This study is focusing on teenagers who are needed a correction program called "Gillwe School". This program has a companion who is called a guide and the guide leads them correction program while walking with teenagers. This report has represented 131 semantic units, 7 sub-constituencies and 4components through analysis of 46 cases of the companion participants stories since 2014 and clearly, defined as the final four regions ("Understanding of protection youth", "Positive change of companion's gaze", "Doubts the walking program", "Program's effectiveness and Companion's importance,".) Through a series of studies, I look forward to finding ways to develop programs for the protection of juvenile correctional professionals, such as trarining professional counselors for protection youth, duration and number of correction programs, and expanding the number of participants.

Ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie, is a congenital condition which occurs as a result of fusion between the tongue and the floor of the mouth. Ankyloglossia often results in malocclusion with an anterior "open bite" deformity, early prognathism, swallowing problem, speech disorder, and periodontal problem. Generally lingual frenectomy is used for treatment of ankyloglossia, but incomplete operation and simple frenectomy may produce a scar contracture resulting in a more deformed ankyloglossia than was present initially. The Z-plasty is used for the correction of scar contractures and the replacement of missing tissue and this procedure is ideally suited for the treatment of an ankylosed frenum. Most authors advise postponement of any decision for surgical correction of tongue-tie until the age of 4 years, unless the child is having much difficulty with sucking or swallowing. We treated 4 patients with ankyloglossia using Z-plasty technique. As a result, we found out that it was effective for correction of movement limitation of tongue, prevention of relapse. Further, periodic check ups are needed for evaluation of relapse, improvement of speech, and other functions of the tongue.

Objectives : To understand spatial cause hypothesis of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, the body truncus area was divided into intracranial, thoracic and pelvic cavity and was illustrated, the subjective pain degrees of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia were compared with the illustraion of three cavity. Methods : The frontal view of pictures of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia subject truncus area were illustrated into three circles which was treated with conservative methods like the pelvic correction, cervical correction, FCST, posture training without drugs and acupuncture. The spatial analysis of three circle vertical centerlines were compared with the pain degrees. Results : The vertical centerlines of three circles were agreed with the body gravity centerline depending on the treatment progresses. namely, as the parts of truncus were matched to the body gravity centerline, the degrees of pain were decreased. Conclusions : The vascular pressure on the trigeminal nerve which was causing the idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia might be induced by the spatial misalignment of truncus area because the spatial misalignment of it can press to move vascular into trigeminal nerve partially. Further study will be progressed.

Taussig-Bing anomaly is infrequently associated with interrupted aortic arch and size discrepancy of great arteries makes it difficult to undergo arch reconstruction and arterial switch operation. A 20-day old male infant was admitted with the diagnosis of Taussig-Bing anomaly with type B Interrupted aortic arch. Multi-organ failure, due to the diminution of ductal flow, was stabilized after 3 weeks of prostaglandin El and controlled ventilatory support. The surgical correction consisted of VSD closure, arterial swtich and extended aortic arch reconstruction. The marked disparity between the hypoplastic ascending aorta and the dilated main pulmonary artery was overcome by constructing distal neoaorta using both native ascending and descending aortic tissue. The patient was extubated on postoperative 2nd day Postoperative catheterization showed no left ventricular outflow obstruction, no intracardiac shunt, and no incompetence of neoaortic valve.

Unilateral nostril hypoplasia is an extremely rare congenital malformation of unknown etiology, and only a few cases have been reported in literature. Owing to variability and complexity of the deformity, surgical correction of unilateral nostril hypoplasia represents one of the most significant reconstructive challenges to reconstructive plastic surgeons. We report a 7-year-old Vietnamese child with nasal and periocular deformity resembling a craniofacial cleft. Grossly, the right nostril was patent but with alar rim deformity, and the left nostril was not readily identifiable. A dystopic medial canthus was present on the left side as well. Closer inspection and palpation of the left side of nose revealed a patency through the soft tissue and underlying bony structure, Thus, a new alar rim were reconstructed with an irregularly shaped Z-plasty to create patency on the involved side. Simulatneously, a second Z-plasty was performed to address the medial canthal deformity. Postoperative appearance and function was sastisfactory at one-year follow up visit. In the treatment of patients with nostril hypoplasia, a careful preoperative physical examination is a prerequisite, and Z-plasty can be a valuable option for surgical correction.

