This study was undertaken to find out the factor highly correlated to the depth of overbite among the skeletal factors of the craniofacial complex using lateral roentgenocephalograms. The subjects cconsited of fifty normal occlusions, sixty Class I malocclusions, sixty Class II division I malocclustions and sixty Class III malocclusions. The results were as follows: 1. Ans-Go-Me angle and lower genial angle showed high correlation to the depth of overbite in the total malocclusion sample. 2. The mean values of Ans-Go-Me angle and lower goinal angle for the normal sample were $49.8^{\circ}\;and\;75.6^{\circ}$, respectively. 3. Ans-Go-Me angle above $56^{\circ}$ or lower gonial angle above $84^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward an openbite. Conversely, Ans-Go-Me angle below $48^{\circ}$ or lower goinal angle below $73^{\circ}$ indicated a tendency toward a deepbite.

The coagulation factor activity compared two groups of the lower 10% (29.1~30.9 sec) and the upper 10% (38.0~41.9 sec) of the normal reference range of aPTT. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sex, age, and ABO blood type on coagulation factor activity. There was significant difference in the activity of the coagulation factor assay based on age. The VIII (p<0.0001) and IX (p=0.0050) in the lower group of samples from those over sixty years of age is higher than from those under sixty. In contrast, XII (p=0.0285) for samples over sixty was lower than for samples under sixty. While in the upper group V (p=0.0219), VIII (p=0.0005), and IX (p=0.0014) for samples from the over sixty group was higher than those under sixty. In the case of activity of coagulation factor between O and non-O blood type, VIII (p<0.001) activity of the non-O blood type was higher than that of the O blood type in the both groups. The XII (p=0.016) activity of non-O blood type was lower than that of O blood type in the upper group. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, when other variables are under the same conditions between lower and upper groups, there is a strong possibility for the lower group when activity of V (p=0.001), VIII (p<0.001), X (p<0.001) and XII (p<0.001) is increased. Furthermore, there is also a strong possibility of upper group when activity of II (p=0.004) and IX (p=0.012) is increased. However, no significant difference in between sex, age and XI was observed.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of kimchi intake on free radical and oxidative substance production in young adults and the elderly. Daily kimchi intake by people in their twenties (n = 93, 20 to 29 years old) and over sixty-five (n = 143, over 65 years old) in M city were surveyed and blood was drawn to analyze the free radicals in their plasma. The average amount of kimchi intake by the subjects was 115.8 $\pm$ 91.7 g. The amount of kimchi intake of those in their twenties (106.1 $\pm$ 80.6 g) was significantly lower than that of those over sixty-five (125.5 $\pm$ 102.9 g, p < 0.05). Concentrations of total free radicals and OH radicals were 27 and 33% greater respectively, in those over sixty-five than in those in their twenties, indicating that more free radicals were produced by the older group. The concentration of GSH was not signiacantly different in the two groups, but that of GSSG in the over sixty-five age group was 53% greater than in the twenties group, which resulted in a 35% reduction in GSH/GSSG in the elderly group. TBARS concentration in the over sixty-five group was 26% greater than that of the twenties group. In order to see the effect of kimchi intake on free radical production, subjects in same age group were divided into two sub groups-the mean over and the mean under groups-according to the average amount of kimchi intake, which was 115.8 g. The total free radicals, the OH radicals, the GSH, the GSSG, and the GSH/GSSG in the twenties group were not significantly different in the two kimchi intake groups. However, those in the over sixty-five group were significantly different. The concentration of total free radicals and OH radicals of the mean over group were 21 and 26% lower respectively, than those of the mean ova. group (p < 0.05). The GSH and GSH/GSSG of the mean ova. groups were higher by 8 and 12%, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the kimchi intake and the total free radicals was -0.1862 (p < 0.05) and that for GSH/GSSG was 0.1861 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the production of free radicals and oxidative substances increased with age, and kimchi seemed to retard this phenomena.

Purpose : To find out the proper compression ratios without degrading image quality and affecting lesion detectability on diagnostic images used in dentistry compressed with JPEG 2000 algorithm. Materials and Methods : Sixty Digora periapical images, sixty panoramic computed radiographic (CR) images, sixty computed tomographic (CT) images, and sixty magnetic resonance (MR) images were compressed into JPEG 2000 with ratios of 10 levels from 5:1 to 50:1. To evaluate the lesion detectability, the images were graded with 5 levels (1 : definitely absent; 2: probably absent; 3: equivocal; 4: probably present; 5: definitely present), and then receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed using the original image as a gold standard. Also to evaluate subjectively the image quality, the images were graded with 5 levels (1 definitely unacceptable; 2: probably unacceptable; 3: equivocal, 4: probably acceptable; 5· definitely acceptable), and then paired t-test was performed. Results : In Digora, CR panoramic and CT images, compressed images up to ratios of 15 : 1 showed nearly the same lesion detectability as original images, and in MR images, compressed images did up to ratios of 25 : 1. In Digora and CR panoramic Images, compressed images up to ratios of 5 : 1 showed little difference between the original and reconstructed images in subjective assessment of image quality In CT images, compressed images did up to ratios of 10: 1 and in MR images up to ratios of 15 : 1 Conclusion : We considered compression ratios up to 5 : 1 in Digora and CR panoramic images, up to 10 : 1 in CT images, up to 15 : 1 in MR images as clinically applicable compression ratios.

