From January 1990 through December 1995, 43 patients underwent diaphragmatic plication for the management of phrenic nerve palsy .complicating various pediatric cardiovascular surgery. Their mean age at plication was 11.1 months and sex ratio was 31 males to 12 females. In order of decreasing incidence, the primary cardiovascular procedures included modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (7), total correction for the Tetralogy of Falloff (7), arterial switch operation (6), unifocalization for the pulmonary atresia with VSD (3), modified Fontan operation (3), VSD patch closure (3) and others. The involved sides of diaphragm were right in 17, left in 2) and bilateral in 3. Extensive pericardial resection with electocauterization of resected margin was thought to be the most common cause of phrenic nerve palsy (20). The interval between primary operation and plication ranged from the day of operation to 98 days (median 11 days). The methods of plication were central pleating technique(plication with phrenic nerve branch preservation) in 41, and other technique In 2. 10 patients died after plication (7: early, 3; late), and the causes of death were thought to be unrelated to plication itself. Among the 36 early survivors, extubation or cessation of positive pressure ventilation could be accomplished between 1 and 24 days postoperatively(mean : 4.5). Cumulative follow-up was 92 patient years without major complications. Postoperative follow-up fluoroscopy was performed in 6 patients, and the location and movement of plicated diaphragms were satisfactory in 5 patients. We concluded that diaphragmatic plication with preservation of phrenic n rve branch could lead to cessation of positive pressure ventilation and complete recovery of diaphragmatic function in the long term, unless the phrenic nerve was irreversibly damaged.

Disc dislocation without reduction, as known as closed lock, is a clinical condition in which the disc is dislocated from the condyle and does not return to normal position during condylar movement When the condition of disc dislocation without reduction is acute, the initial therapy should include an attempt to reduce or recapture the disc by manual manipulation. When patients report a history of being locked for 1 week or less, manual manipulation is usually successful. In patients with a longer history, success rate tends to decrease rapidly. If the disc has been successfully recaptured, placing an anterior positioning appliance is recommended to prevent clenching on the posterior teeth, which would likely redislocated the disc. But it is hard to make an appliance immediately in the clinic because it takes too much time. And making an appliance using self-curing acrylic resin is not very popular because of its discomfort by odor and working time. Also, if the patient has resin allergy or is under orthodontic treatment, or if it is impossible to control behavior of the patient, it has been restricted to make an appliance immediately. Therefore, to supplement this disadvantages, we tried to confirm about successful short term use of temporary anterior positioning splint made by using putty impression material after manual manipulation in this study.

The purpose of this study was to compare the replicability of centric relation made by means of self guided method, bimanual manipulation, chin-point guidance, leaf gauge method, gothic arch tracing. The EPA test of Arcus $Digma^{(R)}$ was employed for examining the reproducibility of centric relation. 10 adults with normal occlusion were participated in this study. In this limitation of study, the following results were obtained; Condyle position was different depending on different methods of guiding centric relation. Left and right temporomandibular joints showed a little different degree of repeatability. Bimanual manipulation using anterior jig was the most replicable. Chin point guidance provided the second most repeatable method, and Gothic arch tracing showed the third, the leaf gauge was the forth, the self-guided method was the worst.

