Small group activity in Korea was introduced from the United States as QC circle, ZD group movements and the like, but it has developed into a Korean style from so-called factory saemaul panel activities contributing much to the management of enterprises. Based on human motivation theory, the principles to activate small group activity is suggested on which a new diagnosis of small group activity is proposed here. It is consisted of checklist and radarchart. The factor to activate small group activity have been obtained in terms of multivariate analysis for data from the new diagnosis.

Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous element found in several forms in foods and environmental media, such as soil, air, and water. The primary route of human exposure is through ingestion of arsenic-contaminated food and drinking water. The predominant form of arsenic in drinking water is inorganic arsenic, which is both highly toxic and readily bioavailable.(omitted)

Objective : In Modern society, patients with facial nerve paralysis are increasing because of many factors - irregular life, cold, overwork and stress etc. We have troubles in presuming the prognosis, though how to diagnosis and examine facial nerve paralysis are many. Methods : A clinical study was done on 89 patients who were diagnosed and treated as facial nerve paralysis(Bell's palsy) from January 2001 to May 2003 at the Dep. of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, college of Oriental Medicine, Woo-suk University. We classified 89 patients as the Sasang(四象) constitution, contributing factor, season, age and existence of diabetes items and analyzed, as we would research differences of changing point-Period from on set of Bell's palsy to the day which the change begins to be seen at the face- and improvement -Period which Bell's palsy is improved from on set to H-B grade II. Results : 1. Among the Sasang constitution, Soeumin($10.67{\pm}3.77days$) were faster than other constitutions, but Soyangin($16.25{\pm}6.75days$) were slower than other constitutions in changing point. Taeumin($4.12{\pm}1.49weeks$) were shorter than other constitutions, but Soyangin($4.88{\pm}2.11weeks$) were longer than other constitutions in improvement. 2. Among contributing factors, overwork and stress group were slower than other contributing factors in changing point($13.95{\pm}6.52days$), and longer than others in improvement($4.67{\pm}1.87weeks$). 3. Changing point and improvement of season, age, and existence of diabetes had the difference of the average according to an each item, but they were not statistically significant. 4. In 89 patients with Bell's palsy, average changing-point was $13.11{\pm}5.99$(days) and average improvement was $4.47{\pm}1.82$(weeks). Their correlation was 0.687 and statistically significance(P<0.01), therefore we could decide that their relation is highly correlation.

In order to investigate the effects of family nursing intervention on workers' working attitude, the questionnaire survey was carried out on 31 workers who had experienced family nursing intervention and 31 workers who did not have experienced family nursing intervention. The structured questionnaire was constituted of 3 parts of the workers' working attitude, job satisfaction, interpersonal relationship and creativeness. The results were as follows ; 1. Mean score of working attitude for post-intervention was significantly higher in the intervention group(3.48) than in the control group(3.03). However, there was no significant difference that for pre-intervention between two groups. 2. Mean scores of the job satisfaction, interpersonal relationship and creativeness were significantly higher in the intervention group(4.12, 3.58, 4.06) than in control group(3.49, 3.09, 3.34) 3. The major contributing factor to the effect of family nursing intervention was sex(18.2%) and followed by nursing intervention(13.2%) in general. The major contributing factors were sex and working evaluation records in post-intervention in job satisfaction(15.1%), and nursing intervention and sex in creativeness (39.2%).

Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is common in pediatric knee injuries. PFI results from loss of balance in the dynamic relationship of the patella in the femoral trochlear groove. Patellar lateral dislocation, which is at the extreme of the PFI, results from medial stabilizer injury and leads to the patella hitting the lateral femoral condyle. Multiple contributing factors to PFI have been described, including anatomical variants and altered biomechanics. Femoral condyle dysplasia is a major risk factor for PFI. Medial stabilizer injury contributes to PFI by creating an imbalance in dynamic vectors of the patella. Increased Q angle, femoral anteversion, and lateral insertion of the patellar tendon are additional contributing factors that affect dynamic vectors on the patella. An imbalance in the dynamics results in patellofemoral malalignment, which can be recognized by the presence of patella alta, patellar lateral tilt, and lateral subluxation. Dynamic cross-sectional images are useful for in vivo tracking of the patella in patients with PFI. Therapeutic approaches aim to restore normal patellofemoral dynamics and prevent persistent PFI. In this article, the imaging findings of PFI, including risk factors and characteristic findings of acute lateral patellar dislocation, are reviewed. Non-surgical and surgical approaches to PFI in pediatric patients are discussed.

