The purposes of this work were to assess the cognition of the registered nurse(RN) on oral and maxillofacial emergency treatment and to compare cognition of the RN with that of the 119 emergency medical technician(EMT). 450 RNs who were working at each of secondary hospitals in Jeju province had responded to the questionnaire. Independent sample t-test and chi-square test were used to assess the state of RN on dental emergency treatment and to compare RN with EMT. The question 'education time on dentistry in formal education' that marked '0 hour' and '1-3 hours' were 73.3% and 20.0%, respectively. The question 'refresher training class on dentistry' that marked '0 hour' and '1-3 hours' were 92.9% and 6.7%, aggregately 99.6%. The results showed low score in the question 'reduction of temporo-mandibular joint(TMJ)'($1.67{\pm}0.857$), 'fixation of dislocated TMJ'($1.70{\pm}0.853$) and 'post-avulsed tooth treatment'($1.78{\pm}0.774$) by 5-point Likert scale. Likewise, the scores were $2.02{\pm}0.806$ in the question 'treatment of maxillofacial trauma', $2.76{\pm}1.061$ in the question 'emergent care of avulsed tooth', $2.70{\pm}1.095$ in the question 'treatment time of avulsed tooth' and $2.79{\pm}1.056$ in the question 'mouth guard', respectively. Compared to EMT, results of RN showed a statistically lower figure(p<0.05) in all items compared except the question 'medicine control', and the question 'doctor care in emergency room' was borderline(p=0.069). From this study, it is necessary for RN and student of nursing science to be educated on the oral and maxillofacial emergency treatment for the initial management of injuries. Authors suggest further co-study and nation-wide research with nursing care.

본 연구에서는 free radicals의 산화적인 손상에 의한 세포사멸에 있어서 녹차성분의 하나인 (-)epigallocatechin gallate의 억제효과를 규명하였다. 우선 radicals 소거작용에 있어서 (-)epigallocatechin gallate는 탁월한 항산화력을 발휘하였다. 혈관손상과 직결되는 혈관내피세포를 이용하여 hydroxyl radical의 $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 산화적인 손상을 유발시켜 세포생존율을 조사하였는데, (-)epigallocatechin gallate는 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 농도에서는 그 자체 독성이 없었고 $H_2O$$_2$의 산화적 독성효과를 경감시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 flavone인 apigenin은 고농도에서 독성을 가지며 radical 소거활성이 미약하고 $H_2O$$_2$의 산화독성은 경감시키지 못하였다. 다양한 세포사멸 검출법을 이용하여 세포 및 세포핵의 형태학적 양상을 조사한 결과, 0.25mM $H_2O$$_2$에 의한 24시간 이내의 세포죽음은 세포사멸현상에 의하여 초래되었다. 그러나 이러한 세포사멸과정을 겪고 있는 혈관내피세포에 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ (-)epigallocatechin gallate를 처리한 경우에 세포핵의 응축이나 DNA fragmentation은 사라지고 세포사멸작용을 억제시키는 효과를 보여주었다. 예상한 바와 같이 apigenin의 flavone은 세포사멸 억제효과를 나타내지 못하였다. (-)Epigallocatechin gallate는 녹차에 함유된 catechins의 하나로서 free radicals의 산화적 손상에 의한 세포사멸에 있어서 탁월한 방어적 인 세포생리학적인 기능을 지니고 있으며, 혈관노화 및 혈관손상과 함께 유발되는 세포사멸성 심혈관질환의 예방과 치료에 기능성 식품 신소재로서 활용될 수 있으리라 본다.

