Deletions of 14q including band 14q32.33 are uncommon. Patients with terminal deletions of chromosome 14 usually share a number of clinical features. By molecular techniques (array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we identified a young girl with 0.3 Mb terminal 14q32.33 deletion. Review of the nine cases with pure terminal 14q32.3 deletions described to date documented that our observation is the smallest terminal 14q deletion ever reported. The phenotype of our patient is much less severe than the phenotypes of the patients reported previously. We report our experience in examining the clinical, behavioral, and cognitive findings in a 5-year-old girl studied with chromosomal microarray hybridization and reviewed previously reported patients with 14q32 deletions.

This study aims to shed light on the diversity and complexity of design represented through modern fashion and to identify growth opportunities for globalizing and modernizing traditional clothing designs. To this end, formative trends and aesthetic characteristics of $21^{st}$ century fashion were analyzed, with an emphasis on Japanism reflected in the works of Western designers. The research methodology consisted of an analysis as well as a literature review. A total of 217 designs with Japanism characteristics were identified from the 2001 S/S collection to the 2011 S/S collection in Paris, Milano, New York, and London, and these were analyzed in terms of image, color details, pattern, and accessories. The research findings with regard to the characteristics of modern fashion designs that reflect Japanism were as follows. First, sensuality was projected by highlighting the erotic elements of Japanese clothing. Second, the underlying principles, styles, and elements of Japan's traditional clothing were embodied in a cross-cultural and eclectic manner that blurred the boundaries between styles by mix-and- matching the traditional and the contemporary, the East and the West, and different styles. Third, a variety of patterns, colors, accessories, and design techniques associated with Japanese traditional clothing played a critical role in creating flamboyant and decorative images in contemporary fashion. Fourth, the overlapping of the kimono style, the flat design that accentuates body curves, and the layered style has created a beautifully free-form fashion that demonstrates non-structural features.

With the advent of Big data era unleashed by tremendous increase of structured and unstructured data, a library needs an effective method to store, manage and preserve various information resources. Also, needs of collaboration of libraries are continuously increased in digital environment. As an effective method to handle the changes and challenges in libraries, interest on cloud computing is growing more and more. This study aims to propose a method to introduce cloud computing in libraries. To achieve the goals, this study performed the literature review to analyze problems of existing library systems. Also, this study proposed considerations, expectations, service scenario, phased strategy to introduce cloud computing in libraries. Based on the results extracted from cases that libraries have introduced cloud computing-based systems, this study proposed introduction strategy and specific applying areas in library works as considered features of cloud computing models. The proposed phased strategy and service scenario may reduce time and effort in the process of introduction of cloud computing and maximize the effect of cloud computing.

Geology and stromatolite fossil localities of Socheong Island are reviewed on the basis of previous studies and recent field survey. A new fossil locality of stromatolites which are very well preserved is recognized in Bunam area, northeast of Socheong Island. An outcrop composed of sandstone and shale alternations which exhibit well-developed laminations and folds is also found in the east of the Socheong harbor, and it is regarded as one of the symbolic features of the geology in Socheong Island. Stromatolite fossil localities of Socheong Island contains diverse and well-preserved Late Proterozoic stromatolites which are correlated with those from the Mukchon and Myoraksan series of the Sangwon System and diverse sedimentary structures such as ripple marks, desiccation cracks, and raindrop imprints. Stromatolites of Socheong Island, the oldest fossil Natural Monument of Korea, should be preserved at the national level, and continued intensive research must be conducted.

Elongation of the styloid process (styloid syndrome, Eagle's Syndrome) is named after Eagle who insisted the styloid process as a cause of pain but distinguishable from the glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Eagle's syndrome is characterized by a dull nagging pharyngeal pain, a palpable hardness in the tonsillar fossa, radiopaque elongation and enlargement of the syloid process. This is to report two cases of Eagle's Syndrome. The clinical and radiological features, development and pathogenesis of the Eagle's Syndrome and pathologic findings of the calcified styloid ligaments were described with review of literatures. The external cervical approach to resect the enlarged calcified processes can be an option due to better visualization and accessbility, less infection at risk than intra-oral approach. The findings and results were as follows ; 1. The calcified styloid ligaments accompanied with throat pain were reseded in size of $5.5{\times}48mm(#1,\;Rt)$, $3.6{\times}5mm(#1,\;Lt)$, $5.2{\times}51mm(#2,\;Rt)$ and $3.1{\times}38mm(#2,\;Lt)$. 2. The submandibular approach to resect the calcified styloid process is of help to get better visibility and accessiblilty avoiding the injury to the deep cervial vital structures. 3. The resected styloid processes were examined histopathologically as the matured cortical bones with marrow structures or cartilagenous cells without any findings of neoplasmic changes. 4. The remained process did not show any noticeable regrowth in 3 years after surgical amputation.

