Choanal atresia may be membrane or bony, unilateral or bilateral. Approximately 90% of the choanal atresia are bony type. Unilateral choanal atresia often eludes the diagnosis because of the absence of subjective symptoms in the neonatal period. However, bilateral choanal atresia presents at birth with cyclic respiratory distress aggravated by feedings. So complete bilateral choanal atresia is considered as a neonatal emergency. Examinations for the diagnosis of chonal atresia include 1) attempt at passing a rubber catheter or probe through the patient s nose, 2) mirror examination of the nasopharynx, 3) digital examination of the nasopharynx, 4) X-ray examination after installation of radiopaque materal into the nasal cavity. But, computed tomography has become accepted method for evaluation of choanal atresia. Surgical repair of choanal atresia is accomplished via transnasal or transpalatal approach. Advantages of the transpalatal approach are improved exposure and the preservation of mucosal flap along the newly formed apertures. On the other hand, the transpalatal approach carries the risk of injury to the greater palatine neurovascular complex, and requires longer operative time. After careful physical and radiographic examinations, we accomplished the surgical repair of the complete bony bilateral choanal atresia via transpalatal approach without complications.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the postoperative results of Millard rotation-advancement repair (MR) and lip adhesion followed by Millard rotation-advancement repair (LAMR) in unilateral complete cleft lip. Twenty patients with unilateral complete cleft lip underwent MR or LAMR at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam University Hospital over a period of 6 years (January 1994 to December 1999) were analyzed. The surgical results following the operation were assessed on the basis of scoring, vertical lip length, and scar hypertrophy. The mean score was better in LAMR group ($74.74{\pm}1.09$, n=13) than in MR group ($66.50{\pm}1.14$, n=7) for both lip and nose segments. Scar hypertrophy developed in MR group with 28.6% and in LAMR group with 23.1%. No significant difference was noted in the ratio of lip length between LAMR and MR groups ($0.84{\pm}0.08\;and\;0.73{\pm}0.10$). These results suggest that LAMR is better than MR in repairing the unilateral complete cleft lip.

Different techniques for culturing respiratory epithelial cells have been developed to overcome the limitations of studies on in vivo and on bioptic material. Traditionally, culture systems are divided into organ cultures, explant cultures and dissociated cell cultures. The first two contain both epithelial and non-epithelial cells. However, in monolayer cultures of dissociated cells only epithelial cells are present, the effects observed are caused by a pure epithelial responses. The purpose of this study is to establish primary culture method of human nasal epithelium (HNEC) by monolayer culture of dissociated cells to evaluate the role of the epithelial cells in the allergic and non-allergic nasal inflammatory reactions. HNEC was prepared by primary culture method of monolayer culture of dissociated cells from human inferior nasal turbinate mucosa of septal deviation patients. Primary cultured cells were characterized by indirect immunofluorescence assay and transmission electron microscopy. The immunoreactivities of cytokeratin-pan and cytokeratin No. 8 were observed in cultured HNEC. However, the immnoreactivities of vimentin and von Willebrand factor were not observed in cultured HNEC. The tonofilaments and desmosome were observed in cultured HNEC. The cultured epithelial cells were identified to be pure nasal epithelial cells. The monolayer culture of dissociated cells could successfully be employed for further study to investigate the role of the epithelial cells in allergic or non-allergic nasal inflammatory diseases.

Inflammatory sinonasal disease was diagnosed in five dogs and two cats with clinical signs of nasal discharge and epistaxis. Survey radiography and CT were performed in all of patients. CT scan of the rostral cranium was performed with a thickness of 2 or 5 mm. Nasal cytology and culture from nasal smear were performed immediately after CT examination. Remarkable increase of opacity in the nasal cavities and frontal sinuses was observed in only 3 cases. On CT images, the cavitating lesions were isodense in nasal cavity (7 cases), frontal sinuses (3 cases), and nasopharynx (2 cases) with destruction of the nasal septum (4 cases), maxillary turbinates (5 cases), maxilla (3 cases), and hard palate (3 cases). The lesions were enhanced after intravenous contrast administration in 5 cases and were not enhanced in 2 cases. Inflammatory cells were observed in nasal cytology. Most of the cultures from nasal smear were bacteria. CT is useful to diagnose sinonasal disease and is more accurate in demonstrating the extent and character of lesions of nasal cavity than radiography.

In the recent time, early correction of the congenital anomalies has become the focus of contemporary cleft lip care, The reason of that is mostly psychologic factor of children are respected, Although the propound object of lip adhesion is not esthetic improvement, that able to satisfy sufficiently parents of cleft children, In the unilateral or bilateral clefts, a preliminary lip adhesion has been advocated as a mean of narrowing the cleft at an early phase, of improving the nasal contour, of molding the alveolar arch, and of easing and improving the result of a definitive lip repair. The present study was earned out to investigate the effect of lip adhesion. We performed the Millard's high-half underminded adhesion and Seibert's lip adhesion followed by modified Millard's cheiloplasty for five infants had unilateral complete cleft lip. The lip adhesion reduced the actual deformity by molding the maxillary alveolar segments into better relationship and allows a easy cheiloplasty so that led to more perfect final lip result, Both Millard's high-half underminded adhesion and Seibert's lip adhesion were available methods to adhere a wide cleft lip, Especially, Seibert's lip adhesion had more advantages such as enhancement of the force of adhesion, correction of the deviated columella and acquirement of the esthetic upper lip continuity. These results suggest that the lip adhesion followed by cheiloplasty for wide unilateral complete cleft lip patients provide more favorable final result by molding the maxillary alveolar segments into better relationship.

