  • The mesh-based frictional contact model has been developed which does not rely on the spatial derivatives of the tool surface. Only points on the surface are evaluated from the description. which can then be simplified because of the relaxed demands placed on it. The surface tangents, normals, and corresponding derivatives at each finite-element node are evaluated directly from the finite-element mesh, in terms of the connecting nodal positions. The advantages accrue because there is no longer a need for a smooth tool surface to assure reasonable normals and derivatives. Furthermore, it can be shown that the equilibrium equations can only be properly written with a special normal derived from the mesh itself. The validity, accuracy, computation time, and stability of mesh-based contact model were discussed with the numerical examples of rounded flat-top and rough, flat-top rounded punch forming operations. Also, the forming process of a automobile inner panel section was simulated for testing the robustness of new contact model. In the discussion, the superiority of new model was examined, comparing with tool-based contact one.

  • The primary method of diagnosis in craniofacial deformity patient is used by gross inspection. So we studied the frontal photometric measurements for maxillofacial Korean normals 44 male and 48 female ages 19 to 20 years were selected from a group of 92 healthy Kyung Hee university students in Seoul.. The photograph were taken with the subject sitting in head position parallel with interpapillary plane to the floor. During taking pictures, facial anallyser by Obwegeser(Martin Co., Germany) was used for correct measurements. The results of this study was followed. 1. In the linear measurements, all values of males were longer than those of females but middle third height and lower third height, facial width and nasal width of males were longer than those of females in p<0.05 2. The difference between right and left angular and linear measurement was insignificant. 3. In the horizontal facial ratios, interocular distance and nasal width were longer and mouth width were smaller in korean than in american(p<0.05). 4. In the vertical ratios, korean women have shorter facial height of lower third comparing with facial height of middle third than american(p<0.05). 5. In the vertical facial ratios, korean have smaller proportion below the stomion in the lower third department than american. (p<0.05).

  • The present study was performed to investigate the characteristics of breath groups while reading paragraph in normal adults and adult patients with voice disorders. 10 normal females(avr. 20.6 yrs.), 10 young voice disorder females(avr. 33.5 yrs., P1 group), and 10 old voice disorder females(avr. 56.3 yrs., P2 group) read a paragraph of 210 syllables. By using the 'Running Speech' program of the Phonatory Aerodynamic System(PAS), total duration, numbers of breath groups, duration per breath group, and numbers of syllables per breath group were measured, and their correlations with aerodynamic measurement results of reading were analyzed. As a result, in total duration, numbers of breath groups, normals scored highest and P2 group speakers, lowest. Normals showed the longest duration per breath group which was not significant. P2 group speakers showed the highest numbers of syllables per breath group. Correlation analysis showed significantly high correlation scores of total duration and expiratory airflow; numbers of breath groups and inspiratory volume.

  • This study was performed to see the effect of nutritional status on fatty liver. Subjects were 219(male : 174, female : 45) fatty liver patients living in cities, and 10-60yrs old. Nutrient and alcohol intakes, health state and medical history were investigated by individual interview, and blood sample was taken. Results were as follow; Most subjects were obese an overweighing and suffering from hepatitis. Calorie and carbohydrate intakes of male and females patients were lower than mean intakes of normal citizens. Protein and fat intakes of male patients were higher than mean intakes of normal citizens. Proportions of protein and fat to total calorie intake in patients were higher than those of normal citizens. Alcohol intake was markedly higher in patients than normal group, and increased with increasing body weight. Serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, total lipid, total protein and albumin conc.s and Hb and Hct levels were in normal ranges, But serum TG level of patients was higher than normal level. Serum total fatty acid level, $\omega$-3/$\omega$-6 and P/S FA ratios were higher in patients than normals. Serum total EAAs, NEAAs and all AAs levels of patients were higher than normals. It is plausible that high animal food and alcohol intakes, excess body fat and hepatitis were associated with fatty liver.

