Purpose: This study was performed to survey the incidence and imaging characteristics of the antral exostoses in a Korean population. Materials and methods: The cone-beam computed tomographic images of 5,268 patients were reviewed for the presence of antral exostoses. Incidence, location, shape, structure and dimension were evaluated. Gender and side difference were analyzed by chi-squared test. Results: Ninety eight antral exostoses were found in 78 (1.5%) out of 5,268 patients. Gender and sides showed no statistically significant differences. Antral exostoses was often found in the lateral wall and floor of the maxillary sinus, accounting for 58.2% and 38.8% of the exostoses, respectively. Most exostoses had broad base and were composed of spongy bone surrounded by compact bone. The mean dimension was 9.1(W)*4.9(D)*5.3(H) mm. Conclusion: Antral exostoses is not uncommon in a Korean population. The identification of antral exostoses is clinically significant to avoid unnecessary examination and treatment. It also needs to be examined carefully in the implant planning or sinus lift procedure.

There are a number of construction methods to build spatial structures such as erection method, Element method, Block method, Sliding method, Lift-up method and Push-up method. These methods are uneconomical and low accuracy, and require long construction duration because of a need of a scaffold or a tower crane to build spatial roof frame. In this study, the construction method to erect a truss structure was proposed as an economical and easy installation method. The proposed method has end hinges of keel truss and winches with horizontal cable. This method makes safe and accurate production and reduces construction duration because trusses are built on the floor or supporter. The goal of this study is to verify the validity of construction method by building scale model using the proposed method.

Low back pain is one of major issues in musculoskeletal diseases mainly caused by MMH (Manual Material Handling) tasks. In Korea, the standards of NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Lift Equations in U. S. A. have been most widely used. However, there is no standard in case the height of one feet is higher than that of another one. Moreover, since the standards are developed in U. S. A., there are many limitations for the applicability of Korean workers. In this study, MVC(Maximum Voluntary Contraction) for four postures are measured and an empirical model based on SVR(Support Vector Regression) is constructed. Constructing SVR model, PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) is employed to investigate the optimal parameters of SVR. The results show that the performance of this empirical model is approximately accurate, even if the deviation of experimental values is large due to the individual differences. This empirical model may contribute to establish the standards of MMH tasks in Korea.

Purpose: Leg length discrepancy causes the posture deformation, gait asymmetry, and lower back pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation among functional leg length discrepancy (FLLD), muscle activity, muscle contraction onset time and vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) during simple lifting task. Methods: Thirty-nine subjects participated in this study. FLLD was measured from the umbilicus to medial malleolus of left and right leg using a tape. The subjects performed to lift a 10 kg box from the floor to chest. The muscle activity and muscle contraction onset time of rectus abdominis, erector spinae and rectus femoris was measured using EMG system and vGRF was measured by two force plate. Pearson correlation was used to fine out the correlation among FDDL, muscle activity, muscle contraction onset time and vGRF during simple lifting task. Results: Correlation between FLLD and difference of muscle activity of short-long side was very high (r>0.9) during simple lifting task. Correlation between FLLD and difference of muscle contraction onset time of short-long side was very high (r>0.9) during simple lifting task. And correlation between FLLD and difference of vGRF of short-long side was high (r>0.7) during simple lifting task. Conclusion: This study suggests that there is high correlation between FLLD and muscle activity, muscle contraction onset time, and ground reaction force during simple lifting task. Therefore, FLLD could negatively affect the postural balance.

Introduction: In our previous studies, we isolated porcine skin-derived mesenchymal stem cells (pSDMSCs) from the ears of adult miniature pigs and evaluated the pluripotency of these pSDMSCs based on expressions of transcription factors, such as Oct-4, Sox-2, and Nanog. Moreover, the characteristic of mesenchymal stem cells was revealed by the expression of various mesenchymal stem cell markers, including CD29, CD44, CD90, and vimentin. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo osteogenesis after maxillary sinus lift procedures with autogenous pSDMSCs and scaffold. Materials and Methods: The autogenous pSDMSCs were isolated from the 4 miniature pigs, and cultured to 3rd passage with same methods of our previous studies. After cell membranes were labeled using a PKH26, $1{\times}10^{7}$ cells/$100{\mu}L$ of autogenous pSDMSCs were grafted into the maxillary sinus with a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and fibrin glue scaffold. In the contralateral control side, only a scaffold was grafted, without SDMSCs. After two animals each were euthanized at 2 and 4 weeks after grafting, the in vivo osteogenesis was evaluated with histolomorphometric and osteocalcin immunohistochemical studies. Results: In vivo PKH26 expression was detected in all specimens at 2 and 4 weeks after grafting. Trabecular bone formation and osteocalcin expression were more pronounced around the grafted materials in the autogenous pSDMSCs-grafted group compared to the control group. Newly generated bone was observed growing from the periphery to the center of the grafted material. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that autogenous skin-derived mesenchymal stem cells grafting with a DBM and fibrin glue scaffold can be a predictable method in the maxillary sinus floor elevation technique for implant surgery.

