A study was carried out from March 2002 to May 2005 at Tu Du hospital included 230 patients with infertility due to distal tubal occlusion and adnexal adhesion to investigate some factors relating to infertility. The results showed that there were only two factors of married and infertility duration that related statistic significantly to tubal damage (p=0.000 and p=0.014, respectively). Therefore, the prevention for risk factors causing pelvic infection is important, and couples with infertility should be diagnosed and treated early

A study on the application of method of ovaritubal ligation was carried out in Hai Duong, Hoa Binh, Quang Ninh, Binh Dinh, Dac Lac, Dong Nai and Can Tho provinces. Each province was randomly selected 3 district and each district was randomly selected 5-10 commune. Results have shown that there are 3046 women used of the female sterilization from 1993 -1998 who participated to an interview, the rate of fail: 0.92%, the complications after sterilization: 9.8%, common complication: abdominal pain. rate of needs for recovering after sterilization: 2.9%.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess central supply room nurses' knowledge on and educational needs for the sterilization process. METHODS: The participants were 88 nurses working at central supply rooms of hospitals in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeong-nam. From August to September 2014, knowledge and educational needs of the sterilization process were measured by using self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t test or analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffe test, and repeated-measures ANOVA with the SPSS 21.0 program. RESULTS: The mean score for knowledge on the sterilization process was 39.58 out of 50 points and was highest in keeping sterilization (8.94 out of 10 points) and lowest in packing sterilization (6.82 out of 10 points). The mean score for knowledge was significantly higher in the nurses with postgraduate studies (F=3.35, P=0.040), in those with internal training (t=2.03, P=0.045), with three or more internal trainings (F=9.72, P<0.001), with external training (t=3.48, P=.001), with two or more external trainings (F=8.40, P=0.001), and in those working in hospitals with 700 beds or more (F=15.88, P<0.001). The mean score for educational need was 4.06 out of 5 points, ranging from 3.99 to 4.12 points. It was significantly higher in nurses aged 40 years and older (F=4.28, P=0.017) and in those working in hospitals with 700 beds or more (F=4.82, P=0.010). CONCLUSION: Nurses working in central supply rooms need education on the sterilization process. We recommend the development of a standardized textbook and an educational program based on the results of this study.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of two different styles of mechanical implant torque wrenches before and after sterilization and repeated use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty new spring-style and friction-style mechanical implant torque wrenches from five different manufacturers were selected as subjects of study and assessed in terms of accuracy. Three manufacturers produced, spring-style (Dio, Neobiotech, Osstem) torque wrenches, and other three manufactures produced friction-style (Dentium, Osstem, Shinhung) torque wrenches. The procedure of target torque measurement was performed 10 times for each device and a digital torque gauge (MGT-12, Mark-10 Corp, USA) was used to record the measurements. All torque wrenches were used repeatedly for 20 times and then sterilized. This whole procedure was repeated 100 times and all torque wrenches were retested. The collected data was analyzed using a SPSS Statistics Analysis program to evaluate the accuracy of the torque wrenches and Mann-Whitney-U test was used for a comparative analysis. RESULTS: After sterilization and repeated use procedure, results did not show any significant difference between error values in the spring-style torque wrench group. However, the results demonstrated an increase in error values within the friction-style torque wrench group (P<.05). CONCLUSION: There was no difference between the accuracy of new spring-style torque wrenches before and after 100 cycles of sterilization and repeated use (P>.05). There was significant difference between the accuracy of new friction-style torque wrenches before and after 100 cycles of sterilization and repeated use (P<.05). Within the limitation of this study, spring-style torque wrenches were more accurate than friction-style torque wrenches in delivering target torque values.
