The aim of this experiment is to compare the healing process of extraction sockets after immediate implant placement with those using autogenous bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration with Gore-Tex. The first lower premolars and the second premolars of six experimental dogs were extracted and Stryker fin type implants were placed into the extraction sockets immediately after extraction. In the control group, any graft materials were'not used and the dead space around implants was left in itself and covered with only periosteum. In the experimental group A, implants were covered with Gore tex without any bone grafts, and in the experimental group B, the dead space around implants was filled with the bone chips gained from drilling procedure. Each experimental dogs were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 8th week and the specimens were observed by gross examination, radiological examination, and light microscopic examination. The following results were obtained. 1. Well healed soft tissue and no mobility of the implants were observed in control and two experimental groups. 2. In the radiogical examination, radiopacity around implants had been increased gradually. 3. In the microscopic examination, there were good healing process and active new bone formation in both in the experimental groups, Especially the more amount of new bone formation occurred in the experimental group B using bone chips. 4. Bone chip grafts and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) using Gore-Tex may be one of the successful methods in the immediate implantation.

The barrier membranes for GTR procedure could be affected bY bacterial contamination after exposure to oral environment. This study was done to evaluate whether the tetracycline impregnated barrier membranes could inhibit bacterial attachment and penetration into membranes. The resorbable membrane(polylactic and polyglycolide copolymer, $Resolute^{(R)}$, W.L Gore and Associates, Inc..USA) and the non-resorbable membrane(e-PTFE; Gore-TexTM, W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc.,USA) were cut into 4mm discs and trated with 5% tridodecylmethylammonium chloride solution in ethanol and dried in air. The membranes were immersed in tetracycline(TC) solution (100mg/ml, pH 8.0) and dried. To the maxillary canine-premolar region in six periodontally healthy volunteers, removable acrylic devices were inserted, on which 8 cylindrical chambers were glued with TC impregnated and non-impregnated discs, the membrane discs were examined for bacterial attachment and penetration, and structural changes under SEM and LM. From the 1st day to the 7th day, membranes showed bacterial plaque formation composed of cocci and rods. Thereafter, filamentous bacteria appeared and the plaque thickness increased. The TC impregnated e-PTFE membranes showed less bacterial attachment and delayed in bacterial plaque maturation than non-treated membranes. As for bacterial penetration, the TC impregnated e-PTFE membranes showed superficial invasion and infrequent presence of bacteria in unexposed inner surface at the 4th week. while the non-treated e-PTFE membranes showed deep bacterial invasion at the 2nd week and frequent presence of internal bacteria at the 4th week. The resorbable membranes started to be resorbed at the 2nd week and were perforated at the 4th week, regardless of TC treatment. In conclusion, bacterial plaque formation and penetration was efficiently delayed in TC impregnated e-PTFE membranes, whereas resorbable membranes were similar in bacterial invasion due to membrane degradation and perforation, regardless of TC treatment.

The importance of protecting people from harsh weather conditions cannot be over-emphasized and the way to. do so should be sought vigorously. The most well known and widely used weather protection fabric in the current industry is $Gor-Tex.^1$ However, the Gore-Tex membrane cannot be attached to cotton or other natural fibers so it's use is not suitable for clothing such as underwear. If the exterior of cotton fabric can be made to be hydrophobic without sacrificing the comfort and breathability, the result will be a cotton fabric with the weather protection capability equivalent to Gore-Tex as well as the ability to provide the best wear comfort. However, this should be done without using toxic and expensive gases to be environmentally friendly and cost effective. Therefore, our approach for hydrophobic treatments of fabric and metal surfaces is to utilize a plasma-based technique. In general, plasma processes do not produce chemical wastes or waste disposal problems and they are fully automated.

