Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pterygomaxillary separation on dimensional changes of dental arch following surgically-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). Patients and Methods: Eighteen adults who had been treated by SARME for transverse maxillary deficiency from May 2000 to August 2005 were evaluated. Thirteen patients (Group 1) were treated with subtotal Le Fort I osteotomy including pterygomaxillary separation and anterior midpalatal osteotomy. The same operation was performed in five patients (Group 2) except pterygomaxillary separation. Dental study casts were taken before operation and after removal of expansion device. And then, skeletal and dental parameters were measured pre- and post-operatively. Results: 1. Changes of mean interdental width 1) In group 1, mean maxillary interdental width was increased 70%($47{\sim}99%$), 95%($84{\sim}115%$), and 77%($57{\sim}94%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 2) In group 2, mean maxillary interdental width was increased 77%($59{\sim}100%$), 78%($45{\sim}107%$), and 86%($57{\sim}116%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 3) There was a statistical difference between the change of interdental width of group 1 and group 2 at first premolar(p<0.05). 2. Changes of mean interalveolar width 1) In group 1, mean maxillary alveolar bone width was increased 66%($42{\sim}84%$), 74%($42{\sim}104%$), and 57%($31{\sim}78%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 2) In Group 2, mean maxillary alveolar bone width was increased 73%($55{\sim}98%$), 67%($36{\sim}89%$), and 59%($48{\sim}73%$) of total expansion on canine, first premolar, and first molar region, respectively after retention. 3) There were no statistical differences between group 1 and group 2 at each teeth area. Conclusion: These results suggest that SARME without pterygomaxillary separation may allow the relatively equal expansion at both anterior and posterior teeth area and most amounts of maxillary interdental expansions were acquired with the expansion of the maxilla by SARME.

The hemifacial microsomia is characterized by variable underdevelopment of the craniofacial skeleton, external ear, and facial soft tissues. So, patients with hemifacial microsomia have an occlusal plane canting and malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) with an intraoral or extraoral device is a technique using tension to generate new bone with gradual bone movement and remodeling. DO has especially been used to correct craniofacial deformities such as a hemifacial microsomia, facial asymmetry, and mandible defect that could not adequately be treated by conventional reconstruction with osteotomies. It has a significant advantage to lengthen soft and hard tissue of underdeveloped site without bone graft and a few complication such as nerve injury or muscle contracture. A 13-years old girl visited our clinic for the chief complaint of facial asymmetry. She had a left hypoplastic maxilla and mandible, occlusal plane canting and malocclusion. We diagnosed hemifacial microsomia and lanned DO to lengthen the affected side. Le Fort I osteotomy, left mandibular ramus and symphysis osteotomy were performed. The internal distraction devices fixed with screw on maxillary and mandibular ramus osteotomy sites. External devices were adapted to lower jaw for DO on symphysis osteotomy site and to upper jaw for rapid maxillary expansion (RME). At 7days after surgery, distraction was started at the rate of 1mm per day for 13days, and after 4months consolidation periods, distraction devices were removed. Simultaneous multiple maxillo-mandibular distraction osteogenesis with RME resulted in a satisfactory success in correcting facial asymmetry as well as occlusal plane canting for our hemifacial microsomia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in the pharyngeal airway space, tongue and hyoid bone positions according to the orthognathic surgical methods of mandibular prognathism. Methods: The subjects included 30 patients (16 males, 14 females) with the skeletal class III malocclusion. Group 1 (10 patients) underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) only; group 2 (10 patients) underwent BSSRO with genioplasty; and group 3 (10 patients) underwent BSSRO, Le Fort I osteotomy. We measured the lines between the selected upper air way, hyoid bone and tongue landmarks on the lateral cephalometric x-ray films of skeletal class III. The measurements were made preoperation, within 1 week after the operation, 3~6 months after the operation and 1 year after the operation. We compared and analyzed the measurements with matched paired t-test and independent samples t-test. Results: There were no postoperative changes in the nasopharyngeal airway space in group 3. The measurements of group 3 also increased during the follow-up period as compared to the preoperative measurements. In group 1, 2 and 3, the immediate postoperative oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal airway spaces were decreased. In the following period, the hypopharyngeal airway space returned to the preoperative positions, but the oropharyngeal airway space was not significantly changed. The upper and lower tongue was posteriorly repositioned immediately after the surgery. During the follow-up period, the lower tongue position returned to the preoperative position, and the upper tongue position was not significantly changed. Immediately after the surgery, the B point was moved to the posterior position, and a slight anterior advancement was found in the follow-up period. Conclusion: Patients who received the mandibular setback surgery showed a decrease in the posterior airway space, and those who underwent maxillary advancement showed a significant increase of the nasopharyngeal airway space, which remained stable during the evaluation period. The change of the airway space, position of the hyoid bone and tongue did not differ according to the presence or absence of genioplasty.

