치아에 부착된 bracket이 교정선을 따라 이동할때 필연적으로 bracket과 교정선, 결찰재 사이에 마찰력이 발생된다. 이에 저자는 동일한 bracket내에서 교정선의 종류, 결찰방법, 건조와 타액상태에 따른 마찰력 차이, 타액의 윤활제로서의 기능을 살펴보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하게 되었다. 본 실험에 사용된 bracket은 .18" ${\times}$ .025" slot의 상악 견치용 standard edgewise bracket(RMO. USA)이며, 교정선은 .016" , .016" ${\times}$ .022" 크기의 Cobalt-chromium(Elgiloy : RMO. USA), Nickel-titanium(Ni-Ti) (ORTHOLLOY : Goldstar Cable Co. KOREA), Beta- titanium(TMA : ORMCO Co., USA)의 2가지 형태의 3종을 이용하여 활주할 때의 마찰력을 만능시험기(Instron, M 1000 EC)를 사용하여 계측하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 각각의 동일조건하에서 교정선의 재질에 따른 마찰력은 Co-Cr, Ni-Ti, ${\beta}$-Ti순으로 증가하였다. 단, 타액상태에서 elastomeric으로 결찰한 .016" 군에서는 예외이다. 2. 각 조건하(건조/타액상태, .016" /.016" ${\times}$.022" ) 에서 결찰방법에 따른 마찰력은 elastomeric보다 stainless steel결찰에서 더 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 3. 각각의 교정선과 결찰방법에서 타액 유무에 따른 마찰력은 stainless steel로 결찰한 .016" Co-Cr, Ni-Ti, ${\beta}$-Ti는 타액상태에서 감소하나, stainless steel로 결찰한 .016" ${\times}$.022" Co-Cr, Ni-Ti, ${\beta}$-Ti는 타액상태에서 증가하였다(p<0.05). 4. 각 조건하(건조/타액상태, elastomeric/stainless steel 결찰) .016" 과 .016" ${\times}$.022" 교정선 사이의 마찰력은 .016" ${\times}$.022" 교정선에서 증가하였다(p<0.05).

Background: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early surgical ligation (within 15 days of age) over late surgical ligation (after 15 days of age) by a comparative analysis of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants undergoing surgical correction for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) over the course of 6 years in our hospital. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all the medical records in the neonatal intensive care unit at Hanyang University Seoul Hospital, from March 2007 to May 2013, to identify VLBW infants (<1,500 g) who underwent surgical PDA ligation. Results: The gestational age (GA) in the late ligation (LL) group was significantly younger than in the early ligation (EL) group (p=0.010). The other baseline characteristics and preoperative conditions did not differ significantly between the two groups. The intubation period before surgery (p<0.001) and the age at surgery (p<0.001) were significantly different. The postoperative clinical outcomes of the study patients, including major morbidity and mortality, are summarized. There were no significant differences in bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, or mortality between the EL and the LL groups. However, the LL group was significantly associated with an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (p=0.037) and with a prolonged duration of the total parenteral nutrition (p=0.046) after adjusting for GA. Conclusion: Early surgical ligation for the treatment of PDA that failed to close after medical treatment or in cases contraindicated for medical treatment might be desirable to reduce the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and to alleviate feeding intolerance in preterm infants.

