Objectives : 28 prescriptions with the name 'Dossi' can be found in Yixuerumen, and all these prescriptions are highly useful due to their clinical effectiveness. Among them, Dossisosihotang has an important role as the essential prescription utilizing harmonizing and releasing formula. Therefore, this paper aims to ponder upon this prescription. Methods : Dossisosihotang's origin and effectiveness were studied, and the findings served as the basis for analyzing the varied forms of this prescription which came about in the later generations in order to consider more detailed usage of this prescription. Results & Conclusions : Dossisosihotang directs its patient to consume sosihotang added with chenpi, shaoyao, chuanxiong, then simmered, and added with three spoons worth of raw wormwood juice. Its origin can be traced back to shachechuifa's 'Sihossanghaeeum,' and it is mainly effective for treating the blood aspect syndrome of lesser yang disease such as women's cold damage and heat entering the blood chamber. In treating the symptom of half-exterior and half-interior, taohua developed prescriptions depending on the syndrome, such as Sihijigyungtang, Sihohamhyoungtang, Samhosambacktang, Siryungtang, Sihosamultang, Sigalhaegitang, and Samhoseoggotang. These prescriptions became widely known for their clinical efficacy, leading to many later generations of clinical doctors to use them.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a simulation-based education program for newborn emergency care based on most needed topics found from the needs assessment. This study consisted of two phases: developing the program and evaluating its effectiveness. Methods: The effectiveness of the program was tested in July, 2012, with 49 junior nursing students from C Nursing College in Seoul, who did not have any clinical experience in newborn care. The experimental group was given a three-hour lecture, three hours of clinical training, and a two-hour simulation program, whereas the control group only had the three-hour lecture. Results: There was significant improvement in knowledge in both groups, but no significant differences according to educational methods. The experiment group was more confident of their care ($4.32{\pm}.29$) than the control group ($3.60{\pm}.29$) with the difference being significant (t=8.85, p<.001), and the experimental group was also more satisfied with the program (${\chi}^2$=4.60, p=.032). Conclusion: As the results indicate 'the neonatal emergency care program' increased learners' knowledge, confidence and satisfaction with the program, it should be integrated into clinical training in pediatric nursing curriculum and in-service programs for nurses. To increase generalization further verification studies with various learner groups are needed.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the partial split-flap technique with a K-incision on vertical guided bone regeneration (vGBR) and to retrospectively analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of dental implantation using this approach. Methods: In total, 78 patients who received 104 dental implants with vGBR, categorized as (1) pre-GBR and post-implantation and (2) simultaneous GBR and implantation, were enrolled. Data analysis was based on periapical radiographs, clinical photos, and dental records. The 2-sample t-test was used to compare the 2 surgical procedures. Results: The baseline vertical bone level, augmented bone height (ABH), and treatment duration were significantly higher in the pre-GBR procedure group. The survival rates of the implants were 96.1% and 94.8% in implant- and patient-based analyses, respectively. In Cox regression analysis, high rates of implant failure were found in the presence of ABH of ≥4 mm, smoking, and diabetes. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the partial split-flap technique using a K-incision for vGBR showed stable clinical outcomes and favorable dental implant survival.
