This study was to compare the patients wearing comfortable distally extending cantilever bridges (DECBs) with those having discomfortable ones, in the aspect of the periodontal condition & prosthodontic status. The subjects in the present study were 164 patients appointed to Seoul National University Dental Hospital. One group was consisted of 101 patients wearing comfortable DECBs and the other group were made of 64 patients who had felt discomfort. On clinical parameters, there were no significant difference between 2 groups in plaque index, tooth mobility & probing depth, but gingival index was higher in group wearing discomfortable DECBs. In prosthodontic status, the ratio of pontic oversize was higher in the group of discomfortable DECBs, but there were no significant difference in the view of crown overcontour, overhanging margin & interproximal space closure between 2groups. This study failed to clarify causal factors of discomfortable DECBs.

It is unclear whether forearm and crural muscle fibers extend distally across the wrist and ankle joints, respectively. We hypothesized, in late-term fetuses, an over-production of muscle bellies extending over the joint. Muscle fibers in histological sections from unilateral wrists and ankles of 16 late-term fetuses (30-40 weeks) were examined and compared with 15 adult cadavers. Muscle fibers of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) in fetuses, especially muscle bellies to the third and fourth fingers, were found to extend far distally beyond the radiocarpal joint. The extensor digitorum and extensor pollicis longus on the extensor side of the wrist were found to carry distally-extending muscle fibers, but these fibers did not extend beyond the distal end of the radius. In the ankle, most muscle bundles in the flexor hallucis longus (FHL), fibularis brevis (FB) and extensor digitorum longus extended distally beyond the talocrural joint, with most FB muscle fibers reaching the level of the talocalcaneal joint. In adult cadavers, muscle fibers of the FDP and FHL did not reach the levels of the radiocarpal and talocrural joints, respectively, whereas the FB muscle belly always reached the talocalcaneal joint. Similarly, some of the FDS reached the level of the radiocarpal joint. Generally, infants' movements at the wrist and ankle could result in friction injury to over-extended muscle. However, the calcaneal and FDP tendons might protect the FB and FDS tendons, respectively, from friction stress.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the periodontal conditions of distally extending cantilever bridges(CB) and removable patial dentures(RPD). 78 patients treated with removable partial dentures were divided into 2 groups; bilateral free-ending (type 1) and unilateral free-ending(type 2). 43 patients treated with distally extending cantilever bridges were divided into 4 groups according to position of missing molars and number of including abutment tooth (or teeth) (type 1-4). Prosthodontic status of the abutment teeth were assessed; overcontoured crown, overhanged margin, embrasure closure, and others. Their Periodonted status were assessed with Plaque Index Gingial Index(GI) Sulcus bleedy Index (SBI), Tooth mobility(TM) & Posher depth(PPD). 35.9% of RPD group and 38.1 of CB grouphad disconfort on mastication with prosthetics. 16.7% of RPD group and 6.1% of CB group showed on opposing sites. Overhanged margins were 58.3% for RPD group and 86.6% for GB group. 45.5% of RPD group and 72% of CB group had embrasure closure on the abutment teeth. 30.5% of GB group had oversized pontic. Gb group showed much higher clinical parameters than RPD groups, but statistically not significant. Type 2 of RPD group showed lower GI and SBI, but statistically not significant. Type 3 of CB group showed the highest GI and SBI and type 2 showed the highest tooth mobility, but there is no differences between the same type of groups. In conclusion, only minor differences in periodontal conditions were recorded in RPD and CB group.

This study was perfomed to investigate the prosthodontic and periodontal status of the abutment teeth in distally extending bridges(DEBs) (78 cases) and removable partial dentures(RPDs) (43 cases) for 122 patients (55 males and 57 females) visiting department of Periodontology, Seoul National University Hospital. The average wearing periods were 67.8 months for DEBs and 66.4 months for RPDs. 38.4% of the patients in DEBs and 35.9% in RPDs complainted of chewing discomfort and 22.6% and 24.4% were not chewing on the prosthodontically - treated sides, respectively. In DEBs, when the restoration for 2nd molar supported by 1st molar & 2nd premolar was grouped to type 1, 1st molar supported by 1st & 2nd premolars was type 2, and 1st & 2nd molars supported by 1st & 2nd premolars was type 3, there was a significant differences only in the tooth mobility score among clinical parameters (type 2>type 1>type 3). In RPDs, when bilateral free-end case was grouped to type 1, and unilateral case was type 2, there was a significant difference in the Gingival index (type 1>type 2). In DEBs, 62.8% of restoration were overcontoured, 72% had interproximal space closures, 30.5% overextended pontics and 86.6% overhanging margins. In RPDs, 24.4% of the restorations were overcontoured, 45.5% had interproxinal space closures and 58.3% overhanging margins. From these results of this study, periodontal problems caused by prosthodontic defects were considered to be contributing factors in chewing discomfort.

Two cirolanid isopods, Eurydice longiantennata Nunomura and Ikehara, 1985 and Metacirolana japonica (Hansen, 1890), are newly reported based on the materials collected from the subtidal zone around Jeju Island. Eurydice longiantennata can be distinguishable from its congeners by the following features: body length is 5 mm; antennule is not extending beyond the cephalon; flagellum of the antenna is consisted of 31 flagellar articles; and pleotelson has eleven teeth and twelve setae distally. Metacirolana japonica is distinguished from its related species by the following characteristics: body is not ornament; pleonite 1 is entirely visible dorsally in male; pleotelson is gradually tapering distally; and uropodal rami have serrate margins.

We report a case of subglottic stenosis by blunt neck trauma. Preoperative CT showed a stenosis extending distally from just below the vocal cords for 4cm. Concomittent bilateral vocal cords paralysis and quadriplegia were present. At operation the lesion was severely adhesed and the lumen was nearly obstructed. The recurrent laryngeal nerves were embedded in fibrous tissue and were not identified at ease. The stenosed segment was resected and direct end-to-end anastomosis with preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerves was performed. Six months latar he discharged with intermediate position of vocal cord paralysis.

Early recognition and surgical treatment of Hirschsprung's disease prevents serious mortality and morbidity from enterocolitis and obstruction. Usually this disease is characterized by a single aganglionic segment of the colon extending distally to the anal margin. In surgical treatment, the surgeon performs a frozen section biopsy to confirm whether there are ganglion cells. If there are intervening ganglionic sites in aganglionic bowel, there may be confusion in diagnosis and treatment. The authors experienced one case of total colonic aganglionosis with skip area. A transverse loop colostomy was performed on a 7 day-old male baby with colon perforation due to Hirschsprung's disease. But intestinal obstruction persisted and required two more operations to find the true nature of the disease. There were aganglionic segments from the anal margin to the terminal ileum 3.7cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. The entire transverse colon and appendix were normally ganglionated.
