Introduction: As dental implant surgery is becoming increasingly popular, it has become one of the causes for the hypesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve, along with other surgical procedures, such as a third molar extraction. In addition, it tends to cause legal problems between the operator and patient. Therefore, there must be a proper method that is reliable, objective and economical to assess the nerve impairment. For this reason, an attempt was made to use an Electric Pulp Tester to assess inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients were tested. Electric pulp testing of the lower jaw skin was performed at the three different times, before anesthesia, at the onset of sensory changes and after 15 minutes waiting from the onset, and on the 10 points of the chin, which produced 10 sections on the skin area. Results: Twenty seven patients (90%) could feel the electric stimulus on the chin at all 10 points before local anesthesia and the scores represent the statistical differences between the right and left points except R4 and L4. After anesthesia, the difference between the right and left points (L3-R3, L4-R4, L5-R5) increased significantly with time but two points (L2, R2) showed no significant difference. The scores on the left chin (L3, L4, L5) increased, whereas the other points (R1-R5, L1, L2) showed no significant differences. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential clinical use of an electric pulp tester for an assessment of inferior alveolar nerve impairment.

We investigated 248 patients who were diagnosed as malignant tumor in the department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery of Kyungpook National University from 1999 to 2006, and following results were obtained. 1. Among 248 patients who have malignant tumor, 164 were men and 84 were women, which made the ratio of male to female 1.95:1. 2. The average age of oral cancer patients was 58.3. 3. As of the primary origin site, lower alveolus and gingiva were the greatest with 70 cases(28.2%), followed by tongue(l6.9%), upper alveolus and gingiva(14.9%), palate(13.7%), mouth floor(9.7%), buccal mucosa(4.8%), retromolar trigone(4.4%), Mx. & Mn. bone(3.2%) and lip(2.8%). 4. As of histologic distribution, squamous cell carcinoma was the greatest with 170 cases(68.6%), followed by sarcoma with 17 cases(6.9%), adenoid cystic carcinoma with 17 cases(6.9%), malignant lymphoma with 15 cases(6.0%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma with 13 cases(5.2%), metastatic carcinoma with 6 cases(2.4%) and malignant melanoma with 4 cases(1.6%). 5. Period between recognition of the symptom and the first visit to hospital was less than 3 months for 58.9% of the patients, and more than 3 months for 41% of the patients. 6. Investigation of whether the patients drink or smoke revealed that the number of non-smoking and non-drinking patients was 63 among 170 patients(37.0%) that were able to investigate. The number of patients who smoke only was 29(17.1%) and both drinking and smoking patients were 78(45.9%). 7. In clinical stage order, Stage IV(61.7%) was found th be the largest, followed by stage I(17.2%), stage II(13%) and stage III(7.8%). 8. The 5-year survival rate of the entire oral cancer patients appeared to be 57.7%. The survival rate was higher in younger group and women had higher survival rate but there was no statistical significance to this. In the aspect of stage, the survival rate was Stage I, Stage II, Stage IV and Stage III in decreasing order. The order according to T classification was the same. In N classification, patients with N0 had the highest survival rate and the survival rate decreased in the order of N1 and N2. Survival rate was especially low in patients with N2.

전형적 페닐케톤뇨증에서 식이 요법을 조기에 실시하지 않으면 생후 1세경에는 지능 지수가 50이하로 심한 정신지체가 된다고 알려져 있으나, 일부에서는 심한 정신 지체를 보이지 않기도 한다. 그 기전은 확실치 않으나 혈장에서보다는 뇌에서의 페닐알라닌 수치와 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되고 있다. 또한 페닐케톤뇨증 여성이 임신을 한 후 식이조절에 실패하게 되면 증가된 혈중 페닐알라닌이 태아에 영향을 주어 출생 후 저체중, 소두증, 선천성 심질환, 발달 지연, 지능 저하, 등이 올 수 있다. 따라서 전체 임신 기간 중 산모의 혈장 내 페닐알라닌을 6 mg/dL 미만으로 유지하도록 조절하여야 한다. 본 증례의 산모는 정신 지체는 아니었으므로, 본인이 페닐케톤뇨증 환자인지 모르고 지내다가 두 자녀를 출산하였다. 첫째아이는 4세경에 타병원에서 페닐케톤뇨증으로 진단받았으며, 저출생체중과 구개열의 수술병력 및 소두증이 있었다. 둘째아이는 페닐케톤뇨증은 아니었으나, 저출생체중과 소두증, 및 발달 지연을 보이고 있다. PAH유전자 분석에서 환아의 어머니는 R243Q/Y325X, 환아의 언니는 Y325X/P407S로 compound heterozygotes 임을 확인하였다. 환아의 아버지와 환아는 각각 P407S/- 및 R243Q/-를 가진 heterozygous 보인자이었다. 따라서 페닐케톤뇨증 환자 중 일부에서는 심한 정신 지체는 없이 일상적인 생활을 하는 경우도 있으므로, 출생아에서 원인이 밝혀지지 않는 저체중, 소두증, 지능 발달 지연 등이 있을 때는 가족력을 확인해 볼 필요가 있다.

