The acromioclavicular separation (AC separation) is a common injury, which is often accompanied by the rupture of the coracoclavicular ligament (CC ligament) in severe occasions. In rare forms of AC separation, the fracture of the coracoid process would occur rather than the rupture of the CC ligament. Only 31 cases of such injury have been reported in the English literature. We present 2 additional cases with literature review. The fracture of the coracoid process is not readily seen on anteroposterior shoulder radiograms. Severe AC separation without widening of CC distance on anteroposterior shoulder radiogram heralds the fracture of the coracoid process.

Bronchogenic cysts are generally presented as a well defined mass that have thin and smooth wall in the intrapulmonary or mediastinal area by simple chest radiographs. We present the case of a 20-year-old man with a ill-defined left upper lobe mass, found by chest radiographs. At the preoperative examinations, chest computed tomography showed ill-defined mass with Hounsfield Number 26, and nonspecific findings were shown by the bronchoscopy and percutaneous needle aspiration. The patient was undertaken the left upper lobectomy. The surgical specimen contained a ill-defined mass, measuring $2{\times}3$ cm. On the section of the mass, a cyst containing dark brown thick materials was noted. The cyst was unilocular, and the wall showed a trabeculation. Microscopically, the cystic mass was lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epitheliums and surrounded by smooth muscle and cartilage.

Purpose: We present our experience about the clinical aspect and treatment modalities of ostechondritis dissecans of the talus. Material and Method: This study included 35 patients, 38 cases diagnosed as ostechondritis dissecans of the talus that were proved by clinical and radiologic finding. The methods of treatment were conservative (2 cases), multiple drilling (1 case), excision (1 case), excision, curettage & multiple drilling (23 cases), curettage & bone peg fixation (2 cases), curettage & bone graft (2 cases), and autogenous osteochondral transfer(Mosaicplasty) (7 cases). Results: Of the 38 cases, 30 cases were associated with a history of trauma (17 cases of medial lesion, 13 cases of lateral lesion), and 9 cases of which had major trauma history and 21 cases, minor repetitive trauma history. According to O'Farrel grading system, 21 cases (55%) had good results, 11 cases (29%) had fair results, and 6 cases (16%) had poor results. Of the medial lesion 16 cases had good results, 6 cases, fair results, and 2 cases, poor results. Of the lateral lesion 5 cases had good results, 5 cases, fair results, and 4 cases, poor results. Conclusion: There were fair or good results in 84% of patients with surgical treatment. Curettage and multiple drilling reveals a good result in medial lesion in grade I, II, III and lateral lesion in grade I, II. Autogenous osteochondral transfer(Mosaicplasty) is considered for the cases in grade III, IV(medial and lateral), lesion exceeds 1Cm of size and poor result with another treatment modality.

Background: Few studies have investigated the effects of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes including mortality rates following surgery for osteoporotic hip fractures. The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and the relationship between sarcopenia and 1- and 5-year mortality rates in a consecutive series of patients with osteoporotic hip fractures. Methods: Among patients who underwent hip surgery for osteoporotic hip fractures, this study included 91 patients subjected to abdominal computed tomography within 1 year of hip surgery. We defined sarcopenia using sex-specific cut-off points for the skeletal muscle index at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. All patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of sarcopenia and the 1- and 5-year mortality rates were compared. To confirm factors affecting mortality in addition to sarcopenia, we examined patient age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, location of fracture, type of surgery, and bone mineral density. Results: The 1- and 5-year mortality rates were 20.9% and 67.2%, respectively. Among the 45 patients with sarcopenia, the 1- and 5-year mortality rates were 22.2% and 82.7%, respectively. Of the 46 patients without sarcopenia, the 1- and 5-year mortality rates were 19.6% and 52.7%, respectively. Results of the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that sarcopenia did not affect the 1-year mortality rate (P=0.793), but had a significant effect on the 5-year mortality rate (P=0.028). Both perioperative sarcopenia (P=0.018) and osteoporosis (P=0.000) affected the 5-year mortality rate. Conclusions: Sarcopenia increases the risk of 5-year mortality in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures.

