Some treatment methods have been proposed for patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint. We report a conservative treatment for patients who had chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint and who did not want surgical treatment. Two patients who had been treated in the Template clinic, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, are the subjects of this report. The subjects had chronic closed lock symptom for over 3 months after an onset of locking; conventional therapies had no effect. The subjects were treated by making them wear a Template appliance while sleeping and exercise for 10 hours a day. After periodic follow-up, significant improvement was observed for Template treatment in terms of the maximal mouth opening range. When conventional therapy is expected to be ineffective, The Template appliance can be used as conservative treatment for temporomandibular disorders patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint.

Objectives: Oral health management is important to improve the quality of life among the elderly. This study investigated the performance of elderly oral health management among some care workers in long-term-care hospitals. Methods: The study subjects were 174 care workers in 10 long-term-care hospitals. Data on general characteristics of care workers, attitude, recognition and knowledge of elderly health, performance of elderly oral health management were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed through descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation and multiple regression analysis by using a SPSS version 23.0 statistical program. Results: The performance score of oral health management was $4.34{\pm}0.64$ on the 5-point Likert scale. The subjects who exercised more than 2 times a month were significantly higher in their performance of elderly oral health management compared to subjects who did not exercise (${\beta}=0.232$, p=0.035). And, the subjects who cared 10-19 persons were significantly higher in performance of elderly oral health management compared to subjects who cared more than 20 elderly (${\beta}=0.246$, p=0.020). The oral health behavior of care worker (${\beta}=0.271$, p<0.001) and the knowledge of oral health care (${\beta}=0.055$, p=0.008) were positively related to the performance of elderly oral health management. Conclusions: The educational program designed to improve knowledge of care workers in accordance with the standard textbook for training care workers should be developed, and the long term education program should be reinforced to improve the performance for elderly oral health care. If care workers can care a proper number of old persons, they will give oral health care to them.

Objectives : Salvianolic acid B (SAB) is an active ingredient in Salvia miltiorrhiza frequently used for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The present study investigated the antioxidant effects of SAB on the skeletal muscle and the brain tissue of rats following exhaustive exercise.Methods : The rats were treated with oral administration of SAB (30 mg/kg) daily for 5 days prior to the exhaustive exercise. The exhaustive exercise was performed as swimming for 150 min with 5% body weight attached to the tail on the 5th day. The antioxidant effects of SAB was evaluated by measuring the superoxide generation in the gastrocnemius and the 4-HNE expression in the hippocampal tissue. In addition, c-Fos-expressing cells in the brain tissue was observed using immunohistochemistry.Results : Histological features and muscle fiber type composition were not different between the SAB group and the exhaustive exercise group. SAB significantly reduced the upregulation of superoxide generation in the muscle tissue. SAB significantly reduced the increase of c-Fos-expressing cells in the cerebral cortex, paraventricular thalamic nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, the CA1, CA3, and DG regions of hippocampus. SAB significantly reduced the upregulation of 4-HNE expression in the CA1 and DG regions of hippocampus caused by the exhaustive exercise.Conclusions : The results suggest that SAB exerts antioxidative effect against oxidative stress in the skeletal muscle and the brain tissue following exhaustive exercise, while SAB may has an anti-stress effect on stress responses in the brain.

