This study was carried out in order to findout the amount of tooth movement, the changes arch size and the changes in arch morphology following orthodontic treatment and to provide a guideline for to predict post-treatment arch morphology. The sample group for this study consists of 15 males and 22 females, totalling in 37 persons, who received orthodontic treatment at Orthodontic Department of Dankook Univ. Dental Hospital. They are classified into Extraction Class I treatment group (E I), Non-extraction Class I treatment group (N I), and Non-extraction Class III treatment group (N III), according to their pre-treatment malocclusion state and methods of treatment. Following conclusions and averaged dental arch form for each group were obtained by cephalometric linear measurements and dental arch measurements using pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms and plaster study models. 1. Intercanine width were reduced in max. of both EI and NI during the period of treatment, 2. Intermolar width were reduced in max. of EI and increased in max. of NI. Therefore although there was no difference between these two groups before the treatment, intermolar width of the max, of NI was wider than that of E1 after the treatment. 3. PMV-incisor distance and PMV-canine distance were decreased in both max. and mand. of EI and that of NI, during the period of treatment. PMV-molar distance was decreased in both max. and mand. of NI and in mand. of NIII. 4. Items that showed stability during the treatment were: max. & mand. PMV-molar distance, mand. intercanine and intermolar width in EI; mand. intercanine and intermolar width in NI; mand. & max. PMV-incisor distance, PMV-canine distance, max. PMV-molar distance and max. & mand. intercanine and intermolar width in NIII. 5. The differences in averaged canine and molar variances to post-treatment dental arch form were present only in EI and in NI. There was no variance between maxilla and mandible in each group.

Objectives: This study was conducted to observe the progression of symptoms according to the treatment period of patients with social anxiety disorder who received complex Korean medicine treatment. Methods: The medical records of 25 patients who were diagnosed with social anxiety disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, and received complex Korean medicine treatment (herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Korean psychotherapy) for 12 weeks were analyzed. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Korean-Social Avoidance and Distress scale (K-SAD), and the Korean-Fear of Negative Evaluation (K-FNE) were measured at the initial hospital visit and during the 4, 8, and 12 weeks of treatment to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Missing values were replaced with the average evaluation index value at that time. Results: 1) Statistically significant changes in STAI-X1, STAI-X2, BDI-II, BAI, K-SAD, and K-FNE scores were seen according to the time of treatment. 2) When scores were compared between each treatment time point, STAI-X2 and BDI-II showed statistically significant changes between the initial visit and four weeks of treatment, the initial visit and eight weeks of treatment, and the initial visit and 12 weeks of treatment. STAI-X1 and K-FNE showed statistically significant changes between the initial visit and eight weeks of treatment and the initial visit and 12 weeks of treatment. There was a statistically significant change in BAI scores between the initial visit and the 12th week of treatment. Conclusions: Complex Korean medicine treatment alleviated anxiety, depression, fear, and avoidance of social situation symptoms in patients with social anxiety disorder. The longer the treatment period, the more symptoms tended to be alleviated. However, the evidence should be supplemented with prospective, controlled research.

Purpose: To evaluate compliance by analyzing and comparing treatment duration, degree of improvement after treatment and treatment response of oral lichen planus (OLP) patients according to characteristics of them and the severity of the lesion. Methods: According to treatment process, 132 subjects with OLP who first visited the Department of Oral Medicine at the Pusan National University Dental Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020were classified into three groups: Treatment completed (CT) group, Under treatment (UT) group, and Dropped out during follow-up (DT) group. The reticulation/keratosis, erythema, and ulceration (REU) scoring system was used to assess the severity of OLP. The degree of improvement after treatment was evaluated in CT group. Results: There were 53 (40.15%) CT, 27 (20.45%) UT and 52 (39.39%) DT. In CT group, according to initial REU score there was a statistical difference in the degree of improvement, but not in the length of time to complete treatment. There was no statistical difference between the days it took for patients to feel symptom relief, and the days of entire treatment among three groups. However, there was a positive correlation between the REU score of gingiva and duration of treatment in DT group. In the CT and DT groups, there was a correlation between the length of time taken to relieve symptoms and the duration of treatment. Conclusions: The severity of the gingival lesion and the initial response to treatment have a large effect on the entire treatment period and prognosis, so it should be considered when explaining the disease prognosis and treatment period to patients, and the clinician needs to focus on initial symptom relief.

