The influence of a marketing mix on the consumer purchasing process is well documented in academic fields; however, studies of when consumers purchase fashion brands or products in terms of the day-of-the-week effect and 10-days-of-the-month effect on various channels to a given brand in practice are limited in the fashion industry. This study empirically describes the purchase timing behavior for athletic shoes using daily sales data from a domestic brand in Korea from January in 2006 to December in 2010. The results show that Saturday and Sunday have significantly higher sales than weekdays. In addition, the first and third 10-days-of-the-month yield a higher sales volume than the second 10-days-of-the-month. The department store's sales volume (compared with discount and franchised stores) was higher in the first 10-days-of-the-month; however, the discount and franchised stores have a higher sales volume in the second 10-days-of-the-month. Three store types have no significant differences in sales volume for the third 10-days-of-the-month. Based on the results, in practice, marketers for a specific domestic brand can develop a new marketing expenditure plan, store supply plan, and cash-in and cash-out plan to maximize profits. This research can introduce constructs such as purchase timing distribution, the day-of-the-week effect, and the ten-days-of-the-month effect for the fashion industry.

Background: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the adductor canal block (ACB) in comparison to intra-articular steroid-lidocaine injection (IASLI) to control chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) pain. Methods: A randomized, single-blinded trial in an outpatient rehabilitation clinic recruiting chronic KOA with pain ≥ 6 months over one year. Following randomization, subjects received either a single ACB or IASLI under ultrasound guidance. Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores for pain, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) were recorded at baseline, 1 hour, 1 month, and 3 months postinjection. Results: Sixty-six knees were recruited; 2 were lost to follow-up. Age was normally distributed (P = 0.463), with more female subjects in both arms (P = 0.564). NRS scores improved significantly for both arms at 1 hour, with better pain scores for the IASLI arm (P = 0.416) at 1st month and ACB arm at 3rd month (P = 0.077) with larger effect size (Cohen's d = 1.085). Lower limb function improved significantly in the IASLI arm at 1 month; the ACB subjects showed greater functional improvement at 3 months (Cohen's d = 0.3, P = 0.346). Quality of life (QoL) improvement mirrored the functional scores whereby the IASLI group fared better at the 1st month (P = 0.071) but at the 3rd month the ACB group scored better (Cohen's d = 0.08, P = 0.710). Conclusions: ACB provides longer lasting analgesia which improves function and QoL in chronic KOA patients up to 3 months without any significant side effects.

Purpose: This study evaluated the efficacy of an intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of early stage osteoarthritis of the ankle. Materials and Methods: Early stage ankle osteoarthritis (Takakura stage I and II) patients who received hyaluronic acid injection therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Patients underwent intra-articular injections of 2 mL of sodium hyaluronate for 3 consecutive weeks. Clinical evaluation and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scoring were performed at every three months after treatment. Results: Total 27 patients were involved and mean age was 55 year old (range 33 to 77 years). There were 13 male and 14 female patients. Mean follow up duration was 13 month and. Pre-intra-articular VAS score was $8.9{\pm}0.7$ and three month follow up score was $3.8{\pm}2.8$. VAS score of last follow up was $3.2{\pm}3.4$. The effect of hyaluronic acid continued about one year when analyzed the VAS score change of the patients followed for more than one year. Patients' satisfaction was "very satisfied" in nine, "satisfied" in 12, "fair" in one, and "not satisfied" in five patients. Overall satisfaction rate was 82%. There were no ankle osteoarthritis stage changes in serial follow up radiograph. Conclusion: Symptomatic relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the ankle was achieved by injection of an intra-articular hyaluronate injection. Efficacy of Hyaluronate acid injection persisted more than 1 year in our study. Intra-articular hyaluronate injection to ankle osteoarthritis is safe and effective as knee joint and should be considered as a valid conservative treatment for ankle osteoarthritis.

