The purpose of this study was to compare the fitness of the IPS Empress ceramic crowns according to margin type such as bevel, shoulder, rounded shoulder, shoulder with bevel, rounded shoulder with bevel and grooved bevel. After 10 experimental dies were constructed for each group, the IPS Empress ceramic crowns were fabricated on the dies, cemented with resin cement(Bistite resin cement, Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan) and embeded in clear epoxy resin. Each specimen was sectioned with a low speed diamond saw in both the faciopalatal and the mesiodistal direction. The cement film thickness was measured with a measuring microscope. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The fitness at the external margin was good in the following order: rounded shoulder(28.99), shoulder with bevel(31.33), grooved bevel(31.79), rounded shoulder with bevel(34.65), bevel(35.02) and shoulder(35.08). However there is no significant statistical difference. 2. The fitness at the internal margin of bevel(25.75), rounded shoulder(31.24), shoulder with bevel(32.07) and rounded shoulder with bevel(34.45) was better than that of shoulder(47.98). 3. The fitness at the axial surface of bevel(26.58) was better than that of shoulder(49.59). 4. The fitness at the central fossa was good in the following order: shoulder with bevel(38.88), grooved bevel(40.46) rounded shoulder with shoulder(46.29), shoulder(48.91), bevel(49.47) and rounded bevel(52.07). However there is no significant statistical difference. 5. Overall fitness of bevel(29.71), rounded shoulder(32.49) and shoulder with bevel(34.47) was better than that of shoulder(44.73).

The purpose of this study was to define the optimum dose of lidocaine required to reduced pain on injection of diazepam. We conducted a prospective, randomized trial on l20 patients undergoing anesthesia. patients were allocated to four groups according to the lidocaine do sage: group A(control), no lidocaine; group B, lidocaine 0.1 mg/kg; group C, lidocaine 0.2 mg/kg; group D, lidocaine 0.4 mg/kg. our results sbowed that a dose of lidocaine 0.4 mg/kg significa ntly reduced the incidence of pain.

BACKGROUND: The mechanically ventilated patient's stay in the emergency department (ED) is brief but ventilatory management and intervention must be optimal. Agitation, anxiety, distress, and discomfort are common complications far the ventilated patient. So, sedation is necessary to reduce these complications. METHODS: Patients were monitored and mechanically ventilated. Midazolam was intravenously administered as loading dose(3-5mg), followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.06mg/kg/hr, titrated to achieve a predetermined sedation level (Ramsay's sedation score: 2-5 points, Glasgow coma score scathe : 8-11 points). RESULTS: After onset of predetermined sedation, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate remained stable during continuous infusion when compared with those of the initial state. Arterial blood gas and peak inspiratory pressure remained unchanged but respiratory rate was decreased to allowable ranges. CONCLUSION: A short-term continuous infusion of midazolam was a safe and erective method for sedation of ventilated patients in ED.

PURPOSE: The Burch bladder neck suspension is a effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence due to hypermobility. To assess the safety, effectiveness and potential benefits of the transperitoneal laparoscopic Burch colposuspension. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We assessed the short-term result of 15 patients who underwent a laparoscopic Burch colposuspension with transperitoneal approach. All patients had stress incontinence with bladder neck hypermobility and no cystocele and rectocele. The 14 patients had coexisting disorder(uterine myoma 11, ovarian cyst 2, carcinoma in situ 1), so concomitant operation was performed 14 cases(laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy 12, laparoscopic assisted ovarian cystectomy. RESULTS: In 15 patient who underwent the laparoscopic procedure, continent in 11(73%), improved in 1 (6%) and failed in 3(20%) with mean follow-up of 14 months (range 6-18). The mean operation time was 81 minutes(range 70-120), mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.8 days(range 3-7). CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic colposuspension with the transperitoneal approach is a reasonable alternative in treating stress urinary incontinence, especially when the patients have previous properitoneal or lower abdominal surgery or concomitant operation for coexisting disease. Early results are similar to those of open and needle suspension techniques, although longer follow-up is necessary to determine longterm efficiency.
