Purpose: For a minor degree of mandibular prognathism, mandibular anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO), usually extracting the bilateral premolars, has been performed frequently to correct malocclusion of the anterior teeth. Preoperative planning using cephalometry and a dental model is very important for such a orthognathic surgery. Depending on the specific preoperative mock surgery with the dental model, ASO, with ipsilateral unitooth extraction, is defined to be feasible and performed for ten patients. The comparisons of its preoperative and postoperative analysis of clinical photographs, dental casts, and lateral cephalograms, for soft tissue profiles, skeletal and dental relationships are described in the following, and its clinical applications are noted. Methods: From March 1, 2004, to March 31, 2006, We performed 10 mandibular ASO by extraction of ipsilateral unitooth to improve their lower facial profiles and the lip relationships. Patient age ranged from 19 to 33 years, with a mean age of 25.6 years. Two were males and eight were females. Results: All patients were satisfied with aesthetic and occlusal changes postoperatively. Significant and persistent decrease in the SNB and interincisal angle were observed in the postoperative cephalometries. The soft tissue profiles also were improved and near Ricketts's esthetic line. Other combined procedures include nine genioplasties, two rhinoplasties, and one blepharoplasty. One patient complained of transient unilateral inferior mental nerve paresthesia. There were no other significant complications or relapses throughout the follow-up period(6-20 months). Conclusion: Mandibular ASO, extracting the ipsilateral unitooth, was performed for ten patients to correct mild mandibular prognathism. The amount of setback of the mandibular anterior portion was 2 to 3 mm, and satisfactory results were obtained combined with genioplasties.

본 논문은 VHF 대역을 사용하는 다중-홉 해양통신망에서 실시간 서비스를 제공하기 위해 제안된 DSTS(Dynamic Space-Time Subframe)기반 프레임 구조에서 다수의 MAC PDU로 구성된 데이터를 ASO-TDMA 전송 방식을 사용했을 때 발생되는 지연시간의 분포를 수학적으로 분석하고, 그 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인한다. 또한, 기존 전송방식에서 발생되는 지연시간을 단축시키는 동시에 시스템의 수율을 최대화하기 위한 연속적인 자원 할당 방식과 적응적 전송 확률 제어 방식을 제안하고, 기존 방식과 수율 성능을 비교한다. 이를 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 DSTS 프레임 구조에서 다수의 MAC PDU에 대해서도 실시간 전송이 가능하고, 또한 수율 성능을 극대화할 수 있음을 보인다.

아소 화산은 일본 규슈 중앙부에 위치하며, 세계에서 가장 큰 칼데라 화산중의 하나이다. 나카다케 분화구는 아소 칼데라의 중앙 화구군에서 유일한 활동적인 화산체이다. 2016년 10월 8일 아소 산에서 36년 만에 폭발적인 분화가 발생하였으며, 분연주가 11 km 상공까지 상승하였고 화산재는 최대 300 km 떨어진 지역에서도 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 미국 USGS에서 개발한 Ash3D모델을 이용하여 2016년 10월 8일의 분화에서 발생한 화산재의 확산과 침적에 대한 수치모의를 실시하였다. 수치모의 결과 분화에 의해 발생한 화산재는 아소 칼데라 화산의 동쪽과 북동쪽으로 확산되어 우리나라에는 피해를 주지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 동북동 방향으로 최대 400 km 이상 먼 곳까지 침적되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 수치모의 결과는 관측 확인된 화산재 침적 결과와 대체로 일치하였다. 빠른 화산재 재해 예보를 위하여 Ash3D를 이용한 수치모의가 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것이다.

