The double aortic arch is the commonest anomaly among the vascular rings are relatively rare congenital vascular anomalies. This anomaly is malformation of the aortic arch system may, by compression of the trachea and esophagus, cause respiratory distress and dysphagia. We experienced one case of double aortic arch with right sided descending aorta with predominant right anterior arch treated surgically at Kyung Hee University Medical Center. 1-year-old male patient with acute airway obstruction due to combination of double aortic arch and right descending aorta. The diagnosis was made by simple X-ray & confirmed by barium esophagogram & aortogram. The operative approach was through left thoracotomy & underwent division of the left aortic arch & division of ligamentum arteriosum & suspension of divided proximal end of anterior arch to anterior thoracic wall. The postoperative courses was uneventful and doing well on the 3 years.

The objectives of this research are to verify the structural stability and estimate the resisting performance of Stressed-Arch system during the construction process. Full scale models are taken to obtain the objective shape by the Dynamic Relaxation Method. As a result, it measured more strain than yielding strain at the extreme fiber of top chord member on the crown, but it is shown that members have the sufficiently compressive resisting performance as well as a considerable strain recovery capacity under unloading. Therefore, it is confirmed that Stressed-Arch system apparently have sufficient range of the structural capacity, but it is required that the elasto-plastic behavior of this system must be verified more detailed by numerical analysis and experiments.

Purpose: This study examined the influence of longitudinal arch on the strength and muscle activity of the abductor hallucis in the standing position in subjects with and without navicular drop signs. Methods: A sample of 34 subjects with and without navicular drop signs between 22 and 28 years of age were enrolled in this study. The strength and muscle activity of the abductor hallucis was measured using a tensiometer. The Smart KEMA System and electromyography device was used on the subjects with and without navicular drop signs. Two groups were classified using the navicular drop test to identify the longitudinal arch of the foot. The strength of the abductor hallucis was evaluated in standing, both with and without an external arch support condition. The two-way mixed ANOVA was used. The level of statistical significance was set to ${\alpha}=0.05$. Results: The strength and muscle activity of the abductor hallucis in standing was significantly higher with external arch support than that without the external arch support in the group with navicular drop signs. There was no significant difference in the abductor hallucis strength and muscle activity with and without external arch support in the subjects without navicular drop signs. Conclusions: The strength and muscle activity of the abductor hallucis in standing can be influenced by the external arch support in the group with navicular drop signs. The strength measurement of the abductor hallucis in standing should be separately performed in conditions with and without longitudinal arch of foot.

Objective: To determine and compare the frequency distribution of various arch shapes in ethnic Malays and Malaysian Aborigines in Peninsular Malaysia and to investigate the morphological differences of arch form between these two ethnic groups. Methods: We examined 120 ethnic Malay study models (60 maxillary, 60 mandibular) and 129 Malaysian Aboriginal study models (66 maxillary, 63 mandibular). We marked 18 buccal tips and incisor line angles on each model, and digitized them using 2-dimensional coordinate system. Dental arches were classified as square, ovoid, or tapered by printing the scanned images and superimposing Orthoform arch templates on them. Results: The most common maxillary arch shape in both ethnic groups was ovoid, as was the most common mandibular arch shape among ethnic Malay females. The rarest arch shape was square. Chi-square tests, indicated that only the distribution of the mandibular arch shape was significantly different between groups (p = 0.040). However, when compared using independent t-tests, there was no difference in the mean value of arch width between groups. Arch shape distribution was not different between genders of either ethnic group, except for the mandibular arch of ethnic Malays. Conclusions: Ethnic Malays and Malaysian Aborigines have similar dental arch dimensions and shapes.

