The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of complex Korean Medicine treatment for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries with meniscus tear. Four patients were treated with complex Korean Medicine by acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and herbal medication. We evaluated the improvement of knee pain and function by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC Index), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ-5D Index). After treatment, we found that knee pain was reduced and joint function was improved by NRS and WOMAC index in all cases. In the evaluation of health-related quality of life through EQ-5D index, there was no significant difference in patients with degenerative knee osteoarthritis and severe meniscal injury. This results show that complex Korean Medicine may be an effective option for ACL injuries with meniscus tear. Further clinical studies are needed to clarify the effect of Korean Medicine therapy on ACL injuries with meniscus tear.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the existing classification and difficulty index of impacted mandibular third molars in clinical situations and propose a more practical classification system. Materials and Methods: This study included 204 impacted mandibular third molars in 154 patients; panoramic x-ray images were obtained before tooth extraction. Factors including age, sex, and pattern of impaction were investigated. All impacted third molars were classified and scored for spatial relationship (1-5 points), depth (1-4 points), and ramus relationship (1-3 points). All variables were measured twice by the same observer at a minimum interval of one month. Finally, the difficulty index was defined based on the total points scored as slightly difficult (3-4 points), moderately difficult (5-7 points), very difficult (8-10 points), and extremely difficult (11-12 points). Results: The strength of agreement of the total points scored and difficulty index were 0.855 and 0.746, respectively. Most cases were classified as moderately difficult (73.0%). Although only 13 out of 204 cases (6.4%) were classified as extremely difficult, patients classified as extremely difficult were the oldest (P<0.05). Conclusion: For difficulty classification, the authors propose one more difficult category beyond the existing three-step difficulty index: the clinician should consider the patient's age in the difficulty index evaluation.

산불은 한번 발생하면 기상, 지형 등 여러 악조건으로 인해 효과적인 진화가 어려워 넓은 면적으로 확대되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 산불의 예방이 중요하기 때문에 세계 각국에 다양한 산불위험지수와 예측시스템이 존재한다. 그러나 이러한 산불위험지수 및 지면건조지수가 우리나라의 산불발생에 적용가능한지에 대한 객관적인 평가는 이루어진 바 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 1.5km 격자의 LDAPS(Local Analysis and Prediction System) 기상자료 및 1km 격자의 MODIS(Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 위성자료를 활용하여 각종 산불위험지수와 지면건조지수의 우리나라 산불발생에 대한 민감도분석을 수행하고자 한다. 기상기반 산불위험지수로는 호주의 FFDI(forest fire danger index), 캐나다의 FFMC(fine fuel moisture code), 미국의 HI(Haines index), 그리고 학술연구에서 제시된 MNI(modified Nesterov index)를 산출하였고, 위성기반 지면건조지수인 NDDI(normalized difference drought index)와 TVDI(temperature vegetation dryness index)를 산출하여 우리나라 산불발생에 대한 적용가능성 실험을 수행하였다. 2013년 1월부터 2017년 5월까지 발생한 피해면적 1ha가 넘는 산불 120건과 6종류의 지수를 비교한 결과, FFDI는 피해면적 10ha가 넘는 모든 산불에 대하여 극도로 높은 CDF(cumulative density function) 값을 나타냈으며, FFDI와 FFMC는 피해면적 3ha가 넘는 산불에 대하여 평균 CDF 값이 0.95가 넘게 나타나는 등 매우 우수한 성능을 보였다. 반면, MNI는 이슬점온도와 기온의 차이가 크지 않은 우리나라의 계절적 특성 때문에 2월의 산불예측을 거의 하지 못하였고, TVDI는 전체적으로 산불발생에 대한 민감도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. NDDI는 피해면적의 크기에 상관없이 평균 CDF 값이 안정적으로 높게 산출되어 위성기반 지면건조지수로서 보조적인 활용가능성이 있을 것으로 보인다. 이러한 산불위험지수와 지면건조지수를 취사선택 및 융합하여 활용한다면, 우리나라 산불예측에 일조할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Process capability implies the qualitative capability of a process, and it is necessary to specify the process capability by quantification and to evaluate the level with the specified standardizaion. But the process capability index is currently used to evaluate the performance of quality control activity. without considering the characteristics of process structure or the economy of management. Here the researcher would like to redefine process capability and emphasize its index may be used as the measure of managerial assessment and the objective of process quality control in full consideration of the economic aspects of process characteristics. Too little or too much process capability causes a loss of or excess. The proper economic level of process capability varies to each process. The procedure of taking the optimum process capability index is derived from the expected profit function, whereas each method is studied in cases of normal process with one-sided specification and two-sided specification. In addition, the process capability index is presented as a method of quality assurance. And an example is exhibited on wrapping process of 'A' company. The results of this study are summarized at follows. First, though the norminalization of the process capability index is possible by the existing methods, the optimum process capability index can vary to the situation of each process. So, the optimum process capability index which is suggested in this dissertation should be used as the standard to assess process capability. Second, the process capability index can take its effect not just in indicating quality control or managerial records but also in the management of high qualify assurance.

Purpose: The purpose was to assess the usefulness of midazolam in patients undergoing minor oral surgery under conscious sedation. Materials and methods: Bispectral index was examined in 20 patients receiving oral minor surgery with conscious sedation supplemented with local anesthesia. All patients included were ASA I and had no contraindications to the study medications. The patients were escorted to the day surgery operation room where, before the commencement of the sedation and surgical procedures, routine monitoring was applied, including the noninvasive monitoring of arterial blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation, and 3-lead electrocardiogram (Electrocardiogram). Bispectral index electrodes were applied on the frontotemporal region after cleansing the skin with alcohol. Bispectral index was calculated with the Electrocardiogram monitor (A-2000; Aspect Co.). Midazolam was then titrated (initially 3mg wait 2min and 2mg). Vital sign and Bispectral index checked every 5 minute until the end of the procedure. The results were then compared. Results: The Bispectral index index values throughout the sedation study period alter many level. The index was dropped at 5 minutes after administration, but raised at injection and odontomy procedure. During the operation, mean Bispectral index index was higher than conscious sedation index range($60{\sim}80$). The amnesic effect was shown 17 cases out of 20 cases(85%). Conclusion: Conscious sedation technique using midazolma is a safe and effective method of controlling behavior in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
