l. Backgrounds of Studies Cerebrovascular accident. one of the three major causes of death among audults with cardiopathy and malignancy, has been on the increase in korea while it is on the decrease in European countries and Japan. Types of stroke undergo changes caused by prolongment of life expectancy. and social and economic variety. More patients of ischemic stroke show a tendency to increase now than those of hemorrhagic stroke in the past. Many clinical studies on medical cerebrovascular and oriental stroke of paralysis have been published. but few clinical studies on therapeutics of integrated oriental and western medicine are to be found. So I have made an attempt to study clinical observations and therapeutic responses of ischemic stroke under integrated oriental and western medicine. 2.Methods. Among the patients admitted into the clinic of Joong-Poong, Woo-Suk University Hospital from May 1. 1993 until April 30. 1994 those 56 patients who were diagnosed as ischemic stroke on Computed Tomography(CT) and showed no dubious symptom after examination of coagulation and bleeding time were classified into the following six steps and treated: l)diagnosis 2)emergency treatment 3)basic treatment 4)treatment of risk and provoking factors. and preceeding disease 5)complications and conservative therapy 6)rehabilitation. For a period of basic treatment both herb medication and urokinase therapy were applied at the same time. Intravenous injection has been given at a unit of 300.000 dosage a day as urokinase therapy during basic treatment. If they showed any dubious symptom in glucose tolerance test. fructose 500ml and urokinase 300.000 dosage were mixed and injected. In case of no symptom 5% DW 500ml was mixed with urokinase 300.000 unit. and injected at a speed of 15gtt per minute. 3. Results and Conclusions 1) The level of ambulation has been improved from 42.9% when admitted to 73.2% when discharged in the degree of recovery. The level of severe function disorder has been remarkably decreased from 55.4% when admitted to 19.6% when discharged. 2) The treatment effect on the basis of therapeutic response of clinical and subjective symptom shows as follows: 7.1% Excellent. 35.7% Good. 37.5% Effective. 10.7% Stationary. and 8.9% Aggravated. The total recovery above effective shows 80.3%. Judging from the above results I think it proper to develop the model of better preventing and treating ischemic stroke through effective therapeutic and clinical studies of integrated oriental and western medicine.

A Cerebrovascular accident(CVA), or Stroke is a medical emergency that occurred when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or blocked. The stroke causes physical function disorder due to hemiparalysis and emotional disorder. Also the stroke patients experience helplessness, powerlessness, sense of alienation and loss of hope. These feelings make the rehabilitation difficult because they lose the will of life. The purpose of this study is to identify the correlation between perceived social support and hope of stroke survivors. The subjects for this study were 100 out-patients with stroke in one general hospital and oriental medicine hospital located in Mokpo. The data were analysed by frequency, t-test, ANOVA. Duncan test, Pearson's correlation, using the SPSS WIN 9.0 program. Data were collected from July 11 to September 9, 2000, using a structured questionnaire. The instruments used for this study : The social support scale developed by Park, Ji-won(1985) and the hope scale developed by Miller(1988). The results were as follows. 1. It was found that the higher the degree of perceived social support, the higher the degree of hope(r=.726, p=.000). Therefore hypothesis was supported. 2. The mean score of perceived social support was 77.8(SD=21.0) with a score range from 27.0 to 104.0. 3. The mean score of perceived hope was 117.0(SD=25.7) with a score range from 57.0 to 160.0. 4. The level of social support depending on general characteristics were significantly different in variables such as marital status(t=3.131, p=.010). degree of income satisfaction(F=16.027, p=.000). 5. The level of hope depending on general characteristics were significantly different in variables such as marital status(t=2.681, p=.040). current job(t=-2.055, p=.043) degree of income, satisfaction(F=11.363, p=.000). For these subjects, there was a significant relationship between social support and hope. The stroke survivors need social support to inspire their hope. Nurses should plan interventions to enhance social support for patients with stroke. The above results may be used as the basic data to seek more efficient way of elevating nursing practice and rehabilitation for the patients with stroke.

