모든 환자들은 구순접합술을 시행 받았고 구순 및 구개열 유아들은 악정형장치인 Latham을 사용하였다. 수술의 기술적 변화들은 앞서 설명하였다. Columella 부위의 높은 rotation과 releasing incision은 내측 입술 부위를 충분히 길게 해주고, advancement flap이 phitral column 상방으로 최소로 침범되게 하여 균형적인 입술을 만들 수 있다. 또한 구륜근을 외번시켜 philtral ridge를 형성하고, 작은 unilimb Z-plasty을 구순측 Cupid's bow handle 높이에 맞게 시행 후, vermilion-cutaneous junction에서부터 상방으로 cutaneous closure 시행한다. 변위된 alar cartilage는 nostril rim incision을 통해 동측 upper lateral cartilage에 매달며, Alar base는 anterior-caudal septum의 위치, sill의 설정 그리고 외측 vestibular web 제거를 포함하여 3차원적으로 설계하여 치료해야 한다. 이번에 소개한 Mulliken의 치료법이 환자들과 외과의사들에게 많은 도움이 되기를 바란다.

구순열의 일차 수술 또는 이차 수술 후에 발생하는 상순의 지나친 긴장은 상하순 간의 부조화, 상악열성장, 골격성 III급 부정교합 등 안모추형을 초래한다. 상순의 긴장이 매우 심한 경우에는 하순의 여유 있는 조직을 이용하여 상순을 수정하는 Abbe 피판을 고려할 수 있다. 상순의 긴장이 큐피드궁의 2/3 이상의 조직 손실을 동반할 경우 Abbe 피판의 적응증이 된다. Abbe 피판은 상순과 하순의 반흔, 색상의 부조화, 그리고 상순의 불완전한 운동을 초래하는 단점을 가진다. 그러므로 Abbe 피판은 신중하게 사용되어야 한다. 우리는 편측성 구순열 1예와 양측성 구순열 3예에서 상순의 과도한 긴장과 큐피드궁의 조직 결핍 그리고 비변형이 심한 이차성 구순열비변형을 교정하기 위해 세 가지 형태의 Abbe 피판을 이용한 이차 교정술을 경험하였다. Abbe 피판수술을 시행한 결과 상순의 반흔과 긴장이 해소되고 큐피드궁이 재건되고 비주의 길이가 증가되어 이차 구순열비변형을 교정할 수 있었다. Abbe 피판은 신중을 기해 적용한다면 구순열 수술 후에 발생되는 상순의 수평적 긴장감이나 편평함을 해결하는 데 유용한 술식임을 알 수 있었다.

The deletion of the distal long arm of chromosome 1 is associated with a characteristic facial appearance and a pattern of associated malformations. Characteristic manifestations include a round face with prominent 'cupid's bow' and downturned corners of the mouth, thin vermilion borders of lips, a long upper lip with a smooth philtrum, a short and broad nose, epicanthal folds, apparently low-set ears, micrognathia, microcephaly, abnormal hands and feet, variable cardiac or genital anomalies, moderate to severe mental retardation, and growth retardation. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis to map precisely the deletion, we present a case of chromosome 1q44 deletion with craniofacial characteristics, multiple congenital anomalies, and growth and psychomotor retardation. In comparison with other reported cases of 1q43-44 deletion, the subject does not show hydrocephalus, seizure, syn- or polydactyly of hands, and a urogenital anomaly. However, an arachnoid cyst, pinpoint dimple on the midline of the forehead, a right-sided supernumerary nipple and auricular pit, polydactyly of the right foot, adducted thumb, and flexion restriction of the proximal interphalangeal joint with a simian line in both hands were observed additionally.

In spite of all fine methods developed for treating cleft lip, a certain percentage of cases might still need secondary correction. Generally, secondary revision of cleft lip is much difficult to produce esthetic outcome, because the cleft lip scar gives a variable symmetrical and anatomic defect that may not be possible to make inconspicuous of this scar and rebuild good esthetics. In this case report, a five year-old girl was underwent secondary cleft lip repair using straight line technique to correct unfavorable postoperative scar, peaking of Cupid's bow, notching of vermillion and shortened lip on cleft side with simultaneous repairing cleft palatal fistula. After operation, the secondary deformity was much improved, but, long term follow up is needed to evaluate the additional postoperative deformity might be happen during growth.

Purpose: The authors accessed the anthropometric measurements of fourty non-cleft normal a three-month-old infant and using this obtained data as a basic guideline, authors applied the modified Noordhoff technique for the treatment of bilateral cleft lip. Methods: Over a period of 10 years, a total of 21 bilateral cleft lips were operated. 13 cases of complete and 8 cases of incomplete bilateral cleft lip and palate. In the complete type of bilateral cleft palate, elastic head cap and passive intraoral appliance were applied at 1 to 2 week of age for 2 months duration. The definitive cheiloplasty was performed at 3 months of age using the modified Noordhoff technique. Results: After a follow-up period ranging one to nine years, most patients presented with cosmetically and functionally satisfying results, with an exception of two cases where an undesired peaking effect of the vermilion and dimpling of the vermilion mucosa was encountered. Conclusion: Accessing the anthropometric measurements of fourty non-cleft normal three-month-old infant and using this obtained dara as a guideline, the modified Noordhoff technique can be applied to either complete or incomplete bilaterally cleft lip providing more naturally pleasing and cosmetically satisfying scars that lie in harmony with the philtral ridges, lip tubercle positioned just below the vermilion and a distinct white line and Cupid's bow.