Background: Controlled hypotension (CH) provides a better surgical environment and reduces operative time. However, there are some risks related to organ hypoperfusion. The EV1000/FloTrac system can provide continuous cardiac output monitoring without the insertion of pulmonary arterial catheter. The present study investigated the efficacy of this device in double jaw surgery under CH. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent double jaw surgery between 2010 and 2015. Patients were administered conventional general anesthesia with desflurane; CH was performed with remifentanil infusion and monitored with an invasive radial arterial pressure monitor or the EV1000/FloTrac system. We allocated the patients into two groups, namely an A-line group and an EV1000 group, according to the monitoring methods used, and the study variables were compared. Results: Eighty-five patients were reviewed. The A-line group reported a higher number of failed CH (P = 0.005). A significant correlation was found between preoperative hemoglobin and intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion (r = 0.525; P < 0.001). In the EV1000 group, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was significantly lower 2 h after CH (P = 0.014), and the cardiac index significantly decreased 1 h after CH (P = 0.001) and 2 h after CH (P = 0.007). Moreover, venous oxygen saturation (ScVO₂) decreased significantly at both 1 h (P = 0.002) and 2 h after CH (P = 0.029); however, these values were within normal limits. Conclusion: The EV1000 group reported a lower failure rate of CH than the A-line group. However, EV1000/FloTrac monitoring did not present with any specific advantage over the conventional arterial line monitoring when CH was performed with the same protocol and same mean blood pressure. Preoperative anemia treatment will be helpful to decrease intraoperative transfusion. Furthermore, ScVO₂ monitoring did not present with sufficient benefits over the risk and cost.

악교정 수술의 계획에 있어서 수술 후 경조직의 이동에 따른 연조직 변화 양상을 보다 정확히 예측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 최근에는 측모 두부 규격 방사선 사진과 실제 측모 사진을 병합하여 수술 후 측모 변화에 대한 가시성을 높인 여러 종류의 video imaging 프로그램들이 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 프로그램의 정확도를 판단하는 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이며 특히 국내에서 많이 시행되고 있는 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자의 수술 후 변화 양상에 대한 연구가 임상적인 활용에 앞서 선행되는 것이 필요하다. 이에 저자는 video imaging프로그램의 하나인 Power $Ceph^{\circledR}$ (Power Soft Co. Ver 3.3)을 이용하여 국내에서 양악수술을 시행 받은 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자 30명(남 14명, 여 16명)을 대상으로 예측도와 실제 술후의 측모를 비교하여 정확도를 평가하였으며 정확도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위해 이동량 및 술식별로 분류 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 예측치와 실제 계측치의 비교에서 24개의 계측항목 중 14개 항목에서 유의성 있는 차이를 보였다. 2. 계측항목 중 유의성 있는 차이를 보이는 항목은 대부분 상악에 관련된 연조직으로 하악에 관련된 연조직에 비해 다양한 차이를 나타내었다. 3.상악 및 하악의 이동량에 따른 비교에서 이동량이 적은 군이 이동량이 많은 군에 비하여 예측치와 실제 계측치 비교에서 유의성 있는 차이를 보인 항목이 적게 나타났다. 4. 이부 성형술 여부에 따른 비교에서 이부 성형술을 시행하지 않은 군에서 이부 성형술을 시행한 군에 비하여 예측치와 실제 계측치 비교에서 유의성 있는 차이를 보인 항목이 적게 나타났다. Video imaging(Power $Ceph^{\circledR}$ Ver 3.3)프로그램에 의한 예측치와 실제 계측치 비교시 그 차이는 대부분 2mm 이내로써 임상적으로 수용할 수 있는 수준이었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar dimensional changes following surgically-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). Patients & methods: Thirteen adults who had been treated by SARME for transverse maxillary deficiency from May 2000 to December 2003 were evaluated. The SARME procedure was the subtotal Le Fort I osteotomy combined with pterygomaxillary separation and anterior midpalatal osteotomy. Dental study casts and posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs were taken before operation, after removal of expansion device, and follow up period. Nasal cavity width, skeletal and dentoalveolar parameters were measured pre- and post-operatively. Results: 1. Mean nasal cavity width was increased 12%$(0{\sim}21%)$ of total expansion after retention. 2. Mean maxillary interdental width was increased 70%$(47{\sim}99%)$, 95%$(84{\sim}115%)$, and 77%$(57{\sim}94%)$ of total expansion in the canine, the first premolar, and the first molar region, respectively after retention. 3. Mean maxillary alveolar bone width was increased 66%$(42{\sim}84%)$, 74%$(42{\sim}94%)$, and 57%$(31{\sim}78%)$ of total expansion in the canine, the first premolar, and the first molar region, respectively after retention. 4. Mean palatal vault depth was decreased 1.3 mm ($0.5{\sim}2.0$ mm) after retention. 5. Mean interdental and alveolar bone width of the mandibular canine and intermolar width of mandible were slight increased as maxilla was expanded after retention. 6. There were statistical differences between preoperative and postoperative values of nasal cavity, all maxillary interdental and interalveolar widths, palatal vault depth, mandibular interdental and interalveolar width of canine(paired t-test, p<0.05). 7. The maxillary interdental and alveolar bone width were decreased approximately 25% of total expansion by relapse at follow up period. Conclusion: In conclusion, most amounts of maxillary interdental expansions were acquired with the expansion of the maxilla by SARME. For preventing the relapse, approximately 25% of the overexpansion was needed.

