A map is bisingular if each edge is either a loop or an isthmus (i.e., on the boundary of the same face). In this paper we study the number of rooted bisingular maps on the sphere and the torus, and we also present formula for such maps with four parameters: the root-valency, the number of isthmus, the number of planar loops and the number of essential loops.

This study is to investigate the canal system in the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar. 61 maxillary first molars were randomly selected. Serial transverse sections were made perpendicular to the long axis of the mesiobuccal root. Each section was placed in 3% sodium hypochlorite for 24 hours and rinsed in water and dried. The resected surface was stained with 2% methylene blue dye and examined with stereomicroscope. 1 Canal configuration analysis showed that 36.1% of the specimen classified as type I, 16.4% as type II , 37.7% as type III and 9.8% as type IV. 2. Type II canal was merged in one canal within 1 to 4mm of the apex. 40% of type II canal converged at 2mm of the apex. 3. Type IV canal was divided into two canal within 2 to 4mm of the apex. 66.6% of type IV canal branched off at 2mm of the apex. 4. None of the sections had more than two main root canal. 5. 48.4% of the sections in 3mm with two canals contained an isthmusand more than 70% with two canals has isthmus at 4 to 5mm sections. 63.9% of the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molar had two canaland 76.5% of sections with two canals in 5 MM had an isthmus. Because of this complexity the clinician should always search for extra canal carefullyand root canal system, including an isthmus, should be cleaned and shaped completelyand obturated three dimensionally for successful endodontic treatment.

This experiment was carried out to study the egg transports and distribution patterns in the oviducts of superovulated rabbits by administrations of PGF2$\alpha$. Group I (3 does) and Group II (3 does) were killed at 24 hours, 48 hours after mating, respectively. Group III (6 does0 received a single injection of 5mg/Kg of body weight of PGF2$\alpha$ at 24 hours after mating and killed at 4 hours after PGF2$\alpha$ administration. The oviducts were frozen in LN-gas, thawed using Howe's method, and cleared in Benzyl-Benzoate sol. using Orsini's technique. The location of the eggs and the AIJ. were identified using transmitted light from a dissecting microscope. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The average numbers of detected eggs from the oviduct were 28.6 (26-32), 26.0 (24-29), and 27.1 (22-34) in Group I, II, and III, respectively. 2. Detection rate was 88.7%, 76.4%, and 84.9% in Group I, II, and III, respectively. 3. The positionof all AIJ. was 44.2% to 55.0%(av. 49.5%) of the distance from the fimbriae to the UTJ.(Utero-Tubal Junction). 4. The changes of egg distribution patterns were as follows: Group I Ampulla : 52.3%, Isthmus : 47.7%, Group II Ampulla : 8.9%, Isthmus : 91.1% Group III Ampulla : 8.0% Isthmus : 92.0%.

Restorative procedures can lead to weakening tooth due to reduction and alteration of tooth structure. It is essential to prevent fractures to conserve tooth. The resistance to fracture of the restored tooth may be influenced by many factors, among these are the cavity dimension and the physical properties of the restorative material. The placement of direct composite resin restorations has generally been found to have a strengthening effect on the prepared teeth. It is the purpose of this investigation to study the relationship between the cavity isthmus and the fracture resistance of a tooth in composite resin restorations. In this study, MO cavity was prepared on maxillary first premolar. Three dimensional finite element models were made by serial photographic method and isthmus(1/4, 1/3, 1/2 of intercuspal distance) were varied. Two types of model(B and R model) were developed. B model was assumed perfect bonding between the restoration and cavity wall and R model was left unfilled. A load of 500N was applied vertically at the first node from the lingual slope of the buccal cusp tip. This study analysed the displacement, 1 and 2 direction normal stress and strain with FEM software ABAQUS Version 5.2 and hardware IRIS 4D/310 VGX Work-station. The results were as follows : 1. Displacement of buccal cusp in R model occurred and increased as widening of the cavity, and displacement in B model was little and not influenced by cavity width. 2. There was a significant decrease of stress resulting in increase of fracture resistance in B model when compared with R model. 3. With the increase of the isthmus width, B model showed no change in the stress and strain. In R model, the stress and strain increased both in the area of buccal-pulpal line angle and the buccal side of marginal ridge, therefore the possibility of crack increased. 4. The stress and strain were distributed evenly on the tooth in B model, but in R model, were concentrated on the buccal side of the distal marginal ridge and buccal-pulpal line angle, therefore the possibility of fracture increased.

The resistance to fracture of the restored tooth may be influenced by many factors, among these are the cavity dimension and the physical properties of the restorative material. The placement of direct composite resin restorations has generally been found to have a strengthening effect on the prepared teeth. It is the purpose of this investigation to study the relationship between the cavity isthmus and the fracture resistance of a tooth in composite resin restorations. In this study, MO cavity was prepared on the maxillary left first molar and then filled with composite resin. Three dimentional model with 3049 nodes and 2450 8-node blick elements was made by the serial photographic method and isthmus (1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 of intercusplal distance between mesiobuccal cusp tip and mesiolingual cusp tip) was varied. Two types of model(B and R model) were developed. B model was assumed perfect bonding between the restoration and cavity wall and R model was left unfilled. A load of 1500N was applied vertically on the node from the lingual slope of the mesiobuccal cusp. The results were as follows : 1. There was a significant decrease of stress resulting in increase of fracture resistance in B model when compared with R model. 2. When it comes to stress distribution, the stress was concentrated in the facio-gingival line angle and the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity in both Band R model. 3. With the increase of the isthmus width, the stress decreased in the area of the facio-gingival line angle, and increased in the area of facio-gingival line angle as well as the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity in B model. In R model, the stress increased both in the area of facio-gingival line angle and the buccal side of the distal margin of the cavity, therefore the possibility of crack increased. 4. As the width of cavity increased, in B model, the direction of crack moved from horizontal to vertical on the facio-gingival line angle and the facio-pulpal line angle. In R model, the direction of the crack was horizontal on the facio-gingival line angle and moved from horizontal to the $45^{\circ}$ direction on the facio-pulpal line angle.

본 연구의 목적은 isthmus가 존재하는 하악 대구치의 근심 근관에서 근관세척방법에 따른 잔사제거효과를 평가하는 것이다. 45개의 하악 대구치의 근심근관을 #30 Profile .06까지 확대하였다. 각 근관을 3개의 군으로 나누고 conventional irrigation syringe와 초음파, RinsEndo를 사용하여 1분간 최종 세척하였다. 조직표본을 제작한 후, 광학현미경으로 치근단 1, 3, 5 mm 부위의 단면을 관찰하였다. 근관과 isthmus의 잔사 양으로 청결도를 계산하고 Mann-Whitney U test로 검정하였다. 1. 초음파 군과 syringe군은 5 mm부위의 isthmus를 제외한 나머지 부위에서 청결도의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. RinsEndo군은 syringe군에 비해 1 mm, 3 mm부위의 근관과, 모든 부위의 isthmus에서 유의하게 높은 청결도를 나타내었다 (p<0.05). 3.초음파 군과 RinsEndo군은 3mm부위의 근관을 제외한 나머지 부위에서 청결도의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 임상적으로 RinsEndo를 이용한 근관세척방법의 부가적인 적용이 하악 대구치의 근심근관의 잔사제거에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs and others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized nomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh loci computer. The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal (tare Index are greater by the amount of approximately 8" and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round , and (3) the distance between the lesser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shorter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be dif- ferent (rom the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies.
