Statement of problem: The meaning of the beauty has a little different nature according to a time, culture, and nation. Purpose : This study was undertaken to estimate the geometric esthetic criteria for Korean woman by analysis of facial photograph in a smiling. Material and methods: The facial photographs of 678 Korean beautiful woman were collected from Miss Korea candidates(from 1971 to 2003 year). The dento-facial composition was measured and analyzed geometrically on computer monitor using $Adobe^{(R)}$ $Photoshop^{(R)}$ 7.0. The statistical significance of the differences among the 4 decade groups was estimated by a $x^2$ test. Result : The Korean beautiful woman skewed the geometric characteristics such as the 'coincidence' (83.0%) between facial midline and dental midline, the 'normal' (96.9%) alignment and arrangement of upper anterior teeth. the 'average' (79.1%) position and 'upward' (53.4%) curvature of upper lip, the 'parallel' (85.7%) relationship between the lower lip and upper anterior incisal curvature, the 'touching' (49.9%) and 'not-touching' (44.8%) relationship between upper anterior incisor and towel lip, the 'first premolar' (54.1%) and 'second premolar' (38.9%) displayed in a smile, and the 'symmetry' (89.4%) of smile. There was statistical significance among the 4 decades in the respect of the upper lip curvature, the relationship between upper anterior incisor and lower lip, and the most posterior teeth displayed in a smile (p<0.05). Conclusion : The Korean beautiful woman showed similar results to the western esthetic criteria in the some respects and the tendency that the Korean woman had more active smiling recently.

본 연구는 안면비대칭 환자의 악교정수술 시 경조직 이동에 따른 연조직 변화를 정면에서 평가함으로써 정면 얼굴 이미지 시뮬레이션 프로그램 개발에 도움이 되고자 시행되었다. 안면비대칭이 동반된 하악골 수술 예정 환자 45명을 대상으로 정모 두부방사선규격사진과 얼굴사진(photo)을 술전 및 술후에 각각 같은 각도로 촬영한 후, 술전 및 술후의 방사선사진을 이용하여 경조직 계측점의 변화를, 얼굴사진을 이용하여 연조직 계측점의 변화를 수평 및 수직으로 구분하여 각각 측정한 후 경조직 변화에 따른 연조직 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 연조직 변화와 경조직 변화의 상관성을 살펴본 결과 수평 방향, 수직 방향 모두에서 전반적으로 낮은 상관성을 보였으며, 1 : 1 mean ratio 산출을 위하여 서로 상관성이 가장 높은 경조직 계측점을 연조직 계측점별로 선택한 결과 직하방에 있는 경조직보다는 다소 멀리 떨어져 있는 경조직 계측점이 선택되는 경우가 많이 나타났다. 경조직 변화를 이용하여 연조직 변화를 예측할 수 있는 회귀방정식을 연조직 계측점별로 산출한 결과 연조직 수평변화 예측에 경조직 수직변화도 사용되고 연조직 수직변화 예측에 경조직 수평변화도 사용되었으며, 수평과 수직변화 모두에서 가장 설명력이 높은 방정식은 연조직 menton에서 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 하부 경조직 계측점과 상부 연조직 계측점의 비율을 이용하는 1 : 1 mean ratio 방법은 불가능한 것으로 나타난 반면 회귀분석을 이용한 연조직 변화 예측은 임상에 도움이 될 수 있는 것으로 나타나 정면 이미지의 경우 컴퓨터를 이용한 시뮬레이션 프로그램이 반드시 필요함을 시사하였다.