This paper describes an intelligent ankle assistive robot which provides assistive power to reduce ankle torque based on an analysis of ankle motion and muscle patterns during walking on level and sloped floors. The developed robot can assist ankle muscle power by driving an electric geared motor at the exact timing through the use of an accelerometer that detects gait phase and period, and a potentiometer to measure floor slope angle. A simple muscle assistive link mechanism is proposed to convert the motor torque into the foot assistive force. In particular, this mechanism doesn't restrain the wearer's ankle joint; hence, there is no danger of injury if the motor malfunctions. During walking, the link mechanism pushes down the top of the foot to assist the ankle torque, and it can also lift the foot by inversely driving the linkage, so this robot is useful for foot drop patients. The developed robot and control algorithm are experimentally verified through walking experiments and EMG (Electromyography) measurements.

Purpose: By reviewing literature on the subject, we compared the survival rate of implants placed in various graft materials used for maxillary sinus augmentation. Materials and Methods: The search protocol used the Pubmed electronic database, with a time limit from 1998 to 2009. Keywords such as 'sinus lift,' 'sinus augmentation,' 'sinus floor elevation,' 'sinus graft,' 'bone graft,' 'implants,' 'oral implants,' and 'dental implants' were used, alone and in combination, to search the database. We selected articles and divided them into three groups by type of graft materials: Group 1. Autogenous bone group: autogenous bone alone; Group 2. Combined bone group: autogenous bone in combination with bone substitutes; and Group 3. Substitute group: bone substitutes alone or bone substitute combinations. Results: We selected 37 articles concerning a total of 2,257 patients and 7,282 implants; 417 implants failed. The total implant survival rate (ISR, %) was 94.3%. In Group 1, 761 patients and 2,644 implants were studied; 179 implants failed and the ISR was 93.2%. In Group 2, 583 patients and 1,931 implants were studied; 126 implants failed and the ISR was 93.5%. In Group 3, 823 patients and 2,707 implants were studied; 112 implants failed and the ISR was 95.9%. Conclusion: Implants inserted in grafts composed of bone substitutes alone or in grafts composed of autogenous bone in combination with bone substitutes may achieve survival rates better than those for implants using autogenous bone alone (P<0.05).

An augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor facilitates placement of dental implants in the posterior atrophic maxilla. However, a maxillary sinus augmentation has potential complications that can lead to early failure and loss of the bone graft. One specific complication is sinus membrane perforation. Especially, large perforations may cause loss of the graft materials into the sinus and infection, so, early failure of the sinus lift. Attempts at managing sinus membrane perforations are difficult because of the limited access to them and friability of the thin Schneiderian membrane. Repair of sinus membrane perforations intraoperatively may be performed using a variety of techniques and materials, including sutures, collagen membranes, fibrin glue. Inspite of various repair technique, as has been reported extensively in the literature, large perforations represent an absolute contraindication to the continuation of surgery. But, we obtained clinically favorable results in cases that show repair of the perforated sinus membrane with a micro-suture technique by 4X Loupe ($Surgitel^{(R)}$ Loupe, General Scientific Corporation) in large perforation. The objective of this presentation is to report of several cases of repair of the perforated sinus membrane with micro-suture technique using 7.0 or 8.0 suture materials, to make a brief review of the literature about various technique managing perforated sinus membrane.

대부분 필로티 구조 건물은 필로티를 통해야만 출입이 가능한 구조이고 주차장으로 사용할 경우 차량이 연쇄적으로 소훼되면서 짧은 시간에 필로티 전체로 확산된다. 연소 하중이 높은 차량과 천장 단열재에서 생성된 뜨거운 열기와 유독가스는 출입문을 파손시키고 건물내부로 유입되어 계단과 승강기 그리고 전선이 지나가는 피트(EPS)와 같은 경로를 통해 건물 상층으로 확대된다. 필로티에서 화재가 발생할 위험성은 다양하다. 만약 이곳에서 화재가 발생할 경우 입주민들은 건물에 갇혀 생존에 위협을 받을 수밖에 없다. 본 연구는 필로티에서 화재가 발생하여 5명이 사망하고 139명의 다친 의정부 아파트 화재 사례를 살펴보고 필로티 구조의 건물의 화재 취약성을 분석하였다.