최근 소득수준의 향상과 여성의 사회진출로 인해 우리의 식생활도 많은 부분이 사회화되고 있다. 즉 완전조리식품과 반조리식품이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 기존의 인스탄트식품이 저가격, 반건강 특성으로 생각되어진 반면 최근 고가의 건강 지향적인 반조리식품으로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 경향은 식품가공기술 및 식품포장기술의 향상과 사회적요구에 부합된 결과로 사료된다. 이에 대표적인 경우가 다양한 소스류의 상품화 경향이다. 본 연구개발 사업에서 이루어지는 냉면소스도 가정에서 하기에는 번거롭고, 건강지향적 식생활로 메밀의 수효가 증가하여 냉면의 소비가 증가하리라 생각된다. 현재 시판되고 있는 기존의 몇몇의 제품들이 있기는 하나 제조공정, 보존상태 등에서 많은 문제점이 있다. 따라서 문헌 통하여 기존제품의 배합비를 조사하고, 냉면소스 배합비의 최적화를 위해 10여차례에 걸쳐 20종류의 소스에 대하여 배합비의 변화와 관능검사에 의해 배주스, 양파, 겨자, 마늘, 설탕, 물엿, 소금, 미원, 참기름, 고춧가루, 진간장, 생강즙, 식초, 파인애플로 구성된 소스를 개발하였다. 개발된 소스의 pH, 당도, 염도, 색차를 측정하여 관능검사의 결과와 비교 검토하였고, 식품재료의 차이에 의한 맛의 변화를 보정하기 위한 근거로 사용하였다. 저장성 검사를 위해 일반세균과 대장균을 검사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 소비자들의 기호에 맞는 냉면소스를 개발하기 위해 다양한 식품의 배합을 시도하여 상품성이 있을 것으로 판단되는 recipe를 완성하였고, 일반인(주부)들을 상대로 한 호감도 조사에서도 좋은 성적을 나타내었다. 시료를 1주간격으로 한달간 실험한 결과 쇠고기가 들어 있는 제품을 제외하구 대장균은 검출되지 않았으며 일반세균은 위생법의 허용치내에 있었다. 쇠고기가 있는 제품은 가격상승과 저장성에 문제가 있어 이를 제하고 최종적인 레시피를 결정하였다.있었다. 그러나 식이 섭취상태와의 관련성은 나타나지 않았다. 이상에서 생활습관이 신체계측치 및 혈중 지질 농도와 일부 상관을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 건강위험 요인도 관찰할 수 있었다. 고지혈증은 심혈관계질환의 주요한 위험 인자로 알려져 있으며, 그 유발 요인에는 여러 환경적인 요인과 식이 요인이 있다. 또한 생활습관은 영양소의 섭취량에도 영향을준다. 이처럼 식이 요인과 생활습관은 단독 혹은 상호 영향을 주게 되므로 고지혈증 및 심혈관계질환을 개선하려면 식사요법과 생활습관 교정을 병행하여야 한다. 고지혈증의 원인 중의 하나로 지적되고 있는 음주와 흡연은 상호 유도작용이 있으므로 금연이나 절주를 하고자 할 경우 두가지를 동시에 자제해야 효과적일 것으로 생각된다. 폐경후 여성들에게 발생 빈도가 높은 심혈관질환의 위험요인인 고지혈증을 예방하고자 하는 노력은 폐경후 여성들의 삶의 질적 향상을 위해서도 매우 중요하다. 또한 균형식 섭취와 운동을 통해 혈중 지질 수준을 건강하게 유지하고, 비만으로의 이행을 방지함으로써 심혈관계질환을 예방하도록 하여야겠다.료보다 절반이하 수준이었다.

Osteosarcoma is the most common tumor in malignant bone tumors. The peak age incidence in osteosarcoma is between 10 to 14 years of age. This tumor rarely develops under 6 years of age and the youngest patient in the previous literature was a 13 months old girl who had an osteosarcoma involving the second metacarpal bone. We report a case of an 8 month old male infant, who had an osteosarcoma involving the right proximal tibia. This patient was treated by wide excision with transepiphyseal resection and reconstruction with allograft. At 20 months after operation, the varus deformity was developed at the proximal junctional site of allograft. Thereafter, the revision was performed with correction of deformity and augmentation with the proximal fibula transfer. At 51 months after operation, he has been remained as free of disease, and he has recovered the knee motion ranged from 15 degree to 75 degree. The osteosarcoma in infant is very rare but it should be considered the osteosarcoma in the differential diagnosis of any bone lesion. Instead of amputation, the limb sparing operation and the solutions for limb length inequility in growing period should be carefully considered in the infantile osteosarcoma.

It is important to reduce indirect scattered neutron beside direct neutron of chosen energy for designing a neutron-reference-field laboratory with neutron produced from a nuclear reaction by a accelerator. Therefore MCNPX simulation was performed with various conditions for obtaining such condition. At first in the original laboratory condition we calculated the direct neutron flux which was inserted in chamber (virtual chamber composed of air) of 0 degree (proton moving direction) for neutron flux measurement and the scattered neutron flux which is inserted in the chamber after scattering wall or bottom. In the result, the scattered neutron which was inserted after scattering bottom is more than that which was inserted after scattering the others. Therefore MCNPX simulation was again performed with removing the concrete bottom and with removing the concrete bottom and digging 1 m in the ground. In the result of removing concrete bottom and digging 1 m in the ground, scattered neutron which was inserted after scattering bottom became less than that which was inserted after scattering the others.