The prime objective of many facial wrinkle-reduction treatments is to achieve visible improvement. Thus the visibility of before/after treatment differences is often part of an efficacy assessment. This paper investigates whether the background knowledge of the people acting as observers in such assessments is of impact on the results: e.g. the subjects themselves are familiar with their faces, skin professionals have much experience in judging skin quality, and thus both might be more sensitive to small changes. In a clinical study 44 Female subjects were regularly treated during a period of 12 weeks with one of three wrinkle-reduction methods: K, Land M (placebo). Photographs were taken before treatment and at 6 and 12 weeks. The photographs were judged by 3 types of observers:ㆍ24 Lay observers were given the 0＆6-week and the 0＆12-week photo pairs of all subjects to indicate the one with the least wrinkles in a two-alternative forced-choice (TAFC) procedure.ㆍThe subjects themselves were given the 0＆6-weel and the 0＆12-week pair of their own photos (8 replications) to indicate the photo with the least wrinkles (TAFC).ㆍA trained panel of skin professionals (N=3) each gave 9-point Fitzpatrick wrinkle-severity scores for all individual 0-week and 12-week photos. We found that the lay observers perceived the same differences as the subjects themselves: significant improvements after 12 weeks for treatment K (p<0.0005 and p=0.005, respectively), no visible effects for treatments Land M, and, most importantly, a significant difference between treatments K and M/placebo (p=0.02 and p=0.04, respectively). Also the trained panel found this difference between K and M (p=0.013), but here it was due to a significant deterioration over time of the 'placebo-treated' wrinkles (M, p=0.03). Thus in conclusion we have found no indications that extra knowledge - in the form of familiarity with the own face or in the form of professional training - results in the identification of more treatments that show significantly visible wrinkle-reduction.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Miso facial acupuncture on facial reduction and improvement of skin condition. Methods : From March to May 2012, 20 women in their twenties to forties with no facial diseases were recruited. Miso facial acupuncture was performed on the both side of their face twice a week, total seven times. The 3D face photographs of each participant were checked 5 times ; before treatment, after 1st treatment, 4th treatment, 7th treatment and 10 days from the last treatment using RS-400FL(Morpheus Co. Korea) and REAL FACE. The surface distances of the 4 lines on the face were measured using Renai MEF program. The improvement of skin condition was evaluated by water content, trans epidermal water loss(TEWL), erythema index and melanin index using MPA 5. They were checked 4 times ; before treatment, 4th treatment, 7th treatment and after 10 days from the last treatment. We analyzed data using Paired t-test(p<0.05) and Wilcoxon signed rank test(p<0.05). Results : One case was dropped out due to pain and edema after 4th treatment. The surface distances of the 4 lines on face were significantly reduced and maintained after 10 days from last treatment. Water content was significantly increased and maintained after 10 days from last treatment. TEWL was significantly decreased. Erythema index was significantly decreased from the 3rd evaluations. Melanin index was slight decreased with no significance at the 2nd evaluations. Conclusions : These results show that Miso facial acupuncture can reduce sizes of the face and improve skin condition such as water content, TEWL and erythema index except melanin index.

Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulty inferring other people's feelings from their facial expressions and/or from situational cues, and therefore, they are less able to respond with prosocial behavior. We developed a computer-based training program to help teach the connection between facial-based or situation-based emotions and prosocial behavioral responses. An 8-year-old male school child with ASD participated in the study. In this program, he was trained to identify persons in need of help and appropriate prosocial responses using novel photo-based scenarios. When he misidentified emotions from photographs of another's face, the program highlighted those parts of the face which effectively communicate emotion. To increase the likelihood that he would learn a generalized repertoire of emotional understanding, multiple examples of emotional expressions and situations were provided. When he misidentified persons expressing a need for help, or failed to identify appropriate helping behaviors, role playing was used to help him appreciate the state of mind of a person in need of help. The results of the training indicated increases in prosocial behaviors during a laboratory task that required collaborative work. His homeroom teacher, using a behavioral rating scale, reported that he now understood another's emotion or situation better than before training. These findings indicate the effects of the training are not limited to the artificial experiment situation, but also carried over to his school life.

Purpose: Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture is one of the most common facial injuries after facial trauma. As ZMC composes major facial buttress, it is a key element of the facial contour. So, when we treat these fractures, the operator should have a concern with the symmetry to restore normal appearance and function. But sometimes, unfavorable results may occur. The aim of this study is to analyze the unsatisfied midfacial contour after ZMC fractures reduction retrospectively and to point out the notandum. Methods: 369 patients, treated for fractures of the ZMC were included in the study. After the operation, such as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF with titanium or absorbable materials), open reduction, and closed reduction, midfacial contour was evaluated with plain films and 3-dimensional computed tomography. And unfavorable asymmetric midfacial contours were correcterd by secondary correction and re-evaluated. Gross photographs were obtained at outpatient clinic. Results: Total of 38 patients had got a facial asymmetry and among of them 24 patients were treated secondary revisional ORIF operations for correction of unfavorable result of after primary reduction. Two of them had received tertiary operations, three patients had got osteotomy more than after one year and six patients had got minor procedures. The etiology of asymmetry were lateral displaced simple fracture of arch (n=2), lateral displaced comminuted fracture of arch (n=6), comminuted arch fracture combined posterior root fracture (n=9), and communited arch and body fracture (n=12), severely contused soft tissue (n=9). After the manipulations outcomes were acceptable. Conclusion: To prevent the asymmetry in ZMC fracture reduction, complete analysis of fracture, choice of appropriate operation technique, consider soft tissue, and secure of zygoma position are important. Especially, we should be more careful about communited fracture of zygomatic body and lateral displacement, root fracture of zygomatic arch. Because they are commom causes that make facial asymmetry. To get optimal result, ensure the definite bony reduction.

