Objective: To develop a method for generating three-dimensional (3D) digital models of the periodontal ligament (PDL) using 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction and to evaluate the accuracy and agreement of the 3D PDL models in the measurement of periodontal bone loss. Methods: CBCT data collected from four patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion prior to periodontal surgery were reconstructed at three voxel sizes (0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, and 0.3 mm), and 3D tooth and alveolar bone models were generated to obtain digital PDL models for the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Linear measurements of the alveolar bone crest obtained during periodontal surgery were compared with the digital measurements for assessment of the accuracy of the digital models. The agreement and reliability of the digital PDL models were analyzed using intra- and interexaminer correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Results: Digital models of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth, PDL, and alveolar bone of the four patients were successfully established. Relative to the intraoperative measurements, linear measurements obtained from the 3D digital models were accurate, and there were no significant differences among different voxel sizes at different sites. High diagnostic coincidence rates were found for the maxillary anterior teeth. The digital models showed high intra- and interexaminer agreement. Conclusions: Digital PDL models generated by 3D CBCT reconstruction can provide accurate and useful information regarding the alveolar crest morphology and facilitate reproducible measurements. This could assist clinicians in the evaluation of periodontal prognosis and establishment of an appropriate orthodontic treatment plan.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate a deep learning system for fully automated segmentation of abdominal muscle and fat areas on computed tomography (CT) images. Materials and Methods: A fully convolutional network-based segmentation system was developed using a training dataset of 883 CT scans from 467 subjects. Axial CT images obtained at the inferior endplate level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra were used for the analysis. Manually drawn segmentation maps of the skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and subcutaneous fat were created to serve as ground truth data. The performance of the fully convolutional network-based segmentation system was evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient and cross-sectional area error, for both a separate internal validation dataset (426 CT scans from 308 subjects) and an external validation dataset (171 CT scans from 171 subjects from two outside hospitals). Results: The mean Dice similarity coefficients for muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat were high for both the internal (0.96, 0.97, and 0.97, respectively) and external (0.97, 0.97, and 0.97, respectively) validation datasets, while the mean cross-sectional area errors for muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat were low for both internal (2.1%, 3.8%, and 1.8%, respectively) and external (2.7%, 4.6%, and 2.3%, respectively) validation datasets. Conclusion: The fully convolutional network-based segmentation system exhibited high performance and accuracy in the automatic segmentation of abdominal muscle and fat on CT images.

Purpose : This study was conducted to compare two non-face-to-face exercise interventions depending on whether mobile applications and wearable exercise aids are used to find out which interventions are more effective in improving senile sarcopenia. Ultimately, it was conducted to provide basic data for developing non-face-to-face intervention methods to improve sarcopenia. Method : In this study, 18 elderly sarcopenia and possible sarcopenia aged 65 or older were randomly assigned to the digital and self-exercise intervention groups. The digital exercise intervention group performed eight exercise programs with mobile applications and wearable exercise aids to record and manage the elderly performing the programs in real time. And the self-exercise intervention group performed the same program on its own as implemented in the digital exercise group. The intervention was applied for 8 weeks, and before and after the intervention, sarcopenia evaluation and physical function evaluation were performed. Results : In the digital exercise intervention group, arm muscle mass, skeletal muscle index, SPPB, 5TSTS, and BBS were improved, and in the self-exercise intervention group, grip strength, SPPB, 5TSTS, and BBS were improved. Conclusion : It was confirmed that both groups are effective in improving physical performance and physical function, the digital exercise intervention is effective in improving muscle mass and self-exercise intervention is effective in improving muscle strength. Therefore, this study proposes to apply intervention methods separately according to the indicators to improve and prevent sarcopenia, and also simplify the instructions of applications used to improve sarcopenia and to create an environment where users can be trained regularly on how to use it. And, In the future, studies for the development of devices to be designed to help non-face-to-face exercise interventions or studies on the differences between face-to-face and non-face-to-face exercise interventions should be conducted in terms of the effect of improving sarcopenia.

