Inclined plane, one of frequently used orthodontic appliances, may cause posterior displacement of mandible and injure the normal growth of temporomandibular joint. So author carried out the mandibular posterior displacement experimentally induced by inserting inclined plane in the rat incisors in order to investigate the histological reactions occuring in the temporomandibular joint of experimental animals. Following results were obtained. 1. The posterior displacement of condyle resulted in the widening of anterior synovial space with anterior condylar hyperplasia and posterior condylar atrophy. In addition, tissue changes were more severe in young rats than in adult rats. 2. The tissue reactions were localized only to condylar head ana there were no evidence of traumatic features in young rats. In adult rats, hemorrhage was an additional finding 1 week after experiment. 3. The remodelling processes were accompanied by the increasing or reduction of fibrous layer and subsequent replacement by cartilage layer occured massively and abruptly in young rats, it occured slightly and slowly in adult rats. 4. The remodelling process of injured condyle occured from 1 week to 4 weeks after experiment and completed between 8 weeks after experiment.

Objectives : This study is designed to improve the practical possibility using Blood-Letting therapy through reviewing the literature recorded in the Donguibogam. Methods : Records on Blood-Letting therapy have been extracted from Donguibogam. First all articles containing the key words 'Hyul (血)' and 'Rak (絡)' have been extracted. Of them, records associated with Blood-Letting therapy had been sited and classified in terms of searching patterns for the Blood-Letting area, instruments for Blooding-Letting, cautions and side effects for the practice, applicable symptoms, acupoints/extraordinary acupoints, and Blood-Letting areas. Results : The regions capable of Blood-Letting are generally engaged with abnormal skin color such as black, bluish red, dark purple, dark blue, etc, and localized collection of fibrous exudate. There are several instruments used for Blood-Letting therapy; Samreongchim (三陵鍼), Chogyong (草莖), Pichim (鈹鍼), Lodaeguan (蘆管尖), Sachim (砂鍼), Saechim (細鍼), Gichim (?鍼), Eunjam (銀簪), nail, etc. Several cautions and side effects of the Blood-Letting therapy are presented. The Blood-Letting therapy could be applied to broad spectrum of symptoms. Body parts being applied were not only several acupoints but also effective points of the body. Conclusions : This study shows that Donguibogam represents Blood-Letting therapy in clear fashion so as to enhance the convenience and its practicality.

Most clinicians have taken a lot of interest in tumors arising from the bony thorax because not only of their rarity and predictable diagnosis which could be reflected as a unique radiologic shadow but also variable surgical modes for maintenance of chest wall stability encountered after en-bloc resection. By the retrospective review, we have analyzed 24 cases of primary bony thorax tumors which were experienced and surgically treated at the St. Mary`s hospital of Catholic Medical College from Jan. 1969 to Sept. 1984. The results are as follows: 1. Age incidence was evenly distributed through all decades and the male-female ratio is 15:9. 2. 16 cases out of 24 were benign tumors and the commonest one of which was fibrous dysplasia. 3. Remaining 8 cases were malignant tumors and among which osteogenic sarcoma was the commonest one. 4. The majority of tumors [22/24] were developed from the rib and the remains were from the sternum. 5. Common manifestation were palpable mass or swelling and localized tenderness. 6. Various kinds of operative procedure were underwent: single resection of rib including tumor,14 cases; multiple resection of ribs with chemotherapy or myoplasty, 2 cases; en-bloc resection of the chest wall and reconstructive procedure, 5 cases; partial resection of sternum, 1 case; bone biopsy and chemotherapy, 2 cases.

In this study, a carbon nanotube (CNT) flexible strain sensor was fabricated with CNT based epoxy and rubber composites for tactile sensing. The flexible strain sensor can be fabricated as a long fibrous sensor and it also may be able to measure large deformation and contact information on a structure. The long and flexible sensor can be considered to be a continuous sensor like a dendrite of a neuron in the human body and we named the sensor as a biomimetic artificial neuron. For the application of the neuron in biomimetic engineering, an ANMS (Artificial Neuron Matrix System) was developed by means of the array of the neurons with a signal processing system. Moreover, a strain positioning algorithm was also developed to find localized tactile information of the ANMS with Labview for the application of an artificial e-skin.

Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint is a common disease characterized by pain at the insertional area of the deltoid muscle and decreased range of motion. The pathophysiological process involves fibrous inflammation of the capsule and intraarticular adhesion of synovial folds leading to capsular thickening and contracture. Regarding the multidirectional limitation of motion, a limitation in external rotation is especially prominent, which is related to not only global fibrosis but also to a localized tightness of the anterior capsule. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging studies can be applied to rule out other structural lesions in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis. Hydraulic distension of the shoulder joint capsule provides pain relief and an immediate improvement in range of motion by directly expanding the capsule along with the infusion of steroids. However, the optimal technique for hydraulic distension is still a matter of controversy, with regards to the infusion volume and rupture of the capsule. By monitoring the real-time pressure-volume profile during hydraulic distension, the largest possible fluid volume can be infused without rupturing the capsule. The improvement in clinical outcomes is shown to be greater in capsule-preserved hydraulic distension than in capsule-ruptured distension. Moreover, repeated distension is possible, which provides additional clinical improvement. Capsule-preserved hydraulic distension with maximal volume is suggested to be an efficacious treatment option for persistent adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of histochemical characteristics in inflammatory fibrous gingival hyperplasia (FGH), phenytoin-induced gingival hyperplasia(PIGH), idiopathic gingival hyperplasia(IDGH) and control groups (healthy and inflammatory gingiva) by immunohistochemical method with various antibodies and histomorphological analysis. In immunohistochemical finding, antibodies to inflammatory cells (T/B lymphocytes, macrophages, other monocytes), proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), epidermal growth factor(EGF), factor VIII, and type I collagen were used. 1. The inflammatory infiltrates in FGH were less than those in inflammatory gingiva. The composition of inflammatory cells of PIGH was similar with that of FGH. IDGH showed a similar histologic findings with healthy gingival tissue. 2. In FGH, the number of fibroblasts and newly-formed collagen fibers was increased. No significant increase of fibroblasts and the dense accumulation of thick collagen fibers were seen in PIGH. The increase of fibroblasts and the dense accumulation of thick collagen were seen in IDGH. 3. PCNA-positive cells were localized mainly in the area accumulated with inflammatory cells and blood vessels, significantly increased in all hyperplastic tissue groups, and distributed evenly in IDGH. 4. The distribution of EGF were not observed in healthy gingiva but detected locally in area with confluent blood vessels,without significant difference between the other tissue groups. This results suggest that inflammation plays a significant role in inducing hyperplastic change of gingival tissue. While in DIGH, drug itself as well as inflammation seems to attribute to hyperplastic change.
