5.The Analysis of Actual Condition for Implementation of Dental Clinic Infection Prevention Standards in the Hospital.
Korean Journal of Nosocomial Infection Control 2011;16(2):37-44
BACKGROUND: The purpose of study to present the basic data for enhancing the performance level of the dental clinic infection prevention through the actual condition of the implementation for dental treatment infection prevention aimed at dental hygienists in each hospital. METHODS: We carried out a survey targeting 69 dental hygienists in the dental college hospital, 42 in the dentist of the Dentistry in General Hospital, 51 in the dental clinic and 38 in the dentist's office and the medical institutions surveyed, and we used frequency analysis and chi-square analysis by using SPSS (Ver. 18.0). RESULTS: The experiences wounded in the body by sharp instruments or needles contaminated with patients' blood or saliva were on average in 86.5% of the dental hygienists, and people who disinfected the wound with disinfectants after washing their own hands and squeezing blood as the method to fight the wound was 73.4%. The dental clinic was the highest in case of the rate of wearing gloves, and the dental clinic was the highest in the case of the rate of wearing a mask. The use of the liquid soap containing antimicrobial was the highest as 28.0% in the dental college hospital in case of 'the cleanser to be used for washing their own hands'. In the multiple response for dental treatment mechanical equipment management apparatus and the actual condition to be equipped with medicines and the survey in sterilization, Povidone was the highest as 28% in the dental college, and surface disinfectants were being used in some hospitals. CONCLUSION: To prevent the infection in the consultation room, dental hygienists should thoroughly recognize Dental Treatment Infection Prevention Standards, and the research measures or administrative support of the government and the organs concerned is needed a lot.

6.Rhiltral Reconstruction in Facial Burn Scars using Fenestrated Auricular Composite Graft.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(5):1062-1068
The surgical correction of postburn nose and lips deformities still remains a difficult task domain to be done by plastic surgery. Consequently, the performance of autogenous cartilage graft and ear cartilage graft to maintain a better philtral form were found to raise the problem of a defect in the unnatural form due to consecutive tension in the region. Recently, focus had been placed on composite graft, including auricular cartilage, to obtain a unique dimple in the philtrum, and concurrently with this, part of its natural form has been acknowledged. However, composite graft on scar beds with poor circulation on the recipient site dose not represent safe survival, has increased risk allotment, which laeds to difficult application. From Jan. 1992 to Dec. 1998, the authors have experienced auricular composite graft in 15 patients who had a defect on the philtrum due to postburn scar contractures. As types of this operation, in method I, the subcutaneous pocket is made at the midline of the upper lip. The next step is cartilage insertion into subcutaneous tissue. The cartilage graft is fixed to be overlying skin by the bolus sutures. In Method II, the recipient site is excavated by some excision of the soft tissue in the central upper lip after scar tissue excision. The obtained auricular skin composite graft is placed and fixed to the philtral area. In Method III the auricular skin composite graft is harvested, and 2 or more 2mm-sized multiple holes are made along the midline of cartilage. Then composite graft is fixed to the defects of philtrum. The elongated portion of the distal tip of cartilage is embedded into the vermilion tubercle for sprouting and fullness. The most effective method was Method III, which enhanced the survival of auricular cartilage graft and its overlying skin, by trimming the margin of grafts, and enhancement of the connecting vessels through fenestrated holes of cartilage between the recipient site and composite graft. The authors hereby report the results of the present study along with study findings based on literature surveys.

7.Analysis and Treatment of Postburn Hand Deformities Durn to Burn Scar Contracures in Children.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(4):567-574
Though proper management of hand burns in children is provided, hypertrophic scars frequently cause various hand deformities or functional disturbances in growing hands. When correction principles have not been observed for the long term, contraction of the skin, tendon and joints has a serious influence on hand deformities and bone change occur in growing children and second, to determine when is the proper operative time to minimize hand deformities and recurrences. We reviewed 107 hands in 103 admitted pediatric patients who had postburn hands deformities by scar contracture. The analysis of severity of hand deformities was evaluated by assessment of our hospital scale. According to these data, we performed the operations and compared the final results. The results were as follows: The types of burn hand deformities among 107 involved hands of 103 patients included flexion contracture (39.3%), syndactyly (29.9%), extension contracture (10.3%), Boutonniere deformity (9.3%), claw hand deformity (5.6%), severe hypertrophic scar (3.7%), swan neck deformity (0.9%), and loss of digit (1.9%) etc. On 98 preoperative x-ray examinations, bone changes were common, including angular deformity (19.4%), epiphyseal plate loss(18.4%), osteoporosis (17.3%), bony erosion (17.3%), joint change (15.3%), and ankylosis (9.2%). Thus, early correction of postburn hand deformities is imperative in pediatric patients, even though there is a greater chance of secondary operation due to immature scars. All patients were operated on by our proposed protocol and postoperative results showed greatly improved finger joint motion than before. We concluded that early correction of Grade III to V postburn hand deformities is mandatory in rapidly growing pediatric patients.

Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rate entity. A neonate was seen with cyanosis and tachypnea. There was a grade 4/6 systolic murmur along the left sternal border. The chest X-ray showed a round mass shadow in the left parahilar region. Echocardiogram showed large Ventricular Septal Defect and mild Pulmonary Stenosis. The cardiac angiogram showed giant aneurysm of pulmonary artery. Surgical intervention was advised. However, the patient was discharged against operative plan. And the patient died two weeks later.

10.Cardiorenal syndrome
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2020;63(1):20-29
To maintain homeostasis of the cardiovascular system, the heart and kidney act bidirectionally. Therefore, acute or chronic dysfunction of one organ can cause dysfunction in the other. This phenomenon is characterized as cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Concurrent dysfunction of the heart and kidney adversely affects one another and eventually worsens patient outcomes through a vicious cycle. Although a CRS classification system has been proposed, the underlying pathophysiology is multifactorial and clinical access continues to be difficult. Although several therapies, including agents that target the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, have been utilized, there is not enough evidence to demonstrate their effectiveness for CRS. Thus, more effort should be made to optimize the diagnosis and treatment strategies for CRS patients. This review will introduce CRS as it is currently understood, discuss the pathophysiology, and examine management strategies.
