Purpose: To evaluate the radiographic characteristics of the tarsometatarsal osteoarthritis with hallux valgus deformity and report the clinical results of the operative treatment. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 20 patients, 22 feet who had been operated for non-traumatic tarsometatarsal osteoarthritis with hallux valgus (TMT group) and control group of hallux valgus patients without tarsometatarsal osteoarthritis (26 patients, 28 feet) from April 2004 to July 2011. Radiographic characteristics were compared between the groups, using hallux valgus angle, $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ intermetatarsal angle, metatarsal length ratio, metatarsus adductus angle, talonavicular coverage angle, talus-$1^{st}$ metatarsal angle, calcaneal pitch angle and medial cuneiform height. Pre- and postoperative difference of $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ metatarsal declination angle and distance between the $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ metatarsal head were evaluated. The clinical results were evaluated by American Orthopaedics Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scale and visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: Metatarsal length ratio was significantly larger in TMT group (p<0.001). Metatarsus adductus angle, talonavicular coverage angle, talus-$1^{st}$ metatarsal angle on lateral radiograph, calcaneal pitch angle and medial cuneiform height were different from control group (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.010, p=0.006). Postoperative declination of the $2^{nd}$ metatarsal and distance between the $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ metatarsal head were increased (p=0.009, p=0.001). The AOFAS and VAS score were improved (p<0.001, p<0.001). Conclusion: Non-traumatic osteoarthritis of the tarsometatarsal joints seems to be associated with long 2nd metatarsal length, metatarsus adductus and flatfoot deformity. Spur excision may be successful to relieve symptoms when the arthritis was diagnosed in early stage.

It is essential to establish the suitable position for artificial maxillary anterior teeth, because of not only esthetics, phonetics, mastication, but also optimal position of artificial posterior teeth for the construction of functional and esthetic prostheses. Anatomic landmarks have been used in the arrangement of artificial teeth. Such as incisive papilla and palatal rugae are useful landmarks for positioning occlusal rim and upper anterior artificial teeth because they are relatively stable and to be identified on master cast. Therefore, if average distance between maxillary anterior teeth and landmarks in dentate subjects are measured and applied, appropriate position of occlusal rim can be initially established. In this study, to present a guide to the position of the occlusal rim for upper anterior teeth of edentulous patients, horizontal distance between anatomic landmarks were measured. Maxillary casts were made in 72 Korean dentate subjects. Horizontal distance between central incisor and incisive papilla, between incisive papilla and intercanine line, and between primary palatine rugae and gingival margin of canine were measured on each cast. The results of this study were as follows ; 1. The mean distance from the incisal edge of central incisor to the posterior border of incisive papilla was 12.1 mm (Male 12.2 mm, Female 11.9 mm). 2. The mean distance between posterior border of incisive papilla and intercanine line was 3.5 mm (Male 3.4 mm, Female 3.6 mm / Left 3.6 mm, Right 3.4 mm). 3. The mean distance from the palatal gingival margin of canine to the lateral border of primary palatine rugae was 2.4 mm (Male 2.4 mm, Female 2.4 mm / Left 2.4 mm, Right 2.3 mm). 4. On all measured items, there were no significant differencies in measured values between male and female, and between left and right sides. (P>0.05).

The thirty six mandibular second molars, which were extracted because of hopeless tooth due to advanced periodontal disease, were measured the length of mesial and distal root and the distance from cementoenamel junction to root separation. The molars were cross-sectioned every 1.5 milimeter from cementoenamel junction to root apex perpendicular to long axis and each section was photographed, projected and measured with a calibrated Digital Curvi-Meter(Com Curvi-8. Japan). The root surface area (RSA), percentage of the RSA and the linear variation of the RSA were calibrated for each 1. 5 mm section. The results were as follows. 1. The mean length of the roots was 12. 98mm for mesial root, 11.84 mm for distal root. The mesial root was longer than distal root.(p<0.01) 2. The mean distance from the cementoenamel junction to the point at which the root separate from the root trunk was 3.82mm for the buccal furcation and 4.75mm for lingual furcation. The buccal root separation was coronal than the lingual root separation.(p<0.01) 3. The total root surface area was $317.78mm^2$. 4. The mean surface area of the root trunk was $150.06mm^2$ and averaged 42.54% of the total root surface area. 5. The mean root surface area was $88.79\;mm^2$ for the mesial root, $78.93mm^2$ for distal root, The mesial root surface area was wider than the distal root surface area.(p<0.05) 6. In comparision, the mean root trunk surface area of the mandibular 2nd molar was wider than that of mandibular 1st molar(p<0.01), but each root of 2nd molar was smaller than that of 1st molar(p<0.01).

