The purpose of this study was to compare the soft tissue movements in facial profile predicted by a computer package with those that had actually accured following a sagittal split ramal osteotomy. The reliability of predicting the results of orthodontic surgical treatment was analysed. The study was based on the serial records of 30 consecutive patients who had been treated by means of a sagittal split ramal osteotomy. The serial lateral cephalometric radiographs used for the study were taken at the following stages: immediate preoperative : immediate postoperative : 6 months postoperative. A superimposition T1, T2-3 was generated to allow visual comparision. The results can be considered in relation to four important parts of the facial profile :the nose, upper lip, lower lip, and chin. The nose & Upper lip:The amount of movement of the upper lipwas not badly predicted for the average case. The lower lip: There was a significant trend over the whole sample for vertical positionof the lower lip to be less well predicted. The chin: The soft tissue movements of the chin were well predicted.

Genioplasy with osteotomy is a flexible and useful procedure. However, osteotomy can cause different types of morbidity. Chin augmentation with porous polyethylene ($Medpor^{(R)}$) has become popular in the recent years. Porous polyethylene ($Medpor^{(R)}$) is an excellent biomaterial for reconstructing facial deformities. $Medpor^{(R)}$ has a porous architecture, which prevents capsule formation and decreases the degree of foreign-body reaction. In addition, it can be easily cut with scissors and molded, and it also maintains its shape. We report here on a satisfactory case of chin augmentation with using porous polyethylene ($Medpor^{(R)}$).

The author measured the vertical dimension and the distances from Trichion to Nasion of 825 Korean adults (414 of male, 411 of female) above 21 years of age by Willis gauge. The following results were obtained. 1) The distances from subnasale to the bottom of chin were 71.4mm in male and 68.7mm in female, and those from Trichion to Nasion were 70.4mm in male and 68.0mm in female. The former were longer than the latter, and the distances in male were longer than those in female. 2) The differences between the distances from Subnasale to the bottom of chin were 1.0mm in male and 0.7mm in female. The frequencies of percentages, in which differences between the distances mentioned above were 0±1mm, were 43.0% in male, 42.6% in female, and 42.8% in total. 3) With the matter of age and sex differences, the distances from Subnasale to the bottom of chin and those from Trichion to Nasion were increasing to 31-40 age group by age, but those had a tendency of decreasing in the late age in both sexes.

The IC packaging industry heavily relies on shop floor information, necessitating the development of a model to flexibly define shop floor information and timely handle manufacturing data. This study presents a novel data model of product manufacturing flow to define shop floor information to effectively respond to accelerated developments in IC package industry. The proposed data model consists of four modules: operation template setup, general process setup, enhanced bill of manufacture (EBOMfr) setup, and work-order process setup. The data model can flexibly define the required shop floor information and decision rules for shop floor product manufacturing flow, allowing one to easily adopt changes of the product and on the shop floor. However, to handle floor dynamics of the IC packaging industry, this work also proposes a WIP (i.e. work-in-process) system for monitoring and controlling the product manufacturing flow on the shop floor. The WIP system integrates the data model with a WIP execution module. Furthermore, an illustrative example, the MIRL WIP System, developed by Mechanical Industrial Research Laboratories of Industrial Technology Research Institute, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed model.

In Asiacrypt 2003, Al-Riyami and Paterson proposed the notion of certificateless cryptography, a technique to remove key escrow from traditional identity-based cryptography as well as circumvent the certificate management problem of traditional public key cryptography. Subsequently much research has been done in the realm of certificateless encryption and signature schemes, but little to no work has been done for the identification primitive until 2013 when Chin et al. rigorously defined certificateless identification and proposed a concrete scheme. However Chin et al.'s scheme was proven in the random oracle model and Canetti et al. has shown that certain schemes provable secure in the random oracle model can be insecure when random oracles are replaced with actual hash functions. Therefore while having a proof in the random oracle model is better than having no proof at all, a scheme to be proven in the standard model would provide stronger security guarantees. In this paper, we propose the first certificateless identification scheme that is both efficient and show our proof of security in the standard model, that is without having to assume random oracles exist.

This study shows that the self-satisfaction individually is rising and social life is attracted effective and successful in image making field by structuring the facial image improvement program through experimental study in order to improve unbalance of women's face. Experiment is conducted by electing 3 samples for 12 weeks and analyzing the measurement and visual analysis, infrared thermography, and evaluation of experts in order to check the facial unbalance. Subject 1 had the effect at approximately in 4 weeks with the severely distorted chin line and mouth appendage. The facial outline became softer to turn entire image to be softer and more feminine. Subject 2 had the severe distortion of location and size of eyes and nose. But the skin was getting better at first, followed by eyes getting clearer with the location changed in left and right. Subject 3 had the twisted nose and lower chin, but after two weeks, the eye area and skin were better and the width of left and right chin was similarly changed. On the basis of the above research result, the program to effectively improve the image was structured and presented with the resolution of facial unbalance. Program is consist of the training of breathing method, face washing method, facial muscle exercise.

