Due to aging of the rural and mountain populations the labor force is reduced. However work intensity continues to increase, thus, there is a need to improve the current effectiveness of forest operations. This study compared and analyzed the Operation productivity and efficiency of planting containerized seedlings using a battery-powered planting auger and a mattock. Growth was also investigated by looking into the initial growth increments in the planted seedlings. Tasks were investigated by analyzing the process and operation time needed to plant 1 containerized seedling using a planting auger and a mattock. The time spent on the various elements of the planting process was measured with a stopwatch but observations were done continuously. Result of the study shows that with the use of a lightweight planting auger the average time spent to plant a containerized seedling is 18.61 seconds while with the use of a mattock it took an average of 26.96 seconds which clearly demonstrates that the planting auger is more efficient in terms of working hours. Working intensity was also analyzed with the use of a portable heart rate monitor (Polar V800). The average increase in heart rate and work intensity index were analyzed for one planting cycle. It was observed that when using the lightweight planting auger, there was a 46.51% increase in the average heart rate while a 74.67% increase in heart rate when the mattock was used which shows that there is a significant increase in heart rate when mattock is used. In addition, work intensity index was observed to be 29.95% and 47.83% when the planting auger and mattock were used respectively. With the continuous use, work intensity index is significantly higher with the use of the mattock as compared to that of the lightweight planting auger. There were no significant differences on the growth increment of seedlings planted using the different tools until a year after planting, however differences in growth increment were observed after a year. A difference of 15.1 cm in height and 3.41 mm in diameter was observed which shows that the use of lightweight planting auger is excellent for planting containerized seedlings.

The purpose of this study was to determine the most accurate technique measuring the apical pulse rate, using three counting duration 15, 30 and 60 seconds, and two methods start ‘0’ and start ‘1’. The instrument used in the study was the EKG monitor, stethoscope and stopwatch. Data was analyzed by utilizing SPSSWIN program. General characteristics of the subjects were analyzed by frequency, percentile, mean, SD. The subject of this research is made up of 46 children and 20 nurses. The children were infants, & under the age of 5. They were hospitalised in PICU & NICU in 2 tertiary hospitals in seoul from Jan. 1. 1998 to Sep. 10. 1998. The measurement of starting 1 & measurement of starting ‘0’ used the T-test to find out the measurement error. Apical pulse duration of 15, 30, 60 seconds were used to find out measurement error, the measurement error depend on experience of Nurse were analyzed by using ANOVA. The result of this study are as follows. 1. When comparing the starting poin of apical pulse 0&1, starting with 1 the measurement error is less, but not statiscally significant. 2. When counting the apical pulse by 15, 30,60 sec. ; 60 seconds counting duration was more accurate, but not statistically significant. 3. The mean of measure error ; Group under 100/min, is 10.33 ; from 100 re 119/min, is 8.30 ; from 120 to 139/min, is 4.76 ; from 140 to 159/min, is 6.09 ; above 160, is 17.83. The differences of these groups are statistically significant. When 60sec were counted, under 140/min the mean of measurement error is 3.4. Also when 30 seconds were counted from 140/min to 159/min the measurement error is 7.14, above 160/min the measurement error is 16.4. That measurement mean is the smallest than the other durations. During the 15 sec. count the measurement error was the largest of them all. 4. By the experience of the nurses, the apical pulse count measurement error was discovered. Under a year experience this measurement error was the largest(11.09), 1 year to under 3 years, the error is the smallest(4.86). 3 year to under 6 years the error is 8.33, 5 years above the error is 6.11 but this is not statistical significant. Under a year experience when counting 15, 30, 60 seconds the error is the largest. The group of the nurses from a year to under 3 years, the measurement error is the smallest of all the groups. The result of the study is to determine the technique measuring the apical pulse rate, Hargest (1974), starting point ‘0’ is not proved. When the pulse rate increases the 30 sec measurement rate is accurate. Under 140/min the 60 sec measurement rate is the most accurate. Depending on the nurses experiences, there is a variable difference to the apical pulse rate measurement. Especially new nurses training courses should enforce the children’s pulse rate count and the basic vital signs.