목 적: 소아의 가와사끼병에서 급성기 항염치료는 고용량의 IVIG와 경구용 아스피린의 병합투여가 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 초기 항염치료에 반응을 보이지 않은 경우에는 IVIG의 추가투여나 스테로이드가 사용될 수 있으며 발열기간과 입원기간이 길어질 수 있다. 관련인자로서 환자의 나이, 성별, 발열-치료 간격과 백혈구수, CRP 등이 연관될 수 있다는 보고가 있었다. 저자들은 이러한 초기 치료실패에 임상적 또는 검사소견상의 관련인자가 있는가를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 6월부터 2002년 6월까지 만 5년간 원광대학교병원 소아과에서 가와사끼병으로 입원하여 치료받았던 177명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적으로 조사하였다. 1회의 투여로 반응을 보이지 않은 군(A군, n=19)과 반응을 보였던 대조군(B군, n=158)에서 나이와 성별, 발열에서 입원까지의 기간(hr)을 비교하였다. 입원 당시와 발병 6주째에 백혈구수와 혈소판, ESR, CRP, AST/ALT, ASO치, 소변검사, 관상동맥 심초음파 검사를 시행하여 비교하였다. 통계적 비교는 chi-square와 t-test를 이용하였다. 결 과 : 초기치료에 반응하지 않은 환아는 177례 중 19례(10.7%)였다. 나이와 성별, 백혈구수, 농뇨, 관상동맥의 이상에서는 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 재치료군에서는 발열-입원 기간(hr)이 유의하게 짧았으며(P=0.041), AST/ALT치의 동반 상승(P=0.011), ASO치의 상승(P=0.000)이 관찰되었다. 결 론 : 백혈구수와 ESR, CRP의 증가나 AST, ALT가 따로 상승한 경우, 농뇨의 존재 여부에서는 재치료율과 관계가 없었다. 반면에, 발열-입원 기간이 짧았던 경우와 AST/ALT의 동시상승, ASO치 상승군에서 재치료율이 유의하게 높았다. 향후, AST/ALT치와 ASO치의 관련성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO) in bimaxillary protrusion (BP) patients by comparison between the mandibular soft and hard tissue changes from orthodontic treatment and ASO. Methods: All 44 patients were diagnosed with BP in Kyung-Hee Medical Center. Orthodontic treatment with teeth extractions were underwent by 23 patients (Group A) and 21 patients underwent ASO (Group B). Mandibular soft and hard tissue changes were measured and evaluated, which were based on the vertical and horizontal reference line in lateral cephalometric radiographs. Statistical significance between the changes and correlation between each measurement were analyzed. Results: The amount of B point movement was lesser than that of the lower incisal tip (LIT) retraction, and LIT was tilted lingually in group A. The posterior movement discrepancy between LIT and B point was insignificant, and the inclination of lower incisor was not changed in group B. The soft tissues, including the lower lip, showed a posterior movement and reduction in the depth of mento-labial groove. According to the correlation analysis, the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to the movement of the lower lip in group A, and the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to that of the movement of lower lip, B point and Pog in group B. Conclusion: The orthodontic treatment in BP patients results in posterior tilting movement of the lower incisor, but ASO results in the bodily movement of the lower incisor. Consequently, ASO is more effective in BP cases because it ensures the controlled movement of the lower incisors.

In this review, we present the results of our ten years of study on beef cattle production as a means of preserving phytodiversity and landscape in the semi-natural grasslands of the Aso region of Japan. There are about 16,000 ha of semi-natural grasslands in the region. The grasslands are maintained for animal production through such activities as grazing, mowing, and controlled burning. The Shannon's diversity index values, as measured in the present study, were higher in the grazed sites than in the abandoned sites. The grazing activities thus seem to create suitable habitats for coexisting herbaceous species. The grassland grazed moderately over a long term was able to sustain more animals than the grassland unused over a long term.

Esterification reaction between succinic acid[SA] and 1,4-butanediol [BD} was kinetically investigated in the presence of organic metal catalysts (alkyl-silver oxide(ASO),CAT 100E) at $150{\sim}190^{\circ}C$. The reaction rates measured by the amount of distilled water from the reaction vessel. The esterification reaction was carried out under the first order kinetics with respect to the concentration of reactants and catalyst, respectively. The overall reaction order was 2nd. From the examination of relationship between apparent reaction rate constants and reciprocal absolute temperature, the activation energy has been calculate as 146.70 kJ/mol with ASO catalyst and 43.04 kJ/mol with CAT 100E catalyst.

There have been few reports documenting the outcome of arterial swich operations(ASO) in selected patients with transposition of great arteries(TGA) and with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction(LVOTO). In the case of TGA with LVOTO, if the atrial septal defect(ASD) is large and the ventricular septal defect(VSD) is restricive, this deprives the left ventricle(LV) of approporiate preload and could lead to underdevelopment of the ventircular mass and lead poor LV performance after the arterial switch operation, dspite a high pressure in the LV preoperatively. Because an increase in the systolic ventricular pressure is not necessarily paralleled by an increase in ventricular mass, which is also essential for optimal ventricular performance after the operation. We report here a case of rapid LV training after ASO in TGA with unprepared LV (because of large ASD and restrictive VSD) despite a high pressure in the LV(due to LVOTO) preoperatively.

Prognosis in relapsed metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (RM-HNSCC) is dismal. Platinum based chemotherapy in combination with Cetuximab is used in first-line setting, while no further validated options are available at progression. Immunotherapy has produced durable clinical benefit in some patients with RM-HNSCC although the premises are several patients are nonresponders. Studies are ongoing to determine predictive factors and the ideal setting/combination of novel immunotherapies. In this paper, we discuss the past and present of immunotherapy in head and neck cancer and provide an up-to-date information regarding the potential ways to improve immunotherapy outcomes in HNSCC.
