Destruction of normal temporomandibular joint architechture may produce serious functional and cosmetic deficiencies. The literature is well documented as to the etiology and pathogenesis of temporomandibular joints. Numorous surgical procedure have been advocated for temporomandibular joint ankylosis from condylectomy to arthroplasty, cartilage transplant, metallic prosthesis, interpositional implant. These were to able reconstruct the normal mandibular function, and any even procedure could obtain the satisfactory results. In this paper, we reviewed young adult patient with TMJ ankylosis and facial asymmetry who was treated with metallic condylar prosthesis and orthognathic surgery.

An acellular human dermal matrix (ADM) was applied to wounds from dogs with significant dead space and delayed healing. This treatment is typically effective for the treatment of wounds with subcutaneous dead space and injuries between muscular planes. The size of the dead space defect and the amount of wound discharge decreased rapidly with ADM treatment in the present study. The average time to disappearance of the dead space defect was 10 days. In addition, complications including severe inflammation were not seen in this case report.

The incidence of peripheral arterial disease were as follows that : Arterial injury was in 21 cases(38.2%), arteriosclerosis oblitrans 18cases(32.7%), thromboembolism 9cases(16.4%), Buerger's disease was in 7cases(12.7%). 2. Overall male to female ratio was 6.8 : 1, the prevalent age was 3rd and 4th decade in arterial injury, 7th and 8th decade in atherosclerosis and thromboembolism and 5th and 6th decade in Buerger's disease. 3.

비인두암에서 시행되는 방사선 치료 이후에 구강건조증과 피부 변화는 흔하게 볼 수 있는 합병증 중 하나이다. 비인두암의 좋은 예후를 고려할 때, 그러한 치료와 관련된 독성들은 상대적으로 오랫동안 문제를 야기하며 삶의 질 저하를 불러온다. 특히 류마티스 관절염, 루푸스와 같은 결합조직 질환을 가진 환자들에게서 방사선 치료를 시행하였을 때, 빈번하게 심각한 독성이 관찰된다. 본 증례는 성인형 스틸씨 병에서 병발된 비인두암의 치료로 항암방사선 동시치료를 실시한 결과, 비교적 경미한 구강 건조, 점막염, 불면증 등의 합병증이 관찰되었으나, 완전 관해가 획득되었다. 이에 저자들은 과거에 보고된 적 없는 성인형 스틸씨 병에 병발한 비인두암의 치료 경험을 다른 결합조직질환들에서 방사선 치료의 문헌들과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background and Objectives : Based on histological findings, intracordal cysts are divided in two subtypes : retention cysts and epidermoid cysts. They are typically located in the superficial layer of the lamina propria and appeared as opaque ovoid buldging masses underlying the epithelium. They are characterized by unilateral diminished mucosal wave on stroboscopy. In this article, we report some cases of patients with an oval shaped-yellowish flat cyst. Materials and Method : At the clinic of the department of otorhinolaryngology in Gangnam Severance Hospital, with 3 female complained of hoarseness as subjects, using the stroboscopy we checked preoperative and postoperative vocal cord and operative findings. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia by the senior authors. All patients noted subjectively that their performing voice was improved. Results : During surgery, an oval shaped-yellowish flat cystic lesion was distinguished from normal epithelium. On palpation of this area with microforceps and cottons, the yellowish discharge was noted to move out from the opening of the cyst. In one case, the cyst was ruptured but remove the capsule completely. In other cases, sulcus was noted at the oppsite site. Conclusion : Because of the opening, the cyst was not easy to dissect and remove completely. After the debris was move out, fibrosis around the opening and invaginated epithelium extending into the deeper layers to the fold. The cyst was must removed carefully and completely for improvement of voice quality before evolving into a sulcus vocalis.

Encephalitoozoon cuniculi is an obligate intracellular microsporidian parasite commonly found in rabbits, causing encephalitozoonosis. This organism can also infect a wide range of hosts including humans, which is known to cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. In this case, four rabbits presented with head tilt and nystagmus were diagnosed for E. cuniculi infection using ELISA. The rabbits were treated with fenbendazole for 4 weeks and therapeutic success was evaluated by assessing the neurological symptoms. Three out of 4 rabbits showed improved health condition 3 to 5 days after treatment, but one rabbit showed persistent anorexia and head tilt after treatment and then died after 10 days. This report is the first to investigate the therapeutic response of fenbendazole for rabbit encephalitozoonosis in Korea, and suggests that pet rabbits may serve as potential E. cuniculi reservoirs for both pet animals and humans.

Multiple coronary aneurysms are rare in adults. The cause may be atherosclerosis, congenital malformations, post-traumatic or post-syphilitic vascular lesions, connective tissue diseases like Marfan and Ehler-Danlos syndromes or Kawasaki disease, all of which cause weakening of the media. Surgical intervention is indicated to prevent rupture, embolization or compression symptoms. The successful management of multiple coronary artery. aneurysms, associated with previous rupture and arrhythmia, originating from proximal potions of ramus intermedius and left circumflex artery are reported.
