Calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC) is comparatively rare in occurrence. COC represents about 1% of jaw cysts, and although it may occur in soft tissue, it is most commonly found within bone. Both the intraosseous and extraosseous forms occur with about equal frequency in the maxilla and mandible, mainly in the incisor and canine areas The most notable features of this pathologic entity are histopathological and include a cyst lining demonstrating characteristic "ghost" epithelial cells with a propensity to calcify and the occasional association of this finding with certain odontogenic tumors including the odontoma and the ameloblastoma. In this case, COC was associated with anterior wall of the maxillary sinus which appeared in the anterior maxilla of 64-year-old woman, was reported. We report that the clinical experience of COC with review of literatures.

The incidence of aspergillosis infections in the maxillary sinus has increased recently, because of overuse of antibiotics, steroids, anticancer agents, immunosuppressant, antimetabollites, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The clinical features of maxillary sinus aspergillosis include pain, swelling and foul odor nasal excretion. This needs to be differentiated from bacterial maxillary sinusitis, and surgical treatment with antifungal agents are suggested. Recently, we treated two patients with maxillary sinus aspergillosis surgically (Caldwell Luc operation) and with antifungal agents(itraconazole). The results were satisfactory so we report these cases with literature review.

As the demand for smart phone user is rapidly increasing in recent years, the development of new mobile communication system which provides more improved quality compared to existing 3G standard is highly requested. In this point, the long-term evolution (LTE) system, which was being developed in mid of 2000's, has attracted a considerable attention. The LTE has been developed continuously to result a release 10 which is called as LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) in 2010. Among various features in LTE-A, the multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) design is expected to give better quality for throughput, spectral efficiency, and latency. In this paper, we first review the development process from LTE to LTE-A. We also provide the overview of design challenges and specific solutions for MU-MIMO systems developed in LTE-Advanced standard.

POEMS syndrome is a multisystem disorder associated with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, a monoclonal protein(M-protein), and skin change. Recently we have had the opportunity to attend one patient with clinical features similar to this syndrome. He was a 46-year-old man who had a progressive polyneuropathy, swallowing difficulty, hepatosplenomegaly, hypothyroidism, IgA ${\lambda}type$ monoclonal gammapathy, specific skin change and ascites. His symptoms such as low extrimity pain and weakness, swallowing difficulty were improved by high-dose 7S-IgG. Thus, we report a case with a review of the literature.

We review recent observational results on early type galaxies obtained with high spatial resolution Chandra data. With its unprecedented high spatial resolution, Chandra reveals many intriguing features in early type galaxies which were not identified with the previous X-ray missions. In particular, various fine structures of the hot ISM in early type galaxies are detected, for example, X-ray cavities which are spatially coincident with radio jets/lobes, indicating the interaction between the hot ISM and radio jets. Also point sources (mostly LMXBs) are individually resolved down to Lx = a few x $10^{37}\;erg\;sec^{-1}$ and it is for the first time possible to unequivocally investigate their properties and the X-ray luminosity function. After correcting for incompleteness, the XLF of LMXBs is well reproduced by a single power law with a slope of -1.0 - -1.5, which is in contrast to the previous report on the existence of the XLF break at Lx, Eddington = 2 x $10^{38}\;erg\;sec^{-1}$ (i.e., Eddington luminosity of a neutron star binary). Carefully considering both detected and undetected, hidden populations of point sources we further discuss the XLF of LMXBs and the metal abundance of the hot ISM and their impact on the properties of early type galaxies.

The Milky Way did not form in isolation, but is the product of a complex evolution of generations of mergers, collapses, star formation, supernovae and collisional heating, radiative and collisional cooling, and ejected nucleosynthesis. Moreover, all of this occurs in the context of the cosmic expansion, the formation of cosmic filaments, dark-matter haloes, spiral density waves, and emerging dark energy. This paper summarizes a review of recent attempts to reconstruct this complex evolution. We compare simulated properties with various observed properties of the Local Group. Among the generic features of simulated systems is the tendency for galactic halos to form within the dark matter filaments that define a supergalactic plane. Gravitational interaction along this structure leads to a streaming flow toward the two dominant galaxies in the cluster. We analyze this alignment and streaming flow and compare with the observed properties of Local-Group galaxies. Our comparison with Local Group properties suggests that some dwarf galaxies in the Local Group are part of a local streaming flow. These simulations also suggest that a significant fraction of the Galactic halo formed at large distances and arrived later along these streaming flows.

This study is on the characteristics of gloves in the modern fashion and has the purpose to review the style and the feature of gloves coordinated with clothes variously. The study started firstly with reviewing the related literature for the information of the origin, the process of development and the sort of gloves and then verified the results with photographs in the fashion magazines and collections at home and abroad since 1990s. The first characteristic is utility. Lining and covered materials use the materials excellent for keeping warm as the original purpose of wearing gloves is to protect hands against cold weather. It is demonstrated in the fashion collections that coordinating sieves appeals more often in fall-winter season than in spring-summer season. The second is sense of fashion. Gloves are normally coordinated with same materials and colors of clothes. But, gloves could create infinite varieties, make sufficient images through stressing splendid colors on achromatic colored clothes, shaping unique styles, transforming with various materials and ornaments. The last is sense of deconstruction. Gloves are transformed as a sort of clothes beyond the original use. Gloves are coordinated transcending the conventional thoughts, which makes it possible that Stoves appear in summer season, not in winter. Coordinating gloves appears free and unique through atypical formation.

We report a case of actinomycotic infection in epiglottis. Actinomycosis in the head and neck area is relatively rare but extremely rare in the larynx. A 63-year old man presented with continuous discomfort of the throat while swallowing. He had a history of oral injury caused by a fish bone a few weeks prior. Upon Examination with a flexible laryngoscope, a whitish round mass was noted at the lingual surface of the epiglottis. Under local anesthesia, a punch biopsy was performed and showed the typical features of actinomycosis. The mass was removed using a Diode laser under suspension laryngoscope. Additive oral antibiotic therapy was done for 2 weeks. No definite recurrence was noted at the operation site and the patient is now free of disease.

Supervised learnmg 01 recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is discussed. First, we review the present state of art, featuring their major properties in contrast of those of the multilayer neural networks. Then, we concisely describe one of the most practical learning algorithms, i.e. backpropagation through time. Revising the basic formulation of the learning algorithms, we derive a general formula to solve for the exact solution(s) of the whole connection weights w of RNNs. On this basis we introduce a novel interpretation of the supervised learning. Namely, we define a multidimensional Euclidean space, by assigning the cost function E(w) and every component of w to each coordinate axis. Since E=E(w) turns up as a hyper surface in this space, we refer to the surface as learning surface. We see that topological features of the learning surface are valleys and hills. Finally, after explicating that the numerical procedures of learning are equivalent to descending slopes of the learning surface along the steepest gradient, we show that a minimal value of E(w) is the intersection of curved valleys.
