In the modern society with high science and technological level, many people have been tried to mitigate natural disaster. The disaster was so huge that we made special service organization which deal with 'The Natural Disaster Endangered Districts'. But the analysis of the organization's works was inadequate. In order to analyze their regeneration project, this study selected analysis area and did a spot survey. We did validity, reliability tests and statistical data analysis of this survey. We also did reliability analysis of this policy using Structural Equation Model. According to the result, there is a reasonable suitability in 'The Natural Disaster Repair work Policy'. And it also improved spiritual, substantial environment of the surrounding people. The people formed positive awareness about Government Repairing Policy. This 'Natural Disaster Repair work Policy' is essential to improve and develop local community. Therefore it will affect democratic development of society.

Purpose : Anterior region is crucial area for esthetic implant restoration. However, the alveolar process undergoes atrophy after removal of teeth and creates unfavorable situation for implant installation. The knowledge of the thickness of alveolar bone is required to estimate and expect the bone resorption after extraction. The aim of this study is to measure facial, palatal and faciopalatal bone thickness on maxillary anterior teeth. Methods : Facial, palatal, and faciopalatal bone thickness were measured on the computed tomography (CT) images from 57 patients, using an image analyzer program (Ondemand$3D^{(R)}$, Cybermed, Seoul, Korea). Results : The thickness of facial bone in incisors, lateral incisors and canines were less than 1 mm. The thickness of facial bone increased from anterior to posterior region and the thickness of palatal bone increased from posterior to anterior region. Conclusion : The measurement can be used for planning implant surgery before extraction. CT has are clinically useful in the evaluation of thickness of alveolar bone.

Purpose: Synthetic bone products such as biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) are mixtures of hydroxyapatite (HA) and ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$- TCP). In periodontal therapies and implant treatments, BCP provides to be a good bone reconstructive material since it has a similar chemical composition to biological bone apatites. The purpose of this study was to compare bone regeneration capacity of two commercially available BCP. Methods: Calvarial defects were prepared in sixteen 9-20 months old New Zealand White male rabbits. BCP with HA and ${\beta}$- TCP (70:30) and BCP with Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (Si-HA) and ${\beta}$-TCP (60:40) particles were filled in each defect. Control defects were filled with only blood clots. Animals were sacrificed at 4 and 8 week postoperatively. Histomorphometric analysis was performed. Results: BCP with HAand ${\beta}$- TCP 8 weeks group and BCP with Si-HA and ${\beta}$- TCP 4 and 8 weeks groups showed statistically significant in crease (P <0.05) in augmented area than control group. Newly formed bone area after 4 and 8 weeks was similar among all the groups. Residual materials were slightly more evident in BCP with HA and ${\beta}$- TCP 8 weeks group. Conclusions: Based on histological results, BCP with HA and ${\beta}$- TCP and BCP with Si-HA and ${\beta}$- TCP appears to demonstrate acceptable space maintaining capacity and elicit significant new bone formation when compared to natural bone healing in 4 and 8 week periods.

The purpose of this study is to present policy implications for future urban regeneration projects by deriving factors that affect residents' life satisfaction by region. To this end, a survey was conducted and multiple regression analysis was conducted using the Changsin/Sungin-dong, Haebangchon, and Garibong-dong regions where the general type of neighborhood regeneration project of Seoul was conducted. As a result of the analysis, it was found that life satisfaction increased when autonomy among the local governance factors in Changsin/Sungin-dong and autonomy and network in Garibong-dong increased. When examining the factors of regional regeneration capacity for each region, in terms of local identity, landscape characteristics in all three regions had a significant effect on the life satisfaction of residents. In the case of local communities, it was found that the satisfaction with life of residents increased when individual competence in Changsin/Sungin-dong and participation capacity and relationship competence in Garibong-dong increased. In terms of local assets, natural and social assets in all three regions had a significant effect on the life satisfaction of residents. Therefore, it is judged that the relationship between the influence of residents' life satisfaction in the general type of neighborhood regeneration project for neighborhood regeneration will be a meaningful data in promoting the urban regeneration project.

