PURPOSE. The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of single short implants, less than 8 mm in length, placed in the posterior area. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 128 patients (75 male and 53 female, mean age: $52.6{\pm}11.2years$) with 154 implants participated. Implant marginal bone loss, and survival and success rates were measured. RESULTS. The mean follow-up period was $51.35{\pm}24.97months$. A total of 128 implants, 8 mm in length, were placed in patients who had mean marginal bone loss of 0.75 mm. These implants had a survival rate of 95.3%. Twenty-six implants, 7 mm in length, were placed in areas with a mean marginal bone loss of 0.78 mm and had a survival rate of 96.2%. Both marginal bone loss and survival rate were not statistically different among the groups. In the maxilla, 34 implants showed a mean marginal bone loss of 0.77 mm and a survival rate of 97.1%. In the mandible, 120 implants showed a mean marginal bone loss of 0.75 mm and a survival rate of 95.0%. The average marginal bone loss around all implants was $0.76{\pm}0.27mm$ at the last follow-up review after functional loading. The survival rate was 95.6% and success rate was 93.5%. CONCLUSION. In our study, single short implants less than 8 mm in length in the posterior areas had favorable clinical outcomes.

Process Capability Index (PCI) is useful Statistical Process Control (SPC) tool that is measure of process diagnostic and assessment tools widely use in industrial field. It has advantage of easy to calculate and easy to use in the field. $C_p$ and $C_{pk}$ are traditional PCIs. These are only considers of process variation. These are not given information about the characteristic value does not match the target value of the process. Studies of this process capability index by many scholars actively for supplement of its disadvantage. These studies to evaluate the capability of situation of various field has presented a new process capability index. $C_{pm}$ is considers both the process variation and the process deviation from target value. And $C_{pm}{^+}$ is considers economic loss for the process deviation from target value. In this paper development of new process capability index that is Taguchi's quadratic loss function by applying the expected loss. And check the correlation between existing traditional process capability index ($C_{pk}$) and new one. Finally, we propose the criteria for classification about developed process capability index.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the nutritional status and dietary intake of gastrectomized cancer patients. For this study, from 1993. 1 to 1993. 8, 50 postoperative gastric cancer patients were selected to examine anthropometric and laboratory data(Body Weight, Body Fat, serum Albumin, Total Lympocyte count), and dietary intake related symptoms. The results were 1) All anthropometric and laboratory data were significantly deteriorated by gastrectomy(s-Albumin, TLC. Body Fat : p<0.001). Weight loss of gastrectomized patients was 8.23$\pm$3.72% from admission to discharge. 2) In many gastrectomized cancer patients, preoperative dietary intake was decreased by abdominal discomfort, indigestion, early satiety, and anorexia. 3) Postoperative energy intake was 602$\pm$158㎉, and it is correspond to 31.18$\pm$.90% of daily energy requirement(1918$\pm$236㎉). The cause of poor oral intake is mostly fear, abdominal distension and fullness, and early satiety. In consideration of the fact that an inadequate energy intake was the main cause of the decreasing nutritional status, a careful nutritional care and dietary education is necessry after gastrectomy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the estimated blood loss and determine the change in hemoglobin depending on the combination of each orthognathic surgery. Subjects and Methods: The subjects of this study were patients who underwent orthognathic surgery among those diagnosed with a dentofaical deformity in Mok-Dong hospital, Ewha Womans University from 2002 to 2009. One hundred patients (men - 36, women - 64, mean age of $24.5{\pm}4.6$) participated in the study and were divided into four groups (group 1 - bilateral sagittal ramus osteotomy [BSSRO], group 2 - BSSRO+Genioplasty, group 3 - Lefort 1+BSSRO+genioplasty, group 4 - anterior segmental osteotomy on maxilla and mandible). A comparative study on the estimated blood loss (EBL), operation time, peri-operative changes in hemoglobin was performed using anesthesia records. The results were analyzed statistically using a Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman's Rho test - SPSS 12.