  • Background: We aimed to investigate the characteristics of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in adolescents and to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of PSP and air pollutants. Methods: Data pertaining to age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, initial pneumothorax volume, presence of bullae, treatment methods, and city of residence were retrospectively obtained from January 2010 to December 2014. We investigated the association between short-term exposure to air pollutants (SO2, NO2, O3, CO, and PM10) and the occurrence of PSP using a case-crossover design with conditional logistic regression. Results: We collected information from 598 patients who were admitted for PSP, with a mean follow-up duration of 62.9 months. The majority (91.1%) of the patients were male. In the case-crossover design, conditional logistic regression showed that no air pollutant was associated with the occurrence of pneumothorax. The results were consistent across all city subgroups (Anyang, Gunpo, Uiwang, and Gwacheon). Conclusion: In our study, the incidence rate of pneumothorax was 153.8 per 100,000 person-years in male adolescents and 16.7 per 100,000 person-years in female adolescents. The case-crossover design showed that PSP in adolescents is unlikely to be related to air pollution.

  • Comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to determine 1) selected risk factors and its impact that affect pregnancy outcome such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and substance abuse 2) these factors can facilitate future strategies for health promotion and prevention for both pregnant women and fetus. Review of literature were extracted from searching MEDLINE(1966 - Oct. 2000). CINAHL (1982 - Oct. 2000) and the domestic literature. The following factors were identified: 1. The effects of risk behaviors on pregnancy. ${\cdot}$Maternal smoking was associated with the occurrence of premature or LBW delivery, fetal growth retardation, extremities defects, heart defects and sudden infant death syndrome. ${\cdot}$Maternal alcohol consumption was associated with spontaneous abortion, premature or LBW delivery, morphologic/neurologic problems, especially fetal alcohol syndrome. ${\cdot}$Heroin was associated with withdrawal after birth in which were born to heroine addicts for gestational age and lung maturation in animal studies. ${\cdot}$Cocaine was associated with spontaneous abortion, abruptio placenta and a poor response to environmental stimuli. ${\cdot}$So far, the effects of caffeine on pregnancy was controversial, but severe caffeine consumption was associated with premature or LBW delivery, spontaneous abortion, still birth and dystocia. 2. Intervention methods and its effects identified were as follows ${\cdot}$Conducted intervention for smoking, alcohol and drug consumption were single or combined. ${\cdot}$Intervention methods were counseling, phone contact, mailing, use of educational videotape, booklet, support person and alternatives such as nicotine patch. ${\cdot}$The interventions increased the rates of smoking cessation during pregnancy and awareness of the risk of drug consumption, and decreased amount of alcohol consumption. ${\cdot}$The intervention outcome found positive effect on birth weight and length. 3. Our recommendations were as follows ${\cdot}$The personal and social cognition should be enhanced through education and the mass media. ${\cdot}$It's necessary to educate and give information of preconceptional care, planned pregnancy and early prenatal care for optimal pregnancy outcome. ${\cdot}$It's necessary to develop comprehensive assessment tool which is reliable and valid on smoking, alcohol consumption and substance abuse to identify supportive or interventional program.

  • This study was conducted to provide a foundation for housewife-consumer education programs appropriate in the information society. For this purpose, the authors reviewed existing literature, analysed consumer counseling cases, and conducted focus group interviews. The need for housewife-consumer education was illustrated, and desirable educational contents and methods were proposed. The existing housewife-consumer education programs did not work effectively because the contents were too general, and mostly structured with non-interactive one-way lectures. More effective programs should be designed to accomodate the educational purpose and contents which fitted with the specific needs of housewives as the representatives of the family consumer units. It should also take the family life cycle stages into consideration. The education programs would work better when they were oriented more toward actively participating, locally-based spontaneous small-groups.