Problems This study was aimed to find out the effects of Kindergarten education on primary school child's learning achievement and it's continuance. The specific question to be investigated in this study can he summarized as follows. 1. How did the kindergarten education effect upon primary school child's learning achievement and behavioral development? 2. How did the differences of learning achievement and behavioral development between groups of children attending kindergarten and not attending kindergarten? Methods 1. Subjects One hundred and twenty children of sixth grade and one hundred primary school's teachers were employed 1) Sixty of children were experimented groups who had received kindergarten education. Sixty of Children are Control group who had not received Kindergarten education. The subjects were sampled in N primary school in seoul and Y primary school in Taejeon. Sixty of children were boys and sixty of children were girls. 2) Fifty of teachers were sampled in N primary school in Seoul and Fifty of teachers were sampled in Y primary school in Taejeon. 2. Instrument 1) School cumulative record. School cumulative record was referred to find out the differences of school records on learning achievement in morality, National language, social studies, arithmatics, natural science, gymnastics, music, fine arts and behavioral development in industry, responsibility, coorperation, indeperdence, law abiding spirit between experimental group and control group. 2) Questionnaire paper which constructed 10 articles. Questionnaire paper asked to primary school teachers for effects of kindergarten education. Results The results of date analysis can summarized as follows. 1. Kindergarten education, generally, is regarded effective at least for school work achievement but not so effective for morality and physical education. 2. Kindergarten education is not so effective in all school works of primary school in its continuance since its effectiveness begins to fade away from the 4th grade of primary school. But such continuance tends to be outstanding especially in national language, social subjects and arts. 3. The experiences of kindergarten education is not much helpful to behavioral development during primary school. 4. Primary school teachers recognize that kindergarten education contributes to curriculum work and behavioral development for primary school children.

Objective: Evaluation and assessment of response rate, duration and toxicity in patients subjected to 5-FU based chemotherapy. Background: The therapeutic ratio shifts with different 5FU/LV regimens and none yet serve as the internationally accepted Gold Standard. A bimonthly regimen of high dose leucovorin is reported to be less toxic and more effective than monthly low dose regimens. We here compare therapeutic responses and survival benefit of the two regimens in poor prognosis patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma. Patients and Methods: A total of 35 patients with histologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma were subjected to de Gramont and Mayo Clinic regimen. Nineteen patients were treated with high dose folinic acid ($200mg/m^2$), glucose 5%, 5-FU ($400mg/m^2$) and 22 hr. CIV ($600mg/m^2$) for two consecutive days every two weeks. These patients had failed responses to previous chemotherapy and were above sixty years of age with poor general status. Sixteen patients (six below 60 years) with progressive disease were subjected to low dose folinic acid ($20mg/m^2$)for five days, 5FU($425mg/m^2$) injection bolus for 5 days, every five weeks. An initial evaluation was made in sixty days and responders were reevaluated at sixty days interval or earlier in case of clinical impairment. Based on positive prognosis, the therapy was continued. Evaluation of treatment response was made on the basis of WHO criteria. Results: The response rate was 44% in thirty four evaluable patients, with 4 complete responses (11.8%) and 11 (32.4%) partial responses. The two schedules were well tolerated, whereas, mild toxicity without WHO Grade ${\geq}2$ events was assessed. The response duration was extended (12 months) in a few patients with age above sixty years treated by high dose bimonthly regimen of 5FU/LV. Conclusion: The regimens are safe and effective in advanced colorectal carcinoma patients with poor general status.

During 12 years period from 1974 to 1985, 76 valve replacement procedures were performed at Seoul National University Hospital in 67 pediatric patients aging up to 15 years [mean 12.3 years] and it was 7.3% of total valve replacement procedures in same period. Sixty seven patients were composed of 44 males and 23 females. Of the 67 patients, 43 patients had acquired valve lesions and 24 patients congenital valve lesions. Sixty cases received single valve replacement, 7 cases double or triple valve replacement and 9 cases redo-valve replacement. Sixty seven patients received 84 valves [65 bioprosthetic valves and 19 prosthetic valves by] 76 operations, Sixty three of 65 bioprosthetic valves had been replaced before 1983 and 15 of 19 prosthetic valves in recent 2 years. Eleven patients [14.6%] died within one month post-operatively and 8 patients [10.5%] during the follow-up period with the overall mortality rate of 25.1%. There were early post-operative complication of 23 cases [30.3%] and late post-operative complication of 27 cases [35.3%] with the total complication rate of 65.8%. In 58 patients received bioprosthetic valves, there were 14 cases of restenosis of replaced valves. Of the 14 cases of bioprosthetic valve restenosis, 8 cases received redo-valve replacement procedures without mortality in 1 5/12-5 years after initial operation but 4 cases died without reoperation and 2 cases lost during follow-up. The overall mortality and complication rate were still high but they markedly decreased during recent 2 years. So, in spite of its containing many problems, valve replacement in children is becoming safe and useful procedure in whom valve reconstructive procedures are impossible.
