Distichiasis is one of the diseases commonly encountered in companion animals, and these abnormal eyelashes cause corneal ulcers, continuous eye irritation, eye pain, glare, epiphora, foreign body sensation and can cause corneal opacity and vision loss in severe cases. In this study, an eyelash epilation needle for animals was developed and applied to a real case, and the results were observed. In a case of corneal ulcer caused by distichiasis of a 2-year-old Shih Tzu, a high-frequency surgical instrument for animals was converted into an electric epilation needle to attempt a procedure to destroy the eyelash hair follicles on the upper eyelid. A epilation needle was developed to have a diameter of 0.1 mm and a length of 4 mm at the end of the handle of DOCTANZ 400, an electrosurgical instrument for animals only. In the procedure, 2~3 mm of an epilation needle was inserted into the hair follicle, and 1 watt of electric power was applied to the hair follicle for about 5 sec. to carry out electrolysis until white bubbles were generated around the meibomian glands thereby destroying the hair follicle. As a result, no eyelashes grew any longer in the treated area indicating that the treatment was successful. It is hoped that the method developed in this study will be applied so that it will be widely used as a treatment method for distichiasis in companion animals that can be frequently seen hereafter.

One of Korean Typha species has been used two scientific names, T. angustifolia L. and T. angustata Bory et Chaubard without taxonomic examinations. Typha angustifolia has a longer females flowers than bracteoles and equal length of bracteoles and hairs in female flowers whereas T. angustata has equal length of female flowers and bracteoles and longer bracteloes than hairs in female flowers. In this study, the pattern of morphological variation of T. angustifolia in Korea is examined using numerical analysis to determine their taxonomical identities. Univariate analysis using morphological characters such as female flower length/bracteole length and bracteole lengh/hair length reveals that Korean T. angustifolia is composed of one group. The result of principal components analysis shows that Korean T. angustifolia is closely related to T. angustifolia distributed in Japan, Russia, and USA. Therefore, T. angustifolia L. (in Korea) is suggested as a legitimate scientific name.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between the demographic characteristics of Korean men and the preference of women's grading such as age, education, marital status, occupation, monthly income, and residence. After the questionnaire distribution, 333 questionnaires were analyzed statistically. Through this study, we will investigate the preference of men according to the step length of women's graduation cuts, and contribute to the establishment of the most preferred type of graduation cuts. As a result of the questionnaire analysis, 51.1% of all males preferred the gradation type with a large step of the cut length, and it was found that there was a difference in the preference for the step according to demographic characteristics (p <0.05) It is possible to conduct various studies on the style of the graduation cut among the hairstyles of women who are visually preferred and beautiful. In addition, it will be possible to derive the importance of customer satisfaction in hair salons, and it will be a basic index for searching for changes in the gradation cuts that can be applied in various ways while maximizing the aesthetic image of women.

Urethral reconstruction is a problematic issue, thus its management can be challenging. Different methods using various materials were introduced for urethral reconstruction. The authors have made some changes in the groin flap surgery, affording more successful urethral reconstruction for defects of long urethra and penile soft tissue. A 45-year-old male requested both functional and cosmetic reconstruction of his defected penis, caused by an iatrogenic urethral injury and chronic infection following removal of paraffin self-injected on the penile shaft. The defect affected the full length of the penile urethra, corpus spongiosum, and prepuce. A groin flap was designed, measuring $28{\times}10cm$. The most distal flap was utilized for the construction of the luminal surface of the neourethra; relaxed length measuring 8 cm, and the lumen wide enough. Competent external meatus and neourethra was confirmed by retrograde cystogram and the patient voided with sufficient urine caliber up to 2 years follow-up. This operative technique has advantages. Donor sites have non-hair bearing skin for the neourethra and minimal or almost notrecognizable donor site morbidity. After surgery, the patient was relieved from voiding difficulties combined with psychological stress. The author would like to introduce a unique approach for the urethral and ventral phalloplasty using the groin flap.