Midline Granulcma(Malignant midline reticulosis) of upper respiratory tract was known as one of the fatal diseases that involve the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx, with progressive localized necrotizing inflammation and granuloma formation. The disease was first described in 1897 by McBride and after Stewart many clinical and histological studies have been done in 1933. But its etiology is still unclear and therapeutic methods are still under development. The authors carried out a clinical study of 15 cases which were diagnosed and treated as midline granuloma, including 7 cases which received combination radiation and steroid therapy from January 1964 to December 1980. The results are as follows: 1) Age and Sex distribution: 6 cases fell into the ages from 30 to 39 years: 13 cases (87%) were male and 2 cases (13%) were female. 2) Primary lesion sites were nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses area (8 cases: 53%), palatine tonsil (3 cases: 20%) and pharynx (2 cases: 13%) in order. 3) Common symptoms were nasal stuffiness and sore throat (6 cases: 40%), headache (5 cases: 33%), nasal discharge and facial edema (3 cases: 20%) in order. 4) Microorganisms were identified in 4 cases: staphylococcus in 2 cases, pseudomonas in 1 case and streptococcus in 1 case. 5) All 7 cases who received combination radiation and steroid therapy revealed complete regression and no recurrence. 6) Among the 5 cases, who received steroid and antibiotic therapy, 2 cases died and other 3 cases improved temporarily and then developed aggrevation of symptoms.

An 8-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was presented with a chief complaint of chronic nasal discharge and dyspnea. Physical examination revealed pyohemorrhagic nasal discharge, inspiratory dyspnea and stertor, and an enlarged right mandibular lymph node. Abnormalities of blood works and serum chemistry included mildly increased hematocrit, and globulin concentration. Serologic tests for FeLV and FIV, and a panel of polymerase chain reaction tests for Chlamydophila felis, Feline Calicivirus, Herpesvirus, Bordetella, Mycoplasma felis, and H1N1 influenza was all negative. Only radiographic finding showed increasing soft tissue density in the right nasal cavity and computed tomography disclosed soft tissue/fluid opacification in the right nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, and pharyinx along with slight deviation to the right of the osseous nasal septum. Focal lysis of ventral nasal septum was also suspected in CT scan. Cytological evaluation of fine needle aspirate smears of the enlarged mandibular lymph nodes revealed numerous fungal yeasts having variably thick capsule both extracellularly and intracellularly with low numbers of macrophages. Some yeasts showed narrow based budding, which was a consistent finding with Cryptococcus organisms. Serum protein electrophoresis was a polyclonal consistent with chronic infection and serum was submitted for a fungal serology panel test. In serologic tests Cryptococcus antigen titer was 1 : 32,768. In vitro culture was unsuccessful. Treatment was initiated with administration of fluconazole, clindamycin, and tocopherol. Clinical signs resolved within 3 days after the initial treatment. The cat was discharged and scheduled for periodic evaluation and continued therapy, but was lost to follow-up thereafter.

The phenotypic and genotypic correlations and heritabitities were calculated on 10 characters measured, using 10 native and 10 of introduced soybean varieties planted on 7 times with 15 days interval from April 15th. The genotypic correlations associated with grain yield were partitioned in to direct and indirect effects through the path coefficient analysis. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Generally high associations between characters were found, with high genotypic correlations than phenotypic, due to, probably, the fact that non segregating fixed varieties were used, and that the environmental effects were not elliminated appropreately here. Neverthless, the relative degree of association could be estimated. 2. The degree of associations of characters were different according the planting time, requiring the considerations on the specific characteristics depending on the specific planting time. 3. The introduced varieties were different with native ones in many respects, especially on the associations with stem length, stem diameter and seed weight. Here, the degree and the directions of the associations in the introduced ones were some peculier. 4. The less significant differences of characters between native varieties caused the heritability of native lower than that of introduced except the heritability of days from blooming to mature and seed weight. 5. The genetic associations of characters, measured, with grain yield were partitioned in to direct and indirect effects, calculating path coefficients. The days to bloom, stem length and stem diameter were most significantly affected the grain yield in the 5th planting of native ones.

The Dandy-Walker syndrome is a relatively rare congenital malformation occurring about one in 25,000-35,000 pregnancies. It is characterized by hydrocephalus, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, complete or partial absence of the cerebellar vermis, and other various extra-CNS malformations. We report a dental caries treatment of a 4-year old girl with Dandy-Walker syndrome and partial trisomy 9q. The patient visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital due to multiple caries. The cause of multiple caries is mainly presumed as patient's eating habit caused by her general condition. She was still using milk bottle because she was having difficulties swallowing solid food due to breathing problem while eating. The treatment was performed under general anesthesia considering patient's condition; delayed development, very poor cooperation and respiratory problem. The dental procedure was successfully conducted and there were no postoperative complications. In consideration of her eating habit and oral hygiene problem, regular check appointment was recommended.