인삼종자의 개갑처리과정중 종자단백질 및 몇가지 효소의 전기영동변이를 처리단계별로 조사하여 배의 분화 및 발육과의 관계를 검토하였다. 1. 종자단백질에서는 처리종료시까지 8개의 band를 보였는데 Rf 치가 0.12, 0.24, 0.66 및 0.72의 band는 농염인채 거의 변화가 없었으나 나머지 4개의 band는 처리기간이 길어짐에 따라 옅어지는 경향이었다. 한편 처리후 75일부터 분리채취한 배에서는 Rf 치가 0.76인 band를 확인할 수 없었다. 2. Peroxidase는 처리기간이 길어짐에 따라 band의 수가 증가하여 처리후 45일에는 4개의 band를 보였고 그들의 색조는 처리종료시까지 짙어지는 경향이었으며 배에서도 비슷한 양상으로 나타났다. 3. Esterase는 모두 4개의 band를 보였는데 처리일수가 증가함에 따라 Rf치 0.36의 band는 점차 짙어지는 경향이었고 Rf치 0.56의 band는 반대로 점차 옅어지는 경향이었으며 처리후 95일에는 종자(배분이전의 것)에서 소멸되었던 Rf치 0.20의 band가 배에서 선명하게 나타났다. 4. Glutamate dehydrogenase는 처리후 60일에만 나타난 Rf치 0.16의 band와 전조사기간에 걸쳐 나타난 Rf치 0.14의 band만이 확인되어 단조로운 양상을 보였으며 배에서는 후자만이 나타났다. 5. Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase는 분리채취한 배를 포함하여 채종시부터 처리종료시까지 Rf 치 0.36의 band가 유일한 것으로서 매우 단조로웠다.

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is necessary to neonates in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for survival and growth because of impossible of enteral feeding. Long-term TPN can be associated with a broad spectrum of hepatobiliary disorder, ranging from mild hepatic dysfunction to severe end-stage liver disease. Cholestasis developed most commonly in neonate, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is widely used in adult with cholestatic and non-cholestatic liver diseases but there have been limited data on the effects in neonate with PNAC. This study was performed retrospectively to review all medical histories of the total 30 neonates with was administrated UDCA for treatment to parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) at Chungbuk National University Hospital NICU from April 2002 to December 2008. UDCA was administrated at bilirubin is over 2 mg/dl. The criterias for drug evaluation were included hepatic biochemical marker such as direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, AST, ALT, ALP and GGT, TPN therapy period, cholestasis development period, UDCA treatment period, UDCA dosage and adverse effect. In the results, Post-UDCA treatment significant was decreased direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, AST and ALP (p<0.05), and was decreased GGT (p>0.05) and slightly was increased ALT (p>0.05). Reffective timect biDCA was appear at mean $10.5{\pm}1.3$ days, iDCA administration period was mean $64.4{\pm}5.9$ days, cholestasis period was mean $71.9{\pm}6.4$ days and UDCA dosage was mean $22.9{\pm}0.9$ mg/kg/day. Common adverse effects is diarrhea, 5 patients arised mild diarrhea but it possible also related with increased enteral feeding. In conclusion, iDCA can decrease direct bilirubin that major parameter t bcholestasis and oher hepatic biochemical makers. UDCA is effective on PNAC without any serious side effect and cost-effective. Although no greatly shortening cholestasis period, but can protect to develop into severe liver disease and other complication or death. Based on these result, UDCA is recommended for treatment of cholestasis at direct bilirubin is over 2 mg/dl.