Cleft lip arises from congenital underdevelopment with various degrees and patterns. Mulliken named a unilateral incomplete cleft lip with no severe cleft as a lesser-form cleft lip and categorized it into three subgroups. Anatomically categorized subgroups are minor-form, microform, and mini-microform cleft by the extent of vermilion-cutaneous dysjuntion. The vermillion cutaneous notch is more than 3 mm from the regular Cupid's bow peak for minor-form, less than 3 mm for microform, and almost no gap with discontinuity on the vermillion cutaneous border for mini-microform. The treatments are rotational advancement flap for minor-form, double unillimb Z-plasty for microform, and vertical lenticular excision for mini-microform, respectively. This article aims to present the literature review about the incomplete lesser form cleft lip classified by Mulliken and to report our experiences.

The philtrum plays a key role in the appearance of the upper lip and nostril sill. Therefore, construction of the philtrum is crucial for attaining a natural appearance of the upper lip. We used a flipping myoplasty of the orbicularis oris muscle on a patient with a flat philtrum in order to effectively reconstruct the philtral dimple and column. A 35-year-old female presented to our department with the complaint of a flat upper lip. A superficial layer of the orbicularis oris muscle on the median aspect of the upper lip was vertically incised and elevated to a thickness of 2 mm. Both sides of the elevated muscle flap were then folded to the lateral sides so that the border could be sutured onto the outer portion of the orbicularis oris muscle. The patient was observed for one year postoperatively. Her philtrum deepened by 1.25 mm, with the central angle of her Cupid's bow improving from a preoperative measurement of $146^{\circ}$ to $128^{\circ}$ postoperatively. In a patient with an indistinct philtrum, a flipping orbicularis oris myoplasty was performed to attain a definite philtral column and a philtral dimple. Natural upper lip movement was maintained, and an aesthetically and functionally satisfactory reconstruction was achieved.

Purpose: Nasal bone fracture is the most common type of facial bone fracture. The standard 6-view photography was not adequate to support the evaluation of nasal deformity and the results of closed reduction. The authors have standardized a bird's eye view photography to more effectively evaluate this nasal deformity. Methods: We reviewed the medical records and radiologic studies of 63 nasal bone fracture patients. We had taken clinical photography including bird's eye view that was standardized as nasal tip was aligned to Cupid's bow of upper lip and light was focused on the nasion of all 63 patients. Results: Nasal deviations and reductions were more noticeable on the newly standardized bird's eye view. This clinical photography was very useful to explain the results of reduction. Conclusion: It was concluded that this photography can be more reliable for evaluation of severity of nasal deformity and the result of closed reduction.

In human fetuses, the left hepatic artery (LHA) issues the marginal artery that runs along the umbilical vein and, sometimes, reaches the umbilicus. The further observation demonstrated that, in 5 of 12 Japanese midterm fetuses (crown-rump length mm: 46, 50, 54, 59, 102), the marginal artery issued not only a thin umbilical branch but also a liver parenchymal branch that took a posterosuperior recurrent course in a peritoneal fold and supplied the anterior surface of the liver left lobe (segment III). However, in 22 Spanish fetuses of which gestational ages corresponded to the Japanese ones, we did not find the parenchymal branch. Therefore, between human populations, there seemed to be a considerable difference in the incidence as to whether or not the marginal artery issues the liver parenchymal branch. The parenchymal branch might be degenerated at the later stages due to friction between the liver free surface and growing diaphragm.

Steam line break accident (SLB) in the nuclear reactor is one of the representative Non-LOCA accidents in which thermal-hydraulics and neutron kinetics are strongly coupled each other. Thus, the multi-scale and multi-physics approach is applied in this study in order to examine a realistic safety margin. An entire reactor coolant system is modelled by system scale node, whereas sub-channel scale resolution is applied for the region of interest such as the reactor core. Fuel performance code is extended to consider full core pin-wise fuel behaviour. The MARU platform is developed for easy integration of the codes to be coupled. An initial stage of the steam line break accident is simulated on the MARU platform. As cold coolant is injected from the cold leg into the reactor pressure vessel, the power increases due to the moderator feedback. Three-dimensional coolant and fuel behaviour are qualitatively visualized for easy comprehension. Moreover, quantitative investigation is added by focusing on the enhancement of safety margin by means of comparing the minimum departure from nucleate boiling ratio (MDNBR). Three factors contributing to the increase of the MDNBR are proposed: Various geometric parameters, realistic power distribution by neutron kinetics code, Radial coolant mixing including sub-channel physics model.
