The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of formocresol and glutaraldehyde to tooth germs and periapical tissues after perforation of interradicular portion of pulpal floor and application of physiological saline solution in control groups, formocresol and glutaraldehyde in experimental groups. The following results were obtained 1. In control groups, normal healing processes were seen, and, on the sixteenth day, the epithelization of injured areas was completed. Inflammatory reactions were limited to the injured surface, and the underlying alveolar bone were normal and successive tooth germs were normal. 2. In both formocresol groups and glutaraldehyde groups, tissue reactions were identical. Inflammatory reactions were slightly compared with control groups, but the surface epithelizations were delayed compared with control group. 3. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, necrosis was seen in superficial tissue of bone marrow, and, at 24th day, center area of bone marrow on the successive tooth germs were losed and replaced with connective tissue, and superficial soft tissue of the injured area was connected with soft tissue on the successive tooth germ. In remaining alveolar bone, osteoclastic reaction was remarkable. 4. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, there is no injury to the successive tooth germs. 5. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, periodontal membrane was normal, but the partial resorption of cementum and dentin near the injured area were seen.

요추가 제기능을 다하려면 추체와 디스크 및 후관절을 구성하고 있는 주위 연부조직이 정상적 위치에 있어야한다. 또한 체중을 지탱하는 역학적 관계로 볼 때 척주(vertebral column)의 운동범위가 가장 큰 부위가 요천추관절이므로 항상 구조적 변화가 잘 일어난다. 이러한 사실로 볼 때 요통 발생은 요추부의 해부학적 구조 중 후관절, 추체, 추간판의 역학적 관계를 고찰을 통해서 본 결과 어느 특정한 한 부위에서 발생한 것 보다는 추체, 추간판, 후관절의 변화에 따른 주위 연부조직의 변화도 함께 동반 손상이 된다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 요통이란 용어는 포괄적인 개념에서 다양한 원인과 증상을 동반하는 매우 광범위한 질병 중 대표적이라 할 수 있다. 요통의 해부학적 고찰을 통해서 미비하나마, 요통은 디스크의 문제라는 일반적인 개념에서 탈피해서 여러 가지 복잡 다양한 원인과 증상을 알아보았다. 요통의 치료는 그 원인에 따라 치료가 이루어져야 하기 때문에 좀더 정확한 원인을 규명하는 것이 필수적이라 생각된다.

This is a report of 3 cases of tumors, which primarily originated from ribs and the sternum. In the first case of multiple myeloma, the patient was 67 year old male with a tumor located on the middle sternum invading the manubrium and the body of the sternum manifesting symptoms after a contusion of the anterior sternum. The sternum was entirely resected and was replaced by tantalum plate to reconstruct the defective chest wall in order to prevent the paradoxical movement during respiration. In the second case of osteogenic sarcoma, the patient was 43 year old male with a tumor located on the costochondral junction of the left 5th rib for 6 months. The left 5th rib was resected between the middle part and sternochondral junction of it including tumor and adjacent soft tissues. In the third case of chondrosarcoma, the patient was 36 year old male with a tumor located near the posterior angles of the right 7th and 8th ribs manifesting back pain on the area where the tumor was located. Resection of right lower lobe was performed since direct invasion of tumor was seen in the superior segment of right lower lobe. This was followed by the resection of both 7th and 8th ribs at the area between the costovertebral junction and the portion 10 em apart from the tumor including the tumor and intercostal soft tissues. Diagnoses of 3 cases of tumors described above were confirmed by histopathologic examination postoperatively. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

Microorganisms associated with seed-rhizome rot of gingers preserved in three underground storage caves were identified with respect to rot types. Rot patterns were grouped into 4 different types : yellow soft rot, brown rot, localized ring rot, and water-soaked rot. Water-soaked rot was highest in frequency with 40% and ring rot the least with 14%. Causal pathogens differed with rot type, yellow soft rot by Erwinia carotovora and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, brown rot by Fusarium solani and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, localized ring rot by F. solani, and water-soaked rot by Pythium spinosum and P. ultimum. Pythium myriotylum, the causal pathogen of ginger rhizome rot which occurs severely in fields was rarely detected from storage seed-rhizomes suggesting its minor involvement with storage rot. Pathogenic Pythium isolates were frequently obtained from both rhizome surface and inner tissues of rotten rhizomes. Detection frequency of Pythium isolates in inner tissues decreased as increasing distance from rhizome surface. In wound-inoculation tests, above pathogens caused a varying degree of rot on healthy rhizomes at 15$^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ with increasing severity at higher temperatures.

In this present work, the amounts of toxic elements were determined in the soft tissues of mollusks (Mytilus galloprovincialis and Rapana venosa) collected from Igneada shores of the Black Sea where suggested as Marine Protection Area (MPA). M. galloprovincialis accumulated the highest amounts of Cd in winter, while the highest amounts of Cd and Hg were detected in R. venosa in winter and autumn. The concentrations of toxic elements found in the soft tissues of mollusks varied for Cd: 0.07-0.14, Hg: 0.03-0.44 and Pb: 0.09-0.21 mg/g dry wt. The estimated levels of all non-essential metals in the present work were lower than the limits permitted by European Community Regulation (EU) and the Turkish Food Codex (TFC). The estimated weekly intakes (EWI) and daily intakes (EDI) of all the through consumption of these seafood by Turkish people in the Igneada coasts of the Black Sea were quite below the permissible tolerable weekly/daily intakes for 70 kg person (PTWI / PTDI) set by FAO/WHO. As results, it can be concluded that no hazard effects on people health would be raised at present from the consumption of these mollusks' species.

