The benefits of implant supported overdenture are readily apparent for the fully edentulous patients and have been well documented, however, there is deficiency of the studies regarding the combination of implants with removable partial dentures for partially edentulous patients. The purpose of this article is to review the literature concerning implants with removable partial dentures and evaluate the evidence for this clinical approach. Through many clinical case reports and studies we have searched from a broad variety of journals, we present the six considerations needed to contemplate respecting implants with removable partial denture in partially edentulous patients. First, the connection between abutment tooth and removable partial denture has to be rigid and the link between implant and removable partial denture should be hinged. Second, a mesial rest acts better in the point of force distribution for distal extension removable partial denture and splinting between implants is also a favorable choice. Third, T bar has an advantage for implants which are used as abutments in distal extension removable partial denture. Forth, as we all known functional impression is better way to reproduce movement for distal extension removable partial denture. Fifth, indirect retainer and guiding plane on the proximal surfaces of terminal abutment teeth are important in preventing denture base lifting. Sixth, implants in conjunction with removable partial denture is superior in the esthetic and phonetic as well as cost-effective point of view. We also suggest that which place we should install implants for force distribution and which diameter and length of implants should be used. in this review article, we recommend to locate the implant near of the abutment tooth for esthetics or near of first molar position for good stress distribution. The diameter and length of implant also influence to stress distribution. When we compare to conservative partial denture, patients go for removable partial denture using implants due to convenience, better support and retention according to several studies. But it is true that we need to study more on this subject and collect long term follow up cases before we discuss on it. So it is enough to bring this subject into the surface of prosthetic treatment by this article.

Objective : This study was designed to find the most effective and safest way to overcome Lumbago due to blood stasis and sprain involved in a few Meridian Tendino-musculatures by evaluating the effect of two kinds of Dong-gi(Dong-qi) Acupuncture(DGA) and by reporting their side effects. Material : 97 patients of out and admission patients were selected, who were diagnosed with lumbar sprain caused by repetitive bending, heavy weight lifting, unsuitable posture, concussion and falling down and whose Lumbago due to blood stasis and sprain in the concept of oriental medicine. Methods : 97 patients were divided into three groups. One is exclusive DGA group to which DGA and the method retaining needles on the acupoints for about 20 minutes were applied, the other is DGA combined active exercise group in which patients stretched their Meridian Tendino-muscuIatures with their hips moving up and downward repeatedly during DGA, the third is DGA combined passive exercise group in which patients were made to flex or extend their bodies on the auto flexion-distraction table in a prone position, from 10 to 20 degree, during DGA. In each group, bed rest, physical therapy and herbal medicine were used according to symptoms, in addition to DGA. In DGA method, "Su(Shu)" points of the meridian related to the involved Meridian Tendino-musculature were mainly chosen, that is, Sokkol(Shugu, B65), Hugye(Houxi, SI3), ChungJo(Zhongzhu, TE3) were used, for most LBP belonged to Bladder and Gallbladder Meridian Tendino-musculature disorders. Pyong-Bo-Pyong-Sa(Ping-Bu-Ping-Xie) such as Dong-Gi and Yeom-Jeon(Nian-Zhuan) was applied as Bo-Sa method. For evaluation of effectiveness, new score system was devised by severity of pain and range of movement. the score was given twice at patients' first and last visit and the difference between first and last score was regarded as a evaluation scale, the effectiveness was classified into four grade by evaluation scale.(scale : 12-15; excellent, 8-11; good, 4-7; fair, 0-3; bad) Results : 1. Exclusive DGA, DGA combined active exercise and DGA combined passive exercise group showed 97, 87 and 89% in effectiveness. 2. Exclusive DGA, DGA combined active exercise and DGA combined passive exercise group showed no aggravation of pain, range of movement. 3. In blood test of 34 patients, only one patient showed abnormal rise of sGOT, sGPT and $\gamma$-GTP at his first visit and the others didn't show any detrimental change. DGA had no bad influence upon BUN and creatinine of patients. Conclusion : For complex theraphy combining DGA, exercise, physical therapy and Herbal medicine proved to be highly effective on treating lumbago due to blood stasis and sprain, this is expected to be available for clinical use.

