한국산 도롱뇽(Hynobius leechii) 유생의 다리 발생 과정을 관찰하고 잠재적 돌연변이 유발물질인 제-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG)과 잠재적 기형 유발물질인 retinol palmitate가 다리 발생에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 정상적인 개체에서 됫다리의 발생 단계는 외부와 내부의 형태적 특징을 기준으로 하여 7단계로 나누어 볼 수 있었으며 전연골세포의 밀집에 따른 골격형성은 다리 발생아의 근위부에서 시작하여 원위부로 진행됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 도롱뇽 유생을 MNNG(10 rpm)나 retinol palmitate(37.5 lpm)로 처리한 경우, 공통적으로 다리 원위부의 골격 형성이 억제되었으며, 특히 이러한 골격 형성 억제 현상은 처리시기가 이를수록 보다 심하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 발생을 저해하는 물질에 대한 미분화 상태의 세포들의 반응성이 발생과정 중 특정 단계에 국한됨을 시사하는 것으로 해석된다.

Rockfish, Sebastes inermis is a ovoviviparous fish distributed around the coastal waters of Korea and Japan. Naturally beared larvae obtained from female fish kept in the aquarium were reared for three months in the laboratory. The naturally healed larvae were 6.05mm in average total length(TL) with $8+18{\sim}19=26{\sim}27$ myomeres. Melanophores were distributed on the top of head, around the intestine tube and on the dorsal and ventral margins of the tail, but none on the pectoral fins. The larva(7.1mm in TL) consumed all the yolk and oil globule, in 7 days after bearing, and jaw bones were more rapidly ossified than vertebrae and cranium. In 21 days after bearing, the larvae averaged 8.50mm in TL and the caudal notochord flex $45^{\circ}$. Fin development in S. inermis larvae proceeds in the following sequence: caudal, pectoral, dorsal, anal and ventral fin. Individuals $17.6{\sim}20.8mm$ in TL($65{\sim}69$ days after bearing) are regarded as the juvenile stage. All fins bones was nearly completed in this stage.

The mechanical system of wearable walking assist robot needs to be optimized for adapting with human body structure and the planned control algorithm should have a secure procedure when a incongruity situation which can cause musculoskeletal injury occurs because a wearable robot is attached to a body. The understanding of walking or musculoskeletal motions characteristics must be preceeded and analyzed for developing novel wearable walking assist robot. In this study we tried to find out the capacities of powers and torques of joint actuators to design optimized performances of system and to obtain the analysis data to figure out the characteristics of joint movements during some types of walk. The major types of walk and motion are stair climbing and descending, sit-to-stand motion, and slope walking. In this study all these motions were analyzed experimentally except slope walking.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the skeletal and dental maturity according to the vertical facial type and sex in Korean children in the developmental stage. In total, 184 participants aged 8 - 14 years were selected and divided into three groups based on the mandibular plane angle. For the comparison between the sexes, the three groups were each divided into male and female subgroups. The skeletal and dental maturity were assessed using lateral cephalograms, hand-wrist radiographs and panoramic radiographs. The vertical growth group showed significantly greater cervical vertebral and hand-wrist maturity than that in the horizontal growth group. Dental maturity was the highest in the vertical growth group. Girls showed greater skeletal maturity than boys, and no distinct difference was observed between the dental maturity of the sexes. Analysis of the vertical facial type in children can provide ancillary indicators that may help determine the optimal timing for orthodontic treatment initiation. Earlier initiation of orthodontic treatment may be considered for patients with vertical facial growth patterns.

This study was performed to compare the pattern of dentoalveolar characteristics in different vertical and anteroposterior skeletal types in skeletal Class III malocclusion. The samples selected for this study were consisted of 60 subjects(29 males and 31 females, mean age; 19.7 years) in Class III group, 43 subjects(14males and 29 females, mean age : 20.5 years) in normal group. The findings of this study were as follows : 1. The IMPA of the Class III group was smaller than that of the Class I group(p<0.01). 2. In the Class III groups, SNB and NtoPog had negative correlation with IMPA(p<0.01). The SNB and NtoPog had correlations with SNU1, FHU1 and PalU1(p<0.01) in the male samples, and in the female samples, the SNB and NtoPog had correlations with SNU1(p<0.01). 3. In the Class III male samples, SNMP, FMA, PalMP had negative correlation with IMPA(p<0.01). SNMP, FMA, PalMP had not significant correlation with SNU1, FHU1, PalU1. In the Class III female samples, FMA, PalMP had negative correlation with IMPA(p<0.01). 4. In the high angle group of Class III samples, SNU1, IMPA is smaller than that of low angle group of Class III samples(p<0.05).

Aims: The present study investigated the relationship between condylar resorption and craniofacial skeleton types(especially vertical relationships), the differences of craniofacial skeleton types between with open bite group and without open bite group, and the associations of anterior disc dislocation with or without reduction to condylar resorption with MRI. Patients selection and methods: Clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), panorama, lateral transcranial and lateral cephalometric radiographs in 34 patients with condylar resorption were used to investigate this relationship. Results and Conclusions: Patients with the following specific facial morphologic characteristics appear to be most susceptible to condylar resorption: (1) females were predominant, (2) patients' age ranged from 12 to 50 years old with a strong predominance for 2nd and 3rd decades, (3) patients had high mandibular plane angle and high gonial angle, (4) patients had decreased vertical height of the ramus, (5) patients had generally significant antegonial notch, (6) patients had predominance of Class I occlusal relationship with or without open bite but mandible was retruded as mean ANB 5.54 degrees, (7) condylar resorption rarely occurs in lower mandibular plane angle facial types, (8) although no statistically significant difference was found, the open bite group had a tendency more hyperdivergent skeletal pattern than the non open bite group, and (9) imaging demonstrates from small resorbing condyles to idiopathic condylar resorption and TMJ articular disc dislocations. Thus, morphologic features of patients with vertical discrepancies may represent a risk factor for the development of condylar resorption.

