  • The purpose of this study is to explore the treatment pattern of treatment of patients with arthritis. The grounded theory approach methodology was used in this study. The purposive sampling was conducted. 16 subjects who experienced RA, lived in middle sized city in Korea, and all women The results of this study were as follows : 1. The process of treatment was composed of the stage of symptom experience and the stage of sick role experience. The naming of the symptom was conducted in the stage of symptom experience through, the doctor shopping. The sick role experience was patterned by the choice of the treatment mode. 2. The treatment modes were roughly devided by western medicine and oriental or ethnic medicine. Several factors which affected the choice of the treatment mode were patient's economic state, educational level, religion, the acknowledgement of the cause of illness, duration of illness, lay referral system, the relationship of medical staff, and the acculturation of medical professionalism. The key component of the decision of the treatment was the level of the acculturation of medical professionalism. To enhance the acculturation of medical professionalism, we have to provide the information of cause and the prognosis of the disease to the patients and the variety of communication channel between medical staff and patients, and we should understand the medical culture according to the ages, gender, locations in Korea.

  • Clarification is needed regarding the definitions and classification of groove and hollowness of the infraorbital region depending on the cause, anatomical characteristics, and appearance. Grooves in the infraorbital region can be classified as nasojugal grooves (or folds), tear trough deformities, and palpebromalar grooves; these can be differentiated based on anatomical characteristics. They are caused by the herniation of intraorbital fat, atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous fat, contraction of the orbital part of the orbicularis oculi muscle or squinting, and malar bone resorption. Safe and successful treatment requires an optimal choice of filler and treatment method. The choice between a cannula and needle depends on various factors; a needle is better for injections into a subdermal area in a relatively safe plane, while a cannula is recommended for avoiding vascular compromise when injecting filler into a deep fat layer and releasing fibrotic ligamentous structures. The injection of a soft-tissue filler into the subcutaneous fat tissue is recommended for treating mild indentations around the orbital rim and nasojugal region. Reducing the tethering effect of ligamentous structures by undermining using a cannula prior to the filler injection is recommended for treating relatively deep and fine indentations. The treatment of mild prolapse of the intraorbital septal fat or broad flattening of the infraorbital region can be improved by restoring the volume deficiency using a relatively firm filler.

  • The occlusal disharmonies resulted from labially protruded or malpositioned teeth can damage the periodontium and induce the non-inflammatory gingival recession. For these cases, a conservative approach was performed by improving oral hygiene and correcting the axial and positional status of the gingivally recessed teeth and removing the prematurely contacted areas. In some cases, rapid remission of tooth mobility and gradual decrease of gingival recession was observed just after start of treatment. In cases of gingival recession in permanent lower incisors of the children with mixed dentition, the treatment of choice is non-surgical conservative approaches. In cases when the gingival inflammation can be controlled through reinforcing the oral hygiene, when attached gingiva have a potential to increase in width through growth (not more than 1 year after eruption or not yet arrived at adult level), and when the recession can be corrected by moving the teeth from labial cortical plate through orthodontic treatment, the conservative measures would be the first choice. On the contrary, when recession has exceeded beyond the level of CEJ, when the gingival inflammation existed with the cause of poor oral hygiene, when the attached gingiva have little potential to increase (for example, more than 8 years after eruption), and when the conservative measures yielded no benefit after 4-8 weeks of treatment, the surgical approaches should be sought.

  • Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second principal cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, including Malaysia. This study focused on media choice and attempted to determine the communication channels mostly used and preferred by women in seeking information and knowledge about breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out to examine the breast cancer prevention information seeking behavior among 450 students at one private university in Malaysia. Results: The mean age of respondents was $25{\pm}4.3years$. Common interpersonal information sources were doctors, friends, and nurses and common channel information sources were television, brochure, and internet. Overall, 89.9% used cell phones, 46.1% had an interest in receiving cell phone breast cancer prevention messages, 73.9% used text messaging, and 36.7% had an interest in receiving text breast cancer prevention messages. Bivariate analysis revealed significant differences among age, eduation, nationality and use of cell phones. Conclusions: Assessment of health information seeking behavior is important for community health educators to target populations for program development.

