Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of morphological Change of cervical spine to apply to neck retraction and extension regarding the straight deformity of cervical spine. Methods: A 40-year male subject with straight deformity of cervical spine participated in this study. The study subject underwent a cervical lateral radiography on the static position, neck retraction and neck extension on standing. Measurement method were using computer-based digital radiogram on a picture achieving computer system forthe centroid method, Cobb's angle and Jackson's angle. Results: Neck retraction was increased kyphosis on the C2-4 with lordosis on the C5-7. Neck extension was increased lordosis on the C2-7. Conclusions: These findings suggest that neck retraction was increased kyphosis and neck extension was increased lordosis based on the straight deformity of cervical spine. Therefore, we should be consider that neck extension exercise when increased lordosis for the patients of straight deformity of cervical spine.

This study aims to investigate the patterns and incidence rates of morphological deformities during artificial fingerling production of blackhead seabream (BSB, Acanthopagrus schlegeli) juveniles by visual and soft X-ray observations of BSB juveniles (n=881) collected from four industrial hatcheries. Using both methods, we observed seven types of external deformity ($11.2{\pm}4.4%$) and eight types of skeletal deformity ($53.4{\pm}5.1%$). Lordosis occurred in all hatcheries with the highest frequency and the mean frequency was $13.1{\pm}4.4%$ (24.5% in total abnormal) by soft X-ray. Although they had a similar standard length (SL), juveniles with lordosis had a significantly lower condition factor and body weight than normally developed juveniles (P<0.05); normal distribution curves of histogram of body proportions, i.e., body height (BH)/head length (HL) and trunk (=SL-HL)/BH, indicated differences between normally developed juveniles and those with lordosis. In addition, 59% of juveniles with lordosis had vertebral curvature of less than $20^{\circ}$, generally at the $17^{th}$ vertebrae. It is expected that the above results will be used as basic data necessary for determining the cause of lordosis and for developing techniques to prevent this symptom in the fingering production industry of BSB juveniles.

The ecotoxicological effects of 4-tert-octylphenol were observed on non-biting midge, Chironomus plumosus collected from Anyang stream in Seoul. The survival rate and adult emergence rate on C. plumosus exposed to octylphenol were not significantly affected. However, 4-tert-octylphenol induced developmental delay and disrupted sex ratio in high concentration of octylphenol. The mouth deformity such as tooth deletion or fusion in mentum, and tooth deletion in mandible were observed exposure to 4-tert-octylphenol. The deformity type of the mentum showed deletion (LT, 6.7%), and fusion (LT, 6.3%). Moreover, tooth deletion of mandible was observed in 4-tert-octylphenol treated groups (6.7%, 3 ppm).

인간의 산업활동 증가로 인해 발생하는 크롬과 구리 중금속은 강우와 폐수를 통해 환경으로 유입되어 서식 생물에 유해한 영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 하천 수생태계 오염 지표 생물인 Chironomus plumosus를 대상으로 크롬과 구리 노출에 따른 생존율, 성장률, 우화율, 성비 등의 생물학적 반응과 하순기절 기형의 형태적 영향을 관찰하였다. C. plumosus의 생존율은 크롬과 구리 노출 시간-농도의존적인 감소를 나타냈다. 성장률은 크롬 노출 후 4일째 감소하였고 구리 노출 시에는 상대적으로 고농도인 $1000mg\;L^{-1}$에서 모든 노출 시간에 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 $1000mg\;L^{-1}$ 구리 노출에서 대조군에 비해 우화율이 급격히 감소함을 관찰하였다. 크롬 노출 시 성비는 상대적 저농도에서(10과 $50mg\;L^{-1}$) 대조군과 달리 암컷의 비율이 증가했지만 구리 노출 시에는 상대적으로 고농도인 $1000mg\;L^{-1}$에서 수컷의 비율이 눈에 띄게 증가하는 성비불균형을 확인하였다. 나아가 C. plumosus 하순기절 형태적 기형은 크롬과 구리 노출에 따라 노출군에서 발생함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 크롬과 구리의 수생태계 유입이 서식하는 저서무척추동물인 C. plumosus의 생물학적, 형태적 유해 스트레스를 제공하며 C. plumosus가 크롬과 구리 같은 중금속 독성평가에 민감하게 반응하는 지표종임을 제시한다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare recycled and unused orthodontic miniscrews to determine the feasibility of reuse. The comparisons included both miniscrews with machined surfaces (MS), and those with etched surfaces (ES). Methods: Retrieved MS and ES were further divided into three subgroups according to the assigned recycling procedure: group A, air-water spray; group B, mechanical cleaning; and group C, mechanical and chemical cleaning. Unused screws were used as controls. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, insertion time and maximum insertion torque measurements in artificial bone, and biological responses in the form of periotest values (PTV), bone-implant contact ratio (BIC), and bone volume ratio (BV) were assessed. Results: Morphological changes after recycling mainly occurred at the screw tip, and the cortical bone penetration success rate of recycled screws was lower than that of unused screws. Retrieved ES needed more thorough cleaning than retrieved MS to produce a surface composition similar to that of unused screws. There were no significant differences in PTV or BIC between recycled and unused screws, while the BV of the former was significantly lower than that of the latter (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These results indicate that reuse of recycled orthodontic miniscrews may not be feasible from the biomechanical aspect.

