There are many different approaches to healing of acute and chronic ulcer and large skin defect, such as burn. Currently available wound covers fall into two categories. Permanent covering, such as autografts, and temporary ones, such as allograft including de-epidermized cadaver skin, bioartificial skin, xenografts, and synthetic dressings. Autologous skin grafting in the form of split- or full-thickness skin is still the good standard. Following on from developments in the 1980s involving the use of cultured keratinocyte grafts in wound healing, the last decade has been great progress in the fabrication of composite bioartificial skin grafts. However, two bottleneck on producing cultured bioartificial skin, whether of the simple epithelial cell sheet type, or the more complex composite type, continue to be the generation of sufficient keratinocytes cheaply and quickly and develop biocompatible dermal scaffolds. This article covers the development, clinical application, and current research directions associated with bioartificial skin.

Floor impact sound level is affected by various factors. This study was examined about impact sources and floor coverings influenced at floor impact sound. So this study wishes to get method to reduce sound pressure level of receiving room. Light-weight impact sound in mid frequency and Heavy-weight impact sound in low frequency was affected by floor coverings. Therefore, method to reduce floor impact sound level is to use proper floor coverings. Some coverings can amplify the heavy-weight impact sound in low frequency. Floor impact sound sources used measurement and analysis were standard heavy-impact source(Tapping, Bang, Ball) and living impact sources(Cleaner, Chair, Toy-car, Soccer ball). And Floor coverings used measurements were various thickness vinyl, laminate(or ply-wood) floor. Especially vinyl floor coverings were very effective method to reduce floor impact.

Impact sounds, such as those created by footsteps, the dropping of an object or the moving of furniture, can be a source of great annoyance in residential buildings. The character and level of impact noise generated depends on the object striking the floor, on the basic structure of the floor, and on the floor covering. This study base on the evaluate of isolation performance of impact sound according to the impact noise reduction methods. Reduction methods consist of four ways. First way is increase thickness of bare floor and other ways are using the soft coverings on the floor and ceiling assembles. Last way is make floating floor with shock absorbing materials.

Purpose： To assess diagnostic accuracy of dynamic contrast enhanced MR mammography in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Materials and methods： Ninety-three patients with suspicious mammographic, sonographic or palpable findings underwent pre- or postoperative contrast-enhanced MR imaging of breast using three dimensional fast low-angle shot (3D FLASH) sequence (16/4 msec［repetition time / echo time］, 20 flip angle, 3mm slice thickness with no slice gap, 256 by 256 in-plane matrix) covering whole breasts. T1 weighted images were obtained before and after bolus administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine (0.15 mmol/kg). Subtraction images and time-signal intensity curves of region of interest were obtained sequentially and correlated with pathologic diagnoses of lesions.

This paper describes a patient with an insufficient vestibular depth for a removable partial denture who underwent vestibuloplasty with a free gingival graft using a titanium mesh in the anterior mandible. Free gingiva was harvested from the palatal mucosa, and a partial thickness flap was elevated at the recipient site. After minimal suturing for the graft, a titanium mesh was fixed over the graft. The mesh was removed four weeks after surgery. The patient obtained an adequate vestibular depth and keratinized gingiva eight weeks after surgery without any complications. In this case, an appropriate vestibular depth and keratinized gingiva were easily obtained by vestibuloplasty using a titanium mesh.

The purpose of this study is to derive the cause of the quantity difference and present the considerations when take-off rebar quantity based on BIM model by comparing the quantity of rebar based on BIM model with 2D drawing. This research was limited to take-off the quantity of rebars in the building frame work, and after take-off the quantity of rebars by 3D modeling the 2D drawing of the target building with Revit, the quantity difference was compared with 2D-based software. Therefore, when take-off the quantity of rebars based on the BIM model, instead of take-off the existing 2D-based quantity premium proportion, according to general structural consider development length, lap splice length, covering thickness, reinforcing bars and spacing. In the future, this study is expected to contribute to improving the accuracy of BIM-based frame construction quantity take-off.

