PURPOSE: Laparoscopic approaches to the anterior abdominal wall are difficult because of the inherent limitations of laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A 25-year-old young female visited to our hospital with an incidentally-found palpable abdominal mass. Computed tomography revealed a 7-cm round enhancing mass arising from the left posterior rectus sheath. The patient underwent laparoscopic excision of the inner mass arising from the anterior abdominal wall. RESULTS: The operation lasted for 45 minutes and there was no measurable bleeding during the procedure. Pathological assessment revealed that the tumor was a DTF 7.0 cm in size. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day in good condition, and is currently being followed on a routine basis for surveillance without adjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic approach for the anterior abdominal wall tumor could be feasible in select patients. This minimally-invasive approach helps to ensure good cosmetic outcomes and quality of life.

PURPOSE: To correlate the findings of perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) with clinical outcomes in patients with acute lacunar infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients (7 males and 4 females) with acute lacunar infarction who were examined within 50 (mean, 29) hours of the onset of symptoms underwent conventional MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and PWI. Gadolinium (0.2 mmol/kg) was injected at a rate of 2 ml/sec, and PWI was performed using a gradient-echo EPI pulse sequence and the following parameters: TR/TE, 2000/60; flip angle, 90 degree; matrix size, 128X128. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) maps were derived from gadolinium bolus perfusion-weighted images where rCBV ratios between infarcted areas were detected by DWI, and contralateral control areas were obtained. In each case, the resulting rCBV ratio at a lesion site was compared with the clinical outcome determined on the basis of the difference between National Institute Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at admission and discharge. RESULTS: With the aid of the time-intensity curve obtained at PWI, the rCBV maps revealed a hypoperfused area in 10 of 11 patients, and there was positive correlation (r=0.81) with clinical outcome. CONCLUSION: Although PWI has a lower detection rate than DWI, it may be a useful modality for helping determine prognosis in cases of acute lacunar infarction.

In 2008, Korea has enacted new ordinances about the role of estheticians, but this law can be interpreted ambiguously, restricting hiring of estheticians in medical clinics. The purpose of the study is to obtain information about medical-esthetic systems in other countries. We have taken a survey of this object from 30 OECD & Asian countries, and the questionnaires returned from a total of 22 countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Singapore, Israel, and Thailand), were used for the final analysis. The results are summarized as follows. In most countries, estheticians working independently deal with only healthy, normal skin. In most countries, estheticians working independently have no right to operate any medical instruments. In all 17 countries that returned the questionnaires medical clinics can employ estheticians, and only theses estheticians who belong to the medical clinics can handle the non-invasive medical instruments under the supervision of doctors. In 17 countries that have related legal regulations, nurses, under the control of doctors, can perform wider range of duties in various settings than estheticians. The survey concludes that the duties of estheticians are closely related with medical skin care services and estheticians can perform various non-invasive medical procedures only under the control of doctors. From consulting a variety of medical-esthetic systems in other countries, we propose that the estheticians be allowed to work in medical clinics to provide better medical services for the patients and to make more chances of employment for themselves.

Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society 1998;2(1):42-48
BACKGROUND: Some research viewed that effective dietary therapy was enough to control proper blood glucose level, but in the most patient, dietary therapy was not practiced and the most difficult part of managing their diabetes. The purpose of this research study was to investigate dietary practice adherence and perceived barriers among the elderly diabetes. METHODS: The survey was mailed to 852 persons with diabetes member via diabetic educator of 156 hospitals or clinics and 24 health centers. Questionnaire had background information of patients, meal regularity, food intake as a dietary practice adherence, barriers of 36 items which have 3 areas such as motive/attitude, knowledge, authority/resource. We asked the person with diabetes to rate barrier to dietary practice adherence. 432 questionnaire were returned the response. we selected 69 persons who were over 65 year old. RESULTS: 1) meal regularity was more satisfactory than food intake. 2) deficit of meal regularity were evening snack and resonable spacing between evening meal and evening snack. 3) deficit of food intake was serving of milk. 4) main barrier to dietary practice adherence was that of knowledge. CONCLUSION: For practice effectively dietary therapy to elderly diabetes, individual consultation or small group education must be pursued and more easily educational skills should be required.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate AIDS-specific knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of auxiliary police on duty in Seoul and to provide basic data for use in AIDS prevention education for auxiliary police. METHODS: In November 2008, we questioned 402 auxiliary police in the Mobile Police Force located in Seoul by using a self-administered questionnaire containing 39 items. RESULTS: Of the respondents, 98.5% were unmarried and scored, on average, 2.95+/-0.98 out of 4 with respect to their knowledge about the transmission routes of HIV infection. Approximately 70.6% of the respondents were sexually active in the past year and 6.3% were diagnosed with or treated for a venereal disease within the past year. Approximately 42.5% of the respondents had sex with someone other than their steady partner and 35.5% of these respondents did not use condom during sexual intercourse. Approximately 77% of the respondents were willing to be anonymously tested for HIV infection that may have been acquired because of unprotected sexual activity during the past year (P=0.018). CONCLUSION: Providing assertive education, as well as additional support and instructions, is necessary to raise awareness about the prevention of AIDS among auxiliary police.

10.Preventive Effect of Lidocaine Pretreatment and Tourniquet Use on Propofol Injection Pain.
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 2001;41(5):543-548
BACKGROUND: Pain on injection of propofol is a common problem, the cause of which remains unKnown. We evaluated the optimum time of a tourniquet with intravenous lidocaine, to decrease the intensity of pain during intravenous propofol injection. METHODS: In 72 patients undergoing general anesthesia, we subdivided all patients into 4 groups. Patients in group 1 (n = 18) received propofol only (1 mg/Kg IV) without a tourniquet, patients in group 2 (n = 18) received 1% lidocaine 20 mg IV with an upper arm tourniquet inflated to 50 mmHg applied for 1 minute followed by propofol (1 mg/Kg IV). We applied a tourniquet to patients in group 3 (n = 18) and 4 (n = 18) for 3 minutes and 5 minutes respectively. The intensity of pain along the forearm was classified in 4 degrees (none, mild, moderate, severe) by the patients and the observer simultaneously. The mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded before injection and at the time when the patient complained of pain. RESULTS: All groups were similar in age, sex, weight and height. The group with the tourniquet applied for 5 minutes followed by a lidocaine injection showed the lowest intensity of pain. However, between the group with 3 minutes and 5 minutes, the difference of the pain score was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that intravenous lidocaine administered after a tourniquet has been inflated to 50 mmHg for 3 minutes before propofol injection attenuates profoundly the pain associated with intravenous propofol injection.