본 연구는 단삼식초 및 지구성 운동트레이닝이 고지방식 유도 비만 흰쥐의 신체구성 및 혈중 항목들의 농도 변화에 미치는 영향을 비교분석함으로서 대사성 증후군의 개선에 도움을 줄 수 있는 효과적인 방법을 모색하고자 실시되었다. 10주령 수컷 Wistar 흰쥐 40마리를 대상으로 8주간 고지방식 처치로 비만을 유도한 후 좌업군, 운동군, 단삼식초섭취군, 운동군+단삼식초섭취 복합처치군 등으로 무선, 배정하여 총 8주간 운동 및 식이처치를 실시하였으며, 체중 및 신체구성, 식이섭취량, 경구당 부하검사 및 혈중 콜레스테롤 농도 등을 측정하였다. 8주간의 단삼식초섭취는 지구성 운동과 병행할 경우 체중감소 및 인슐린 저항성의 개선효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 단삼식초섭취만 처치할 경우 오히려 체지방량을 증가시키고 제지방량은 감소시켰으며, 인슐린 저항성을 현저하게 개선시키지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지구성 운동과의 병행 시도의 경우에도 운동효과를 배제한 부가적인 효과가 나타나지 않았으며, 혈중 지질에 있어서는 운동의 효과마저 둔화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 단삼식초섭취에 따른 항고혈당, 항비만 효과는 확인될 수 없었으며, 추후 분자생물학적 분석에 의한 기전과 관련된 원인분석을 통해서 보다 명확한 결과를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: Using data from the 1styear of the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey, this study administered a questionnaire to patients with oral damage and examined the type of medical care used based on the nature of the injury, further characterized by age group and sex. Methods: Of the 8,150 respondents, this study selected those who participated in the health survey and oral exam survey, excluding surveys with missing values, and set 7,681 people as the research participants. This study used SPSS Windows version 23.0(SPSS Inc. IL, USA) as the statistics program and applied the chi-square test (p) based on a complex sample and logistic regression analysis. Results: In the analysis of the type of tooth damage, there was a significant difference (p<.001) in the number of male patients who were injured due to exercise, violence, and safety accidents compared to females. However, there was no significant difference in their type of medical security and whether or not they visited a dental clinic. The patients with private insurance showed relatively high use for tooth extraction and oral surgery (p<.001). Conclusions: The best way to prevent tooth damage is to prevent the accident. For sports or exercises which may cause tooth damage, protective gear, such as a mouthpiece, should be used to prevent tooth damage.

We report two rare cases of extensive bilateral subcutaneous emphysema that occurred during ordinary dental procedures. An air-driven high-speed handpiece, routinely used in dental procedures may cause subcutaneous emphysema when high pressure air is introduced into the loose connective tissues below the dermal layer. The first case occurred with surgical extraction of the lower third molar. The air introduced into the fascial spaces near the surgical field spread to the contralateral spaces, as well as the neck and chest areas. The second case also showed extensive bilateral subcutaneous emphysema caused by the introduction of compressed air from the handpiece during crown preparation without any invasive procedure. Cases where the emphysema extends beyond the treatment site to involve the contralateral cervicofacial areas have been rarely reported. Predicting the occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema is difficult, so it is important to exercise caution during routine dental treatment. If significant bilateral cervicofacial swelling is suspected to be due to subcutaneous emphysema, prompt diagnosis with securing the patient's airway will be necessary.

Purpose: This study was carried out to identify factors influencing osteoporosis in women at pre- and post-menopausal state. Methods: The subjects of this study were 52 pre-menopausal and 125 post-menopausal women who were assessed of bone density in one general hospital. The data were collected through review of clinical records and telephone interviews using a questionnaire. Results: In the pre-menopausal women, the factors influencing osteoporosis were regular exercise (protective factor) and age (risk factor). Regression analysis showed that the factors attributable to osteoporosis included educational level, weight, age and number of pregnancy, accounted for 41.89% of the total variance. In the post-menopausal women. the factors influencing osteoporosis were age (risk factor), low educational level (risk factor), low economical state (risk factor), high parity (risk factor), and intake of coffee (protective factor). Regression analysis also showed that factors attributable to their osteoporosis included age, educational level, number of delivery, intake of the coffee, regular exercise, number of pregnancy and duration of oral pill intake, accounted for 37.41 % of the total variance. Conclusion: In pre-menopausal women, regular exercise was one of the most powerful determinant of their bone mass. Therefore, it is necessary to participate in a regular exercise program to maintain peak bone mass density prior to the onset of menopause. In post-menopausal women, increased age was the most influencing factor of their bone mass. Therefore, it is essential to establish early diagnosis and management of osteoporosis after menopause.
