The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of teenagers' perceptions to bullies according to the classification types of Q-methodology. The results of the analysis were classified in 5 types. Type 1, which was the type geared foward solution, showed that they expressed a strong attitude of sympathy and protection towards the victim. However, they had harbored rage and hostile feelings against the assaulter. For example, when they witnessed the bully in action, they positively intervened in the situation. Type 2, which was the observer type, showed that they thought the victims were to blame for their misfortune. Also, when a friend who was left out in the cold by his classmates, they were just watched without showing any special interest. Type 3, which was the type of conflict, indicated that they believed that the both the victim and the assaulter should have responsibility. In contrast to the previous type, they had sympathy for the friend who was left out in the cold by his classmates, they had the dual feeling that intended to use the bully under the situation with his friend. Type 4, which was the type of assenting, indicated that they assumed an indifferent attitude to the situation, while they implied assenting to the situation of the friend who had a bad relationship with them. Type 5, which was the negative type, showed that they had the negative view to the situation of bully itself so that they did not recognize the bully as the method of revenge for whatever reason. The results of the study showed that the bully increased the factor of stress to school life of the victim or assaulter, even in the subjective position. The perception of the bully should change according to the characteristics of the types of people and it is necessary to study how to cope with the situations.

PURPOSE: To confirm the accuracy of the radiation dose at the isocenter by the standard linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery technique which was developed at Seoul National University Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Radiation dosimetry was undertaken during standard 5-arc radiosurgery using 6 MV X-ray beam from CL2100C linac. The treatment head was attached with circular tertiary collimators of 10 and 20 mm diameter. We measured the absorbed dose at the isocenter of a multi-purpose phantom using two kinds of detector : a 0.125 cc ionization chamber and a silicon diode detector. RESULTS: The dose differences at each arc plane between the planned dose and the measured dose at the isocenter raged from -0.73% to -2.69% with the 0.125 cc ion chamber, and from -1.29% to -2.91% with the diode detector during radiosurgery with the tertiary collimator of 20 mm diameter. Those with the 10-mm tertiary collimator ranged from -2.39% to -4.25% with the diode. CONCLUSION: The dose accuracy at the isocenter was +/-3%. Therefore, further efforts such as modification in processing of the archived image through DICOM3.0 format are required to lessen the dose difference.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness. analyze the result after retrograde intramedullary (IM) nailing in femoral shaft fracture MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-four femoral shaft fracture (32 patients) were operated with retrograde IM nail and followed the result for more than 18 month from march 2001 to march 2003. There were 6 of femoral mid shaft fractures and 28 of distal femur fractures. According to AO classification, there were 1 of A1, 1 of A2, 2 of A3, 2 of C1 in femoral mid shaft fracture and 11 of A1, 7 of A2, 7 of A3, 1 of B1, 2 of C1 in distal femur fracture. They included 5 open fracrures. By Gustilo classification there were 3 of type I, 2 of type II. Through radiologic study we evaluated the time of union, nonunion, malunion. And in clinical evaluation we checked knee function in 18 month after operation. RESULTS: It took 16 weeks (range 12~20 weeks) for average bone uion period. 30 cases out of 34 cases had the bone union but 4 cases showed nonunion. There were not any complication except 3 cases of screw migration. Full rage of motion was gained in 29 cases. However knee stiffness occurred in 5 cases. The knee function through knee score was assessed by showing 28 of excellent, 1 of good, 5 of poor. CONCLUSION: Even though the retrograde intramedullary nailing may have some defect to be able to damage to knee joint in operating, It can be useful surgical technique for femoral shaft fracture in such as ipsilateral fracture or multiple fracture, poor general condition, and so on.

PURPOSE: Intraluminal High dose rate brachytherapy is an accepted treatment for the tumors of GI tract. However, there is only some limited clinical data for intraluminal high dose rate brachytherapy for the tumors of GI tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between February 1991 and July 1993, 18 patients who have the tumors of GI tract (esophageal cancer-8 cases, rectal cancer-10 cases) were treated with gigh dose rae iridium-192 afterloading system )Microselectron-HDR, Nucletron CO, Netherland) at the department of therapeutic radiology, St. Mary's hospital, Catholic university medical college. Age rage was 47-87 years with a mean age 71 years. All patients were treated with intraluminal high dose rate brachytherapy within two weeks after conventional external radiation therapy and received 3-5 Gy/fraction 3-4 times per week to a total dose 12-20 Gy (mean 17 Gy). Standard fractionation and conventional dose were delivered for external radiation therapy. Total dose of external radiation therapy ranged 41.4-59.4 Gy (mean 49.6 Gy). Median follow up was 19 months. RESULTS: The analysis was based on 18 patients. The complete response and partial response in esophageal cancer was similar (38%). Two year rates for survival and median survival were 13% and 10 months, respectively. Among 10 patients of rectal cancers, partial response was obtained in 6 patients (60%). There was no complete response in the patients with rectal cancer, but good palliative results were achieved in all patients. CONCLUSION: Although the number of patients was not large and the follow up period was relatively short, these findings suggested that intraluminal high dose rate brachytherapy could be useful in the treatment of the patients with advanced tumors of GI tract.