  • 이갈이는 이를 갈거나 악무는 것을 포함하는 부기능적인 행위를 말하며 광범위하게는 주간 및 야간에 나타나는 것을 모두 포함한다. 이갈이의 원인으로는 기본적으로 말초성 요인과 중추성 요인으로 나누어 살펴볼 수 있는데 현재까지의 연구 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 중추성 요인이 주로 작용하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 이갈이는 교모, 치경부 미세파절, 교근 비대, 교근 및 측두근의 통증, 턱관절의 통증 및 움직임의 제한, 치아 및 수복물 파절, 치수염, 외상성 교합 등을 유발 할 수 있고 특히 이악물기의 경우 협점막 압흔이나 협점막 백선 또는, 혀의 측면에 압흔 등을 유발한다. 이갈이의 정확한 진단을 위해 구강내 장치, 근전도, 수면다원검사 등을 이용하며 미국수면장애학회의 경우 이갈이의 임상 진단 기준을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 이갈이의 명확한 원인이 밝혀져 있지 않기 때문에 치료법의 선택은 신중하여야 한다. 이갈이가 중등도 이상이고 임상 증상이나 징후를 유발하는 경우에 이갈이를 관리하기 위한 방법으로는 위험 요인의 조절, 구강내 장치, 보툴리눔 독소 주사, 약물 치료, 바이오피드백 등이 있으며 구강내 장치 요법이 현재로서 가장 합리적인 방법이다. 이갈이 치료와 교근비대에 대한 심미적인 개선을 같이 원하는 환자에서는 보툴리눔 독소 주사 요법이 이용될 수 있다.

  • Carotid cavernous sinus fistula(CCSF) is an abnormal communication at the base of the skull between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Fistula is almost associated with extensive facial trauma as a result of direct or indirect forces. Most fistulas of traumatic origin develop as a result of fractures through the base of the skull, which cause the laceration of the internal carotid artery near the cavernous sinus. The signs and symptoms of CCSF are pulsating exophthalmosis, orbital headache, pain, orbital or frontal bruit, loss of visual acuity, diplopia and ophthalmoplegia. Angiography reveals a definite CCSF and a detachable balloon embolization is known to be the treatment of choice. Even though carotid cavernous sinus fistula is an uncommon complication after orthognathic surgery, several cases of CCSF due to congenital anomalies, pre-existing aneurysms and abnormally thickened maxillary posterior wall have been reported in the literature. We have experienced a case of CCSF after Le Fort I osteotomy for maxillary advancement in skeletal class III patient and the cause, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this case.

  • Smokers keep smoking despite knowing that tobacco claims many lives, including their own and others'. What makes it hard for them to quit smoking nonetheless? Tobacco companies insist that smokers choose to smoke, according to their right to self-determination. Moreover, they insist that with motivation and willpower to quit smoking, smokers can easily stop smoking. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to discuss the addictive disease called tobacco use disorder, with an assessment of the addictiveness of tobacco and the reasons why smoking cessation is challenging, based on neuroscientific research. Nicotine that enters the body via smoking is rapidly transmitted to the central nervous system and causes various effects, including an arousal response. The changes in the nicotine receptors in the brain due to continuous smoking lead to addiction symptoms such as tolerance, craving, and withdrawal. Compared with other addictive substances, including alcohol and opioids, tobacco is more likely to cause dependence in smokers, and smokers are less likely to recover from their dependence. Moreover, the thinning of the cerebral cortex and the decrease in cognitive functions that occur with aging accelerate with smoking. Such changes occur in the structure and functions of the brain in proportion to the amount and period of smoking. In particular, abnormalities in the neural circuits that control cognition and decision-making cause loss of the ability to exert self-control and autonomy. This initiates nicotine dependence and the continuation of addictive behaviors. Therefore, smoking is considered to be a behavior that is repeated due to dependence on an addictive substance, nicotine, instead of one's choice by free will.

  • This study has surveyed the problems raised through the standardization process of differentiation system and searched its solution, reaching the following conclusion. 1. The most serious problem is, most frequently occurred, an wilful application of differentiation system or constitutive classification for disease. 2. To overcome this wilfulness, we must make a definite understanding of the origin and its applicative limit of the theory. 3. And it must be preceded for a correct and objective differentiation to standardize in all choice of the differential diagnostics and its applicative condition. 4. To establish such a corresponding diagnostic scheme, it must be generally agreed on an individuality and inevitability of the suitability to differentiation principles. 5. And, though we can make a prescription through the frequency, degree, and clarified cause of the symptom, its flexibility of application must not be necessarily, ignored. 6. As this study for standardizing the disharmony between liver and pancreas(肝脾不調) shows, accordingly, we must begin by scrutinizing and defining what the chief cause, head, and inevitable symtoms are and discern them from its affinities, making necessarily a great deal attention to minute feelings and degree about its individual symptoms. On the ground of these recognition, we must go further to establish a general standardization and try to get a specific study series.
