목 적 : 선천성 또는 신생아시기에 위험요인을 가진 환아에서 조기 난청의 발생율이 높으며, 지연성 또는 진행성으로 발생하는 난청의 상당 부분도 신생아시기에 위험요인이 있었던 환아에서 발생 한다. 따라서 위험군을 효과적으로 선별하고 관리하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구는 다양한 위험인자를 발견 할 수 있는 신생아 집중 치료실 입원환자를 대상으로 청력선별검사를 시행하고 난청 발생 빈도와 위험인자들간의 관계 및 상대적인 중요성을 알아보았다. 방 법 : 2003년 5월부터 2005년 12월까지 좋은문화병원 신생아 집중치료실에 입원한 신생아 1,201명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사는 입원원인질환에서 회복되고 교정연령 36주 이상, 체중 2,200 g이상 되었을 때 자동뇌간유발반응검사(AABR. ALGO-3)를 시행하였으며 1차 청력검사에서 통과된 경우 'pass'군 통과하지 못한 경우 'refer'군으로 하였다. 첫 번째 검사에서 'refer'가 나온 경우 1개월 뒤에 재검사를 받도록 하였고 재검사에서 'refer'가 나온 경우 난청 클리닉에 의뢰하여 난청을 확진하였다. 결 과 : 총 1,201명중 1,187명(98.8%)은 청력검사를 통과 하였고 14명(1.2%)이 난청으로 진단되었다. 대상자중 293명(24.4%)이 위험인자를 가지고 있었으며, 이중 282(96.2%)이 통과 하였고, 11명(3.8%)이 난청으로 진단되었다. 위험군에서 난청의 발생빈도가 유의하게 높았다(P<0.001). 각 위험인자들 중에서 난청발생에 유의한 차이를 보인 것은 청력손상을 일으키는 약물의 사용(P<0.001), 출생체중 1,500 g 이하(P<0.001), 안면부 기형(P=0.007) 등이었다. 반면에 위험인자 중 선천성 감염, 고빌리루 빈혈증, 세균성 뇌수막염, 낮은 Apgar점수, 5일 이상의 인공호흡기 사용, 청력 이상을 나타내는 증후군 등은 'pass'군과 'refer'군 사이에 발생 빈도에 있어서 통계적으로 의미가 없었다. 결 론 : 적절한 시기에 난청을 진단하기 위해서 신생아 청력선별검사 뿐만 아니라 난청의 위험요소를 잘 파악하는 것도 중요하다.

This paper introduces an experimental study for the noise characteristics and reduction of a ventilating fan system. For the purpose of noise reduction of it, an absorptive duct silencer filled with a glass fiber has been conventionally utilized. However, a glass fiber has some disadvantages like hygiene and secondary pollution problems. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper, a perforated duct silencer has been applied to the ventilating fan system. For the designing of a perforated duct silencer, the transmission losses for various perforated panel systems are measured and compared with their sound absorption performances.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of resorbable blasting media surface tapered implant. Methods: 169 Osstem$^{(R)}$ GS III dental implants in 73 patients who received implant treatments at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, were included in this study. The incidence of biological and prosthetical complications has been carefully analysed for each implant. Results: The short-term implant survival rate was 97.63%, success rate 94.7%. The prevalence of biological complications was 15.38% and the prevalence of prosthetic complications was 13.04%. The mean value of crestal bone loss was $0.28{\pm}0.57$ mm. The relationship between loading periods and marginal bone loss was small and not statistically significant. In mandible, marginal bone loss was larger than in maxilla, no statistically significant. Also, length and diameter of implant had no relationship with marginal bone loss. Conclusion: We suggest that this implant system could achieve successful and stable results.

Objective : Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a safe and effective treatment with favorable outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of delayed cranirve (VI, VII, and VIII) palsy following MVD and its clinical courses. Methods : Between January 1998 and December 2009, 1354 patients underwent MVD for HFS at our institution. Of them, 100 patients (7.4%) experienced delayed facial palsy (DFP), one developed sixth nerve palsy, and one patient had delayed hearing loss. Results : DFP occurred between postoperative day number 2 and 23 (average 11 days). Ninety-two patients (92%) completely recovered; however, House-Brackmann grade II facial weakness remained in eight other patients (8%). The time to recovery averaged 64 days (range, 16 days to 9 months). Delayed isolated sixth nerve palsy recovered spontaneously without any medical or surgical treatment after 8 weeks, while delayed hearing loss did not improve. Conclusion : Delayed cranial nerve (VI, VII, and VIII) palsies can occur following uncomplicated MVD for HFS. DFP is not an unusual complication after MVD, and prognosis is fairly good. Delayed sixth nerve palsy and delayed hearing loss are extremely rare complications after MVD for HFS. We should consider the possibility of development of these complications during the follow up for MVD.

