In patients having a short nose with a short septal length and/or severe columellar retraction, a septal extension graft is a good solution, as it allows the dome to move caudally and pushes down the columellar base. Fixing the medial crura of the alar cartilages to a septal extension graft leads to an uncomfortably rigid nasal tip and columella, and results in unnatural facial animation. Further, because of the relatively small and weak septal cartilage in the East Asian population, undercorrection of a short nose is not uncommon. To overcome these shortcomings, we have used the septal extension graft combined with a derotation graft. Among 113 patients who underwent the combined procedure, 82 patients had a short nose deformity alone; the remaining 31 patients had a short nose with columellar retraction. Thirty-two patients complained of nasal tip stiffness caused by a septal extension graft from previous operations. In addition to the septal extension graft, a derotation graft was used for bridging the gap between the alar cartilages and the septal extension graft for tip lengthening. Satisfactory results were obtained in 102 (90%) patients. Eleven (10%) patients required revision surgery. This combination method is a good surgical option for patients who have a short nose with small septal cartilages and do not have sufficient cartilage for tip lengthening by using a septal extension graft alone. It can also overcome the postoperative nasal tip rigidity of a septal extension graft.

Scoliosis is a complex musculoskeletal dieses requiring 3-D treatment with surgical instrumentation. To investigate the effects of correction surgery, a finite element model of personalized model of the scoliotic spine that will allow the design of clinical test providing optimal estimation of the post-operation results was developed. Three dimensional skeletal parts, such as vertebrae, clavicle and scapular were modeled as rigid bodies with keeping their morphologies. Kinematical joints and spring elements were adapted to represent the inter-vertebral disc and ligaments respectively. With this model, two types of surgery procedure, distraction procedure with Harrington device and rod derotation procedure with pedicle screw and rod system had been carried out. The obtained simulation results were comparatively corresponding to the post operational outcomes and successfully demonstrated qualitative analysis of surgical effectiveness. From this analysis, it has been found that the preparing of appropriate rod curvature and its insertion was more important than just performing the excessive derotation for scoliosis correction.

본 연구의 목적은 치아의 이동양상을 관찰하기 위해 고안된 Calorific machine system(typodont simulation system)과 precision TPA를 이용하여, 근심 회전된 (mesial-in rotation) 상악 대구치를 회전 (derotation)시킨 후 해당 치아 및 반대측 고정 원의 공간변화를 확인하기 위함이다. 우측 상악 제 1대구치를 고정원으로 사용하였고 좌측 상악 제 1대구치를 근심 회전된 치아로 사용하였으며, TPA에 부여한 회전각은 $20^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$였다. 먼저 수동형의 precision TPA를 제작한 후, TPA의 왼쪽 삽입부위(tag)를 각각 $20^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$로 구부려 실험하였다. 각 군별 실험은 동일한 조건에서 5회 반복한 후 ANOVA와 Tucky's Studentized Range (HSD) test로 검정 하였다. 실험 결과, 교합면에서는 precision TPA의 구부리는 각도가 증가할수록 회전된 구치의 원심 설측 교두가 근심 설측 방향으로 움직이는 동안, 근심 협측 교두는 협측으로 더 많이 움직였고(p<0.001) 원심방향으로는 더 적게 움직였다. (p<0.001) 시상면에서 회전 구치의 구개측 치근은 더욱 근심으로 움직였다. (p<0.001) 횡단면에서는 회전된 치아가 약간의 정출을 보였다(p<0.001). 고정원으로 사용된 우측 상악 제1대구치는 세 평면에서 의미 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다.

The purpose of this article is to introduce a simple appliance that uses a setup model and a nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) wire for correcting the mesial rotation and drift of the permanent maxillary first molar. The technique involves bonding a Ni-Ti wire to the proper position of the target tooth on a setup model, followed by the fabrication of the transfer cap for indirect bonding and its transfer to the patient's teeth. This appliance causes less discomfort and provides better oral hygiene for the patients than do conventional appliances such as the bracket, pendulum, and distal jet. The treatment time is also shorter with the new appliance than with full-fixed appliances. Moreover, the applicability of the new appliance can be expanded to many cases by using screws or splinting with adjacent teeth to improve anchorage.

척추 측만증 교정 시 유합 범위에 따른 수술 후 의 효과를 분석하기 위하여 King-Moe type II 형태의 척추 측만증 환자를 대상으로 이에 대한 수학적 유한 요소 모델을 개발하였다. 유한 요소 모델을 이용하여 척추경 나사못을 이용한 고정 및 강봉 감염술 형태의 수술모사를 수행하였으며, 유합 범위를 각기 달리하여 수술 시뮬레이션 후의 척추계의 변화 즉 Cobb 각도, 첨추체 축회전, 흉추 후만각 그리고 늑골고의 변화를 정량적으로 계산하였다. 해석 결과 강봉 감염술의 경우에서 보다 강봉을 척추경 나사못에 연결시키는 과정에서 훨씬 더 많은 Cobb각도의 변화를 얻을 수 있었다. 강봉 감염술 과정에서는 약간의 Cobb각도 감소를 유발시킬 수 있었으나 오히려 척추체 축회전과 늑골 돌출고의 증가를 나타내었다 아울러 강봉과 척추경 나사못의 체결 과정이 척추 후만각 유지에도 큰 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 유합 범위를 변곡 발생 추체의 위치 보다 한 단계씩 길게(T4-12) 하여 60o의 강봉 감염술을 시행하였을 경우 Cobb 각도를 두 배 감소시킬 수 있었으나 급격한 늑골고와 첨추체 축회전량의 증가가 유발되었다. 해석 결과 유합 범위는 만곡 흠추체에서 변곡이 발생되는 위치 보다 한 레벨씩 작게 선정하는 것이 최적의 유합 범위임을 알 수 있었다.