표준물질 Alpha-chaconine과 alpha-solanine에 대한 LC-MS 분석을 통해서 농도별 기준을 정하고 추출시료의 농도를 정량분석 하였다. LC-MS 분석을 통한 정량선 작성 결과 두 화합물 모두 0.16~5,000ng/mL 농도 구간에서 검량선을 확인할 수 있었다. 건조시료에서 alphachaconine 2.05mg/g, alpha-solanine 0.60mg/g으로 총합 2.65mg/g의 알칼로이드를 함유한 것으로 나타났다. 열수추출물의 경우 총합 2.23mg/g, 에탄올 추출물에서는 총합 0.52mg/g으로 알칼로이드 함량이 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 아트로핀 표준물질에 대한 LC-MS 분석 결과 m/z 290의 SIM mode에서 검출하였다. 가지와 토마토 추출물에서 아트로핀 화합물이 미검출 되었으며, 실험에 사용된 시료에서는 아트로핀 화합물의 함유가 작아 정량분석에 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. Fig. 8에 나타나는 제1위 소화율 시험에서 감자와 Zilmax를 첨가한 시료에서 유의적으로 소실이 진행되었고 가지의 경우 완만하게 소실되었다. 소실되는 건물내 존재하는 글라이코 알칼로이드 농도를 측정해 본 결과 α-solanine과 α-chaconine 농도 모두가 감소하였고 특히 섭취 후 8시간에서 12시간 내에 완전 소화되는 것을 확인하였다. 알칼로이드 사료첨가물을 20일간 급여한 거세한우 32두의 혈액 내 대사물질을 측정한 결과 유리지방산(NEFA)의 경우 가지처리구와 대조구에서는 다른 대사물질과 유사하게 증가하였는데 Zilmax와 감자 처리구에서는 반대로 감소하는 현상을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 감자추출물이 유리지방산에 작용기작이 β-adrenergic agonist인 Zilmax와 유사한 작용을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study evaluated postoperative maxillary stabilities in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion who were taken both maxillary advancement surgery and mandibular retrusive surgery, using Le Fort I osteotomy, through three-dimensional computed tomography. Methods: We selected 14 patients who were taken postoperative three-dimensional computerized tomography at the time before surgery, immediately after surgery, six months after surgery among the patients undergone both maxillary advancement surgery using Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular retrusive surgery using bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. We measured and compared the vertical distance of A-point and posterior nasal spine (PNS), the horizontal distance of A-point and PNS in transverse plane and coronal plane of the three-dimensional reconstructed images, respectively. Results: In transverse plane, the distance difference between immediately after surgery ($S_1$) and immediately before surgery ($S_0$) of A-point was $-0.04{\pm}1.80$ mm, $S_2$ and $S_0$ was $-0.15{\pm}1.69$ mm, and between $S_1$ and $S_2$ was $0.11{\pm}0.58$ mm. There were no significant differences between these data (P>0.05). In transverse plane, the distance between $S_1-S_0$ of PNS was $-3.87{\pm}2.37$ mm, $S_2-S_0$ of PNS was $-3.79{\pm}2.39$ mm, and $S_1-S_2$ of PNS was $-0.08{\pm}0.18$ mm. There were significant differences between these data (P<0.05). In coronal plane, the distance between $S_1-S_0$ of A-point was $3.99{\pm}0.86$ mm, $S_2-S_0$ was $3.57{\pm}1.09$ mm, and $S_1-S_2$ was $0.42{\pm}0.42$ mm. There were significant differences between these data (P<0.05). In coronal plane, the distance between $S_1-S_0$ of PNS was $3.82{\pm}0.96$ mm, $S_2-S_0$ was $3.43{\pm}0.91$ mm, and $S_1S_2$ was $0.39{\pm}0.49$ mm. There were significant differences between these data (P<0.05). In transverse plane, it was estimated that PNS has no statistical postoperative stability in the same direction. In coronal plane, it was estimated that both A-point and PNS had no statistical postoperative stability (P<0.05). Conclusion: Clinically, the operation plan needs to take into account of the maxillary relapse.

