This study was investigated to assess the difference of facial height and occlusal plane inclination between normal occlusion group and class 11 malocclusion group. The subjects consisted of 50 normal occlusion (male 25, female 25) and 50 class II(male 25, female 25) malocclusion patients. All subjects are adult. lateral cephalogram was taken with standard method, traced, and digitized for each subjects. The computerized statiscal analysis was carried out with SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. In class II malocclusion group, variables significant different from normal occlusion group were as follows SN-FOP, FH-BOP, MP-BOP, AB-BOP, AB-FOP, Facial plane-BOP, FP-FOP. 2. In class II malocclusion group, the posterior facial height -especially posterior lower facial height-was significantly smaller than normal occlusion group.( P < 0.05) 3. In class II malocclusion group, the angles bEStween occlusal plane and upper and lower incisor, the angle between upper molar and bisected occlusal plane we e significantly larger than those of normal occlusion group. (P < 0.05) 4. LI to Mandibular plane (mm) was a unique factor of occlusal plane position that showed significant difference in class -Il1 malocclusion group. 5. The correlation between overbite and occlusal plane inclination existed in class II malocclusion group, but the correlation didn't exist in normal occlusion group.

2.Effect of the Spinning Babies Program on Birth Outcomes and Satisfaction during Labor: A NonRandomized Controlled Trial
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2024;54(4):607-619
Purpose:
This study evaluated the effects of the Spinning Babies program applied during labor on birth outcomes and satisfaction among pregnant women.
Methods:
This non-equivalent control group, non-synchronized post-test only design study included 42 participants (22 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group). The Spinning Babies program was conducted four times in the experimental group during the first and second stages of delivery for 50 min per session. The program comprised performing pelvic circles on a birth ball, followed by wide squatting and adopting of open knee-chest and side-lying positions.
Results:
Compared with those in the control group, pregnant women in the experimental group had a significantly shorter labor time (t = - 6.64, p < .001), a higher success rate for normal vaginal delivery (χ2 = 4.86, p = .043), improved Apgar scores of newborns (z2 = - 2.18, p = .029), differences in neonatal oxygen therapy use (χ2 = 4.86, p = .043), and improved birth satisfaction (t = 11.99, p < .001).
Conclusion
The Spinning Babies program improves the birth environment by increasing the normal vaginal delivery success rate, as well as pregnant women’s birth satisfaction, and promotes neonatal health.

BACKGROUND: Induced hypotension is effective in decreasing blood loss and providing better visibility in the surgical field. Extensive epidural block to T4 with intravenous infusion of low-dose epinephrine allows mean arterial pressure to 50 mmHg. We investigated the effects of hypotensive epidural anesthesia comparing with normotensive epidural anesthesia during total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: 40 patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty under epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. In hypotensive group, 0.5% bupivacaine 20cc was injected into L1-2 epidural space and if sensory block reached to T4, then epinephrine 1~5 g/min was intravenously injected with continuous infusion pump. As a result, mean arterial pressure was maintained 50 mmHg, and heart rate, 55~80bpm. In normotensive group, 0.5% bupivacaine 20cc was injected into L4-5 epidural space, and sensory block reached to T8. Therefore blood pressure was maintained within 20% of preoperative baseline. RESULTS: There was apparent difference in blood loss between two groups (hypotensive group: 259 +/- 75 ml, normotensive group: 803 +/- 144*ml) (*:p<0.05). In addition, in the case of hypotensive epidral group, transfusion was not required and CVP, heart rate were not changed postoperatively. Cardiac, renal, and cerebral function were preserved too. CONCLUSIONS: Hypotensive epidural anesthesia with low dose of epinephrine infusion is safely lowering mean arterial pressure to 50 mmHg. This technique is associated with low blood loss, reduction in perioperative transfusion requirements, and has no side effects on CNS, liver, kidney and heart function.

CT has revolutionized the evaluation and management of patients with head injuries. CT is noninvasive and rapidly provides accurate information regarding the presence, extent and nature of intracranial lesions resulting from trauma. We have reviewed the CT scans of 114 patients, who got head injury with confirmed to skull fracture in plain film. The result were as follows; 1. Of all cases, traffic accident was the most frequent cause and in children fall down was more than 50%. 2. Compound linear fracture was the most frequent type fractures in plain skull film. 3. Of all 114 case, epidural hematoma was 16%, subdural hematoma was 18.4%, intracerebral hematoma was14.4%, subdural hygroma was 2.4%, normal finding was 50%. 4. Mortality rate was 13.2%. 5. Fracture was detected by CT about 28.9%, depression fracture was more easily detected in CT. 6. Incidence rate of countercoup lesion was14.0% and mortality rate was higher than same site lesion, 7. The shape of epidural hematoma was biconvex in 75%, planoconvex in 25%. 8. The shape of subdural hematoma was crescentic shape 82.6%, biconvex shape 8.7%, planoconvex shape 8.7%.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2005;35(1):135-142
PURPOSE: This study was aimed at developing an efficient nursing method for the management of constipation by comparing the effects of abdominal meridian massage on the symptoms of constipation. METHOD: The subjects were determined by the Rome II criteria and the Constipation Assessment Scale from Aug 30 through Sep 26, 2002. They were randomly divided into two groups: one experimental group of 16, another control group of 15. Abdominal meridian massage was given to the experimental group and no massage was given to the control group. The frequency of defecation and severity of constipation by CAS were measured. The data was analyzed with the t-test, chi-square-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in frequency of defecation, and severity of constipation in the experimental group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Abdominal meridian massage can be considered an effective nursing method for the management of constipation among CVA patients.

9.A Case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with an Unusual Phenotype.

Korean Journal of Clinical Pathology 1998;18(1):42-45
We introduce an unusual case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) showing strong myeloperoxidase (MPO) positivity without any lineage-specific cell surface marker expression, i.e. myelomonocytic antigens CD13, CD14, CD15 and CD33; or B-lymphoid antigens CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22 and surface immunoglobulin; or T-lymphoid antigens CD2, CD3, CD5 and CD7. The case was morphologically AML with maturation (FAB M2) and the cytogenetic study showed t (8; 21) (q22; q22) and missing Y. But Immunophenotypic studies by flow cytometry showed positive reaction ony for CD34 and HLA-DR. We considered this case as a 'presence of t (8; 21) in MPO (+), CD antigen (-) AML'. The myeloid lineage antigens are known to be expressed very early during myeloid differentiation whereas MPO (in its functional form) is viewed as being expressed relatively late in the process. Therefore, this case could be an example of 'asynchronous differentiation' in leukemia.
