Purpose: Mulliken's method allows for normal nasal and lip growth, which in turn forms a natural shape of the philtrum. Therefore, we used a modified Mulliken's method to correct unilateral and bilateral cleft lip nasal deformities and followed the patients for 10 years. Methods: Ninety-one patients, who had undergone repair of unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity simultaneously using Mulliken's method during the time period from June 1997 to June 2009, were enrolled into this study. To follow-up of the growth of the lips and nose after the operation, the following 5 anthropometric measurements were analyzed: nasal tip protrusion, columellar length, upper lip height, cutaneous lip height, and vermilion mucosa height. Results: Using this method, we obtained a result that there was no significant difference in the development of the lip compared to the normal control group, and that the bilateral cleft lip patients' nasal projection and columellar length was shorter than that in normal persons. Both measures were statistically significant. Conclusion: Mulliken's method is a superb surgical technique, which enables the normal development of the nose and lip, which further allows for the innate philtrum appearance. The author's result does not seem to be meaningful, because the normal rate of nasal growth is slow before adolescence; however, we recommend additional follow-up and accordant treatment, if needed, once the nasal growth is complete.

Bone grafts are becoming increasingly common in oral and maxillofacial surgery to improve bone healing procedures. Bovine bone as a xenograft is a representative osteoconductor and space filler; however, sometimes complications, such as infection and wound dehiscence are encountered with its use. We report the result of an eight-year follow-up of a xenograft case and processing methods of inorganic bovine bone along with a review of the literature. Xenograft ($LUBBOC^{(R)}$) was used in a cyst enucleation site of the maxilla, as a bone substitute and space filler. Inflammation and infection were defined several times as lack of osseous contact between the graft and host bone, caused by remodeling failure over an eight-year period. Pathologic findings of the xenograft revealed dead bony trabeculae with inflamed fibrous tissue and actinomycosis.

In order to verify the validity of the exhibition moethod in a science museum, this study undertakes a visitor follow-up survey, and clarifies the influence an exhibition method affect visitor's behavior, and its feature. The tracking research performed the visitor follow-up survey to family company children. The characteristic of the visitor's behavior by the exhibition method; Use frequency becomes low in order of 'Experience type' 'Participation type' 'Fixed type'. Experience type has tendencies, such as repetitive and continuing use, and use time was long. Otherwise use time of Fixed type was short. As a result, although the use frequency of Hands-on is high and its use time is longer than Hands-off, it turns out that is influenced according to factors, such as the exhibition method, presentation and the contents of exhibition.

Between 1977 and 1987, 8 patients underwent excision of cardiac myxomas at the Hanyang University Hospital. All had a left atrial myxoma. There were 4 female and 4 male patients ranging from 15 to 62 years of age. Preoperative findings consist of symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure except one. Diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography[8 cases] and angiography[2 cases], preoperatively. A biatrial operative approach was utilized in all but 2, who were small sized. Complete excision of the tumor with a cuff of normal tissue[1 was atrial wall and 7 were atrial septum] was performed. all heart chambers were carefully explored for presence of multicentric myxomas or tumor debris. There were no operative deaths or intraoperative embolization. Follow-up has been 1/3 to 10 years. There has been 1 late death, due to recurrence and 1 patient had reoperation for mitral regurgitation due to dilatation of the annulus by a huge tumor mass. Surgical excision of the myxoma can be performed with low morbidity, and it provides excellent and sustained symptomatic relief. The recurrence rate is low, but long-term follow-up and serial echocardiography are advisable.

This research was focused on evaluating the intervention program for preventing the recurrence of conjugal violence. It was based on family system perspectives because the conjugal violence was considered as the result of dysfunctional interactions between spouses. Especially, a follow-up study was conducted by the telephone interview one year later after the program ended. There were some findings as follows: First, the physical violent behaviors never reoccurred, but the verbal ones still continued. Second, this program had an effect on decreasing the recurrence of conjugal violence.