배경: 최근 관상동맥 우회수술의 조기 성적이 향상됨에 따라 뇌 경색을 비롯한 신경계 합병증이 수술 후 경과를 결정하는 중요한 합병증으로서 비중이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 관상동맥 우회수술 후에 발생하는 신경계 합병증의 발생 양상을 분석하고 그 위험인자를 규명하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 관상동맥 우회수술을 시행받은 351명의 환자를 대상으로 신경계 합병증의 발생 여부와 형태, 위험인자를 분석하였다. 신경계 합병증은 새로운 뇌 경색이 확진된 경우와 수술후 의식 및 지남력의 완전한 회복이 24시간 이상 지연된 경우로 정의하였다. 결과: 대상 환자중 18명(5.1%)에서 신경계 합병증이 발생하였으며 그 중 뇌 경색이 확진된 환자는 9명(2.6%)이었다. 운동마비를 동반한 뇌 경색이 4명에서 발생하였고 4명은 정신 지체나 지남력 장애의 형태로 나타났으며 뇌사 판정을 받은 환자가 1명 있었다. 나머지 9명은 뇌 경색의 증거는 발견되지 않았으나 의식 및 지남력의 완전 회복이 지연된 환자들이었다. 통계적 분석 결과 180분 이상의 심폐 바이패스, 수술중 상행 대동맥의 죽상경화반이 진단된 경우, 초음파 검사로 진단된 경동맥 협착, 뇌졸중이나 일과성 뇌허혈의 과거력 등이 단변량 및 다변량 분석 모두에서 의미있는 위험인자로 분석되었다. 그밖에 고령(65세 이상), 흉부 단순 촬영상 대동맥의 석회화가 발견된 경우, 수술중 심근 경색 등도 단변량 분석시 의미있는 위험인자였다. 대동맥궁 삽관이나 single clamp technique 등 신경학적 합병증의 예방에 기여할 것으로 기대되었던 수술 수기상의 변형은 합병증 발생 빈도에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 분석되었으며 경동맥 협착의 정도 역시 합병증 발생 빈도와 상관관계가 없었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 관상동맥 우회수술 후의 신경계 합병증의 발생 원인은 복합적이긴 하지만 근본적으로는 동맥계의 동맥경화성 병변과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 합병증의 예방을 위해서는 수술전 동맥경화성 병변에 대한 전신적인 평가와 함께 고위험군 환자들의 경우 적극적인 수술 수기의 변형을 검토할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

법원은 2014년에도 의료와 관련된 의미 있는 판결들을 선고하였다. 법원은 수술 시 의료기구를 본래의 용도와 달리 사용하던 중 부러진 경우 이로 인한 사고에 의료진의 과실을 추정하였고, 설명의무와 관련하여 안전성이 검증되지 않은 수술을 시행하는 경우 설명의무 위반과 부작용 발생 사이의 인과관계를 인정하여 전손해배상이 인정될 수 있다는 점, 미용수술의 경우 일반적인 의료행위에 비하여 설명의무의 대상이 확대되어야 하는 점, 예상할 수 없는 범위에까지 설명의무를 인정할 수는 없는 점 등을 판시하였다. 또한 법원은 환자의 자기결정권과 의사의 진료의무 사이에 충돌이 발생한 경우 자기결정권 행사의 요건과 한계를 제시하였으며, 자동차보험계약이란 자동차사고와 관련된 배상 책임은 보험회사가 부담하기로 하는 계약이므로 비록 의료법에 위반되어 설립된 사무장 병원이라 하더라도 환자를 치료하고 보험금을 수령하는 것은 불법행위에 해당하지 않는다고 판시하였다. 의료기관 자체가 부당한 경제적 이익을 얻었을 뿐 의료기관 종사자들이 별다른 이익을 얻지 않은 경우, 리베이트 수수를 금지하는 의료법에 따라 의료기관 종사자들을 처벌할 수 없다는 견해를 밝힌 판결도 눈에 띈다. 그리고 법원은 업무정지처분을 받은 의료기관을 폐업하더라도 같은 장소에서 같은 운영자가 새로이 의료기관을 개설하는 경우 처분의 효과가 미친다고 판시하였고, 의사가 스스로 개설한 의료기관 외에서 진료행위를 할 수 있는 요건에 대하여 판시하였으며, 의료법을 위반한 혐의로 유죄 판결이 확정되기 전에는 이를 이유로 행정처분을 할 수 없다고 판시하였다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to describe the characteristics of patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Methods: We retrospectively surveyed data from the Emergency Department based Injury In-depth Surveillance of 20 hospitals (2011-2014). We included patients whose mechanism of injury was acute CO poisoning caused by inhalation of gases from charcoal or briquettes. We surveyed the annual frequency, gender, age, result of emergency treatment, rate of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, result of admission, association with alcohol, and place of accident. We also surveyed the cause and experience of past suicide attempts by intentional poisoning. Results: A total of 3,405 patients were included (2,015 (59.2%) and 1,390 (40.8%) males and females, respectively) with a mean age of $39.83{\pm}18.51$ year old. The results revealed that the annual frequency of CO poisoning had increased and the frequency of unintentional CO poisoning was higher than that of intentional CO poisoning in January, February and December. The mean age of intentional CO poisoning was younger than that of unintentional CO poisoning ($38.41{\pm}13.03$ vs $40.95{\pm}21.83$) (p<0.001). The rates of discharge against medical advice (DAMA), ICU care and alcohol association for intentional CO poisoning were higher than for unintentional CO poisoning (36.4% vs 14.0%, 17.8% vs 4.7%, 45.2% vs 5.6%) (p<0.001). The most common place of CO poisoning was in one's residence. Conclusion: The annual frequency of total CO poisoning has increased, and unintentional CO poisoning showed seasonal variation. DAMA, ICU care, and alcohol association of intentional CO poisoning were higher than those of unintentional CO poisoning.

