Cleft lip and/or palate is the congenital orofacial malformation most commonly occurred in humans, The disease is multifactorial and is probably caused by genetic and/or environmental factors, So, there are many problems in research concerning etiology and in treatment of the disease, Even the most practiced and sophisticated methods of surgical repair are necessarily followed by scar contraction and fibrosis, which result in skeletal defects, dental abnormalities, cosmetic disfigurement, and speech impairment, As a result, Fetal surgery can be considered but practiced rarely when the deformity is not fatal to life, And treatment of cleft palate is performed in the form of medicine projection into uterus in animal experiments, Many studies show that growth factor and its receptor emerge from the developing palate; and the epidermal growth factor receptors have a important role in craniofacial development and in palatal fusion, The palatal morphogenesis of the avine is different from the mammal's; it takes the form of physiologic cleft palate, Recently, cleft palate fusion experiment was performed when the avine were in the period of palate formation through the exogenous TGF-β3 addition, and it showed that the exogenous TGF-β3 makes fusion of divided palate through certain process when cleft palate is occurred in palatal formation, In this study, I had the conformation of the fusion of cleft palate through the addition of TGF-β in case of chicken embryo, and observed the effect of TGF-β in EGF receptor distribution, And the following is the results of this study, 1. In case of the TGF-βl and β3 addition group, there was the decrease of EGFR(Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) immunoreactivity in mesenchymal cells beneath the medial edge epithelium and also in epithelial mesenchymal interface which is between medial edge epithelium and nasal septum in 72 hours, 2, The immunoreactivity of the control group resembles that of normal chicken embryo palate in development, 3. In the view through fluorescence confocal microscopy, there was confluence in TGF-β3 addition group, This shows that the confluence induced by exogenous TGF-β3 is related to EGFR expression in palate of chicken embryo, which is a physiologic cleft palate model.

In the last year great interest appears to YBCO thin films preparation on different substrate materials. Preparation of epitaxial film is a very difficult problem. There are many requirements to substrate materials that must be fullfilled. Main problems are lattice mismatch (misfit) and similarity of structure. From paper [1] or follows that difference in interatomic distances and angles of substrate and film is mire important problem than similarity of structure. In this work we present interatomic distances and angle relations between substrate materials belonging to ABCO4 group (where A-Sr or Ca, B-rare earth element, C-Al or Ga) of different orientations and YBCO thin films. There are many materials used as substrates for HTsC thin films. ABCO4 group of compounds is characterized by small dielectric constants (it is necessary for microwave applications of HTsC films), absence of twins and small misfit [2]. There most interesting compounds CaNdAlO4, SrLaAlO4 and SrLaGaO4 were investigated. All these compounds are of pseudo-perovskite structure with space group 14/mmm. This structure is very similar to structure of YBCO. SLG substrate has the lowest misfit (0.3%) and dielectric constant. For preparation of then films of substrates of this group of compound plane of <100> orientation are mainly used. Good quality films of <001> orientations are obtained [3]. In this case not only a-a misfit play role, but c-3b misfit is very important too. Sometimes, for preparation of thin films substrates of <001> and <110> orientations were manufactured [3]. Different misfits for different YBCO faces have been analyzed. It has been found that the mismatching factor for (100) face is very similar to that for (001) face so there is possibility of preparation of thin films on both orientations. SrLaAlO4(SLA) and SrLaGaO4(SLG) crystals of general formula ABCO4 have been grown by the Czochralski method. The quality of SLA and SLG crystals strongly depends on axial gradient of temperature and growth and rotation rates. High quality crystals were obtained at axial gradient of temperature near crystal-melt interface lower than 50℃/cm, growth rate 1-3 mm/h and the rotation rate changing from 10-20pm[4]. Strong anisotropy in morphology of SLA and SLG single crystals grown by the Czochralski method is clearly visible. On the basics of our considerations for ABCO4 type of the tetragonal crystals there can appear {001}, {101}, and {110} faces for ionic type model [5]. Morphology of these crystals depend on ionic-covalent character of bonding and crystal growth parameters. Point defects are observed in crystals and they are reflected in color changes (colorless, yellow, green). Point defects are detected in directions perpendicular to oxide planes and are connected with instability of oxygen position in lattice. To investigate facets formations crystals were doped with Cr3+, Er3+, Pr3+, Ba2+. Chromium greater size ion which is substituted for Al3+ clearly induces faceting. There appear easy {110} faces and SLA crystals crack even then the amount of Cr is below 0.3at.% SLG single crystals are not so sensitive to the content of chromium ions. It was also found that if {110} face appears at the beginning of growth process the crystal changes its color on the plane {110} but it happens only on the shoulder part. The projection of {110} face has a great amount of oxygen positions which can be easy defected. Pure and doped SLA and SLG crystals measured by EPR in the<110> direction show more intensive lines than in other directions which allows to suggest that the amount of oxygen defects on the {110} plane is higher. In order to find the origin of colors and their relation with the crystal stability, a set of SLA and SLG crystals were investigated using optical spectroscopy. The colored samples exhibit an absorption band stretching from the UV absorption edge of the crystal, from about 240 nm to about 550 m. In the case of colorless sample, the absorption spectrum consists of a relatively weak band in the UV region. The spectral position and intensities of absorption bands of SLA are typical for imperfection similar to color centers which may be created in most of oxide crystals by UV and X-radiation. It is pointed out that crystal growth process of polycomponent oxide crystals by Czochralski method depends on the preparation of melt and its stoichiometry, orientation of seed, gradient of temperature at crystal-melt interface, parameters of growth (rotation and pulling rate) and control of red-ox atmosphere during seeding and growth (rotation and pulling rate) and control of red-ox atmosphere during seeding and growth. Growth parameters have an influence on the morphology of crystal-melt interface, type and concentration of defects.