An 11-year-old female Yorkshire terrier presented with alopecia, hyperpigmentation, and pruritus. Dermatological examination revealed a large number of Demodex mites including D. cornei and D. canis. Mean length of total body length of D. cornei was one third shorter than that of D. canis. In addition, sequential analysis of DNA extracted from the skin lesions showed a 97% and 99% identity with the two sequences of D. canis and D. cornei. This is the first report of a combined infestation of D. cornei and D. canis in Korea, along with its morphological and molecular characterization.

This study investigates costumes for ball jointed dolls under the theme of Bok-yo(服妖): The Lady in Early-middle Joseon with relic costumes as a reference. The Bok-yo style was spread universally for Joseon women in the $15^{th}-16^{th}$ centuries, but it is an uncommon theme in the area of media and traditional costume for dolls. Bok-yo (curious outfit), consisted of a Dang-jeogori with a golden brocade in the front bottom, manlike Jang-ot, wide Chima, and Jang-ot was dressed between Chima and the Dang-jeogori. To make correct patterns and approvals for idle bodies of female ball-jointed dolls, darts are added in the front vertical line and center back of the golden brocade Dan-jeogori for Joseon ladies. The pattern of the golden brocade Chima is made as a trapezoid shape for the thin waist of a doll, and the length of a deep-greened silk gauze The Jang-ot increased because of the length of the doll's legs. In addition, the kinds of investigated accessories, hair, traditional underwear for dolls are limited. Suggested is a closer cooperation between the investigated costume designers, doll companies, and accessory makers for the future market of ball jointed dolls.

Purpose: This study aims to examine effect of microcurrent electrostimulation on burn healing by electric intensity and of which the electric intensity on the acute burn being cured with microcurrent electrostimulation therapy. Methods: 28 Sprague Dawley Rats is classified into a control group of 8 rats, an experimental group I of 10 rats and an experimental group II of 10 rats. The control group is not cured, the experimental group I is exposed to 10 Hz, and $100{\mu}A$ with microcurrent electrostimulation, and the experimental group II is exposed to 10 Hz, $300{\mu}A$ for 15 minutes a day. The next day, 2th, 4th, and 6th day after rats is burned. Result: There are not significant differences of length change of the burn cure between the control group, the experimental group I, and the experimental group II by a period. However, systematically hair follicle cell on the 2th day and epidermal cell on the 6th day turn up in the experimental group I, and the experimental group II. Inquiry: Nancy(1994) did not obtain the desired result when the skin of a pig is exposed to 0.1 Hz, and $100{\mu}A$ for wound healing. In the result of the study, when burn length is measured on the 2th, 4th, and 6th to see the length change of acute burn, there is not significant differences among 3 groups. Conclusion: Statistically, there is not significant differences of the length change between 3 groups. However, systematically the burn is cured faster in the experimental group I, and the experimental group II than in the contrast group.

Each cotton fiber is a unicellular hair collected from the seed of cotton plant. The fiber contains many convolutions along its length. Mercer was the first to suggest caustic soda treatment of cotton in commercial application. Mercerization has been commercially used since Lowe's suggestion to endow cotton with increased strength and affinity for dyes with additional properties such as fabric touch or luster. In this study, cotton fabric specimens were mercerized to investigate the changes in physical and mechanical properties pertaining to the hand or touch of fabrics. Physical properties were measured using the KES(Kawabata Evaluation System).

This paper proposes a gender identification using shoeprint images. It is difficult for the proposed method to identify an individual if shoeprint images for identification leaked out. Because the proposed method identifies gender without the faces, the type of dress and the hair types images. Therefore we can use safely the proposed method in public place. In addition, a sensor mat which we developed is reasonable to use mechanical switches arranged in a matrix pattern without pressure switches. We had shoeprint images with the sensor mat. We measure feature parameters from shoeprint images. The feature parameters are length, width and area of shoeprint. Utilizing the feature parameters, we identified gender. In order to verify the gender identification rate of the proposed method, we set up the sensor mat at an entrance of buildings and took shoeprint images of 100 men and 100 women. As a result, we achieved about 86 percent of the gender identification rate.
