A five-month-old boy who had undergone previously transcatheter balloon atrioseptostomy at 3 days of age for complete transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis underwent pulmonary root translocation with the Lecompte maneuver. This operation has the advantages of maintaining pulmonary valve function, preserving the capacity for growth, and avoiding problems inherent to the right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduit. This patient progressed well for 9 months postoperatively and we report this case of pulmonary root translocation with the Lecompte maneuver.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe adverse cutaneous drug reaction seen rarely in clinical practice. Although relatively rare, the condition can be fatal. Mainly, it is caused by side effects of certain medications. Previous reports have associated Stevens-Johnson syndrome with abnormal root development, but the other long-term dental complications have rarely been reported. In this case, the patient developed SJS at the age of 5, and abnormal root development of the maxillary and mandibular first molars and mandibular incisors was observed, as well as impaction of the mandibular canine and enamel hypomineralization of multiple teeth. Accordingly, appropriate restorative treatment and orthodontic treatment were performed, and the clinical characteristics of this symptoms and its treatment were discussed in more detail. We aim to highlight the need for dentists to be aware of the potential dental complications of SJS and to enable early diagnosis and management of the condition to avoid undesirable sequelae.

치근 흡수는 백악질과 상아질의 부분적인 상실로 특징되어지는 상황이며, 치근의 길이 감소를 야기하고 치아의 기능에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 일반적인 병리적인 치근 흡수와 구별하여 교정치료와 관계된 치근 흡수를 orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR)이라고 부른다. 이번 연구의 목적은 한국인을 대상으로 하여 교정 치료 후에 나타나는 치근 흡수와 관련된 환자 요인과 교정치료 요인을 찾고, 그 양상에 대해 알아보는 것이다. 판별될 요소들은 발치 치료 여부, 성별, 나이, 치근첨의 변위량과 방향, 총 치료 기간, 치아 길이, 치근의 형태였다. 이번 연구는 단국대학교 치과대학병원 교정과에서 2007년 11월부터 2008년 12월 사이에 포괄적인 교정치료가 종결된 환자의 상악 중절치를 대상으로 하였다. 선정된 대상자 수는 137명이었다. 각각의 기록은 치근단 사진과 측모 두부 방사선사진으로 구성되어졌다. 전체 대상치아에 대한 평균 치근 흡수량은 1.63 mm였으며 표준편차는 1.58 mm였다. 이변량적인 비교에서 발치 치료군에서는 $2.10{\pm}1.64mm$, 비발치 치료군에서는 $1.18{\pm}1.39mm$로 나타났다. 발치 치료 군에서 흡수량이 0.92 mm 컸으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 초기 치아의 길이가 길수록 흡수량이 컸으며, 4 mm 이상의 심한 치근 흡수를 보이는 그룹에서 blunt, pointed, eroded 형태의 비정상적인 치근 형태의 비율이 높았다. OIRR에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요소로 발치 여부, 초기 치아의 길이, 치근의 형태가 있었다.

Objective : The objective of this study was to investigate the morphologic characteristics between the vertebral body and the regions of the cervical and thoracic spinal cords where each rootlets branch out. Methods : Sixteen adult cadavers (12 males and 4 females) with a mean age of 57.9 (range of 33 to 70 years old) were used in this study. The anatomical relationship between the exit points of the nerve roots from the posterior root entry zone at each spinal cord segment and their corresponding relevant vertebral bodies were also analyzed. Results : Vertical span of the posterior root entry zone between the upper and lower rootlet originating from each spinal segment ranged from 10-12 mm. The lengths of the rootlets from their point of origin at the spinal cord to their entrance into the intervertebral foramen were 5.9 mm at the third cervical nerve root and increased to 14.5 mm at the eighth cervical nerve root. At the lower segments of the nerve roots (T3 to T12), the posterior root entry zone of the relevant nerve roots had a corresponding anatomical relationship with the vertebral body that is two segments above. The posterior root entry zones of the sixth (94%) and seventh (81%) cervical nerve roots were located at a vertebral body a segment above from relevant segment. Conclusion : Through these investigations, a more accurate diagnosis, the establishment of a better therapeutic plan, and a decrease in surgical complications can be expected when pathologic lesions occur in the spinal cord or vertebral body.

