The aim of this study was to provide pathological information of pediatric oral lesions by retrospectively analyzing oral biopsy results from pediatric patients at the Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Biopsy results of all oral lesions from pediatric patients, aged 0 - 16 years, were collected from the files of the Department of Oral Pathology, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from January 2000 to April 2020. The patients were divided into 3 age groups: 0 - 5, 6 - 11 and 12 - 16 years. All oral lesions were classified into three main categories: inflammatory and reactive, tumor or tumor-like and cystic lesions. Among the total of 2928 biopsy specimens, tumor or tumor-like lesions(35.66%) were the most common, followed by inflammatory and reactive lesions(34.29%) and cystic lesions(30.05%). Regardless of the categories used in this study, odontoma was the most frequently found lesion, mucocele and dentigerous cyst being the next common. This study was the first retrospective review of pediatric oral pathology in Korea, and the results from this study may assist in providing informative insight into the pediatric oral pathology for pediatric dentists.

The aim of this study was to investigate the survival and success rates of autotransplanted maxillary canine at the artificially formed recipient socket and evaluate the factors that influence survival and success rates. A total of 28 children who had 37 impacted canines were reviewed over the mean observation time of 25.1 months. Tooth mobility, pathologic root resorption, vertical bone loss, periapical lesion and anklyosis of donor tooth were investigated clinically and radiographically. The survival rate was 100%. The success rate was 64.9%, because 13 teeth were evaluated as unsuccessful. Significant parameter in determining the success rate of autotransplantation was enlarged follicle size of donor tooth according to Cox proportional hazard regression model. The results provide information necessary for clinician to make a better treatment decision about autotransplantation at the artificially formed recipient socket.

Object : This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of delirium in liver transplanted patients in a hospital in Korea. Method : We reviewed the medical records of 29 liver transplanted patients who were confirmed as delirium by psychiatrists with DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. We estimated the correlation between delirium and clinical conditions of liver transplantations. Result : Post-operative delirium duration was significantly correlated with frequency of hepatic encephalopathy, pre-operative mental status, and stay of intensive care unit. Conclusion : Although there were many limitations of this study, it seemed that pre-operative hepatic encephalopathy affected post liver transplantation delirium.

The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate etiology, clinical features, and treatment modalities of the mandibular condyle fracture in children and young adolescents. This study was conducted based on medical records and radiographic examinations of 44 pediatric patients. Patients received treatment under diagnosis of mandibular condylar fracture. They were divided into 4 groups according to their age. The involvement of condyle in the mandible fracture occurred in higher percentage in younger age groups. Falling was the most common etiologic factor in all age group, especially in children with age under 7. Condyle head was the most frequent site of fracture in age group of 4 - 7 whereas fracture tends to occur in lower condylar areas in older groups. In 54.5% of the mandibular condyle fracture, symphysis fracture was accompanied. Teeth injury occurred in higher incidency when condyle fracture accompanied symphysis fracture. Conservative treatments were applied to 43 out of 44 patients.

후두삽관육아종은 기도내삽관에 의해서 생기는 합병증의 하나로 삽관에 의한 후두손상으로 생긴다. 이 병은 여성에서 호발하며 특히 산부인과 적인 수술과 관련이 많으며 이중 제왕절개술이 제일 많은 원인으로 보고되고 있다. 그동안 산발적인 증례보고가 있어왔으나, 근번 한국에서의 전반적인 임상 양상을 고찰하고자, 그 동안 국내에 보고되었던 모든 문헌과 본 저자가 경험했던 22례를 포함한 총 167례를 후향적으로 조사, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (중략)

Numerical analysis and measurements of the velocity and temperature distributions in buoyancy assisting laminar mixed convection flow over a vertically located, two-dimensional backward-facing step are reported. Laser-Doppler Velocimeter and Constant Temperature Anemometer operated in constant current were used to measure simultaneously the velocity and temperature distributions in the recirculation region downstream of the step. The reattachment length was measured by using flow visualization technique for different inlet velocities, wall temperatures and step heights. While the reattachment length $X_r$ increases as the inlet velocity or step height increase, it decreases as the buoyancy force increases, causing the size of the recirculation region to decrease. For the experimental range of $Gr_s$/$Re_{s}^{2}$$\times$$10^3$<17, a correlation equation for the reattachment length can be given by $X_{r}=1.05(2.13+0.021 Re_{s})exp$ $(-33.7_s^{-0.186}/Gr_{s}/Re_{s}^2).$ The Nusselt number is found to increase and the location of its maximum value moves closer to the step as the buoyancy force increases. The location of the maximum Nusselt number occurs downstream of the reattachment point, and distance between the reattachment point and the location of the maximum Nusselt mumber increases as the buoyancy force increases. Computational prediction agrees favorably well with measured results.

This study evaluated the applicability of computer-aided diagnosis by retrospective analysis of GLCM algorithm based on cytopathological diagnosis of normal and malignant nodules in thyroid ultrasound images. In the experiment, the recognition rate and ROC curve of thyroid malignant nodule were analyzed using 6 parameters of GLCM algorithm. Experimental results showed 97% energy, 93% contrast, 92% correlation, 92% homogeneity, 100% entropy and 100% variance. Statistical analysis showed that the area under the curve of each parameter was more than 0.947 (p = 0.001) in the ROC curve, which was significant in the recognition of thyroid malignant nodules. In the GLCM, the cut-off value of each parameter can be used to predict the disease through analysis of quantitative computer-aided diagnosis.

Background: Intraoperative and postoperative ocular complications are rare. We retrospectively investigated the abnormal ocular findings in patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Methods: The records were investigated of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery at our hospital between January 2018 and March 2019. Ocular complications were confirmed by review of medical records. We performed logistic regression analysis to defined the main factors associated with ocular complications. Results: The overall prevalence of postoperative ocular complications was 8.5% (18/211). A significant association was found between anti-adhesion barrier agent and ocular complications (p=0.020). Conclusions: Anti-adhesion barrier agent used during surgery may be the cause of postoperative ocular complication.

Incidence of Plasmodium vivax malaria in South Korea have been reemerged from mid-1990 and infected around 1600 patients annually recent years. The authors calculated the distribution of malaria infection and prevalence in South Korea using incidence (2001-2006) and incubation period distributions by a back-calculation formula and the least squares estimation method. The estimated infection has a normal distribution with a mean 207 and a standard deviation 30.7 days. In addition, the authors found the estimated daily average prevalence is 628.8 patients.
