Background: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been reported to be very efficacious for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety-related conditions. However, a review of the literature reveals the sparse use of this therapy in the field of pediatric dentistry. This study aimed to evaluate anxiety trends in pediatric dental patients during local anesthesia and extraction with and without EMDR therapy. Methods: Children in the age range of 8-12 years who required dental extractions were assigned randomly into two groups: an EMDR group (group 1) and a routine behavior management therapy group (group 2; receiving more traditional interventions such as tender love and care behavioral modeling, and distraction). Anxiety scores were recorded at four levels using the visual facial anxiety scale (VFAS) preoperatively, after therapy, after the administration of local anesthesia (LA), and after extraction. Results: Reduced anxiety was observed after the delivery of EMDR therapy, after LA administration, and post-extraction in the EMDR group compared to pre-operative anxiety scores of anxiety (P < 0.001; unpaired Student's t and Mann-Whitney U tests). In the control group, mild reductions in anxiety after routine behavior management therapy were observed, accompanied by spikes in anxiety levels after LA and extractions. Conclusion: EMDR therapy was found to be valuable for reducing anxiety among pediatric dental patients during tooth extraction procedures.

Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) is an unusual malignancy with aggressive behavior. ES/PNET in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is extremely uncommon, and we report on a rare case here. A 31-year-old man presented with one month history of left facial palsy, hearing loss, swallowing difficulty, and hoarseness. Magnetic resonance images showed a large mass in the left CPA and a small one in the right cerebellar hemisphere. The patient underwent a surgery for the CPA mass lesion, and the pathology was compatible with ES/PNET. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy were administered. In contrast to the initial radiologic findings resembling vestibular schwannoma or meningioma, ES/PNET had several distinct clinical features. A patient with a CPA mass and presenting unusual clinical features should be suspected of having a rare malignancy.

얼굴 동작을 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 얼굴 동작은 얼굴 표정, 얼굴 자세, 시선, 주름 같은 얼굴 특징이나 얼굴 행동 등으로 표출될 수 있다. 이러한 표출된 정보들은 얼굴 동작이 다양하고 명확하지 않아 연구 진행에 많은 어려움이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 얼굴 동작을 묘사하는 FACS를 기반으로 하여 시각적 관찰에 의해 주요한 얼굴 동작을 표현하고, 베이지안 네트워크를 통하여 여러 정보를 분석 융합하여 얼굴 행동을 추론 할 수 있도록 하였다. 베이지안 네트워크의 하향식 추론으로 시각 정보를 선택 할 수 있고, 관측된 현상을 토대로 상향식 추론 하여 얼굴 동작의 신뢰 전파를 통하여 분류 인식한다.

법랑아 세포종은 치성 상피에서 기인한 양성 종양의 일종이다. 하악골에 가장 흔하게 발생하는 양성종양이며 공격적인 성장과 국소적 침범의 특징을 가진다. 그 중 단방성 법랑아 세포종은 방사선학적으로는 단방성의 특징을 가지며 병리학적으로는 낭종의 특징을 가진다. 낭종성 법랑아 세포종의 병소의 크기가 큰 경우 감압술 및 조대술이 보존적인 치료 방법으로 사용된다. 이 치료 방법의 목적은 병소의 크기를 줄여 완전 적출이 손쉽게 하며 악안면 부위 변형이나 신경 손상을 방지하는데 있다. 본 증례에서는 병소의 크기가 큰 낭종성 법랑아 세포종을 감압술 및 조대술로 성공적으로 치료한 치험례를 논문 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

A blue phosphorescent $Ir(dfpypy)_3$ (dfpypy:fluorinated pyridine-pyridine ligand) complex with meridional configuration has been synthesized by newly developed effective method and its solid state structure and photoluminescence are characterized. For this complex, mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$, the glass-transition and decomposition temperatures appear at $160^{\circ}C$ and $384^{\circ}C$ respectively in TGA and DSC experiments, which indicates that this complex has high thermal stability. In a crystalline structure, an average Ir-C bond length of mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$ is slightly longer than that of fac-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$, which assumed to be due to the weak trans-influence. The absorption and emission spectra are observed more red-shifted in mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$ than fac-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$. In addition, the former is readily oxidized than the latter in electrochemical behavior.

