The purpose of this study was to develop on east-west nursing intervention program. This study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of using facial meridian points for massage nursing intervention on the recovery of facial paralysis for 46 patients (22 for experimental group). All had suffered from strokes, and were also admitted to the division of oriental medicine in K University Hospital. Method: Data was collected from February 1st to December 31st of 2000. This study used a quasi experimental, non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test design. The recovery of facial paralysis was measured by the difference between left and right facial length, observation and self report on a seven point scale, and facial discomfort by a facial scale after 6-7 facial massages in a two week period. Data was analyzed using the SPSS package program with x2 and t test. Result: The result of this study are as follows; The experimental group who received the facial meridian massage showed higher scores in recovery of facial paralysis (t=2.72, p=.009), and a smaller difference between left and right facial strength than those in control group (t=2.26, p= .29). The discomfort of the facial area in the experimental and control group showed no significant differences. Conclusion: These findings indicate that a facial meridian points massage could be an effective nursing intervention to the recovery of facial paralysis. This study contributes in developing an east-west nursing intervention with the oriental meridian theory and western massage therapy.

Background : When surgeons plan mandible ortho surgery for patients with skeletal class III facial asymmetry, they must be consider the exact method of surgery for correction of the facial asymmetry. Three-dimensional (3D) CT imaging is efficient in depicting specific structures in the craniofacial area. It reproduces actual measurements by minimizing errors from patient movement and allows for image magnification. Due to the rapid development of digital image technology and the expansion of treatment range, rapid progress has been made in the study of three-dimensional facial skeleton analysis. The purpose of this study was to conduct 3D CT image comparisons of mandible changes after mandibular surgery in facial asymmetry patients. Materials & methods : This study included 7 patients who underwent 3D CT before and after correction of facial asymmetry in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of Yeungnam University Hospital between August 2002 and November 2005. Patients included 2 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 16 years to 30 years (average 21.4 years). Frontal CT images were obtained before and after surgery, and changes in mandible angle and length were measured. Results : When we compared the measurements obtained before and after mandibular surgery in facial asymmetry patients, correction of facial asymmetry was identified on the "after" images. The mean difference between the right and left mandibular angles before mandibular surgery was $7^{\circ}$, whereas after mandibular surgery it was $1.5^{\circ}$. The right and left mandibular length ratios subtracted from 1 was 0.114 before mandibular surgery, while it was 0.036 after mandibular surgery. The differences were analyzed using the nonparametric test and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test (p<0.05). Conclusion: The system that has been developed produces an accurate three-dimensional representation of the skull, upon which individualized surgery of the skull and jaws is easily performed. The system also permits accurate measurement and monitoring of postsurgical changes to the face and jaws through reproducible and noninvasive means.

The interrelationships between growth rates (and size) of the selected cranifacial dimensions and body dimensions (height and weight) were investigated in the longitudinal data of primary school children from 6 to 11 years of age. The data were obtained from serial cephalometric radiographs and health record which were taken at one year interval. Regression analyses were used to analyze the data. The main concludions might be summarized as follows; 1. Size relationships between body height (and weigh) and S-Gn, posterior facial height (s-Go), total mandibular length (Ar-Gn) showed high significant correlation, but no association between body height, weight and anterior cranial base length (S-N). 2. Correlation coefficients between facial dimensions and body height (and weight) were getting lower with age increase. 3. At all age groups, significant prediction equation for some facial dimensions with body height and weight were obtained. 4. In this sample, the growth rates of facial dimensions and body height and weight showed almostly constant during this age period and the growth rate of body height and weight of girls was exceeded that of boys. 5. A relatively high degree of variation between individuals existed in the sample. 6. A positive correlation was found for the relationship between the growth rates of facial dimensions and those of body height (and weight) in boys and girls, but was not found in total samples.