  • Present study was to evaluate the validity and the clinical utility of the Korean version of Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery for Children(LNNB-C) in various groups including normal, brain damaged attention deficit hyperactivity disordered(ADHD), and psychiatrically disordered. The Korean version of LNNB-C and BGT were administered to clinical groups consisted of 51 patients(19 brain damaged, 16 ADHD. and 16 psychiatric controls), and to normal group composed of 147 children between the age of 8 and It Also KEDI-WISC was administered D clinical groups as a part of comprehensive psychological assessment There were significant differences between the brain damaged and the normals on all scales of LNNB-C, and between the normals and the ADHD on 11 clinical scales and 3 summary scales, which indicate the clinical validity for the scales of the Korean version of LNNB-C. The significant differences between the ADHD and the brain damaged on 3 summary scales were found, suggesting that the summary scales might play an important role id discriminating between two groups. Multiple discriminant analysis showed that the Korean version of LNNB-C significantly discriminates 3 groups - normals, ADHD, and brain damaged. Percentages of correct classification were ranged from 62.5% in the ADHD to 98.6Ta in the normals. For further evaluating the discriminant validity of the LNNB-C, the discriminant power of each items were calculated, and 131 of the 147 items discriminated significantly between the brain damaged and the normals. The scales of LNNB-C significantly correlated with the error scores of BGT and the most of scales of KEDI-WISC. These results put together : strongly support the concurrent and the discriminant validity of the Korean version of LNNB-C in diagnosing brain damage. The limitations of present study and several issues for the luther study were discussed.

  • Background: Evaluation of Human papilloma virus (HPV) and its association with promoter methylation of candidate genes, p53 and Aurora A in esophageal cancer. Materials and Methods: One hundred forty-one esophageal tissue samples from different pathologies were evaluated for HPV infection by PCR, while the promoter methylation status of p53 and Aurora A was assessed by methylation-specific restriction based PCR assay. Statistical analyses were performed with MedCalc and MDR software. Results: Based on endoscopy and histopathology, samples were categorized: cancers (n=56), precancers (n=7), esophagitis (n=19) and normals (n=59). HPV infection was found to be less common in cancers (19.6%), whereas its prevalence was relatively high in precancers (71.4%), esophagitis (57.8%) and normals (45.7%). p53 promoter methylation did not show any significant difference between cancer and normal tissues, whereas Aurora A promoter methylation demonstrated significant association with disease (p=0.00016, OR:5.6452, 95%CI:2.18 to 14.6) when compared to normals. Aurora A methylation and HPV infection was found in a higher percentages of precancer (66.6%), esophagitis (54.5%) and normal (45.2%) when compared to cancers (14.2%). Conclusions: Aurora A promoter methylation is significantly associated with esophageal cancer, but the effect of HPV infection on this epigenetic alteration is not significant. However MDR analysis showed that the hypostatic effect of HPV was nullified when the cases had Aurora methylation and tobacco exposure. Further HPV sub-typing may give an insight into its reduced prevalence in esophageal cancer verses normal tissue. However, with the present data it is difficult to assign any significant role to HPV in the etiopathology of esophageal cancer.

  • The present study was purposed to find out variables of childhood antisocial behavior. The variables consisted of social cognition competence(Peer perception. acquaintance perception, frustration situation perception). academic competence(Visual integration function. written expression function, grammar closure function). The subject in this study were 32 nine year old-fourteen year old antisocial behavior boys and 32 third grade in elementary school-second grade in middle school normal boys and girls. The results of this study were obtained as follows. 1) In peer perception antisocial behavior children perceived peer as more supportive than normals. In acquaintance perception. there was no difference between groups. 2) In frustration situation perception, normal children used intropunitive attack still more than antisocial behavior children and antisocial behavior children perceived frustration situation more sensitive than normals and they were less active in problem solving aspects than normals. 3) In Academic competence, antisocial behavior children have deficits in visual motor integration function, written expression function. grammar closure function.