경제성장과 함께 생활습관 변화로 인한 만성질환이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 그 중 심뇌혈관질환은 사망원인의 약 20%를 차지하는 우리나라의 주요 사망원인이다. 심장의 이상을 측정하는 검사는 심전도검사로, 심장의 리듬을 전기적으로 측정하여 평가하는 방법이다. 심전도 검사에서 가장 영향을 미치는 것은 전극의 부착 위치인데, 간호사를 대상으로 연구한 결과에 따르면 모두 정확하게 부착한 것은 2.6%로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 프로젝션 기반의 증강현실 기술을 사용하여 환자 본인의 Chest X-ray 사진을 흉부에 중첩시켜 투영시킴으로써 정확한 전극 부착위치를 쉽게 알 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 기존의 방법으로 측정한 결과와 개발한 시스템으로 측정한 결과를 비교하였더니 2.6cm의 오차를 보였다. 그에 따른 심전도 결과에서도 V1, V2, V3위치에서 눈에 띄는 파형의 차이가 있었다. 본 시스템으로 정확하게 측정된 심전도는 의료진들의 환자관리 및 임상적 의사결정에 크게 도움이 될 것이다.

Objective: To assess the health and economic burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases (cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1/2/3, and genital warts) in Singapore over a period of 25 years beginning in 2008. Methods: Incidence-based modeling was used to estimate the incidence cases and associated economic burden, with the assumption that age-stratified incidence rates will remain the same throughout the period of 25 years. The incidence rates in 2008 were projected based on data obtained from the National Cancer Registry for cervical cancer, and from a combination of published data and hospital registry review for CIN1/2/3 and genital warts. The population growth rate was factored into the projection of incidence cases over time. Direct cost data per cervical cancer and per CIN1/2/3 case were obtained from the financial database of large local hospitals while cost data for genital warts were obtained from the National Skin Center; these costs were multiplied by the number of incidence cases to produce an aggregate estimate of the economic burden over the 25-year period (in 2008 Singapore dollars) using a 3% discount rate. Results: The total number of incidence cases of HPV-disease over 25 years beginning in 2008 was estimated to be 60,183, including 8,078 for cervical cancer, 11,685 for CIN 2/3, 8,849 for CIN1, and 31,572 for genital warts. The estimated total direct cost was 83.2 million Singapore Dollars over 25 years: 57.6 million attributable to cervical cancer, 13.0 million to CIN2/3, 6.83 million to CIN1, and 5.70 million to genital warts. Conclusion: HPV-related diseases are expected to impose significant health and economic burden on the Singapore healthcare resources in the next 25 years.

Osteochondroma is a benign neoplasm, osseous projection surrounded with cartilage, 35.8% of benign osseous tumor, 8.5% of whole osseous tumor and usually arises from the skeletal bone. Osteochondroma is a cartilaginous derivation and relatively uncommon in the craniofacial bone. Osteochondroma of the mandible has slow growth rates which mainly affect women around forty years of age and it can appear through the coronoid process and mandibular condyle, especially in the medial half. Clinical finding associated with osteochondroma of condyle are primarily a palpable, painless temporomandibular area mass with facial asymmetry, malocclusion and midline deviations. Sometimes pain and dysfunction like trismus often accompany the anatomic derangement. Other features include malocclusion with open-bite on the affected side and cross-bite on the contralateral side. In this study, a 45-years old female patient exhibits pain on the left temporo-mandibular joint area and malocclusion due to loss of the molar region with osteochondroma on the top left of her mandibular condyle head. The patient is able to recover gradually from the symptom through treatments on manipulation, stabilization splint, arthroscopic lavage and surgical excision, thus, this is reported as a clinical case.

