PURPOSE: This study was done to identify the relationship between gender-role stereotypes, sexual assault awareness and permissible limits in the college students. METHODS: With a structured survey, a sample of 756 college students who agreed to participate in the study completed a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: The result showed that gender-role stereotypes differed significantly depending on gender and age, while awareness of sexual assault differed significantly depending on gender, age, and location of residence. The permissible limits in sexual assault differed significantly according to gender, relationship with parents, and location of residence. There were significant relationships among awareness of sexual assault, gender-role stereotypes, and permissible limits of sexual assault. CONCLUSION: The result will provide preliminary data and strategies to develop sexual assault prevention programs.

Ultrasonic evaluation of the pylorus was performed in a group of 22 infants clinically suspected of having Congenital Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (CHPS), from march 1990 to July 1991. In every case the diagnosis of CHPS was confirmed by surgery. Ten normal babies served as the control group. 1) In CHPS group, the mean age on admission was 36.7 +/- 16.4 days, and male to female ratio was 19.3. In control group, the mean age was 33.7 +/- 18.7 days, with the sex ratio of 8 : 2, male predominating. 2) In CHPS group, the mean age of symptom onset was 18.6 +/- 12.7 days, the majority occurring between 2 to 3 weeks (13 cases : 59%). 3) The ultrasonographic measurements showed that the pyloric muscle thickness of CHPS group was 4.94 +/- 1.35 mm (mean+/-S.D), nearly four times greater than that of the control group with 1.30 +/- 0.17mm, whereas the pyloric canal length of CHPS group (18.03 +/- 1.84mm) was increased significantly, but only by 50%, compared with the control group (11.54 +/- 1.70). 4) In CHPS group, operative measurements of pyloric muscle thickness was 5.20+/-1.23mm, not significantly differing from the sonographic measurement, while pyloric canal length measured 22.13 +/- 3.45mm, significantly larger than ultrasonographic measurement. This indicates that the pyloric muscle thickness measured on preoperative ultrasonogram may provide more significant diagnostic value than the pyloric canal length. 5) If the diagnostic criteria for CHPS were taken as pyloric muscle thickness above 4mm and pyloric canal length above 16mm, 21 out of 22 cases (99.4%) were diagnosed correctly.

This investigation evaluated patients who received Steri-Oss implants from the Dental Hospital of Chosun University during the period from March 1989 to August 1997. 346 fixtures of 127 patients were included in this study . The results were as follows ; 1.The follow-up period was defined as the period between the surgical placement of the implants and the last follow-up examination. The mean follow-up period was 2.17+/-1.21 years. 2.The period between fixture installation and second surgery was 0.71+/-0.44 years in the maxilla and 0.46+/-0.21 years in the mandible. 3.The number of fixtures which were installed in the upper jaw(112) was less than that in the lower jaw(234) and in the posterior region(260) was more than in the anterior region(86). 4.The length of fixture which was most frequently used was 12 mm and least was 8mm. Screw implants were installed more than cylindrical implants. 3.8mm implant was the most common implans, followed by 4.5mm and 3.25mm. 5.The number of augmentation cases was more than that of non-augmentation cases and the rate of augmentation cases in the maxilla was more than that in the mandible. 6.Implant restorations for partial edentulos patients(94cases) were more than single-tooth implant restorations(33cases) or implant restorations for complete edentulos patients(10cases). 7.Free-standing prostheses for partially edentulous patients were more commom than any other type of connection between implants and natural teeth. 8.Plaque Index(0.95+/-0.74) and Gingival Index(0.31+/-0.52) were very similar around the natural teeth and reflected an acceptable level of plaque and gingivitis control. Mean value for keratinized mucosa index(1.93+/-1.20) remained fairly constant around level 2(1-2 mm keratinized epithelium). 9.Patients were generally satisfied with implant in terms of comfort, function, speech and esthetics. 10.There was not a statistically significant differences in overall survial rate between implants placed in the maxilla (91.5%) and those placed in the mandible (93.8%). Fourteen implants lost before the prosthetic rehabilitation and eleven implants lost following variable periods in function after the prosthetic phase of the treatment. 11.Cause of implant failures was exfoliation or removal of fixture due to non-osseointegration before the prosthetic rehabilitation or due to fracture of fixture, masticatory pain after the prosthetic rehabilitation. 12.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants using the Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis was 93.8% at 2 year and 86.6% at 5 year. In all cases, implant losses occured predominantly in the healing period. There was a steep decline in the rate of implant loss after the first year. 13.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants in the anterior region was 94.8% at 2 year and 94.8% at 5 year and that in the posterior region was 92.8% at 2 year and 75.9% at 5 year. In conclusion, this study revealed a number of parameters and guidelines for achieving an optimal success rate in osseointegration.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a Yoga-focused prenatal program on the stress, anxiety, self confidence and labor pain of pregnant women who had in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. METHODS: A quasi experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The data collection period and meditation program were between January 9 and August 31, 2009. Forty-six women who were pregnant following IVF, and were between 12-20 weeks gestation, participated in the study (23 experimental group, 23 control group). Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U Test, ANCOVA, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients with the SPSS 12.0 for Windows Program. RESULTS: Although the sample size was limited, women who participated in the program showed statistically significant improvements in stress, anxiety, labor pain, and labor confidence for women pregnant after IVF. CONCLUSION: The result indicate that this 12-week Yoga-focused educational program can be utilized for women pregnant following IVF to reduce their stress, anxiety, and labor pain, and to increase delivery confidence. It is suggested that the Yoga-focused educational program be offered to every pregnant woman.

