Purpose: Most nasal bone fractures involve the septum; either or both of the ethmoidal perpendicular plate(EPP) and quadrangular cartilage(QC). Unlocked tension from the underlying quadrangular cartilage and poorly reducted bony septum are obstacles to the successful reduction of nasal bone. So we compared the preliminary outcome of septoplasty as a primary treatment with the untreated septum in nasal bone fractures. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 215 patients underwent reduction of nasal fracture between January 2002 and February 2008. We graded patients into four groups according to the amount of deviation and direction of force by CT. Our indication for septoplasty and combined procedures was the deviation of EPP or QC over 50% from the midline. We interviewed part of the patients by telephone regarding the subjective esthetic and functional outcomes. Results: Forty five of 215 patients (21 percent) underwent septoplasty and combined procedures (cartilage graft, etc) after the informed consent. Patients who underwent septoplasty significantly satisfied with the outcome of esthetic appearance and nasal patency compared with patients who underwent simple closed reduction despite of having septal deviation over 50 percent from the midline. (p < 0.05) Conclusion: Septal surgery and esthetic consideration shoud be made even in simple nasal reductions. And if CT scans reveal severe deviation of septum, septoplasty should be considered as a primary treatment.

The myocardial temperature was monitored in 19 patients of open heart surgery using the Shiley myocardial temperature probe in Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Yeungnam University Hospital. The myocardial temperature were measured time-wise: initial and 15 minutes following the infusion of the cardioplegic solution into the aortic root and upon reinfusion, which is 30 minutes apart from the initial. The measurements were made in the anterior wall of the right ventricle, the posterior wall of the left ventricle and the interventricular septum. Immediately after initial infusion, the temperature of the right ventricle[10.7 $\pm$4.3oC] was the lowest and that of the left ventricle[12.9$\pm$3.9 oC] the highest in the mean values among all 19 patients. However, no significant differences were noted among the different regions. At 15 minutes after infusion, the lowest temperature was in the right ventricle[17.5$\pm$5.1 oC], followed by interventricular septum[17.9$\pm$2.9 oC], and left ventricle[21.4$\pm$2.5 oC]. At 30 minutes after infusion, the lowest temperature was measured in the interventricular septum[13.6$\pm$2.7 oC ], followed by right ventricle[13.8$\pm$4.0 oC] and left ventricle[14.5$\pm$4.5 oC ]. Evaluating changes of myocardial temperature according to postinfusion time, the temperature at 15 minutes after infusion showed significant increase as compared with that immediately after the infusion in all three regions[p<0.05] and the temperature at 30 minutes after infusion showed significant decrease as compared with that at 15 minutes after the infusion in the left ventricle and the interventricular septum[p<0.05]. The left ventricle was rewarmed most rapidly and its temperature the highest in the mean values, Accordingly, the maintenance of optimal hypothermia of the left ventricle indicated a very careful factor in myocardial protection.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes of the alveolar bone and interdental bone septum of the mandibular incisors through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after orthodontic treatment of mandibular dental crowding without dental extraction. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 64 CBCT images(32 pre-treatment and 32 post-treatment) from 32 adult patients with class I malocclusion and an average age of 23.0±3.9 years. The width and height of the alveolar bone and interdental septum, the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the facial and lingual bone crests, and the inclination of the mandibular incisors were measured. Results: The distance between the CEJ and the marginal bone crest on the facial side increased significantly (P<0.05). An increased distance between the CEJ and the bone crest on the facial and lingual sides showed a correlation with the irregularity index (P<0.05); however, no significant association was observed with increasing mandibular incisor inclination (P>0.05). The change in the distance between the CEJ and the marginal bone crest on the facial side was correlated significantly with bone septum height(P<0.05). Conclusion: Bone dehiscence developed during the treatment of crowding without extraction only on the incisors' facial side. Increasing proclination of the mandibular incisor was not correlated with bone dehiscence. The degree of dental crowding assessed through the irregularity index was associated with the risk of developing bone dehiscence. The interdental septum reflected facial marginal bone loss in the mandibular incisors.

