  • 수직적인 문제의 치료는 진단이 매우 중요하다. 치료 방법이나 치아의 이동량도 수평적인 치아 이동과는 다르게 매우 제한되어 있으므로 구체적인 치료목표를 설정하여 이를 달상할 수 있는 적절한 생역학을 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 의원성에 의해서 발생하는 경우도 매우 빈번하므로 치료과정에 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 치료는 성장기 환자에서 성장을 적극적으로 이용해야 하며 성인의 경우에 부작용을 적절히 해소해주어야 성공적인 치료결과를 가져올 수 있다

  • 당뇨병환자 중에 아직도 자신의 병을 숨기려는 사람이 많이 있다. 당뇨가 있을 지라도 특별한 문제가 없이 무슨 일이든 다 해낼 수 있다는 사례가 많이 있음에도 불구하고, 직장이나 사회에서 불이익 받을 것을 걱정하여 당당하게 밝히지 못하는 것이다. 이 처럼, 참가자 박찬규 씨도 당뇨가 있음을 선뜻 말할 수 없었다고 하는 데 그 사정을 들어봤다.

  • 당뇨병은 교육이 곧 치료이다. 교육의 효과가 일상생활에 옮겨지기 위해서는 환자 스스로가 실천할 수 있어야 하는데 막상 실생활에서 행하기가 쉽지만은 않다. 그렇기 때문에 직접 경험해 보고 깨닫는 방법이야말로 가장 훌륭한 교육방법이다. 당뇨캠프는 당뇨관리에 평소 소홀히 했거나 무지했던 당뇨인들에게 교육을 통해 올바른 지식을 전달하고 실천 가능한 당뇨관리가 될 수 있도록 돕고 있다.

  • Background : Many clinicians are reluctant to prescribe systemic corticosteroids to manage an asthmatic attack because of many complications such as osteoporosis, cushing's syndrome, diabetes, hypertension and bleeding tendency. The use of nebulized budesonide may be of value in some infants, old men, and in particular adult asthmatic patients who complain of severe dyspnea. A clinical validation and steroid-sparing effect of nebulized budesonide in asthmatic adults and COPD were evaluated, and the short-term effects of budesonide use on the HPA axis were assessed. Materials and Methods : Study A was prospectively done with 41 patients diagnosed with pure asthma and 30 patients diagnosed with COPD (including asthmatic component) in Soonchunhyang Hospital, Chunan from June. 2000 to Sep. 2001. They were treated with nebulized budesonide including systemic steroids (Group 1), a budesonide tubuhaler including a systemic steroid (Group 2), or only the systemic steroid(Group 3). The peak flow rate, arterial blood gas in room air, pulmonary function test, symptom scoring, steroid amount and hospital stay were analyzed. Study B was conducted with 19 patients to evaluate the short-term effects on the HPA axis of treatment with nebulized budesonide 1mg twice daily and a budesonide turbuhaler 5 puffs twice daily. The adrenal function was assessed prior to budesonide inhalation and after 7 days of budesonide inhalation. Results : In the pure asthmatic patients, the mean value of the symptoms (dyspnea, wheezing, cough, night asthma) or the arterial BGAs, total amounts of steroid or hospital stay and the difference in the results of the pulmonary function tests or peak expiratory flow rate were similar in the three groups. In COPD with an asthmatic component, there were no significant differences among the three groups. Although nebulized budesonide suppressed HPA function,(p=0.006) the HPA responses from the nebulized budesonide and turbuhaler budesonide were similar (p=0.288) Conclusion : This result suggests that systemic steroid should only be made available for acute asthmatic patients irrespective of the inhaled budesonides. Nebulized budesonide at the therapeutic dose has similar effects on the HPA axis compared to that of turbuhaler budesonide.

  • Bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical entity whether congenital or acquired in adult. We experinced 8 cases of bronchoesophageal fistula and performed surgical correction from 1991 to 1994. Of the 8 patients, 5 patients were male and three were female aging from 21 to 61 years(mean 44.12$\pm$14.62 years). Seven of 8 patients had congenital bronchesophageal fistula and the other one had acquired bronchoesophageal fistula. According to the classification of Braimbridge and Keith, 4 cases were belonged to type I and 3 cases were type II . The diagnosis was confirmed by esophagogram in six patients, by bronchoscopy and bronchogram in two patients, and in one patient, the fistula was discovered i cidentally during operation. All patients received astulectomy and concomitant procedures were applied as follows ; 4 diverticulectomy, 4 right lower lobectomy, 1 bilobectomy, 1 left lower lobectomy and 1 wedge resection of left lower lobe. All but one patient were discharged without any complication and have been in good condition.

  • Background: A ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a congenital anomaly commonly afflicting the pediatric population. However, it occurs more frequently in adults than is generally appreciated. To assess their characteristics, we have here compared and analyzed the clinical manifestations, causes, and outcomes of UPJ obstruction found in children and adults. Materials and Methods: 102 patients (118 renal units) out of 182 patients (218 renal units), with diagnosed UPJ obstruction, were available for follow up. The follow-ups were retrospectively reviewed to determine the presenting symptoms, treatments, and clinical outcomes. Patients who were younger than 18 years of age were assigned to the pediatric group (44 patients), others the adult group (58 patents). Results: The majority of the patients presented with flank pain (pediatric group: 68%, adult group: 76%). The majority of patients underwent a pyeloplasty (pediatric group: 50.9%, adult group: 62.3%). And the major cause of the UPJ obstruction was an intrinsic stenosis (pediatric group: 53%, adult group: 56%). Conclusion: The prevalence of bilateral UPJ obstruction in adults is evidently less prevalent than in pediatrics, and despite the late diagnosis, the surgical outcome is similar. A further investigation of UPJ obstruction will lead us to a more comprehensive understanding of the disease.

  • Recently, the number of those who were transplanted cochlear implants increased as health insurance increases has expanded. Last six years between 2005 to 2009, patients who received a cochlear implant surgery were about 3,300 and number of cochlear implants in adults of them have shown growing aspects. In the case of young children, they actively participated auditory training program after cochlear implant surgery and the studies related to auditory training in child are many, but the studies related to auditory training in adults is insufficient. In this study, we perform the auditory training for the female adult (age 54) received cochlear implant after language acquisition used Ling 6 sounds test, standardized consonants, vowels and sentences listening test and word recognition and confirmation test. As a result after auditory training for 10 weeks, she identified all phonemes in Ling 6 sound test and performed close to 100% in standardized consonants, vowels and sentences listening tests. Also, she improved the ability of real-world environmental sound and real-world words identifications by 57-95%. The results of this study showed the need of auditory training program with systematic and effective planning and considering the characteristics of the individual for adults.

  • Background: Treatment of adult patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) has many difficulty such as pulmonary hypertension, arterial wall calcification, aneurysmal chage of ductus. We tried to evaluate the effect of surgical interruption of PDA on postopeative change of heart size. Material and Method : From 1987 to 1997 we experienced 30 cases of the ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in adult at the department of cardiovacular surgery in Masan Samsung General Hospital. Result: There were 9 males and 21 females and their ages ranged from 16 to 44 years, with a mean age of 26.1 years. 15 patients had pulmonary hypertension and 9 patients complained of dyspnea with a degree of functional NYHA class III. Operation method was double or triple ligation using Teflon felt. Postoperative complications were wound dehiscence in 3 patients and transient hoarseness in 1 patient. The mean preoperative cardiothoracic ratio was 54.7%, and mean postoperative cardiothoracic ratio was 51.9%. The change of cardiothoracic ratio was more typical in the cases who had congestive heart failure. Their mean preoperative cardiothoracic ratio was 64.8% and the mean postoperative cardiothoracic ratio was 58.5% there was no postoperative deaths. Conclusion: We canclude that the improvement in cardiothoracic ratio may result from surgical intervention of PDA.
