Despite increased utilization of microvascular anastomotic coupler (MAC) devices, the consequences have yet to be fully explored in terms of vascular regeneration. Removal of an exposed venous coupler is described herein, documenting normal circulatory flow through the remodeled site of application. A 25-year-old man who underwent open reduction and rigid fixation elsewhere for traumatic calcaneal fracture ultimately presented with a necrotic postoperative wound. The debrided defect was treated by free thigh perforator flap, incorporating a MAC device. Three months later, the flap remained viable, but the MAC itself was exposed. Structural integrity of the vessel and blood flow were sustained as the device was carefully removed, confirming true vascular remodeling in this example of MAC usage.

ITO thin films were grown on the glass substrate under various oxygen gas flow and substrate temperature by using FTS (Facing Target Sputtering) system. To investigate properties of as-prepared films for transparent electrical devices, we employed four-point probe, UV-VIS spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Hall Effect measurement system and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). As a results, all of prepared samples has high transmittance of over 80 % in the visible range (300-800 nm). Their resistivity increased as a function of oxygen gas flow and substrate temperature due to their crystal structure and oxygen defect in the films. As-prepared films have a resistivity of under $10^{-4}({\Omega}-cm)$.

For the successful guided bone regeneration(GBR) of maxillary bony defect, proper soft tissue coverage is one of the most important things. Soft tissue dehiscence can be most common reason of osseous reconstruction failure. If a vascular supply to the graft should not develop from the host tissue, then the graft may also foil. Both of these prerequisites can be aided by judicious use of the buccal fat pad(BFP). Many methods for adequate soft tissue coverage have been proposed and the use of the BFP is one of them. BFP is useful in posterior maxillary area, can cover larger area and have higher blood flow than other methods. so the use of the BFP may offer protection and early blood supply to maxillary bone graft. This report describes the history, anatomy, blood flow, and clinical usefulness with two clinical cases.

For ischemic cerebrovascular disease, it is well known that early luxury perfusion is related to a good clinical outcome and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) has the potential for providing useful information about regional cerebral blood flow. We report one case of Rt. MCA infarction mainly treated by oriental medicine and revealed luxury perfusion without thrombolysis. In acute stage, neurological deficits of the patient were very severe. 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT images obtained 10days after the attack showed large perfusion defect in the Rt. MCA territory. We followed up 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT 40days after the ictus. Despite of the poor early perfusion, we found considerably improved perfusion and neurological improvement.

Twenty-two patients were selected for evaluation of pre-and postoperative pulmonary function. These patients were performed open cardiac surgery with the extracorporeal circulation from March 1979 to July 1980 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Kyungbook National University Hospital. Patients were classified with ventricular septal defect 5 cases, atrial septal defect 5 cases, tetralogy of Fallot 5 cases, mitral stenosis 4 cases, rupture of aneurysm of sinus Valsalva 1 case, left atrial myxoma I case, and aortic insufficiency 1 case. The pulmonary function tests were performed and listed: [1] respiratory rate, tidal volume [TV], and minute volume[MV], [2] forced vital capacity [FVC] and forced expiratory volume[FEV 0.5 & FEV 1.0], [3] forced expiratory flow [FEF 200-1200 ml & FEF 25-75%]. [4] Maximal voluntary ventilation [MVV], [5] residual volume [RV] and functional residual capacity[FRC], measured by a helium dilution technique. Respiratory rate increased during the early postoperative days and tidal volume decreased significantly. These values returned to the preoperative levels after postoperative 5-6 days. Minute volume decreased slightly, but essentially unchanged. Preoperative mean values of the forced vital capacity, functional residual capacity and total lung capacity decreased [63.2%, 87.2% & 77.3% predicted, respectively], and early postoperatively these values decreased further [19.6%, 76.0% & 38.0% predicted], but later progressively increased to the preoperative levels. In residual volume, there was no decline in the preoperative mean values [100.9% predicted] and postoperatively the value rather increased [106.3-161.7% predicted]. Forced expiratory volume [FEV 0.5 & FEV 1.0] and forced expiratory flow [FEF 200-1200 ml & FEF 25-75%] also revealed significant declines in the early postoperative period. There was no significant difference in values of the spirometric pulmonary function tests, such as FEF 1.O and FEF 25-75% between successful weaning group [17 cases] extubated within 24 hrs post-operatively and unsuccessful weaning group [5 cases] extubated beyond 24 hrs. Static compliance and airway resistance measured for the two cases during assisted ventilation, however, any information was not obtained. Long term follow-up pulmonary function studies were carried out for 8 cases in 9 months post-operatively. All of the results returned to the pre-operative or to normal predicted levels except FVC, FEV 1.0, and FEF 25-75% those showed minimal declines compared to the pre-operative figures.