우주법상의 분쟁은 전문적, 기술적 성격을 띠고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 우주개발 기술이 발전된 선진국과 개발도상국가와의 이해관계의 차이가 매우 크다는 점에서 독특한 측면이 있다. 현재의 우주관련 협정들의 분쟁해결조항들을 분석해 보면 국가가 그들의 주권과 충돌하는 문제에 대해서 아직도 불신과 의구심을 드러내고 있다는 사실을 쉽게 간파할 수 있다. 그들은 사법적 판결이나 구속력 있는 중재에 분쟁해결을 의뢰하는 것을 꺼린다. 이러한 규정들은 정치적, 경제적, 사회적 이익과 인구통계학적 특성이 상이한 국가사이의 협상일 때 특히 그러하다. 그렇지만 국가들이 국가주권의 장벽을 걷어낼 필요성이 점점 커지고 있는 오늘날의 정치적, 경제적 그리고 기술적 압력들을 인식하게 되면서 이러한 태도는 서서히 그러나 명백히 변화하고 있다. 우주의 탐사 및 개발과 관련하여 증가하는 분쟁의 해결을 위한 효과적인 제도적 장치를 구축하는 작업은 국제기구나 개별국가뿐만 아니라 각국의 국제법 학자와 국제단체들에게 주어진 범세계적 연구과제라 할 것이다. 전술한 바 있는 1972년의 책임협약도 분쟁해결에 있어서 비교적 정교한 규정내용을 가진 우주관련 조약이긴 하지만 구속력 있는 결정을 확보하는 데는 실패했다. 이 조약의 채택이래로 강제적 관할권과 판정의 이행을 지지하는 압력단체가 출현하기도 했으며 특히 우주분쟁해결을 위한 분야별 국제적 메카니즘이 시급히 마련되어야 한다는 인식이 확산되었다. 이 점에서 1998년의 Taipei에서 채택된 분쟁해결을 위한 ILA의 협약 초안은 독립적인 분야별 우주분쟁해결 제도의 창설 여부에 대한 심도 있는 논의를 위해 의미가 큰 유용한 틀을 제공 하고 있다고 본다. 동 협약초안에 따르면 분쟁당사국 특히 우주선진국들이 구속적인 분쟁해결 절차를 꺼려한다는 사실을 고려하여 우주활동에 관한 분쟁을 선택적으로 해결하도록 할 수 있는 가능한 다양한 방법을 제시하고 있다는 점이 눈에 띈다. 즉, 당사자들은 이 협약을 서면, 비준, 가입할 때 동 협약의 해석이나 적용에 관한 분쟁을 해결하기 위하여 국제우주법재판소, 국제사법재판소 그리고 중재재판소 등 3가지 강제적 절차 중에서 하나 이상을 선택선언 할 수 있도록 하고 있는바 이것은 장차 우주활동에 따른 분쟁해결에 있어 커다란 시사점을 던져주는 것이기도 하다. 이제 국제우주법은 우주활동의 문제점과 복잡성을 조정할 수 있는 특성화된 분쟁해결체제의 요구로 국제우주법의 역사에 있어서 새로운 국면에 처해 있다. 아직은 우주선진국을 중심으로 구속적인 분쟁해결기구 창설에 반대하는 경향이 존재하는 것이 사실이지만 최근에 각 분야별로 국제법의 일반적인 준칙의 발전이 이루어져 가고 있고 해양법이나 형사법의 영역에서도 볼 수 있듯이 우주법 분야에 있어서도 점증하는 법적 분쟁의 해결을 위해 해양이용분야에 있어서의 해양법재판소 등을 참고하여 그에 준하는 효율적 분쟁해결기구의 탄생을 전향적으로 검토해야할 계제가 되었다는 점을 강조하고자 한다.

Clinical observation was made on 44 cases of stable thoracolumbar compression fracture that were confirmed through simple x-ray and neurological examination. They were hospitalized and treated by acupuncture and moxibustion, bed rest, herb medicine and physical therapy. If necessary, patient was given an enema. The results obtained are as follows. 1. The patient distribution ratio, in regard to sex, was shown to be 1: 13.7 for males to females. In regard to age, it was shown that people in their 60's was the most predominant case, followed by people in their 70's, 80's, 50's and 40's, respectively. 2. In regard to contributing factors, it was observed that accidental falls were most frequent, followed by reasons unknown, repetitive lifting of heavy objects, overlaboring and bruise in that order. 3. In regard to duration of illness before treatment, it was found that treatment within 1 week was most predominant, followed by over 4 weeks, and 1-2 weeks, respectively. 4. With regard to the duration of hospitalization, hospitalization within 2 weeks was found to be most predominant, followed by 2-4 weeks. 5. In regard to the level of the affected vertebral body; The affected vertebral bodies distributed between T3 to L5 except for T7; T12 was found to be most predominant, followed in turn by L1 and L5. 6. In regard to the number of affected vertebral bodies, 2 was the most frequent followed by 1 and 3, in that order. The average of the number of affected vertebral bodies was observed to be 2.8 and single vertebral body compression fracture was shown to have no clinical and statistical difference as compared with multiple vertebral body compression fractures. 7. In regard to the grade of the seriousness of symptoms, it was found that Grade IV was most predominant, followed by Grade III. 8. With regard to signs at the first medical examination, low back pain was seen in the highest number, and followed in order by gait disturbance, flank pain, flexion-extension disturbance, disturbance of rotation to right or left, and bowel dysfunction. 9. Concerning the effect of treatment, good results were most predominantly seen, and 95.5% of total patients showed fair results. 10. The duration of admission treatment due to the grade of clinical symptoms was as follows; In the case of the Grade IV, it was observed that within 2 weeks was most predominant and for Grade III was 2-4 weeks. It was also found that the grade of clinical symptoms was not in proportion to the duration of admission treatment. 11. In regard to the result of treatment due to the grade of clinical symptoms; It was found that in the case of Grade IV, within 2 weeks was most predominant, and for Grade III, it was found to be 2-4 weeks. 12. Intestinal obstruction was shown in 50% of total patients; In the case of duration of constipation, more than 1 week was found to be most predominant, followed by 2 and 4 days respectively. 13. With regard to the treatment of intestinal obstruction, using acupuncture and moxibustion, herb - medicine and enema together were found to be most effective. 14. Intestinal obstruction was mostly seen in the case of Grade IV.