Objectives: We carried out an observational study of the effects of Nei Guan (P6) and Gong Sun (SP4) acupuncture for the treatment of CINV, preparing for further randomized controlled trial study. This is a case series to explore the changes in the incidence of CINV by acupuncture. Methods: Patients reported a Rhodex index indicating the severity of nausea and vomiting and loss of appetite, before acupuncture, after acupuncture and 1-week follow-up examination. Twelve patients with CINV participated in this study. We included patients receiving chemotherapeutic agents that might induce moderate or severe nausea and vomiting. We conducted 5 treatment sessions with P6 and SP4 acupuncture over the course of 5 days. Results: The median Rhodex score were decreased in 5 patients over time, while we observed loss of appetite of 6 patients were improved over time. During the study, the mean of Rhodex of total patients revealed a decrease of Day 1, Day 7, Day 14; 0.74, 0.68, 0.38, respectively, while the mean of loss of appetite showed a decrease of Day 1, Day 7, Day 14; 5.25, 4.08, 4.00, respectively. Conclusions: The study gives a preliminary data that manual acupuncture of P6 and SP4 may reduce the severity of CINV and loss of appetite, and justifies further study.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Malnutrition during hospitalization is linked to increased morbidity and mortality, but there are insufficient studies observing clinical factors contributing to weight loss during hospitalization in Indonesia. This study was therefore undertaken to determine the rate of weight loss during hospitalization and the contributing factors. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This was a prospective study involving hospitalized adult patients aged 18-59 yrs, conducted between July and September 2019. Body weight measurement was taken at the time of admission and on the last day of hospitalization. The factors studied were malnutrition at admission (body mass index < 18.5 kg/m²), immobilization, depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II Indonesia), polypharmacy, inflammatory status (neutrophil-lymphocytes ratio; NLR), comorbidity status (Charlson Comorbidity Index; CCI), and length of stay. RESULTS: Totally, 55 patients were included in the final analysis, with a median age of 39 (18-59 yrs) yrs. Of these, 27% had malnutrition at admission, 31% had a CCI score > 2, and 26% had an NLR value of ≥ 9. In all, 62% presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, and depression was documented in one-third of the subjects at admission. Overall, we recorded a mean weight loss of 0.41 kg (P = 0.038) during hospitalization, with significant weight loss observed among patients hospitalized for 7 days or more (P = 0.009). The bivariate analysis revealed that inflammatory status (P = 0.016) was associated with in-hospital weight loss, while the multivariate analysis determined that the contributing factors were length of stay (P < 0.001) and depression (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: We found that inflammatory status of the patient might influence the incidence of weight loss during hospitalization, while depression and length of stay were independent predictors of weight loss during hospitalization.

Purpose: This research was performed to determine which clinical signs and symptoms of brain injury are sensitive indicators of skull fracture (SF) and intracranial injury (ICI) in head injured children. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of minor head trauma in children younger than 2 years of age for a 1-year period. Skull radiographs, brain computed tomography (CT), and data forms, including mechanism of injury, symptoms, physical findings, and hospital course, were completed for each child. Results: Of 137 study subjects, 17 (12.4%) had SF/ICI. Falls were the most common mechanism of injury, and heights of fall above 1 meter were associated with incidence of SF/ICI (p<0.05). Scalp abnormalities were not associated with incidence of SF/ICI. As for clinical symptoms, lethargy and a grouping of features (irritability & vomiting) were associated with incidence of SF/ICI (p<0.05). The incidence of seizure, loss of consciousness, vomiting, irritability, and scalp abnormality did not differ significantly between those with normal radiologic findings and those with SF/ICI. Among asymptomatic patients, 11 (14.5%) patients had SF/ICI, and among patients with normal scalp findings, 9 (12.7%) patients had SF/ICI. Conclusion: Clinical signs and symptoms, except for lethargy and a grouping of features (irritability & vomiting), were not sensitive predictors of SF/ICI. Nevertheless, SF/ICI occurred among normal children. In such a case, a liberal policy of CT scanning is warranted.

This retrospective study was to analyze the inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve damage after the removal of mandibular third molars. In this questionnaire study, the subjects chosen for this study were 2472 dentists who answered the questionnaire about numbness after the extraction of lower third molars. The data collected by E-mail and web site included the incidence of removal of the lower third molars, the incidence and the experience of numbness of the inferior alveolar nerve and lingual nerve, rate and duration of recovery, the influence in day life after the long-term sensory loss, the period and amount of the indemnity in the case of medical dispute. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The experience rate and the incidence rate of the inferior alveolar nerve numbness by oral surgeons in the past year were19.9% and 0.14%. Those of the lingual nerve by oral surgeon were 7.7% and 0.05%.2. The experience rate and the incidence rate of the inferior alveolar nerve numbness by the dentists except oral surgeons in the past year were 9.7% and 0.19%. Those of the lingual nerve by the dentists except oral surgeons were 5.5% and 0.11%.3. The recovery rate of the inferior alveolar nerve after 1 year and 2 years were 85.6% and 91.3%. The recovery rate of the lingual nerve after 1 year and 2 years were 84.8% and 89.3%.In conclusion, most of numbness may be recovered within 2 years. However the possibility of long term and persistent numbness should not be neglected. Therefore practitioner must inform the possibility of nerve injury and include this possibility in the consent forms.
