소장질환을 진단하는데 있어서 캡슐내시경의 유용성을 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 2003년 8월부터 2006년 3월까지 영남대학병원에서 캡슐내시경을 시행한 66명(평균나이: 52.1세, 남/녀: 39/27)의 의무기록과 내시경 기록을 검토하였다. 상부 및 하부 위장관 내시경에서 이상이 발견되지 않아 소장질환을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 시행되었으며, 특히 소장출혈의 확인을 위해 시행한 경우가 47명(71.3%)으로 가장 많았다. 이 가운데 궤양 또는 미란이 22예(46.8%), 종양 5예(10.6%), 혈관이형성증 3예(6.4%), 용종 3예(6.4%), 협착이 동반된 궤양 1예(2.1%), 활동성 출혈 1예(2.1%), 정상 소견 12예(25.5%) 등이었다. 이들 가운데 출혈과 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되는 병소는 32예(68.1%)였다. 종양이 발견된 5명에서 수술을 하였는데 위장관간질종양이 4예, 림프관종 1예가 진단되었다. 비특이적 복부 증상으로 시행한 경우의 병변발견율은 42.9%(6/14)였는데, 증상과 관련있는 경우는 1예에 불과하였다. 캡슐내시경 검사로 인한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 결론적으로, 캡슐내시경은 소장질환에 대해 안전하고 비침습적인 검사법이며, 소장출혈에 대해 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그러나, 출혈 이외의 복부증상에 대해서는 더 연구가 필요하다.

This paper presents the design and analysis of LNA-Mixer for 2.45GHz RFID reader. The LNA is implemented by PCSNIM method for low power consumption. The Mixer is implemented by using the Gilbert-type configuration, current bleeding technique, and the resonating technique for the tail capacitance. The connection between the two designed circuits is made by active balun. This LNA-Mixer has about 35dB for -40dBm input RF power, LO power is 0dBm and RF frequency is 2.45 GHz and IIP3 is -4dBm. The layout of LNA-Mixer for one-chip design in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ TSMC process has 2.6mm ${\times}$ 1.3mm size.

This investigation was undertaken to determine the relationship between the amount of polymorphonuclear leukocyte(PMN) enzyme myeloperoxidase(MPO) in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) collected from active or control site and gingival disease status described by clinical indices(gingival index, papillary bleeding index, pocket depth, periotron unit). The results were as follows : 1. MPO activity/site was greater at active sites than at control sites. 2. According to increasing the clinical parameters, MPO/sites was higher statistically (P<0. 01, P<0.05). 3. High MPO(unit/site) groups was higher statistically than low MPO(unit/site) groups in various clinical parameters. 4. Correlation coefficients between MPO(unit/site) and GI, MPO($unit/{\mu}l$ GCF) and periotron unit were 0.4782, -0.5901, respectively.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) on the clinical parameters in trauma patients. Methods: From January 2011 to March 2013, the records of a total of 102 trauma patients with BAC data were analyzed retrospectively. The revised trauma score (RTS), injury severity score (ISS), presence of shock, use of mechanical ventilation and blood transfusion, length of hospital stay, and mortality were collected. Patients were divided into four groups in accordance with the level of BAC: group A (<100 mg/dL), B (100~200 mg/dL), C (200~250 mg/dL), and D (>250 mg/dL). Patients were also divided into two groups depending on the presence of the shock, and gender, ISS, BAC, and presence of active bleeding were compared between these two groups. Results: No statistically significant differences in the ISS, RTS, presence of active bleeding, use of mechanical ventilation, and mortality were noted between groups A to D. However, the presence of shock was significantly higher in group D. After patients with severe chest injuries had been excluded, mechanical ventilation was found to have been applied more frequently in the higher BAC groups (C and D). A logistic regression analysis of these factors showed that extremely high BAC (>250 mg/dL) was an independent indicator of shock. Conclusion: High BAC is a predicator of shock and the need for mechanical ventilation in patients with trauma, regardless of injury severity. Alcohol intoxication leads to an overestimate of the clinical condition and aggressive management for trauma patients. Thus, a guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of patients intoxicated with alcohol is necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a higher Injury Severity Score (ISS) could serve as an indicator of splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic lacerations. Methods: A total of 256 cases of splenic laceration were collected from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2018. After the application of exclusion criteria, 105 were eligible for this study. Charts were reviewed for demographic characteristics, initial vital signs upon presentation to the emergency room, Glasgow Coma Scale, computed tomography findings, ISS, and treatment strategies. The cases were then divided into nonsplenectomy and splenectomy groups for analysis. Results: When analyzed with the chi-square test and t-test, splenectomy was associated with a systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg, a Glasgow Coma Scale score lower than 13, active bleeding found on computed tomography, a splenic laceration grade greater than or equal to 4, and an ISS greater than 15 at presentation. However, in multivariate logistic regression analysis, only active bleeding on computed tomography showed a statistically significant relationship (P=0.014). Conclusions: Although ISS failed to show a statistically significant independent relationship with splenectomy, it may still play a supplementary role in traumatic splenic injury management.

