RESUMEN
Purpose@#Pediatric diabetes is a common health burden worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia in Korean youth aged 10–18 years and to evaluate its association with metabolic indicators. @*Methods@#To assess the risk of diabetes in domestic children and adolescents, the prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia was calculated, a trend was evaluated using multi-year Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data, and multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the relationships between hyperglycemia and metabolic factors. @*Results@#The prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia, defined as impaired fasting glucose (fasting glucose level > 100 mg/dL and < 125 mg/dL), or diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL) was estimated in Korean teenagers. The prevalence increased from the fourth (2007–2009) to the fifth (2010–2012), sixth (2013–2015), and seventh (2016–2018) KNHANES surveys, from 5.39 to 4.79, 10.03, and 11.66 per 100 persons, respectively. In multivariate analysis, systolic blood pressure and serum triglycerides were higher in the fasting hyperglycemia group; systolic blood pressures were 109.83 mmHg and 112.64 mmHg and serum triglycerides were 81.59 mg/dL and 89.60 mg/dL in the normal blood glucose and fasting hyperglycemia groups, respectively. @*Conclusion@#The prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia among children and adolescents has increased over the past decade, and this increase is potentially associated with metabolic abnormalities such as hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. Effort is urgently required to reduce this chronic medical burden in adolescence.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical cases of subcondylar fracture with intraoral approach. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Fifteen patients with unilateral subcondylar fracture were treated in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, College of Medicine, Hallym University between 2006 and 2007. Each patients was examined by computed tomography(CT) and panorama. 3D-CT taken when fractured segment was displaced and comminuted. Patients was done intermaxillary fixation to occlusal stability and prevent displacement of fractured segment before general operation. Open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF) accomplished under general anesthesia and used to intraoral approach. We examinated the state of occlusion, maximum opening. Evaluation of the state of occlusion was divided in patient's subjective evaluation that compare pre-traumatic occlusion with postoperative occlusion, and estimator's objective evaluation that use articulating paper. Examination was done at 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6 month postoperative by follow up. RESULT: The ORIF through intraoral approach was good in all patients. In the state of occlusion, all patients recovered pre-traumatic occlusion in 6 month postoperation. Maximum opening was gradually increased. In 3 month postoperative, maximum opening was excessed 40mm. CONCLUSION: Our study indicate that the intraoral approach is a good technique for subcondylar fracture. Intraoral approach prevent complication that facial nerve damage, scar formation caused by extraoral approach. So, we recommend intraoral approach when subcondylar fracture.
