Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the initial lateral cephalometric characteristics in two groups of patients: those that had mandibular setback surgery only and those that had mandibular setback surgery with advancement genioplasty. Methods: The lateral cephalograms of thirty-one patients were studied. Twenty-one Class III patients (group A) had only madibular setback surgery Twelve Class III patients (group B) had mandibular setback surgery with advancement genioplasty. Results: Differences between two groups were found in N-Me, ANS-Me, Occlusal Plane angle, Palatal Plane to U1, Mandibular Plane to L1, Mandibular Plane to L6, SN to U1, Sn-Stms, and Pog' projection. Compared to group A, group B showed more linguoversion and extrusion of upper incisors, more extrusion of lower incisors and lower first molar, and more steepness of the occlusal plane. N-Me, ANS-Me, and Sn-Stms were also longer in group B. But Pog' projection was shorter than group A. Conclusion: We conclude that certain initial lateral cephalometric characteristics may help indicate the inclusion of advancement genioplasty when mandibular setback surgery is planned in skeletal Class III patients.

Aortic valvuloplasty has recently gained attention as an attractive alternative procedure for aortic valvular disease. Between March 1995 to August 1996, 14 patients with pure aortic regurgitation(AR) underwent aortic alvuloplasty using leaflet extension with glutaraldehydepreserved autologous pericardium. There were 11 males and 3 females, and the mean age was 34.8 $\pm$ 15.3 years. Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac catheterization revealed that the degree of AR was mean 3.4$\pm$0.65, and more than moderate degree of mitral regurgitation(MR) were detected in 4 patients. In 12 patients, 3 leaflets were extended and in another 2 patients only one deformed leaflet was extended. Concomitant mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) was performed in 4 patients. The competency of the aortic valve after completion of repair was evaluated by the transesophageal echocardiography in operating theater, and there was no aortic and mitral stenosis or regurgitation. In an early postoperative echocardiography, trivial AR was detected in 3 patients and mild MR in 1 patient. The end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions of the left ventricle were decreased significantly(p<0.05) as compared with those of preoperative values. T ere was no mortality and no significant postoperative complication encountered. Late complication developed in 2 patients during the follow-up period(mean 7.9$\pm$ 5.9 months). One patient underwent AVR on postoperative 7th month due to endocarditis, and the another patient with Behcet's disease underwent Ross operation at postoperative 4th month. In conclusion, AVP of leaflet extension technique offers an excellent early clinical result and represents a good alterna!ivy surgical treatment for the pure AR especially in young age group, although long-term follow-up is necessary to determine the durability of glutaraldehyde-preserved autologous pericardium as a valve leaflet.

Background: The Maze procedure considered the most effective method of treatment for atrial fibrillation. However, the sinus conversion rates decreased due to several factors, especially enlarged left atrium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Maze procedure with aen atrial volume reduction plasty on rheumatic mitral valve disease, Material and Method: From December of 200f to July of 2004, 45 patients received mitral valve and Maze operation. The patients were placed in either group f or group 2, based on the left atrial volume reduction plasty. The presence and onset of sinus rhythm and the incidence of trans mitral A waves were monitored during the postoperative 7 days and throughout the follow up period of 3 and 6 months. Mean follow up periods were 15.8 10.1 months in group 1 and $6.1\pm2.7$ months in group 2. Result: The sinus onset were $9.88\pm12.2$ days in group 1, and $1\pm3.6$ days in group 2 (p<0.01). The sinus conversion rates in the group 1 and 2 were $65\%,\;75\%$ (p=0.07) in the postoperative 7 days, $70.5\%,\;100\%$ (p<0.01) at postoperative 3 months, and $93\%,\;100\%$ (p<0.01) at postoperative 6 months, respectively. The wave detection rates in the postoperative 7days were $31.2\%\;and\;63.6\%$, and continued to improve over time to $83.3\%\;and\;100\%$ by 6months, respectively. Conclusion: The results suggest that Maze procedure with left atrial volume reduction plasty is effective for inducing sinus rhythm and for restoring left atrial contractile function after concomitant rheumatic mitral valve surgery. However further follow up of this patients for long time is necessary.

Ebsteins anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac malformation that is the downward displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve into the ventricular apex, aresulting in the formation of an atrialized portion of the right ventricle. In most patients, symptoms such as cyanosis and progressive heart failure occur during the adolescence or young adulthood. The associated anomalies include ventricular septal defect, transposition of the great arteries, and malformation of the mitral valve. An 8-months-old male with Ebsteins anomaly, ventricular septal defect, and duplication of the mitral valve orifice successfully underwent operation with VSD patch closure. Postoperatively, cardiac size was significantly reduced and tricuspid regurgitation was trivial in echocardiography He has been doing well without any cardiac medication during the 18 months follow up after operation.

타석증을 동반한 만성 악하선 타액선염의 경우 악하선 적출은 일반적인 치료 방법이다. 일반적으로 악하선 적출술은 수술의 용이성, 수술시야의 확보 등의 장점으로 구강외접근에 의해서 시행되어져 왔다. 그러나 시대적으로 심미적인 요구가 증대되고 있는 요즈음 구외 접근으로 인한 술후 반흔은 구외접근법의 가장 결정적인 단점이라 할 수 있다. 또한 설하선과 함께 적출하여야 할 경우 구내접근과 구외접근을 동시에 실시할 경우 술후 치유과정상의 후유증을 유발할 수도 있다. 반면에 구강내 접근에 의한 악하선의 적출은 수술상의 고도의 난이도로 수술자체의 어려움은 있으나 구강의 반흔을 남기지 않아 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이에 본 저자 등은 타석증을 동반한 악하선 타액선염의 환자에 있어 구내 접근으로 악하선 및 설하선 적출술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

전방십자인대 재건술시 이식건의 과간 절흔에 대한 충돌을 예방하기 위하여 어느 절도의 절흔 성형을 시행 할 것인가에 대하여는 아직까지 논란이 있으며 수술시 절흔의 형태, 골극 형성 유무, 이식건의 크기 경골 터널의 위치를 고려하여 시행하여야 한다. 절흔 후방의 골 제거가 과도하게 시행 될 경우에는 대퇴골 부착부가 외측으로 전위되어 슬관절의 생역학적 변화를 가져올 수 있고, 주변 관절 연골의 조기 퇴행성 변화를 초래할 수 있으므로 세심한 주의를 기울여야 하며 절흔 성형은 가능한 한 최소화 하는 것이 출혈, 동통 및 부종 등의 술후 합병증을 줄일 수 있다.

노인의 피부는 노화로 말미암아 여러 가지 문제가 생길 수 있따. 그러나 적절하게 관리하지 못하여 여러 가지 피부 질환으로 고생하게 되는 경우가 많다. 노인에게 올 수 있는 피부 문제를 알고 대처하는 것이 중요하다. 흔히 노인들은 외모의 변화를 심각하게 고민하지만, 생명과 관련이 없는 현상이기 때문에 무관심하게 되고, 적절한 관리를 받을 기회를 놓쳐 심각한 피부 질환으로 진행되기도 한다. 노인들은 피부의 변화와 주름을 창피하거나 부끄럽게 생각하지 말고, 자신의 삶의 일부를 나타내는 행복의 선으로 받아들여야 한다. 또한 이를 성형수술이나 화장으로 감추려 하지 말고 적절한 관리를 통해 가능하다면 피부 노화가 느리게 올 수 있도록 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 노인에게서 흔한 피부 질환은 피부 소양증, 대상포진, 피부 건조증, 피부암 등이 있다.
