To understand restoration and conservation projects conducted in Korea for endangered freshwater fishes and amphibians/reptiles, information about Request for Protocols-related studies on restoration, breeding, and release were collected. Trends of studies were visualized via word clouds and VOSviewer program using a text mining technique. Analysis of restoration projects for endangered freshwater fishes elucidated that most research studies conducted to date were focused on genetics and release through captive breeding that could be classified into captive breeding and habitat environments. As for research projects related to amphibians/reptiles, monitoring projects had the highest number, followed by genetic, translocation, and monitoring studies. In addition, restoration projects for amphibians/reptiles included a large number of post-capture translocation projects. Thus, many projects were confirmed by public institutions rather than by the Ministry of Environment. Network analysis revealed that it was largely classified into capture, translocation, and Kaloula borealis. Based on these results, limitations, achievements, and challenges associated with projects conducted thus far are highlighted. Research directions for future restoration and conservation of endangered freshwater fishes and amphibians/reptiles in South Korea are also suggested.

Purpose: The present study describes 3 patients with chronic periodontitis and consequent vertical resorption of the alveolar ridge who were treated using implant-based restoration with guided bone regeneration (GBR). Methods: After extraction of a periodontally compromised tooth, vertical bone augmentation using a K-incision was performed at the healed, low-level alveolar ridge. Results: The partial-split K-incision enabled soft tissue elongation without any change in buccal vestibular depth, and provided sufficient keratinized gingival tissue during GBR. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, the present case series demonstrated that the novel K-incision technique was effective for GBR and allowed normal implant-based restoration and maintenance of a healthy periodontal condition. However, further long-term follow-up and a large-scale randomized clinical investigation should be performed to evaluate the feasibility of this technique.

Background Autologous fat graft has become a useful technique for correction of acquired contour deformity in reconstructed breasts. However, there remains controversial regarding the efficacy and safety of the practice for reconstructive breast surgery. Methods A retrospective review was performed on 102 patients who had secondary fat grafting after breast reconstruction. Fat harvest, refinement and injection were done by Coleman's technique. All patients were followed up postoperatively within 1 month and after 6 months including physical examination and ultrasonography. In 38 patients, the reabsorption rate was calculated by serial changes of thickness between skin and pectoral fascia in the ultrasonic finding. Locoregional recurrence rate was compared with control group of 449 patients who had breast reconstruction without fat graft in the same time period. Results Average 49.3 mL fat was injected into each breast. The most common location of fat graft was upper pole, followed by axilla, lower and medial breasts. During 28.7 months of average follow-up period, 2.9% of total patients had symptoms of palpable mass on fat graft side and ultrasonography identified fat necrosis and cyst formation in 17.6% of the patients. Calculated fat reabsorption rate was 32.9%. Locoregional recurrence was occurred in 1 patient (0.9%) and the rate was not different significantly with control group (2%). Conclusions Although further studies are required to provide surgeons with definitive guidelines for the implementation of fat grafting, we propose autologous fat graft is an efficient and safe technique for secondary breast reconstruction.

The first function of occlusion is mastication. Therefore the functional restoration of occlusal surface is very important. The restoration of occlusal surface is three method as wax bite technique, F.G.P. technique, cone technique. Many dental technician is using compound method. I have knew common point on each teeth during I have waxing up wax pattern. So I studied on the design waxup technique for maxillary molar occlusion. The results of the study were as follows ; 1. The dam wax up method can restore axial contour of teeth very easy and make short working time of wax pattern. 2. The height of dam must be same with cusp of adjacent teeth. 3. Automatically the contour of tooth is appeared if the contour of dam is relationship with cuspid line of adjacent teeth. 4. The height of contour of buccal, lingual surface is formed natural curve to add fluid wax by gravitation. 5. The development groove of Maxillary premolar is appeared V form. 6. The development groove of Maxillary molar is appeared W form. 7. The embrasure is formed to carve around contact point area as round convex. It affects to axial form of tooth. 8. I was knew that the lingual groove and stuart's groove of molar runs parallel with oblique ridge. 9. The buccal groove of molar is formed parallel with direction of teeth arrangement.

