PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify effects of 'mental illness education using movies' on the perceptions and attitudes toward mental illness held by middle and high school teachers. METHODS: The participants were 66 middle and high school teachers, 33 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group. The 'mental illness education using movies' was given to the experimental group twice a week for two weeks. The perceptions and attitudes toward mental illness were measured using the Knowledge and Attitude toward Mental Illness Questionnaire developed by Park, Paik, and Kwack (1995). RESULTS: After the mental illness education, there was a significant difference between the experiment and control group for psychological and environmental concepts toward mental illness (t=7.10, p<.001). CONCLUSION: 'Mental illness education using movies' has limited effects on the perceptions and attitudes of middle and high school teachers toward mental illness. The results of this study indicate that further research is needed with a revised contents of 'the mental illness education using movies' if perceptions and attitudes are to be changed.

Although many methods have been developed to correct the aging process of the head and neck, the correction of nasolabial folds still remains a difficult area. The difficulty of correcting nasolabial fold is due to the anatomical location and the difference of aging process. From March 2000 to February 2001, the authors operated on 10 aging face patients using face lift with SMAS and FAME(Finger-assisted malar fat pad elevation) technique. The authors repositioned the SMAS-platysma flap posterosuperiorly and used finger dissection of the malar fat pad enabling a 3-dimensional correction and repositioning of the fat pad without detachment of the zygomatic ligament. The finger dissection of the malar fat pad attached to the skin enables a more anatomical correction of the malar fat pad with a more natural looking layer and longer lasting results in addition to decreased hematoma, edema and postoperative pain compared to previous methods.

While there is a high prevalence of patent foramen ovale in adults, paradoxical embolism via a patent foramen ovale is rare. Previous echocardiographic studies indicated that paradoxical embolism might only occur in patients with high-risk features of patent foramen ovale (i.e., large defect size, presence of a Eustachian valve, and high right atrial pressure). Here, we present a case of patent foramen ovale with high-risk CT features for paradoxical embolism.

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy is commonly associated with malignant hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, or treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. A 17-year-old man who was diagnosed with traumatic rhabdomyolysis presented with seizure, visual disturbance, and severe pain in both thighs. Brain MRI revealed multiple areas of cortical and subcortical high signal intensities on T2 weighted images in the bilateral parieto-occipital lobes. He was treated with antihypertensive and anticonvulsant drugs and steroids. Forty days later, a follow-up MRI showed almost complete resolution of the brain lesions. The reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy may be associated with acute hypertension due to rhabdomyolysis-related acute renal failure. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(2):163~166, 2001)