Background: Many severe nasal bone fractures present with septal fractures, causing postoperative septal deviation and negatively affecting the patients' quality of life. However, when a septal fracture is absent, it is difficult to predict whether surgical correction can help minimize nasal septal deviation postoperatively. This study determined whether performing closed reduction on even mildly displaced nasal bone fracture could deter the outcome of septal deviation. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 116 patients aged 21-72 years who presented at the outpatient clinic and emergency room with fractures of nasal bones only without any involvement of the septum from January 2014 to December 2020. Patients were classified into three fracture type groups: A (unilateral), B (bilateral), and C (comminuted with depression). The degree of septal deviation was calculated by measuring the angle between the apex of the most prominent point and the crista galli in the coronal view on computed tomography images. The difference between the angles of the initial septal deviation and that of the follow-up was calculated and expressed as delta (Δ). Results: Closed reduction tended to decrease the postoperative septal deviation in all fracture types, but the values were significantly meaningful only in type A and B fractures. In the surgical group, with type A as the baseline, type B showed a significantly larger Δ value, but type C was not significantly different, although type C showed a smaller Δ value. In the conservative group, with type A as the baseline, the other fracture types presented significantly lower Δ values. Conclusion: For all fracture types, closed reduction significantly decreased the extent to which the nasal septum likely deviated. Therefore, when a patient is reluctant to undergo closed reduction, physicians should address the possible outcomes and prognosis of untreated nasal bone fractures.

Neurofibroma is a neurogenic tumor arising from schwann cells or peripheral tissues of nerve sheaths. Neurofibroma rarely occurs as a solitary lesion but mostly occurs as part of neurofibromatosis and reports of neurofibromas developed in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus are very rare. We report on a case of neurofibroma of the nasal cavity treated by endoscopic surgery. Preoperative computed tomography(CT), and punch biopsy suggested that the tumor was benign neurogenic tumor cofined to right nasal cavity. The tumor was removed with endoscopic surgery completely, and confirmed as neurofibroma by histological and immunohistochemical examination. We discuss the clinical and pathological characters of neurofibroma arising in the nasal septum.

This study primarily attempted to investigate the effects of methamphetamine on stereotyped behavior. Furthermore, an extensive experiment was conducted to examine the cortex methamphetamine concentration and levels of dopamine, serotonin, and their metabolites in striatum, septum and hypothalamus. Following treatment with 10 mg/kg methamphetamine, stereotyped behavior was observed in 10 minutes. Consequently female rats displayed more intense and longer lasting activity than the male. The concentration of cortex methamphetamine was even higher in female than male. The administration of methamphetamine increased the rate of dopamine turnover-i.e. lower dopamine, higher homovanillic acid in the striatum, septum. The highest rate was found in the striatum. Methamphetamine decreased the levels of serotonin, and its metabolite of 5-indoleacetic acid in the striatum, septum. An intensity in behavioral response was accompanied by an increase in dopamine turnover, a decrease in serotonergic transmission. The reduction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid-i.e. the metabolite of dopamine was due not to the inhibition of monoamine oxidase but to the induction of monoamine oxidase but to the induction of catechol-O-methyltransferase. The phenomenon of biogenic amines by methamphetamine concurred upon the concentration of methamphetamine in the brain. This process preceded stereotyped behavior. After single injection of 10 mg/kg methamphetamine, the levels of biogenic amines recovered within 6 hours.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, and with VSD were uncommon congenital anomalies with high mortality in the neonatal period. Those survivals depend on an adequate interatrial communication or interventricular communication and pulmonary flow via large aortopulmonary collateral including PDA. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and with VSD. On case 1, 10-years old male patient was confirmed as pulmonary valvular membranous atresia with intact ventricular septum combined with large functioning PFO and mild tricuspid incompetence. So we performed total correction under the E.C.C, that was PDA ligation, RVOT reconstruction with monocusp valved outflow patch [16mm], repair of tricuspid insufficiency and closure of PFO. Post-operative hemodynamic result was good and there was no event during hospital course. On case 2, 16-years old female patient was diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and PDA. MPA was absent, remained fibrous cord like remnant and type of VSD was subaortic defect [3cm by 3cm in the size]. PDA was located at the usual site. Under the E.C.C. VSD patch closure through the right ventriculotomy, anastomosis between the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary bifurcated site with the extra-cardiac Hancock valved conduit [22cm] and PDA ligation were performed.

Two siphonous green algae were collected from the eastern coast of Korea. These species share the typical features of Derbesia sporophytes, such as erect and prostrate siphonous filaments and the presence of basal septum in lateral branches. One is characterized by the combined features of a relatively small tufted sporophytic thalli arising from a rhizoidal base, subdichotomously branched filaments with a basal septum and one pyrenoid per subspherical to lenticular chloroplast. The other shows a larger sporophytic thallus, sparsely subdichotomously branched filaments with a basal septum and one pyrenoid per spherical chloroplast. In a phylogenetic tree based on rbcL sequence, the two above-mentioned Korean algae nest in the same clades as Derbesia minima and D. indica, respectively. The genetic distance between the sequences within the clades was 0.5-0.8%, which is considered to be included in the intra-specific range for the genus. These two siphonous Korean algae are identified as D. minima and D. indica, respectively, based on the morphological and molecular analyses. These species are newly recorded in the Korean marine algal flora herein.