Purpose: The integrity of interproximal hard/soft tissue has been widely accepted as the key determinant for success or degree of root coverage following the connective tissue graft. However, we reason that the gingival biotype of an individual, defined as the distance from the interproximal papilla to gingiva margin, may be the key determinant that influence the extent of root coverage regardless of traditional classification of gingival recession. Hence, the present study was performed with an aim to verify that individual gingival scalloping pattern inherent from biotype influence the level of gingival margin following the connective tissue graft for root coverage. Methods: Test group consisted of 43 single-rooted teeth from 21 patients (5 male and 16 female patients, mean age: 36.6 years) with varying degrees of gingival recession requiring connective tissue graft; 20 teeth of Miller class I and 23 teeth of Miller class III gingival recession, respectively. The control group consisted of contralateral teeth which did not demonstrate apparent gingival recession, and thus not requiring root coverage. For a biotype determination, an imaginary line connecting two adjacent papillae of a test tooth was drawn. The distance from this line to gingival margin at mid-buccal point and this distance (P-M distance) was designated as "gingival biotype" for a given individual. The distance was measured at baseline and 3 to 6 months examinations postoperatively both in test and control groups. The differences in the distance between Miller class I and III were subject to statistical analysis by using Student.s t-test while those between the test and control groups within a given patient were by using paired t-test. Results: The P-M distance at 3 to 6 months postoperatively was not significantly different between Miller class I and Miller class III. It was not significantly different between the test and control group in a given patient, either, both in Miller class I and III. Conclusions: The amount of root coverage following the connective tissue graft was not dependent on Miller's classification, but rather was dependent on P-M distance, strongly implying that the gingival biotype of a given patient may play a critical impact on the level of gingival margin following connective tissue graft.

Although various technical details of the surgical procedures have been improved, Skeletal relapse is the most noteworthy complication of orthognathic surgery. It seems to be an imbalance of the perioral muscular groups resulting from changes in the cavitas oris propria after surgery. Among other factors, it is widely known with the changes of tongue posture, as indicated by the hyoid position. Ten patients that had undergone mandibular setbacks by way of Modified Obwegeser method were evaluated retrospectively. The serial cephalometric films were taken preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, after removal of IMF, and at a subsequent long-term follow-up period. The cephalometric evaluation of tongue posture were based on stable craniofacial landmarks. The relation between the 2-dimensional changes of tongue posture and hyoid position and the relapse of mandibular setback are discussed. Anatomic changes that were found to accompany such setback are as follows. 1.There are 2 cases of relapse in 10 patients at long-term follow-up(20%) 2.The tongue was moved posteriorly and its size was reduced anteriorly and posteriorly at immediate postoperative change and then the mandible shifted slightly toward the preoperative position, but the long was adapted to its new environment due to changing the position of its posterior part, and also the hyoid that moved posterioly and inferiorly was stabilized sightly posteriorly than its original position. 3.On the distance change of the suprahyoid muscle, the distance of P-H, ST-H was increased at immediate postoperative change(p<0.01) and decreased at IMF period(p<0.001), but the distance of H-Me, H-Ge was slightly decreased at IMF and long-term period(p<0.05). 4.On the width change of the pharyngeal air way, the width of the upper part of the pharyngeal space was lightly contracted at IMF and long-term period(p<0.05). 5.On the relation between mandibular setback and tongue posture and hyoid position, the significant correlation was found between the changes of some parts of mandibular setback and those of tongue posture, and not found those of hyoid position.

