Various literatures related computing of information processing have been recently shown the researches inspired from the remarkably excellent human capabilities which recognize and categorize very complex visual patterns such as body motions and facial expressions. Applied from human's outstanding ability of perception, the classification function of visual sequences without context information is specially crucial task for computer vision to understand both the coding and the retrieval of spatio-temporal patterns. This paper presents a biological process based action recognition model of computer vision, which is inspired from visual information processing of human brain for action recognition of visual sequences. Proposed model employs the structure of neural fields of bio-inspired visual perception on detecting motion sequences and discriminating visual patterns in human brain. Experimental results show that proposed recognition model takes not only into account several biological properties of visual information processing, but also is tolerant of time-warping. Furthermore, the model allows robust temporal evolution of classification compared to researches of action recognition. Presented model contributes to implement bio-inspired visual processing system such as intelligent robot agent, etc.

The facial patterns were expressed by the interrelation of variable factors such as heredity, function and environment. Such variable factors have an effect on the growth and development of maxillofacial bones. The malocclusions with skeletal discrepancies are caused by abnormal forms, sizes and positions of cranial base, maxilla and mandible. For the proper diagnosis and treatment planning, the analysis of such structures is necessary. Lateral cephalograms of 54 adults with class III malocclusion patients (test group) and 61 adults with normal occlusion (control group) were analyzed. Anteroposterior relations and sizes of cranial base, maxilla, mandible were estimated to compare with those of normal ones. In test group, the anterior cranial base length was within normal range, but posterior cranial base, maxilla and mandibular body were longer than those in control group, significantly. Based on the cranial base, the location of maxilla in test group was normal, but the location of mandible was more anterior than that in control. Based on the maxilla, the location of mandible was more anterior in test group than that in control. Both mandibular body and ramus anteroposterior lengths in test group were larger than those in control. Both mandibular plane angle and upper gonial angle were within normal range, but lower gonial angle was significantly high in test group.

A new surgical approach to the area of the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space is described. This approach results in a wide-field exposure of the infratemporal fossa, pterygomaxillary space and parapharyngeal space. We used two osteotomies on the patient's mandible and temporary resection of zygomatic arch for superior margin of tumor. Lower lip splitting was not needed because the incision was started in the frontal scalp, curved in front of and below the external auditary canal, and extended anteriorly to the greater horn of hyoid bone on the neck along a skin crease. We had good results without sacrifice of the facial nerve, mandibular function and sensory supply of the face and oral cavity.

The lower $2^{nd}$ molar eruption is beginning to mesiolingually, then rotate to distobuccally so it has a tendency to be tilted and impacted mesially. Signs and symptoms of impacted $2^{nd}$ molar are similar to impacted $3^{rd}$ molar's. However, treatment plan for impacted $2^{nd}$ molar is different from that of impacted $3^{rd}$'s. The former is the preservation and uprighting of $2^{nd}$ molar so that it could act to recovery of mastication, symmetrical facial growth, maintaining the symmetry of dental arch, stable occlusion, while the latter is the extraction of tooth. If the uprighting treatment is planned, most proper protocol of treatment and the additional treatment opition should be applied with consideration for it's crown exposure, present of $3^{rd}$ molar which interrupt the uprighting process, extrusion of opposite tooth. Although it could not improve the esthetic result, it could prevent many dental problems. Therefore, uprighting for impacted lower $2^{nd}$ molar is meaningful treatment.