본 논문에서는 손상된 흑백 얼굴 이미지를 컬러로 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 연구에서는 오래된 증명사진처럼 손상된 흑백 사진에 컬러화 작업을 하면 손상된 영역 주변이 잘못 색칠되는 경우가 있었다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 입력받은 사진의 손상된 영역을 먼저 복원한 후 그 결과를 바탕으로 컬러화를 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 제안 방법은 BEGAN(Boundary Equivalent Generative Adversarial Networks) 모델 기반 복원과 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) 기반 컬러화의 두 단계로 구성된다. 제안하는 방법은 이미지 복원을 위해 DCGAN(Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks) 모델을 사용한 기존 방법들과 달리 좀 더 선명하고 고해상도의 이미지 복원이 가능한 BEGAN 모델을 사용하고, 그 복원된 흑백 이미지를 바탕으로 컬러화 작업을 수행한다. 최종적으로 다양한 유형의 얼굴 이미지와 마스크에 대한 실험 결과를 통해 기존 연구에 비해 많은 경우에 사실적인 컬러 복원 결과를 보여줄 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively assess the relationship of smile esthetic variables with various types of malocclusion, and identify the cephalometric factors affecting smile measurements. Methods: This retrospective study included 106 patients who were treated with retention at the orthodontic department of Taipei Medical University Hospital. Hard-tissue variables were measured using lateral cephalographic tracings, and nine smile esthetic variables were measured using facial photographs. The patients were divided into three groups according to their overjet (< 0, 0-4, and > 4 mm). An analysis of variance was conducted to compare the pretreatment cephalometric variables and smile esthetic variables among the three groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the cephalometric factors affecting the smile measurements in each group. Results: Except the upper midline and buccal corridor ratio, all of the smile measurements differed significantly among the three groups before orthodontic treatment. Some of the smile characteristics were correlated with the cephalometric measurements in different types of malocclusion. The overjet was the major factor influencing the smile pattern in all three types of malocclusion. Conclusions: Smile characteristics differ between different types of malocclusion; the smile may be influenced by skeletal pattern, dental procumbency, or facial type. These findings indicate that establishment of an optimal horizontal anterior teeth relationship is the key to improving the smile characteristics in different types of malocclusion.

오래 전부터 교정진단 및 치료계획 수립 시 골격 및 치열 관계와 안모를 분석하기 위한 필수적인 진단 자료로 측모 두부방사선계측사진을 이용하였다. 하지만 최근 들어 심미적인 측면이 강조되면서 좀 더 정량화된 연조직 분석법이 필요하게 되었고 좀 더 사실적인 연조직 측모를 얻기 위해서는 측모 두부방사선계측사진보다는 측모 사진이 더 유용할 것이다. 아직까지 측모 사진을 계측, 분석하는 경우는 드물었기 때문에 이 연구에서는 측모 사진의 계측 분석을 측모 두부방사선계측사진 분석과 비교해 봄으로써 연조직과 경조직 분석이 서로 상관관계를 갖는지를 알아보고 그 대체 가능성을 시험 평가해 보고자 하였다. 교정과에 내원한 환자들 중 측모 두부방사선계측사진의 계측치인 ANB를 기준으로 I급 부정교합$(0^{\circ}{\sim}4^{\circ})$ 32명, II급 부정교합$(4^{\circ}{\leq})$ 32명, III급 부정교합$(-5^{\circ}{\sim}0^{\circ})$ 31명을 선정하였다. 각 피험자들의 측모 두부방사선계측사진과 측모 사진을 각각 촬영하여 수평적, 수직적 계측 항목을 설정한 후 각 계측치들의 평균과 표준편차를 구하였고 통계적 유의성을 알아보기 위해 표준화 변수 Z를 이용한 t-test와 상관분석을 이용하였다. 분석 결과 측모 두부방사선계측사진 분석에서 세 그룹간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이는 계측치들이 측모 사진에서도 유사한 차이를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과 측모 사진의 Su-N'-Pg'은 측모 두부방사선계측사진에서 상, 하악골의 전후방적인 관계를 나타내는 ANB를 대신하여 사용될 수 있으며, 측모 사진의 N'-Sn/Sn-Pg'은 측모 두부방사선계측사진의 NA/APg (facial convexity)을, 그리고 측모 사진의 N'-Tra-Me'는 측모 두부방사선계측사진의 FH-MP (mandibular plane)을 대신하여 사용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