Purpose : The object of this study was to observe the suppressive effects of Yijintang-gamibang (YJGMB), Yijintang with Atractylodis Rhizoma, Massa Medicata Fermentata, Hordei Fructus Germiniatus, and Coptidis Rhizoma. YJGMB has been traditionally used in Korean medicine for treating various digestive diseases. We tested it on the rat reflux esophagitis (RE) induced by pylorus and forestomach ligation in rats as compared with omeprazole, a well-known proton pump inhibitor. Method : Three different dosages of YJGMB 200, 100 and 50mg/kg, were orally pretreated once a day for 28 days before pylorus and forestomach ligation. Seven groups, each of 8 rats per group were used in the study. Six hours after pylorus and forestomach ligation, changes of the stomach and esophagus lesion areas, gastric volumes, acid and pepsin outputs, invasive lesion percentages, fundic mucosa and total thicknesses were measured as histomorphometry. The results were compared with omeprazole, antioxidant and proton pump inhibitor, and 30 and 10mg/kg treated groups in which the effects on RE were already confirmed. Results : As results of pylorus and forestomach ligation, marked increases of esophageal and gastric mucosa lesion areas, gastric volumes, acid outputs, pepsin outputs were observed with histopathological changes of RE, such as hemorrhages, ulcerative lesions and edematous changes on the fundic mucosa. However, these pylorus and forestomach ligation-induced RE were dose-dependently inhibited by treatment of 200, 100 and 50mg/kg of YJGMB. YJGMB 200mg/kg showed similar protective effects as compared with 30mg/kg of omeprazole in the present study, and more favorable effects were observed in 50mg/kg of YJGMB treated rats as compared with omeprazole 10mg/kg in the present study. Conclusion : The results obtained in this study suggest that YJGMB has favorable protective effects on the RE induced by pylorus and forestomach ligation. Therefore, it is expected that YJGMB will also show favorable effects on RE corresponding well to the suggestion of traditional Korean medicine. However, more detailed mechanism studies should be conducted in future with the screening of the biological active chemical compounds in herbs.

Liver and serum rhodanese activities were determined in acute ethanol intoxicated rats with extrahepatic cholestasis induced by common bile duct ligation (CBD) to manifest the biochemical background of alcohol drinking hazard under the hepatobiliary disease. Liver cytosolic and microsomal rhodanese activities and these Vmax values in CBD ligated rats with acute ethanol intoxication were found to be decreased much more than that in CBD ligation alone. However, the difference of Km value on above hepatic enzyme was not found between the experimental groups. On the other hand, serum rhodanese activity in CBD ligated rats with acute ethanol intoxication was greater increased more than that in CBD ligation alone. These results indicate that the biosynthesis of the hepatic rhodanese decreases and the serum rhodanese activity increases in cholestasis combined with acute ethanol intoxication, reflecting damage of aggravated hapatocytic membrane. Accordingly, the resulting data supported the fact that alcoholic drinks were enzymologically harmful to the hepatobiliary disease.

Liver and serum $\beta$-D-mannosidase activities were determined in ethanol intoxicated rats with extrahepatic cholestasis induced by common bile duct ligation (CBD) to manifest the biochemical background of alcohol drinking hazard under the hepatobiliary disease. Liver $\beta$-D-mannosidase activity and its Vmax value in CBD ligated rats with chronic ethanol intoxication were found to be significantly decreased than that in CBD ligation alone. However, the difference of Km value on above hepatic enzyme was not found between the experimental groups. On the other hand, serum $\beta$-D-mannosidase activity in CBD ligated rats with chronic ethanol intoxication was increased more than that in CBD ligation alone. These results indicate that the biosynthesis of the hepatic $\beta$-D-mannosidase decreases and the serum $\beta$-D-mannosidase activity increases in cholestasis combined with chronic ehtanol intoxication, reflecting damage of aggravated hapatocytic membrane. Accordingly, the resulting data supported the fact that alcoholic drinks were enzymologically harmful to the hepatobiliary disease.

We have performed four left lung reimplantation and right pulmonary artery ligation in dogs for six months from March 1989 to September 1989 at the Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery department, Yonsei University, College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea. Excised left lungs were perfused with 200cc of 4oC cold saline at a pressure of 60cmH2O through left pulmonary artery & preserved in 4 oC cold saline for about 20 mins. Left lung reimplantation were proceeded with inferior pulmonary vein, superior pulmonary vein, left pulmonary artery and left main bronchus in order. The main pulmonary artery pr. were 39/21[31], 22/12[15], 25/9[15] and 54/17[37] mmHg each after right pulmonary artery ligation on left reimplanted dogs, Right pul a. ligations were performed 9 days, 12 days, 16 days and 19 days after left lung reimplantation. Two dogs died at 10 days 21 days, after right pul. a. ligations in left reimplanted dogs. The remaining two dogs were sacrificed at 18 days, 21 days after right pul. a. ligation in left reimplanted dogs. Autopsy findings showed narrowing of left superior pul. vein anastomotic site in two narrowing of left pulmonary artery anastomotic site in one narrowing of left sup. pul vein & pneumonia of left lung in one. In the lung transplantation, it was thought to be important that the anastomosis of pulmonary artery and especially pulmonary vein be done with particular precaution for early and late stenosis.