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA). Results: In group 1 (BSSRO), the mean EBL, operation time and change in hemoglobin was $394.43{\pm}52.69$ ml, $184{\pm}42.33$ minutes, and 1.43, respectively, In group 2 (BSSRO+genioplasty), it was $556.32{\pm}63.42$ ml, $231{\pm}37.45$ minutes, and 1.80, respectively. In group 3 (Lefort 1+BSSRO+Genioplasty), it was $820.55{\pm}105.54$ ml, $320{\pm}15.41$ minutes, and 2.73, respectively. In group 4 (segmental osteotomy), it was $1025.39{\pm}160.21$ ml, $355{\pm}20.10$ minutes, and 3.33, respectively. In particular, in group 3, significant differences were observed depending on the method of the orthognathic surgery. The mean EBL in a Lefort 1 osteotomy with advancement was only 687 ml, whereas Lefort 1 osteotomy with canting correction (992 ml), even impaction (764 ml), and posterior nasal spine impaction (100 ml) showed a much higher EBL. Conclusion: From these results, the EBL and peri-operation hemoglobin increased as treatment plans became more complicated and increasing operation time. Safe orthognathic surgery should be performed by applying proper autologous transfusion plans based on the average EBL of each orthognathic surgery type.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Effective weight reduction remains a challenge throughout the world as the prevalence of obesity and its consequences are increasing. This study aimed to determine the effects of an individualized nutrition counseling program (IC) matched with a transtheoretical model (TTM) for overweight and obese subjects. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Fifty overweight and obese subjects aged 19-60 years with a body mass index ${\geq}23kg/m^2$ were enrolled in the weight reduction study. They were randomized into two groups: Intervention group received an IC matched with a TTM; control group received an educational handbook. Body weight (BW), body fat (BF), waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR), stages of change (SOC), processes of change (POC), food intake, and physical activity (PA) were assessed at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after program initiation in both groups. All data were analyzed by intention-to-treat, using SPSS software for hypothesis testing. RESULTS: Forty-five female subjects were included in the 12-week trial at Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. The results showed significant weight loss ($1.98{\pm}1.75kg$; 3% loss of initial weight) in the intervention group at 12 weeks, compared to a $0.17{\pm}1.67kg$ loss in the control group. There were significant differences between intervention and control groups in BF mass ($-1.68{\pm}1.78$, $-0.04{\pm}1.62kg$); percentage BF ($-1.54{\pm}2.11$, $0.08{\pm}2.05$); WC ($-5.35{\pm}3.84$, $0.13{\pm}3.23cm$); WHtR ($-0.0336{\pm}0.02$, $-0.0004{\pm}0.02$), and energy consumption ($-405.09{\pm}431.31$, $-74.92{\pm}499.54kcal/day$) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Intragroup SOC was improved in both groups. The POC for the weight management action (WMA) process was significantly different with POC scores increasing by $16.00{\pm}11.73$ and $7.74{\pm}14.97$ in the intervention and the control groups, respectively. PA level did not change in either group. CONCLUSIONS: The IC matched with a TTM resulted in reductions in BW, BF, and WC, thus reducing likely health risks by decreasing energy intake and inducing positive behavior changes while enhancing the WMA process.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the herbal medicines used for women in puerperium on postpartum care, Kami-Saenghwatang(SHT) and Kami-Bohertang(BHT) and postpartum body composition change. We also examined the influence of gestational age, the number of parity and the route of delivery for gestational weight gain and postpartum weight loss. Methods: 239 women followed by postpartum care center. Variety factor s were conformed and then checked body composition analysis. 8 weeks later, we followed up body composition of 36 women among the former checked. and additionally asked the body weight of another 42 former checked women by telephone call. Results: $Mean{\pm}S.D$(standard deviation) of pre-pregnancy weight is $55.22{\pm}8.98kg$, $Mean{\pm}S.D$ of gestational maximun weight is $69.26{\pm}9.77kg$, $Mean{\pm}S.D$ of weight loss in postpartum 8 weeks(means sub-tract postpartum 1 week weight from postpartum 8 week weight) is $57.86{\pm}8.60kg$. The number of parities had corrrelation with gestational weight gain. Age, number of parities and route of delive were not significantly correlated with postpartum weight loss during 8 weeks after delivery, and also it was not correlated with body water mass, body fat mass, body mass index and body weight on postpartum 8 weeks whether they treated with SHT and BHT. conclusion: It was not correlated with body water mass, body fat mass, body mass index and body weight on 8 weeks postpartum whether they treated with SHT and BHT.

