Background: Ankle sprains are a common clinical ankle disorder and alternations in tibiofibular joint biomechanics along with the talus are thought to contribute to its occurrence. During ankle joint dorsi flexion, proper movement requires the talus to glide posteriorly. Due to the wider front of the talus head, achieving the end range of dorsi flexion necessitates both superior and posterior glide of the distal fibula and anterior glide of the proximal fibula. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tibiofibular joint mobilization on pain, range of motion, and balance in patients with lateral ankle sprains. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to a control group (n=33) or an experimental group (n=31). Both groups underwent ankle joint mobilization three times a week for two weeks. Additionally, the experimental group received proximal and distal tibiofibular joint mobilization three times a week for two weeks. Measurements were obtained pre-intervention and post-intervention (after 2 weeks). Results: Evaluation parameters included the visual analog scale score (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and one-leg standing test (OLS). Post-intervention, both groups demonstrated significantly improved results for all assessments (p<.01). A significant intergroup difference was observed only in the ROM (p<.01) and OLS (p<.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that tibiofibular joint mobilization, combined with ankle joint mobilization, may be beneficial in enhancing outcomes for individuals with lateral ankle sprains.

The objectives of this study, an analysis of the variation for leaf and fruit characteristics among the selected ten populations of Sorbus commixta Hedl. could be used for the conservation of gene resources and could provide information to superior trees selection. The results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows; Approximately, the Mt. Sungin population at Ulleung island showed larger values in overall characteristics and populations. On the other hand, Mt. Halla population at Jeju island showed the smaller values of the overall characteristics and populations. ANOV A tests showed that there were statistically significant differences in all leaf characteristics among the populations as well as individual trees within populations. But, for fruit characteristics, differences were statistically significant only among the populations. Cluster analysis using single linkage method based on leaf and fruit characteristics showed that ten selected populations of S. commixta in Korea could be clustered into three groups. Group I is Mt. Sungin at Ulleung island, Group II is Mt. Halla at Jeju island, and Group III comprises Osan, Mt. Kaji, Mt. Duckyoo, Mt. Balwang, Mt. Sobaek, Mt. O-dae, Mt. Jiri, and Mt. Taebaek. The selection level based on major agronomic traits, which are the Number of Fruit per Fruiting Lateral(NFL) over 50, and Fruit Length(FL) and Width(FW) over 10 mm, and Weight of 100 Fruit(WFI00) over 66 g, was applied on 100 sample trees, and five trees were selected. The selection effects from selected trees in NFL, FL, FW, and WF100 were evaluated as 132%, 151 %, 142%, and 264% compared to the mean of those 100 sample trees, respectively. Especially, Ulleung 2 showed excellent values that NFL and WFI00 were 95, and 69 g, respectively, suggesting a promising new cultivar for larger fruit and high productivity.

We performed the mechanical test for obtaining properties of femoral head. Tested sample was male and 35 years old. We measured bone mineral density by dual X-ray absorption method(DEXA). Results of DEXA, he has normal condition of bone density. His BMD $1.159g/cm^2$ and T-Score is 1.6. Tested femurs were harvested by surgical method from donated cadaver. We made 9 specimens in femoral head, 8 specimens in neck used by diamond core drill. Then we performed compressive test in saline solution at $38^{\circ}C$. We obtained results that elastic modulus of femoral head was 0.439GPa, neck was 0.459GPa. Compressive strength of femoral head was 7.441 MPa, neck was 7.095MPa. There was no significant difference of mechanical properties between left and right femoral head & neck. Invested local properties of femoral head have more strength superior and anterior side, femoral neck has more strength in superior and inferior side but other side except for superior has more weakness along the lateral side.

