There are three types of papillary muscle of the left ventricle[finger, tethered and mixed type] according to the morphology of the attachment to the ventricular wall. Especially finger type of the papillary muscle is more vulnerable to the injury than tethered or mixed type, because their blood supply is dependent upon the central artery whose diameter is less than 1mm and the papillary muscle itself is the end organ of the heart anatomically. There are several causes of papillary muscle rupture but few cases have been reported. Recently we have experienced 3 cases of papillary muscle rupture of the left ventricle with successful mitral valve replacement and the causes are postmyocardial infarction, percutaneous mitral valvulotomy and non-penetrating chest trauma. The common finding is the morphology of papillary muscle, that is the finger type and their rupture type is the complete type.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masseter muscle thickness, facial morphology, and mandibular morphology in Korean adults using ultrasonography. Materials and Methods: Ultrasonography was used to measure the masseter muscle thickness bilaterally of 40 adults(20 males, 20 females) and was performed in the relaxed and contracted states. Facial photos and panoramic radiography were used for morphological analyses and evaluated for correlations with masseter muscle thickness. We also evaluated the correlations of age, body weight, stature, and body constitution with masseter muscle thickness. Results: In the relaxing, the masseter was $9.8{\pm}1.3mm$ in females and $11.3{\pm}1.2mm$ in males. In the contracted state, it was $12.4{\pm}1.4mm$ in females and $14.7{\pm}1.4mm$ in males. Facial photography showed that bizygomatic facial width over facial height was correlated with masseter muscle thickness in both sexes in the relaxed state, and was statistically significantly correlated with masseter muscle thickness in males in the contracted state. In panoramic radiography, correlations were found between anterior angle length and posterior angle length and masseter muscle thickness in females, and between body length and posterior angle length, between anterior angle length and body length, between ramal length and body length, and between body length and condyle length in males. Conclusion: Masseter muscle thickness was associated with facial and mandibular morphology in both sexes, and with age in males. Ultrasonography can be used effectively to measure masseter muscle thickness.

Experiment was conducted to study the effect of sources of dietary fiber on the intestinal morphology of geese. Sixty white Roman geese of two-week-old were divided randomly into six groups and were fed with isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets which contain alfalfa meal, barley hull, rice hull, purified cellulose, lignin, or pectin as the major dietary source of fiber. Different sources of dietary fiber significantly influenced the villi height and the crypt depth in the duodenum, and the villi height and the muscle layer thickness in the ileum (p < 0.05). The duodenal villus in the geese that fed diets with alfalfa meal, rice hull or pectin supplemented were significantly longest ($968.5{\mu}m$), whereas the lignin group was significantly shortest villus and deepest crypt depth (p < 0.05). The thicknesses of the ileal and caecal muscle layer were significantly thicker in the geese fed with cellulose supplemented diets than in those fed with the other treatment diets. The caecum of the barley bran fed geese possessed significantly longest villi and the most thick muscle layers (p < 0.05). From scanning electronic microscopic observation, the leafy and plate-like in the duodenal villi morphology of geese represented a more effective nutrient absorption in the small intestine. The morphology of ileal villi in geese was similar from herbivorous rabbit and from the African Green monkey.

