution. independent nursing behavior(80.3% ) was the highest and depend ent nursing (31.7% ) the lowest. The variation co-efficient of treatment cost appeared highest in dependent nursing be havior as a whole, and among that, doctor's diagnosis showed the highest coefficient value (100.7). In conclusion, the variaty of treatment cost(treatment itself ) by various characteristics and treatment types pro- that treatment various sort of patients and treatment cost of various types of nursing behavior cannot be uniform. Therefore, to attain the equalization of health care service and its cost both for insurant and non-insurant patients, a more specific provision for assessment of cost should be added to the present medical care insurance system and, in addition, the cost of nursing treatment is desired to be inserted into the treatment invoice.

순구개열은 악안면 선천성 기형 중에서 발생율이 가장 높으며, 여러 선학들의 조사연구에 의하면 순구개열의 발생빈도가 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 순구개열 환자의 치료에서 중요한 부분을 담당하는 교정과의 순구개열환자의 내원동향에 관한 역학조사가 필요하다고 생각된다. 이에 저자들은 서울대학교병원 교정과에 내원한 순구개열 교정환자들의 연도별, 종류별, 성별, 연령별, Angle씨 부정교합군별 분포에 따른 역학적 특성과 국내병원에서의 수술시기 등의 치료현황에 대한 임상자료 등을 파악하고, 이를 순구개열 환자의 교정 진단 및 치료계획 수립에 중요한 기초자료로 사용하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 1988년 3월 1일부터 1999년 2월 28일까지 서울대학교병원 교정과에 내원한 순구개열 환자(총 250명)와 그 부모들을 대상으로 한 초진시의 문진, 시진을 통하여 기록한 교정 chart및 cleft chart내용, X-tay film과 모형을 대상으로 조사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 본 병원 교정과에 내원한 순구개열 환자의 수는 1988년부터 1990년까지 증가한 후 1992년까지 감소추세를 보였고, 1993년부터 1996년까지 비교적 일정한 추세를 보이다가 1997년 이후 현저한 증가 추세를 보였다. 2. 내원한 환자를 순구개열의 종류에 따라 조사한 결과 구순열:구순치조열:구개열:구순구개열이 7.6:19.2:9.6:63.6의 비율을 보였다. 편측 대 양측의 발생빈도는 구순열은 79:21, 구순치조열은 77:23,구순구개열은 75.5:24.5으로서 편측의 발생빈도가 양측에 비해서 높았다. 그리고 편측성에서 좌, 우측간의 발생빈도는 구순열이 53.3:46.7, 구순치조열이 59.5:40.5, 구순구개열이 59.2:40.8 으로서 좌측의 발생빈도가 우측에 비해서 높았다. 3. 순구개열의 남:여 발생빈도는 구순열은 57.9:42.1, 구순치조열은 68.8:31.2, 구순구개열은 76.1:23.9 로서 남자의 발생빈도가 여자에 비해서 높았다. 그러나 구개열에서는 41.7:58.3으로서 여자의 발생빈도가 남자에 비해서 높게 나타났다. 4. 내원 환자를 연령군 별로 조사한 결과 7-12세 군이 $52\%$로서 압도적으로 많았고, 0-6세 군 ($20.4\%$), 13-18세 군($17.2\%$), 18세 이상 군 ($10.4\%$)의 순이었다. 5. 구순열의 봉합수술시기로는 0-3개월 군이 $60.3\%$로서 가장 많았고, 4-6개월 군이 $17.9\%$로 두 번째였다. 6. 구개열의 봉합수술시기로는 1-2세군이 $31.7\%$로 가장 많았고, 0-1세군은 $25.6\%$, 2-3세군이 $12.1\%$였다. 구개 및 상악 성장이 어느 정도 이루어진 5세 이상 군은 $11.6\%$를 차지하였다.7. 구순 반흔 제거수술시기로는 4-6세군 ($27.5\%$), 6-8세군 ($19.6\%$), 2-4세군 ($13.7\%$)이 $60\%$이상을 차지하여 초등학교 취학 전에 구순의 반흔을 제거하려 함을 알 수 있었다. 8. 비변형 교정수술시기로는 0-2세군 ($7.1\%$), 2-4세군 ($14.3\%$), 4-6세군 ($21.4\%$), 6-8세군 ($14.3\%$)으로 초등학교 취학이전이 $57.1\%$로서 최근의 조기 치료경향을 반영하는 것으로 보인다. 9. 인두피판술은 평균 6세에 시행되었으며, 수술 시행 시기별의 차이를 보이지 않고 고른 분포를 보였다. 10. 내원한 환자를 순구개열 종류와 Angle씨 분류법에 의해 조사한 결과, 구순열군은 I급이 가장 많았고 III, II 급의 순이었으며, 구순치조열, 구개열, 구순구개열군은 III급이 가장 많았고, I, II 급의 순이었다. 그리고 III급의 발생빈도의 비율차이는 구순치조열은 $61.7\%$, 구개열은 $73.9\%$, 구순구개열군에서 $79.3\%$로서 구순구개열에서 압도적으로 III급의 발생빈도가 높게 나타났다. 11. 모든 연령군에서 III급 부정교합의 빈도가 가장 많아서($72.7\%$) 전치부의 반대교합이 주된 내원 동기가 됨을 간접적으로 알 수 있었다.