Anterior and posterior parallel opposed field technique covering entire neck is desirable for elimination of junctional problems in treating upper neck with bilateral parallel opposed fields and lower neck with anterior one field. For good dose distribution in neck, dose in build-up region should be high for anterior field and should be low for posterior field. And so, with 10 MV X-ray, lead absorber was used for anterior field only. The adequate thickness of lead absorber, absorber-skin separation, width of central cord block for posterior field and anterior & posterior field weight were studied using film dosimery. The results are as follows. 1. As the thickness of the lead absorber increased the dose in build-up region increased. 2. As the absorber-skin separation decreased the dose in build-up region increased. 3. The adequate thickness of lead absorber was around 5.6mm. 4. The adequate absorber-skin separation was around 5cm. 5. The adequate posterior cord block width was 3cm. 6. 4:1 weighting for anterior and posterior field was adequate. And so with this technique, adequate dose distribution could be made as well as elimination junction problems.

Background A thin perforator flap is one of the best methods for covering defects. This study aimed to revisit and further test the rapidly advancing field of flap thinning techniques. Methods We performed two cadaveric studies to test the known flap thinning methods, and then applied these methods to a clinical series. In the first study, five cadavers were used to observe the anatomical relation of the perforator with the subdermal plexuses and the subcutaneous fat layer by injecting a colored latex solution. The second study was done on four cadavers independently from the first study. Last, a clinical series was performed on 15 patients. Results The areolar fat lobules of 10 anterolateral thigh perforator (ALT), seven deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP), and six thoracodorsal artery perforator (TAP) flaps were dissected to reduce the flap thickness guided by the colored vascular pattern. On average, the ALT, DIEAP, and TAP flaps were reduced to $32.76%{\pm}9.76%$, $37.01%{\pm}9.21%$, and $35.42%{\pm}9.41%$, respectively. In the second study, the areolar fat lobules were directly dissected in six ALT, six TAP, and four MSAP flaps, and an average reduction in flap thickness of $53.41%{\pm}5.64%$, $52.30%{\pm}2.88%$, and $47.87%{\pm}6.41%$, respectively, was found. In the clinical series, 13 out of the 15 cases yielded satisfactory outcomes with an average thickness reduction of $37.91%{\pm}7.15%$. Conclusions These multiple studies showed that the deep fat layer could be safely removed to obtain a thin yet viable perforator flap. This evidence suggests that the macroscopic flap thinning technique can achieve thin flaps. Surgeons should consider this technique before embracing the latest technique of supermicrosurgery.

Background Full-thickness nail bed defects with significant exposure of the distal phalanx are typically challenging to reconstruct. We describe a novel method of nail bed defect reconstruction using a thenar fascial flap combined with nail bed grafting. Methods Full-thickness nail bed defects were reconstructed in a 2-stage operation involving the placement of a thenar fascial flap and subsequent nail bed grafting. A proximally-based skin flap was designed on the thenar eminence. The flap was elevated distally to proximally, and the fascial layer covering the thenar muscle was dissected proximally to distally. The skin flap was then closed and the dissected fascial flap was turned over (proximal to distal) and inset onto the defect. The finger was immobilized for 2 weeks, and the flap was dressed with wet and ointment dressings. After 2 weeks, the flap was divided and covered with a split-thickness nail bed graft from the great toe. Subsequent nail growth was evaluated on follow-up. Results Nine patients (9 fingers) treated with the novel procedure were evaluated at follow-up examinations. Complete flap survival was noted in all cases, and all nail bed grafts took successfully. Five outcomes (55.6%) were graded as excellent, three (33.3%) as very good, and one (11.1%) as fair. No donor site morbidities of the thenar area or great toe were observed. Conclusions When used in combination with a nail bed graft, the thenar fascial flap provides an excellent means of nail bed reconstruction.