The differentiation of mouse embryonic stem(ES) cell into smooth muscle cells(SMC) may play a major role in cardiovascular development and under pathophysiological conditions. Therefore, in the present study, we have examined the differentiation of ES cells and its related gene expression. SMC differentiation was indicated by cellular morphology and time-dependent induction of dibutyryl adenosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate(DBcAMP)and retinoic acid(RA) on smooth muscle ${\alpha}$-actin($SM{\alpha}A$), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain(SMMHC) gene expression. The control was undifferentiated ES cells(protein expressions represent 50-60kDaOct-4). The results of this study show that morphology of embryoid body and confirmation of $SM{\alpha}A$ expression by immunocytochemistry. Moreover, SMMHC and desmin expression was significantly increased by time dependent manner(5, 7, 15 days), in contrast to $SM{\alpha}A$ expression was slightly decreased on 15days. In conclusion, DBcAMP and RA stimulate mouse ES cells differentiation into SMC and enhanced $SM{\alpha}A$, SMMHC and desmin expression.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masticatory muscle thickness and mandibular morphology in young Korean adults with normal occlusion and mandibular prognathism. Patients and Methods: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was used to measure the masticatory muscle thickness on the right side in 100 Korean young adults (50 normal occlusion group, 50 mandibular prognathism group). Cephalometric analysis was done to measure mandibular morphology. Pearson correlation analysis was done to investigate the relationship between the masticatory muscle thickness and mandibular morphometry. Results: The four masticatory muscles showed positive correlation with intergonial width in all subjects. All muscles, except temporalis, positively correlated with height of the ramus and mandibular length. Positive correlation was also observed in all muscles, except medial pterygoid, with thickness of the ramus. In the normal occlusion group, all four masticatory muscles showed positive correlation with intergonial width and ramus thickness. Positive correlation was also observed in all muscles (except lateral pterygoid) with mandibular length. Masseter and lateral pterygoid positively correlated with height of the ramus. In the mandibular prognathism group, all masticatory muscles, except lateral pterygoid, showed positive correlation with intergonial width. The masseter muscle showed negative correlation with ANB. Conclusion: The results suggest a positive correlation of the thickness of masticatory muscles with both horizontal and vertical dimensions of the mandible. However, thickness of the masseter was found to decrease in patients with increasing severity of mandibular prognathism.

This study was undertaken to compare the activity of masticatory muscle between normal occlusion and anterior openbite. 33 subjects without the experience of orthodontic treatment, missing teeth and the symptom of T. M. disorders were selected for this study : 25 subjects were normal occlusion and 8 subjects were anterior openbite. The ten items were measured from the cephalometric headplates, and EMG recordings of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle were taken at rest position and during maximum clenching at centric occlusion. All data were analyzed and processed with the computer statistical method. The following results were obtained : 1. At rest position, the muscle activities of both temporal and masseter muscle were higher in anterior openbite than in normal occlusion. 2. During maximum clenching, the muscle activities of both temporal and masseter muscle were prominently lower in anterior openbite than in normal occlusion. 3. At rest position, the temporal muscle of anterior openbite showed the highest muscle activity, but showed the lowest muscle activity during maximum clenching. 4. Anterior openbite showed closer interrelationship between facial morphology and the muscle activity, and the muscle activity was more influenced by the form of mandible than that of maxilla.

Purpose: The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in mature animals have implicated to play a major role in the progression of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. This study aimed at optimizing the protocol in culturing primary VSMCs (pVSMCs) from rat thoracic aorta and investigating the effect of cellular zinc (Zn) deficiency on cell proliferation of the isolated pVSMCs. Methods: The thoracic aorta from 7-month-old Sprague Dawley rats was isolated, minced and digested by the enzymatic process of collagenase I and elastase, and then inoculated with the culture Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) at 37℃ in an incubator. The primary cell culture morphology was observed using phase-contrast microscopy and cellular Zn was depleted using Chelex-100 resin (extracellular zinc depletion only) or 3 µM N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (TPEN) (extracellular and intracellular zinc depletion). Western blot analysis was used for the detection of SM22α and calponin as smooth muscle cell marker proteins and von Willebrand factor as endothelial cell marker protein to detect the culture purity. Cell proliferation by Zn depletion (1 day) was measured by MTT assay. Results: A primary culture protocol for pVSMCs from rat thoracic aorta was developed and optimized. Isolated cultures exhibited hill and valley morphology as the major characteristics of pVSMCs and expressed the smooth muscle cell protein markers, SM22α and calponin, while the endothelial marker von Willebrand factor was hardly detected. Zn deprivation for 1 day culture decreased rat primary vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and this pattern was more prominent under severe Zn depletion (3 µM TPEN), while less prominent under mild Zn depletion (Chelexing). Conclusion: Our results suggest that cellular Zn deprivation decreased pVSMC proliferation and this may be involved in phenotypic modulation of pVSMC in the aorta.