The ameloblastic carcinoma is an extremely rare, aggressive odontogenic neoplasm of the jaws. It is described as an ameloblastoma in which there is histologic evidence of malignancy in the primary or recurrent tumors, regardless of whether it has metastasized. We report an aggressive case of ameloblastic carcinoma of the mandible. A 68-year-old man with the complaint of the left facial swelling and intermittent pain was referred to our hospital. Serial images of panoramic radiograph, computed tomograph, and magnetic resonance imaging showed an ill-defined destructive radiolucent lesion of the left mandible. The lesion had typically aggressive behavior with extensive local destruction of bone and extended to the adjacent soft tissues. Bone scan revealed increased uptakes in the left mandibular body and ramus regions. Histological features were generally resembled with those of an ameloblastoma but with cytologic features of epithelial malignancy.

Inflammatory pseudotumor was originally described in the lung, but recently has been recognized to occur in various sites. A 56-year-old female was referred to our department with a painless swelling of the right midfacial area since 3 months ago. Clinical examination showed non-specific intraoral findings, but asymmetric facial appearance and numbness of the right midfacial area. Plain radiographs and CT images showed aggressive destruction and irregular thickening of the right maxillary sinus wall, increased antral opacification, and destruction of the zygomatic arch. A relatively well-defined soft tissue mass occupied the right maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, zygoma, and infraorbital region. The soft tissue mass showed mild enhancement on CT. Radiographically, this lesion presented a rapidly enlarging mass demonstrating aggressive behavior, mimicking a malignant tumor. Histopathologic examinations showed plasma cells and inflammatory cells in variable fibrotic tissues and demonstrated positive reactivity for vimentin. No malignent changes could be found.

The emotional interface is essential technology for the robot to provide the proper service to the user. In this research, we developed emotional components for the service robot such as a neural network based facial expression recognizer, emotion expression technologies based on 3D graphical face expression and joints movements, considering a user's reaction, behavior selection technology for emotion expression. We used our humanoid robots, AMI and AMIET as the test-beds of our emotional interface. We researched on the emotional interaction between a service robot and a user by integrating the developed technologies. Emotional interface technology for the service robot, enhance the performance of friendly interaction to the service robot, to increase the diversity of the service and the value-added of the robot for human. and it elevates the market growth and also contribute to the popularization of the robot.

Wolff-Hirschorn syndrome is a condition that is caused by a deletion of genetic material near the end of the short (p) arm of chromosome 4. The major features of this disorder include a characteristic facial appearance, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, and seizures. A 9-year-old girl was brought to the clinic with a chief complaint of dental examination. The child was diagnosed as WHS at Samsung medical center. The child was under Sodium valproate, Atrovastatin medication for epilepsy, hyperlipidemia and had a history of heart surgery. So prophylactic antibiotics were recommended. The child was mentally retarded and had seizure so it was difficult to manage her behavior effectively. Thus dental treatment was carried out under general anesthesia. For prompt sedation induction we used 8% sevoflurane shortly. This report presents the case of a 9-year-old girl with WHS, who has received treatment for extensive caries under general anesthesia.

플레이어 경험연구는 게임콘텐츠에 대한 플레이어의 행동과 심리적 반응을 포함하며, 포괄적인 게임경험보다는 특정 게임요소에 대한 플레이어의 미적경험에 집중하고 있다. 본 논문은 게임플레이 과정에서 도출되는 플레이어의 미적경험 데이터를 코드로 제시하고 어드벤처 게임을 대상으로 플레이어 경험수준별 미적경험 데이터를 분석하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 기존 게임분석 연구의 한계를 보완할 수 있으며, 창작자가 게임디자인 단계에서 적용할 수 있는 실질적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