The infection status of mullets Mugil cephalus (n = 139) and gobies (n = 35) Acanthogobius fIavimanus with metacercariae of Heterophyes nocens and Pygidiopsis summa was examined in 11 western, southern, and eastern coastal areas of the Republic of Korea, using a digestion technique. Heterophyid metacercariae were highly prevalent in mullets from western and southern coastal areas; Shinan-gun (100% for H. nocens and 100% for P. summa), Muan-gun (93% and 100%), Buan-gun (42% and 75%), Seocheon-gun (73% and 53%), Ganghwa-gun (47% and 100%), Sacheon-shi (47% and 77%), and Gangjin-gun (50% and 70%, respectively). Only 1 (10%) of 10 mullets from an eastern coastal area, i.e., Donghae-shi, was positive for P. summa metacercariae. Metacercarial densities were the highest in the trunk of mullets for H. nocens and the gill for P. summa. Gobies from Muan-gun were positive for H. nocens (40%) and P. summa metacercariae (40%), and gobies from Seocheon-gun revealed H. nocens metacercariae (20%). The metacercarial density was remarkably higher in mullets than in gobies. The results revealed that H. nocens and P. summa metacercariae are prevalent in mullets and gobies from coastal areas of the Republic of Korea, and the prevalence and intensity of infection vary according to geographical locality.

1998년 수원 근교에서 채집한 전형적인 모자이크 병징을 나타내는 수국(Hydragea macrophylla for. otaksa)으로부터 CMV를 분리하고, Hm-CMV라 명명하였다. 기주실험, 물리적 실험, 혈청학적 성질, RNA와 coat protein의 성질, RT-PCR 및 RAP-PCR 분석을 통하여 Hm-CMV의 특성을 분석하였다. 12종의 CMV 지표식물에서 실시한 기주반응실험의 결과, 지금까지 보고된 CMV 계통들의 반응과 특징적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. Hm-CMV의 물리적 성질은 내열성에서 6$0^{\circ}C$를 보여 기존 CMV들 보다 낮았다. 혈청학적으로 Hm-CMV는 Y-CMV와 융합하는 subgroup I CMV로 분석되었다. SDS-PAGE로부터에 Hm-CMV의 외피단백질은 28 kDa의 band가 확인되었으며, 4종의 게놈 RNA는 Y-CMV와 같은 분자량을 나타냈으나, 위성 RNA는 존재하지 않았다. 수국의 이병엽에서 분리한 dsRNA의 분석 결과도 Y-CMV와 같은 패턴을 보였다. Hm-CMV의 외피단백질유전자에 대한 RT-PCR 분석 결과, 예상된 분자크기의 DNA 증폭이 인정되었으며, PCR 산물을 이용한 EcoR I 및 Msp I을 처리한 결과는 subgroup I CMV의 특성을 나타냈다. 그런, RAP-PCR의 결과, Hm-CMV는 subgroup I내의 다른 계통들과 구분되었다.

Background The bone graft for the alveolar cleft has been accepted as one of the essential treatments for cleft lip patients. Precise preoperative measurement of the architecture and size of the bone defect in alveolar cleft has been considered helpful for increasing the success rate of bone grafting because those features may vary with the cleft type. Recently, some studies have reported on the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) assessment of alveolar bone defect; however, no study on the possible implication of the cleft type on the difference between the presumed and actual value has been conducted yet. We aimed to evaluate the clinical predictability of such measurement using 3D CT assessment according to the cleft type. Methods The study consisted of 47 pediatric patients. The subjects were divided according to the cleft type. CT was performed before the graft operation and assessed using image analysis software. The statistical significance of the difference between the preoperative estimation and intraoperative measurement was analyzed. Results The difference between the preoperative and intraoperative values were $-0.1{\pm}0.3cm^3$ (P=0.084). There was no significant intergroup difference, but the groups with a cleft palate showed a significant difference of $-0.2{\pm}0.3cm^3$ (P<0.05). Conclusions Assessment of the alveolar cleft volume using 3D CT scan data and image analysis software can help in selecting the optimal graft procedure and extracting the correct volume of cancellous bone for grafting. Considering the cleft type, it would be helpful to extract an additional volume of $0.2cm^3$ in the presence of a cleft palate.

피로균열 진전시 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 따른 음향방출 특성을 규명하고자 구조용 알루미늄 2024-T4 와 6061-T6 재료에 대해 소형인장 시편에서의 피로균열 진전시 발생되는 AE 특성을 관찰하였으며, 기존의 AE파라미터 분석은 물론 재료의 파단면 분석을 통해 재료특성에 따른 AE 발생거동 사이의 관계를 논의하였다. 대부분의 음향방출 신호는 균열이 열리기 시작하는 위상과 균열이 완전히 닫히는 위상에서 많이 발생되었으며 하중을 최대로 받는 균열 완전 열림에서는 전반적으로 적게 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재료에 따라서 균열 완전 열렴 부분에서 발생하는 음향방출 특성은 달라졌으나 각 피로 사이클 주파수 변화 (0.1, 0.2, 1.0Hz)에 따른 결과에서는 통일 재료일 경우 피로 사이클 주파수가 변화하더라도 각 사이클에서의 AE hit 발생 경향용 비슷하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 균열 열림 및 닫힘시 재료 의 미세조직과 기계적 특성인 연장강도와 항복강도에 따라 AE 특성이 달라질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