일반적으로 골의 형태와 구조는 부착 근육의 활성과 밀접한 관련이 있다고 알려져 있으며,특히 악안면 형태와 저작근 기능과의 관계는 많은 임상 및 동물 실험을 통해 연구되어 왔다. 초음파검사는 임상적 적용이 용이하고 비용이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 환자에 대한 유해성이 적어 의학분야의 여러 영역에서 널리 이용되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 교근의 두께와 악안면 골격 형태와의 상관성을 평가하는 것으로, 강릉대학교 치과대학 남학생 35명과 여학생 15명을 대상으로 하였다. 교근의 두께 측정에는 7.5MHz의 고해상도 직선 탐촉자에 의한 초음파진단장치가 사용되었고, 악안면 골격 형태의 결정은 측방 두부계측방사선사진 분석을 통해 이루어졌다. 이상의 계측치로부터 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. 1 남자에서 교근의 평균 두께는 안정 상태에서는 13.8${\pm}$1.71mm, 최대 교합 상태에서 14.8${\pm}$1.77mm였으며 여자에서는 안정 상태에서 11.6${\pm}$1.58mm, 최대 교합 상태에서 12.4${\pm}$1.47mm로 나타났다. 2. 교근의 두께는 남녀모두 안정 상태보다 최대 교합 상태에서 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 3. 교근의 두께는 안정 상태와 최대 교합 상태 모두에서 남자가 여자보다 유의하게 두꺼웠다(P<0.05). 4. 교근의 두께는 남자에서 안정 상태와 최대 교합 상태 모두 하악평면각과는 음의 상관 관계가 있고 하악지 고경, 전두개저 길이와는 양의 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다(P<0.05). 5. 여자에서는 교근 두께와 유의한 상관 관계가 있는 두부계측방사선사진 분석 항목을 찾을 수 없었다(P<0.05). 이로써초음파검사는 악골 근육의 기능을 평가하는 전통적인 방법에 대해 추가적인 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.골 상실 증가에 따른 압하시 pure intrusion을 위한 후방견인력 변화는 다음과 같다. 1) 2 전치군과 4 전치군의 후방 견인력은 6 전치군의 후방 견인력에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 2) 치조골이 상실됨에 따라 각 치아군 후방견인력은 증가됨을 보였다. 4. 상악 전치부 치아군과 치조골 높이에 따른 저항중심의 수평적, 수직적 위치간 상관관계는 다음과 같다. 1) 2 전치군일 때, 치조골 상실에 따른 저항중심의 수직적 위치변화에 대한 수평적 위치 변화가 가장 크게 나타났다. 치아 수가 증가할수록 치조골 상실에 따른 저항중심의 수직적 위치 변화에 대한 수평적 위치변화는 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 2) 치조골 상실량이 커짐에 따라서는, 치아 수에 관계 저항중심의 수직적 위치변화에 대해 수평적 위치변화가 커졌다.라 일관성 있게 감소하였고, 제거속도는 Cu가 다른 원소에 비해 빨랐다. 제거속도는 FW 3개 수조 중 FW5&6에서 세 원소 모두 가장 느렸고, SW 3개 수조 중에서는 SW1&2에서 가장 빨랐다. SW와 FW간 제거속도 차이는 세 원소 모두 명확치 않았다 Cr은 FW에서 전반적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만 SW에서는 실험 초기에 감소하다 24시간 이후에는 증가 후 일정한 양상을 보였다. Pb은 FW에서 전반적으로 감소했지만 SW에서는 초기에 급격히 증가 후 다시 급격히 감소하는 양상을 보였다 Pb 또한 Cu, Cd, As와 마찬가지로 SW1&2에서 제거속도가 가장 빠르게 나타났다. FW 상층수 중 Hg는 시간에 따라 급격히 감소했고, 제거속도는 Fw5&6에서 가장 느렸다. 이러한 결과에 근거할 때 벼가 자라고 있고 이분해성 유기물이 풍부한 FW1&2, FW3&4 토양과 상층수에서는 유기물의 분해 활동이 활발하였지만, 벼가 경작되지 않는 FW5&6과 SW 에서는 유기물이 상대적으로 결핍되어 유기물의 분해활동이 적었을 것으로 판단된다.
