Ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicating an acute myocardial infarction is rather uncommon. However, the outcomes after the development of a VSD are poor with an in-hospital mortality of more than 90% for the medically treated patients. To prevent the recurrence of VSD, many techniques have been reported on for the closure of a postinfarction VSD. In this. report, we present a case of a patient who had a postinfarction VSD due to Prinzmetai's variant angina, and the rupture of the pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle was successfully treated by the "Sandwich technique".

Tissue expansion has now been widely used in various soft tissue defects and deformities. It is to reconstruct the lesion site by providing donor tissue of the same color, texture, and similar thickness and sensation with minimal scar formation and minor donor site morbidity. It is achieved through using a temporary expander capable of accumulating normal saline. Internal pressure from expander exerts its force on the flap, which gradually expands to provide additional tissue for reconstruction. We have applied tissue expander in three patients. The first case was soft tissue loss on the left forehead. The second case was multiple scar formation on the left mandibular angle and upper cervical area. The third case was scar contraction on the right cheek. All cases have been successfully reconstructed without complications.

The surgical reconstruction of major defects of the head and neck such as those following accidental injuries or resection of tumors has been facilitated and advanced by the development of myocutaneous flaps which provide both muscle bulk and skin coverage. Of the many available myocutaneous flaps, the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap has many advantages such as abundant tissue with an excellent vascularity, anatomic proximity, long arc of rotation, reliability and versatility, so it is used most frequently in head and neck reconstruction. It is the purpose of this paper to present our experiences with two cases of pectoralis major myocutaneous island flaps used in reconstruction of major defects of face; one is after resection of very large basal cell carcinoma of the left oral commissure and the other is after resection of a huge fibrous mass and destructed facial bones caused by chronic osteomyelitis.

We report 2 cases of midface defect reconstructed with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap. In these cases, the main points to cover the defects were as follows ; 1. For the contour of zygoma and maxilla, it was well preserved without bone graft which was not used for second stage reconstruction. In first case, for application of artificial eye and in second case, for, operation after full development. 2. For the drainage of paranasal sinuses, we made the nostril with skin graft, and it was well preserved without any complications during follow up. 3. It was sufficient to cover the defect with latissimus dorsi muscle well designed before surgery and thick enough to fill the defect. 4. In second case, the remained defect of palate and maxilla was not covered for the appropriate reconstructions after full development. In conclusions, we experienced two cases of midface defect reconstructed with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap without any complication and with good results.

There have been a great number of developments in clinical techniques and dental materials in dentistry to date. Looking at these developments, while it could be seen that functional elements such as mastication were prioritized rather than aesthetic aspect in the past, aesthetic needs of patients have steadily increased over time and accordingly the aesthetic has become considered a priority in the development of dentistry. Although the first to be considered in discussing the aesthetic in clinical dentistry will be the white aesthetic that is the tooth part of prosthesis, the pink aesthetic that refers to the harmony of such prosthesis with gingiva can be an important consideration not to be ignored aesthetically. However, the harmony with the gingiva often cannot be obtained only by the beautiful prosthesis, and in particular, the pontic and implant areas have poor conditions to achieve the gingival (pink) aesthetic due to the absorption of alveolar ridge compared to natural teeth. Among the most important elements of the gingival aesthetic are the gingival level and the interproximal papilla height. It is very difficult to make the gingival aesthetic in the case of insufficient alveolar ridge, and the recovery of ridge volume and contour is necessary in order to overcome this condition. To this end, the most widely used method is the "connective tissue graft". Many techniques of the connective tissue graft have already been introduced for the ridge augmentation, and each technique has different purposes, and advantages and disadvantages. Rather, due to the excessive amount of techniques, there is confusion about selecting the right technique at a certain time. However, the goal is clear. Ways to increase the success rates must be found, and at the same time, a more favorable way to the gingival aesthetic is to be chosen. Thus, in this study, considerations for the gingival aesthetic that makes harmony and the techniques to achieve it are discussed.

We have discussed that the total body irradiation(TBI) dose distribution of 6 and 10 MV photon beams, also differences between calculation dose use of compensator sheet and measurements in humanoid phantom. Total body irradiation and hemi-body irradiation(HBI) can be effectively performed when uniformity of dose distribution is estabilished. The method of TBI and HBI dosimatry requires special considerations related to technique, long distance and very large field, machine parameter, patient positioning. TBI and HBI with megavoltage photon beams requires basic dosimatric data which have to be measured directly or derived from the standard beam data. The semiconductor detector and ion chamber were positioned at a dmax depth, mid depth, and its specific ratio was determined using a scanning data by RFA-7 3-dimensional water phantom and solid phantom. The effective source axis distance 380 cm, the field size from 120 cm to 152 cm, isodose distributions were analyzed as a function of the thickness in phantom. Also, have discussed that the measurement of basic data for clinical photon beams for dosage calculations, data calculation sheet and the use of tissue compensation to improve dose uniformity. We have improved a dose uniformity in the TBI and HBI method.
