Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of incisional needle therapy, a type of Korean medicine treatment, on atrophic scars caused by herpes zoster and varicella. Methods : The patients with atrophic scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella were treated with incisional needle therapy and the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Score (SBSES). Results : After treatment, all patients demonstrated improvements in PGA and SBSES. The PGA score improved to 3.73±0.40, with SBSES changing from 1.60±0.60 to 4.80±0.80. Conclusions : We suggest that incisional needle therapy demonstrates effectiveness in treating scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella, indicating its potential as a viable therapeutic option for individuals affected by these conditions.

목적 : 소아기 일차성 방광요관역류는 대부분 요로감염 후에 진단되고, 여아에서 흔하며 역류와 신반흔의 정도가 다양하고 심한 역류에서는 자연 소실율이 낮다. 반면 최근에 태아 수신증으로부터 진단된 신생아기 일차성 방광요관역류는 남아에서 흔하고, 역류와 신반흔의 정도가 심하며 심한 역류에서도 자연 소실율이 높은 점 등 상반된 특징이 보고되어 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 신생아기와 소아기의 이행기인 영아기 일차성 방광요관역류의 임상적 특성과 자연 소실율을 후향적으로 조사하여 비교하고자 하였다. 방법 : 1995년 1월부터 2004년 5월까지 이화여자대학교 의과대학 부속 목동병원에서 요로감염 치료 후에 일차성 방광요관역류로 진단된 영아에서 매년 동위원소 배뇨성 방광요도조영술로 3년간 추적 조사가 가능하였던 96명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상아의 연령은 $4.7{\pm}3.8$개월(남아 $4.2{\pm}3.5$개월, 여아 $5.6{\pm}4.8$개월)로 성별에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 임상적 특성으로 성별, 역류의 정도, 신반흔의 정도 등을 조사하였고, 자연 소실율과 관련된 요인을 분석하였다. 결과 : 영아기 일차성 방광요관역류는 남아가 76명(79.2%), 여아가 20명(20.8%)으로 남아에서 유의하게 많았고(P<0.05) 역류성 요관도 남아가 99단위(77.3%), 여아가 29단위(22.7%)로 남아에서 유의하게 많았다(P<0.05). 역류 등급의 분포는 성별에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 신반흔의 동반율은 남아 31.3%(31/99), 여아 17.2%(5/29)로 성별에 따른 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았으나, 위축신의 동반율은 남아에서 17.2%(17/99)로 여아 3.4%(1/29)에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 역류성 요관의 3년 누적 자연 소실율은 89.1% (114/128)로 매우 높았으며 성별과 역류의 등급에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 단 첫해, 중증 역류성 요관(3-5등급)의 자연 소실율이 남아에서 46.2%로, 여아의 7.1%에 비하여 유의하게 높았고(P<0.05) 정상 신장을 동반한 경우의 자연 소실율이 76.6%로 위축신을 동반한 경우의 20%에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 결론 : 영아기 일차성 방광요관역류는 남아에서 많았고 특히 남아에서 위축신의 동반율이 높았다. 3년 누적 자연 소실율은 매우 높았고 중증 역류와 위축신을 동반한 경우에도 높았다. 즉, 영아기 일차성 방광요관역류는 위축신을 동반한 심한 역류에서도 수술요법보다 내과적 치료가 우선적으로 권장된다.

The detection of Bordetella bronchiseptica which is supposed to be an agent of the infectious atrophic rhinitis of swine, is likely to receive more attention in the future as the pork industry comes to realize that eradication of this infection from breeding herds is a practical possibility. Experiments described here were carried out to establish the rapid plate agglutination test for the detection of the infectious atrophic rhinitis of swine in the field using the criteria of antigen preparation, effects on the antigenecity after storing of the antigen and reaction appearing time. Also, the agglutinabilities between the plate and tube method were compared and the degree of pathological lesions were recorded in relation to tube agglutination titers. Obtained results were as follows: 1. No differences were noted in the agglutinabilities on the plate agglutination test between the treatments in antigen preparation-formolized, merthiolate-killed and living organism. 2. The agglutinability of the antigens did not show any significant changes until 10 weeks of storage at 4 C; however, after 10 weeks of storage, non-specific reaction was observed with the HPCD control sera. 3. The results of the plate and tube agglutination tests were not comparable but the effective use of the plate method in Bordetella bronchiseptica eradication programs in pigs especially in the sow is stressed as a screening test.

This report describes the case of an edentulous patient with an atrophic maxilla and severe class III malocclusion. Prosthetic rehabilitation was performed using CAD/CAM techniques for manufacturing an implant-supported overdenture with horizontal insertion. A vestibulo-lingual insertion overdenture is a precision prosthesis with a fixation system affording a good fit between the primary and secondary structure. Both structures exhibit passive horizontal adjustment. This treatment option requires the same number of implants as implant-supported fixed dentures. The horizontal assembly system prevents the prosthesis from loosening or moving in response to axial and non-axial forces. The technique was used to rehabilitate a patient presenting an atrophic upper maxilla, with the insertion of 8 implants. No complications were reported at follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months after fitting of the prosthesis. This system offers solutions to the clinical and laboratory complications associated with hybrid prostheses, concealing emergence of the chimneys and improving implant-prosthesis hygiene.

Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica is a causative agent of swine atrophic rhinitis that promotes colonization of the mucous membrane of the swine nasal cavity by Pasteurella (P.) multocida. Mixed infection with B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida leads to growth inhibition of pigs, resulting in significant economic loss. There are many commercial vaccines for atrophic rhinitis, including B. bronchiseptica as a killed vaccine antigen (Ag). However, the immunogenicity of killed B. bronchiseptica Ag has not yet been elucidated; therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the immunogenicity of killed B. bronchiseptica Ag and the type of immune response it induces. In vitro assays using mouse spleen cells and flow cytometry revealed that B. bronchiseptica Ag induced high proliferation capability of lymphocytes, especially B lymphocytes, and the proliferating cells showed a significant response to interleukin (IL)-2. B. bronchiseptica Ag also enhanced the production of IL-12, a representative cytokine for cell-mediated immunity. In vivo experiments using mice showed that the injection of B. bronchiseptica Ag markedly induced Ag-specific antibody. Taken together, these results indicate that B. bronchiseptica Ag has high immunogenicity by itself.

In dentistry, tissue expanders have been used to obtain sufficient soft tissue for alveolar bone augmentation in the severely atrophic ridge. Herein, we review two cases of soft tissue augmentation using a self-inflating tissue expander in patients in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital for bone graft and implant operations. The results of each patient were presented using pre-operative and post-operative radiographs and clinical exams. The results of our study indicate successful bone graft and implant surgery using a self-inflating tissue expander.

Endosseous implants have restored normal function and dental health to many patients. When implants were introduced as an effective treatment modality, their efficacy was limited by the amount of available bone. Today, various grafting procedures can surgically create bone width and volume. Implants can be placed in more ideal locations for successful prosthetic reconstruction. The use of autogenous bone grafts represents the "gold standard" for bone augmentation procedures. Either intraoral or extraoral sites may be considered for donor sites. Alveolar ridge augmentation using autogenous bone block, can be done during implant placement or staged with implant placement, after bone graft healing. In the staged technique, a better implant positioning and the use of wide diameter implants are possible. Alveolar ridge augmentation using autogenous block graft is a predictable way of treatment, for the atrophic alveolar ridge before implant placement. The cases presented in this article clinically demonstrate the efficacy of using a autogenous block graft in generating effective new bone fill for dental implant placement.