Although many studies on modelling of port competitive situation have been conducted, both theoretical frame and methodology are still very weak. In this study, therefore, a new algorithm called ESD (Extensional System Dynamics) for the evaluation of port competition was presented, and applied to simulate port systems in northeast asia. The detailed objectives of this paper are to develop Unit fort Model by using SD(System Dynamics) method; to develop Competitive Port Model by ESD method; to perform sensitivity analysis by altering parameters, and to propose port development strategies. For these the algorithm for the evaluation of part's competition was developed in two steps. Firstly, SD method was adopted to develop the Unit Port models, and secondly HFP(Hierarchical Fuzzy Process) method was introduced to expand previous SD method. The proposed models were then developed and applied to the five ports - Pusan, Kobe, Yokohama, Kaoshiung, Keelung - with real data on each ports, and several findings were derived. Firstly, the extraction of factors for Unit Port was accomplished by consultation of experts such as research worker, professor, research fellows related to harbor, and expert group, and finally, five factor groups - location, facility, service, cargo volumes, and port charge - were obtained. Secondly, system's structure consisting of feedback loop was found easily by location of representative and detailed factors on keyword network of STGB map. Using these keyword network, feedback loop was found. Thirdly, for the target year of 2003, the simulation for Pusan port revealed that liner's number would be increased from 829 ships to 1,450 ships and container cargo volumes increased from 4.56 million TEU to 7.74 million TEU. It also revealed that because of increased liners and container cargo volumes, length of berth should be expanded from 2,162m to 4,729m. This berth expansion was resulted in the decrease of congested ship's number from 97 to 11. It was also found that port's charge had a fluctuation. Results of simulation for Kobe, Yokohama, Kaoshiung, Keelung in northeast asia were also acquired. Finally, the inter port competition models developed by ESB method were used to simulate container cargo volumes for Pusan port. The results revealed that under competitive situation container cargo volume was smaller than non-competitive situation, which means Pusan port is lack of competitive power to other ports. Developed models in this study were then applied to estimate change of container cargo volumes in competitive relation by altering several parameters. And, the results were found to be very helpful for port mangers who are in charge of planning of port development.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the vertical changes of the lip and perioral soft tissue, following orthognathic surgery in skeletal class III patients by a cephalometric analysis of a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: A total of 20 skeletal class III patients, who had bimaxillary surgery with Le Fort 1 osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, were included in this study. The surgical plan for maxilla was posterosuperior impaction with the anterior nasal spine, as the rotation center. Further, the surgical plan for mandible was also posterosuperior movement. The soft tissue changes between lateral cephalogram and CBCT were compared. And the correlations between independent variables and dependent variables were evaluated. Results: There were no significant differences of the soft tissues changes between lateral cephalogram and CBCT. Upper lip philtrum length (SnLs), nasolabial angle increased and upper lip vermilion length (LsStms), lower lip length (StmiB'), lower lip vermilion length (StmiLi), lower lip philtrum length (LiB') and soft tissue lower facial height (SnMe') decreased after surgery. Change of SnLs (${\Delta}$SnLs) was influenced by vertical change of menton (${\Delta}$MeV), and change of LsStms (${\Delta}$LsStms) was influenced by upper lip thickness (ULT). Change of StmiLi' (${\Delta}$StmiLi') were influenced by preoperative overjet. Change of StmiB' (${\Delta}$StmiB') were influenced by preoperative overjet, vertical change of lower incisor (${\Delta}$L1V) and horizontal change of posterior nasal spine (${\Delta}$PNSH). Change of LiB' (${\Delta}$LiB') was influenced by ${\Delta}$L1V and ${\Delta}$PNSH. Change of SnMe' (${\Delta}$SnMe') was influenced by ${\Delta}$MeV, horizontal change of upper incisor (${\Delta}$U1H) and horizontal change of lower incisor (${\Delta}$L1H). ${\Delta}$Nasolabial angle was influenced by change of ULT (${\Delta}$ULT). Conclusion: Both soft tissues and hard tissues can be evaluated by CBCT. Posterosuperior rotation of maxillomandibular complex resulted in increase of upper lip philtrum length and nasolabial angle, while the upper lip vermilion length, lower lip philtrum length, lower lip vermilion length, and soft tissue lower facial height showed a decrease.