This study suggested correction of excessive mouth opening or maximum occlusal contact to analyse occlusal contact time, occlusal contact number and force through evaluation of occlusal pattern in policemen with temporomandibular disorders. The community of policemen influence on temporomandibular disorder's development and progress due to other condition of mouth opening and maximal occlusal contact. Repeated training or changes of usual life style may cause imbalance of stomatognathic system including the masticatory muscle, then develop or aggravate pain of temporomandibular joints and associated structures. This study uses T-scan II system(Tekscan Co., USA) for evaluation on occlusal pattern may influence temporomandibular disorders, and then the subjects take a sensor at 20 mm opening for maximal occlusal contact force. The policemen with temporomandibualr disorders get more long time on maximum contact timing, more short on end contact timing, and more force on end contact force than general society's. So they get closure of mouth with more short time and more force, then transfer remaining load to temporomandibular joint. There are no statistically significances between affected side and occlusal pattern of occlusal contact time and force. There are Left -right dental arch imbalances seems on Rt. dental arch if affected side is right and Lt. dental arch if affected side is left. In above results, It's worth due consideration that policemen with temporomandibular disorders get more smooth mandibualr movement and less force on maximal occlusal contact position.

From October, 1987 to December, 1995, nine patients underwent total correction of tetralogy of Fallot in adults over 20 years of age. There were 5 male and 4 female patients aged from 22 to 42 years(mean, 29.6 years). Three patients were in New York Heart Association(NYHA) functional class II, and 6 patients in class III. The hemoglobin values ranged from 10.8 to 20.7 gm/㎗ (average, l5.6gm/㎗). The preoperative clinical features were as follows: cyanosis, 8 patients; dyspnea on exertion, 6 patients; clubbing of fingers, 5 patients; frequent upper respiratory infection, 3 patients. At the operation both infundibular and valvular stenosis were present in all patients. Reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT) using Goretex was required in 7 patients, and transannular patching with Goretex in 2 pateints. Left pulmonary angioplasty with pericardium was done in 2 patients. No hospital deaths occurred. Four of 9 patients(44.4%) had postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, and postoperative bleeding in 5. One patient required reoperation due to residual ventricular septal defect and tricuspid regurgitation 3 months after the first operation. The mean follow-up period was 25 months, range 11 to 77 months. All was asymptomatic and in NYHA class I. We suggest that advanced age is not contraindication to surgery in tetralogy of Fallot, and tetralogy of Fallot in adults could be operated on due to low mortality.

Congenital tooth agenesis is the most common developmental dental anomaly, of which oligodontia is defined as the absence of six or more permanent teeth, except the third molars. Tooth agenesis causes malocclusion, alveolar atrophy, aesthetic and psychosocial problems. This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary treatment for a patient diagnosed as oligodontia, who exhibited absence of 14 permanent teeth, atrophy of maxillary alveolar bone, and mandibular protrusion. Restoration space was secured and tooth axis was improved by the extraction of deciduous teeth and orthodontic treatment. However, edge-to-edge bite of posterior teeth and arch dimension discrepancy due to atrophic maxilla was remained. To restore the aesthetics and functionality, implant retained prosthesis was planned. Considering minimal bone grafts, location and number of dental implants and prostheses design were determined. Through the gradual adjustment of provisional restoration, the appropriate centric and eccentric occlusion was reflected into a definitive prosthesis. Currently, stable functional results were attained, however, regular follow up and maintenance care over lifetimes should be performed.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Dang Dang integrated corrective therapy including myofascial release, chuna therapy, and exercise therapy on height, muscle mass, body fat, and body water in patients with body imbalance. The secondary aim was to investigate whether the percent of change in height, muscle mass, body fat, and body water varied by age group. Methods : In total, 279 patients with body imbalance between the ages of 10 and 79 were recruited at hospitals. All participants had Dang Dang integrated corrective therapy including myofascial release, chuna therapy, and exercise therapy. The patients' height, muscle mass, body fat, and body water were measured before and after Dang Dang integrated corrective therapy using InBody. Results : The height, muscle mass, and body water significantly increased after Dang Dang integrated corrective therapy in all age groups except for the 70~79 age group and body fat significantly decreased (p < .05). The age group comparison of the percent change in height, muscle mass, and body water showed significant differences (p < .05). In the post hoc test, the percent change of height in the 10~19 age group was significantly greater than in the other age groups except for the 70~79 age group. The percent change of muscle mass and body water in the 10~19 age group was significantly greater than in the 30~39 age group. Conclusion : These findings suggest that applying Dang Dang integrated corrective therapy to patients with body imbalance, excluding patients aged 70~79, may be a useful method to increase height, muscle mass, and body water and decrease body fat through spinal and joint realignment. The best results were observed in teenagers.
