Background: Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a treatment modality that alleviates radicular pain by intermittently applying high-frequency currents adjacent to the dorsal root ganglion. There has been no comparative study on analgesic effect according to the position of the needle tip in PRF treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of PRF according to the needle tip position. Methods: Patients were classified into 2 groups (group IP [group inside of pedicle] and group OP [group outside of pedicle]) based on needle tip position in the anteroposterior view of fluoroscopy. In the anteroposterior view, the needle tip was advanced medially further than the lateral aspect of the corresponding pedicle in group IP; however, in group OP, the needle tip was not advanced. The treatment outcomes and pain scores were evaluated at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after applying PRF. Results: At 4, 8, and 12 weeks, there were no significant differences between the successful response rate and numerical rating scale score ratio. Conclusions: The analgesic efficacy of PRF treatment did not differ with the needle tip position.

Transformed hairy roots of Scopolia parviflora, producing tropane alkaloids and native to Korea, were obtained following infection of rhizome segments with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4. Each root tip induced from inoculum sites excised and cultured in MS agar or liquid medium. About seventy of hairy root clones were established. Among them, several fast growing hairy root clones were examined for alkaliod content. Two dimensional TLC analysis showed that the tropane alkaloid pattern of hairy root was more complicated than that in the rhizome of mother plant. On the other hand, some hairy root clones did not produce scopolamine and hyoscyamine. In HPLC analysis, some hairy root clones yield higher levels of scopolamine and hyoscyamine than those of mother plant rhizome which used for infection. Scopolamine and hyoscyamine were identified by comparison of their retention times and of their spectra data with those of authentic compounds.

본 연구는 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis에 의해 발생하는 멜론 덩굴쪼김병의 간편 대량 저항성 검정법을 확립하기 위하여 수행하였다. 멜론의 덩굴쪼김병 저항성 검정에는 대부분 뿌리 침지(root-dipping) 접종 방법을 사용하고 있지만, 이 방법은 접종과정이 번거로워 노동력과 시간이 많이 소요된다. 간편 저항성 검정법을 개발하기 위해 뿌리 침지, scalpel, tip 및 토양관주 방법으로 F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis 균주를 감수성 및 저항성 멜론 품종에 접종하여 덩굴쪼김병 발생을 조사하였다. 그 결과 멜론 품종들은 scalpel 방법과 tip 방법에서 뿌리 침지 방법에서와 같은 분명한 저항성과 감수성 반응을 보였다. 하지만 tip 방법은 scalpel 방법보다 개체간의 발병도 차이가 약간 더 심하였으며 토양 관주 방법의 경우에는 감수성 멜론 품종들에서 덩굴쪼김병 발생이 매우 낮았다. 따라서 멜론 덩굴쪼김병의 간편 대량 저항성 검정을 위한 효율적인 접종 방법으로 scalpel 방법을 선발하였다. 그리고 scalpel 방법으로 접종할 때 접종 농도($1{\times}10^6$, $1{\times}10^7conidia/ml$)와 접종 후 재배 온도(25, $30^{\circ}C$)에 따른 멜론 품종들의 덩굴쪼김병 발생을 조사한 결과, 이들은 scalpel 방법으로 접종된 멜론 품종의 저항성 정도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그리고 확립한 간편 검정법을 이용하여 시판 멜론 22개 품종의 덩굴쪼김병 저항성을 뿌리 침지 접종 방법과 비교하여 실험하여 이 방법의 효용성을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 멜론 덩굴쪼김병에 대한 간편 대량 저항성 검정법으로 멜론 종자를 파종하고 온실($25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$)에서 7일 동안 재배한 유묘의 뿌리를 scalpel을 이용하여 상처를 준 후에 $1{\times}10^6conidia/ml$ 농도의 멜론 덩굴쪼김병균 포자현탁액을 포트 당 10 ml씩 관주하고 $25-30^{\circ}C$에서 약 3주일 동안 재배하는 것을 제안하고자 한다.