  • Rupture of the esophagus is an uncommon condition that can be a formidable challenge to treat. Unless early treatment is applied, life-threatening complications, such as mediastinitis, sepsis, occurs and continue to be associated with a mortality rate of more than 20%. Definitive repair of esophageal perforation is considered the preferred treatment in the past. In the present study, conservative treatment acquired a good results by help of the development of antibiotics and nutritional supportive methods. Iatrogenic causes constituted most of the injuries, followed by external trauma, spontaneous, ingested foreign bodies, and malignancy. The incidence of perforation following ingestion of foreign bodies is very rare, so recommendations regarding treatment remain controversial. We analyzed the course of 31 patients with esophageal perforation by foreign bodies, concentrating on the diagnostic & treatment delay and methods of treatment, complications.

  • TFT-LCD simulator, PDAST(Pixel Design Array Simulation Tool) could simulate the effect of the variation on the pixel characteristics. Since feed-through voltage in TFT-LCD can be a serious problem to pixel voltage characteristics, it should be compensated. It is applicable to various kinds of TFT-LCDs and can be used to calculate the spontaneous part of common electrode voltage accurately. Also, PDAST can estimate pixel voltage according to various inversion methods. It allows high-speed calculation and the information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

  • 연구배경: 이탈의 방법은 통상적으로 자가호흡 관찰, IMV, PSV등이 행해지고 있지만, 이중 어떤 방법이 다른 것보다 우수하다는 결론은 없다. 자가호흡관찰에 의한 이탈에는 주로 T-tube를 이용하는 방법이 이용되는데, high flow로 산소를 공급하는 시스템이 필요하다. 이탈 후에는 기도유지가 어렵거나 지속적인 흡입치료가 필요한 경우를 제외하고는 발관을 하는 것이 호흡일을 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이는 기관내 튜브가 그 내경에 따라 다양하지만 정상 기도저항(< $2cmH_2O/L/sec$)보다 훨씬 더 높은 기도저항을 유발하기 때문이다. 이에 저자들은 기관내 튜브를 통한 산소공급으로 1시간 자가호흡관찰 후 이탈 및 발관을 동시에 시행하는 방법의 임상적 유용성을 보고하고자 한다. 방법: 대상은 1993년 6월부터 1994년 6월까지 호흡부전으로 기계적 호흡치료를 받은 환자들이며, 이탈시도의 기준은 첫째, 호흡부전을 초래한 기저질환이 호전되고, 둘째, 생명증후들이 안정한 상태로 유지되며, 셋째, $FiO_2$ 0.4 이하에서 동맥혈 가스분석상 산소분압이 55mmHg 이상인 경우로 하였다. 55명 중 위의 이탈기준을 만족시키는 18명의 환자의 평균 연령은 $51.5{\pm}17.5$세이며, 남녀비는 1:1 이였고, 총 기계호흡시간은 38시간에서 341시간의 범위(평균 $105.9{\pm}83.4$시간)를 보였다. 이탈방법은 이탈기준을 만족시키는 대상환자에서 기관내 튜브를 통해 분당 6L의 산소를 공급하고 1시간 367동안 이탈시킨 상태에서 의사가 환자 옆에서 이학적 소견 및 활력징후를 관찰하고, 30분과 60분 후에 각각 동맥혈 가스분석을 시행했다. 이 첫 1시간동안 환자의 전신상태, 호흡횟수, 맥박수 및 동맥혈가스분석등을 모두 고려하여 청색증, 발한, 심한 빈맥이나 고혈압, 혈압저하, 늑간의 내함, 기이호흡등이 나타나지 않고, 산소분압이 55~70mmHg 정도로 유지될 경우 일단 이탈성공이 기능하다고 판단하였다. 그리고, 다시 인공호흡기를 연결하여 1~2시간 동안 환자를 안정시킨 후, 최종 이탈과 발관은 환자에게 물어보아서 자가호흡을 할수 있다고 의사를 표현한 경우 동시에 이탈과 발관을 시행하도록 하였다. 결과: 1) 기계적 호흡치료를 받았던 55명 중 위의 이탈기준을 만족시키는 18명의 환자에게 총19회의 이탈을 시도하여 16회가 성공해 84.2% 성공율을 보였으며, 1명은 이탈 실패 후 2번째 이탈시도시 성공하였다. 2) 호흡부전의 원인별로는 만성폐쇄성 호흡기질환 환자 14명 중 8명에서 이탈시도의 기준을 만족시켰고, 폐혈증은 21명 중 4명, 폐부종은 6명 중 3명, 농약중독은 6명 중 1명, 속립성결핵은 3명 중 1명, 흡인성 폐렴은 5명 중 1명에서 이탈시도가 가능하였다. 3) 이탈성공군과 이탈실패군의 이탈 전후 분당 호흡 횟수의 변화를 보면, 성공군에서는 1예에서 이탈 후 30분에 분당 호흡횟수가 30회에 이른 후 감소한 것을 제외하고는 나머지 전례에서 분당 호흡횟수가 30회 미만이데 반해, 실패군에서는 모두 30회 이상의 분당 호흡 횟수를 보이고 지속적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였고, 이탈전후 산소분압의 변화를 보면 실패군의 1예를 제외하고는 나머지 전례에서 산소분압이 55mmHg 이상으로 유지되었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 기관내 튜브를 통한 산소공급으로 1시간 자가호흡관찰 후 이탈 및 발관을 동시에 시행하는 방법은 상당히 높은 이탈 성공율을 보이는, 쉽고 효율적인 방법이며 동시에 이탈과 발관을 시행하여도 문제가 있는 경우는 없었다.

