In this paper, we analysis 3 types of magnetic resonance image for determining whether brain infarction period is hyperacute or not. If its peirod is hyperacute, we can predict brain infarction transition direction. We use EPI(Echo Planar Image) for prediction of brain infarction transition direction. EPI is a good image for detecting brain infarction because EPI can detect the moving of water in brain which play an important role in deciding method of medical treatment. We utilize characteristics of 3 type of MRI and their relation in brain infarction patient for determining brain infarction period. By this method, we obtain each period characteristics and predict brain infarction transition direction more accurately comparing past method.

Objective : To review the method, parameters, system of electrogastrography and to study its oriental medical application. Method : We investigate the research results through internet search engines such as Pubmed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Conclusion : Electrogastrography is believed to be of great use to the verification of treatment effect of herbal medicine that is used in internal medicine and neuropsychiatry, along with the objectification and quantification of diagnosis of oriental medicine related to gastric peristalsis and balance of autonomic nervous system. I would therefore like to conclude that there should be continued study and active application of electrogastrography in the wide variety of oriental medicine.

Diversification and individualization are pursued to fulfill the increasing human desire for beauty. There are many methods to change human appearances; of these, a permanent wave is often applied to improve beauty. A permanent wave uses physical and chemical methods to break and reform the bonds of natural hair. Thus, research into the optimized conditions for permanent waves is necessary to minimize hair damage and improve the efficiency of the treatment. The object of this study is to examine the effect of varying the alkalinity (8%, 12%, and 16%) of the permanent wave treatment on the wave efficiency, degree of hair damage via tensile strength, and degree of hair protein release. The results indicate that the treatment with the highest alkalinity (16%) is more effective than that with 8% alkalinity; however, the degree of hair damage when treated with the 16% alkalinity wave is higher than with the 8% alkalinity wave. Additionally, hair proteins increasingly dissolve with increasing alkalinity of the permanent wave.

Single-tooth implantation has become a common treatment solution for replacement of a root-fractured maxillary incisor in adults, but the long-term esthetic results can be unfavorable due to progressive marginal bone loss, resulting in gingival recession. In this case report, a maxillary central incisor with a root fracture in its apical one-third was orthodontically extruded and extracted in a 21-year-old female. Implant surgery was performed after a 3-month healing period, and the final crown was placed about 12 months after extraction. After 12 years, favorable osseous and gingival architectures were visible with adequate bone height and thickness at the buccal cortical plate, and no gingival recession was seen around the implant-supported crown. Although modern dentistry has been shifting toward simplified, clinical procedures and shorter treatment times, both general dentists and orthodontists should be aware of the possible long-term esthetic advantages of orthodontic extrusion of hopelessly fractured teeth for highly esthetically demanding areas and should educate and motivate patients regarding the choice of this treatment solution, if necessary.

We describes the process of 3D virtual treatment planning and of CAD/CAM for surgical splint in orthognathic surgery. The potential benefits and disadvantages of 3D virtual approach and the use of CAD/CAM system for the treatment of the patient with a maxillofacial deformity are discussed. For the more convenient applications,3D software should be improved.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by a heterogeneous group of monogenic diabetes. MODY has autosomal dominant inheritance, a primary defect in pancreatic β-cell, and an early onset. Discriminating MODY from type 1 or type 2 diabetes is often challenging at first. To date, 14 different disease causing mutations have been identified in MODY patients worldwide. Targeted DNA sequencing is the gold standard to diagnose MODY and their asymptomatic relatives. Next-generation sequencing may help successfully to diagnose MODY patients and identify new MODY genes. In this review, the current perspectives on diagnosis and treatment of MODY and discrepancy in the disease-causing mutations between the Asian and Caucasian patients with MODY are summarized.

β-ureidopropionase (β-UP) is an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the pyrimidine degradation pathway, which converts β-ureidopropionate and β-ureidoisobutyrate into β-alanine and β-aminoisobutyrate, respectively. β-UP deficiency (UPB1D; OMIM # 613161) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive inborn error disease caused by a mutation in the UPB1 gene on chromosome 22q11. To date, approximately 40 cases of UPB1D have been reported worldwide, including one case in Korea. The clinical manifestations of patients with UPB1D are known to be diverse, with a very wide range of manifestations being previously reported; these manifestations include completely asymptomatic, urogenital and colorectal anomalies, or severe neurological involvement, including global developmental delay, microcephaly, early onset psychomotor retardation with dysmorphic features, epilepsy, optic atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, severely delayed myelination, and cerebellar hypoplasia. Currently, diagnosis of UPB1D is challenging as neurological manifestations, MRI abnormalities, and biochemical analysis for pyrimidine metabolites in the urine, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid also need to be confirmed by UPB1 gene mutations. Overall, treatment of patients with UPB1D is palliative as there is still no definitive curative treatment available.

질산화 미생물은 환경조건에 대단히 민감하여 질산화 영향인자의 변화에 의하여 미생물의 성장과 활동이 좌우되고, 이에 의해 질산화 공정의 성공여부가 좌우된다. 질산화에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 배양온도, pH, 용존산소, 기질량, C/N비, 미생물량 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐수처리장의 활성슬러지를 이용하여 합성폐수의 질산화 공정에 미치는 인자들에 대한 연구를 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 고농도의 암모니아성 질소(100 mg/L 이상)를 함유한 경우에 있어서는 합성폐수의 pH가 초기 8에서 pH 6.8까지 감소하였다. 이는 질산화 과정을 통하여 아질산성 질소와 질산성 질소가 생성되어 합성폐수 중의 pH 변화를 가져온 것으로 판단된다. 질산화 공정에서 각각 초기 암모니아성 질소 농도, 공급공기량, 접종한 활성슬러지 양에 비례해서 일정구간에서는 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도가 증가하였다. 질산화 공정에서 C/N 비의 영향은 일정 C/N 비 범위에서는 탄소원이 존재할수록 초기에 암모니아성 질소의 제거율이 증진되는 결과를 얻었다.