The result of thoracotomy for recurrent and persistent pneumothorax is usually excellent. However the patients undergone thoracotomy suffer from postoperative chest pain and require long postoperative recovery period. Also the operative incision scar gives the patients cosmetic problems. Subpleural blebs are usually causes of pneumothorax. They can be reached through the thoracoscope without thoracotomy and can be ablated by electrical cautery through it. Six patients with recurrent and persistent pneumothorax were managed thoracoscopic-ally. Five patients were successful and one case was failed. The failed case was explored 21 days after thoracoscopy. Follow-up period was from one to eight months. Although the follow-up period was short, thoracoscopic management of recurrent and persistent pneumothorax is thought to be good for preventing thoracotomy.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which the thymus gland is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis. Thymectomy is now standard therapy, and improvements in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and respiratory care and the use of plasmapheresis have markedly reduced the operative morbidity. We experienced 7 myasthenia gravis with maximal thymectomy from November 1989. As compared with the results of previous classic transsternal thymectomy group the 25 patients who were operated from June 1979 to December 1991[Group B], excellent surgical result was obtained in maximal thymectomy group[Group A]. During follow-up period that ranged from a month to 10.7 years[mean 2 years], the remission rate for the entire group was 15.6 percent and an additional 71.9 percent had improvement[87.5 percent benefited]. In Group A, the remission rate was 42.9 percent with 100 percent of the patients benefiting from operations. But in Group B, 8 percent had remission and a total of 80 percent benefited. In both Groups, there was no operative mortality but there was one case`s mortality in Group B during follow-up period.

Purpose Displaced lateral end fracture of clavicle and acromioclavicular dislocation type Ⅲ∼Ⅵ may be required surgical treatment. Material and Methods : From May 1998 to March 2001, we operated with Welter plate with minimal incision by one surgeon. Immediately, pendulum and passive exercise was initiated after surgery. The shoulder function was evaluated using UCLA score. Average follow up was on 28(12∼45) months. Results : All 11 patients were regained satisfactory function. Average UCLA score was 31.9(29~35) at last follow up. Conclusion . The merit of Welter plate fixation with minimal incision is simple technique, reduced surgical time, smaller scar than large plate, strong fixation, early exercise, reduced implant failure. The disadvantage is expensive, skin irritatatation by long hook. But Welter plate fixation with minimal incision is a good method of internal fixation and excellent clinical result in surgical treatment of type H displaced lateral end fracture of the clavicle and type Ⅲ∼Ⅵ acromioclavicular dislocation.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of clinical study was to evaluate the survival of dental implants used in restoring patients with implant supported removable partial dentures (ISRPDs) of different configurations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of 20 consecutively treated partially edentulous patients, who, between 2003 and 2008, had a total of 84implants placed in different arch sites and who were treated with ISRPDs. The mean age was 57 years. Mean follow up time from delivery of ISRPDs was 3 years 2 months (range, 1 to 6 years). Osseointegration failure, postoperative complication of dental prosthesis, and the success rate of ISRPDs were retrospectively evaluated using clinical and radiographic examination. RESULT The overall implant survival rate was 100%. During follow up, the one clasp of removable partial denture was broken in 1 year11 months after prosthesis delivery. All patients were satisfied with their prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS Implant supported removable partial dentures could serve as favorable prognosis. Careful patient selection, with an appropriate maintenance and recall system, is recommended to obtain satisfactory results.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of physiotherapy on the range of motion (ROM) of patients with hemophilic arthropathy after total knee replacement (TKR) during treadmill gait. Method: Nineteen patients (age range, 30-61 years) who received physiotherapy at the Korea Hemophilia Foundation (KHF) Clinic in Seoul between 2011 and 2013 after TKR were recruited. Protocol rehabilitation was performed (KHF Clinic, Department of Physiotherapy) with an average follow-up of 70 days (range, 6-141 days). Result: Physiotherapy after TKR improved the ROM parameters, including the post-operative average ROM. The post-operative and follow-up ROM also significantly increased. Conclusion: Patients with hemophilia require different physiotherapeutic techniques and need dedicated post-operative care in comparison with the general population.
