Severe cardiac injury due to nonpenetrating blunt chest trauma is not uncommon, but survival to reach the hospital is rare. Successful management of fatal cardiac rupture depends on the high suspicion and on the prompt exploration. In the patient presented, the interatrial septal rupture was found associated with the right atrial rupture and the patient was successfully treated under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Although many types of cardiac rupture cases survived have been reported in the literature, we have been unable to find the interatrial septal rupture case like us. We would therefore like to report our experience with surgical repair of nonpenetrating rupture of right atrium and interatrial septum.

Effective relief of dysphagia in unresectable esophageal cancer patients not only prolong survival but also is prerequisite for other treatment modalities.We tried surgical resection in 4 patients who had unresectable esophageal cancer,managed initially with esophageal prosthesis then followed by chemotherapy with good response. Curative resection was possible in 2 patients and palliative resection in one and exploration only in one case.Curatively resected patients are alive without recurrence for 57 months,8 months,each.Other non-curatively resected patients died after 10 months,7 months. Above results suggest that initial esophageal prosthesis to relieve dysphagia followed by chemotherapy in unresectable esophageal cancer may provide another chances for curative resection that promise better survival and need more clinical experience and trial.

The dilated haustra of colon after esophagocolostomy was a rare complications, but it may be extremely dangerous because of the potential for perforation of the thin- walled esophageal substitute. Therefore a prompt surgical correction of the lesion should be done. The conventional surgical exploration and resection of the lesion site was very difficult. The use of the ends GIA to eliminate the dilated haustra of colon was simple and safe method and the postoperative results were good. We report a case of experience and methods.

Brachial plexus injury is a potential complication of a brachial plexus block or vessel puncture. It results from direct needle trauma, neurotoxicity of injection agents and hematoma formation. The neurological presentation may range from minor transient pain to severe sensory disturbance or motor loss with poor recovery. The management includes conservative treatment and surgical exploration. Especially if a hematoma forms, it should be removed promptly. Comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and adept skills are crucial to avoid nerve injuries. Whenever possible, the patient should not be heavily sedated and should be encouraged to immediately inform the doctor of any experience of numbness/paresthesia during the nerve block or vessel puncture.

In this paper, we employ a dynamics modeling method for investigating a multi-body dynamics system of semi-submersible autonomous underwater vehicles consisting of a towing vehicle operated near the water surface, a tow cable, and a towfish. The towfish, which is towed by a marine cable for the purposes of exploration or mine hunting, is modeled with a Six-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) equation of motion that reflects its hydrodynamics characteristics. The towing cable, which can experience large displacements and deformations, is modeled using an absolute nodal coordinate formulation. To reflect the hydrodynamic characteristics of the cable during motion, the hydrodynamic force due to added mass and the drag force are imposed. To verify the completeness of the modeling, a few simple numerical simulations were conducted, and the results confirm the physical plausibility of the model.

Among the building types in which behavioral issues play, the largest role are institutional environments. Such setting share a number of important characteristics ; they serve specific population (e.g. the ill, the elderly , '||'&'||' inmates) : they are directed toward specific social behavioral objectives(e.g medical care, education , '||'&'||' rehabilitation); and they are "Total institution" in which residents spend all of there time. The basic concepts and theories of environment-behavior studies are of direct relevance in understanding such social institutions. In this study, I have examined the relationships between waiting and the specific conditions of the hospital experience. More specifically, this is a study of visitors (outpatient) within the context of the hospital , and the physical setting designated for their use in the outpatient waiting room. Environment behavior studies, with its commitment to individual behavior and the physical environment might well be a particularly way by which a study of waiting rooms can demonstrate the power of this approach and its integrative among disciplines.

The objectives of the current study are on the practical use of geoboard in an elementary school class. To do this, we first investigate how come geoboard is significant in a practical use. Second, we present an example of practical use of geoboard connecting with the analysis of the 7th curriculum. Third, we investigate the results of geoboard which is applied to elementary school class. The results of this research are as follows: First, the instruction of using geoboard can give an interest and curiosity to all students. Second, right triangle, rectangle, square and so on can be easily constructed because geoboard is linked by dots. Third, by constructing figures on geoboard and comparing figures which is made by themselves, students could better understand the concept of figures rather than the explanation of teacher. fourth, students can be improved the ability of problem solving and spatial sense by providing experience for exploration. Fifth, students need not to have anxiety for error because geoband is used and so can be corrected easily.

Using a qualitative method, this paper described briefly the well-being-oriented consumers consciousness toward sustainability concept. The paper identified the major obstacles facing well-being society as evidenced by consumers own experiences for consuming products which are meet the necessity for environmental preservation. Over seventy percent of respondents who had a experience consuming the sustainable products said that they consumed it for themselves and their family's health of all things. Beside their interests about health, they made mention of the safety of sustainable products, high quality of sustainable products, to preserve our environment, confidence in sustainable products, encouragement from others, and curiosity for sustainable products. The respondents who did not consume the sustainable products argued that high price of sustainable products, genuineness of sustainable products, lack of information about sustainable products, unconcern about sustainable products, and difficulty to access to sustainable products were not allowed them from consuming the sustainable products.

Purpose: People must express their feelings and thoughts to maintain mental health and stability. Expressing one's emotions, experiences, and thoughts in writing relieves inner feelings, promotes self-exploration, and improves individual well-being, resulting in a pleasant state on physical, mental, and social levels. This study aims to reveal the learning experiences of university students who participated in a self-expressive writing course to improve their well-being. Method: To explore the learning experiences of university students who took a self-expressive writing course, this study used qualitative research methods to analyze the students' written reflection notes. Results: Self-expressive writing was found to resolve university students' negative emotions, regulate their emotions, improve their self-reflection and self-awareness, contributing to their problem-solving skills and ability to set new goals, and strengthen their social communication. The meaning of this class experience can be summarized as healing, awareness, reflection, change, and growth. Conclusion: The results of this study provide concrete data on expressive writing classes and are valuable when designing the writing programs.

This study has verified the process of helping actors recognize their sexual problems linked to sexual violence cases through early sexual experience history, and exploring and insighting the stuck feelings of sexual violence actors through psychodrama, which focuses on expressing behavior and emotions. The research questions were divided into sexual violence cases and perceptions of actors, actual insights through psychodrama, and dealt with past biblical history related to actors' events and events, exploration of childhood trauma, and insights and changes in emotions through psychodrama. The results from the study are as follows. First, they showed low self-understanding levels and frequent use of defense mechanisms against sexual violence cases in an environment related to cases involving sexual offenders, and were aware of the problematic factors affecting the cases in the course of their daily lives, but did not take them seriously. Second, there were many distorted masculinity and adult sites related to participants' biblical experience history. In the early experience of sexual activity, it was often viewed as a sexual object rather than an emotional exchange with a lover, and the contents of the initial Bible experience were linked to actual sexual violence cases committed by participants. Third, childhood trauma of participants through psychodrama led to rapidly changing family circumstances and abuse by fathers. Fourth, the actual content of emotions represented by anger in the early stages of psychodrama is meaningful in that it revealed the process of sadness, pain, regret and longing for a departing mother leading to objective insight into emotions through the catharsis process.