It is not easy and simple to evaluate of the range of motion (ROM) of the head and neck, although it is important clinically. This study was performed to evaluated ROM of the head and neck in eighty young korean adults (50 men and 30 women). Both side rotations, flexion, extension and lateral bending were measured, and especially side rotation was performed with cases, natural and forced rotation. And the sitting habit of most subjects (48 men and 28 women) in classroom or theater were studied with questionnaire. Natural rotation in men was larger in right than left side (left : right=51.1.degrees: 53.9.degrees). Forced rotation was not significant between right and left sides in men and women, and between men and women (left : right=77.6.degrees: 76.8.degreesin men; left : right=77.4.degrees: 76.2.degrees in women). Flexion was larger in men (65.7.degrees) than women (58.9.degrees). The rage of the extension were 84.3.degrees and 80.0.degrees in men and women. Right lateral bending was larger in men than women (42.1.degrees and 38.6.degrees). The subjects dominant in the left or right rotation preferred to center of classroom generally (72.7% and 81.2%). In case that the subjects must select the one side between left and right, the subjects dominant in left rotation preferred to sit to the right (57.6%), and the subjects dominant in right rotation preferred to sit to the left (53.5%). This results suggested that this data might be the basis of ROM of the head and neck in young korean adults.

The purpose of this report is to present the results of clinical observations on the surgical treatment of 26 patients (16 male, 10 female) with intractable pain during the period from May, 1960 to April, 1972 at the Department of Neurosurgery, Seoul National University Hospital. Age at the time of operation raged from 27 to 69 years. Duration of the pain from the onset to surgery was less than one year in most of the cases. The most common causes of the pain were the pelvic malignancies, lung cancer, and metastatic spine tumors in the order. In 20 cases of anterolateral cordotomies, the main complications were urinary retention, ipsilateral motor weakness, and decubitus. The high cervical cordotomy produced high analgesic level and less dropping of established analgesic level postoperatively. Posterior rhizotomy for intercostal neuralgia and a case of thoracic commissurotomy for intramedullary tumor were of gratifying result. The higher the pain located, the longer the pain existed, the operation was less likely to relieve the pain. High cervical cordotomy seems to be superior to high thoracic cordotomy even in the pain of leg, when it is considered in the respect of the high analgesic level, the lack of "island" of pain, and technical easiness.

PURPOSE: Medical students' personality types and interpersonal needs must be considered. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of personality types and interpersonal needs. METHODS: A total of 171 students in Konyang University College of Medicine were examined using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B). The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test, and one-sample proportion test. RESULTS: The proportion of the 4 pairs of MBTI dimensions were Extroversion (E)-Introversion (I) (53.2% vs. 46.8%), Sensing (S)-Intuition (N) (63.2% vs. 36.8%), Thinking (T)-Feeling (F) (59.7% vs. 40.4%), and Judging (J)-Perceiving (P) (56.1% vs. 43.9%). The predominant personality types were ISTJ (16.4%), ESTJ (14.0%), and ESFJ (10.5%). The level of interpersonal needs were medium rage that was inclusion (mean=8.1), control (mean=8.8), affection (mean=8.1), expressed behavior (mean=12.1), wanted behavior (mean=12.9), and overall interpersonal needs (mean=25.0). Of the basic social needs, males and females differed significantly with regard to control needs (p=0.028). CONCLUSION: Educational programs that take into account personality types and characteristics of interpersonal needs are crucial in providing effective medical education. Our results suggest that the characteristics of personality types and interpersonal needs should be considered in developing an interpersonal relations improvement program for medical students.

This study aimed to ascertain whether medical students would enter a closed area where there was a raging epidemic of an infectious disease with a high fatality rate, and includes reasons for the students entering or refusing to enter. Participants included 50 second-year medical students. They were assigned to read a novel entitled 28, written by Youjeong Jeong, and discuss it in groups. Using their book reports, their decisions of whether or not to enter Hwayang, the city from the novel, and the reasons for their decisions were analyzed; we furthermore investigated the factors affecting their decisions. Among the 50 respondents, 18 students (36%) answered that they would enter, and the remaining 32 students (64%) answered that they would not enter the zone. The reasons given for entering were responsibility (44%), sense of ethics (33%), social duty (17%), and sense of guilt (6%). The reasons the students provided for not entering were inefficiency (44%), worry regarding family (28%), needlessness of sacrifice (19%), and safety not ensured (9%). Students who had four or fewer family members were more likely to enter Hwayang than were students who had five or more family members (odds ratio, 1.85). Students who had completed over 100 hours of volunteer work were more likely to enter Hwayang than were students who had volunteered less than 100 hours (odds ratio, 2.04). Owing to their "responsibility" as a doctor, 36% of medical students answered that they would enter an exclusion zone in an infected district with a high fatality rate. However, 64% answered they would not enter because of "inefficiency." For the medical students it is still a question 'To enter or not to enter?'