This study aims to develop protective pants to relieve impact from falls and to present basic data for the development. The survey results are as follows; First, 45% of the respondents were in their 60s and 55% of them were in their over 70s and older. Also, 64% of them have fallen once for the past year and 36% of them have fallen twice or more. The older they were, the more there were those who have fallen twice or more. This indicated the older people has experienced more fall accidents again after a initial fall accident. Second, as per accident situations, the survey showed that fall accidents happened the most in the winter and in the afternoon (12-18 pm). Also, it happened on a street mostly and they were wearing sneakers or hiking boots when they got a hurt slipped in a front or side by missing their step in a walk. The injury areas are mostly knee and ankle. They had the bruises or a sprain in their knee and ankle mostly. The rate of bone fracture was 19.5%. Therefore, the protection area to falls in lower body is the knee. But hip and hip joint should be protected with knee as well because those are usually be broken when it is damaged. Third, approximately 80% of those who were hospitalized for treatment had surgery. Patients who had surgery were rather in their over 70s than in their 60s. The older they were, the more serious their fracture was. The period of hospital or outpatient treatment is more than three weeks in many cases. They responded their health got worse after falls. Aftereffects of accidents were physical discomfort, anxiety and medical costs. Falls to the old makes physical damage, psychological damage, which cause reduced physical activity and the increased cost of health care with economic losses. So it results on a negative impact on the life of the old. Fourth, elderly females were rarely aware of impact protective clothing and they have never purchased such clothing. For impact protective pants, the major consideration was suitable design for their body types. They liked casual style with front or side pockets and simple designs without any patterns or decorations. As per pants materials, they responded that they need functionality, activity and elasticity. Among the functional points, insulation of cloths are considered importantly, so the heat reservance of material in the impact protective pants should be considered carefully.

Purpose: This descriptive study was designed to explore the clinical nurse's ethical value regarding human life. Method: Data were collected from September to October, 2002. Study subjects were 527 clinical nurses working in General Hospital as tertiary located in Seoul. Ethical value was measured with questionnaire developed by researchers and consisted on items regarding ethical value on human life. Result: Among the items, most nurses highly agree with the item, "When a patient requests his/her health care provider to keep his/her personal secret, the health care provider is obliged to do so." and "When a patient asks for information on his/her medicinal and dietary contents, his/her wish must be granted." Most clinical nurses mainly agree with the item. "Health care providers must always be honest to the patient and/or his/her family". However, most nurses disagree with the item, "When a patient is on the verge of death after an accident, it is justifiable to soothe his/her family by saying 'he/she is OK' instead of telling them the truth, in order to avoid a sudden shock befalling on them". Most clinical nurses mainly disagree with the items, "When a patient is on the verge of death after an accident, it is justiable to soothe his/her family by saying 'he/she is OK' instead of telling them the truth, in order to avoid a sudden shock befalling on them" and "It is justiable that various new ways of treatment should be applied to patient at his/her terminal stage to prolong his/her life, even for the purpose of research". There were significant differences in some items of ethical value according by clinical nurse's age and professional experience, current position, religion, education, marital status, continued education on ethics, and the experience of holing on life saving treatment. Conclusion: It is intensifying the notion of ethical underpinning for human rights, truthfulness is essential to a trust relationship under what circumstances. Also most clinical nurses agree with that It is essential to trust in the nurse-patient relationship, patients have the right to know and it is the ethical thing to do as health care provider.

Purpose: There are many reports about facial bone fractures, but limited to retrospective data of a single hospital. Etiology and severity of the facial bone fracture have been changed and treatment method and materials have been advanced. In order to reflect those changes and provide up-to-date data of the facial bone fractures in Daegu, we gathered the data and analyzed the epidemiologic study. Methods: The medical records of 1058 fractures in 895 patients were gathered from 5 general hospitals in Daegu during last year and these data were analyzed by following parameters: age, sex, place of residence, occupation, cause of injury, time of injury, location of fracture, length of in-hospital stay, time of operation, treatment method, associated injury, complication. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Most commonly involved age group was 20s(26%) and the sex ratio was 3.4:1(male predominance). Fractures were occurred more in unban and white-color workers. Among variable etiology of injury, traffic accident was the most common cause. Time of injury was heighest at 6 to 7 P.M., on Sunday, in July. Locations of fractures were following sequence: nasal, zygoma, mandible, orbit, maxilla. Mean length of in-hospital stay and time of operation after injury were 6.3 and 3.2 days, respectively. In treatment methods, operative methods were dominant than conservative management and general anesthesia were favored than local anesthesia. Associated injuries were noticed in 188 cases(21.2%) and complications were in 94 cases(8.9%) and among them, ocular problem were common. Conclusion: Compared to previous studies, mean age of occurrence was lowered and the etiologies showed age-specific pattern and reflected the change of lifestyle. In young age groups, sports injury, violence were more dominant and the other hand, traffic accident and fall were dominant in older groups.