Purpose: The Roux en Y method has rarely been performed due to longer operation time and high risk of complication, despite several merits including prevention of bile reflux. We conducted a retrospective review of the result of Roux en Y reconstruction using two circular staplers after subtotal gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: From December 2008 to May 2009, a total of 26 patients underwent Roux en Y reconstruction using two circular staplers after subtotal gastrectomy, and seventy-two patients underwent Billroth-I reconstruction. Roux en Y anastomosis was performed using two circular staplers without hand sewing anastomosis. We compared clinicopathologic features and surgical outcomes between the two groups. All patients underwent gastrofiberscopy between six and twelve months after surgery to compare the bile reflux. Results: No significant differences in clinicopathologic findings were observed between the two groups, except for the rate of minimal invasive surgery (P=0.004) and cancer stage (P=0.002). No differences in the rate of morbidity (P=0.353) and admission duration (P=0.391) were observed between the two groups. Gastrofiberscopic findings showed a significant reduction of bile reflux in the remnant stomach in the Roux en Y group (P=0.019). Conclusions: When compared with Billroth-I reconstruction, Roux en Y reconstruction using the double stapler technique was found to reduce bile reflux in the remnant stomach without increasing postoperative morbidity. Based on these results, we planned to begin a randomized controlled clinical trial for comparison of Roux en Y reconstruction using this method with Billroth-I anastomosis.

Kartagener's sydrome is an autosomaly inherited recessive condition characterized by situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and chronic sinusitis. And recently it was recognized as a subclass of dyskinetic cilia syndrome which caused by a defect in mucociliary transport owing to immotile or dyskinetic beating of cilia. Electron microsopy of cilia from sperm tails, nasal and bronchial epithelium of patients reveals the partial or complete absence of dynein arms. Our four patients were diagnosed as a Kartagener's syndrome by classic triad. We carried out electron microscopy of cilia of the nasal mucosa. And many other tests were done. One patient had squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, and another one patient revealed features of adult respiratory distress syndrome at admission. All patients improved with conservative therapy such as physiotherapy, bronchodilater, antibiotics except one patient who mechanical ventilation was required. A brief review of literature was made.

The calcifying odontogenic cyst was identified as a pathological entity by Gorlin & his associates in 1962. This lesion is one of the rarest and most disputable cysts in the oral region. The calcifying odontogenic cyst has variable clinical and radiological features. We review the previous literatures and report 2 cases of calcifying odontogenic cyst at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kyung-Hee University. The 1st case was as follows. The patient vas 22 year old female. The past dental history revealed extraction of prolonged retained #73 tooth about 15days ago. She complained a painful swelling on the lower anterior teeth area. There were chin and vestibular swelling on the lower anterior teeth area, tenderness and missing of #33 tooth. The radiograph revealed well-demarcated unilocular radiolucency containing radiopaque calcific flecks around impacted #33 tooth. The clinical diagnosis was COC, so surgical enucleation was done. There was no recurrence and COC was confirmed by pathologist. The second case was as follows. The patient was 72 year old male. The past history revealed inactive tuberculosis, bronchial asthma and denture construction. The chief complaint was rapidly growing mass on the lower left anterior edentulous area. The clinical findings were chin swelling protruding mass with surface ulceration, fluctuation and a few bloody fluid in aspiration. The radiograph revealed well-demarcated radiolucency mimiking the residual cyst. The biopsy result was COC. The surgical excision was done, but the lesion was recurred 10 months later. The treatment was surgical excision with aggressive peripheral bone grinding and FTSG form groin area. There was no problem during the postoperative period.
