  • The purpose of this study was to quantitate differences in the nature of the correction of Angle's Class II div 1 malocclusion dependent on the patient's age at the time of treatment. The sample consisted of 27 female patients in the adolescent group with a mean initial records age of 11.8 years and 25 female patients in the adult group with a mean starting age of 21.1 yrs. Lateral cephalometric head films were taken before and after orthodontic treatment with four bicuspid extraction. The results were obtained as follows. 1. None of maxillary skeletal parameters exhibited a significantly different in treatment change between adolescents and adults. But, in mandibular skeletal measurements, there were significant differences between two groups. (P<0.05) 2. Measures of vertical dimension in the adults remained unchanged during treatment, reflecting the effective absence of growth. 3. The steepness of occlusal plane in the adults changed significantly.(P<0.05) In contrast, the adolescents displayed stability of the occlusal plane. 4. According to the Johnston analysis, there was a significant difference in the total molar correction between two groups.(P<0.05) 5. According to the Johnston analysis, differential mandibular growth in the adolescents contrubuted $63\%$ of the total molar correction, with orthodontic tooth movement accounting for the remaining $37\%$. In the adults, dental movement comprised $99\%$ of the correction.

  • 우리 군은 창군이래 최대 규모의‘국방개혁추진위원희’를 편성·운영 중에 있다. 차제에 이 글은 군 개혁의 참고모델로서‘이스라엘의 군대’를 제시하여 군 개혁과업을 추진하는데 다소라도 기여하고자 한다. 이스라엘은 지난 50년간‘자주국방’의 정신으로 군사력을 꾸준히 발전시켜서 오늘날 전세계에서 작지만 가장 당찬 정예화군·기술군·과학군을 창조했다. 한국도 지난 50년간‘자구국방’을 위해 부단히 노력한 끝에 이제 외형적으로는 세계 10위권의 큰 군대가 되었다. 그러나, 양국이 지난 50년간 노력하여 만들어 낸 현재의 최종 산출물, 즉 전력수준과 군사태세는 양국의 지닌 저마다의 불가피한 특수한 사정이 있었지만 결과만을 놓고 볼 때는 이스라엘 군이 우리 군보다 우월한 것으로 보여진다. 우리는 우리보다 훨씬 작은 이스라엘이 우리보다 비교 우위의 군사력과 군사태세를 보유하고 있는 이유를 찾아내야 한다. 왜냐하면 그 이유가 곧 우리 군을 개혁해 나가는 데 있어서 참고해야 될 주요 지표가 될 수 있기 때문이다. 이와 같은 관점에서 이 글은 이스라엘의 특수한 안보환경과 건국과정을 살펴본 다음, 이스라엘 군의 특징 및 우수성을 분석하고, 우리 군이 개혁과업을 추진해 나갈 경우 참고될 수 있는 몇 가지 시사점을 개념적 차원에서 제시하였다.

  • This study was performed to investigate the protective effects of Hovenia dulcis Thunb on hepatotoxicity in carbon tetrachloride-intoxicated rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (220~240 g) were used as experimental groups, which were divided into 7 groups; Control group, $CCl_4$-treated group, hexane fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group, chloroform fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group, ethylacetate fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group, butanol fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group, $H_2O$ fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group. After 6 days, the activities of aminotransferase, contents of cholesterol, TG and hepatic lipid peroxide content in chloroform fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group were significantly decreased (p<0.05) compared to the only $CCl_4$-treated group. The content of glutathione and activities of GST in chloroform fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group were also significantly increased (p<0.05) compared to the only $CCl_4$-treated group. In addition, activities of SOD, catalase and GSH-Px in chloroform fraction pretreated and $CCl_4$-treated group were significantly decreased (p<0.05) compared to the only $CCl_4$-treated group. These results indicated that the chloroform fraction of Hovenia dulcis Thunb methanol extract showed hepatoprotective effect in carbon tetrachloride-intoxicated rats.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the microshear bond strength (uSBS) of two totaletch and four self-etch adhesive systems and a flowable resin to enamel. Materials and Methods: Enamels of sixty human molars were used. They were divided into one of six equal groups (n = 10) by adhesives used; OS group (One-Step Plus), SB group (Single Bond), CE group (Clearfil SE Bond), TY group (Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus), AP group (Adper Prompt L-Pop) and GB group (G-Bond). After enamel surfaces were treated with six adhesive systems, a flowable composite resin (Filek Z 350) was bonded to enamel surface using Tygon tubes. the bonded specimens were subjected to uSBS testing and the failure modes of each group were observed under FE-SEM. Results: 1. The uSBS of SB group was statistically higher than that of all other groups, and the uSBS of OS, SE and AP group was statistically higher than that of TY and GB group (p < 0.05). 2. The uSBS for TY group was statistically higher than that for GB group (p < 0.05). 3. Adhesive failures in TY and GB group and mixed failures in SB group and SE group were often analysed. One cohesive failure was observed in OS, SB, SE and AP group, respectively. Conclusions: Although adhesives using the same step were applied the enamel surface, the uSBS of a flowable resin to enamel was different.

  • Growth of UAV technology leads to expansion of UAV image applications. Many UAV image-based applications use a method called incremental bundle adjustment. However, incremental bundle adjustment produces large computation overhead because it attempts feature matching from all image pairs. For efficient feature matching process we have to confine matching only for overlapping pairs using exterior orientation parameters. When exterior orientation parameters are not available, we cannot determine overlapping pairs. We need another methods for feature matching candidate constitution. In this paper we compare matching candidate constitution methods without exterior orientation parameters, including partial feature matching, Bag-of-keypoints, image intensity method. We use the overlapping pair determination method based on exterior orientation parameter as reference. Experiment results showed the partial feature matching method in the one with best efficiency.

  • The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of feeding trans fat on serum and tissue lipid profiles and fatty acid composition in mice. Forty-five male mice aged at 4 weeks were fed on the 10% palm oil (n-3 deficient group), 20% dried mackerel (n-3 adequate group) and 5% trans fat (trans group) for three months. Total triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were increased in serum, liver and heart of the n-3 deficient and trans groups compared with the n-3 adequate group, while liver HDL-cholesterol levels were lowest in the trans group (p<0.05). In liver and heart, trans group showed higher levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol compared with the n-3 deficient group (p<0.05). In fatty acid compositions of serum, heart, liver and kidney, the intake of trans fat led to increased percentages of 18:1n-9trans and 18:2n-6trans. The trans group showed similar patterns to the n-3 deficient group, except an increased percentage of 18:2n-6cis. Generally, the n-3 deficient and trans groups showed increased percentages of n-6 fatty acids and decreased percentages of n-3 fatty acids, specially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) compared to the n-3 adequate group (p<0.05). These results indicate that intake of trans fat increased total triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels, which may affect risk for cardiovascular mortality.
