  • Moyamoya is a chronic cerebrovascular disease chracterized by progressive stenosis or occlusion of the terminal parts of both internal carotid arteries with telangiectatic vascular network of collateral circuration at the base of the brain and leptomeningeal arteries. The etiology and pathophysiology of this disease are still unknown. The clinical course in those whose first symptoms occur in childhood is different from those in whom symptoms develop in adult life. The term moyamoya disease should be resserved for those cases in which the chracteristic angiographic pattern is idiopathic; moayamoya syndrome is used when the underlying condition is known. we have experienced a case of moyamoya syndrome in a 5-year-2-month-old boy who presented right-sided hemiparesis. A cerebral angiogram revealed occlusion of abnomal collateral network. Moyamoya disease is applicable to stroke of an infant from oriental medicine point of view, and The symptoms is similar to adult stroke, we have treated adult stroke patint with herb medicine and acupuncutre and physical treatment. The acute stage of stroke is applied to the external treatment(標治), and The recovery stage is applied to the basic treament(本治).

  • The purpose of this study was to development CPR training course to promote wide spread training. The course objectives was based on international Guidelines 2000. The course presents information about the AHA adult Chain of survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and chocking in adult, and includes information about healty heart living and actions to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The course also presents information about the AHA infant and chila Chain of survival, signs of breathing emergencies and chocking in infants and children, prevention of sudden infant death syndrome, and prevention of the most common fatal injuies in infants and children. Vedio-mediated instruction is the primary approach to teaching psycomotor skills.

  • Ventricular assist device(VAD) has been clinically applied as a temporary circulatory sup- porting system in the patients with severe heart failure, but small sized VAD for infant is not available. The purpose of tilis paper is to introdIAce small sized VAD and presents the result of in vitro test. Sejong VAD is diaphragmatic type of pneumatic pump and stroke volume is 11cc. Cardiac outputs of the Sejong VAD were measured by overflow tank under variable conditions of driving parameters. The cardiac output was 1.3 1/min at the heart rate of 120 per minute, left atrial pressure of $15cmH_2O$, percent systole of 43%, driving pressure of 240 mmHg, vacuum pressure of -40 mmHg, and mean aortic pressure of 70 mmHg. No mechanical problem was developed during the continuous in vitro test for 3 months.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore mother's perception and practice of Taegyo. In addition, belief factors toward Taegyo oriented Korean mother-fetus interaction are identified in order to obtain baseline data for the development of Taegyo oriented program enhancing mother-fetus interaction. Method: The sample consisted to 186 pregnant women who visited public health center or hospital for prenatal care. Self-reporting questionnaire devised by investigator was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS win program and contents analysis was used. Result: Although mothers intended to a pregnancy, many of them were perceived negatively toward pregnancy. The study revealed that most of pregnant women continued cultural practices related to Taegyo, they focused on mother-fetus interaction behavior-such as listen to the music, reading a book, talk to fetus, stroke the fetus- with being altered traditional beliefs toward Taegyo or Taemong. Most of pregnant women had Taemong and believed a it's predictive functions. Beliefs toward mother-fetus interaction were classified to 6 factors, pregnancy, Taemong. fetus, practice behavior, infant's abilities and mother-fetus interaction behavior. The scores of belief toward mother-fetus interaction and each factors of pregnancy, fetus, practice behavior, infant's ability were statistically significant different depending upon husbands education. Also pregnancy factor in belief toward mother-fetus interaction was statistically significant different depending upon the number of children, child birth, experience of abortion, premature birth. Conclusion: Developing Taegyo oriented program enhancing the mother-fetus interaction need to include the elements of being facilitated maternal identity formation and maternal confidence for the pregnant women. In addition, it should be developed the program concerning with the characteristics of the pregnant women.