수평하중을 받는 현장타설말뚝을 합리적이고 경제적으로 설계하기 위해서 가장 중요한 것은 지구조 사이의 상호작용을 이해하는 것이다. 그러나 지난 수십년 동안 수평하중을 받는 깊은 기초의 거동에 대한 많은 연구가 있었음에도 불구하고, 문제의 성격상 삼차원적이며 비대칭성으로 인하여 더해지는 지반고유의 비선형성, 불균일성, 복잡성 때문에 극한수평지지력을 공식화하기란 매우 어렵다 본 연구에서는 특정한 현장조건, 기초의 기하학적 특성(D/B비),하중조건 등에 따른 많은 설계 방법들 중에서 가장 널리 알려진 네 가지의 방법(즉, Reese, Broms, Hansen, 그리고 Davidson)에 대해서 재검토하였다. 그리고 본 연구의 밀환으로 행한 모형실험으로 얻어진 하중-변위곡선을 쌍곡선으로 변환하여 해석된 방곡선수평지지력(H$_h$)과 위의 네 가지 방법들에 의하여 예측되는 극한수평지지력(H$_u$)을 비교하였다. Reese와 Hansen의 방법에 의해 구한 H$_u$ / H$_h$비는 각각 0.966와 1.015로서 실험결과와 매우 근사한 극한수평지지력을 제시하고 있다. 반면에 Davidson의 방법에 의해 구한 H$_u$는 에 비하여 $30\%$ 가량 큰 것으로 예측하고 있으나 네 가지 방법중에서 예측 수평지지력값에 대한 C.O.V.가 가장 작다. 네 가지 방법 중 가장 단순한 Broms의 방법은 H$_u$/ H$_h$: 0.896으로서 네 방법 중에서 극한 수평지지력을 가장 작게 평가하는 것으로 나타나지만 극한수평지지력값을 예측함에 있어서 가장 작은 S.D.를 보인다. 결론적으로, 네 가지의 방법 중 그 어 것도 극한수평지지력을 정확하게 예측한다는 면에서 다른 방법보다 더 우수하다고 할 수는 없다. 또한, 계산과정이 얼마나 정교하거나 복잡한 것과는 상관없이 극한수평지지력을 예측하는데 있어서 신뢰도는 또 다론 문제인 것 같다.

Background: The relationship between the lateral deviation of chin and the upper and middle facial third asymmetry is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation of upper and middle facial third asymmetry with lateral deviation of chin using 3-dimensional computed tomography. The study was conducted on patients who underwent orthognathic surgery from January 2016 to August 2017. A total of 40 patients were included in this retrospective study. A spiral scanner was used to obtain the 3-dimensional computed tomography scans. The landmarks were assigned on the reconstructed 3-dimensional images, and their locations were verified on the axial, midsagittal, and coronal slices. The Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between chin deviation and difference between the measurements of distances in paired craniofacial structures. Statistical analysis was performed at a significance level of 5%. Results: In mandible, the degree of chin deviation was correlated with the mandibular length and mandibular body length. Mandibular length and mandibular body length are shorter on the deviated-chin side compared to that on the non-deviated side (mandibular length, r = -0.897, p value < 0.001; mandibular body length, r = -0.318, p value = 0.045). In the upper and middle facial thirds, the degree of chin deviation was correlated with the vertical asymmetry of the glenoid fossa and zygonion. Glenoid fossa and zygonion are superior on the deviated-chin side than on the non-deviated side (glenoid fossa, r = 0.317, p value = 0.046; zygonion, r = 0.357, p value = 0.024). Conclusion: Lateral deviation of chin is correlated with upper and middle facial third asymmetry as well as lower facial third asymmetry. As a result, treatment planning in patients with chin deviation should involve a careful evaluation of the asymmetry of the upper and middle facial thirds to ensure complete patient satisfaction.

The facial esthetics are much affected by nasal changes due to especially its central position in relation to facial outline and so appropriately evaluated should be the functional and esthetic aspects of the nose associated with the facial appearance. Generally, a maxillary surgical movement is known to induce the changes of nasolabial morphology secondary to the skeletal repositioning accompanied by muscular retraction. These changes can be desirable or undesirable to individuals according to the direction and amount of maxillary repositioning. We investigated the surgical changes of bony maxilla and its effects to nasal morphology through the analysis of the lateral cephalogram in the Le Fort I osteotomy. Subjects were 10 patients(male 2, female 8, mean age 22.3 years) and cephalograms were obtained 2 weeks before surgery(T1) and 6 months after surgery(T2). The surgical maxillary movement was identified through the horizontal and vertical repositioning of point A. Soft-tissue analysis of the nasal profile was performed employing two angles: nasal tip projection(NTP), columellar angle(CA). Also, alar base width(ABW) was assessed directly on the patients with a slide gauge. The results were as follows; 1. Both anterior and superior movement above 2mm of maxilla rotated up nasal tip above 1mm. Either anterior or superior movement above 2mm of maxilla made prediction of the amount & direction of NTP changes difficult. Especially, a correlation between horizontal movement of maxilla and NTP rotated-up was P<0.01. 2. Both much highly anterior and superior movement of maxilla is accompanied by more CA increase than either highly. Especially, the correlation between horizontal movement of maxilla and CA change was P<0.05. 3. Anterior and/or superior movement of maxilla was accompanied by the unpredictable ABW widening. 4. The amount of changes of NTP, CA, and ABW is not in direct proportion to amout of anterior and/or superior movement of maxilla. 5. Nasal morphologic changes following Le Fort I osteotomy are affacted by not merely bony repositioning but other multiple factors.