비록 기성 금속관 수복이 유구치 수복 시 가장 효과적이고 내구성 있는 방법으로 인지되어 왔지만, 그것은 치과의사들에게 있어서 복합한 시술이 가지는 침습적 특징과 행동 조절 문제와 같은 명확한 단점을 가지고 있다. 전통적인 기성 금속관 수복 방법에 대한 대안으로 1988년 Hall technique이 소개되었는데, 이것은 국소마취, 우식제거, 치아삭제 없이 지대치위에 시멘트가 채워진 금속관을 합착하는 것으로 특징지어진다. 몇몇 보고들에 따르면, 그 비외상적인 특성은 전통적인 수복보다 어린이에게, 특히 저연령 어린이에게 더 적은 불편감과 스트레스를 준다. 또한 Hall technique은 치과의사, 어린이, 그리고 부모에게 효과적이고 받아들일 만 하다고 보고되어 왔다. 이 증례에서, 4세 5개월, 4세 10개월, 6세 4개월의 어린이 3명의 제1유구치를 Hall technique을 이용하여 기성 금속관 수복을 시행하였다. 3~6개월간의 정기검진 후 현재까지 치수, 치아, 또는 연조직에 명확한 합병증 없이 임상적으로 성공적인 결과를 보여주고 있다. 그러나, Hall technique이 모든 어린이, 우식 유구치, 또는 치과의사에게 적합하지는 않다는 것을 유념하고, 적응증의 엄격한 선택과 지속적인 정기 검진이 요구된다. 결론적으로, Hall technique은 효능에 대한 잠재적인 의구심과 일부 명확한 제한점에도 불구하고 특히 저연령 어린이나 장애 어린이의 우식 유구치 수복 방법에서 효과적이고 현실적인 최소침습적 대안이 될 수 있다.

In this paper we propose an adaptive fast image restoration filter, which is suitable for reducing the blocking artifacts in the compressed image in real-time. The proposed restoration filter is based on the observation that quantization operation in a series of coding process is a nonlinear and many-to-one mapping operator. And then we propose an approximated version of constrained optimization technique as a restoration process for removing the nonlinear and space varying degradation operator. We also propose a novel block classification method for adaptively choosing the direction of a highpass filter, which serves as a constraint in the optimization process. The proposed classification method adopts the bias-corrected maximized likelihood, which is used to determine the number of regions in the image for the unsupervised segmentation. The proposed restoration filter can be realized either in the discrete Fourier transform domain or in the spatial domain in the form of a truncated finite impulse response (FIR) filter structure for real-time processing. In order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed restoration filter experimental results will be shown.

In heavy industrial fields such as power plant and chemical plant, it is often necessary to restore damaged part of large machinery and structure which is installed in the hazard working place. In this paper, to estimate stress distribution which occurs during damage and restoration of cylindrical beam structure, the finite element technique has been used. A finite element model was verified by experiment for non deformed cylindrical beam structure. The displacements and elastic recovery have an excellent agreement between experiment and finite element analysis. The variations of stress distribution on deformation and restoration procedure for surfaces have been examined. The maximum von Mises stress appears in the surface for deformation and restoration procedure. In deformation procedure, the maximum stress occurs in the vicinity of support body. In restoration procedure, the maximum stress occurs in the vicinity of the fixing body. The fixing body allows avoiding stress concentration in adjacent support structure boundary.

발치 후 고정성 지르코니아 보철물을 제작하는 경우 통상적으로 임시레진 보철물을 수작업으로 제작하고 보철단계에서 인상채득하여 최종 보철물을 제작한다. 이러한 전통적인 방식은 임시보철물과 최종 보철물 사이의 연계가 부족하고 결과의 심미적 기능적 예측성이 낮을 수 있다. 현재 CAD/CAM 방식의 보철물 제작과 관련 디지털 기술이 발전하여 진료에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 본 증례에서 발치 후 고정성 단일구조 지르코니아 보철물을 계획하는 경우 CAD/CAM 방식 임시보철물, 발치와 치유 후의 구내스캔, 컴퓨터 영상중첩술을 이용하여 최적의 가공치 적합도를 가지며 치료의 결과 예측도가 향상된 디지털 방식을 소개하고자 한다.

Outage areas can be transferred to adjacent feeders to restore power supply in case of the fault on the distribution system. Feeders in the small island or mountain area may not have backup feeders due to the low density of load. In this weakly meshed open loop system, BESS can be used as a backup feeder to improve reliability of power supply. This paper proposes a new network reconfiguration method for BESS based service restoration. Fuzzy decision making technique is adopted to deal with fuzziness of service restoration planning rules. Case studies using KEPCO real distribution system have been performed to verify feasibility of the proposed method.