Periosteum in general is described as a specialized fibrous membrane of mesenchymal origin consisting of two basis layers : outer fibrous layer consists of irregularly arranged dense connective-tissue with fibroblasts, and inner osteogenic or cambial layer is composed of more loosely arranged fibers, greater vascularity and flatted spindle-shaped pre-osteoblasts. This periosteum may serve in controlling bone growth, especially mandibular growth has been emphasized. But, the periosteum enwrapping the facial skeleton have been studied for many years leaving a controversy in opinion regarding the function of these structures. We evaluated the bone formation activity of te periosteum in allogeneic bone grafts which bones are made of freeze-dried preparation preoperatively. We made the calvarial bone defects, 5 ${\times}$ 7mm sized, amd grafted with allogeneic bone in rats, which a half of specimens has dissected the overlying periosteum and a rest intacted. After bone grafting, we evaluated the capacity ofbone formation of periosteum, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks postoperatively. There are subtle differences of bone formation during early healing period after demineralized allogeneic bone grafting between control groups with periosteum and experimental groups without periosteum.

Maxillectomy is a treatment option for maxillary cancer, which leaves the patient with a palatal defect. It may cause problems with facial deformation, swallowing, mastication, and speech. These functional problems and changes in appearance may result in psychological problems. To control these deficits after maxillectomy, surgical reconstruction or prosthodontic treatment can be chosen as a treatment option. Obturator prosthesis has been used as a preferred method of rehabilitation for most maxillectomy patients. This case is a patient who was classified Aramany classification II hemi-maxillectomy patient with residual teeth from #11-25, whose teeth had substantial labioversion and clinically lengthened from alveolar bone involution, thus making it hard to select proper framework design and resist to the rotational dislodging force of the obturator. Therefore we selected swing-lock attachment design to remain pre-existing crown and bridges and obtain retention and stability of obturator. The swing-lock RPD is economical than the conventional RPD because we can remain pre-existing crown and bridges. And residual teeth which have mobility and poor prognosis can be successfully retained through properly designed swing-lock RPD as it is functioning as a removable splint on the teeth.

This paper proposes an efficient face recognition system using phase difference between the face images. We use a Karhunen-Loeve transform for image compression and reconstruction, and obtain the phase difference by using normalized inner product of the two compressed images. The proposed system is rotation and light-invariant due to using the normalized phase difference, and somewhat shift-invariant due to applying the cosine function. The faster recognition than the conventional system and incremental training is possible in the proposed system. Simulations are conducted on the ORL images of 40 persons, in which each person has 10 facial images, and the result shows that the faster recognition than conventional recognizer using convolution network under the same recognition error rate of 8% does.

Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, recently recognized as a form of paraneoplastic encephalitis, is characterized by a prodromal phase of unspecific illness with fever that resembles a viral disease. The prodromal phase is followed by seizures, disturbed consciousness, psychiatric features, prominent abnormal movements, and autonomic imbalance. Here, we report a case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis with initial symptoms of epilepsia partialis continua in the absence of tumor. Briefly, a 3-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital due to right-sided, complex partial seizures without preceding febrile illness. The seizures evolved into epilepsia partialis continua and were accompanied by epileptiform discharges from the left frontal area. Three weeks after admission, the patient's seizures were reduced with antiepileptic drugs; however, she developed sleep disturbances, cognitive decline, noticeable oro-lingual-facial dyskinesia, and choreoathetoid movements. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis was confirmed by positive detection of NMDAR antibodies in the patient's serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and her condition slowly improved with immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone, and rituximab. At present, the patient is no longer taking multiple antiepileptic or antihypertensive drugs. Moreover, the patient showed gradual improvement of motor and cognitive function. This case serves as an example that a diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis should be considered when children with uncontrolled seizures develop dyskinesias without evidence of malignant tumor. In these cases, aggressive immunotherapies are needed to improve the outcome of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Destruction of normal temporomandibular joint architechture may produce serious functional and cosmetic deficiencies. The literature is well documented as to the etiology and pathogenesis of temporomandibular joints. Numorous surgical procedure have been advocated for temporomandibular joint ankylosis from condylectomy to arthroplasty, cartilage transplant, metallic prosthesis, interpositional implant. These were to able reconstruct the normal mandibular function, and any even procedure could obtain the satisfactory results. In this paper, we reviewed young adult patient with TMJ ankylosis and facial asymmetry who was treated with metallic condylar prosthesis and orthognathic surgery.
