Synovial chondromatosis is a rare metaplastic disease affecting the joints, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Since its symptoms are similar to those of temporomandibular disorders, a careful differential diagnosis is essential. A 50-year-old male patient was referred with the chief complaint of pain and radiopaque masses around the left TMJ on panoramic radiography. Clinically, pre-auricular swelling and resting pain was found, without limitation of mouth opening. On cone-beam computed tomographic images, multiple calcified nodules adjacent to the TMJ and bone proliferation with sclerosis at the articular fossa and eminence were found. T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showed multiple signal-void nodules with high signal effusion in the superior joint space and thickened cortical bone at the articular fossa and eminence. The calcified nodules were removed by surgical excision, but the hypertrophic articular fossa and eminence remained. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was followed up few months later without recurrence.

Objective: To describe the brain CT and MR imaging findings of unusual acute encephalitis involving the thalamus. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and CT and/or MR imaging findings of six patients with acute encephalitis involving the thalamus. CT (n=6) and MR imaging (n=6) were performed during the acute and/or convalescent stage of the illness. Results: Brain CT showed brain swelling (n=2), low attenuation of both thalami (n=1) or normal findings (n=3). Initial MR imaging indicated that in all patients the thalamus was involved either bilaterally (n=5) or unilaterally (n=1). Lesions were also present in the midbrain (n=5), medial temporal lobe (n=4), pons (n=3), both hippocampi (n=3) the insular cortex (n=2), medulla (n=2), lateral temporal lobe cortex (n=1), both cingulate gyri (n=1), both basal ganglia (n=1), and the left hemispheric cortex (n=1). Conclusion: These CT or MR imaging findings of acute encephalitis of unknown etiology were similar to a combination of those of Japanese encephalitis and herpes simplex encephalitis. In order to document the specific causative agents which lead to the appearance of these imaging features, further investigation is required.

본 연구에서는 ERP검사 중에는 중뇌동맥의 MFV가 검사전후와 비교하여 유의하게 증가힌 소견을 보였다. 비록 중뇌동맥의 혈류속도의 변화가 뇌활동정도를 직접 반영할 수는 없다고 생각이 되지만 이 연구의 결과로 P300의 생성에 중뇌동맥에 의해서 영양받는 전두엽, 측두엽 및 두정엽이나 다른 대뇌부위가 관여할 것으로 사료된다. 경두개도플러검사는 다른 뇌기능활동을 반영할 수 있는 양전자방출단층촬영이나 단일광자방출단층촬영과 같이 혈류역학을 볼 수 있는 검사와 병행하여 연구하면 P300의 발생부위를 규명하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 사료되며 뇌활동을 역동적으로 평가하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of balancing interference on the mandibular movement and masticatory muscle activity. 5 subjects(male. average age of 24.3) without dysfuction in masticatory system were selected. The balancing interference was provided by construction of cast metal crown and onlay on the upper and lower first molars. Clinical examination, changes displacement and velocity, and muscle activity were recorded and analyzed by means of BioPak system(Bioresearch Inc., Milwaukee Wisconsin. USA). The results were as follows ; 1. In clinical examination, various symptoms were reported by all subjects after application of interference. Almost symptoms were subsided after elimination of interference. 2. In the border movements in frontal plane, lateral border movement toward non-interference side was changed according to the interference after application of interference. Immediately after removal of interference, border movements' pattern was recovered as same as before experiment. 3. During gum chewing on the non-interference side, horizontal movement was decreased immediately after application of interference(p<0.05). 1 week after application of interference, horizontal movement was more decreased in 3 subjects and showed a chopping type masticatory stroke. But in 2subjects, horizontal movement was increased to avoid interference. 4. In EMG of the mandibular rest position, no significant changes were showed in the experiment period(p>0.05). 5. During gum chewing on the interference side, the activity of opposite temporal muscle was increased immediately after application of interference(p<0.05). 1 week after application of interference. The activity of ipsilateral temporal muscle and left and right masseter muscles was increased (p<0.05). 1 week after elimination of interference, increased muscle activity was recovered about the same level as before experiment. 6. During gum chewing on the non-interference side, 1 week after application of interference, the activity of ipsilateral temporal muscle was increased (p<0.05). 1 week after elimination of interference. increased muscle activity was returned about the same level as before experiment.

