Consumption of chicken feet has been increasing recently, thus it was necessary to produce good quality of bone less chicken feet. In the process of bone removal during chicken feet production, feeding, conveying, cutting and bone removing process takes about 90% of overall labor. Therefore, the development of a chicken feet-bone remover was necessary to reduce the cost of labor. There has been few research on the chicken feet bone removers so far in Korea as well as worldwide. So the main objective of this study was to develop a chicken feet-bone remover which is suitable for domestic circumstances. The average length of chicken feet was 113.3 mm with maximum and minimum lengths of 135.8 mm and 92.2 mm, and the average diameter of chicken leg was 12.5 mm, average width of the toe was 56.2 mm and the average weight of chicken feet was 26.4 g with maximum and minimum weight of 39.3 g and 16.9 g, respectively. Also, the average moisture content was 64.7% (w.b). The average cutting force of little toes was 15.6 N for the size ranges of less than 3.5 mm, 22.5 N, 3.5~6.0 mm and 30.3 N for larger than 6.0 mm in diameter, respectively.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Preparation of implant beds with lasers is considered a safe and reliable method, but the accuracy of this technique has not been examined. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of implant bed preparation using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An Er,Cr:YSGG laser was applied to pig rib bone. The laser was employed at a 5.75 W power setting, 30 Hz/sec pulse repetition, and 70 ${\mu}s$ pulse duration with 50 % water and 60% air spray. According to laser tips the groups were divided as follows; Group 1: paralleled - shaped sapphire tip (0.6 mm${\Phi}$), Group 2: paralleled - shaped zirconia tip (0.6 mm${\Phi}$), Group 3: tapered sapphire tip (0.4 mm${\Phi}$). The Er,Cr:YSGG laser tip was separated by 1 mm from the bone and applied for 15 seconds in a non-contact mode. After the application, the bone was sectioned for specimens. Histologic measurements were determined by computerized morphometry. The length of the prepared bone surface was measured and the width of the entrance was measured. The results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA (P<0.05). RESULTS: The prepared length of group 3 was longer than that of group 2. The prepared bone width was larger than the width of the laser tip in every group. Additional bone removal was observed adjacent to the prepared area and displayed an irregular surface. CONCLUSION & DISCUSSION: Different cutting effects were observed according to the laser tip, emphasizing the importance of proper tip selection in the clinical setting. This preliminary study supported the existence of hydrokinetic effects.

본 연구는 self-tapping screw의 특징적 구조인 cutting flute의 길이 및 형태 변화에 따른 미니 임플랜트의 식립 및 제거 토크를 비교해보기 위해 시행되었다. 외경, 내경, 길이 및 pitch 등 다른 조건이 모두 동일하고 cutting flute의 형태만 다른 세 종류의 미니 임플랜트를 사용하였다(A군; 2.6 mm 길이의 flute가 형성된 그룹, B군; 3.9 mm의 길이이면서 직선형의 flute를 갖는 그룹, C군; 3.9 mm의 길이이면서 나선형의 flute를 갖는 그룹). 골밀도를 균일하게 하기 위해 실험용 인공골(Sawbones Inc., USA)을 사용하였으며, 수직력 및 회전속도를 일정하게 하기 위해 구동식 토크시험기를 이용하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 총 삽입 시간은 2 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 세 군간에 차이를 보이지 않으나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군 > B군 > A군 순으로 짧은 삽입 시간을 보였다. 최대 삽입 토크는 2 mm 두께의 시편에서는 A군이 다른 두 군에 비해 높은 값을 보이나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군 > A군 > B군 순으로 높은 값을 보였다. 최대 제거 토크는 2 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 세 군 사이에 차이가 없으나, 4 mm 두께의 피질골 시편에서는 C군이 다른 두 군에 비해 높은 값을 보여주었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 피질골이 두꺼운 부위에 미니 임플랜트를 식립할 경우 cutting flute의 길이 및 형태 또한 고려하여 미니 임플랜트를 선택하는 것이 바람직하다.

Robotic applications, such as automatic fish cutting, require online trajectory planning because the material properties of the object, such as the bone or flesh conditions, are not known in advance. Different trajectories are required when the material properties vary. An effective online trajectory-planning algorithm is proposed using quaternions to determine the position and orientation of a robot manipulator with a spherical wrist. Quaternions are free of representation singularities and permit computationally efficient orientation interpolations. To prevent singular configurations, the exact locations of the kinematic singularities of the PUMA 560 manipulator are derived and geometrically illustrated when a forearm offset exists and the third link length is not zero.