A spectral analysis and numerical simulation are employed to assess the effects of the stylus tip radius on measuring surface profiles. Original profiles with fractal spectral densities are generated and then are numerically traced with circular tipped stylus. Instead of their spectral densities, the accumulative power spectrums of traced profiles are analyzed. It is shown that the minimum wavelength of traced profile relates directly to the radius r of the stylus tip and the root-mean-square (rms) roughness ${\sigma}_o$ of original profile. From this accumulation spectral analysis, a formula is developed to estimate the minimum wavelength of traced profile. By using the concept of the minimum wavelength, an appropriate stylus tip radius can be chosen for the given rms roughness ${\sigma}_o$ of the profile.

Previous studies of a stepped cantilever with two straight segments under a suddenly applied constant force (a step load) applied at its tip have shown that the validity of deformation mechanisms is governed by certain geometrical restrictions. Single and double-hinge mechanisms have been proposed and it is shown in this paper that for a stepped cantilever with a stronger tip segment, i.e. $M_{0.1}$ > $M_{0.2}$, where $M_{0.1}$ and $M_{0.2}$ are the dynamic fully plastic bending moments of the tip and root segments, respectively, the family of possible yield mechanisms is expanded by introducing new double and triple-hinge mechanisms. With the aid of these mechanisms, it is shown that all initial deformations can be derived for a stepped cantilever regardless of its geometry and the magnitude of the dynamic force applied.

Hybries which was made up by chromosome of L. longiflorum and L. x elegans, using root-tip individual which was obtained through ovary slice culture, and root-tip of these parents, with hoirugen staining, gimsa staining and Q-H staining inaccordance with the location and the existence of secondary construction which waslocating near short arm centromere of No, 1,2,6,9. In metaphase of meiosis ofhybrid which was made up by univalent from 2 individuals to 10 individuals wasobserved, and nuclear plate which was having abnormal type's synthesis amounted to91% of all cells whieh were observed. This result showed the fact that someobstacle arose annormal progress of the divission after that time. 63% of the cellshad micronucleus from 1 individlial to 4 individuals in tetrad phase of meiosisdivision. The peroxidase and $\alpha$ -estelase zymogram phenotypes of parents andhybrids were determined using agarlose IEF gel. Crosses were performed betweenparents bearing dissimilar allelomorphs in orther to discern the genetic control ofthe resolved enzymes. Genetic variation of hybrids were detected at all but 2 plant progenies.

Frontonasal dysplasia is an uncommon congenital anomaly with diverse clinical phenotypes and highly variable clinical characteristics, including hypertelorism, a broad nasal root, median facial cleft, a missing or underdeveloped nasal tip, and a widow's peak hairline. Frontonasal dysplasia is mostly inherited and caused by the ALX genes (ALX1, ALX3, and ALX4). We report a rare case of a frontonasal dysplasia patient with mild hypertelorism, a broad nasal root, an underdeveloped nasal tip, an accessory nasal tag, and a widow's peak. We used soft tissue re-draping to achieve aesthetic improvements.

Hydroxyurea (HU), a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was tested as synchronizing agent in root-tip meristem of Allium wakegi. Roots were treated with 2.5mM HU for 14 h to accumulate meristem root-tip cells at the G1/S interface. After release from HU block, the cells re-entered the cell cycle with a high degree of synchrony. Synchronized mitotic frequency of A. wakegi was 22.7%, which was about 3.9 times as high as that of the control. The highest metaphase index(23.0%) was obtained when, 6 h after release from the HU block, the roots were treated with 0.05% colchicine for 2 h. Modifying various Giemsa staining protocols defined for animals and a few plant species, G-bands were visualized at prometaphase and metaphase chromosomes of A. wakegi. The higher degree of chromosome condensation, the less differential bands could be resolved. This is the first demonstration introduced partial mitotic synchronization into G-banding in plant.

Endodontic surgery is a procedure to treat apical periodontitis or abscess in cases that did not heal after nonsurgical treatment or retreatment. This might include situations with persistent intracanal infection after root canal treatment. Other reasons might be found in extraradicular infection, such as bacterial biofilm on the apical root surface or bacteria within the lesion. For many years, the treatment standard was the traditional approach with surgical burs and amalgam for root-end filling. Endodontic microsurgery is the most recent step in the evolution of endodontic surgery, applying not only ultrasonic tip and biocompatible filling materials but also incorporating high-power magnification and illumination. Although many studies have been published that advocate the use of modern technique, the traditional techniques are still widely used in the surgery community. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the endodontic microsurgery procedure including the root-end preparation and filling with the use of a surgical operating microscope.