  • Background: Recently, single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been proposed as an alternative to the conventional three-port VATS for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). The aim of this study is to evaluate the early outcomes of the single-port VATS for PSP. Methods: VATS was performed for PSP in 52 patients from March 2012 to March 2013. We reviewed the medical records of these 52 patients, retrospectively. Nineteen patients underwent the conventional three-port VATS (three-port group) and 33 patients underwent the single-port VATS (single-port group). Both groups were compared according to the operation time, number of wedge resections, amount of chest tube drainage during the first 24 hours after surgery, length of chest tube drainage, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain score, and postoperative paresthesia. Results: There was no difference in patient characteristics between the two groups. There was no difference in the number of wedge resections, operation time, or amount of drainage between the two groups. The mean lengths of chest tube drainage and hospital stay were shorter in the single-port group than in the three-port group. Further, there was less postoperative pain and paresthesia in the single-port group than in the three-port group. These differences were statistically significant. The mean size of the surgical wound was 2.10 cm (range, 1.6 to 3.0 cm) in the single-port group. Conclusion: Single-port VATS for PSP had many advantages in terms of the lengths of chest tube drainage and hospital stay, postoperative pain, and paresthesia. Single-port VATS is a feasible technique for PSP as an alternative to the conventional three-port VATS in well-selected patients.

  • Purpose : The purpose of this study was to reveal some factors of ROSC & survival for cardiac arrests from sport & leisure activities(CASLs). Methods : A retrospective study of the 1,341 out of hospital cardiac arrests(OHCAs) treated by EMS in Gyeonggi Provincial Fire and Disaster Headquarters from January to December in 2008 was conducted. The primary end-point was admission to emergency room. To clarify the factors through comparison of CASLs(n=58) with ROSCs & survivals(n=58), Answer Tree analysis for data mining with the CHAID algorithm was performed and alpha was set at .05. Mean, median, and percentile of time intervals, distances, and age on the 58 CASLs, 75 ROSCs, and 27 survivals(patients admitted to emergency room) were analysed. Results : Fourteen CASLs(24.1%), 41 ROSCs(54.7%), 16 survivals(59.3%) were treated with CPR within 5 min., and only 2 CASLs(3.4%), 11 ROSCs(14.7%), 10 survivals(37.0%) were treated with defilbrillation within 10 min. from arrest. If time recording from arrest to defilbrillation, the patients were classified 81.0%($X^2=9.83$, p=.005) into ROSCs & survivals. And the patients with no history, 100.0%($X^2=5.44$, p=.020). The other patients with no intention, 87.5%($X^2=7.00$, p=.024). Whereas the other patients with intention, treated with CPR after 4 min. from arrest were classified 67.2%($X^2=3.99$, p=.046) into CASLs. Conclusion : CPR within 4 minutes was the most important factor that discriminates between CASLs and ROSCs & survivals to record cardiac arrests-defilbrillation time. CPR within 4 min. from arrest, no history, and no intention were factors for improved ROSC & survival.