Effect of gibberllin on the breaking of bud dormancy of root and growth of aerial parts were investigated under laboratory and field condition for the prolongation of shoot growth duration, shortening of fruit bearing age and the increase of root yield. Drop application of GA (0.5ml of 50ppm) on rhizome of one year old root broke bud dormancy better than by low temperature. Soaking for one hour of one year old roots which wintered in the field in GA (50-200ppm) greatly accelerated the emergence of new buds while kinetin was only effective at low level (50ppm). GA substantially increased stem length in early stage and petiole length later on while kinetin increased stem diameter. Under the field condition with polythylene film tunnel (PET) in early spring the soaking in GA (50ppm for 1 hour) of rhizome of 4 year old root with replanting and dropping GA (50ppm, 1ml) on rhizome without replanting brought earlier emergence (29days) in comparison with that in the usual field. PET alone caused 14 day-early emergence. GA increased the length of stem and petiole only in early stage and replanting decreased only petiole length in later stage. Soaking in GA with replanting caused the Pronounced decrease in peduncle length, percentage of (ruin set and dry weight of reproductive organ (fruits and peduncle). Dropping without replanting showed significant decrease only in dry weight of reproductive organ. Fruit maturing was 20 days earlier than in usual held with little difference between GA and PET. It is well expected that GA could be used for early emergence of bud, shortening of root dormancy period, thinning of fruit and higher root yield according to application amount and methods.

The response of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations caused significant change in root number, root length, coleoptile length, shoot length and leaf age of seedlings. The genotypic difference in the effect of DO also highly significant (P<0.01) for all of the seedling traits. The number and length of root were extremely inhibited at the condition of $0.39\pm0.09$ DO concentration. While the coleoptile elongated markedly in the lowest DO concentrations, the shoot did not develop. The root growth was improved slightly at the $1.39\pm0.27mg L^{-1}$, however, there were no difference among genotypes at these two low DO concentrations. As the DO concentration become higher, the growth of root and shoot was improved remarkably. Root number, root length and shoot length was significantly different between $20\;and\;30^{\circ}C$ in DO rich and normal conditions, the development of those traits were apparently accelerated in high water temperature, however those traits of seedlings in DO deficiency were not different between the two temperatures except for shoot length. On the other hand the coleoptile length was not affected by the stagnant water temperature; it was stimulated by the low DO concentration. The competition of DO was greater as the seedling density was increased in the stagnant water, therefore the seedlings grown under high density have long and white coleoptiles, and the growth of roots and shoots was retarded severely.

미맹출된 상악 중절치는 비교적 흔히 임상에서 8세이상의 아동에서 관찰될 수 있다. 맹출실패의 원인으로는 치배의 비정상적인 발육이 언급되는데 아직 명백히 밝혀지지는 않았지만, 이는 외상이나 선행유치의 치근단 감염으로 유발될 수 있다. 본 증례는 외상의 병력이 없어 유치의 치근단 감염에 의한 상악 중절치의 매복을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 치아의 맹출과 Hertwig's epithelial root sheath 에 의한 지속적인 치근 발육을 유도하기 위해서는 외과적 노출과 가철성 장치를 이용한 교정적 견인이 치료방법으로 시행될수 있다. 본 증례는 역위 매복으로 인해 치근의 만곡이 예상되며 치근의 발육이 지연된 치아를 치근형성 전 조기에 가철성 장치를 이용한 교정적 견인에 의해 정상적인 맹출과 인접치와 유사한 치근 발육이 얻어졌다. 하지만 향후 완전한 치근 형성 유무에 대한 주기적인 검진과 부착치은 획득을 위한 치주적인 처치가 필요하리라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biodiversity, spore density and root colonization in relation to site ages at expressway cut-slopes in Korea. Stabilization of exposed surface involved soil amendments and spraying seed mixture of turf grasses and/or nitrogen-fixing shrub species. Eighteen sites were selected with varying ages (2 to 16 years). Soil samples collected in October from each site were analyzed for fungal diversity and spore counts. Fine root samples from the plants were assayed for fungal colonization. Of the total 37 plants inspected in the sites, 26 species had endomycorrhizal colonization with an average root colonization rate of 18%, and with a range from 1 to 67%. The average endomycorrhizal colonization rate of initially introduced Festuca arundinacea which became the most dominant grass in later stage showed 22.8%, while that of Lespedeza bicolor which became the most dominant woody species were 21.6%. Naturally-invading Robinia pseudoacacia showed higher colonization rate in the old sites. Although site age did not show significant effects on fungal diversity, the root colonization rates of initially introduced plants decreased with the site aging, while those of invading plants increased with aging of the sites. The soil chemical properties, pH, N, and P contents, were negatively correlated with spore density, root colonization and endomycorrhizal species diversity. A total of forty arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species in seven genera were identified. Of the 40 species, Acaulospora lacunosa, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus constrictum, Scutellospora erythropa, and Acaulospora spinosa were the five most dominant species in the decreasing order.

A 25-year-old man returned to Seoul National University Children's Hospital with mild dyspnea on exertion. He had undergone an arterial switch operation at 1 month after birth to correct a complete transposition of the great arteries and a ventricular septal defect. When the patient was 15 years old, dilatation of the neo-aortic sinus and annulus was first identified; since then, it had gradually increased. Given the young age of the patient and the degree of aortic regurgitation (AR), which was mild to moderate, we opted to perform a valve-sparing neo-aortic root replacement with aortic valve repair. Postoperative echocardiography showed successful reductions in the sizes of the aortic sinus and annulus, with only mild AR remaining.