골밀도가 높고 두꺼운 피질골에 마이크로임플란트를 self-drilling 방식으로 식립하는 경우 과도한 수준의 골부하 (bone loading)가 발생할 위험이 있으며 이는 인접골의 정상적인 골개형(bone remodeling)에 장애를 초래할 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석으로 두께 1.0 mm의 피질골에 Absoanchor SH1312-7 마이크로임플란트((주)덴토스, 대구, 대한민국)가 self-drilling 방식으로 식립되는 과정(10회전, 식립깊이 5 mm)을 모사(simulation)하였으며 식립 단계별로 피질골에 발생되는 스트레인을 조사하였다. 식립중 마이크로임플란트 첨부의 절삭연(cutting flute)에 의한 골삭제로 생기는 나사길(threaded groove)의 치수를 얻기 위하여 가토 경골에 마이크로임플란트를 식립/제거한 후 Micro CT (Explore Locus RS, GE Healthcare, Ontario, Canada)를 이용하여 기하형상을 측정하였으며 이를 치밀골의 유한요소모델에 반영하였다. 해석결과, 치밀골에 발생되는 스트레인은 임플란트 식립깊이에 따라 증가하였고, 초기단계에서 나사산에 인접한 골에 국한되던 과부하 부위(스트레인이 4,000${\mu}$-strain을 상회하는 영역)가 식립깊이 증가에 따라 인접골 전체, 즉 나사산 인접부는 물론 골(valley) 부위에 접하는 모든 영역으로 확장되었다. 본 연구를 통해, self-drilling 방식으로 마이크로임플란트를 식립할 때 치밀골에 발생하는 스트레인 크기는 생리적인 골개형을 저해할 수 있는 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate exophytically vertical bone formation in residual ridge of the beagle dog by the concept of guided bone regeneration with a titanium reinforced e-PTFE membrane combined with irradiated cancellous human bone. Twelve male beagle dogs(mean age 1.5 years and mean weight 12kg) were used for this study. The alveolar ridges after extraction of all mandibular premolars were surgically and horizontally removed. At 8 weeks after extractions, full-thickness flap was reflected and cortical bone was removed with round bur and copious irrigation. Rectangular parallelepiped(10mm in length, 5mm in width, and 4mm in height) bended with titanium-reinforced e-PTFE(TR e-PTFE) membrane was placed on the decorticated alveolar ridge, fixed with metal pins and covered with full-thickness flap and assigned as a control group. Test groups ere treated with TR e-PTFE membrane filled with irradiated cancellous human bone. Of twelve beagle dogs, four control dogs and four test dogs without membrane exposure to oral cavity were sacrificed at 8 and 16 weeks respectively. The surgical sites were dissected out, fixed in 4% buffered formaldehyde, dyed using a Villanueva staining technique, and processed for embedding in plastic resin. The cutting and grinding methods were routinely processed for histologic and histomophometric analyis of exophytic bone formation as well as statistical analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Exophytic bone formation in the both of experimental groups was increased respectively after surgery from 23.40% at 8 weeks to 46.26% at 16 weeks in the control groups, from 40.23% at 8 weeks to 47.11% at 16 weeks in the test groups(p<0.05). 2. At 8 weeks after surgery, exophytic bone formation was made 40.23% in the test groups and 33.40% in the control groups. Exophytic bone formation was significantly made in the test group more than in the control group. At 16 weeks after surgery, exophytic bone formation was made 44.11% in the test groups and 46.26% in the control groups. Exophytic bone formation was made in the test groups more than in the control groups, but there was no statistically significant differences. 3. The membrane was fixed with metal pins to closely contact it to the bone surface. So, collapse and deviation of the membrane could be prevented and in growth of connective tissue also could be blocked from the periphery of the membrane. On the basis of these findings, wee suggest that intraoral experimental model for exophytic bone formation may be effective to evaluate the effect of bone graft material. And it indicates that combined use of membrane and ICB graft material is more effective than use of membrane only for exophytic bone formation.

Objectives : It is well known that cigarette smoking is harzardous to the osseointegration of dental implant, due to the impaired wound healing accompanied by reduced alveolar bone density. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of cigarette smoke on the implant osseointegration by the time factor consideration. Materials and methods : Twenty-four male Spraque-Dawley rats (8 weeks, weighting 200 to 250g) were used in this study. In the experimental group, 13 rats were exposed to cigarette smoke, 8 minutes per day during 6 weeks, and 12 rats in the control group were not exposed at any time. RBM (Resorbed blasting media) surfaced implant (diameter 3.3mm, length 5.0mm, AVANA Co., Korea) was placed in the right femur of each rat. Each implant with surrounding bone was prepared with microtome (cutting band 0.2mm$^{(R)}$, EXAKT Co., Germany) after 1 day, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks and stained with toluidine blue (1%). Another clinical investigation of each implant was also done at each evaluation time. Results : Clinical investigation around implant fixture showed that there were no significant differences between the control and experimental group. Microscopic observation around implant fixture showed that there were significant differences between the control and experimental group at the initial stage after implant fixture installation. Experimental group showed a decreased bone to implant contact within 4 weeks compared to control group, but showed similar characteristics after 4 weeks. Conclusion : Smoking inhalation effect on the dental implant showed the impaired wound healing by vasoconstriction and decreased intramedullary blood flow at initial stage of osseointegration. This experimental results can be clinically useful to the implant surgery of smoking patients.