Cleft lip lower-lip deformity is a secondary deformity in patients who underwent primary cheiloplasty of the upper lip, characterized by an enlarged and anteriorly rotated lower lip. In these cases, soft-tissue imbalances remain even after skeletal correction with orthognathic surgery, and additional soft tissue treatment is required for lip harmony and esthetic facial balance in CLP (cleft lip palate) patients. This study describes three cases of transverse myomucosal excision of the lower lip for correction of cleft lip lower-lip deformity to restore facial esthetic balance. Each patient underwent orthognathic surgery, rhinoplasty, or upper lip revision cheiloplasty according to condition. Postoperatively, volume of the lower lip decreased and lip harmony was improved in all three patients. The surgeon should fully understand the anatomical structure around the lips and be able to evaluate overall harmony of the soft tissue. When a lower lip deformity is present, careful surgical planning and execution are important for each patient.

A 8-year-old boy underwent surgical correction of complete transposition S.D.D. of great arteries combined with subaortic ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis [infundibular and valvular]. The operation consisted of an internal baffling connecting the left ventricle to the aorta through the ventricular septal defect. The pulmonary stenosis was corrected with the method of external connection, the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery using the conduit valve [20 mm] contained Hancock due to abnormal distribution of left coronary artery of which conduit due to abnormal distribution of left coronary artery of which the circumflex branch crossed the portion of right ventricular outflow tract. This case was suitable for corrective surgery-Rastelli operation-and the patient`s condition in very good until present [post-operative 5 months].

A surgical correction was successfully performed in a adult female who had pulmonary atresia with almost non-confluent pulmonary artery, PDA and ventricular septal defect. Initially as a first stage of corrective surgery isolation of patent ductus arteriosus, ligation of aortopulmonary collaterals and identification of the pathologic anatomy of left pulmonary artery through left posterolateral approach were performed. At the second stage, a week after the initial operation, total correction was done making both pulmonary arteries confluent with albumin coated woven-dacron graft, external valved conduit and closure of large VSD of subarterial and perimembranous type. The PDA was ligated with previously encircled heavy stitch soon after partial bypass was started. Although massive bleeding from anastomotic site of dilated left pulmonary artery to the graft occurred preoperatively, postoperative functional improvement was excellent in terms of disappearance of cyanosis and normal exercise tolerance.

Pulmonary atresia with VSD is uncommon congenital anomaly with high mortality in neonatal period. Recently we experienced surgical correction of 2 cases of pulmonary atresia with VSD. The first case was 7-year old female patient and diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD combined PDA. So, total correction was undertaken which consisted of PDA ligation, patch repair of VSD, transannular enlargement of RVOT with woven Dacron vascular graft, and closure of PFO. Postoperative systemic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.44 and her postoperative course was uneventful. The second case was 6-year old male patient diagnosed as pulmonary atresia with VSD and large systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries. There were two large systemic-pulmonary collaterals, one was simply controlled by ligation, but the other was considered to supply Rt. upper lung. So end to side anastomosis was performed to the RVOT patch. Postoperative systolic Rt. ventricular and radial artery pressure ratio was 0.54. During the follow up period he showed clinical picture of Rt. heart failure, which is relatively well controlled with anticongestive therapy.

We experienced a case of anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta associated with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, absence of left pulmonary artery afld multiple major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA). At ten month of age, left pulmonary artery creation with unifocalization and right pulmonary artery banding were performed as the Urst stage, followed by coil embolization of right MAPCA 1 month later, and 1 year later, the total correction was done. After total repair, the patient showed good postoperative course and excellent angiographic and hemodynamic results at 1 year follow-up study.
