  • Purpose: This study is a repetitive comparative analysis of a qualitative case study that carried out a home visiting oral health education program. Method: This study conducted an interview survey through medical examination by interview before and after the home visiting oral health education and measured some pathogenic microorganism counts in the denture. Results: There was a positive change in the self oral care ability of the elderly at home after home visiting oral health education, including the behavior of self management of dentures, and some pathogenic microorganism counts in the dentures. Conclusion: The home visiting oral health education of home care service centers can improve oral health care for the elderly at home.

  • This study has been peformed to investigate storage space types of old-fashioned traditional dwelling units where older couples maintain their traditional farming lives. In this study it is observed that residents of the traditional farm-houses are exposed to higher level of environmental and emotional pressures. However it is also observed that the older residents are generally manifesting a consistent subculture of the old-timers without noticeable complaints. The usage and morphology of storage spaces are as follows: (1) Storage space in the ceiling are under control of old couple and used for seasonally varied farm products and household equipment. (3) All the households use longterm storage space under wooden floor; the hidden ground is used for keeping miscellaneous tools and fermented foods for years. Overall in this stud it is observed that traditional farm houses are well modified for physically and emotionally frail elderly residents.

  • To investigate the possibility of crypreservation of mulberry seeds in liquid nitrogen(LN$_2$), characteristics of the seeds were examined after picking mulberry syncarps and drying-heat treatment. Storage in LN$_2$has the potential of providing indifinite preservation of valuable seed germplasm. Determining the tolerance of seeds among given cultivars to LN$_2$cooling and subsequent rewarming is the first step to establishing the feasibility of LN$_2$storage. Seeds of 4 mulberry varities were treated to LN$_2$(-196$\^{C}$) for 24 hours after drying heat treatment. Seed moisture content of Daeryukppong was the highest. As moisture content of mulberry seed was below 1%, storage in LN$_2$was safe. And drying heat treatment for 60 minutes was suitable to prevent decreased germination rate and germination vigor of seeds. The seeds of Cheongilppong were unsuibable to cryopreserve in LN$_2$for longterm storage.

  • Current fire safety in the construction sites has developed piecemeal over a considerable period of time. However, the law and regulation of fire safety is insufficient to protect fro in the construction sites. The frequency of fire in the construction sites is very rare but it brings longterm deterioration durability of building structure and large scale industrial calamity. There are many process of works and each work deals with many kind of flammable material, so it is very difficult to find a proper safety fire prevention. This study executed the questionnaire and fire experiment of the welding work to provide effective fire prevention counterplan.

  • Urinary incontinence is the most common urinary symptom in children and causes considerable anxiety in children and parents. In most cases, there is no underlying organic pathology and the longterm prognosis is excellent. Despite these reassuring facts, children with wetting problems can be a challenge for primary pediatrician. This is probably because the problem is poorly understood, there is no readily identifiable medical pathology, and because treatment is usually time consuming and arduous. There is a great demand for treatment because wetting is an unpleasant symptom that can cause a stress and anxiety in the family. There may also be other coexisting problems such as urinary tract infection, constipation, soiling, and behavioral or emotional difficulties. Despite the frequency and vexing nature of voiding dysfunction, physicians may not always obtain a careful history to identify and to treat children properly with this condition. This article addresses the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to such children.

  • The use of autogenous tissues is preferred for knee ligament reconstruction. However allografts play a role in major ligament reconstructive procedures in which multiple substitutions or revisions are required. In the dislocated knee, allografts may offer an advantage in reconstructing the PCL. But allografts in knee ligament surgery must be considered in terms of biomechanical and regenerative properties, disease transmission and immunogenecity, and methods of preservation and sterilization. Also only a few authors have described the use of allograft for reconstruction of a ruptured PCL, either a single procedure, or in combination with ACL repair following knee dislocation. Furthermore, the problems that the clinician faces with use of allografts is the necessity for supervision to ensure that the grafts are correctly processed, secondarily sterilized, and free of transmissible diseases. For these reasons, the routine use of allograft materials in the treatment of ligament deficiencies should be avoid and provide with meaningful outcome studies, including longterm follow-up.

  • Venous thromboembolism, encompassing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, has increased in cancer patients and adversely affects their prognosis. Low-molecular-weight heparins are recommended as efficacious and safe anticoagulation treatment in cancer patients. However, in practice, oral anticoagulation is preferred, especially if longterm or extended treatment is necessary. Novel oral anticoagulants have recently emerged as an alternative to the standard therapy owing to the ease of administration, predictable anticoagulation effect without the need of laboratory monitoring, and fewer drug interactions. These new agents have been shown as effective and safe for the management of cancer-associated thrombosis in ongoing head-to-head comparative trials. Here we review the advances and limitation of current anticoagulant therapies.

  • The domestic sleep industry is rapidly increasing in market size as it is linked to sleep apnea in the longterm care insurance for the elderly and domestic IT technology. In addition, due to the aging society, the government's support policy is also increasing, and many domestic companies are focusing on the sleep industry. Therefore, this study intends to examine the development strategies of the domestic sleep industry due to the increased social interest and corporate activities. To this end, a survey of 108 domestic companies was conducted by means of a Frequency Analysis, revealing some problems, such as poor sleep companies, insufficient resources for technology development, and limitations in distribution channels. As a result, it was found that for the development of the domestic sleep industry, strategies to strengthen the ecosystem, such as softening strategies through the sleep technology culture, strengthening ecosystems such as revitalizing industrial connections, and reforming laws and regulations, are urgent.

  • Rural Environmental Planning (REP) is a method used by citizens in small towns and rural areas to plan their own future. REP assumes that the primary social value of rural people is to enhance a community's longterm viability by respecting the carrying capacity of the natural environment. REP derives its strength from the direct participation of those people affected by a plan. They determine its goals, shape its content, and implement its components. And both the rural environmental planner and the citizens involved in planning in their community must have a working knowledge of the legal framework of planning. In the results, REP reduces the cost of planning by drawing public agencies, not-for-profit organizations, volunteers from the private sector, and all vital resources available to rural people when they plan for their future.

  • Successful emergency pulmonary embolectomy with the cardiopulmonary bypass was performed in a 41 \ulcorneryear old male who suffered massive pulmonary embolism after longterm bed rest due to the injury of left knee. Temporary cardiopulmonary bypass provided 120 minutes of circulatory support while complete removal of bilateral pulmonary emboli accomplished using Forgarty catheter and Gall stone forceps. Also, manual compression of the lungs was necessary to remove distal branching emboli. The patient had smooth and uneventful hospital course without complications and discharged from hospital taking coumadine on the 13th day after the operation.