PURPOSE. This research evaluated clinical outcomes of two types of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants: OT (Osstem TS III-HA, Osstem implant Co., Busan, Korea) and ZM (Zimmer TSV-HA, Zimmer dental, Carlsbad, USA). MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research was conducted on 303 implants (89 of OT, 214 of ZM), which were placed from January 16, 2010 to December 20, 2012. The prognosis was evaluated in terms of success rates, survival rates, annual marginal bone loss, and implant stability quotients (ISQ). The samples were classified into immediate, early, conventional, and delayed groups according to the loading time. RESULTS. Overall, there were no significant differences between OT and ZM in success rates, survival rates, and annual marginal bone loss, except for the result of secondary stability. OT showed $77.83{\pm}8.23ISQ$, which was marginally higher than $76.09{\pm}6.90ISQ$ of ZM (P<.05). In terms of healing periods, only immediate loading showed statistically significant differences (P<.05). Differences between OT and ZM were observed in terms of two indices, the annual marginal bone loss ($0.17{\pm}0.58mm/year$ < $0.45{\pm}0.80mm/year$) and secondary stability ($84.36{\pm}3.80ISQ$ > $82.48{\pm}3.69ISQ$) (P<.05). OT and ZM did not have any statistically significant differences in early, conventional, and delayed loading (P>.05). CONCLUSION. OT (97.75%) and ZM (98.50%) showed relatively good outcomes in terms of survival rates. In general, OT and ZM did not show statistically significant differences in most indices (P>.05), although OT performed marginally better than ZM in the immediate loading and 1-stage surgery (P<.05).

목적 : 신증후군에서 사구체 단백 투과성이 증가하는 것은 전신적인 순환 인자와 관련되어 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 전신적인 순환 인자의 사구체 외 기관에서의 영향과 관련하여, 본 연구에서는 복막 투석 중인 steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) 환자에서의 복막투석을 통한 단백 소실 정도를 파악하고자 하였다. 방법 : 2001년부터 2009년까지 복막 투석 중인 신증후군 환자 12명(SRNS)과 대조군 14명을 대상으로 후향적 환자-대조군 연구를 시행하였다. 성별, 투석 시작 시 연령, 체중, 신장, 투석 방법, 투석양, 투석 시작 시 검사 소견(혈액 요소 질소, 혈청 크레아티닌, 혈청 단백, 혈청 알부민, 24시간 투석액 부피, 24시간 투석액 단백, Kt/V)과 1년 뒤 투석 시 검사 소견(24시간 투석액 단백)을 조사하였다. 단백질 섭취 정도를 평가하기 위해 nPNA (normalized protein equvalent of total nitrogen appearance)를 측정하였다. 결과 : SRNS군과 대조군은 nPNA를 비롯한 다른 지표에 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았으나, SRNS군에서 혈청 알부민이 $3.7{\pm}0.3$ g/dL로 대조군($4.0{\pm}0.4$ g/dL, P=0.021)보다 낮았다. 복막액을 통한 단백 소실량은 SRNS군에서 대조군보다 통계학적으로 의미 있게 높았으며($3,044.4{\pm}837.6\;mg/m^2$/day vs. $1,791.6{\pm}1,244.0\;mg/m^2$/day, P=0.007), 혈장 단백에 대한 복막의 투과성은 SRNS군에서 대조군보다 2배 가량 높았다($1.06{\pm}0.46%$ vs. $0.58{\pm}0.43%$, P=0.010). SRNS군과 대조군 모두 초기와 1년 뒤 복막 단백 소실량이 증가하였으나 대조군에서 더 큰 차이를 보였으며 복막 단백 소실량의 시간 경과에 따른 변화는 두 군(SRNS군 vs. 대조군)간에 의미있게 차이가 있었다(P=0.023). 결론 : 신증후군을 앓고 있는 소아 환자에서 복막 투석을 시행할 때는 이들의 영양상태, 성장 및 발달에 평가가 보다 적극적으로 이루어져야 하고, 복막을 통한 단백 소실을 모니터링하여 이를 보충하려는 노력 또한 필요하리라 생각된다.