상처치유는 growth factor와 cytokine들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 일어나는 과정이다. GM-CSF는 호중구와 대식세포를 분화시키고 각질세포를 증식시키는 다면발현성 사이토카인으로 여러 세포에서 재조합되어 사용되고 있다. (주)핸슨바이오텍에서 개발한 rice cell 유래의 재조합 rrhGM-CSF는 다른 세포에서 유래된 GM-CSF들보다 탄수화물 측쇄가 많은 것이 특징이다. rrhGM-CSF의 창상치유효과를 알아보기 위하여 햄스터에 만성 당뇨를 유도하여 상처치유가 어려운 동물모델을 만든 후, 등쪽에 인위적으로 피부 전 층을 제거하여 창상을 유발하였다. 실험군에는 rrhGM-CSF가 포함된 연고를 적용하고, 대조군에는 base cream만을 적용하여 재상피화되는 과정과 피부조직의 구조 및 PCNA 반응을 통한 세포증식 정도를 비교하였다. 육안 및 조직학적 관찰 결과, rrhGM-CSF를 적용한 그룹의 재상피화 속도가 더 빨랐으며, PCNA 면역조직화학적 조사에서도 증식하는 각질세포의 수가 대조군보다 상대적으로 많은 것으로 나타남으로써, rrhGM-CSF에 의한 피부상처 치유 효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들로 미루어 보아 벼세포 유래의 rrhGM-CSF는 국소적인 피부 창상 치유에 효과적인 것으로 보이며, rrhGM-CSF의 풍부한 당화 사슬은 이 단백질이 상처부위에 안정된 상태로 기능을 나타냄으로써 효과를 오랫동안 지속시킬 수 있었던 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: We evaluated the physical stress and pain to the musculoskeletal system of a dental practitioner when engaging in a dental scaling training exercise to prevent the development of musculoskeletal injuries. Methods: The 18 female (average age: 21$\pm$1 years) subjects were voluntarily picked from a group of juniors who have completed a one-and-a-half year training course that includes training exercises on the dentiform and on live subjects (other trainees). The test is done by measuring pain, activity, grip strength, and finger dexterity for each subject's hand and wrist. Before the test all subjects were confirmed to be right-handed and were informed of the study and its objective. Measuring was done before and after each subject performed dental scaling for one hour using the scaler and the curet. Results: Pain levels increased for both hand and shoulders, but hand pain was often greater than shoulder pain. Grip strength significantly declined in the right hand but not the left. For joint mobility, the flexion and the extension for the shoulder joint did not change; but the range of motion for both wrist joints significantly increased. For the dexterity test, both hands showed increased dexterity after the exercise. Conclusion: Dental scaling can affect the shoulders and wrists/hands. Therefore, a musculoskeletal injury prevention program for dental practitioners, which may include encouraging them to assume correct body posture when at work, must be sought. This study evaluated only the shoulders, wrists, and hands; but future studies should include areas such as the cervical area, the back, and the lower limbs.

Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles covering the investigation of constructed facilities and systems that fail to perform as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property, environmental, economy etc. In the year 2012, two collapsed accidents of the large scaffolding system in national thermal power station occurred one after another, causing many casualties. In this study, we had performed to investigate the collapsed accident of scaffolding system occurred in the a thermal power station of two accidents. First, the investigation about the collapsed accidents site had performed to understand collapsed state and structures of the scaffolding system. Second, reviewing the materials concerning about the applied weight on the scaffolding system had performed. The applied weight is sum of the weights of the 15 workers, additional materials for coating work and dispersed and loaded shot ball on the foothold etc. the applied weight that calculated exceed more three times than the safe working load. Third, we had confirmed the install state of the materials of the scaffolding system by reviewing the quantity of the materials on the manual and the real system. Last, structural analysis had performed to evaluate structural integrity of the scaffolding system using Ansys. Through a series of this processes, the definite accidents causes of the collapsed scaffolding system revealed. Through these studies, the collapse accident that may occur in the scaffolding system in thermal power station can be minimized by performing specialized and systematic investigation on the accidents in terms of Forensic engineering.

The work analyzes the existing situation and defines special problems concerning traffic accidents in the two countries. The report is divided into three parts: 1) Using the global approach of SMEED, the data were evaluated using multiple regression analysis, and homogeneous groups of countries were defined by cluster analysis. In the global approach, the linear model is better than SMEED's non-linear model in explaining the number of fatalities. Among the different groups of countries, the linear approach was found to be better suited for industrialized countries and the non-linear approach better for the developing countries. T도 comparison of traffic fatality data for the Federal Republic the developing countries. The comparison of traffic fatality data for the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Korea showed different regression equations during the same time period. 2) The BOX/JENKINS time series analysis on a monthly basis points out clearly similar seasonal patterns for the two countries over the years studied. The decrease in traffic accidents following the intensification of the safety belt requirement was proved in the ARIMA model. It amounts to 7 to 8 percent fewer personal injury accidents and fatal accidents. The identified increase in safety in the Federal Republic of Germany since the 1970s is mainly due to the reduction of accident severity in residential areas. 3) Speeds and headways on motorways in th3e two countries were also compared. The measurements point out that German road users drive faster, take more risks, and accept shorter time gaps than Korean road users. However, the accident statistics show accident rates for Korea that are several times higher than those in the Federal Republic of Germany.
