The aim of this study was to investigate the shapes and diameters of the physiological foramen and anatomy of the root canal at 3mm from apex in mandibular first molars. Sixty mandibular first molars were randomly selected. The apical anatomy of 60 mandibular first molars was investigated by means of a stereo microscope (60x magnification). The results were as follows; 1. There was a high percentage of two physiological foramina in mesial (61.67%) and one foramen in distal(71.66%) roots of mandibular first molars. 2. There was a high frequency of accessory foramina in mesial roots with one foramen (26.07%). 3. The diameters of physiological foramen was as follows: - 0.329mm in single mesial foramen - 0.266mm in mesiobuccal foramen and 0.246mm in mesiolingual foramen - 0.375mm in single distal foramen - 0.291mm in distobuccal foramen and 0.237mm in distolingual foramen 4. The most common physiological foramen shape was oval (69.93%). 5. The incidence of isthmus in mesial root at 3mm from apex was 55%. The 3mm-sections contained a complete isthmus 31.66% and a partial isthmus 23.34%. 6. 3mm from the apex, the most common canal shape was oval (50.64%). Knowledge of the apical anatomy of mandibular first molar would be necessary for success of surgical and nonsurgical endodontic treatment.

본 논문은 ATM LAN 시스템의 NEXT(near-end crosstalk) 억제에 관한 연구로서, cyclostationary 근단 누화신혼(NEXT)가 존재하는 경우, NEXT 억제를 수행하는 PS-FSE (phase-splitting fractionally spaced equalizer)의 수렴 동작과 성능에 대하여 분석한다. 전체 수렴 속도와 수렴 후 성능은 신호와 근단 누화 신호와의 상대적 클락 페이즈(relative clock phase)에 따라 다르게 나타나고, 이러한 현상은 PS-FSE의 eigenstructure를 통해 설명할수 있다. Cyclostationary 근단 누화 신호과 존재하는 경우 PS-FSE는 stationary 잡음의경우와 다른 eigenstructure를 가진다. PS-FSE의 전체 수렴 속도는 근단 누화 신호 전력 스펙트럼에서 신호와 근단 누화 신호간의 cross 전력 스펙트럼을 뺀 값으로 구해지는 eigenvalue 값에 의해 결정되고, 따라서 신호와 근단 누화 신호간의 correlation에 의해 전체 수렴 속도가 좌우된다.

NLMS 알고리즘을 채용한 음향반향제거기는 주변잡음에 대해서 적응필터의 계수가 오조정되어 반향제거기의 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서 음향반향제거기의 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의 상관도를 이용해서 주변 잡음신호에 의한 계수 오조정이 작은 적응 알고리즘과 잔여반향을 제거하기 위한 후처리기로 구성된 음향 반향 제거기를 제안한다. 기존의 NLMS 알고리즘이 입력신호의전력으로 적응상수를 정규화하지만 제안하는 알고리즘은 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의상관도와 입력신호 전력의 합으로 정규화한다. 적응필터가 반향 경로를 추정한 경우, 추정 오차신호에는 근단화자 신호가 대부분을 차지한다. 따라서 근단화자 신호가 있는 경우에는 상관도 값이 커져서 적응 상수가 작아지고 근단화자 신호에 의한 계수의 오조정을 줄일 수 있다. 후처리기도 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의 상관도를 마이크 입력신호의 전력으로 정규화한 값으로 추정 오차신호를 감쇠시킴으로써 근단화자 신호는 감쇠를 적게 하고 잔여반향을 감쇠시킨다. 멀티미디어 PC를 이용한 실험을 통해서 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘에 비해서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인했다.

In this paper, we propose an effective speech reinforcement technique under the near-end and the far-end noise environments. In general, since the intelligibility of the far-end speech for the near-end listener is significantly reduced under near-end noise environments, we require a far-end speech reinforcement approach to avoid this phenomena. Specifically, based on the estimated background noise spectrum of the near-end, we reinforce the far-end speech spectrum by incorporating the more general cases under the near-end with background noise. Also, we propose the novel approach to reinforce the actual speech signal except for the noise signal in the far-end noisy speech signal. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the CCR (Comparison Category Rating) test of the method for subjective determination of transmission quality in ITU-T P.800 under various noise environments and shows better performances compared with the conventional method.