실내에서 사육된 C. riparius를 대상으로 내분비계 교란물질인 BPA와 4-nonylphenol을 처리하여 형태적인 변화를 살펴보았다. 약제에 노출된 개체의 하순기절은 부드러워지거나(smooth) 손실(loss)이 가장 많았다. 처리물질에 따른 기형의 정도를 살펴보면, BPA는 $31{\sim}90%$, 4-nonlyphenol은 $40{\sim}80%$의 범위를 보였다. BPA는 처리 농도가 증가할수록 기형도 증가하였으나 4-nonylphenol은 노출농도 증가와 기형발생의 비례적으로 나타나지 않았다. 처리 물질별 하순기절의 기형 부위를 살펴보면, MIX타입의 기형이 가장 많이 나타났으며 그 다음으로 LT, MLT 타입의 기형이 나타났다. MLT에서는 부드러워지는 형태가 가장 많았고 LT에서는 teeth가 손실되는 loss 타입의 기형이 가장 많이 나타났다. 또한 LT에서는 부드러워지는 마모와 손실이 복합적인 타입이 그 다음으로 빈번하였다. MIX는 부드러워지거나 손실 타입의 기형이 가장 다수 관찰되었다.

The ecotoxicological effects of two antibiotics, fenbendazole and lincomycin, were observed in the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus japonicus s.l. collected from tidal pools in the southern coast of Korea. Fenbendazole had a significant effect on the survival rates (p < 0.05), delay of copepodite emergence, and urosome size (p < 0.05). Lincomycin, on the other hand, had no significant influence on these environmental indicators. However, our analysis of morphological abnormalities in T. japonicus s.l. showed that lincomycin was more effective than fenbendazole in causing deformities. The pattern of deformity was diverse, with fused segments, and loss or addition of setae in the swimming legs. All of these patterns appeared as a result of relatively low concentrations of this antibiotic (0.3, $1\;{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$). We report here patterns of morphological abnormality in T. japonicus s.l. exposed to antibiotics, and suggest their possible application in ecotoxicological monitoring.

Vertebral deformity in hatchery-reared black sea bream (Acanthoparus schlegelii) fingerlings occurred. Deformed fish had a good appetite but no clinical signs were found except the vertebral abnormality and darkness around the dorsal skin of the deformed vertebra. As more than 90% of the hatchery-reared fish exhibited vertebral abnormality, the fingerlings could not be used for commercial seeds any more. No morphological change in the swim bladder was observed. Histopathological changes on the deformed vertebra, gill, liver, and spleen were observed to clarify the cause of the deformity. The vertebra were irregularly deformed upward with the shape of "V" in an alphabetic character causing the spinal cord and dorsal aorta suppressed. The diameters of the muscle fibers around the deformed vertebra, especially, in the dorsal part, were much smaller and more irregular than those in normal fish, and the gabs between the fiber bundles were enlarged. No evidence of inflammatory responses in the lateral musculature were found. On the basis of normal inflation of the swim bladder, cultural environments for growth of the fingerlings, and histopathological alterations in the muscle, vertebra and gills, it is suggested that high speed of water current in the culturing aquaria between 23 to 30 days after hatching was responsible for the development of vertebral abnormality.

Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more sutures of either cranial vault or base. Fused sutures may impede normal growth of the calvaria, leading to characteristic skull deformities; Morphological craniosynostosis is classified descriptively. Being craniosynostosis uncorrected the deformity progresses continuously and causes an increase of intracranial pressure. The surgical involvement aims at the expansion of intracranial space as well as satisfactory achievement of craniofacial shape. Early surgical correction in infancy prevents the deformity from the further progression and possible associated complication of high intracranial pressure. A long period of follow-up is essential to asses the outcome of an effectiveness of the surgery. measurement of intracranial volume has been concerned in medical personnel and anthropologists for many years. A reliable and accurate measurements of the intracranial volume facilitates to make a diagnosis and treatment of craniosynostosis. Pre-and postoperative change of intracranial volume was evaluated with 3D CT scanning in 12 cases of craniosynostosis who underwent frontal advancement and total cranial vault remodeling. Increased intracranial volume is attributed to surgical release of craniosynostosis and natural growth. We conceive that the intracranial volume is significantly increased after surgical correction of fused cranial sutures and along with natural growing. A procedure of frontal advancement and total cranial vault remodeling is very useful to correct such a deformity as craniosynostosis. And also 2 cases out of five mentally retarded patients improved remarkably and Forehead retrusion or temporal depression followed in another two cases.