Objective: To investigate the treatment modalities (Tx-Mods) for patients with unilateral hemifacial microsomia (UHFM) according to Pruzansky-Kaban types and growth stages. Methods: The samples consisted of 82 Korean UHFM patients. Tx-Mods were defined as follows: Tx-Mod-1, growth observation due to mild facial asymmetry; Tx-Mod-2, unilateral functional appliance; Tx-Mod-3, fixed orthodontic treatment; Tx-Mod-4, growth observation due to a definite need for surgical intervention; Tx-Mod-5, unilateral mandibular or bimaxillary distraction osteogenesis (DO); Tx-Mod-6, maxillary fixation using LeFort I osteotomy and mandibular DO/sagittal split ramus osteotomy; Tx-Mod-7, orthognathic surgery; and Tx-Mod-8, costochondral grafting. The type and frequency of Tx-Mod, the number of patients who underwent surgical procedures, and the number of surgeries that each patient underwent, were investigated. Results: The degree of invasiveness and complexity of Tx-Mod increased, with an increase in treatment stage and Pruzansky-Kaban type (initial < final; [I, IIa] < [IIb, III], all p < 0.001). The percentage of patients who underwent surgical procedures increased up to 4.2 times, with an increase in the Pruzansky-Kaban type (I, 24.1%; IIa, 47.1%; IIb, 84.4%; III, 100%; p < 0.001). However, the mean number of surgical procedures that each patient underwent showed a tendency of increase according to the Pruzansky-Kaban types (I, n = 1.1; IIa, n = 1.5; IIb, n = 1.6; III, n = 2.3; p > 0.05). Conclusions: These findings might be used as basic guidelines for successful treatment planning and prognosis prediction in UHFM patients.

흰쥐를 이용하여 profenofos의 경구투여 및 피부도포 후 뇨 중 대사물질과 뇨 중 대사물질의 시간별 배설량을 GC/MS로 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. Profenofos를 경구투여 후 뇨 중 대사물질은 4-bromo-2-chloropheno이며, GC/MS로 분석한 결과 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol는 m/z=208에서 분자이온을 추정하였다. Profenofos를 피부도포 후 뇨 중 대사물질은 경구투여와 동일한 대사물질인 4-bromo-2-chloropheno이었다. 모 화합물이나 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol외 다른 대사물질은 검출되지 않았다. Profenofos를 경구투여 후 뇨 중 대사물질인 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol의 시간별 배설량은 12시간에 가장 많은 양이 배설되었다. 또한 48시간 내 95%가 배설되었고 72시간 이후는 대사물질이 배설되지 않았다. 한편 profenofos를 피부도포 후 뇨 중 대사물질인 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol의 시간별 배설량은 12시간에 가장 많은 양이 배설되었으며, 48시간 내 87%가 배설되었고 96시간 이후는 대사물질이 배설되지 않았다. Profenofos 의 뇨 중 대사물질인 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol는 profenofos의 생체모니터링 지표물질로서 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 생각되며, 뇨 중 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol의 시간별 배설량을 측정한 결과 경구투여보다 피부도포 후 배설이 지연된 다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
