The development of the superior cervical ganglion was studied by electron microscopic method in human fetuses ranging from 40 mm to 260 mm of crown-rump length (10 to 30 weeks of gestational age). At 40 mm fetus, the superior cervical ganglion was composed of clusters of undifferentiated cell, primitive neuroblast, primitive supporting cell, and unmyelinated fibers. At 70mm fetus, the neuroblasts and their processes were ensheated by the bodies or processes of satellite cells. The cytoplasm of the neuroblast contained rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi complex, Nissl bodies and dense-cored vesicles. As the neuroblasts grew and differentiated dense-cored vesicles moved away from perikaryal cytoplasm into developing processes. Synaptic contacts between the cholinergic axon and dendrites of postganglionic neuron and a few axosomatic synapses were first observed at 70 mm fetus. At 90 mm fetus the superior cervical ganglion consisted of neuroblasts, satellite cells, granule-containing cells, and unmyelinated nerve fibers. The ganglion cells increased somewhat in numbers and size by 150 mm fetus. Further differentiation resulted in the formation of young ganglion cells, whose cytoplasm was densely filled with cell organelles. During next prenatal stage up to 260 mm fetus, the cytoplasm of the ganglion cells contained except for large pigment granules, all intracytoplasmic structures which were also found in mature superior cervical ganglion. A great number of synaptic contact zones between the cholinergic preganglionic axon and the dendrites of the postganglionic neuron were observed and a few axosomatic synapses were also observed. Two morphological types of the granule-containing cells in the superior cervical ganglion were first identified at 90 mm fetus. Type I granule-containing cell occurred in solitary, whereas type II tended to appeared in clusters near the blood capillaries. Synaptic contacts were first found on the solitary granule-containing cell at 150 mm fetus. Synaptic contacts between the soma of type I granule-containing cells and preganglionic axon termials were observed. In addition, synaptic junctions between the processes of the granule- containing cells and dendrites of postganglionic neuron were also observed from 150 mm fetus onward. In conclusion, superior cervical ganglion cells and granule-containing cells arise from a common undifferentiated cell precursor of neural crest . The granule-containg cells exhibit a local modulatory feedback system in the superior cervical ganglion and nay serve as interneurons between the preganglionic and postganglionic cells.

Glenoid labrum acts as one of static stabilizer of the glenohumeral joint. It deepens the glenoid socket and may also serve as a chock, acting as a wedge in preventing glenohumeral translation. Two types of variations in labral anatomy were noted by Detrisac and Johnson. Type A has a superior labrum that is detached centrally but well attached peripherally. The type B labrum is well attached centrally and peripherally at all sites. A meniscoid-type labrum is thought to be normal unless there are splits or fragmentation of the overlying labral tissue. Meniscoid type labrum is different from SLAP II lesion in that it has a firm anchoring on the superior labrum. We observed four cases that had a meniscoid variant superior labrum, which covered the superior glenoid unusually larger than normal in the arthroscopic treatment of shoulder pathology including instability and rotator cuff diseases. We did arthroscopic reshaping and debridement of meniscoid variant superior labrum combined with pathologic change of the glenohumeral joint. Further study would be required for understanding the mechanism of the development of meniscoid variant labrum and its clinical significance.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate distribution and maximal value of mechanical stresses on the reconstruction plate, bridging mandibular symphysis defect, and to optimize the most appropriate locations of the plate to distribute the stress causing the fracture of the plate. Materials and methods: Four types of reconstruction were constructed by different number and location of the reconstruction plates on the 3 D finite element model (FEM) of a human edentulous mandible; Type I: one plate on the inferior border of the anterior mandible, Type II: one plate on the middle of the anterior mandible, Type III: one plate on the superior border of the anterior mandible, and Type IV: two plates on the inferior and superior border of the anterior mandible. Results: The results showed that the maximal stress of type I (234.29 Mpa) was lower than that of type II (260.91 Mpa) and type III (247.37 Mpa), but higher than that of type IV (186.64 Mpa). We could also observe that the stresses are tending to focus on the inner side and inferior part of the plate which connected proximal segment from the vertical load. Conclusions: On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that using a plate on the inferior border of mandible or two plates on the inferior and superior border of mandible are more favorable to distribute mechanical stresses, which could reduce the fracture of the plate.

Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is a product of interest for many biopharmaceutical companies and research laboratories, because of increase in the number of gene therapy protocols that use nonviral vectors. This work was undertaken to study the effect of antibiotic and dissolved oxygen concentration (DOC) on the production of a ColE 1-type plasmid (pVAX1-LacZ) hosted in Escherichia coli $DH5\alpha$ and cultured in a batch fermentor with 0.751 of Terrific Broth. A decrease in the DOC from $60\%\;to\;5\%$ was shown to increase the specific pDNA concentration approximately 1.5-fold, due to the downregulation of growth. Additionally, this increase in the pDNA concentration led to a 2.2-fold increase in the purity of cell lysates obtained after cell lysis. However, the use of higher DOC led to 2.8-fold higher volumetric productivity as a consequence of a faster growth rate, reducing the fermentation time from 24 to 8 h. Interestingly, the specific pDNA concentration, and pDNA productivity and purity were always higher $(10-15\%)$ in the absence of antibiotic. Overall, the data indicate that nonselective conditions can be used without compromising yield, productivity, and purity of pDNA.

Objective : SLAP is rupture of biceps brachii muscle tendon and it's origin, posterior side of superior labral to anterior glenoid fossa. Snapping and Pain, instability are its typical symptoms. SLAP is physical damage so surgeons use arthroscopy. In point of surgeons view, a conservative medicine is not effective for lesion of labrum. So In this article, we report a result of conservative treatment for the amatuer baseball player diagnosis with type 2 superior labral anterior posterior lesion. Methods : In this case, patient played amatuer baseball for 2 years, had diagnosis with type 2 Superior labral anterior posterior lesion by MRI after right shoulder Injury. OS recommened arthroscopy surgery. But he receive conservative Korean medicin treatment in Korean medicine hospital, including Atx, BV, herbal acupunture and rehabilitation excersise. Results : After 6 months, in the end of continuous conservative treatment and rehabilitation excersise, patient can play baseball normally, and felt a little pain. But In physical examination, he still has a some abnormal signs. Conclusion : A Conservative treatment for an amatuer baseball player diagnosis with SLAP type 2 was effective in restore of fuctional activities, but usefulness of this treatment needs more study.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate results of superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) repairs and debridement of type II SLAP lesions combined with Bankart lesions. Methods: Between 2010 and 2014, total 58 patients with anterior shoulder instability due to a Bankart lesion combined with a type II SLAP lesion were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: group C consisted of 30 patients, each with a communicated Bankart and type II SLAP lesion and group NC consisted of 28 patients, each with a non-communicated Bankart and type II SLAP lesion. Bankart repairs were performed for all patients. SLAP lesions were repaired in group C and debrided in group NC. Clinical results were analysed to compare groups C and NC by using the visual analogue scale pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Constant scores, Rowe score for instability and range of motion assessments. Results: The clinical scores were improved in both groups at final follow-up. Also, there were no differences between two groups. No significant difference was found in terms of the range of motion measured at the last follow-up. The number of suture anchors used was significantly higher in group C than in group NC (5.6 vs. 3.8; p=0.021). Conclusions: In this study, it is considered that Bankart repair and SLAP debridement could be a treatment option in patients with a non-communicated type II SLAP lesion combined with a Bankart lesion (study design: IV, therapeutic study, case series).