우리나라 경찰은 광복 이후 경찰제도가 국가경찰제도로 자리 잡아 오랜 기간 동안 중앙집권적 경찰제도로 운영되어 왔으며, 1991년 「경찰법」의 제정으로 경찰위원회가 설립되었다. 경찰위원회는 경찰행정과 관련된 주요 정책 등을 심의·의결하는 기능을 가진 합의제 행정기관이지만 본래의 경찰위원회 기능을 수행하지 못하고 단순 자문기관에 불과하다는 문제점이 있다. 이에 2020년 12월 「경찰법」 전부개정안이 통과되어 법이 개정됨에도 불구하고 국가경찰위원회의 운영과 구성에 있어 문제점이 여전히 존재하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국가경찰위원회의 문제점과 개선방안을 제안하고자 한다.

In 2021, the Korean National Police Agency is facing a critical time as it meets a period of drastic changes such as the introduction of autonomous police system, the reform of its criminal investigation system, and its great transformation to a truly responsible investigative agency in keeping with the inauguration of the National Office of Investigation. This study carries out PEST analysis, which is a macro environmental analysis technique, and examines the current situation of operating the libraries of metropolitan-city and provincial police agencies and affiliated institutions, in order to suggest the role and function of the Korean National Police Agency's libraries in the fourth industrial revolution era. Based on the findings, this study classifies the essential components of a library into facilities, books, and librarians, i.e. spatial composition, book composition, and human resources, in addition to library operational governance establishment and future-oriented library services; and proposes the future-oriented roles of the National Police Agency's libraries in the fourth industrial revolution era.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the amount of media coverage related to drug crimes and the actual number of drug-related arrests. It aims to determine the implications of this relationship for the formulation of police policies in response to drug crimes. To achieve this, we collected and analyzed 50,355 domestic online media coverage data from 2001 to 2022 and drug crime arrest data compiled by the National Police Agency. The analysis confirmed a significant causal relationship between the amount of online media coverage of drug crimes and the actual number of drug crime arrests. This relationship was found to be influenced by the existence of dominant issues and the relevance of famous incidents. It was determined that media coverage was also influenced by public interest beyond drug crime arrest numbers. Based on these research findings, the police have proposed the need to monitor the amount of crime-related media coverage and enhance security capabilities for crimes that receive public attention in order to gain the trust of the citizens.

With the goal of enforcing a municipal police system in a national scale starting from 2021, the proposal for introducing municipal police system is promoted and the private security is spotlighted as the measure for supplementing the issues for municipal police system. To solve this issue, the method of promoting and actively utilizing the private security which served as an assistant for security service into the cooperator for security service is suggested as a practical method. To analyze how police's favorable attitude toward introduction of municipal police system influence on the favorable trust toward private security system, this study conducted a survey on front line police officers and analyzed the collected data through statistical technique. As a result, the police officers favorable to introduction of municipal police system also showed positive attitude toward private security and machine security. However, the survey didn't provide significant result on labor expense. In order for the private security service to be accepted as the cooperator for security service, it is necessary to solve the labor expense issue and strengthen trust on machine security.

This study was conducted with the aim of testing the relationship between authority-giving leadership recognized by maritime police officials with organizational citizenship behavior. There are various types of leadership. Marine police officials will be able to help solve more effective problems in practice by the authority granted due to the nature of their duties. Organizational citizenship behavior is informal, though. However, as a result, it is related to organizational development. Recently, as a study for organizational development, many studies on empowerment leadership and organizational citizenship behavior are being conducted. In this study, 168 marine police officials were surveyed. As a result of the study, the authority-granting leadership and organizational citizenship behavior of marine police officials are very important factors due to the dangers and unexpectedness of the duties of marine police officials. Policy suggestions were made for the development of the maritime police organization.
