4.Emotional Labor Experienced by Ambulatory Care Nurses.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Administration 2011;17(4):451-461
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore emotional labor experienced by nurses in ambulatory care setting. METHOD: The phenomenological method developed by Giorgi was used for this study. The participants were 9 nurses who had experienced emotional labor. Data were collected between May and August 2010 by face-to-face interviews. The interview was recorded and then transcribed. RESULTS: The constituents associated with the meaning of the nurses' experiences of emotional labor in ambulatory care setting were as followings: bearing down of suffering emotions coming up from the bottom, feeling loneliness when having to undertake care alone by oneself, having conflict between nursing professional and services, managing mind by means of both internal and external resources, getting ridding oneself of conflict with forced emotions over time. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study should contribute to a deeper understanding of the meaning of emotional labor experienced by nurses in ambulatory care. The results also highlight the need to develop programs for nurses in ambulatory care setting to help them express their real action.

5.Estimation of Optimal Educational Cost per Medical Student.
Korean Journal of Medical Education 2009;21(3):299-305
PURPOSE: This study aims to estimate the optimal educational cost per medical student. METHODS: A private medical college in Seoul was targeted by the study, and its 2006 learning environment and data from the 2003~2006 budget and settlement were carefully analyzed. Through interviews with 3 medical professors and 2 experts in the economics of education, the study attempted to establish the educational cost estimation model, which yields an empirically computed estimate of the optimal cost per student in medical college. RESULTS: The estimation model was based primarily upon the educational cost which consisted of direct educational costs (47.25%), support costs (36.44%), fixed asset purchases (11.18%) and costs for student affairs (5.14%). These results indicate that the optimal cost per student is approximately 20,367,000 won each semester; thus, training a doctor costs 162,936,000 won over 4 years. Consequently, we inferred that the tuition levels of a local medical college or professional medical graduate school cover one quarter or one-half of the per- student cost. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study do not necessarily imply an increase in medical college tuition; the estimation of the per-student cost for training to be a doctor is one matter, and the issue of who should bear this burden is another. For further study, we should consider the college type and its location for general application of the estimation method, in addition to living expenses and opportunity costs.

PURPOSE: The study was conducted to compare the radiographic and clinical methods of measuring the horizontal condylar guidance (HCG) values. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The condylar guidance was measured using the radiographic (CT scan) and three clinical methods i.e. the wax protrusive records, Lucia jig record and intraoral central bearing device in 12 patients aged between 20-40 years irrespective of sex. The records were taken and transferred on the semi-adjustable articulator to record the HCG values. The CT scan was taken for 3D reconstruction of the mid facial region. Frankfort horizontal plane (FHP) and a line extending from the superior anterior most point on the glenoid fossa to the most convex point on the apex of articular eminence (AE) was marked on the CT scan. An angle between these two lines was measured on both right and left sides to obtain condylar inclination angle. Three interocclusal protrusive wax and jig records were taken and transferred to the semi adjustable articulator. Three readings were recorded on each side. Similarly the records were taken and transferred to the same articulator using the intra oral central bearing device to record the readings. RESULTS: The statistical analysis showed insignificant differences in the HCG values between the right and left sides [(P=.589 (CT), P=.928 (wax), P=.625 (jig), P=.886 (tracer)]. The clinical methods provided low Pearsons correlation values [(R = 0.423 (wax), R = 0.354 (jig), R = 0.265 (tracer)] for the right as well as the left sides when compared with the CT values. Among the clinical methods, jig and wax method showed strong level of association which is statistically significant while the intra-oral tracer showed weak association with the other two methods. CONCLUSION: The right and left HCG values were almost similar. The CT scan showed higher HCG values than the clinical methods and among the clinical methods, values obtained from all the methods were comparable.

Patellar clunk syndrome after total knee arthroplasty is a complication that causes pain and poping or catching of patella. We experienced a case after mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty that medial synovial tissue was impinged between patella and femoral component and intra-articular fibrotic nodule of superior pole of patella was observed. Also, wear of Polyethylene were observed at anterio side. We resolved the patient symptom after excision of fibrotic nodule, synovectomy of medial synovial hypertrophy, and change of polyethylene. We report this case with literature review.

Fel Ursi(bear bile) has been used as medicine for a long history, with wide clinical applications and definite curative efficacy. Fel Ursi has good pharmacodynamic activities in the treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to the places of origin, traditional Fel Ursi is divided into "Dongdan" and "Nandan". According to the gallbladder properties, it is divided into "Jindan" "Tiedan" "Caihuadan", and "Youdan". With the development of bear bile drainage technology, Pulvis Fellis Ursi has entered the market and been used clinically instead of Fel Ursi. At present, obtaining artificial Pulvis Fellis Ursi by chemical compounding and biotransformation is the hotspot in medical research, which can solve the shortage problem of bear bile resources, and also protect endangered animals. The quality problem of Fel Ursi in the market is prominent, with counterfeit products prepared from sheep bile, cow bile, pig bile, and chicken bile. Due to the scarcity of bear bile resources, the related research contents are scattered, and there is a lack of systematic analysis and summary. This paper focused on the development of Fel Ursi to clarify the source and classification of traditional Fel Ursi, and summarized the harvesting, processing, identification, and use of Fel Ursi. Additionally, the paper also compared the quality standards of Fel Ursi, summarized the technological development process of Pulvis Fellis Ursi, and prospected the modern research and clinical application of Pulvis Fellis Ursi, which is expected to provided references for the collation of bear bile resources, the clinical application of Fel Ursi, the development of Fel Ursi drugs, and related research on artificial Pulvis Fellis Ursi.

PURPOSE: Reconstruction of eyebrow defects after wide excision of the benign and malignant tumors present a cosmetic challenge to the plastic surgeon. There were several methods for reconstruction of partial eyebrow defect with local flaps except hair bearing composite graft. We introduce simple eyebrow reconstruction with bilateral advancement flap and tattooing on the idea that eyebrow tattooing is popular permanent eyebrow makeup among elderly Korean women. METHODS: The flaps were designed on both ends of the eyebrow defect along the upper and lower margin of the eyebrow. Both flaps were cut, undermined and were moved centrally to cover the defect. Both flaps were attached along the vertical suturing line. The rest of each flap was sown with dog-ears revised minimally. Scar lines would be hidden along the natural borders of the eyebrow if possible. The resulting vertical scar finally was covered with hair. After 8 months, eyebrow tattooing would be done to camouflage eyebrow shortening and scar. RESULTS: Partial eyebrow defect was reconstructed successfully with bilateral advancement flap and tattooing. The postoperative scar was inconspicuous and eyebrow looked symmetric. CONCLUSION: We recommend partial eyebrow reconstruction with bilateral advancement flap and tattooing for the elderly Korean female patients after excision of small tumor in and around eyebrow region.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a nonscaring type of hair loss, which is considered an autoimmune disease. The patchy loss of hair occurring in alopecia areata may involve not only the scalp but also any hair bearing area. This condition almost always involves the scalp, so alopecia areata only involving other body sites without involving the scalp is rare. To the best of our knowledge, there is no previously reported case of alopecia areata limited to the pubic area in the Korean dermatological literature. Herein, we report the first case of alopecia areata limited to the pubic area without involving other sites.
