Purpose I investigated how beliefs in punishment have influence on child abuse. Also, I investigated how socio-demographic variables of parents' have influences on child abuse by parents. Sampling was conveniently and total 160 parents replied to the study. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation using SPSSWIN. The results were as follows. Mild child abuse: 'Throwing the object at me(21.1%)', 'Clutching, and pushing (21.0%)', 'Slapping on the cheek (19.1 %), Severe child abuse: 'Kicking, pounding and biting(4.1%)', 'Rod, stick, belt, broom beating using a various objects such as(51.7%)', 'Beating all over the body(6.8%)'. Very severe child abuse: 'Burning with cigarette (0%)', 'Threatening me with a knife, a hammer, a naxe, a gimlet the objects such as(0.7%)', 'Injuring me with the objects such as (0%)', 'Hospitalized by belting(0%)'. Correlations of major variables were as follows. Physical child abuse by elementary student's parents has significantly positive correlation with beliefs in punishment(r= .244 p= .003) and has significantly negative correlation with parent's age(r=-.273, p=.001). But physical child abuse has not significant correlations with family income, education. Conclusion: Beliefs in punishment of parents have influences on child abuse. To prevent child abuse, effective parenting program development is required.

There is an increasing appreciation of the vital role that biomechanics play in the performance of oral implant. The aim of this article is to provide some basic principles that will allow a clinician to formulate a biomechanically valid treatment plan. However, at this point in the history of oral implantology, the clinician should realize that we do not know enough to provide absolute biomechanical rules that will guarantee success of all implants in all situations. To examine the biomechanical questions, one must begin with an analysis of the distribution of biting forcess to implants. Related topics, such as stress transfer to surrounding tissues and interrelationships between bone biology and mechanical loading are major subjects, deserving a separate discussion. Once rigid fixation, angulation, crestal bone level, contour, and gingival health are achieved, stress beyond physiologic limits is the primary cause of initial bone loss around implants. The restoring dentist has specific responsibilities to reduce overload to the bone-implant interface. These include proper diagnosis, leading to a treatment plan designed with adequate retention and form, and progressive loading to improve the amount and density of bone and further reduce the risk of stress beyond physiologic limits. The major remaining factor is the development of occlusal concept in harmony with the rest of the stomagnetic system.

The objective of this finite element method study was to analyze the stress distribution induced on a supporting bone by 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm diameter of dental implant fixture(13mm length). 3-dimensional finite element models of simplified gold alloy crown(7mm height) and dental implant structures(gold cylinder screw, gold cylinder, abutment screw, abutment, fixture and supporting bone(cortical bone, cancellous bone) designs were subjected to a simulated biting force of 100 N which was forced over occlusal plane of gold alloy crown vertically. Maximum von Mises stresses(MPa) under vertical loading were 9.693(3.75mm diameter of fixture), 8.885(4.0mm diameter of fixture), 6.301(5.0mm diameter of fixture) and the highest von Mises stresses of all models were concentrated in the surrounding crestal cortical bone. The wide diameter implant was the good choice for minimizing cortical bone-fixture interface stress.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a protozoan disease which is endemic in Iran. It is transmitted by the Phlebotomus sand fly. The eyelid is rarely involved possibly because the movement of the lids impedes the sand fly from biting the skin in this region. Here, we report 6 rare cases of eyelid CL. The patients were diagnosed by skin scraping, culture, and PCR from the lesions. Skin scraping examination showed Leishmania spp. amastigotes in the cytoplasm of macrophages. Culture examination was positive for Leishmania spp. PCR was positive for Leishmania major and Leishmania tropica. The lesions were disguised as basal cell carcinoma, chalazion, hordeolum, and impetigo. The patients were treated with intramuscular meglumine antimoniate (20 mg/kg/day) for at least 3 weeks. They showed a dramatic response, and the lesions almost completely disappeared. We emphasized the importance of clinical and diagnostic features of lesions, characterized the phylogenetic relationship of isolated parasites, and reviewed the literature on ocular leishmaniasis.

