One woman, Sixty three years old, suffered from chest pain, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting for about three months. Although many examinations, brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), chest computed tomography(CT), abdominal CT, gastric endoscope, abdominal ultrasonography, and so forth, was performed from every point of view, those were non-significant. At first, I wrongly diagnosed her case as disease of Soumin and gave Soumin Gwakhyangjeongkisan. But she complained of diarrhea and chest discomfort. I re-diagnosed her case as Soyangin Gyeolhyung and treated with Hyeongbangdojeoksan, herbal medicine, consisted of Rhizoma Rehmanniae(生地黃), Lignum Akebiae(木通), Radix Scrophulariae(玄蔘), Semen Trichosanthis(瓜蔞仁), etc. Three weeks have passed from first visit and she did not suffered from pain. I experienced the excellent effect of Hyeongbangdojeoksan to Soyangin Gyeonlhyung.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized education protocol for peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: First, the demand for education was investigated from the 27 patients on peritoneal dialysis and 16 guardians, and later, the standardized nursing education protocol has been developed through the comprehensive literature review and the critical analysis of the related studies. Contents validity and applicability have been tested through the expert group survey. Results: The standardized peritoneal dialysis nursing education protocol with 9 areas and 20 items has been developed. The content validity for timing and duration, contents, method, and place of education proposed by the protocol were all above than 0.8. In terms of the applicability of the protocol, the experts scored between 4.20 to 4.93 for all items except one. The item on home visit education acquired the lowest applicability score, because there might exist potential restrictions in visiting patient's home. Conclusion: The standardized education protocol developed in this study turned out to be adequate by representing high content validity for all items and the applicability also was high except the item on home visit education. Further researches to test the effects of this education protocol should be done.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this was to translate Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation(PRTEE) into Korean and identify the reliability and validity of a Korean version of PRTEE. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 32 patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis. The subjects were surveyed using a Korean version of PRTEE three times: at the first visit, one week after, and two weeks after. This questionnaire consisted of 15 questions including 5 questions about pain and 10 questions about functions. Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to measure reliability and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were used to assess internal consistency. In addition, the validity of the survey results was examined by correlating a visual analogue scale with the outcome of holding without pain. RESULTS: Test-retest reliability of Korea version PRTEE was good total ICC= .962 (CI=.922-,982). Cronbach's alpha value for PRTEE was found to be .955 and it was statistically significant (p<.05). The positive correlation between PRTEE and VAS was moderate to high (r=.753, P=.00) and statistically significant. There was also a low significant negative correlation between PRTEE and PFG (r=-.362, P=.042). CONCLUSION: The Korean version of PRTEE had reliability and validity. Therefore, it is a useful measure to evaluate the conditions of patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Purpose: Craniosynostosis of three or more cranial sutures was not common. "Mercedes Benz pattern," named by Moore1 was a rare form of craniosynostosis and had an atypical pattern of premature closure of cranial suture. It was not reported in Republic of Korea. We report this case with literature review. Methods: A 13-months-old male patient visited our clinic due to exophthalmos. He showed normal developmental course. Other neurological tests were normal but he was Crouzon syndrome patient. CT scans showed bilateral lambdoid and posterior sagittal sutures were fused and the length of the skull was extended. Cranioplasty with pi craniotomy & Barrel-Stave osteotomy and recombination of the bone flap was performed. Results: The patient was discharged after post operative 10 days without any complications. In follow up visit after 2.7 years, he was in good state without recurrence and functional abnormality of skull. Conclusion: This was the first case of Mercedes Benz pattern craniosynostosis with Crouzon syndrome in Korea. This type of craniosynostosis has to be considered differently from single type of craniosynostosis or typical syndromic craniosynostosis clinically and surgically.

Objectives: Patients with excessive tooth wear should first be diagnosed for the etiology of the tooth wear. Causes of tooth wear include bruxism, clenching, and taking medications for systemic diseases. After identifying the cause of tooth attrition, the final prosthesis should be restored with an appropriate vertical dimension. Methods: A 79-year-old man with worn out teeth desired a whole dental treatment. He was on medications for high blood pressure and asthma. The treatment proceeded with a consultation with a medical doctor. The medications for asthma evoked multiple teeth wear and a loss of the vertical dimension. After recovery of 3 mm of vertical dimension, 2 months of evaluation was followed by an interim prosthesis. Results: The increased vertical dimension caused no problem in function and esthetics, and the final restoration was performed with a full monolithic zirconia crown. Group function, adequate anterior guidance, and the occlusal plane were determined. Conclusions: After the final restoration, the patient was both esthetically and functionally satisfied, and a night guard splint was delivered to prevent prosthesis fracture. The patient was informed about the potential tooth wear associated with asthma drugs and educated to visit the clinic regularly.

무치악 환자에게서 의치의 제작은 통상적이고 전통적인 방법을 따를 경우 최종 의치 장착까지 여러 단계를 거쳐야 하며 이로 인한 환자의 잦은 내원이 불가피하다. 또한 기공 과정 상에서 나타나는 중합수축에 의한 오차나, 의치의 파절이나 분실 시 빠른 재제작의 어려움 등의 단점이 존재하였다. 하지만 최근 치과 분야에서 computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) System이 사용되기 시작하였고, 의치 제작에까지 그 영역을 넓히기 시작하였다. CAD/CAM System을 이용하여 의치를 제작하면 첫 번째 내원 시에 인상채득과 악간관계의 기록, 인공치의 선택 등이 동시에 이루어지고 두 번째 내원 시 의치의 장착이 가능하기 때문에 환자의 내원 횟수와 진료시간을 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한 3D-Printing 기술을 이용하기 때문에 중합수축에 의한 기공 오차를 감소시킬 수 있다. 현재 상용화 되어 있는 CAD/CAM System을 사용한 의치로는 DENTCA CAD/CAM denture (DENTCA Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA)가 있다. 본 증례에서는 상, 하악 완전 무치악 환자에게서 conventional 한 방법과 DENTCA CAD/CAM Denture System을 사용하는 방법을 동시에 사용하여 두 쌍의 총의치로 수복함으로써 발음, 저작, 연하 등의 기능적인 측면뿐만 아니라 심미적인 측면에서도 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Patient with complaints of swelling, pain in the maxillaly region and discomfort visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital in August last year. Clinical examination and diagnostic imagings implied he was suffered from fungal hyphal infection but no causative fungus was found by the histopathologic and microbiologic investigation. Therefore he was diagnosed with nonspecific inflammation. But as yet, we do think this case is very similar to some kinds of mucormycosis. So we presented this case for more thorough discussion.Followings are founded in the examination. 1. Patient had suffered from Diabetes mellitus and complained of stuffness, headache, swelling in buccal cheeks and paresthesia And we found more maxillary bony destruction and ulcer with elevated margin in the palate by clinical examination. 2. In the first visit, Plain films revealed general bony destruction of the maxilla, radiopaqueness in the sinonasal cavities. or and MRI showed soft tissue mass filled in the paranasal sinus except frontal sinus and bony destruction in involved bones. 3. No causative bacteria and fungus was found in the biopsy and microbiologic cultures. 4. Caldwell-Luc operation and curettage were carried and antJbiotics were taken for 4 months. But now he was worse than in the past 5. In the second visit, involvement of orbit, parapharyngeal sinus, clivus, cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa were seen clearly in the or and MRI.
