A small cyclopoid copepod M. subtilis (Giesbrecht, 1893 ["1892"]) belonging to the genus Monothula $B{\ddot{o}}ttger-Schnack$ and Huys, 2001 was collected by using $60{\mu}m$ mesh net and firstly recorded in the epipelagic layer of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. We redescribed its morphological characteristics for both female and male, comparing with those of previous studies. Specimens of M. subtilis from the equatorial Pacific Ocean differ from those previously reported by others in terms of the length of the seta G on antenna, being much shorter than setae E and F; in the distal spine on the swimming leg 4, being longer than the length of the third segment on P4. The outer spine of the P3 enp-3 in male is slightly over the tip of conical process. The spine lengths of the distal endopods of P2-P4 for both sexes showed variations among individuals, and the proportions of spine lengths in female are higher than those in male.

선천성 기관지 폐쇄증은 단순촬영에서 폐 결절로 보여 악성 종양으로 오인될 수 있다. 그러나 흉부단순촬영과 특히 전산화단층촬영에서는 늘어난 기관지 내의 점액고착, 구역 과팽창 등이 특징적으로 보여 더 이상의 침습적 검사 없이 선천성 기관지 폐쇄증으로 진단할 수 있다.

A new species belonging to the genus Cyclopinoides Lindberg, 1953 (Cyclopinidae) is described from three beaches in Korea and Japan, as the first record of the genus from the Pacific. Among five species currently recognized in the genus, the new species resembles C. schulzi Herbst, 1964 from the Red Sea in sharing the character combination of 20-segmented antennule and stumpy caudal rami. However, C. orientalis n. sp. differs from it by relatively longer caudal rami (2.5-2.8 times as long as wide in female and about 1.6-1.8 times in male, while less than 2 times in female and about 1.3 times in male of C. schulzi), and by the transformation of an outer distal spine to a slender seta on the distal exopodal segment of leg 4. Moreover, C. orientalis n. sp. is discernible from C. schulzi in having a pyriform copulatory tube (against elongated tubular style in C. schulzi). A key to the species hitherto known in the genus is provided.

Oncaea prendeli Shmeleva, 1966 is redescribed here based on a specimen collected using a fine-mesh net in the epipelagic layer in the south sea of Jeju Island, Korea. The Korean specimen is generally similar to Mediterranean specimens in terms of morphological characteristics, but it shows a few minor differences in a slightly larger length-to-width ratio for the distal endopod segment of the antenna, a relatively shorter caudal seta IV, and additional ornamentation on the maxillule and maxilla. This species is distinguishable from the most similar congeneric species, O. tregoubovi Shmeleva, 1968, and three species of the genus Spinoncaea Böttger-Schnack, 2003 by the distal and lateral armature of the antenna, ornamentation on the female maxilliped, spine number on the endopod of leg 2, and proportional length of setae on the caudal ramus. Moreover, spine lengths on the exopods of legs 2-4 are proposed as new morphological characters for the identification of congeners. This is the first record of O. prendeli in Korean waters.

Clinodactyly is defined as an angulation of a digit in the radio-ulnar plane. This anomaly can be congenital, dominantly inherited, or acquired due to trauma or inflammation. Although the deformity usually causes little functional impairment, correction is made because of cosmetic problems. Male subject, with polydactyly on thumb(Wassel's type VII) received first surgery at the age of one. And at the age of six, abnormal growth on the radial side of the first metacarpal bone and ulnar deviation of the distal phalanx of the thumb at the interphalangeal joint had developed. The authors used the growing bony segment from the first metacarpal bone as a bone graft for the correction of clinodactyly on thumb. Z-plasty incision was made on the concave(ulnar) side of thumb and a wedge osteotomy was made on the distal phalanx. The bone graft was inserted into the gap of the distal phalanx of the thumb and fixed it with K-wires. Deformity of the metacarpal bone and clinodactyly on thumb was corrected effectively without donor site morbidity with noticible growth of the grafted metacarpal bone 12 months after surgery.

The present study was performed to assess peripheral neural involvement by exposure to hand-arm vibration. Segmental sensory nerve conduction in the median and ulnar nerves were measured in shipyard workers exposed to vibration. The subjects were 47 male adults exposed to hand-arm vibration and 7 healthy male controls. The subjects underwent an extensive bilateral neurophysiological examination. Sensory compound nerve action potential (SNAP) of the median and ulnar nerves in palm-finger and wrist-palm segments were measured by antidromic method. And SNAP of the median and ulnar nerves in wrist-proximal finger and wrist-distal finger segments were measured by orthodromic method. Result of sensory nerve conduction study was abnormal in 31 patients $(66\%)$ and normal in 16 patients $(34\%)$ of subjects. The pathological pattern in the hand-arm vibration exposed group was 13 patients $(28\%)$ of carpal tunnel syndrome, 18 patients $(38\%)$ of distal sensory neuropathy, 7 patients $(15\%)$ of multifocal and 1 patient $(2\%)$ of Guyon syndrome. The present study indicates that vibration-induced nerve impairments exist both in the finger-palm and palm-wrist segment of median and ulnar sensory nerves. The results suggest that segmental sensory nerve conduction study would be useful as objective indication of peripheral nerve impairment induced by the hand-arm vibration.

