The gas leak and explosion accident is able to give a fatal injury to nearby people from the explosion center and interest in effect of the explosion on the human body is increased. Accidents by Portable Butane Gas Range of a gas explosion accident occupy the most share. As a result, the injury on the human body frequently occur. However, It is situation that are experiencing difficulties in consequence analysis of explosion accidents owing to shortage of explosion power data and lack of research on the effect of the human body by the gas explosion. This paper acquire human injury data by performing the actual explosion experiment with Portable Butane Gas Range and evaluate power by explosion and effect of explosion on the human body to perform explosion simulation with LS-DYNA program. It is intended to contribute to the exact cause of the accident investigation and the same type of accident prevention.

Small overlap crash caused fatal injury in real-world crash. IIHS(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) proposed the small overlap test. The objective of this study is to analyze dummy injury criteria and dummy excursion on the sled reinforced body angle. Result of the comparisons of dummy injury criteria of a head, neck, and chest was best correlation between sled and vehicle test on base $angle+3^{\circ}$. However, lower extremity was not correlation because sled test could not copy of intrusion. There were a correlation between dummy movement and sled reinforced body angle. Sled reinforced body angle affects the lateral direction of excursion more than longitudinal excursion.

Background: Although the zygomatic arch is an important structure determining facial prominence and width, no consensus exists regarding the classification of isolated zygomatic arch fractures, and the literature on this topic is scarce. To date, five papers have subdivided zygomatic arch fractures; however, only one of those proposed classifications includes the injury vector, although the injury vector is one of the most important factors to consider in fracture cases. Furthermore, the only classification that does include the injury vector is too complicated to be suitable for daily practice. In addition, the existing classifications are clinically limited because they do not consider greenstick fractures, nondisplaced fractures, or coronoid impingement. In the present study, we present a rearrangement of the previously published classifications and propose a modified classification of isolated zygomatic arch fractures that maximizes the advantages and overcomes the disadvantages of previous classification systems. Methods: The classification criteria for isolated zygomatic arch fractures described in five previous studies were analyzed, rearranged, and supplemented to generate a modified classification. The medical records, radiographs, and facial bone computed tomography findings of 134 patients with isolated zygomatic arch fractures who visited our hospital between January 2010 and December 2019 were also retrospectively analyzed. Results: We analyzed major classification criteria (displacement, the force vector of the injury, V-shaped fracture, and coronoid impingement) for isolated zygomatic arch fracture from the five previous studies and developed a modified classification by subdividing zygomatic arch fractures. We applied the modified classification to cases of isolated zygomatic arch fracture at our hospital. The surgery rate and injury severity differed significantly from fracture types I to VI. Conclusion: Using our modified classification, we could determine that both the injury force and the injury vector meaningfully influenced the surgery rate and the severity of the injuries.

Objectives : Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (附子) and Aconiti Tuber (川烏) are not commonly prescribed, but are necessary for some clinical conditions, despite of the fact that some negative effects have been known to occur with these medicines. This study shows the consequences for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) due to herbal medicines, including Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (附子) and Aconiti Tuber (川烏). Methods : From 1st June 2007 to 10th May 2009, the results were analyzed for 64 patients belonging to the OO Oriental Medical Hospital who took herbal medicine, including Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (附子) and Aconiti Tuber (川烏), more than 20 days. This is the study about the comparison and the investigation of AST, ALT. And the results were taken upon their hospitalization and to their departure. The Criteria of Diagnosis in Liver Injury of CIOMS was used as a standard for their examinations. Results : AST, ALT (total 64). The number of patients who were within normal reference value : 49. The number of patients who exceed the normal reference value after dosage, without satisfying the Criteria of Diagnosis in Liver Injury : 5. The number of patients who were recovered in normal reference value after dosage : 9. The number of patients who satisfying the Criteria of Diagnosis in Liver Injury after dosage : 1. Conclusions : This results suggest that these herbal medicines, including Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (附子) and Aconiti Tuber (川烏), didn't cause adverse side-effects on AST, ALT of the patients who are taking them.

This study statistically analyzed the laboratory accidents by investigating 806 laboratory accident survey reports which were officially submitted to government from 2013 to June 2017. After comparing domestic and foreign accident classification criteria, the laboratory accidents were classified using KCD7(Korean Standard Classification of Diseases) and OIICS(Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System) criteria. For the type and part of injury, KCD7 classification criteria was adopted. And, for the cause and occurrence type of accidents, OIICS was adopted to analyze the laboratory accidents. Most of injuries happened to the wrist and hand caused by sharp materials or chemical materials. The analysis of accident cause showed that accidents resulted in medical practice and accidents from handtools and chemical materials such as acid and alkali frequently occurred. The major occurrence types of laboratory accidents was body exposure to the chemical materials such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. In addition, the accidents resulted in destroy of grasped object or falling object were frequently reported.

The field triage guidelines have been widely implemented in the Korean trauma system. This study aimed to evaluate and validate whether it is reliable to use the field triage guidelines for predicting severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and traumatic spinal injury (TSI) patients. This study retrospectively analyzed in-hospital cohort registries of all TBI and TSI patients, who visited the emergency department (ED) of the Jeju National University Hospital from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2015. The primary outcome was defined as TBI and TSI patients with an injury severity score (ISS)>15. Secondary outcomes were defined as cases in which one or more of the following conditions: in-hospital death, ISS>15, admission to the intensive care unit, emergency surgery. We enrolled 14,889 TBI and TSI patients who visited ED, of which 7,966 (53.5%) were triage positive. The overall sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of the full cumulative field triage guidelines step's model (Step 1+3+4 criteria) for primary outcome were 82.8%, 47.0%, and 0.646, respectively. In the results for secondary outcomes, the specificity did not show a significant difference, but the sensitivity decreased to 66.5% and AUC to 0.568. The results of this study suggest that further optimization of the field triage guidelines is needed to identify high-risk TBI and TSI patients.

Purpose: This study is aimed at life adaptation process of women with the spinal cord injury. Method: The subjects were 6 women in Kyeonggi and they had interview individually. The study was conducted during June to November in 2009 and developed substantial theory in women's life adaptation process by applying ground research methodology. Result: Motivation for such a change was their psychological pain, which is the central phenomenon. Social activities sustained them during such a process, while social support and experience of achievement acted as an intervention condition. During the initial period, they had a vague expectation that the condition of their accidental spinal cord injury would be improved. Then the expectation had failed, they experienced psychological pain, finding out the reality about the disabled and social difficulties awaiting them. Since then they began to love themselves, pursuing a changed life of hope, achievement and serving. Conclusion: Its result is expected to serve as a basic data for rehabilitation nursing, so that they may conduct independent lives, with a love toward themselves. Repetitive research would be necessary concerning the adaptation process of women in order for the criteria presented to become richer, and for the relations among the criteria to become more refined.