Fish ages are critical information in fish stock assessments because they are required for age-structure models such as virtual population analysis and stochastic catch-at-age models, whose outputs include recruitment strengths, a spawning stock size (abundance or biomass), and the projection of a fish population size in future. However, most countries other than the developed countries have not identified ages of fish caught by fisheries or surveys in a consistent manner for a long time (e.g.,>20 years). Instead, data about fish body sizes (e.g., lengths) have been well available because of ease of measurement. To infer age compositions of fish in a target group using fish length data, we intended to improve the length frequency analysis (LFA), which Schnute and Fournier had introduced in 1980. Our study was different in two ways from the Schnute and Fournier's method. First we calculated not only point estimates of age compositions but also the uncertainty in those estimates. Second, we modified LFA based on the von Bertalanffy growth model (vB-based model) to allow both individual-to-individual and cohort-to-cohort variability in estimates of parameters in the vB-based model. For illustration, we used data about lengths of Korean mackerel Scomber japonicas caught by purse-seine fisheries from 2000-2016.

Most denuded mountain areas in Korea were completely stabilized by the successful work of the 1st and 2nd 10-year Forest Development Plans which targeted the reforestation of denuded forest lands. The objectives of this study are (1) to estimate the depth of organic horizon in the soil profile, (2) to investigate the change of vegetation structure, (3) to estimate the change of biomass in the erosion controlled and rehabilitated mountain areas with the passage of time. This study was carried out as the 5th times. The first study began in the year of 1985, the second study was in the year of 1988, the third study was in the year of 1992, 4th was in the year of 1998 and 5th was in the year of 2002. The first study started in the study sites which elapsed 9 years after erosion control works. The results of the study were as follows : The increase rate of soil thickness was estimated to $Y_{(cm)}=2.906log_{(yr)}-3.2476(r^2=0.917)$ during 26 years after erosion control works. The important value of pines decreased to 14.7% on upper layer. But, the important value of alders. which did not plant on erosion control work increased to 27.1%. The decrease of whole crown projection indicates that pines. and alders were heavily injured by pine leaf gall midge in the year of 1993, 1995 years and Agelastica coerulea Baly in the year of 1986, 1987 years at Yoju-gun. The young growth of pines and alders not appeared on the soil surface which elapsed 26 years after erosion control works. On the lower layer, oaks occupied over 50% in I.V, RD, RC, RF. In process of years, the increase of biomass estimated to be $Y_{(t/ha)}={0.7505X_{(yr)}}^{1.6335}\;(r^2=0.9712)$ for 26 years after erosion control works.

기후변화에 의한 미래 수문량 전망에 대한 연구는 전지구 모델 결과를 바탕으로 이루어진다. 현재 전지구 모델의 모의 결과 생산된 강우 자료는 기상청에서 제공되며, 제공된 자료는 기상청 관측 지점에 국한되어 있다. 어떤 유역의 확률홍수량 전망은 유역내 강우 지점의 확률강우량을 강우-유출 모형인 HEC-1에 입력하여 추정할 수 있다. 한강 유역과 같은 대유역의 확률홍수량을 구하기 위해서는 유역내 기상청 관측 지점만으로는 지점수가 부족하기 때문에 국토해양부나 수자원공사 관할의 지점 자료를 활용한다. 하지만 이러한 대유역의 미래 확률홍수량을 전망하고자 하는 경우에 제공되는 전지구 모델 결과가 기상청 지점에 국한되어 있어 다른 지점의 확률강우량을 산정하는 데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위해 지역빈도해석을 이용하여 미래 전망 자료가 없는 지점들의 확률강우량을 추정하였다. 지역빈도해석을 수행하기 위해서는 관측 자료가 있는 유역내 지점들의 특성치(site characteristics)를 바탕으로 지역을 구분하고, Hosking and Wallis(1997)가 제안한 이질성 척도(heterogeneity measure)를 근거로 구분된 지역의 수문학적 동질성 여부를 검토하며, 각 지역에 대한 성장곡선(growth curve)를 추정한다. 지역별로 추정된 성장곡선에 지점의 연최대값 평균을 곱하면 그 지점의 확률강우량을 추정할 수 있다. 따라서 미래 기간의 지역별 성장곡선과 지점의 연최대값 평균을 전망할 수 있으면, 미래 기간의 지점별 확률강우량을 산정할 수 있고, 이를 바탕으로 확률홍수량도 전망할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 전지구 모델에서 모의된 강우 자료를 바탕으로 미래 기간의 성장곡선을 추정하고, 과거 대비 미래 기간의 지속기간별 연최대값 평균의 비율을 산정하여 모의 자료가 없는 지점에 적용함으로써 미래 기간의 연최대값 평균을 산정하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 미래 기간의 확률강우량을 산정하도록 하였다. 이 기법의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해 관측 자료를 두 기간으로 구분하여, 이 기법을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량과 관측 자료로부터 산정한 확률강우량을 비교하였다.