Although there is a severe underlying skeletal deformity, the dentition has often maintained some occlusal contact and interdigitation by the teeth compensating in their positions for the skeletal problem, and these dental compensations are manifested in all three planes of space. The purposes of present investigation were 1) to study the pattern of dentoalveolar compensation of hyperdivergent skeletal pattern , and 2) to compare the dentoalveolar compensations of hyperdivergent skeletal pattern in children with adults. The samples selected for this study were consisted of 60 subjects in normal group, 60 subjects in hyperdivergent group. Each was divided into two subgroups by age ; child groups($8\~12yr$ old) and adult groups(17yr old over). The findings of this study were as follows; 1. In child, hyperdivergent subjects had smaller posterior lower facial height(p<0.01) and slightly longer anterior lower facial height than normal ones. In adults, they still expressed smaller posterior lower facial height and much longer anterior lower facial height than normal ones(p<0.01). 2. Hyperdivergent subjects had larger amount of upper and lower incisor relative eruption to their basal bone length than normal ones(p<0.05). In adult, relative eruption of upper incisor was increasing(p<0.05), although relative eruption of lower incisor remained the same as the child. 3. In child, there was no difference between hyperdivergent group and nomal one in the upper and lower molar relative eruption to their basal bone length. In adult, hyperdivergent group had target amount of upper molar relative eruption than normal ones(p<0.01), but relative eruption of lower molar was similar to normal ones. 4. Hyperdivergent group had larger angle between lower occlusal plane and mandibular plane than normal group(p<0.01). Upper occlusal plane of adult groups rotated more antero-superiorly than child groups, and adult hyperdivergent group had sleeper upper occlusal plane than normal group(p<0.05).

This study was undertaken to investigate the distribution of the chewing side preference and variations in the maximum bite force and facial morphology according to chewing side preference since unilateral chewing may cause morphologic and functional anomalies. 50 dental students who had no signs or symptoms of masticatory system and Angle's Class I relationship in posterior segments were selected, and divided into two groups, that is, 25 in bilateral chewing group(19 male and 6 female) and 25 in unilateral chewing group(10 male and 15 female). Maximum bite force was estimated ana posteroanterior cephalogram were measured ana statistically analyzed. The results were as follows : 1. Their were more students with bilateral chewing side preference($68\%$) and unilateral chewing side group consisted of right side preference($68\%$) and left side preference($32\%$). 2. There was no significant difference in the strength of max. bite force between the right and left side in bilateral chewing group. The bite force of the chewing side nab greater in the unilateral chewing group but less in the non-chewing side compared to those of bilateral chewing group with Bo significant difference. Max. bite force of chewing side was greater than that of non-chewing side in the unilateral chewing group(Female p<0.05). Max. bite force of males was about twice in that of females in both groups(p<0.05). Max. bite force of chewing side of the unilateral chewing group was similar to that of the bilateral chewing group, but that of non-chewing side was less than that of the bilateral chewing group. 3. In comparison of the facial morphology, there was no statistically significant difference in the size between the right and left side of the bilateral chewing group and between chewing and non-chewing side of the unilateral chewing group.

Enlow's counterpart analysis explains the complex with anatomic and developmental characteristics where craniofacial aspect of individuals has been developed. The analysis does not compare individual measurement with the normal value from the average of majority but analyzes by comparison of values that each individual has. This study was to clarify the Korean craniofacial skeletal pattern using Enlow's counterpart analysis considering the fact that the craniofacial skeletal pattern has racial and regional variations. This research will be helpful in the future for growth research and research of the orthognathic surgery. For this study, the samples were consisted of 100 Korean adult subjects(50 males and 50 females) who had normal occlusion and pleasing face. Measurement points and lines were established using Enlow's counterpart analysis and they were statistically evaluated. The results indicated that : 1. The average angle between PCF and PMV was $38.54^{\circ}$ in males and $38.43^{\circ}$ in females, and the average Wits' appraisal was -2.51 in males and -2.3 in females. The ramus alignment(R4) was 1.89 in males and 2.36 in females. 2. It shows that females have a longer ramus than the PCF compared to the males, because there was a significant difference in Ramus/PCF horizontal dimensions (Skeletal A3-B3) between female and male subjects 3. It shows that males have a longer mandibular corpus than the maxilla compared to the females, because there was a significant difference in Maxillary/Mandibular arches(Skeletal A4-B4) between male and female subjects 4. In cranial floor+maxilla/ramus+corpus at A and B points(Al-Bl), which represents difference in total horizontal length between the maxilla and mandible, there was no significant difference between males and females. In conclusions, compared to Caucasian, Korean have more depressed midface, prognathic mandible, and ramus that rotates inferioposterior. Also, we observe that Korean women have target ramus posterior cranial base, as compared with Korean men. Consequently, the total length of maxilla and mandible does not show any difference, because man's mandible is longer than maxilla in comparison with woman's one.