온도는 곤충의 발달, 성장, 생식에 중요한 요인이며, 또한 곤충의 생존에 직접적 관련있는 물리적 요인이다. 변온동물인 곤충은 생존을 위해 기후변화에 반응을 해야 하며, 저온과 같은 취약한 환경하에서도 다양한 생존전략을 발달시켜야 한다. 본 연구는 저온에 대한 적응에 기여하는 유전자를 동정하기 위해 배추좀나방 유충의 지방체를 저온과 상온에 노출시켜 전사체 분석을 수행하였다. 저온전사체에서는 chitinase, 표피단백질, Hsp23, chytochrome, Glutathione S transferase, phospholipase 2 유전자의 발현이 증가된 반면, 에너지 대사에 관여하는 UDP-당전이효소, trehalase, trehalose transporter는 오히려 발현이 감소하였다. 저온에 곤충이 노출되었을 때, 대사중심인 지방체의 유전자 발현의 변화가 곤충의 온도 적응을 이해하는 단서를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare patients with anterior shoulder instability who were treated with an open Bankart procedure with those treated with an arthroscopic procedure, and to evaluate factors influencing the final outcomes and recurrence. Materials & Methods : One hundred seven shoulders underwent open Bankart repair, and fifty-one shoulders were treated arthroscopically. Average followup for open group was 34 months, and for arthroscopy group was 25 months. The Bankart Rating System by Rowe was used to evaluate the clinical outcome of the procedure. And, the patients were asked about any changes concerning their sports and professional activities. Results: According to Bankart Rating system by Rowe, open group had 97% fair to excellent results with 2 recurrent dislocation(1.8%) and 4 recurrent subluxation(3.6%), and arthroscopy group had 94% fair to excellent results with 3 recurrent dislocation(5.8%) and 4 recurrent subluxation(8%). In open group, 9 shoulders(8.4%) had the mild limitation of range of motion at the time of followup, and 2 shoulders(3.9%) in arthroscopy group. Age and gender do not seem to be a significant factor contributing to an increased re-recurrence rate. The incidence of re-recurrence seems to be affected by dominance, frequency, and patient's activity. The size of Bank art lesion might be also considered as a contributing factor. Conclusion: Either open or arthroscopic Bankart procedures are safe and effective methods with acceptable results if an adequate patient's selection, precise surgical technique and proper postoperative care are done. And arthroscopic surgery could be considered if the anterior instability is non-dominant, non-athlete, traumatic unidirectional and Bankart lesion has minimal erosion of the glenoid and it has thick and mobile labrum.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the age factor would be related with stability of mandibular setback surgery for patients with mandibular prognathism. Materials and Methods: We compared the relapse patterns of 47 patients divided into three age groups (termed younger, adult, and older). The younger group consisted of patients between 15 and 17 years old; the adult group was made up of patients between 21 and 23 years old, and the older group was made up of patients more than 40 years old. The positional change of B point was evaluated at preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up states. Results: The horizontal relapse ratio was 21.7% in the younger group, 15.3% in the adult group, and 15.7% in the older group. Although relatively higher degrees of relapse were found in the younger group, this increase was not statistically significant. Spearman's correlation analysis was performed to explore other factors contributing to relapse. We subsequently found that the amount of relapse was related to horizontal setback. Conclusion: Although the degree of relapse in younger patients is not significant;y higher compared to other groups. The major contributing factor to relapse after sagittal split ramus osteotomy is amount of setback rather than age when the surgery was performed to patients over than 15 years of age.