Purpose: This study investigated whether the placement of ribose cross-linked collagen (RCLC) membranes without primary soft tissue closure predictably resulted in sufficient alveolar ridge preservation in contained and non-contained extraction sockets. Methods: Membranes were positioned across extraction sockets, undermining full-thickness flaps, and the gingival margins were fixed by double-interrupted sutures without crossed horizontal mattress sutures for 1 week. In non-contained sockets, a bone substitute was used to support the membrane within the bony envelope. Radiographs and clinical images obtained 4 months later were analyzed by ImageJ software using non-parametric tests. Results: In 18 patients, 20 extraction sockets healed uneventfully and all sites received standard-diameter implants (4.1, 4.8, or 5.0 mm) without additional bone augmentation. Soft tissues and the muco-gingival border were well maintained. A retrospective analysis of X-rays and clinical photographs showed non-significant shrinkage in the vertical and horizontal dimensions (P=0.575 and P=0.444, respectively). The new bone contained vital bone cells embedded in mineralized tissues. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this pilot study, open healing of RCLC membranes may result in sufficient bone volume for implant placement without additional bone augmentation in contained and non-contained extraction sockets.

An intraoral spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) system has been developed, using a custom-built hand-held scanner and spectrometer. The hand-held OCT probe, based on a microelectromechanical systems scanner and a self-built miniaturized drive circuit, had a field of view sufficient for dental diagnosis. The spectrometer using a fabricated f-theta lens provided the image depth required for dental diagnosis. The axial and transverse resolutions of the OCT system in air were 7.5 ㎛ and 12 ㎛ respectively. The hand-held probe could scan an area of 10 × 10 mm², and the spectrometer could image along a depth of 2.5 mm. To verify the utility of the developed OCT system, OCT images of tooth hard and soft tissues were acquired, and a user-interface program for diagnosis was developed. Early caries and microcracks that were difficult to diagnose with existing methods could be found, and the state of restoration could be observed. Measuring the depth of the gingival sulcus, distinguishing subgingival calculus, and detecting an implant under the gingiva suggested the possibility of the SD-OCT system as a diagnostic for dental soft tissues. Through the presented OCT images, the capability of the developed SD-OCT system for dental diagnosis was demonstrated.

A 7-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier dog was present to an animal clinic and a large soft mass was found in the spleen by radiological examination, and total splenorectomy was performed. Grossly, a large protruded splenic mass was soft to moderately firm and multilobulated. On the cut surface, the mass was off-white to tan, dark red, and rust colored with many cavitation and had gelatinous areas. Histologically, the tumor cells were characterized by coexistence of the primitive mesenchymal tissues and mature or immature cartilage tissues. Primitive mesenchymal areas were composed of round/oval or spindle shaped immature cells with high mitosis. The tumor cells of the cartilage areas were located in basophilic cartilaginous matrix. Intercellular matrix in the cartilaginous areas was stained blue with Masson's trichrome and deep blue with alcian blue, respectively. Immunohistochemically, the cartilaginous tumor cells demonstrated positive reactions for vimentin and S-100, and surrounding mesenchymal tumor cells are immunopositive for vimentin. This case was diagnosed as splenic extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of a Yorkshire Terrier dog, a toy breed.

This study is concerned with the temperature dependence characteristics of ultrasound parameters in biological tissues, which are basic on the noninvasive deep body temperature estimation. Used parameters are ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and sound velocity In order to accomplishment our purpose, several signal processing methods were used. Attenua4iorl coefficient was estimated by spectral difference method and sound velocity was estimated by P-P method. And we also examined these methods through a series of IN VITRO experi mentis that used tissue-mimicking phantom samples and biological tissue samples. In order to imitate the biological soft tissue two kinds of phantom samples are used, one is agar phantom sample which is composed of agar, graphite, N-propyl alcohol and distilled water, and the other is fat phantom sample which is composed of pure animal fat. And the ultrasound transmission mode and reflection mode experiments are performed on the pig's spleen, kidney and fat. As a result, it is found that the temperature characteristics are uniform in case of phan- tom samples but not in biological tissues because of complicate wave propagation within them. Consequently, the possibility of temperature measurement using ultrasound on biological tissue is confirmed and its results may contribute to the establishment of reference values of internal temperature measurement of biological tissues.

Most dentists are very interested in laser therapy on the intraoral soft tissue lesions because they want to accomplish the analgesic and aseptic surgery with little or no bleeding. In order to determine the difference of pain threshold according to different gingival tissues with or without inflammation, 25 patients with inflammatory periodontal disease and 10 volunteers with good general and oral health were selected as the inflamed group and the normal group, respectively. Interdental papilla, marginal gingiva, attached gingiva, and alveolar mucosa were irradiated by the contact delivery($300{\mu]m$ fiber optic, for 5 seconds) of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(EN.EL.EN06O, Italy). And the laser power was gradually increased from 0.5W by the increment of 0.1W. The highest laser power was recorded as the first painful power when the painful gesture was recognized at first. The difference of the first painful power of laser according to different gingival tissues with or without inflammation was statistically analyzed by paired t-test in MICROSTAT program. Following results were obtained: 1. In the comparison related with the inflammation, the first painful power was significantly lower in the inflamed group than in the normal group, regardless of interdental papilla and marginal gingiva(p<0.05). 2. In the comparison related with the tissue structure, the first painful. power was significantly lower in alveolar mucosa than in attached gingiva(p<0.05). The results suggest that, for the painless therapy by a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser irradiation, the laser surgery over 2.0W of power should be necessarily accomplished under the local anethesia, and the local anesthesia should be considered according to the degree of inflammation, the tissue structure, and the purpose of laser therapy.
