Objectives: Intraoral appliances (IOA) are applied in the clinical practice of Korean medicine to improve the balance between yin and yang of the body such as temporomandibular joint balancing medicine. Historical examples of IOA were not well known. This study reports prototype IOA's described in medical classics. Methods: Several medical classics of 12th to 19th centuries were narratively reviewed for prototypical descriptions of IOA's in the context of clinical practice. Results: IOA's in the medical classics reviewed adopted such materials as bamboo, chopsticks, and coins that were adjusted in the height and were used as a temporary IOA's with response of the patient being monitored. IOA's were applied integratively with herbal medicine for diverse complaints such as pain, hearing problem, cough, asthma, and rhinorrhea. Conclusions: Prototype IOA's in the medical classics suggest an individualized, integrative, and holistic principle and usage of IOA's in the tradition of Korean medicine.

In this paper, we propose the face image recognition algorithm using skin color information, face region features such as eye, nose, and mouse, etc., and geometrical features of chin line. In the proposed algorithm, we used the intensity as well as skin color information in the HSI color coordinate which is similar to human eye system. The experimental results of proposed method shows improved extraction quality of face and provides adaptive extraction methods for the races. And also, we used chin line information as well as geometrical features of face such as eye, nose, mouse information for the improvement of face recognition quality, Experimental results shows the more improved recognition as well as extraction quality than conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose the new side-view face detection method in color images which contain faces over one. It uses color and the geometrical distance between nose and chin. We convert RGB to YCbCr color space. We extract candidate regions of face using skin color information from image. And then, the extracted regions are processed by morphological filter, and the processed regions are labeled. Also, we correct the gradient of inclined face image using projected character of nose. And we detect the inclined side-view faces that have right and left 45 tips by within via ordinate. And we get 92% detection rate in 100 test images.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory form of arthritis that is associated with psoriasis. A 54-yr-old male with chronic psoriatic temporomandibular joint arthritis and myofascial pain was treated using methotrexate and a myofascial pain protocol. Jaw pain improved after 3 weeks, however, tenderness to palpation of muscles remained. Comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary clinical treatment is required for the treatment of patients with psoriatic temporomandibular joint arthritis.

The purpose of this study was to report the effect of Yinyang balancing appliance (YBA) of Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) and Korean medicine methods treating idiopathic scoliosis. YBA was applied for 146 times from 29th March 2014 to 5th September 2015. Herbal medicine used for treatment were Yeonggamgangmisinhaintang, Eokgansangagambang, Gamihangchetang. The change of symptoms was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale. When treated with YBA and herbal medicine, the patient showed improvement. After about 1 year, the patient was recovered completely. This case showed that YBA and herbal medicine can be effective to improve idiopathic scoliosis.

Four cases of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) were reviewed to see whether any improvement is observed in the X-ray images of open-mouth view and cephalocervical views. Intraoral appliances of TMJ balancing appliance (TBA) and cervical balancing appliance (CBA) and active movement of within range-of-movement of the jaw and the neck were applied to each patient. Improved balance of $2^{nd}$ cervical vertebra position and cervical alignment were observed in all the four cases.

최근 산화물 반도체 박막 트랜지스터의 신뢰성(reliability) 평가에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 신뢰성 평가하는 한 방법으로 게이트에 바이어스를 지속적으로 인가하여 소자의 문턱 전압의 변화를 통해 안정성(stability)를 확인한다. 전압을 지속적으로 인가하게 되면 소자를 열화시켜 전기적 특성이 약화된다. 본 연구에선 ITZO 박막 트랜지스터의 신뢰성 평가를 위해 게이트 절연막($SiO_2$, $SiN_x$)에 따른 ITZO 소자를 제작 및 게이트 바이어스 스트레스 후 전기적 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 제작된 소자의 게이트에 전압을 +15V로 7200초 동안 인가하였다. 스트레스 후 게이트 절연막이 $SiO_2$, $SiN_x$인 ITZO 산화물 박막 트랜지스터 모두 positive 방향으로 이동하였고, 그 결과 문턱 전압, 이동도, 아문턱 기울기의 변화가 발생하였다. $SiO_2$의 경우 아문턱 기울기의 변화가 거의 없이 문턱 전압의 변화만을 보였고, 이는 단순히 ITZO층과 게이트 절연막 계면에 전자가 포획되거나 혹은 게이트 절연막 내에 전자가 주입이 되었기 때문이다. 반면에 $SiN_x$의 경우 ITZO층과 게이트 절연막 계면에 추가적인 결함(defect)이 생성되었기 때문에 $SiO_2$보다 더 많은 전자를 포획하여 아문턱 기울기와 문턱 전압의 변화가 컸다.

In Recent experimental research results of connection method between steel pipe pile and concrete footing are provided based on various experimental observations. It gives a shedding light toward developing better connection method for steel pipe pile at the field application. In this study, the newly developed method is tested for compressive, pull put and combination load including moment with carefully designed monitoring system. The measured data show that new method have at least equivalent or better load resistant capacities compared with those of specified method in Korea Road Design Specification. It is also tried to define and investigate the load transfer mechanism for new method.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the effectiveness of TMJ balancing therapy and Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) treatments on a thalamus cerebral infarction patient with hemiparesis and gait disturbance. Methods: The patient was treated with TMJ balancing therapy, along with korean herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and physical therapy. The motor function was evaluated through the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Grasp power and Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC). And the daily life ability was evaluated by the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) and Korean National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (K-NIHSS). Results: After 17 days of TMJ balancing therapy and TKM treatments, the score of MMT did not improved, but the score of FAC, K-MBI, K-NIHSS improved. Conclusions: This study suggested that TMJ balancing therapy and TKM treatments could be effective for hemiparesis and gait disturbance in patients with thalamus cerebral infarction.

In order to propose a fundamental and appliable theories for balancing therapy of temporomandibular joint (TMBT), evolutionary proofs and up-down theories in evolutionary biology and Korean medicine were investigated. Balancing therapy of temporomandibular joint treats disorder and diseases of the whole body through straightening of the abnormal linking between temporomandibular joint and axis. Although the mechanism of this therapy contains many merits like multicellular integrity and coadjustment, ease of balance and alert forward mobility by the bipedal stepping and evolution to Homo sapiens, increasing disadvantages of balancing pressure of right and left in the lengthened perpendicular axis and the balancing load of temporomandibular joint and axis following the reactional change of dental occlusion are deeply related and considered in this therapy. As for up-down theory, crossing of heavenly qi and earth qi centering on cervical joint is presented as the first mechanism for TMBT, and the other ones like in-out and up-down qi activity of tripple energizer, up-down of essence-qi-spirit in the three backbone barrier and three cinnabar field, up-down of yin-yang-water-fire of viscera and bowels can be related too.