하악전돌증(mandibular prognathism or mandibular prognathic patient) 환자의 경우 전후방과 수직적 악골(maxilla)의 부조화정도가 심하거나 안면측모(facial profile)에 대한 심미적 인식도가 클 때에는 교정치료만으로는 심미적으로 만족한 결과를 얻기가 어려우므로 악교정수술(orthognathc surgery)과 병행되어야만 한다. 이럴 경우 심미적인 개선은 환자의 치료결과에 대한 만족도에 중요한 요소가 되고 있지만 미에 대한 기준을 객관화하는데는 많은 문제점을 갖고 있어 그 평가도 환자자신의 주관적인 관점에 의하여 내려지게 된다. 우리나라의 경우 얼굴심미에 대한 기준이 서구인의 외형을 선호하는 경향이 있어 전통적인 둥그런 얼굴보다는 달걀형의 갸름한 얼굴모양을 선호한다. 이 연구는 하악전돌증으로 인한 악교정수술결과 술후 얼굴폭이 넓어져 수술전보다 얼굴의 모양이 둥그렇게 되었다고 호소하는 환자가 있어 시도하게 되었다. 악교정수술전후의 안모길이 및 폭경의 변화에 관한 연구를 위하여 하악전돌증을 주소로 악교정수술을 받은 총 14명 환자(남자 8명, 여자 6명)의 정모두부방사선사진 계측(skull PA analysis)과 설문조사를 통하여 수술후의 안모변화 및 환자의 만족도에 대한 분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 14명의 환자중 3명($21.4\%$)이 얼굴이 넓어졌다고 답하였다. 2. 악교정수술(orthognathic surgery)후 하악골폭경 (mandibular width)은 A군은 변화가 없었으며, B군은 0.7mm 감소하였고, 안면폭경 (zygomatic width)은 A군에서는 0.45mm, B군에서는 0.66mm의 증가를 보였다. 3. 악교정수술후 얼굴길이의 변화는 A군에서는 상안면 고경(upper facial height)이 0.52mm증가, 하안면고경(lower facial height)이 1.19mm감소, 하악골 고경(mandibular height)이 0.7mm감소하였으며, B군에서는 상안면 고경이 0.67mm 감소, 하안면고경이 3.66mm 감소, 하악골 고경이 5mn감소하였다. 4. 수술후 안면폭경에 대한 안면고경(facial height)의 비율은 A군에서 $1.5\%$, B군에서 ,$3.6\%$ 감소하였다. 5. 수술후 안면폭경에 대한 하악골 길이(mandibular height)의 비율은 A군에선 $1.3\%$, B군에서 $4.4\%$ 감소하였다. 6. 수술후 하악골폭경에 대한 하악골 길이(mandibular height)의 비율은 A군에서 $1.3\%$, B군에서 $4.3\%$ 감소하였다. 7. 수술로 인한 얼굴폭의 변화는 무시할만한 것으로 판단되나 수술후 얼굴의 길이가 짧아져 상대적으로 얼굴의 폭이 넓어보일 수 있으므로 수술시 이에 대한 충분한 고려 및 환자에 대한 설명이 있어야 한다.