PURPOSE: Despite the widespread occurrence in the general population, few studies have directly evaluated the effects of shingles on non-specific neck pain (NSNP). This study investigated whether sensory training or therapeutic stretching exercises are more effective in increasing neck mobility and reducing neck pain in chronic NSNP patients. METHODS: Eighty-one subjects aged between 20 and 32 years with chronic neck pain (> six months), were allocated randomly to three groups: sensorimotor training group (STG), therapeutic stretching group (TSG), and home exercise group (HEG). All participants received a half-hour training session, three times weekly for six weeks. The outcomes were evaluated using the neck disability index for measuring neck pain, and a universal goniometer to measure the cervical passive range of motion before and after the six-week intervention. RESULTS: The post-test neck disability index scores in the STG (t = 4.86) and TSG (t = 3.24) were decreased significantly (p < .05). The passive range of motion changes in all cervical movements in the STG was increased significantly (p < .05) after intervention compared to those in the other two groups. CONCLUSION: Sensorimotor training using chin tuck exercises may improve neck pain and mobility in subjects with chronic NSNP.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), which was initially believed to be a subtype of mesothelioma, has been reported to occur outside the pleura. In the head and neck region, it primarily manifests in the oral or nasal cavity, with rare occurrences in the facial region. A 40-year-old woman visited our hospital with a mass on her chin. Prior to surgery, involuntary movement was observed in the ipsilateral corner of the mouth upon palpation of the mass. Special care was taken during the surgical procedure to avoid damaging the facial nerve. The mass was excised, and histological examination and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of an SFT. Here, we present the first reported case of an SFT diagnosed in a jaw mass in Korea. The objective of this study was to highlight the importance of the diagnostic accuracy of SFTs in lower jaw masses.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in soft tissue chin thickness and to investigate correlations between hard and soft tissues measurements after orthodontic treatment conducted by premolars extraction and incisor retraction. The sample consisted of 35 female adults with Angle classification class I or class II division 1 malocclusion. Using lateral cephalometric radiographs taken before and after treatment, hard and soft tissue structures were measured and reproducible six landmark on soft chin tissue were used to locate the various points of soft tissue contour of the chin. The res에ts were as follows : 1. There were signigicant correlations between pretreatment B-B', Pm-Pm' and pretreatment vortical skeletal measurements such as $MP{\perp}HP,\;MP{\perp}PP$, ALFH and between a-a', b-b', Me-Me' and measurements of sym-physeal morphology such as SL, SW, PL. 2. There were significant decreases at B-B', Pm-Pm' and significant increases at a-a', b-b' between pre-and posttreatment mea surements. 3. There were significant correlations among soft tissues changes and hard tissue changes except for changes at B-B' and the range of correlation coefficient was about 0.3-0.4. 4. There were significant differences at ${\Delta}UI-VP,\;LI{\perp}, and B-B' measurements between subgroups divided by posttreatment Pog-Pog' changes. 5. There were significant differences at ${\Delta}overbite,\;NPog{\perp}HP,\;and\;Me-Me'$ measurements between subgroups divided by posttreatment Me-Me' changes.

This study proposes measures and methods to reduce healthcare associated infections by comparing and analyzing the bacterial contamination level before and after putting on personal protective equipment (PPE) on the test equipment and the contact infected patients getting chest PA projections. Among the 50 inpatients who were diagnosed with C. difficile, MRSA, and VRE, 28 patients who were instructed to undergo chest PA projection and follow-up were chosen, The 3 parts that come in contact with the detector, chin, chest, and hands, were designated for all, and the bacterial contamination level before and after disinfection and before and after putting PPE was determined. Statistical analysis was performed using Medcalc version 14, and quantitative analysis was performed using paired student t-test, with statistical significance being noted at p<0.05. Results for the comparison of the mean values before and after disinfection of the detector, chin (3.000), chest (2.000), and hands (3.430), showed that the number of bacteria after disinfection was lower than it was before disinfection. Analyzing for each part before and after disinfection, there were statistically significant differences for the chin, chest, and hands (p<0.01). Results for the comparison of the mean values before and after putting on PPE, chin (2.202), chest (2.140), and hands (4.213), showed that the number of bacteria after putting on PPE was lower than it was before putting on PPE. Analyzing for each part before and after putting on PPE, there were statistically significant differences for the chin, chest, and hands (p<0.03). As a result, it was confirmed that the number of bacteria after putting on PPE was lower than it was before putting it on. In the future, expanding the research scope for contact infected patients will establish standards for quarantine guidelines depending on the way it spreads, and contribute to the prevention of healthcare associated infections.