본 연구자들의 앞선 연구에서는 햄스터 상구에서 AMPA 수용체의 아형인 GluR1과 GluR4의 분포와 눈 적출 이후 이들 수용체의 분포를 면역세포화학적 방법으로 연구하였다. 또한, 표지한 GluR1과 GluR4를 칼슘결합단백질인 calbindin D28K, calretinin, parvalbumin과 GABA로 표지하여 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 역행성이동추적물질(retrograde tracer)인 호스래디시퍼옥시다아제(horseradish peroxidase, HRP)를 상구의 각 주요 상행로와 하행로에 주입함으로써 GluR1- 면역반응 신경세포들과 GluR4- 면역반응 신경세포들이 투사신경세포(projection neurons)임을 밝혀내었다. Tecto-reticulospinal pathway (TRS)와 dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN)으로 HRP 를 주입한후, 햄스터들은 회복을 위해 48시간 동안 살려둔 뒤 관류(perfusion)하였다. GluR- 면역반응 처리된 절편들은 역행성 표지된 신경세포를 지님을 확인하였다. HRP를 주입하였더니 단지 적은 수의 GluR1- 면역반응 신경세포들이 TRS (1.4%)와 dLGN (2.6%)으로 투사되었고, 반면에 많은 수의 GluR4- 면역반응 신경세포들이 TRS (32.7%)로 투사되었다. 사이/투사 신경세포(inter/projection neurons)들은 GluR 아단위들의 분류된 분포와 차별화된 양상을 보였고 이들의 이러한 분포는 칼슘결합단백질들과 GABA와는 겹쳐지지 않았으며, 일전에 발표했던 시각적 행동 반응에서 안구 적출 후 수용체 아단위들의 기능적 다양화와는 차별화된 양상을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop an analytic model which can describe the behavior or concrete compressive member strengthened by CFS(Carbon Fiber Sheet) with various cross-sectional shapes such as circular. square, and octagonal and various laminate angles. The failure criterion of laminated CFS is based on Tsai-Wu failure criterion. The stress strain model of confined concrete compressive member is based on an equation proposed by Mander. The effective lateral confining pressure is considered and modified according to various cross-sectional shapes. Octagonal cross-section shows the best results in the aspect of ductility, while circular does in compressive strengthening effects. In addition, [0/0/0/0] laminate in which the direction of fiber is parallel to the direction of principal stress shows the superior strength and ductility than other laminates. The analytic results show that strength and ductility of the analytic model depend on the cross-sectional shapes as well as the laminate angles.

We developed a vapor induced crystallization (VIC) process for the first time to obtain high quality polycrystalline Si films by sublimating the mixture of $AlCl_3$ and $NiCl_2$. The VIC process enhanced the crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films. The LPCVD amorphous silicon thin films were completely crystallized after 5 hours at 480 $^{\circ}C$. It is known that needle-like grains with very small width grow in the Ni-metal induced lateral crystallization. In our new method, the width of grains is larger because the grain can also grow perpendicular to the needle growth direction. Also the interface between the merging grain boundaries was coherent. As the results, a polycrystalline film with superior microstructure has been obtained.

Direct anterior approach for lesions located anterior to the thecal sac is definitely superior to lateral or posterior approach in many respects. However, various anatomical obstacles and technical difficulties often hinder direct anterior approach. Thanks to ripe experience of retroperitoneal approach to the lumbar spine for anterior lumbar interbody fusion and total disc replacement, the authors could perform lumbar corpectomy and reconstruction by using midline retroperitoneal approach recently. During this approach, we repaired anterior longitudinal ligament also to reduce the risk of graft extrusion and to prevent erosion of vascular wall due to direct contact between metallic hardware, which was used for reconstruction of vertebral body, and major vessels.