Tooth movement would be impeded by frictional force arised between archwire and tube, bracket or elastics in the fixed orthodontic appliances, which could be changed variably by such several factors as the contact area, normal (perpendicular) force and the condition of contact surface. There were many literatures about frictional force in the orthodontic region, but different results were obtained from little controlled research so that was very difficult in clinical application. Therefore we have reviewed comprehensively previous literatures about frictional force and thus several results were obtained as follows: 1. For use species of the orthodontic wire, frictional force was influenced mainly by surface roughness of wire in the absence of binding, while that was influenced mainly by normal force in high binding angulation. 2. For the cross-section and diameter of the wire, the contact area influenced mainly on frictional force in the absence of binding, while wire stiffness influenced mainly on frictional force in high binding angulation. 3. The greater the bracket width, the greater frictional force, and frictional force of the plastic bracket was larger than that of the metal bracket. 4. For ligation type, frictional force of the stainless steel ligation was larger than that of the elastic ligation, and frictional force was directly proportional to ligation force. 5. Variable frictional force were occured from the saliva combined with such another factors as normal force and mode of surface oxide et al.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of endometriosis and tuboperitoneal fistula in remaining tubal segments after tubal ligation. We reviewed 936 tubes which were obtained from 474 patients who received tubal reanastomosis in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Seoul National University from June, 1980 to June, 1986. The results were as follows: 1. The incidence of tuboperitoneal fistula was 9.31% of the total 936 tubes (87 tubes) and cautery was the most frequent technique of sterilization in fistula formation (15.20%). 2. The incidence of tubal endometriosis was 2.03% of the total 936 tubes (19 tubes) and cautery was the most frequent technique of sterilization in the development of tubal endometriosis (2.73%). 3. The incidence of tuboperitoneal fistula in the remaining proximal tubal segment within 4 cm was 11.25% and the incidence of endometriosis in the remaining proximal tubal segment above 4cm was 5.54%. 4. The incidence of tuboperitoneal fistula within 3 yrs after tubal ligation was 11.92% and the incidence of endometriosis over 6 yrs after tubal ligation was 5.73%.

The importance of bronchial occlusion which occurs in the natural course of tuberculosis as an inconstant but very fortunate event became obscured with the popularity of resection therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis and the resectional surgery and thoracoplasty are the standard method of surgical procedure in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. However in some cases of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the need for another surgical methods arise when standard method is not indicated under the consideration of poor pulmonary function or operative and postoperative complications such as bronchial fistula. The ligation and division of bronchus draining the involved part of the lung is one of the applicable method among the another surgical procedures. The authors experienced one case of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis who had a huge cavity in the right upper lobe and a small cavity in the superior segment accomanying with several nodular densities in the basal segment and contralateral left lung field, and treated with right upper lobectomy, ligation and division of the superior segmental bronchus and concomitant rib-resectional thoracoplasty in order to prevent postoperative bronchial fistula and to preserve maximal lung function. The postoperative course was smooth without complication regarding to bronchial ligation and division technique and the general condition has been excellent without symptoms. The postoperative sputum examination for AFB on smear and culture has been negative during the 11 month period of follow up, and X-ray of the chest including tomography demonstrated no evidence of residual cavity indicating succesful collapse of cavity.

Recurrent parotid sialocele is rare and challenging to treat. Treatment options are limited for cases of parotid sialocele that recur despite ductal ligation. This case study presents a patient who underwent wide excision of the right buccal mucosa due to squamous cell carcinoma. During the wide excision, a segment of the parotid duct was excised, and ductal ligation was performed to prevent the occurrence of a sialocele, followed by reconstruction using a folded anterolateral thigh free flap. Twenty-two days after surgery, parotid sialocele occurred despite the initial ductal ligation and subsequent ductal ligation was performed; however, the sialocele recurred. As an alternative therapeutic option, a transdermal scopolamine patch was applied for 3 weeks, with one patch used every 3 days. The results were encouraging, with complete resolution of the sialocele. A transdermal scopolamine offers a noninvasive, convenient method of treating parotid sialocele with minimal side effects. The successful outcome of this case suggests that a transdermal scopolamine can be an effective therapeutic option for recurrent parotid sialocele in conjunction with surgical treatment.
