The aims of this study were to investigate the nosocomial infection route of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and explore preventative methods for this pathogen that involve blocking its dispersion. We cultured MRSA from nasal cavity swabs collected between June and July 2008 that we obtained from eight dental healthcare providers, 32 nurses and the sputum specimens of two patients from our hospital. In addition, we used VITEK 2 equipment to measure drug sensitivity, and we further performed biochemical testing and pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to isolate MRSA colonies. The incidence of these bacteria on the nasal swabs was 25.0% from dental clinic healthcare providers, 13.6% from the internal medicine ward nurses and 30.0% from intensive care unit nurses. Moreover, MRSA was detectable in sputum specimens of ward patients. The antimicrobial agents resistance and partial PFGE types of MRSA showed a similar pattern. We suggest from these analyses that nasal cavity infection by MRSA could occur by cross contamination between healthcare providers and patients which underscores the importance of stringent MRSA management practices.

Dental implant restoration in partial or full edentulous state has become the standard treatment in recent years. Bone graft with guided bone regeneration technique has been regarded as one of the most reliable methods to restore the bone defect area due to periodontal disease or dental trauma. Bone graft materials and membrane are the essential component of guided bone regeneration; however, a variety of bone graft materials confuse us in implant dentistry. Autogenous bone is the recognized standards in implant dentistry owing to its osteogenesis potential. Despite of its disadvantages, grafting autogenous bone is the most reliable methods. Even though the development of new bone grafts materials, autogenous bone is useful in exposed implant thread and total lack of buccal or lingual bone. Allogenic, xenogenic and synthetic bone have the osteoconductive and osteoinductive potential. These materials could be used successfully in self-contained cavity such as sinus cavity and three-wall defects. In this article, application of bone graft material is suggested according to the function of bone graft materials.

A 64-year-old male was admitted due to abruptly developed, severe dyspnea via local clinic. He had been a heavy smoker and alcoholic for a long time. Chest PA showed huge haziness in right upper lung field. Sputum culture for bacteriology was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. Immediately, appropriate antibiotics were administered and artificial ventilation was started. On 40th hospital day, simple chest roentgenogram taken due to sudden aggravated dyspnea showed marked hyperlucency in right upper lung field, suggestive of rupture of abscess cavity and resultant pneumothorax. At that time, chest tube was inserted but air leakage from the chest tube persisted. Chest CT scan taken after chest tube insertion showed the tube inserted into a thin-walled cavity in the above lesion. on 84th hospital day, right upper lobectomy with decortication was performed. Pathologically, cavittary lung abscess was diagnosed on the findings of partial re-epithelialization of ciliated columnar epithelium with severe pulmonary vascular occlusion and extensive fibrous pleural adhesions.

Background: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) accounts for 1-10% of cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity, and 75% of VC occur in the oral cavity. Only 3% of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinomas (PIOSCC), which means SCC occurring primarily in the bone, are VC. Verrucous carcinoma arising from odontogenic cysts (OC) is very rare, with only seven cases reported to date. Case presentation: This study reported a case of a patient who underwent partial maxillectomy and neck dissection for VC that occurred in the right anterior maxilla. The patient was admitted to the emergency department at our institution 8 years ago and showed cystic lesions in the anterior maxilla on facial computed tomography (CT) images. Treatment through other departments including assessment of laceration in the mental region and only suture was performed. This report highlights a very rare case of VC in the right anterior maxilla arising from a previous cystic lesion. Conclusions: Since PIOSCC can arise from OC, appropriate treatment of intraosseous cysts and regular radiologic evaluation are necesssary. Surgical exicision of the primary lesion without neck dissection can lead to good prognosis for patients with primary intraosseous verrucous carcinoma.

Partial discharges(PD)in air insulated electric power apparatus often lead to deterioration of solid insulation by electron bombardments and electrochemical reaction. The PD caused to reduce the life time of power apparatus and to increase power losses. Thus understanding and classification of PD patterns in air are very important to discern sources of PD. In this paper, PD in air by using statistical methods was investigated. We classified air discharges, corona, surface discharges and cavity discharges by Kohonen network. For classification of PD patterns, we used statistical operators and parameters such as skewness$(S^+,\; S^-),\; kurtosis(K^+, K^-),\; mean phase(AP^+, AP^-)$, cross-correlation factor(CC) and asymmetry derived from the mean pulse-height phase distribution$(H_{avg}(\phi))$, the max pulse-height phase distribution $(H_{qmax}(\phi))$, the pulse count phase distribution $(H_n(\phi))$ and the pulse height vs. Repetition rate $(H_q(n))$.

Partial discharge(PD) in air insulated electric power systems is responsible for considerable power lossesfrom high voltage transmission lines. PD in air often leads to deterioration of insulation by the combined action of the discharge ions bombarding the surface and the action of chemical compounds that are formed by the discharge and may give rise to interference in ommunication systems. PD can indicate incipient failure. Thus understanding and classification of PD in air is very important to discern source of PD. In this paper, we investigated PD in air by using statical method. We classified air discharge with corona, surface discharge and cavity discharge by source of discharge. we used the mean pulse-height phase distribution $H_{qmean}(\psi)$, the max pulse-height phase distribution $H_{qmax}(\psi)$ , the pulse count phase distribution $H_n(\psi)$ and the max pulse height vs. repetition rate $H_{q}(n)$ for analysis PD pattern. We used statistical operators, such as skewness(S+. S-1, kurtosis(K+, K-), mean phase(AP+. AP-), cross-correlation factor(CC) and asymmetry from the distribution.

수령이 오래되거나 보호수에서의 공동 발생은 수세약화, 부분고사, 전체고사 등의 원인이 될 수 있다. 보호수 및 노거수의 보호를 위한 공동의 치료는 폴리우레탄을 사용한 방법이 일반적이다. 그러나 폴리우레탄은 수목의 공동에 직접적인 치료방법이 되지 못할뿐더러 환경오염 물질을 함유하고 있는 단점이 있다. 본 실험은 기존의 폴리우레탄을 사용한 공동치료를 대체할 수 있는 황토와 미생물을 이용하여 친환경적 공동치료방법을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 느티나무 (Zelkova serrata), 왕벚나무 (Prunus yedoensis), 가시나무 (Quercus myrsinaefolia)에 자연 발생한 공동에 기존 우레탄 시공, 황토처리, 황토 + 미생물1종 (Rhodobacter), 황토 + 미생물2종 (Rhodobacter, bacillus) + 토양입단제의 4처리를 실시하였다. 황토와 미생물2종 (Rhodobacter, bacillus), 토양입단제의 혼용 처리구에서 느티나무의 경우 97%, 왕벚나무는 87%, 가시나무는 73%의 새로운 캘러스 형성을 보여 기존의 폴리우레탄을 이용한 공동 처리보다 더 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 황토 단용처리와 황토 + 미생물1종 (Rhodobacter) 처리구는 폴리우레탄 처리구보다 비슷하거나 더 낮은 캘러스 형성율을 보였다. 이는 황토 및 Rhodobacter와 bacillus, 토양입단제의 혼합처리가 수목의 부패 또는 상처 부위의 치유에 더 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
