Objective: To investigate the prevalence of malocclusion with respect to grade, sex, and year among Korean pre-adolescent and adolescent students during 2012-2017. Methods: A total of 165,996 students (first grade [E1, 6-7 years of age], fourth grade [E4, 9-10 years], seventh grade [M1, 12-13 years], and tenth grade [H1, 15-16 years]) were selected by stratified sampling method and underwent the nationwide oral health examination performed by the Ministry of Education, Republic of Korea. The malocclusion assessments based on dentists' judgments were "no malocclusion," "needs orthodontic treatment (N-OTx)," and "under orthodontic treatment (U-OTx)." The sum of N-OTx and U-OTx cases was determined as the number of students with malocclusion. After analyzing the prevalence of malocclusion according to grade, sex, and year-by-year differences, Pearson correlation analyses and two-way analyses of variance were performed. Results: The prevalence of malocclusion was 18.7%, which increased with the grades (E1 [8.3%] < E4 [15.8%] < M1 [22.9%] < H1 [25.3%], p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of malocclusion in each grade group for the period (p > 0.05) without significant correlation (E1, ρ = 0.129; E4, ρ = -0.495; M1, ρ = 0.406; H1, ρ = -0.383; all p > 0.05). The prevalence of malocclusion within each grade group over the six-year period was more prominent in the female (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Further studies are necessary to modify the malocclusion assessment method to account for specific types of malocclusion in pre-adolescent and adolescent students.

본 연구는 청소년기 흰쥐를 대상으로 4주간의 저강도 트레드밀 운동이 기억력과 해마 신경세포생성, BDNF, Trkb, 중격 콜린세포에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 먼저 운동이 기억력에 미치는 효과를 step-through avoidance에서 검사한 결과 운동을 실시했던 흰쥐의 retention latency가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 기억력 향상을 나타내었다. 이후 기억력 향상기전으로 해마에서 신경세포증식과 BDNF 및 TrkB 단백질 발현을 정량화 한 결과에서도 운동군의 신경세포 생성율과 BDNF와 TrkB 단백질 발현 모두 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 게다가 운동을 통한 전뇌 콜린세포 수의 증가가 해마 신경세포생성과 BDNF 발현 증가에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 청소년기 운동이 기억력 향상에 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다.

‘청소년기 경계선 장애’의 치료는 전반적으로 모든 정신과 질환을 치료할 때와 마찬가지로 각 경우마다 다르게 접근해야 할 것이다. 즉, 환자개인의 독특한 역동과 성격구조를 바탕으로 개인적으로 치료접근을 모색하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 어느정도의 기본이 될만한 것이 있다면 다음과 같다. 우선 청소년기의 심리를 이해함에 있어서 그들이 ‘제2의 개체화 시기’라는 점을 알아 사춘기의 신체적 변화에 따른 성신내적 상태의 변화, 특히 성동력 및 공격성 동력의 항진을 염두해 두어야 할 것이다. 또한, 청소년기의 심리를 바탕으로 경계선 장애의 특징인 비교적 ‘약화된 자아’와 ‘주체성의 상실’을 치료자와의 전이 관계를 통해 적절히 이해하고 다루는 것이 필요하다. 실제적으로는 치료의 중립성을 바탕으로 하는 분석치료보다는 어느정도의 지지를 동반한 ‘분석적지지요법’(analytic supportive psychotherapy)가 효과적이라고 할 것이다.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect and satisfaction measurement of the Korean medicine treatment on the adolescent dysmenorrhea. Methods: The subjects of this study were 24 volunteers, suffering from dysmenorrhea, who were middle and high school students in Jeonbuk province. They were treated by Korean medicine, those were acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and herbal medicine, for two months from July to December 2015. The results were investigated by the visual analogue scale (VAS) of overall pain, most severe pain and amount of the analgesic taken for menstrual period. The effects of treatment were assessed three times, those were before treatment, after treatment for 1 month and after treatment for 2 months, for two months. Results: The VAS score on dysmenorrhea was decreased significantly. Also, the VAS score on the disturbance in school activity was decreased significantly. The amount of analgesic taken for menstrual period was decreased, but not significantly.

Background: There have been many reports of nasal bone fractures in adults, but there are few clinical reports of them in adolescents, although adolescence is the main growth period of the nasal bone. In addition, previous studies have tended to classify and describe child and adolescent nasal fractures in the same category. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical aspects of nasal fractures in adolescents, and to evaluate the characteristics of nasal fractures in the growth period. Methods: Our institution's database was reviewed to extract data on adolescent patients between the age of 13 to 18 who had isolated nasal bone fractures from March 2012 to February 2020. The study excluded patients with other facial fractures, previous facial fractures, or congenital deformities. Results: This study included 243 boys and 26 girls. Interpersonal violence and sports-related accidents accounted for 85 and 79 cases, respectively. There were 128 frontal impact injuries and 132 lateral impact injuries, and 97 patients had accompanying septal fractures. An accompanying septal fracture was present in 36.06% of all patients, but in 51.20% of those who underwent surgery. Conclusion: The prevalence of adolescent nasal fractures was significantly higher in boys, to a greater extent than observed for pediatric or adult fractures. The main causes of fractures were interpersonal violence and sports-related accidents. An explanation for these results is that adolescent boys are more prone to have violent accidents or companionship with active sports than other age or sex groups, leading to substantially more fractures.

Computer simulations were performed for Heating Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to figure out more efficient maintenance methods for the building used for adolescent trainees. This study aims at suggesting design alternatives for optimum operation and performing life cycle cost (LCC) for each alternative. First, the capacity of the heat source equipment was determined using annual maximum heating and cooling loads. Annual loads were calculated and applied to the alternative for the purpose of calculating annual energy cost. Second, several types of data were collected to predict energy cost. Finally, the pay back period for each alternative was calculated using total cost estimation during standard duration period. This study indicates that the absorption chiller that does not occupy most part of a mechanical room, and does not need much operation cost was most economical.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the latest clinical trends in peripheral facial nerve palsy pediatric and adolescent patients who treated in Korean medicine hospital. Methods The study was conducted based on 185 cases of pediatric and adolescent patients with peripheral facial nerve paralysis who visited Korean medicine hospital from January 2017 to June 2022. Results The mean age of onset of facial nerve paralysis in children and adolescents was 11.7 years, and the incidence rate was higher in boys than in girls. The seasonal distribution was the most common in autumn, and 91.4% were diagnosed with Bell's palsy. The recurrence rate was 7.6%. The severity was evaluated on the House-Brackmann Grading System (HBGS) scale, and the most common was Grade III. It took an average of 6.5 days from the date of onset to visit the hospital, and 75.7% visited the hospital within a week from the date of onset. Hospitalized treatment was 69.2%. The higher the HBGS grade, the more hospitalized treatment was, and the total number of treatments and the duration of treatment tended to increase. The average treatment period from the first visit date was 119.6 days. 17.8% received only Korean medicine treatment, and 69.2% took Western medicine with herbal medicine. Conclusions In this study, there was a difference in the average treatment period from previous studies according to the study period setting. Long-term studies on the recovery rate and prognosis of pediatric facial paralysis are needed.
