  • Objectives : Vocal fold augmentation by injectable material under direct visual control is an easy and simple operation. However, when autologous fat or bovine collagen is used, resorption creates a problem. And autologous fascia is debating about absorption now days. This study is to evaluate the histology of minced and injected autologous auricular cartilage and fat graft in the augmentation of unilateral vocal fold paralysis using a canine model. Methods : Nine dogs were operated. At first, a piece of auricular cartilage was harvested from ear and minced into tiny chips with a scalpel. And also, a piece of fat tissue was harvested from inguinal area and minced into tiny chips with a scalpel. Cutting off a section of the recurrent nerve paralyzed the right vocal fold. The minced cartilage and fat-paste (0.2ml) was injected using a pressure syringe into the paralyzed thyroarytenoid muscle under direct laryngoscopy. Two animals were sacrificed at 3 days, three at 3 weeks, two at 3 months, one at 6 months, one at 12 months. Each dog underwent laryngectomy and serial coronal sections of paraffin blocks from the posterior part of the vocal fold were made. Results : There was no significant complication perioperatively and during follow-up. There was acute inflammatory findings in the graft at 3 days and 3 weeks. The injected cartilage remained in the larynx until 12 months. Conclusion : The autologous auricular cartilage graft is well tolerated and may be very effective material for volumetric augmentation on paralyzed vocal cord.

  • Laser is getting more attention from increasing numbers of dental clinicians by its own several unique characteristics : precision, hemostasis, and bactericidal capacity. It also provides patients with several advantages of minimal tissue damage. faster healing with less postoperative pain and minimal use of local anesthetics. Labial or lingual frenectomies were performed successfully in three pediatric patients using Nd-YAG laser. When compared to the conventional scalpel method, less local anesthetics were needed and the bleeding control was so excellent that any suture was not necessary. The operation sites were completely healed without any infection or complication and discomfort from swelling or pain was not noted in all cases throughout the healing process.

  • A cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme, was characterized from Codonopsis lanceolata. The cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase cDNA (CAPX) was 983 nucleotides long and possess an open reading frame of 753 bp with 251 amino acids (MW 27.9 kDa) with pI 5.61. The deduced amino acid sequence of CAPX shows high homology to other known cytosolic APXs ($78{\sim}83%$), but the CAPX was clustered independently from compared ten plant APXs. The CAPX gene was highly expressed in leaf and stem tissues, but not in root. When Codonopsis leaves cut using scalpel were soaked in 1 mM hydorgen peroxide, the expression of CAPX gene was suppressed.

  • A giant thyroid mass can be associated with severe compressive symptoms, requiring surgery for treatment. This paper reports the case of an 82-year-old man who presented with a giant thyroid mass that was suspected of being a metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma on fine-needle aspiration cytology. A harmonic scalpel was used to excise the giant thyroid mass. A pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was used for reconstruction. The histopathology assessment confirmed the metastases in the lymph node and papillary thyroid carcinoma in the resected gland.

  • Background and Objective : Vocal fold augmentation by injectable material under direct visual control is an easy and simple operation. However, when autologous fat or bovine collagen is used, the resoiption creates a problem. And autologous fascia is debating about absorption now days. We previously reported on the one year results of injected autologous auricular cartilage for volumetric augmentation in paralyzed canine vocal cord. This study evaluates the long-term histomorphologic results of injected autologous auricular cartilage for the augmentation of the paralyzed canine vocal fold at two year. Material and Methods . A prospective trial of autologous cartilage augmentation of vocal cord in animal model. Three dogs were operated upon. A piece of auricular cartilage was harvested from the ear and minced into tiny chips with a scalpel. Fat was harvested from inguinal area and minced with a scalpel. The minced cartilage and fat-paste (0.2ml) was injected using a pressure syringe into the paralyzed thyroarytenoid muscle using direct laryngoscopy. Three animals were sacrificed at 2 years. Each subject underwent laryngectomy and serial coronal sections of paraffin blocks from the posterior vocal fold were made. Results There was no significant complication perioperatively and during follow-up. The injected cartilage which appeared to have lost viability existed in the vocalis muscles until 24 months. Fibrotic change was exhibited in the surrounding injected cartilage. Conclusion : The autologous auricular cartilage graft is well tolerated and may be very effective material for volumetric augmentation on paralyzed vocal cord.

  • Purpose: The emergence profile concept of an implant restoration is one of the most important factors for the esthetics and health of peri-implant soft tissue. This paper reports on two cases of gingival recontouring by the fabrication of a provisional implant restoration to produce an optimal emergence profile of a definitive implant restoration. Methods: After the second surgery, a preliminary impression was taken to make a soft tissue working cast. A provisional crown was fabricated on the model. The soft tissue around the implant fixture on the model was trimmed with a laboratory scalpel to produce the scalloped gingival form. Light curing composite resin was added to fill the space between the provisional crown base and trimmed gingiva. After 4 to 6 weeks, the final impression was taken to make a definitive implant restoration, where the soft tissue and tooth form were in harmony with the adjacent tooth. Results: At the first insertion of the provisional restoration, gum bleaching revealed gingival pressure. Four to six weeks after placing the provisional restoration, the gum reformed with harmony between the peri-implant gingiva and adjacent dentition. Conclusions: Gingival recontouring with a provisional implant restoration is a non-surgical and non-procedure-sensitive method. The implant restoration with the optimal emergence profile is expected to provide superior esthetic and functional results.

  • Mature embryos were aseptically excised with a scalpel and sliced in fragments measuring 0.5 mm in diameter (sliced mature embryo fragment; 4 ${\~}$ 5 fragments/one embryo). Sliced mature embryo fragments of six wheat cultivars were cultured to develop an efficient method of callus induction and plant regeneration. Callus derived from sliced mature embryo fragments showed a good capacity to embryogenesis and regeneration. Furthermore sliced mature embryo fragments decreased contamination from fungi and bacteria. The high efficiency of callus induction were obtained Keumkangmil and Bob­white. For plant regeneration, selected embryogenic calli were transferred to two types regeneration media. An average number of green spots per callus was 4 to 5 in regeneration media after about one week. Percentage of plant regeneration showed high in regeneration medium containing 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 5 mg/l zeatin. Especially, Keumkangmil ($27.5\%$) and Bobwhite ($33.3\%$) showed high regeneration efficiency. This regeneration system from sliced mature embryo fragments may provide an effective and convenient explant for plant transformation studies.

  • Irritation fibroma is a reactive hyperplastic lesion caused by chronic stimuli with low intensity in the oral cavity. Irritation fibroma is common in middle-aged females but it may also occur at any age and sex. Clinical characteristics of irritation fibroma are similar to other reactive lesions or benign tumors, therefore, histological examination is essential to make an accurate diagnosis. This case report presents two cases of irritation fibroma occurred on the gingiva in young males. Two male patients in their 20s and 30s of age visited the clinic for the evaluation and treatment of painless gingival overgrowth in the anterior region. Clinically, the lesions were well-defined and firm, with similar color and texture to the adjacent normal gingiva. Excisional biopsy under local anesthesia was conducted with a scalpel, and the lesions were completely removed. Histopathologically, connective tissue consisting of dense collagen bundles, proliferation of fibroblasts and minor infiltrated inflammatory cells were observed. Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, the diagnosis of irritation fibroma was confirmed in both cases.