Background: Some clinical trials have reported that a new analgesic combination of tramadol and acetaminophen provides good efficacy in various pain models. For the more clinical uses of this agent, comparisons about the onset of analgesia and analgesic efficacy in the acute state of pain with the other drugs known as strong analgesics were needed. Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the times to onset of analgesia and the other analgesic efficacy of 75 mg tramadol/650 mg acetaminophen and 20 mg codeine/500 mg acetaminophen/400 mg ibuprofen in the treatment of acute pain after oral surgery. Patients and Methods: Using a randomized, single-dose, parallel-group, single-center, and active-controlled test design, this clinical study compared the times to onset of analgesia using a two-stopwatch technique and the other analgesic efficacy of the single-dose tramadol/acetaminophen and codeine/acetaminophen/ibuprofen. These were assessed in 128 healthy subjects with pain from oral surgical procedures involving extraction of one or more impacted third molars requiring bone removal. From the time of pain development, the times to onset of perceptible and meaningful pain relief, pain intensity, pain relief, an overall assessment, and adverse events of the study medications were recorded for 6 hours. Results: The demographic distribution and baseline pain data in the two groups were statistically similar. The median times to onset of perceptible pain relief were 21.0 and 24.4 minutes in the tramadol/acetaminophen and codeine/acetaminophen/ibuprofen groups respectively and those to onset of meaningful pain relief were 56.4 and 57.3 minutes, which were statistically similar. The other efficacy variables such as mean total pain relief (TOTPAR) and the sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) were also similar in the early period after pain development and drug dosing. The safety of tramadol/acetaminophen was well tolerated and very comparable to that of codeine/acetaminophen/ibuprofen. Conclusions: In this acute dental pain model, the onset of analgesia and analgesic efficacy of tramadol/acetaminophen was comparable to that of codeine/acetaminophen/ibuprofen. These results showed that tramadol/acetaminophen was recommendable for fast and effective treatment in the management of postoperative acute pain.

유방암 환자의 감시림프절 생검을 위하여 현재 방사성동위원소와 blue dye를 이용한 감시림프절 매핑(Mapping)이 선행되고 있다. 현재 모든 환자에 대하여 일괄적인 검사방법이 적용되므로 환자의 유방의 크기나 비만도와 같은 특성이 고려되지 않아 림프절의 흐름이 느린 환자의 경우, 림프절을 충분히 형성하지 못한 채 검사가 종료되는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 환자의 신체적 특성인 체질량지수와 유방의 크기에 따른 림프액의 속도차이를 관찰하였다. 이를 통해 방사성동위원소를 이용한 유방의 감시림프절 신티그래피 에서 환자의 특성을 고려한 최적의 검사시간을 도출하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구는 2011년 10월부터 2011년 12월까지 수술직전 유방의 감시림프절 신티그래피를 시행한 100명(여성 100명, 평균연령 $50.34{\pm}10.26$)를 대상으로 하였다. 장비는 감마카메라 Forte (Philips Medical Systems, Nederland B.V.)를 사용하였으며, 방사성의약품은 $^{99m}Tc$-Phytate 18.5 MBq, 0.5 ml를 피내주사하였다. 먼저 80명의 환자를 대상으로 기존의 5분 검사방법대신 충분히 림프절을 형성할 때까지 시간의 제한 없이 영상을 획득하였다. 이를 통해 환자의 유방크기와 체질량지수 별 그룹을 나누어 평균 검사시간을 구하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 검사시간을 변화시킨 변형 유방 림프신티그래피를 20명의 환자에게 시행하여 유용성을 확인하였다. 80명의 대상 중 유방의 크기에 따른 평균 검사시간은 A그룹 2.48분, B그룹 7.69분, C그룹 10.43분이었다. 80명의 대상 중 체질량지수에 따른 평균 검사시간은 저 체중 1.35분, 표준 2.56분, 과 체중 5.62분, 비만 15분이었다. 앞서 얻어진 정보를 바탕으로 각 그룹별 적절한 검사시간을 적용하여 검사를 시행하였다. 결과는 20명 중 성공평가를 받은 경우는 17회 실패평가를 받은 경우는 3회로 총 85% 성공률을 나타내었다. 유방의 크기와 체질량지수에 따른 총 검사 시간은 체질량지수가 높을수록, 유방의 크기가 클수록 증가하였으며, 얻어진 정보를 바탕으로 기존 검사방법에서 검사시간만을 변화시킨 변형 유방 림프신티그래피를 적용하였을 때 대부분의 경우 검사시간 내 림프절을 형성할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 모든 환자에게 일괄적으로 적용하던 검사방법보다 개인의 신체적 특성을 고려한 적절한 검사시간을 각각 다르게 적용하였을 때 검사에서 높은 성공률을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