This study was performed to examine the effects of therapeutic doses of ultrasound on cell migration distance and proliferation of biopsies from articular cartilage. Articular cartilage biopsies were isolated from proximal part of the tibial of chicken, and cultured. Cartilage explants were exposed for a single 5 min to ultrasound with $0.1{\sim}1.6\;W/cm^2$ (spatial average-temporal average) at a frequency of 1 MHz. A control group was treated with the ultrasound generator switched off. The cell migration distance and cell proliferation analysis were performed on day 6 after stimulation of ultrasound. The results revealed that ultrasound influenced cell migration distance and cell proliferation in intensity-dependent manner. It was found that ultrasounds at $0.2\;W/cm^2$, $0.4\;W/cm^2$, and $0.8\;W/cm^2$ were significantly increase respectively both cell migration distance and cell proliferation (p<0.05). However, cell migration distance and cell proliferation were not affected by exposure ultrasound at $0.1\;W/cm^2$ and $1.6\;W/cm^2$ compared with control group. These results suggest that low-intensity ultrasounds at $0.2\;W/cm^2$, $0.4\;W/cm^2$, and $0.8\;W/cm^2$ may stimulate cell proliferation of the chondroblasts, and reflect a potential role in cartilage repair.

Apolipoprotein B-100 (Apo-B100) is a major component of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Apo B-100 protein has 4,536 amino acid sequence and these amino acids are classified into peptide groups A to G with subsequent 20 amino acids (P1-P302). The peptide groups were act as immunoglobulin (Ig) antigens which oxidized via malondialdehyde (MDA). The mimetic peptide P1 (EEEMLENVSLVCPKDAT RFK) out of D-group peptides carrying the highest value of IgG antigens were selected for structural studies that may provide antigen specificity. Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra were measured for peptide secondary structure in the range of 190-250 nm. Experimental results show that P1 exhibit partial of ${\beta}-sheet$ and random coil structure. Homonuclear (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY) 2D-NMR experiments were carried out for NMR signal assignments and structure determination for P1. On the basis of these completely assigned NMR spectra and distance data, distance geometry (DG) and Molecular dynamics (MD) were carried out to determine the structures of P1. The proposed structure was selected by comparisons between experimental NOE spectra and back calculated 2D NOE results from determined structure showing acceptable agreement. The total Root-Mean-Square-Deviation (RMSD) value of P1 obtained upon superposition of all atoms was in the range $0.33{\AA}$. The solution state P1 has mixed structure of ${\beta}-sheet$ (Glu[1] to Cys[12]) and random coil (Pro[13] to Lys[20]). These NMR results are well consistent with secondary structure from experimental results of circular dichroism. Structural studies based on NMR may contribute to the studies of atherosclerosis and observed conformational characteristics of apo B-100 in LDL using monoclonal antibodies.

In order to find the causes of velopharyngeal incompetency after primary palatorrhaphy in cleft patients, we analyzed the form and function of the velopharyngeal space of fifteen operated cleft palate patients and five normal subjects. The velopharyngeal function was evaluated by lateral cephalometric radiography, velopharyngography and hypernasality cul-de-sac test. The obtained results were as follows. 1. The rate of velopharyngeal incompetency was twenty percent, three of the fifteen operated patients. Two of them were complete cleft palate and the other was incomplete one. 2. The length of soft palate and levator eminence were longer in normal group than those of good speech group and complete cleft palate group during phonation of /i/ (P<0.05). The lengthening rate of soft palate was smaller in good and poor speech group than that of normal group(P<0.05), and, reduced in order, normal group, complete cleft palate group and incomplete palate group(P<0.05). 3. The nasopharyngeal distance had no significant difference between all groups at rest, but, smaller in normal group than that of both cleft palate group(P<0.05), good speech group and poor speech group(P<0.05) during phonation of /i/ The difference in nasopharyngeal distance between rest and /i/ phonation was greater in normal group than that of both cleft palate group, good speech group and poor speech group. 4. The moving distance of sop palate reduced in order, normal group, incomplete cleft palate group, complete cleft palate group(P<0.05). 5. The distance between lateral pharyngeal wall had no significant difference between all groups in rest, but, smaller than that of complete cleft palate group in normal group(P<0.01) and increased in order normal group, good speech group, poor speech group(P<0.01) during phonation of /a/. The mobility of lateral wall was reduced in order, normal group, good speech group poor speech group(P<0. 01). 6. There was low corelationship between the mobility of lateral pharyngeal wall and soft palate. Therfore, it suggest that the movements of lateral pharyngeal wall and soft palate occurs independently.