Objective : To correct apical vertebral rotation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), direct vertebral derotation (DVD) or simple rod rotation (SRR) might be considered. The aim of the present study is to introduce the surgical experiences of AIS by a Korean neurosurgeon and to evaluate the effectiveness of SRR for apical vertebral rotation. Methods : A total of 9 patients (1 male and 8 females) underwent scoliosis surgery by a neurosurgeon of our hospital. The Lenke classifications of the patients were 1 of 1B, 2 of 1C, 1 of 2A, 1 of 2C, 3 of 5C and 1 of 6C. Surgery was done by manner of simple rod rotation on the concave side and in situ coronal bending. Coronal Cobb's angles, vertebral rotation angles and SRS-22 were measured on a plain standing X-ray and CT before and after surgery. Results : The mean follow up period was 25.7 months (range : 5-52). The mean number of screw positioning level was nine (6-12). The mean age was 16.4 years (range : 13-25) at surgery. The mean Risser grade was $3.7{\pm}0.9$. The apical vertebral rotation measured from the CT scans was $25.8{\pm}8.5^{\circ}$ vs. $9.3{\pm}6.7^{\circ}$ (p<0.001) and the Coronal Cobb's angle was $53.7{\pm}10.4^{\circ}$ vs. $15.4{\pm}6.5^{\circ}$ (p<0.001) preoperatively and postoperative, respectively. The SRS-22 improved from 71.9 preoperatively to 90.3 postoperatively. There were no complications related with the operations. Conclusion : SRR with pedicle screw instrumentation could be corrected successfully by axial rotation without complications. SRR might serve as a good option to correct AIS deformed curves of AIS.

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement algorithm using multiple chirp symbols with clock drift is proposed for accurate ranging. Improvement of the ranging performance can be achieved by using the multiple chirp symbols according to Cramer-Rao lower bound; however, distortion caused by clock drift is inevitable practically. The distortion induced by the clock drift is approximated as a linear phase term, caused by carrier frequency offset, sampling time offset, and symbol time offset. SNR of the averaged chirp symbol obtained from the proposed algorithm based on the phase derotation and the symbol averaging is enhanced. Hence, the ranging performance is improved. The mathematical analysis of the SNR enhancement agrees with the simulations.

CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) 은 간단한 하드웨어로 벡터의 위상으로의 변환이나 회전 등의 위상 연산을 할 수 있으므로 OFDM 수신 시스템에서의 주파수 동기부를 설계할 때 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 CORDIC 알고리듬에서 위상을 표현하는 방향 시퀀스 (direction sequence, DS) 가 선형적이지 않기 때문에 사용상의 많은 제약이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 근사적 선형성을 지닌 LBDS (linearized binary direction sequence) 표현 방법을 제안하고, LBDS의 최대 위상오차에 대해 분석한다. 또한 DS로부터 LBDS로 변환하는 하드웨어와 그 역변환 하드웨어의 구조를 제안한다. LBDS를 채택하면 위상 추정, 주파수 오차 루프 필터링, 위상 보정 역회전 등 주파수 동기의 전 과정에 CORDIC과 일반적인 산술 연산기를 사용할 수 있다. T-DMB 복조기에 사용될 수 있는 22비트 LBDS에 대한 예도 기술된다.

Background Nasal framework-supporting procedures such as septal extension grafts, derotation grafts, and columellar strut grafts are usually required in rhinoplasty in Asian patients because the skin envelope is tight, but the nasal framework is small and weak. Autologous materials are preferred, but they have some limitations related to the amount that can be harvested and the frequency of use. Therefore, synthetic materials have been used to overcome these limitations. Methods A total of 114 patients who received a polydioxanone (PDS) plate as an adjuvant material in rhinoplasty from September 2016 to August 2017 were retrospectively investigated. The PDS plate was used as to support the weak framework and to correct the contour of the alar cartilages. The PDS plate was used for reinforcement of columellar struts and septal L-struts, alar cartilage push-down grafts, fixation of septal extension grafts, and correction of alar contour deformities Results Primary and secondary rhinoplasty was performed in 103 and 11 patients, respectively. Clinically, no significant inflammation occurred, but decreased projection of the tip was observed in seven patients and relapse of a short nose was noted in five patients. Conclusions PDS plates have been used in the United States and Europe for more than 10 years to provide a scaffold for the nasal framework. These plates can provide reinforcement to columellar struts, L-struts, and septal extension grafts. In addition, they can assist in deformity correction. Therefore, PDS plates can be considered a good adjuvant material for Asian patients with weak and small nasal cartilage.