Recently, there is a need to produce a large forged part for the flight, shipping, some energies, and military industries, etc. Therefore, an open die forging technique of cast ingots is required to obtain higher quality of large size forged parts. Cogging process is one of the primary stages in many open die forging processes. In the cogging process prior to some open die forging processes, internal cavities have to be eliminated for defect-free. The present work is concerned with the elimination of the internal cavities in large ingots so as to obtain sound products. In this study, hot compression tests were carried out to obtain the flow stress of cast microstructure at different temperature and strain rates. The FEM analysis is performed to investigate the overlap defect of cast ingots during cogging stage. The measured flow stress data were used to simulate the cogging process of cast ingot using the practical material properties. Also the analysis of cavity closure is performed by using the $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$. The calculated results of cavity closure behavior are compared with the measured results before and after cogging, which are scanned by the X-ray scanner. From this result, the criteria for deformation amounts effect on the cavity closure can be investigated by the comparison between practical experiment and numerical analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and the effectiveness of local flaps in lower extremity reconstruction. Materials and Methods: We have performed lower extremity reconstruction with local flap in 14 cases (10 males and 4 females) from May 2006 to February 2008. The mean age was 40.1 years (range, 16~67). The defect site was the tibia in 5 cases, the ankle in 1 case and the foot in 8 cases. The local flaps were reverse flow sural artery flap in 7 cases, gastrocnemius flap in 3 cases, lateral supramalleolar flap in 2 cases, dorsalis pedis flap in 1 case and medial hemisoleus flap in 1 case. Results: All flaps were survived. Venous congestion was developed in 1 case of the rerverse flow sural artery flap but healed with secondary rotational flap. Other flaps were good without any complications. Conclusion: If we choose precisely indicated local flap in lower extremity reconstruction, the resultant coverage of defect would be excellent.

Background: The cheek rotation flap has sufficient blood flow and large flap size and it is also flexible and easy to manipulate. It has been used for reconstruction of defects on cheek, lower eyelid, or medial and lateral canthus. For the large defects on central nose, paramedian forehead flap has been used, but patients were reluctant despite the remaining same skin tone on damaged area because of remaining scars on forehead. However, the cheek flap is cosmetically superior as it uses the adjacent large flap. Thus, the study aims to demonstrate its versatility with clinical practices. Methods: This is retrospective case study on 38 patients who removed facial masses and reconstructed by the cheek rotation flap from 2008 to 2015. It consists of defects on cheek (16), lower eyelid (12), nose (3), medial canthus (3), lateral canthus (2), and preauricle (2). Buccal mucosa was used for the reconstruction of eyelid conjunctiva, and skin graft was processed for nasal mucosa reconstruction. Results: The average defect size was $6.4cm^2$, and the average flap size was $47.3cm^2$. Every flap recovered without complications such as abnormal slant, entropion or ectropion in lower eyelid, but revision surgery required in three cases of nasal side wall reconstruction due to the occurrence of dog ear on nasolabial sulcus. Conclusion: The cheek rotation flap can be applicable instead of paramedian forehead flap for the large nasal sidewall defect reconstruction as well as former medial and lateral canthal defect reconstruction.

급성 뇌졸중의 경우 빠른 시간 내의 진단과 치료가 예후에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 초급성기 뇌경색 환자에서 관류CT와 확산강조MRI의 영상을 비교하여 허혈 부위와 경색부위에 나타나는 차이점을 알아보고자 하였다. 뇌관류 CT와 확산강조 자기공명영상(diffusion weighted MR imaging, DW-MRI)을 시행한 12명의 급성뇌경색 환자를 대상으로 병변부위와 정상부위에서 각각의 CBF, CBV, MTT, TTP지도와 DW-MRI의 신호강도 값을 비교하고, 관류CT와 DW-MRI에서 병변의 크기 비교를 해보았다. CBF, CBV, MTT, TTP는 모두 관류결손을 보였고, 관류 결손이 인지되는 부위에서 MTT와 TTP시간의 현저한 지연이 있었다. 뿐만 아니라, MTT와 TTP 지도의 결손부위 면적은 DW-MRI 보다 크게 나타나 허혈성 반음영을 추측할 수 있었고, 일부 DW-MRI에서 경색부위를 나타내지 못하는 경우도 있었다. 결론적으로 관류 CT의 지도를 이용하면 뇌경색의 조기 진단뿐만 아니라 허혈 중심부, 그리고 허혈성 반음영을 예측하여 관류결손 부위의 혈류 역학적 상태를 평가 할 수 있어 보다 효과적인 치료계획을 세울 수 있다.

Electrical burns of the lips are most frequently seen in small children, who are apt to chew on electrical cord or plug, the ends of extension cords in their mouth, saliva creates a short circuit across the terminals within the plug, causing an electrical burn. Tissue destruction with electrical burns is sudden and extensive. Extensive, deep coagulation necrosis is instaneously produced by the extreme temparatures of electrical arc. If the child is well grounded, the circuit flow through his body may cause cardiac arrest. The purpose of this report is to document two cases of electrical lip burn and reconstruction of the lip defect with some local flap techniques. For case 1, Z plasty & V-Y plasty and lengthening of the commissure and in case 2, Abbe flap technique was used and scar was revised later. Z-plasty and V-Y plastry were used for scar release and Abbe flap was designed on lower lip to meet the need of upper lip. For short of right lip width, lengthening of the commissure was done. We are to report the improvement with forementioned operation on the patient of electrical burn upon the lip.