An Effect of Muscle Strength Training Program on Muscle Strength, Muscle Endurance, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and Quality of Life in the Institutionalized Elderly Recent statistics shows that the aged are the fastest growing segment of our population by increasing life span. The age group of over 60 shows multiple health problems and the most serious handicapping problem of these. are related to the changes in muscular skeletal system. With aging, people lose. their muscle mass and muscle strength resulting from biological changes and physical inactivity. Studies documented a 30-50% loss of muscle mass in an advanced age and thus, ordinary life activities can be seriously affected due to weakened muscle strength. Preservation of muscle strength of lower limb is especially important in the aged. Since it is readily affected from reduced physical activity in old age, sometimes to the detriment of moving or walking. So muscle strength exercise program designed for the elderly to improve leg muscle strength and leg muscle endurance. The research design used was nonequivalent control group pretest - protest design. The purposes of this study were to test the effect of muscle strength exercise program utilizing Leg Press on muscle strength, muscle endurance, instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), cognitive perceptual variables and quality of life. Forty nine subjects participating in this study consisted of twenty four male and twenty five female. Twenty four experimental group subjects were selected from C-institution in Chung Buk province, and twenty five control group subjects were selected from O-institution in Chung Nam province. The mean age of subjects was 72.8 years. Muscle strength training program utilizing Leg Press for the experimental group was carried out three times a week for 9 weeks. The data was collected from August, 1993 to October, 1993. Data were analyzed with $X^2-test$, t-test, ANCOVA test, Kruskal Wallis 1-Way ANOVA test using SPSS PC program. Results were obtained as follows : 1) The experimental group showed significantly higher scores on muscle strength (leg lift strength, back lift strength and grip strength) and muscle endurance than control group after the experiment $\ulcorner$F=52.35(p=.001), F=54.07(p=.001), F=6.97(p=.011), F=18.17(p=.001)$\lrcorner$ 2) Experimental group were significantly higher scores on IADL than control group(F=7.51, p=.009). 3) Experimental group showed significantly higher scores on economical state and self esteem aspects of the quality of life scale than control group $\ulcorner$F=10.59(p=.002), F=6.97(p=.011)$\lrcorner$. But there were no differences in emotional state, physical and functional state and relationship with reatives in the quality of life between groups. 4) Scores on IADL showed a significant difference with the level of muscle strength and muscle endurance $\ulcornerx^2=7.73(p=.025),\;x^2=8.86\;(p=.011)\lrcorner$ 5) Scores on self esteem and physical and functional state aspects of the quality of life scale showed a significant difference with the level of IADL $\ulcornerx^2=11.39(p=.003),\;x^2=9.02(p=.011)\lrcorner$. 6) Scores of experimental group after the experiment in cognitive perceptual variables (perceived benefit on exercise, perceived health status, self efficacy, emotion on exercise) were significantly higher than those of control group $\ulcorner$F=32.09(p=.001), F=5.07(p=.029), F=20.63 (p=.001), F=30.38(p=.001)$\lrcorner$. As a result of this study, the effect of strength training exercise program with Leg. Press had improved muscle strength, muscle endurance, IADL, and the perception of self esteem, physical and funtional state, and economical state. Thus strength training program could be beneficially applied for the prevention of disablity and promotion of health and wellbeing in the aged easily and safely. The subjects in the experimental group have maintained their exercises till six months after the cessation of the experiment. This seem to illustrate that changes in cognitive perceptual variables and the improvement in health status have reinforced motivation for the continuation of voluntary exercises. A further study is necessary to determine the factors affecting maintainance of muscle strength exercise and to assess the effect of weight training program on bone density.