Background: Hemorrhoid surgery is a frequently performed surgery in Korea, second only to cataract surgery. However, it has serious complications, including bleeding, infection, anal stenosis, and urinary retention, so active conservative therapies are in need at an early stage. Case summary: Thirteen patients with anal disease complained of main symptoms of pain, bleeding, and prolapse, with additional complaints of itching and mucus discharge. An herbal medicine mixture of Eulja-tang and Hwangryeonhaedok-tang was administered twice daily, and dry cupping therapy, acupuncture, and hot pack placements were administered on pelvic and sacral regions once weekly for four weeks. The symptoms were evaluated before and each week after the treatments. The treatments had statistically significant therapeutic effects. Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment-effectively alleviating the symptoms of anal disease, such as pain, bleeding, and prolapse-may represent an alternative therapy for conservative treatments in the early stages of anal disease.

Active treatment of periodontal disease consists of plaque control by the patient, with root planing and surgery perfomed by the dental practitioner. Chlorhexidine rinse has been the most effective antiplaque agent available today and tetracycline has been the most favored antibiotics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was compared the different effect among groups(saline mouthrinse[group I], 0.125% chlorhexidine mouthrinse [groupII], and 0.125% chlorhexidine mouthrinse containing tetracycline[groupIII]) during the immediate post periodontal therapy. We assessed plaque index, gingival index, papillary bleediing index, gingival crevicular volume, periodontal attachment loss, and periodontal pocket depth in 3 sites per subject. The assessment was made at baseline. At 1 week after scaling, and at 2 weeks after curettage. All groups were clinically and statistically reduced plaque score, gingival score, papillary bleeding score, and gingival crevicular volume at 2 weeks after curettage. Group II was significantly reduced periodontal pocket depth.(P<0.05) At 1 week after scaling, al clinical index scores were reduced but not singificantly difference between the groups.(p>0.05) At 2 weeks after curettage, plaque score, gingival score and papillary bleeding score were significantly difference between the groups.(P<0.05) During the experimental period, gingiva was not damaged and stain of the tongue or teeth were not noted in all groups.

Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) must undergo corrective surgeries during infancy and early childhood. Many patients with CLP undergo orthognathic surgery during their childhood for correction of skeletal asymmetries or pharyngoplasty with a pharyngeal flap to improve the quality of speech and velopharyngeal function. During orthognathic surgeries, nasotracheal intubation is performed under general anesthesia. In our case report, the patient had undergone palatoplasty and pharygoplasty previously. During the orthognathic surgery, a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided nasotracheal tube was inserted through the pharyngeal flap ostium; however, active bleeding occurred in the nasopharynx. Bleeding occurred because the flap was torn. After achieving hemostasis, the surgery was completed successfully. Thus, if a patient may show the potential for velopharyngeal port obstruction, nasotracheal intubation should be performed with utmost care.