The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate thermal and water transmission properties of several vapor permeable water repellent (VPWR) fabrics and synthetic battings that became available in recent years. Five VPWR fabrics evaluated were Hipora in three coating variants, $Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$ and $Aitace^{\circledR}$. Battings evaluated were $Viwarma^{\circledR}$, $Uniwarmr^{\circledR}$, $Thinsulate^{\circledR}$, and $Airseal^{\circledR}$ Thermal resistance and water vapor transmission were measured for each fabric and batting and in all combinations. Thermal resistance at zero and 37 cm/sec air velocity was determined by the Thermo Labo II technique for simultaneously measuring conduction and radiation heat transfer. Water vapor transmission over 24 hours was measured by a modified weight-gain method in a compact humid chamber at conditions simulating the clothing climate under heavy exercise ($40{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, $90{\pm}2\%$ R.H., and 0.5 m/sec air velocity). Fabric porosity was calculated from fiber density and fabric weight, thickness, and area. Thermal resistance results for the fabrics showed the effectiveness of coatings in inhibiting heat transfer. Measurements taken in wind were: $31.1\~37.6\%$ for $Hipora^{\circledR}$ variants; $31.0\%$ for $Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$; and $18.4\%$ for $Aitaca^{\circledR}$ Measurements without wind were higher but in the same order. Water vapor transmission results were in reverse order: $Aitac^{\circledR}$, $8.8 kg/m^{2};\;Gore-Tex^{\circledR}$, 6.4 kg/$m^{2}$; and $Hipora^{\circledR},\;4.4\~6.0\;kg/m^{2}$. In general thermal resistance increased with porosity. For battings, the thermal resistance with wind results were: $Viwarmu^{\circledR}$, $65.0\%;\; Thinsulate^{\circledR}$, $62.0\%$; $Uniwarm^{\circledR}$, $61.0\%$; and $Airseala^{\circledR},\;53.1\%$. Thermal resistance was proportional to thickness. Thermal resistance of fabric-batting combinations were $20\%$ higher than those of the battings only. Water vapor transmission for combinations was mainly affected by that for the VPWR fabric used.

Purpose: In dental clinical fields, various periodontal membranes are currently used for periodontal regeneration. The periodontal membranes are categorized into two basic types: resorbable and non-resorbable. According to the case, clinician select which membrane is used. Comparing different membranes that are generally used in clinic is meaningful. For this purpose, this study evaluates histological effects of various membranes in canine one wall intrabony defect models and it suggest a valuation basis about study model. Material and Method: The membranes were non-resorbable TefGen $Plus^{(R)}$, resorbable Gore Resolut $XT^{(R)}$ and resorbable $Osteoguide^{(R)}$. One wall intrabony defects were surgically created at the second and the mesial aspect of the fourth mandibular premolars in either right or left jaw quadrants in two dogs. The animals were euthanized 8 weeks post-surgery when block sections of the defect sites were collected and prepared for histological evaluation. Results: 1. While infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in control, TefGen $Plus^{(R)}$ and Gore Resolut $XT^{(R)}$, it was not observed in $Osteoguide^{(R)}$. 2. TefGen $Plus^{(R)}$ had higher integrity than others and $Osteoguide^{(R)}$ was absorbed with folding shape. Gore Resolut $XT^{(R)}$ was divided everal parts during resorbtion and it was also absorbed from inside. 3. Quantity of new bone and new cementum was not abundant in all membranes. 4. For histologic evaluation of membranes we should consider infiltration of inflammatory, migration of junctional epithelium, integrity of membrane, quantity of new bone and new cementum, connective tissue formation and aspect of resorption. Conclusion: This histologic evaluation suggests that $Osteoguide^{(R)}$ provides periodontal regenerative environment with less inflammatory state. It is meangful that this study model suggests a valuation basis about other study model.

Background Periareolar Augmentation Mastopexy is one of the most challenging operations in plastic surgery. Problems with scar quality, areolar widening, and distortion are frequent problems that interfere with a predictable result. Methods A retrospective review was performed on fifty consecutive patients who underwent a periareolar augmentation mastopexy with the interlocking approach. Of the 50 patients, 30 had both preoperative and postoperative photographs and were the basis of the study. Results The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 56 years with the average age being 39 years. The postoperative follow-up averaged 9.5 months and the implants averaged 316 mL. There were no deaths, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or infected implants. Four patients had complications following surgery for an overall complication rate of 13%. Two patients developed an infected Gore-Tex suture. Two of these complications were treated with revision surgery. Five patients required reoperation for an overall reoperative rate of 16% (one patient was converted to a full mastopexy). Conclusions As a result of this retrospective study, we have found the interlocking approach to periareolar augmentation/mastopexy to be a safe and reliable operation.

Rupture of an innominate artery caused by blunt chest trauma is extremel rare because this artery is short and relatively well protected by the bony cage. This report describes a 37-year-old male who sustained a blunt chest injury that resulted in an innominate artery rupture, detected by chest CT and thoracic aortography. The patient underwent an urgent operation through median sternotomy. A 3 by 3 m sized pseudoaneurysm of proximal innominate artery was found with a complete intimal tear. After the origin of the innominate artery was closed, the injured segment of artery was excised and an aorto-innominate artery bypass with a 10 mm Gore-tex graft was performed without use of a shunt. The patient was discharged 20 days later without neurologic complications and had equal blood pressure in both arms.