본 논문에서는 이질적인 수신 단말을 위해 시공간적 계위(spatio-temporal scalability)를 이용한 새로운 3차원 영상 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 좌 영상의 부호화를 위해 MPEG-2 표준을 이용하며, 우 영상의 부호화를 위해서 향상된 호환성(enhanced compatible) 부호화 방법을 이용하여 P-와 B-타입의 영상을 예측한다. 향상된 호환성 부호화 방법은 두 개의 전후방향 움직임으로부터 예측된 매크로 블록과 양안차로부터 예측된 블록을 보간하여 매칭 블록을 예측한다. 유연성 있는 3차원 비디오 서비스를 위해서, 각각의 좌우 영상에 대해 시공간적 확장 가능한 계층을 정의하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 3차원 영상 부호화기의 성능을 기존의 방법들과 비교하여 검증하였으며, 양안차 예측의 이점을 계위에 따르는 오버헤드의 관점에서 분석하였다. 제안된 시공간적 계위를 이용한 3차원 영상 부호화기는 다양한 디스플레이 장치 및 네트워크 환경을 가지는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 위한 효율적인 3차원 비디오 전송 서비스에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives : Recently, people who have normal brachial blood pressure(BP) are being threatened by high-risk disease such as stroke. The aim of this study is to suggest that new method to assess systemic circulation. It can be performed by analyzing optimal blood pulse wave on 3 sites belonging to subjects that have normal BP. Methods : We respectively extracted main peaks(h1) of optimal blood pulse wave on left/right temporal artery(LR1=h1), radial artery(LR2=h1) and dorsalis pedis artery(LR3=h1). We obtained h1 from 30 subjects who are discreetly chosen and have normal BP. Main peak(h1) can be extracted by using 3D pulse imaging analyser(DMP-1000+, DAEYOMEDI Co., Korea) that has 5-level pressure method. We analyzed the ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2]. Results : In the case of male group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.7100.177] and [LR3/LR2=0.9290.317]. In the case of female group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.6680.121] and [LR3/LR2=0.7050.195]. Especially, it is statistically verified that the result of ratio [LR3/LR2] is much higher in male group than in female group(p<0.05). Conclusions : We suggested the standard ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2] for normal subjects, respectively. It can be adopted as a new method to evaluate the systemic circulation.

파워 어시스트 휠체어(PAW)가 주행방향을 일직선으로 유지하기 위해서는 좌우 휠에 같은 힘이 전달되어야 한다. 하지만 인간은 양쪽 팔 힘이 서로 다르고 항상 균일하게 자신의 힘을 제어하지 못하므로 PAW 운전시 방향보정을 빈번하게 해야 할 수도 있다. 따라서 직선구간에서 PAW의 주행방향을 일정하게 유지하거나 회전구간에서 방향전환을 신속하게하기 위해서는 불균형한 입력토크로부터 사용자의 주행의도를 감지하여 적절한 어시스트 출력토크를 생성하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 좌우측 push-rim에 가해지는 입력토크 신호간의 시간적 유사성으로부터 사용자의 주행의도를 판단하는 새로운 방식를 제시하고, 이를 이용한 토크밸런스 제어기법을 제안한다. 그리고 주행실험을 통해 제안한 밸런스 제어기의 효용성을 검증하였다.

We present a recordings of 37-year-old woman with simultaneous ictal scalp and subdural electrodes. The ictal rhythm on subdural electrocorticography (ECoG) started earlier (median 24.5 sec) and ended later (median 2.0 sec) compared to ictal rhythm on scalp EEG. Eight ictal ECoG recordings were well localized to left temporal area, whereas ictal scalp EEG recordings were not. Our case shows the obvious timing relations between two recordings, and different electrophysiologic information about localization of ictal onset zone.

We report a surgically challenging case of a large lipoma located from the temple, across the zygomatic region to the buccal area, resembling two different masses. An 82-year-old man presented with two persistently growing soft masses at his left temple and cheek. A computed tomographic scan revealed a single large radiolucent mass extending from the submuscular layer of the left temple crossing beneath the zygomatic arch to the buccal region, rather than two individual masses. Excision was performed through upper gingivobuccal and temporal incisions. The mass was dissected through both incisions, cut in half, and extracted from both sides. No complications were observed. The biopsy result was consistent with a lipoma. Four months later, the scars were inconspicuous, and the patient was satisfied. Considering the size, shape, and location, this is a rare and intriguing case. The bi-directional approach allowed for successful total excision without any complications, leaving inconspicuous scars.