Background: This study tests the hypothesis that of bipolar radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the thoracic facet joint capsule may provide a safe and effect method of pain control from thoracic facet origin. Methods: Among patients suffering from localized mid back pain, nine patients with thoracic facet disease confirmed by magnetic resonance image and diagnostic thoracic facet block were enrolled. Bipolar radiofrequency ablation in the inferior aspect of the thoracic facet joint was done. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was measured pre-intervention and 1 month post-intervention. Any complications and changes in amount of pain medication were recorded. Results: Significant 47.6% reduction in VAS was noted at 1 month. There were no serious complications. Conclusions: Intra-articular bipolar radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the thoracic facet joint may be a technically easier and valid method of treating mid back pain of thoracic facet origin.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate of the color change, tooth surface and intra-pulpal temperature of tooth bleaching by light activation Methods : Forty-eight extracted bovine teeth were immersed into a tea solution for 24 hours. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups(n=15):(G1) 15% HP + without light activation, (G2) 15% HP + light activation, (G3) 25% HP + without light activation, (G4) 25% HP + light activation. All specimens were bleached for 15 minutes three times. The spectrophotometer (CM-2600d, Konica Minolta, Osaka, Japan) was used including before bleaching, immediately after bleaching, 1 week, 1 and 3 months after the end of bleaching. The temperature rise were measured in the pulpal chamber and tooth surface with a digital thermocouple thermometer(Termopar Digital Multimeter, Tektronix DMM916, USA). Between the tested time points, the specimens were stored in distilled water. The data were analyzed by ANOVA, t-test and Tukey's post hoc test set at 0.05. Results : There was no significant color change by the use of light after the bleaching treatment(p>0.05). The dental bleaching treatments of teeth with 15% HP and 25% HP did not seem to be more effective when light source was used. There was no difference in color stability between groups within three month(p>0.05). There was an increase in tooth surface and pulp temperature, but it was not sufficient to cause damage to the pulp. Conclusions :The use of light activation has no obvious effective impact on the tooth bleaching effect.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop the Korean version of the trunk impairment scale (K-TIS) and to examine reliability and responsiveness of the K-TIS in patients with stroke. Methods Subjects of the study were 51 stroke patients (mean age: 57.78 years) recruited from two stroke clinics. For the interrater and test-retest reliability, two raters measured the K-TIS two times using video clips with an interval of 2 weeks. For the responsiveness, intensive physical therapy training was provided to all participants 2 times a day for one month or three months depending on the onset of the stroke and the admission rules of the two clinics. Inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability of the K-TIS three subscales (static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination) scores and total scores were examined using intra-correlation coefficient ($ICC_{3,1}$) and Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). To examine responsiveness, the minimally important difference (MID) was calculated with effect size. Results: Inter-rater reliability of the K-TIS subscales and total scores were all high (ICC3,1=0.920-0.983 and r=0.924-0.984). For the test-retest reliability, $ICC_{3,1}$=0.805-0.901 and r=0.806-0.903, and the MID for acute and post-acute as well as chronic stroke patients remained in the mean change range. Conclusion: It is suggested that the K-TIS might be used for clinical and research purposes as a standardized tool for stroke patients. In addition, it can also be useful in establishment of treatment goal(s) and planning treatment program(s) for patients with stroke.

배경: 감염성 심내막염은 다른 심장질환에 비해 유병률과 사망률이 높고, 대부분의 임상연구가 대동맥판에 발생한 심내막염에 편중되어 있어, 승모판 심내막염에 대한 보고는 상대적으로 드문데 이에 대한 임상양상 및 수술 결과를 분석하여 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 6월부터 2003년 5월까지 전남대학교병원에서 감염성 승모판 심내막염으로 단일 술자에 의해서 외과적 치료를 받았던 23 예을 대상으로 하였다. 2예는 인공판막 심내막염이었고 나머지 21예는 자가판막 심내막염이었다. 환자의 평균 연령은 44.8$\pm$15.7 (11∼66)세였고 연령분포에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 17예에서는 혈역학적 불안정이나 거대 우종으로 응급수술을 시행하였다. 수술 전 12예에서 울혈성 심부전, 4예에서 신부전, 2예에서 비장 및 신장경색, 2예에서 일시적 뇌손상, 1예에서 뇌농양 소견을 보였다. NYHA 기능 분류상 Grade II가 7예, Grade III가 9예, Grade IV가 6예이었다. 술 전 심초음파상 승모판 역류우세가 19예, 협착우세가 4예이었으며, 우종은 20예(86.9%)에서 관찰되었다. 혈액배양 검사상 10예(43.4%)에서 원인균이 동종되었는데 Streptococcus viridans 5예, methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus 2예, 그리고 Corynebacterium, Haemophillis, Gernella 각각 1예씩 이었다. 수술 적응증은 ACC/AHA 지침에 근거하였으며, 평균 외래 추적관찰기간은 27.6$\pm$23.3 (1∼97)개월이었다. 결과: 13예에서 승모판치환술을 시행하였는데 9예에서 기계판막을 사용하였고 4예에서 조직판막을 사용하였다. 10예에서 다양한 수기의 승모판성형술을 시행하였다. 동반수기로는 6예에서 대동맥판 치환술, 2예에서 삼첨판 성형술, 1예에서 변형된 미로수술, 1예에서 심실중격결손 낙합술을 시행하였다. 술 후 합병증으로는 출혈에 의한 재수술 2예, 종격동염 1예, 저심박출증 1예, 페렴 1예가 있었다. 술 후 30일 이내의 조기사망이나 병원 내 사망 및 판막 연관성 합병증은 없었다. 1예의 환자가 수술 3개월 후 다시 판막성형술을 받았고, 술 전 우종 전색에 의한 뇌경색을 보인 1예의 환자가 술 후 31개월에 뇌출혈로 사망하여 만기 전 체판막 연관성 사망률은 4.3%, 판막연관성 합병증은 8.6%였다. 1, 3, 5년 valve-related event free rate는 90.8%, 79.5%, 79.5%이었고 1, 3, 5년 생존율은 100%, 88.8%, 88.8% 이었다. 결론: 승모판 심내막염의 외과적 치료 시에는 감염된 조직의 완전 절제가 중요하며, 감염된 조직을 완전히 제거하면 대체물이나 수술 기법상의 차이가 결과에 미치는 영향은 크지 않을 것으로 판단되고, 술 전에 감염이나 우종 전색에 의한 뇌손상이 의심되는 환자에서는 술 후 추적관찰 중에도 뇌혈관 손상 가능성에 대해 주의 깊게 관찰하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
