To date, biomedical application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology remains one of the most important research topics and business targets. A wide range of approaches have been attempted using various 3D printing systems with general materials and specific biomaterials. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the biomedical applications using 3D printing techniques, such as surgical tool, medical device, prosthesis, and tissue engineering scaffold. Compared to the other applications of 3D printed products, the scaffold fabrication should be performed with careful selection of bio-functional materials. In particular, we describe how the biomaterials can be processed into 3D printed scaffold and applied to tissue engineering area.

3.2YSZ melted by the 'skull melting' method has good physical properties and does not undergo low-temperature degradation. Due to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, skull-melted 3.2YSZ has been developed as a dental implant material. In this study, a porous, resin-bonded diamond wheel was created and its grinding characteristics were compared with those of traditional nonporous wheels using skull-melted 3.2YSZ. The experimental results indicate that the porous, resin-bonded diamond wheel requires less grinding force and power. In addition, the porous, resin-bonded diamond wheel requires a greater degree of roughness.

The p-dioxanone can be used to make a variety of commercially useful products particularly where biodegradability is desired, such as fibers, sutures, molded articles, containers, medical devices and surgical clips, film and compostable trash bags. The mole fraction solubility of p-dioxanone in various solvents such as acetone, ethylacetate, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol were measured over the temperature range from 263.05 K to 288.45 K. The solubility of p-dioxanone increases with increasing polarity of the solvents.

Medical catheter tubes are disposable devices that are inserted into the body cavities such as the pleura, trachea, esophagus, stomach, urinary bladder, ureter, or blood vessels for surgical procedures. Each hole of the inner tube is called a lumen, which is used as a passage for drug injections, waste discharge, polypus removal, blood transport, or injection of a camera or sensor. The catheter tube is manufactured by extrusion. The flow in the inner extrusion die affects the thickness and diameter of the tube. In the current study computer simulation of flow in an extrusion die for catheter tubing was performed. Velocity, pressure, shear rate, and shear stress were investigated and the die design was examined.

Recently, researches to develop phased array ultrasonic examination techniques are proceeded to diagnose dental caries and the status of surgical operation of dental implant. Sound field analysis of phased array ultrasonic transducers were carried out in order to characterizing the ultrasonic phased array beams. The sound field of ultrasonic radiation was calculated for the sample called "gypsum-improved stone" with the similar characteristics of dental materials. Industrial phased array ultrasonic devices were utilized for the insptriion of the artificial flaws machined in the gypsum-improved stone. Dental implants were made at the pig jaw bone and defect images were confirmed for the dental implants.

The accurate measurement for a long bone have taken an important part in orthopedics surgical diseases when the length of extremities is different each other. However, it is true that various kinds of methods to search for the accurate measurement on used in medical centers. In this study, we measured the real length of long bone for CT Scanogram and F.F.D by 100cm and 200cm in the angle of inclination $0^{\circ},\;3^{\circ}$ and $7^{\circ}$. This method will be useful to diagnose and treat patients more accurately.

This paper aims to examine baes metal alloy in all its aspects - the roles of elements, the content of every element according to uses, characters, laboratory technique methods and the kind of artificial base metal alloy registered in A.D.A. Specification. The results are as follows; 1. Base metal alloy is used widely bacaues it is rather cheap, but it should be handled appropriately in operating because its quality is bad. 2. Classifying base metal alloy, it is classified into Co-Cr alloy, Ni-Cr alloy, and Ni-Cr-Co alloy according to element, it is classified into partial denture alloy, surgical alloy and crown & bridge alloy according to use. 3. Among elements of base metal alloy, Bellium lowers the melting point of the alloy and increases the strength, but the amount should be limited when it is used because it destroys the organization of a living body. 4. The investments for base metal alloy are ethyl silcate bonded investment and phosphate bonded investment which endure well at high burn out temperature. 5. A.D.A specification No.14 in Kore contains Niranium, Nobilium, regalloy, Ticonium and Vitallium.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common elderly disease, and because of prolonged incubation period and many side effects of medication or surgical interventions, the use of dietary phytochemicals is considered as an effective measure for prevention of BPH. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of inhibition effect for BPH by flavonoids such as baicalein and kaempferol. BPH cells were collected through biopsy from patients with PSA of 4 or higher, followed by primary culture. In vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate mitochondrial respiration, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and expression of inflammatory markers, genes, and anti-oxidants. In conclusion, baicalein and kaempferol have been demonstrated to inhibit BPH through lowering ROS, thereby reducing inflammation triggers, and reduced inflammation. This study is expected to be helpful in the development of flavonoids that have a clinical effect on suppressing BPH.