The objective of this finite element method study was to analyze the stress distribution induced in a maxillary central incisor Ni-Cr base metal coping ceramic crowns with various margin design. Margin designs of crown in this experiment were knife-edge metal margin on chamfer finishing line of tooth preparation(M1), butt metal margin on shoulder finishing line(M2), reinforced butt metal margin on shoulder finishing line(M3), beveled metal margin on bevelde shoulder finishing line(M4). Two- dimensional finite element models of crown designs were subjected to a simulated biting force of 100N which was forced over porcelain near the lingual incisal edge. Base on plane stress analysis, the maxium von Miss stresses(Mpa) in porcelain venner was 0.432, in metal coping was 0.579, in dentin abutment was 0.324 for M1 model, and M2 model revealed in porcelain was 0.556, in metal coping was 0.511, in dentin was 0.339, and M3 model revealed in porcelain was 0.556, in metal coping was 0.794, in dentin was 0.383 for M4 model. All values of each material in metal-ceramic crown were much below the critical failure values.

A human case of tick bite on the scalp was found at a local hospital on June, 1984. The patient, 63-year old female, was attacked by a tick while working in a farm forest which located in the suburbs of Seoul. The clinical complaint was a (worm) mass on the scalp which she thought as a tumor. On admission the patient complained of facial edema and general malaise. After removal of the mass (tick), small bleeding and discoloration were observed around the biting site. The tick was morphologically examined and identified as Ixodes nipponensis. This is the 4th human case of tick bite reported in the literature of Korea.

Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is an acute-phase protein induced by injury, infection, or other inflammatory stimuli. LCN2 binds small hydrophobic ligands and interacts with cell surface receptor to regulate diverse cellular processes. The role of LCN2 as a chemokine inducer in the central nervous system (CNS) has been previously reported. Based on the previous participation of LCN2 in neuroinflammation, we investigated the role of LCN2 in formalin-induced nociception and pathological pain. Formalin-induced nociceptive behaviors (licking/biting) and spinal microglial activation were significantly reduced in the second or late phase of the formalin test in Lcn2 knockout mice. Likewise, antibody-mediated neutralization of spinal LCN2 attenuated the mechanical hypersensitivity induced by peripheral nerve injury in mice. Taken together, our results suggest that LCN2 can be therapeutically targeted, presumably for both prevention and reversal of acute inflammatory pain as well as pathological pain.

Tooth Positioner는 band를 제거한 후 가능한 빨리 장착시켜야 susceptible하며 무엇보다도 환자의 생리학적 jaw movement를 설정해서 제작해야 하고 적어도 hingeaxis relation은 찾아서 제작해야한다. Positioner의 장착시간은 하루에 $3\~4$시간의 active biting exercise와 수안시간동안 사용하게 한다. 처음 장착시에 가장 tight하고 이 tightness 는 치아가 요망되는 위치로 근접함에 따라서 점차 감소되고 이 tightness의 감소가 작용효과의 가장 좋은 지침이 되며 자는 하루 하루 그 변화를 느껴야 한다. Positioner가 느슨하게 적합되고 좋은 교합관계를 보이면 장착을 수안시간동안으로 제한시키거나 혹은 깨어 있을 동안 한 두시간 장착하게 한아. 대개 $3\~4$주 후에 predetermined pattern과 유사하게 되며, 일반적으로 장착 후 $8\~10$주 후에 더 장착할 것인가를 결정하고 필요성이 없다면 conventional retainer로 바꾸어 준다. Tooth Positioner는 기능적인 구호흡, thumb sucking, snoring을 해소시켜 줄 수 있으며 jaw relationship이나 overbite문제를 해결할 수 있다. 그리고 chair time을 감소시켜 줄 수 있으며 tissue tone을 자극해서 치아위치를 증진시키는데 끊임없이 작용한다. 그러나 제작에 많은 시간이 걸리고 치아를 배열하는 술자의 능력에 따라 치료효과가 많이 좌우되며 너무 bulky하므로 이물감이 커서 유용하게 장착할 수 있는 시간이 제한적이고 natural muscle balance에 대해 간헐적인 교정력을 가함으로써 치아를 loosening 시킬 수 있다. 이 장치물은 다른 removable appliance와 같이 환자의 협조가 무엇보다 중요하므로 환자에게 장착동기를 유발시켜 주는 것이 좋으며 True Blocked Nasal Airway가 있는 환자에게는 금기증이 된다.