Synovial Sarcoma is a very rare and highly malignant tumor. It is prevalent near the joints. Its peak incidence is from 3 rd to 6 th decade. It occurs almost at the upper and lower extremities and is also called as Sarcomesothelioma, Synovial Endothelioma, Malignant Synovioma and Synovioma. Three cases of Synovial Sarcoma which was treated at the department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul Red Cross Hosp. from 1968 to 1977 was reported.

We report a case of 50-year-old man with hyalinized hemangioma of the liver. This tumor was detected incidentally during surgical operation for gall stone and was preoperatively diagnosed as intrahepatic stone. A 2.5 2 cm sized gray to white hard mass was found in the left lobe of the liver. Histologically, the tumor was composed of dense collagenous tissue with marked hyalinization, calcification, and ossification admixed with scattered sclerotic vessels. Abundunt elastic fibers were noted in the hyalinized tissue. Totally hyalinized hemangioma is very uncommon and could be erroneously diagnosed as a malignant tumor by preoperative radiologic examination.

As a new concept of resistive exercise, isokinetic exercise was developed during the early 1950's. In isokinetic exercise, the subject works at a fixed speed against variable and totally accommodating resistance. The isokinetic equipment has been used widely as a therapeutic modality in clinical setting, as a training and testing device for sports practicians, and as a method for scientific examination of postoperative status of muscles and joint function for orthopedists. In order to acquire the isokinetic normative data of the knee for clinical use, we examined the flexor and extensor muscle force of the knee joint in 160 subjects with Cybex II. The results were as follows; 1. Mean values of extensor strength were 76.04 ft.-1bs in right knee 75.45 ft.-lbs in left knee, 78.42 ft.-1bs in dominent hand side leg 73.84 ft.-1bs in non-dominent hand side leg, and 82.52 ft.-1bs in dominent leg 71.93 ft.-lbs in non-dominent leg. 2. Sex difference of extensor strength were 95.13 ft.-lbs in male 55.98 ft.-1bs in female, and that of flexor strength were 54.90 ft.-1bs in male 33.68 ft.-1bs in female. 3. Mean of position angle of maximal torque were between 58° and 65° for extensors, 35° and 45° for flexors. 4. Mean of total range of motion at working isokinetically with 60°/sec speed was 99°. 5. Mean values of extensor power were 54.43 ft.-1bs in male 30.63 ft.-lbs in female, and that of flexor power were 35.99 ft.-1bs in male 22.42 ft.-1bs in female. 6. Strength and power decreased as ages getting old, and there was significant diminish between 4th decade and 5th decade. 7. Power endurance had more difference when it was compared with occupation. Mean value of power endurance was between 12 times and 18 times.

BACKGROUND: Although the incidence of postoperative residual curarization (PORC) following the use of intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocking agents is lower than that of longer-acting neuromuscular blocking agents, it has been reported in many studies. We compared the incidence of PORC following either rocuronium or vecuronium given by intermittent bolus or continuous infusion dosing. METHODS: Ninety-eight patients were included in this study. Neuromuscular blocking drugs were administered based solely on clinical criteria, and the reversal agent pyridostigmine was given to all patients. Residual block following rocuronium infusion (Group R-I), rocuronium bolus (Group R-B), vecuronium infusion (Group V-I), or vecuronium bolus dosing (Group V-B) was evaluated on arrival in the postanesthesia care unit. Neuromuscular function was assessed acceleromyographically (using TOF-Watch(R) to measure the train-of-four (TOF) ratio) and also clinically. PORC was defined as a TOF ratio of < 0.8. RESULTS: The incidence of PORC on arrival in the postanesthesia care unit was 20% in Group R-I, 23% in Group R-B, 42% in Group V-I, and 19% in Group V-B. Mean TOF ratio in Group V-I was less than those of the other groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PORC is still common following vecuronium or rocuronium, even after the block is antagonized, if neuromuscular blocking agents are administered according to clinical criteria alone.