Objective: The goal of this study is to provide the clinical data of patients with brainstem cavernous hemangiomas after treatment with microsurgery or radiosurgery after conducting a retrospective analysis of 21 patients at one institution. Methods: Twenty one patients with brainstem cavernous hemangiomas were treated at the authors' institution between 1995 and 2004 and clinical analysis was performed by retrospective review of medical records and neuroimaging examinations. Thirteen patients underwent microsurgical resection and radiosurgery was performed as an initial treatment in 9 patients. Results: Radical excision was achieved in 12 among 13 patients and transitory neurological deterioration or new neurological deficit developed during the immediate postoperative period in 7 (54%). The final outcomes at 5 - 70 months after surgery were improved in 11 patients (85%) and worsened in 2 patients (15%) compared with the preoperative state. Radiosurgery was performed in 9 patients. During the follow up period from 5 to 70 months there was neurological improvement in 3 patients, no significant change in 3 and deterioration in 3 patients. Two patients developed rebleeding at 5 months, 60 months respectively after radiosurgery. Conclusion: Microsurgery for symptomatic cavernous hemangioma of brainstem can be performed with acceptable morbidity. Fatal complication is rare with careful selection of the optimal operative approach in well selected patients. Radiosurgery is an effective alternative for the lesions which are not accessible by surgical approach, however, there is still a possibility of rebleeding over a long period after radiosurgical treatment and microsurgery should be considered as a treatment with priority for the majority of cases.

In general, the skeletal class III has the characteristics of mandibular overgrowth with a normal maxillary growth or maxillary undergrowth with a normal mandibular growth And clinical and radiographic evaluations of the patient are needed. However, the treatment plan is not dependent on these evaluations alone, because patient's general condition and hope for aesthetics varies. The aim of this report is to consider the treatment of a medically compromised patient with an anterior open bite and skeletal class III, which showed a severe mandibular overgrowth. In 2003, a 17-year-old boy with epilepsy, mental retardation presented at our clinic complaining of concave profile. A clinical examination showed severe mandibular prognathism with an anterior open bite. The radiographic examination revealed a short cranial base, a moderate maxillary overgrowth, severe mandibular overgrowth and skeletal open bite tendency. In 2004, he was verified to have no potential of growth by hand-and-wrist radiographs and an endocrine examination. He completed the preoperative orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery (sagittal split ramus osteotomy, genioplasty). He was evaluated on the first visit, the preoperative period and the postoperative period with a clinical and radiographic examination. At the first visit, the patient showed moderate overgrowth of the maxilla, severe overgrowth of the mandible, and a subsequential skeletal open bite. After the preoperative orthodontic treatment (preoperative period), the patient showed the same skeletal problem as before and a decompensated dentition for orthognathic surgery. After orthognathic surgery, his profile had improved, but he had still a skeletal openbite tendency because the maxillary orthognathic surgery was not performed. Severe mandibular prognathism with a maxillary overgrowth and anterior open bite should be treated by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. However, one-jaw orthognathic surgery on the remaining the skeletal open bite tendency was performed for his medical problem and facial esthetics. This subsequential open bite should be resolved with a postoperative orthodontic treatment.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of variations in the temperature and time of isothermal heat treatment, applied stresses and prestrain on the isothermal transformation behavior of ${\gamma}$ and ${\sigma}$ phases and mechanical properties of 25Cr-7Ni-3Mo duplex stainless steel. The precipitation of ${\gamma}$ and ${\sigma}$ phases through isothermal heat treatment showed the type curves with a certain incubation period, the curve migrated to in a short period of time and the amount of precipitation increased with decreasing isothermal heat treatment temperature. Under the state of isothermal transformation, the precipitation of ${\gamma}$ and ${\sigma}$ phases was stimulated by applied stress, with increasing applied stress, the curves migrated to in a short period of time and also observed that the application of stress has a greater influence on the amount of ${\sigma}$ precipitation than that of ${\gamma}$ precipitation. The precipitation of ${\gamma}$ and ${\sigma}$ phases was stimulated by cold and warm rolling before isothermal heat treatment and precipitation of ${\gamma}$ and ${\sigma}$ phases has a greater influence on the warm rolling than cold rolling. The tensile strength and hardness increased with increasing cold and warm rooling reduction ratio.