Ponciri Fructus (PF), the immature fruit of Poncirus trifoliata, has been used for treatment of constipation in Korean traditional medicine. It has been reported that PF has a prokinetic effect on gastrointestinal tract, but little is known about the effect on colonic contraction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PF on spontaneous contractions of proximal and distal colon in rats. The aqueous extract of PF was centrifuged and filtered and its supernatant was used for in vitro motility study. The removed colon from rats was divided into proximal and distal segments. Each segment was mounted in a 10 ml organ bath and measured the change of the spontaneous contraction with increasing dose (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, $1000{\mu}g/ml$) of PF extract administration. Also the effect of PF on the spontaneous contraction was measured under treatment of atropine, acetylcholine (Ach), and tetrodotoxin (TTX). PF increased the spontaneous phasic contraction of distal colon dose dependently, but there was no change in proximal colon. The contractile response induced by PF in distal colon was lower than that of Ach and was partially blocked by atropine ($10^{-6}M$). TTX increased the spontaneous contraction and it was reinforced with Ach addition. But the extract of PF had no or little contractile effect of TTX in colon. PF increased spontaneous contractions selectively in distal colon. The prokinetic effect of PF may be due to enhancement of cholinergic related excitatory neural system.

치열의 치군 후방이동을 유발하는 교정력에 의해 발생되는 개개 치아의 초기 변위와 응력분포를 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 유한요소법을 이용하여 상악 치아와 치근막, 그리고 치조골의 해부학적 형태와 생체적 특성을 컴퓨터로 재현하고 모형화된 브라켓을 부착한 3 차원 유한요소 모델을 형성하였다. 치열의 치군 후방이동에 사용되는 구외력과 II급 악간고무, ideal arch wire와 MEAW(Multiloop Edgewise Arch Wire), 그리고 호선에 부여된 tip back bend 에 의해 야기되는 치아 변위를 비교, 분석하였다 그리고 이러한 치료방법을 상악 제 2 대구치를 발거한 경우와 발거하지 않은 경우에 각각 적용하여 상악 제 2대구치 존재유무에 따른 치아이동 양상의 변화를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전치부 헤드기어에 의해 발생되는 치아변위는 후방 치체변위와 후방 경사변위, 그리고 수직변위 모두 치열 전방부에 집중되어 있었다. 2. Ideal arch wire에 II급 악간고무를 적용한 경우, 치아변위가 치열 전방부에 집중되었으나 ideal arch wire에 tip back bend를 부여하면 악간고무에 의한 견인력이 후방으로 전달되었다. 부여하는 tip back bend의 양이 증가할수록 전치부의 후방 치체변위와 설측 경사변위는 감소하였고 구치부의 후방 치체변위와 경사변위는 증가하였으며 II급 악간고무에 의한 전치부 정출이 감소하였다. 3. MEAW와 II급 악간고무를 적용한 결과, 치아변위 경향은 ideal arch wire와 II급 악간고무를 사용한 경우와 유사하였으나 작은 양의 치아변위와 함께 치열내 개개치아의 비교적 균등한 이동양상을 보였다. 4. 상악 제 2 대구치가 존재하는 유한요소 모델에 상악 제 1 대구치까지만 교정장치를 장착하고 후방이동을 시도한 결과 상악 제 1 대구치 치아이동이 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

Six new species of copepods associated with polychaetes are described from Korea. Included are Indoclausia bipartita n. sp., Clausia parva n. sp., and Maxilliclausia propria n. gen. n. sp. in the Clausiidae; Pseudanthessius excertus n. sp. in the Pseudanthessiidae; and Polyankylis ovilaxa n. sp. and Sewelloya plana n. gen. n. sp. in the Polyankyliidae. The new genus Maxilliclausia has a peculiar maxilla in which the distal segment forms a sucking disk, a non-prehensile antenna, vestigial legs 3 and 5, and lacks a maxilliped and leg 4. The two new species of the Polyankyllidae are discovered as external associates of terebellid polychaetes. The new genus Sewelloya has a simple female maxilliped bearing only two small setae on its terminal segment, an uniramous leg 4 bearing 1-segmented exopod, and a reduced leg 5 represented by three setae. The genera Terebelliphilus Kim, 2001 which was originally placed in the Sabelliphilidae, and Octophiophora Stock, 1988 and Stockia Sebastian and Pillai, 1974, both of the latters with uncertain familial positions, are transferred to the Polyankyliidae. A key to five genera of the Polyankyliidae are provided.

The incidence of syphilitic aortic aneurysm was decreased now a day. The predilection site of cardiovascular syphilis is the thoracic aorta, especially ascending portion. The form of syphilitic aneurysm is characterized by saccular or fusiform. We have experienced 58 year old female complained of intermittent left chest pain for these 2 years. Saccular aneurysm of 7 cm in diameter at the descending thoracic aorta just distal to the left subclavian artery was confirmed with aortogram, and etiologic lesion was suspected as syphilis by her strong positive finding of serum VDRL test. Excision of the aneurysm was done under temporary bypass with heparinized 10mm silicone bypass cannula, and 23 mm Dacron aortic prosthetic graft in 10 cm segment was replaced, and excised aortic segment was confirmed as syphilitic aneurysm on light microscopic examination. Postoperative hospital course was uneventful, and discharged 3 weeks after operation in good normotensive condition. The patient died of CVA 3 months after discharge at home.
