  • One of the most important issues in post-genome era is identifying functions of genes and understanding the interaction among them. Such interactions from complex biochemical pathways, which are very useful to understand the organism system. We present an integrated biochemical pathway database system with a set of software tools for reconstruction, visualization, and simulation of the pathways from the database. The novel features of the presented system include: (a) automatic integration of the heterogeneous biochemical pathway databases, (b) gene ontology for high quality of database in the integration and query (c) various biochemical simulations on the pathway database, (d) dynamic pathway reconstruction for the gene list or sequence data, (e) graphical tools which enable users to view the reconstructed pathways in a dynamic form, (f) importing/exporting SBML documents, a data exchange standard for systems biology.

  • 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.

  • Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of four patients receiving stock Biomet TMJ prosthesis for reconstruction of the TMJs. Methods: TMJ reconstruction with stock Biomet TMJ prosthesis was performed in four patients who had joint damages by trauma, tumor, resorption, and ankylosis, which represent the indications of alloplastic prosthesis. Results: Loss of condyle from trauma and resorption of joint are good indications for prosthesis, but the patients should be informed about limitation of jaw movement. In case of structural damage of TMJ by tumor, tumor recurrence should be considered before planning TMJ reconstruction. Considering heterotopic bone formation in case of ankylosis, periodic follow-up and special surgical technique are required. Conclusions: Given careful treatment planning and understanding the functional limitation of TMJ prosthesis, alloplastic prosthesis is a safe and effective management option for the reconstruction of TMJs.

  • Background: The scalp is an important functional and aesthetic structure that protects the cranial bone. Due to its inelastic characteristics, soft-tissue defects of the scalp make reconstruction surgery difficult. This study aims to provide an improved scalp reconstruction decision making algorithm for surgeons. Methods: This study examined patients who underwent scalp reconstruction within the last 10 years. The study evaluated several factors that surgeons use to select a given reconstruction method such as etiology, defect location, size, depth, and complications. An algorithmic approach was then suggested based on an analysis of these factors. Results: Ninety-four patients were selected in total and 98 cases, including revision surgery, were performed for scalp reconstruction. Scalp reconstruction was performed by primary closure (36.73%), skin graft (27.55%), local flap (17.34%), pedicled regional flap (15.30%), and free flap (3.06%). The ratio of primary closure to more complex procedure on loose scalps (51.11%) was significantly higher than on tight scalps (24.52%) (p=0.011). The choice of scalp reconstruction method was affected significantly by the defect size (R=0.479, p<0.001) and depth (p<0.001). There were five major complications which were three cases of flap necrosis and two cases of skin necrosis. Hematoma was the most common of the 29 minor complications reported, followed by skin necrosis. Conclusion: There are multiple factors affecting the choice of scalp reconstruction method. We suggest an algorithm based on 10 years of experience that will help surgeons establish successful surgical management for their patients.

  • The public rental housing policy aims to provide the housing to the vulnerable class who do not have enough credit to own houses. The Korean government introduced new policies for housing supply to improve the availability of new houses. However, it is difficult to expand the supply because of the accumulated deficit of public rental housing. In this study, the economic feasibility of long-term public rental housing reconstruction projects was examined to ensure the economic and sustainable growth of public rental housing. The research found that the compensation for the accumulated deficit is needed. Also the research analyzed and identified the factors affecting the economic feasibility of reconstruction projects. The significant factors identified in this research are: the supply price of pre-sale/rental housing in the reconstruction project, total cost of the reconstruction project, and total floor area of the reconstruction project. According to the analysis results, it is necessary to increase the rent of existing long-term public rental housing, expand the government subsidy, increase the supply price of pre-sale/rental housing, and reduce the total project cost. However, there are limitations. For example, the fluctuations of construction market, residents' burden of housing costs, and the limit of the budget of the public housing authority. The increasing total Floor Area Ratio(FAR) limitation of the reconstruction project would be the realistic solution to the problem because it gives incentives to the reconstruction project.

  • A new and modified neural network model Is proposed for CT image reconstruction from four projection directions only. The model uses the Resilient Back-Propagation (Rprop) algorithm, which is derived from the original Back-Propagation, for adaptation of its weights. In addition to the error in projection directions of the image being reconstructed, the proposed network makes use of errors in pixels between an image which passed the median filter and the reconstructed one. Improved reconstruction was obtained, and the proposed method was found to be very effective in CT image reconstruction when the given number of projection directions is very limited.

  • Background: Head or scalp injury is a life-threatening and typically accidental human injury. Most medical departments require immediate medical treatment and proper treatment with specialized medical personnel and facilities. However, in low-resource environments, such as the rural region of West Africa, the authors have treated emergency trauma patients and provided immediate treatment despite lack of resources. Case presentation: We reviewed three cases of scalp injury patients, with representative clinical information, and used these cases to outline feedback on scalp trauma treatment based on the specialty knowledge of general and emergency surgeon. Conclusions: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are medical specialists that can immediately diagnose and treat these scalp injuries based on their medical knowledge and experience with the maxillofacial region.

  • Hypopharyngeal reconstruction is a surgically challenging procedure, and postoperative management is important due to a high rate of complications following surgery. In particular, stricture and fistula formation is the most common long-term postoperative complication. Through systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 studies, a significant radiation effect of stricture and fistula formation was found in patients who underwent hypopharyngeal reconstruction. The perioperative radiation must be seen as a critical factor for stricture and fistula formation in hypopharyngeal reconstruction.

  • In recent decades, tissue engineering advances have led to more skin substitutes becoming available. Acellular dermal matrix, initially developed for use in the treatment of full-thickness burns, is made by removing the cellular components from the dermis collected from donated bodies or animals. This class of scaffold is used to replace skin and soft tissue deficiencies in a variety of fields, including breast reconstruction, abdominal wall reconstruction, and burn treatment. Herein, we provide a detailed review of the clinical applications of acellular dermal matrix.