Cardiac regeneration with adult stem-cell (ASC) therapy is a promising field to address advanced cardiovascular diseases. In addition, extracellular vesicles (EVs) from ASCs have been implicated in acting as paracrine factors to improve cardiac functions in ASC therapy. In our work, we isolated human cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells (h-CMSCs) by means of three-dimensional organ culture (3D culture) during ex vivo expansion of cardiac tissue, to compare the functional efficacy with human bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (h-BM-MSCs), one of the actively studied ASCs. We characterized the h-CMSCs as CD90^low, c-kit^negative, CD105^positive phenotype and these cells express NANOG, SOX2, and GATA4. To identify the more effective type of EVs for angiogenesis among the different sources of ASCs, we isolated EVs which were derived from CMSCs with either normoxic or hypoxic condition and BM-MSCs. Our in vitro tube-formation results demonstrated that the angiogenic effects of EVs from hypoxia-treated CMSCs (CMSC-Hpx EVs) were greater than the well-known effects of EVs from BM-MSCs (BM-MSC EVs), and these were even comparable to human vascular endothelial growth factor (hVEGF), a potent angiogenic factor. Therefore, we present here that CD90^lowc-kit^negativeCD105^positive CMSCs under hypoxic conditions secrete functionally superior EVs for in vitro angiogenesis. Our findings will allow more insights on understanding myocardial repair.

In theprevious Hizikia cultivation, holdfasts were threw into the sea after harvesting in May; the young thalli(5$\~$10cm in length) of Hizikia are annually collected from natural bed by seed collectors for the cultivation, resulting in a ruined natural populations. Therfore, the reuse method of holdfasts by regeneration capability of Hizikia fusiformis, was investigated. The effects of emergence on the growth of regenerated thalli from holdfasts over 6 months of outdoor culture from May to November, 1995. The vegetative growth from the holdfasts was good under the emergence of 3hrs/day on the air than 0, 1 and 2hr/day. The regeneration of holdfasts was determined by measuring total length, number of stipe and weight. The growth was facilitated under the exposure condition of 1$\~$3 hrs/day on the air. Outdoor cultivation for the comparsion of to artifical natural seeds were conducted from December 1995 to May 1996. There was no significant differences(0.05< P) between the two kinds of seeds. Therefore, artificial seed maybe used as a replacement for the natural seed in Hizikia cultivation. From the results, an useful method was established to obtain young fronds for the cultivation using the reuse method of holdfast, to conserve the natural population of Hizikia.

This study is performed to consider the fitness of natural regenerating method and tending methods used now by surveying the stand structure and regenerating states of the 9 natural regenerated Pinus densiflora stands in Kangwon province. As a special consideration, it deals with the tending methods on the seedlings of Pinus densiflora and broad-leaved tree(Quercus mongolica) under competition. By the consideration on the number of trees, growing capacity and stand structures of Pinus densiflora stands, it reveals that Pinus densiflora is in the inferior in numbers at the competition to the broad-leaved species, and it could not occupy the stands as the dominant species if the stands were not tended. It is estimated that natural regeneration of Pinus densiflora stands by the clearcutting or seed tree system could not achieved due to the abundance of ground vegetation. Short-term shelter-wood system or strip stand method may be proposed as a successful method of natural regeneration. As the visible tending method for seedlings, the method which apply the mixed forest in group of Pinus densflora and Quercus mongolica different by the growing capacity and distribution characteristics is better thaw the one which tend the Pinus densiflora only.

The objective of this study was to determine the important factors affecting the early natural regeneration of Pinus densiflora S. et Z. Seed germination, survival and height growth of the pine seedlings were examined at four experimental plots of P. densiflora forests including forest roadside. Plots I and III were thinned in 1992, plot II was treated with hexazinone in 1993 after seed tree method was applied in 1982 and 1989. Seedlings emerged after thinning and the rate of their emergence depended on forest floor conditions. Seedling survival was related with light conditions, herbaceous vegetation, and degrees of rainfall. More seedlings emerged in forest hauling roads than within the forest because soil scarification due to logging provided better conditions for seed germination and seedling growth. Seed supply was enough, but germination rate was very low in the forest compared with that in the greenhouse because micro-environments such as organic layer and herbaceous plant acted as limiting factors. Weed control was needed for 4 to 5 years until seedlings grew upto about 50cm in height which was similar to that of herbaceous plants. But 10-40% coverage of herbaceous vegetation was needed to protect small seedlings from heavy rain. Forest works such as thinning and logging, over 40% of light were important factors to help the pine regeneration. However, over 70% coverage of herbaceous vegetation, and heavy rain inhibited rather survival and growth of pine seedlings.
