This study is about a retrograde triple well employed in the Cell tr. of next DRAM and flash memory. triple well structure is formed deep n-well under the light p-well using MeV ion implantation. MeV P implanted deep n-well was observed to show greatly improved characteristics of electrical isolation and soft error. Junction leakage current, however, showed a critical behavior as a function of implantation and annealing conditions. {311} defects were observed to be responsible for the leakage current. {311} defects were generated near the R$\sub$p/ (projected range) region and grown upward to the surface during annealing. This is study on the defect behavior in device region as a function of implantation and annealing conditions.

Retrograde left cardioangiographic studies using Amplatz spring coil guide catheter were carried out in 30 cases of acquired mitral valvular diseases. Of these 12 cases were compatible with the clinical diagnosis which were made pre-angiocardiographically. Eighteen out of 30 cases were diagnosed as pure mitral stenosis or mitral insufficiency which had been clinically diagnosed as mitral stenoinsufficiency or mitral stenosis with aortic insufficiency. The rate of difference is 60%. Twenty-five cases or 83% of all cases were operated. Of these 6 cases, the degree of regurgitation through the mitral valves were able to be evaluated cardioangiography and were confirmed by open heart operation. The retrograde left cardioangiography is considered to be a useful tool in conclusive dianosis of clinically equivocal mitral valvular diseases.

It is expected that the stent graft will become an alternative method for treating aortic diseases or reducing the extent of surgery; therefore, thoracic endovascular aortic repair has widened its indications. However, it can have rare but serious complications such as paraplegia and retrograde type A aortic dissection. Here, we report a surgical repair of retrograde type A aortic dissection that was performed after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an invasive endoscopic technique that has many diagnostic and therapeutic implications. It is a procedure with small but significant life-threatening complications. To ensure the best possible care, minimize complications, and improve the quality of health care, a constant review of the performance of the operator using ideal benchmark standards is needed. Hence, quality indicators are necessary. The American and European Societies of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy have provided guidelines on quality measures for ERCP, which describe the skills to be developed and training to be implemented in performing quality ERCP. These guidelines have divided the indicators into pre-procedure, intraprocedural, and post-procedure measures. The focus of this article was to review the quality indicators of ERCP.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of root resection and retrograde cavity preparation methods on the apical leakage in endodontic surgery. To investigate the effect of various root resection and retrograde cavity preparation methods on the apical leakage, 71 roots of extracted human maxillary anterior teeth and 44 mesiobuccal roots of extracted human maxillary first molars were used. Root canals of the all the specimens were prepared with step-back technique and filled with gutta-percha by lateral condensation method. Three millimeters of each root was resected at a 45 degree angle or perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth according to the groups. Retrograde cavities were prepared with ultrasonic instruments or a slow-speed round bur, and occlusal access cavities were filled with zinc oxide eugenol cement. Three coats of clear nail polish were placed on the lateral and coronal surfaces of the specimens except the apical cut one millimeter. All the specimens were immerged in 2% methylene blue solution for 7 days in an incubator at $37^{\circ}C$. The teeth were dissolved in 14 ml of 35% nitric acid solution and the dye present within the root canal system was returned to solution. The leakage of dye was quantitatively measured via spectrophotometric method. The obtained data were analysed statistically using two-way ANOVA and Duncans Multiple Range Test. The results were as follows: 1. No statistically significant difference was observed between ultrasonic retrograde cavity preparation method and slow-speed round bur technique, without apical bevel (p>0.05). 2. Ultrasonic retrograde preparation method showed significantly less apical leakage than slow-speed round bur technique, with bevel (p<0.0001). 3. No statistically significant difference was found between beveled resected root surface and non-beveled resected root surface, with ultrasonic technique (p>0.05). 4. Non-beveled resected root surface showed significantly less apical leakage than beveled resected root surface, with slow-speed round bur technique (p<0.0001). 5. No statistically significant difference in apical leakage was found between the group of retrograde cavity prepared parallel to the long axis of the tooth and the group of one prepared perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth (p>0.05). 6. Regarding isthmus preparation, ultrasonic retrograde preparation method showed significantly less apical leakage than slow-speed round bur technique, in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molar, without bevel (p<0.0001).

Surgical treatment of aneurysm or dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch still poses one of the most complicated technical and tactical challenges in surgery. The use of total circulatory arrest[TCA] with profound hypothermia in the surgical treatment of aneurysmal dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch has been reported as popular surgical methods. However, the safe period of prolonged circulatory arrest with hypothermia remains controversial and ischemic damage to the central nervous system and uncontrollable perioperative bleeding have been the major problem. We have found profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion via the superior vena cava to achieve cerebral protection. We experiment the aortic anastomosis in 7 adult mongrel dogs, using profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion[RGCP] via superior vena cava. We also studied the extent of cerebral protection using above surgical methods, by gas analysis of retrograde cerebral perfusion blood and returned blood of aortic arch, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative electroencephalography and microscopic findings of brain tissue. The results were as follows: 1. The cooling time ranged from 15 minutes to 24 minutes[19.71$\pm$ 3.20 minutes] ; Aorta cross clamp time ranged from 70 minutes to 89 minutes[79.86 $\pm$ 7.54 minutes] ; Rewarming time ranged from 35 minutes to 47 minutes[42.86$\pm$ 4.30 minutes] ; The extracorporeal circulation time ranged from 118 minutes to 140 minutes[128.43$\pm$ 8.98 minutes] [Table 2]. 2. The oxygen content in the oxygenated blood after RGCP was 12.66$\pm$ 1.25 ml/dl. At 5 minutes after the initiation of RGCP, the oxygen content of returnedlood was 7.58$\pm$ 0.21 ml/dl, and at 15 minutes 7.35$\pm$ 0.17 ml/dl, at 30 minutes 7.20$\pm$ 0.19 ml/dl, at 60 minutes 6.63$\pm$ 0.14 ml/dl [Table 3]. 3. Intraoperative electroencephalographic finding revealed low amplitude potential during hypothermia, and no electrical impulse throughout the period of circulatory arrest and RGCP. Electrical activity appeared after reperfusion, and the electroencephalographic reading also recovered rapidly as body temperature returned to normal [Fig. 2]. 4. The microscopic finding of brain tissue showed widening of the interfibrillar spaces. But there was no evidence of tissue necrosis or hemorrhage [Fig. 3]. We concluded the retrograde cerebral perfusion during hypothermic circulatory arrest is a simplified technique that may have a excellent brain protection.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of cavity preparation and to determine the incidence of tooth crack when root-end retrograde cavity preparation was done with ultrasonics. 91 distobuccal root-ends of extracted human maxillary first molars were cut by 3 mm perpendicularly to the long axis of tooth using a slow speed diamond saw, retrocavities were prepared using a slow-speed no. 2 round bur as controls, and stainless steel ultrasonic tips of power settings of 1 through 10 as experimentals. Time consumed and the number of strokes used for the cavity preparation were measured and evaluated, and the incidence of tooth cracks was observed under a stereomicroscope. The results were as follows : For the retrograde cavity preparation, time and number of strokes used were decreased as the ultrasonic power setting increased (p<0.001). High power setting of ultrasonics induced significantly more tooth cracks than did the slow-speed bur or low- and medium power setting of ultrasonics (p<0.05). Teeth with previous crack induced significantly more tooth cracks than those without previous one when high power setting of ultrasonics were used for the retrograde cavity preparation (p<0.001). Teeth with initial apical canal size of no. 10 induced significantly more crack than did those with size of no. 15 when low power setting of ultrasonics were used for the retrograde cavity preparation (p<0.05).
