A very uncommon tumor, primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC), is a carcinoma arising within the jaw. The definite diagnosis of PIOC is often difficult as the lesion must be distinguished from alveolar carcinoma that may invade the bone from the overlying soft tissues or from the tumors that have metastasized to the jaw from a distant site. A case of PIOC arising in the mandible is presented. The clinical, radiologic, and histologic features are described. This rare lesion should be considered in any differential diagnosis of a jaw radiolucency.

Recently, there has been a rapid increase of interest in u-Health systems or instruments. The importance of testbeds has been discussed deeply also. However, beyond laboratory or ward environments, testbeds covering metropolitan area cannot be found easily. Moreover, there has been few papers which discuss the results of testbed operations for various instruments in different age groups. In this paper, the results of testbed which operated in Daegu metropolitan area are discussed and improvement directions to strengthen the competitiveness are proposed using user analysis. In particular, the results of trial services using the u-Life support instruments (medication reminder, falling safety phone, bio-patch and shirts, etc) for super aging societies in the near future are discussed.

It is difficult to take intraoral radiographs in some patients who are intolerable to place the film in their mouth. For these patients, Newman and Friedman recommended a new technique of extraoral film placement. Here we report various cases that diagnostic imaging was performed in patients using the extraoral periapical technique. This technique was used to obtain the radiographs for the patients with severe gag reflex, pediatric dental patients, and patients with restricted mouth opening. This technique can be recommended as an alternative to conventional intraoral periapical technique in cases where intraoral film placement is difficult to achieve.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is an extremely rare odontogenic tumor composed of proliferating ectodermal and mesenchymal components of odontogenic tissue, containing hard tooth structure. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults. The mandibular molar-ramus area is the most frequently observed location, presenting radiographically as a well-circumscribed and radiolucent-radiopaque tumor. A case involving a 24-year-old woman presenting with a large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the posterior mandible is reported. This case is of radiologic interest because two distinct calcification patterns were observed.

We investigated whether poly-L-histidine (PLH) significantly affect mucin release from cultured airway epithelial cells. Confluent primary hamster tracheal surface epithelial (HTSE) cells were metabolically radiolabeled with $^$^3H$$glucosamine for 24 hr and chased for 30 min in the presence of PLH to assess the effect on $^3H$-mucin release. PLH 9,850 and PLH 6,700 specifically inhibit mucin release from airway goblet cells without significant cytotoxicity. This finding suggests that poly-L-histidine might function as an airway mucoregulative agent.

We examined whether indomethacin, noscapine, coumarin, uridine and betaine affect airway mucin production induced by EGF or TNF-${\alpha}$ from NCI-H292 cells. Cells were pretreated with each agent for 30 min and then stimulated with EGF or TNF-${\alpha}$ for 24 h. Of the five compounds, coumarin suppressed airway mucin production induced by EGF or TNF-${\alpha}$. However, indomethacin suppressed airway mucin production induced by EGF. This result suggests that coumarin and indomethacin can regulate the production of mucin induced by EGF, by directly acting on airway epithelial cells.

Obesity which causing many physical and psychological problems is difficult to treatment. The purpose study was investigate relationships between weight, height, body mass index (BMI) and BMD of according to the low, normal, over, obesity, high group. According to obesity index, each group was divided into five proup. Study subjects were man(n=135) and woman(n=145). We checked the BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spine by using dual energy X-ray bone densitometry. Weight was positively correlation with height (p<0.05) by Pearson's correlation matrix. There was a significant difference in BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spine between four(low, normal, over, obesity) groups except for high obesity groul.

Carrier mobility was measured using time-of-flight (TOF) measurements to investigate the transport properties of holes and electrons in stabilized a-Se film. A laser beam with pulse duration of 5 ns and wavelength of 350 nm was illuminated on the surface of a-Se with thickness of $400\;{\mu}m$. The measured transit times of hole and electron were about $8.73\;{\mu}s\;and\;229.17\;{\mu}s$, respectively. The experimental results showed that the hole and electron drifting mobility were $0.04584\;cm^2V^{-1}S^{-1}\;and\;0.00174\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}\;at\;10\;V/{\mu}m$.

The transport property of stabilized amorphous selenium typical of the material used in direct conversion x-ray imaging devices was studied using the moving photo-carrier grating (MPG) technique and time-of-flight (TOF) measurements. For MPG measurement, the electron and hole mobility, and recombination lifetime of a-Se films with arsenic (As) additions have been obtained. For TOF measurement, a laser beam with pulse duration of 5ns and wavelength of 350 nm was illuminated on the surface of a-Se with thickness of $400{\mu}m$.

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by hyperostosis of the craniofacial bones and flared metaphyses of the long bones. Although some reports have described the dentomaxillofacial characteristics of CMD, including increased density of the jaw, malocclusion, and delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, only a few studies have reported the distinct imaging features of CMD on panoramic radiography. This report presents 2 cases of confirmed CMD patients with an emphasis on panoramic imaging features. The patients' images revealed hyperostosis and sclerosis of the maxilla and mandibular alveolar bone, but there was no change in the mandibular basal bone. In both cases, the mandibular condyle heads exhibited a short clubbed shape with hyperplasia of the coronoid process. For patients without clear otorhinolaryngological symptoms, common radiologic features of CMD could be visualized by routinely-taken panoramic radiographs, and further medical examinations and treatment can be recommended.