A 67-year-old female patient was treated with conventional total arch replacement and insertion of a stented elephant trunk (SET) graft into the descending thoracic aorta for acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection at one time. She had been treated with right coronary artery stent insertion for acute myocardial infarct 4 days earlier, and at that time, she was diagnosed with acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection from the ascending aorta to the suprarenal artery based on trans-esophageal echocardiography and aorta computed tomography. Through a median sternotomy, we inserted the SET graft through the opened aorta to the descending aorta. We also performed anastomosis between the proximal stented graft and the distal aortic arch, and then performed total arch replacement. For acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection, we report total arch replacement with insertion of a SET graft as a combination of conventional surgery and the interventional technique.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the stability of mandibular arch orthodontic treatment outcomes between passive self-ligating and conventional systems during 6 months of retention. Methods: Forty-seven orthodontic patients with mild to moderate crowding malocclusions not requiring extraction were recruited based on inclusion criteria. Patients (mean age $21.58{\pm}2.94years$) were randomized into two groups to receive either passive self-ligating ($Damon^{(R)}$ 3MX, n = 23) or conventional system (Gemini MBT, n = 24) orthodontic treatment. Direct measurements of the final sample comprising 20 study models per group were performed using a digital caliper at the debonding stage, and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after debonding. Paired t-test, independent t-test, and non-parametric test were used for statistical analysis. Results: A significant increase (p < 0.01) in incisor irregularity was observed in both self-ligating and conventional system groups. A significant reduction (p < 0.01) in second interpremolar width was observed in both groups. Mandibular arch length decreased significantly (p = 0.001) in the conventional system group but not in the self-ligating system group. A similar pattern of stability was observed for intercanine width, first interpremolar width, intermolar width, and arch depth throughout the 6-month retention period after debonding. Comparison of incisor irregularity and arch dimension changes between self-ligating system and conventional system groups during the 6 months were non-significant. Conclusions: The stability of treatment outcomes for mild to moderate crowding malocclusions was similar between the self-ligating system and conventional system during the first 6 months of retention.

The deformation and dynamic behavior mechanism of submerged shell-like lattice structures with membranes are in principle of a non-conservative nature as circulatory system under hydrostatic pressure and disturbance forces of various types, existing in a marine environment. This paper deals with a characteristic analysis on quasi-periodic and chaotic behavior of a circular arch under follower forces with small disturbances. The stability region chart of the disturbed equilibrium in an excitation field was calculated numerically. Then, the periodic and chaotic behaviors of a circular arch were investigated by executing the time histories of motion, power spectrum, phase plane portraits and the Poincare section. According to the results of these studies, the state of a dynamic aspect scenario of a circular arch could be shifted from one of quasi-oscillatory motion to one of chaotic motion. Moreover, the correlation dimension of fractal dynamics was calculated corresponding to stochastic behaviors of a circular arch. This research indicates the possibility of making use of the correlation dimension as a stability index.

Failure of a redundant long-span bridge is often described by innumerable failure modes, which make the structural system reliability analysis become a computationally intractable work. In this paper, an innovative procedure is proposed to efficiently identify the dominant failure modes and quantify the structural reliability for a long-span bridge system. The procedure is programmed by ANSYS and MATLAB. Considering the correlation between failure paths, a new branch and bound operation criteria is applied to the traditional stage critical strength branch and bound algorithm. Computational effort can be saved by ignoring the redundant failure paths as early as possible. The reliability of dominant failure mode is computed by FORM, since the limit state function of failure mode can be expressed by the final stage critical strength. PNET method and FORM for system are suggested to be the suitable calculation method for the bridge system reliability. By applying the procedure to a CFST arch bridge, the proposed method is demonstrated suitable to the system reliability analysis for long-span bridge structure.

상부 벽식, 하부 골조로 이루어진 주상복합 건물은 주어진 대지 내에 여러 기능을 수용하기 위한 건물의 구조로서 대도시에서는 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 전이보 시스템은 구조시스템의 수직적 불연속성으로 인하여 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 일반적으로 주상복합건물에 사용중인 춤이 깊은 전이보를 가진 구조시스템을 조사하고 아치 시스템으로 대체하기 위하여 기존의 전이보를 사용하였을 경우 발생하는 아치거동의 형태를 규정하고 이를 아치의 형태로 나타내어 전이보 시스템을 대체하였다. 전이보 시스템을 대체한 보다 효율적인 아치 시스템에 대한 여러 가지 고찰을 통해 아치 시스템의 적용성 여부를 판단하고, 이 시스템과 기존의 전이보 시스템을 중력방향 하중과 횡 방향 하중에 대하여 비교하였다. 전이보 시스템과 아치 시스템을 중력방향 하중과 횡 방향 하중에 대해 비교한 결과, 전이보 시스템이 가지고 있는 구조적인 문제점을 많이 감소시킬 수 있었다. 전이보 시스템을 대체할 아치 시스템은 아치 작용으로 인해 발생하는 전이보의 전단 거동에 대한 불확실성, 전이보 자체의 큰 강성으로 인하여 기둥 부분에 발생하는 추가 모멘트 벽 하단부에 발생하는 전단 응력 집중 현상 및 벽 하부 중앙과 전이보 중앙부의 비효율성 등과 같은 문제점을 감소시킬 수 있는 효율적인 시스템으로 판단된다.