리기다소나무 추출액을 농도별로 무와 차풀에 처리한 3일 후에 광학현미경을 이용하여 근단세포를 관찰할 경우 6% 처리구에서는 피층세포가 신장되었으나, 25%, 75% 처리구에서는 오히려 세포 표면이 위촉되어 불규칙하게 변화됨으로써 표면부 전체가 심한 굴곡현상을 나타내었다. 특히 차풀에 있어서 75% 처리구의 표피층은 작고 불규칙한 세포들로 상당히 비후되어 있었다. 투과전자현미경으로 근단의 세포를 관찰한 결과 무의 처리구는 대조구에 비하여 표피세포의 원형질막 함입현상이 활발하였고 세포벽은 전자밀도가 높은 과립들이 층상으로 분포해 있었다. 피층세포와 중심주의 유세포에서는 중앙 액포가 발달하였고 지질과립이 감소하였으며 전분형성체가 자주 관찰되었다. 차풀의 처리구는 대조구에 비하여 세포질의 퇴행현상이 심화되었고 일부 잔존한 세포질내에는 중앙 액포가 발달하였는데 그 액포막의 안쪽에는 높은 전자밀도의 물질이 축적되었으며 피층세포와 중심부의 유세포에서는 전분형성체가 뚜렷이 존재하였다.

It is a relatively common clinical experience to see a impacted maxillary central incisor Most often, the central incisor is impacted labially. The labial impaction has been indicated as the most difficult to manage. The labial impactions have been found to be associated with mucogingival recession, reduced attached gingiva and periodontal pockets. For the successful treatment, clinicians should avoid loss of attached gingiva in surgical exposure. The most common methods of uncovering labially impacted maxillary anterior teeth are gingivectomy, apically positioned flap and closed eruption technique. If gingivectomy will not leave enough attached gingiva, then an apically positioned flap may be the treatment of choice. If the tooth is impacted in the middle of the alveolus or high in the vestibule near the nasal spine, the closed eruption technique may be the treatment of choice. Closed eruption technique was used in one case, apically positioned flap was used in two case. As the result in two cases of impacted maxillary central incisor, apically positioned flap provide the adequate width of attached gingiva. In case of impacted maxillary central incisor, through the clinical and radiologic examination to select correct surgical operation for reduce the complications.

In this paper, we propose an effective speech reinforcement technique base on ITU-T G.729A CS-ACELP codec under the near-end background noise environments. In general, since the intelligibility of the far-end speech for the near-end listener is significantly reduced under near-end noise environments, we require a far-end speech reinforcement approach to avoid this phenomena. In contrast to the conventional speech reinforcement algorithm, we reinforce the excitation signal of the codec's parameters received from the far-end speech signal based on the G.729A speech codec under various background noise environments. Specifically, we first estimate the excitation signal of ambient noise at the near-end through the encoder of the G.729A speech codec, reinforcing the excitation signal of the far-end speech transmitted from the far-end. we specially propose a novel approach to directly reinforce the excitation signal of far-end speech signal based on the decoder of the G.729A. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the CCR (Comparison Category Rating) test of the method for subjective determination of transmission quality in ITU-T P.800 under various noise environments and shows better performances compared with conventional SNR Recovery methods.

The one of peri-implant soft tissue problems seen during the maintenance phase of implant therapy is an inadequate zone of keratinized tissue. Keratinized tissue plays a major role around teeth and dental implants, helping in maintaining and facilitating oral hygiene. A free gingival graft (FGG) is chosen to correct the soft tissue defects and provide optimal peri-implant health in order to increase the long-term prognosis of the implant reconstruction. However, the patient treated with FGG has pain and discomfort on donor site such as palate. It is also technically demanding, time consuming, and the color match of the tissue is often less than ideal. An apically positioned flap (APF) is selected for increasing the keratinized tissue simply while or after the second stage implant surgery. This case report shows successfully increasing the width of peri-implant kenratinized tissue through APF procedure on small site of dental implant instead of FGG.

The present work was conducted to examine the effect of tobacco smoke solution, and its components such as nicotine and catechol treated separately on the root tip cells of Allium cepa L The mitotic abnormalities in root tip cells treated with those three components were increased linearly, while the mitotic index was decreased following concentrations of the components. Chromosomal abnormalities showed 29.7%, 15.8% and 13.0% in the treatment of tobacco smoke solution, nicotine, and catechol, respectively. The abonormalities were included polyploid, c-mitosis, stickness at metaphase, laggard, bridge formation at anaphase or telophase, and micronucleus, abnormal nucleus at interphase, after the treatment of the components for 24 hours. hours.
