상악 전치부의 보철 수복은 치과 분야에서 심미성이 크게 요구되는 치료이다. 상악 전치부의 보철 수복을 통하여 치아의 외형, 배열, 색조 등을 개선하면 심미성을 향상시키는 것이 가능하다. 특히 전치부 심미 수복을 위해서는 진단과정에서 환자의 안모 및 치아와 입술과의 관계, 치아와 치은 관계 등을 평가하고, 환자가 요구하는 바를 정확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 환자와 술자 및 기공사 간의 원활한 의사소통을 통하여 환자의 요구사항을 충실히 반영하기 위한 도구로서 DSD (digital smile design) 개념을 적용할 수 있다. 이 증례에서는 상악 중절치의 선천적 결손으로 인하여 대칭성을 구현하기 불가능한 상황에서 DSD를 활용하여, 환자 안모와 상악 전치부의 전체적인 조화를 추구하는 것을 목표로 하였으며, 이를 통해 환자와 술자 모두 만족할 만한 심미적인 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Background: Moderate sedation is an integral part of dental care delivery. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) has the potential to improve patient safety and outcome. We compared the effects of using TCI to administer remifentanil/manual bolus midazolam with manual bolus fentanyl/midazolam administration on patient safety parameters, drug administration times, and patient recovery times. Methods: In this retrospective chart review, records of patients who underwent moderate intravenous sedation over 12 months in a private dental clinic were assessed. Patient indicators (pre-, intra-, and post-procedure noninvasive systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate) were compared using independent t-test analysis. Patient recovery time, procedure length, and midazolam dosage required were also compared between the two groups. Results: Eighty-five patient charts were included in the final analysis: 47 received TCI-remifentanil/midazolam sedation, and 38 received manual fentanyl/midazolam sedation. Among the physiological parameters, diastolic blood pressure showed slightly higher changes in the fentanyl group (P = 0.049), respiratory rate changes showed higher changes in the fentanyl group (P = 0.032), and the average EtCO₂ was slightly higher in the remifentanil group (P = 0.041). There was no significant difference in the minimum SpO₂ levels and average procedure length between the fentanyl and remifentanil TCI pump groups (P > 0.05). However, a significant difference was observed in the time required for discharge from the chair (P = 0.048), indicating that patients who received remifentanil required less time for discharge from the chair than those who received fentanyl. The dosage of midazolam used in the fentanyl group was 0.487 mg more than that in the remifentanil group; however, the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of TCI administered remifentanil combined with manual administered midazolam has the potential to shorten the recovery time and reduce respiration rate changes when compared to manual administration of fentanyl/midazolam. This is possibly due to either the lower midazolam dosage required with TCI remifentanil administration or achieving a stable, steady-state low dose remifentanil concentration for the duration of the procedure.

Bichamber cardiac rupture is less frequent compared to unichamber cardiac rupture. We report a patient who was successfully treated after the diagnosis of penetrating stab wound of both ventricles. The key to improved outcome of management of cardiac trauma lies in the rapid transportation to a general hospital where cardiac surgery is available. Aggressive primary intervention and immediate operation are also major factors.

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder caused by the release of injured skeletal muscle components into the circulation. The authors report a case of severe head injury, in which a hyperosmolar state and continuous seizure complicated by severe rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure evolved during the course of treatment resulted in a fatal outcome despite intensive supportive treatment. Our bitter experience suggests that rhabdomyolysis should be born in mind in patients with severe head injury who may develop hyperosmolar state and continuous seizure.

Hydatid cystic disease of the lung is rare in Korea. Recently, the authors encountered 2 patients with this disease who were treated surgically with a successful outcome in both. The first patient, a 27 year old housewife never traveled outside Korea and the second, 25 year old man had a history of spending a year in Kuwait. These 2 cases are the first documented cases of pulmonary hydatoidosis among Koreans reported in the literature.

From Octorber 1984 through September 1991, 480 patients underwent percutaneous tra-nsluminal coronary angioplasty and 7 of these[1.4%] required coronary artery bypass surgeries in the emergency base. The principal indications for surgery were coronary dis-sections[n=2], acute coronary occlusions[n=3], and ventricular arrhythmias[n=2]. There were two early deaths and one late death. No patient who developed cardiac arrest and had not been resuscitated before surgery survived the operation. The outcome of surgery was related to the preoperative clinical status of patients.

Recently, we experienced one case of multiple ribs fracture with large chest wall defects. This patient was treated with internal fixation of ribs by use of Judet`s struts and reconstruction of chest wall defects by use of Teflon mesh. Postoperative outcome was satisfactory result and its advantages were reduced duration of operation, prevention of pulmonary herniation and reduced risk of postoperative infection.

Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of inspiratory stridor and varying degrees of airway obstruction in infants but rarely occurs in children or adults. However, acquired airway obstruction would be developed due to the presence of redundant mucosa in the aryepjglottic folds similar to that seen in congenital laryngomalacia after central nervous system damage. To this condition, the term“Neurasthenic Laryngomalacia”is applied. We have recently experienced a case of neurasthenic larygomalacia, which has been managed by laser aryepiglottoplasty with good result. We report management and outcome of this patient with a review of the literatures.

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a potentially life-threatening complication in many autoimmune diseases. Early recognition and intervention are essential for a favorable outcome. Neonatal lupus, an acquired autoimmune disease in neonates caused by the transplacental passage of maternal autoantibodies, is rare and usually self-limited. Herein, we report a case of MAS in a patient with neonatal lupus, which improved with intravenous immunoglobulin.