The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to achieve normal occlusion and good facial esthetics for individual patients. To produce harmonized facial balance, treatment planning for patient who require orthodontic treatment should include both a hard tissue and soft tissue cephalometric analysis. Author studied to derive the normal standards of soft tissue profile in Koreans by roentgenocephalometric analysis. For this study 12 soft tissue profile landmarks were plotted and 23 linear length, 9 soft tissue thickness, 8 vertical height length, 12 angles of soft tissue profile, and 3 vertical proportion were measured. The subjects consisted of 166 males and 209 females from 7 to 19 years with normal occlusion and acceptable profiles, and were divided into five groups according to age. The obtained results were as follows; 1. From the basis of N-Pog (Nasion-Pogonion) plane, the growth of facial soft tissue in the middle region especially nose area was greater than others facial region. 2. From the basis of G-Pog' (Glabella-soft tissue Pogonion) plane, the values of linear measurement of soft tissue Nasion and Inferior labial sulcus decreased and nose tip grew forward as growing older. 3. The growth of the facial soft tissue thickness was greatest in superior labial sulcus and the thickness of soft tissue nasion gradually became thinner as growing old. 4. The thickness of upper and lower lip was 14.47mm, 14.57mm in adulr male, 12.76mm, 13.78mm in adult female. 5. The soft tissue thickness of the lower lip was thicker than that of upper lip in all age groups and both sexes, 6. The vertical length of the upper and lower lips were 25.04mm, 49.97mm in adult male and 23.50mm, 48.39mm in adult female. 7. By the significant test, there were significant difference between male and female in fifth adult group on all vertical length measurements of lower face. 8. In fifth adult group, the perpendicular distance from LS, LI to Steiner's line and Ricketts' esthetic line were as follow; Steiner line to LS, LI were 7.98mm, 5.84mm in male. Steiner line to LS, LI were 6.71mm, 5.08mm in female. Ricketts' esthetic line to LS, LI were -0.40mm, 1.72mm in male. Ricketts' esthetic line to Ls, LI were -1.38mm 0.65mm in female. 9. In fifth adult group, the facial convexity angle and lower facial component angle were $171.17^{\circ}142.94^{\circ}$ in male and $172.5^{\circ}$, $144.41^{\circ}$ in female.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare asymmetric mandibular prognathism individuals with symmetric mandibular prognathism individuals using a new alternate spherical coordinate system. Materials and Methods : This study consisted of 47 computed tomographic images of patients with mandibular prognathism. The patients were classified into symmetric and asymmetric groups. Mandibular and ramal lines were analyzed using an alternate spherical coordinate system. The length as well as midsagittal and coronal inclination angle of the lines was obtained. The bilateral differences of the spherical coordinates of the facial lines were statistically analyzed in the groups. Results : There were significant differences between the groups in bilateral difference of the length and midsagittal inclination angle of the lines (p<0.05). The bilateral difference of the length and midsagittal inclination angle of the lines has significant correlation with chin deviation (p<0.05). Conclusion : The new alternate spherical coordinate system was able to effectively evaluate facial lines. The bilateral difference of lengths and midsagittal inclination of the facial lines might contribute to the facial asymmetry in mandibular prognathism individuals.

1. Objective This research looks into the facial characteristics of Sasang constitution. 2. Methods It assigns and measures the length of nine areas of the face using a picture, and calculates the proportions and gives statistical data of these items. It also references the proportion of the items using the contents of "Sanghakjinjeon" ("相學眞傳") Ten face-types as a basis, divides the face into seven types, looks into the similarities between constitutions, and also compares it to clinically and frequently used constitutional facial characteristics. 3. Results and Conclusion After comparing the analytical items between Taeumins, Soyangins, and Soeumins, Soeumins had an oval face due to the fact that the length and width that their lower faces took up was small compared to the entire face. After dividing the facial characteristics of the test subjects using 十字相, there were significantly more Taeumins in Dong(同)_face-type, and Soeumins in Won(圓)_face-type. There weren't any significant group that Soyangins showed up in. After comparing these facial characteristics with that of previous facial characteristics found in books and used clinically, we were able to find corresponding items.

Sixty male patients with polysomnographically documented OSA were included in this study. A pair of cephalograms were obtained in the upright and supine positions. In the supine position, the ANB angle, lower facial height and the cross-sectional area of soft palate increased and there was a decrease in the vertical airway length and oropharynx cross-sectional area. Positional changes did not affect the cross-sectional area of tongue, but the cross-sectional area of the oropharynx decreased in the supine position. The obese group had higher AI and RDI. Maxillary unit length, C3-H, the cross-sectional areas of tongue, soft palate and oropharynx were significantly greater in the group Obese than in non-obese group. No correlation was noted between the mandibular unit length and OSA severity, The group of small mandibular unit length showed shorter lower facial height and maxillary unit length, and smaller cross-sectional area of tongue than the long mandibular unit length group. Hyold bone positioned more inferiorly and cross-sectional area of nasopharynx decreased as the OSA severity increased.

This study is a preliminary study to design a character automation system that considers the facial characteristics of mammals. The experimental data of this study was conducted on dogs (dog breeds) and humans, which were designed to be used in many contents. First, data was extracted from 100 types of dogs and 100 human data. Second, the criteria for measuring the ratio of important parts of the dog and human face were suggested. In addition, a comparative analysis of the face of a dog and a human face is conducted. Lastly, by analyzing the main component(PCA), the most characteristic elements in the faces of dogs and humans were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the length of the face, the size of the eyes, the length of the glabellar, and the length of the glabellar and other parts are important. Through this study, the features of the dog's face that are different from humans are expected to contribute to the animal character automation.
