This study is based on the pedagogical aspect that both connections of mathematical concepts and a geometric approach enhance the understanding of structures in school mathematics. This study is to investigate the graphical properties of quadratic functions such as symmetry, coordinates of vertex, intercepts and congruency through the geometric properties of graphs of linear functions. From this investigation this study would give suggestions on a new pedagogical perspective about current teaching and learning methods of quadratic function graphs which is focused on routine algebraic transformation of the completing squares. In addition, this study would provide the topic of quadratic function graphs with the understanding of geometric perspective.

The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of the headache attributed to Temporomandibular disorder(TMD) symptoms and to investigate the relationships of headache and TMD. 66 patients seeking care for signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular disorders(TMD) and Orofacial pain in the department of oral medicine, Dental Hospital, Chosun University, from January, 2008 to June, 2008, were recruited. The obtained results were as follows : 1. A muscle and TMJ origin combined was the most common in study populations(54.55%), grouped as TMD classification. 2. Tension type headache was the most common in study population(89.39%), grouped as headache classification. 3. 36 patients out of 66(54.55%) had headaches which related to TMD. 4. Out of 36 patients who had suffered the headache which were attributed to TMD, 19 patients(52.78%) described that their headache related to TMD was different from their own primary headaches. In conclusion, headache attributed to TMD is relatively common in the patients who had headaches and TMD symptoms together. And the new headache patterns may related to headache and TMD chronification. Larger-scale studies and more specified and controlled comparison study is needed to confirm the relationship between the headache and TMD.

파단전 누수균열을 일으키는 가장 주요한 파손 형태는 피로파손으로 사료되어, 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다. 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관은 발전로에 비해 저온, 저압이므로 ASME Class 3 로 분류되어 설계 완료되었지만 Class 3 절차에 의해서는 피로해석을 구체적으로 수행할 수 없어, 본 연구의 피로해석에 서는 Class 1 절차에 따라 피크응력강도의 범위를 보수적으로 계산하여 피로누적계수를 산정하였다. 일차냉각계통 배관 중에서 피로파괴 가능성이 가장 큰 것으로 예상되는 고응력 지점을 배관응력해석 결과로부터 선택하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 선택된 분기관 연결부, 앵커 지점 및 butt 용접부의 피로누적계수들이 모두 1 보다 훨씬 작았으므로 열평창과 OBE 지진하중으로 인한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성은 매우 희박한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 냉각재 상실시 파단전 누수균열 개념을 적용하기 위한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손에 대한 배관의 건전성은 충분히 입증된 것으로 판단된다.

Primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma is a rare type of serous carcinoma that is characterized by the massive formation of psammoma bodies and the invasion of adjacent organs. A 55-year-old female who previously underwent a hysterectomy presented to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed an intra-abdominal calcific mass. Initially, it was thought to be a heterotopic ossification due to the previous pelvic surgery with intact ovaries. However, this was diagnosed as a primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma. Primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma is a very rare disease entity that should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with normal ovaries, massive ossification in the pelvic cavity, and calcific peritoneal nodules.

Physiochemical factors, phytoplankton biomass (Chl ${\alpha}$) and primary productivity were investigated seasonally in the three lakes of Dongbok, Juam, and Yeongsan during April 2004${\sim}$March 2006. Microphytoplankton dominated (>60%) in Dongbok lake, and phytoplankton biomass was high in the upper area, especially during April 2004, whereas they were high in the lower area during June 2004. In Juam lake, the high phytoplankton biomass in April 2004 was contributed by nanophytoplankton. In Yeongsan lake, chlorophyll a was high in August with high contribution of nanophytoplankton. Primary production was highest in Dongbok lake, and then followed by Yeongsan and Juam lakes. Regression analysis in Dongbok take showed that Chl ${\alpha}$ and primary production had close relations with secchi depth. In Juam lake, phosphate were correlated with the Chl ${\alpha}$, while temperature and TN was correlated with primary production in the lower area. In Yeongsan lake, Chl ${\alpha}$ have positively correlation with TN/TP. Primary production in the upper have high relationship with secchi depth, however, in the lower have high relationship with turbidity. Linear regression analysis showed that nutrients of nitrogen and phosphorus should be reduced for the protections in Juam and Dongbok lakes. We suggested that suspended solids and phytoplankton growth related to turbidity are needed to manage in Yeongsan lake.

Tuberculosis is primarily a pulmonary disease and extrapulmonary involvement of the oral cavity is an infrequent occurrence accounting for 0.2 - 1.5% of all extrapulmonary sites. The authors report a case of primary tuberculosis of the oral tongue in a 60-years-old male patient who visited the clinic for ongoing tongue pain that he experienced for several months. The lesion was initially indistinguishable from the malignancy, but differential diagnosis was performed on the biopsy with Ziehl-Neelseen stain. After treatment with anti-tuberculosis, the oral lesion healed completely without surgery.

Usually, Bullectomy with VATS requires three ports on a chest wall for thoracosope, endo lung grasper, and endo auto-suture. However, in some case, the author could successfully accomplish operation using the endo-loop through two ports on a chest wall. The technique reduces postoperative pain and decreases operative wound.

Purpose: To compare clinical outcome of Sanders type IV intra-articular calcaneal fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus ORIF and primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA). Materials and Methods: Between March 2003 and November 2013, 22 patients with 22 Sanders type 4 intra-articular calcaneal fractures were included in this study. Of these, 11 were treated with ORIF (ORIF group), and 11 were treated with ORIF and PSTA (PSTA group). The mean follow-up period was 34.6 months (range, 18-72 months). Clinical outcomes were assessed along with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society's ankle-hindfoot scale (AOFAS score), and the visual analogue scale pain score (VAS score) at 6-month, 12-month, and last follow-up. Patient satisfaction, return to previous occupation and postoperative complications were also investigated. Results: The results for ORIF did not differ from those for PSTA based on the last follow-up AOFAS scores or the VAS scores (p>0.05). However, patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the PSTA group (p=0.008). Secondary subtalar arthrodesis was conducted in five patients (45.5%) of the ORIF group within 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: We were unable to demonstrate a significant difference in clinical outcomes between ORIF and PSTA; however, the patient satisfaction was higher in the PSTA group. PSTA may be a suitable choice for patients who need fast recovery to daily activity and to prevent the need for secondary subtalar arthrodesis.

The cause of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is obvious. Recently, the FLCN mutation was suggested to be a causal factor in PSP. A 47-year-old Korean male patient with chief complaint of repetitive PSP had numerous emphysematous bullae and multiple large cysts based upon high resolution computer tomography. Here we report a case of PSP with an FLCN c.468_470delTTC mutation.
