This study was to investigate the fitness of the dental arch line to the parabola, and to estimate correlation between the parabola and some ratios of the dental arch measurements. The sample was consisted of the 64 plaster casts showing normal occlusion which was taken from males and females of Korea, aging from 15 to 18 years. The photos of occlusal surface of the plaster casts were taken, and 38 landmarks on the film were selected. The 3 dental arch lines on each dental arch were imaged. One is the dental arch line passing the points of the most buccal surfaces of the teeth, another is that passing the buccal cusp tips of the posterior teeth and the incisal edges, and the other is that passing the midpoints of the teeth. The landmarks on the film were digitized, and measurements and statistics were performed by the IBM computer. The results were as follows; 1. The fitness of the dental arch to the parabola was very good. The fitness of thor upper dental arch was above $91\%$, and that of the lower dental arch was $93\%$. 2. The dental arch line passing the points of the most buccal surfaces of teeth was best fit to the parabola, the buccal cusp tip arch line and the midpoint arch line in order. 3. Correlation between the ratio of oblique molar dental height to molar width and the parabola was very high. 4. The ratio of oblique molar dental height to molar width was devided into 4 groups by the quartiles, and mean parabolic equations and curves were calculated and drawn.

Background: In the early stages of development, teeth and lingual papillae are induced and developed through special and complex epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Tooth completion indicates the beginning of the weaning phase, and accordingly, many oral tissues and organs are completed, and it is thought that their developmental completion times are related to each other. The purpose of this study was to clarify the embryonic and neonatal development of the filiform papillae and mandibular molar tooth, and discuss the developmental relationship between these organs by comparing the developmental completion times. Methods: Embryos at embryonic day 15 (EM15), 17 (EM17), and 21 (EM21) and mice at neonatal day 1 (NE1), 5 (NE5), 10 (NE10), and 21 (NE21) were used for experimentation. Tissues dissected from embryos and mice were fixed, and processed for histological analysis. Sections from the tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for observation under a light microscope. Results: Based on the histological analysis results, the developmental process of the lingual epithelium covering the dorsal surface of the tongue was classified into three stages: initiation, morphogenesis, and functional. The development of the filiform papillae begins at EM17; undergoes rapid morphological changes in epithelial cells at EM21, PN1 and PN5, and reaches the functional stage at PN10, which is the sucking phase. Tooth development begins at EM13 or 15 and is completed at NE21 through prenatal and postnatal development. Conclusion: The development of the filiform papillae was initiated late and completed quickly through embryonic and neonatal development in comparison with the mandibular molar tooth. The filiform papillae are considered to play an important role in sucking rather than mastication as it is completed in the sucking phase.

In this paper, we studied how and why did abnormal IMC growth at component affect on board level mechanical reliability. First, interfacial reactions between Sn2.5Ag0.5Cu solder and electrolytic Ni/Au UBM of component side were investigated with reflow times and thermal aging time. Also, to compare mechanical reliability of component level, shear energy was evaluated using the ball shear test conducted with variation of shear tip speed. Finally, to evaluate mechanical reliability of board level, we surface-mounted component fabricated with each condition on PCB side. After conducting of 3 point bending test and impact test, we confirmed solder joint crack mode using cross-sectioning and dye & pry penetration method.

Tissue engineered bone (TEB) can replace an autogenous bone graft requiring an secondary operation site as well as avoid complications like inflammation or infection from xenogenic or synthetic bone graft. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for TEB are considered to have various ranges of differentiation capacity or multipotency by the donor site and age. This study examined the effect of age on proliferation capacity, differentiation capacity and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) responsiveness of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) according to the age. In addition, to evaluate the effect on enhancement for osteoblast differentiation, the hBMSC were treated with Trichostatin A (TSA) and 5-Azacitidine (5-AZC) which was HDAC inhibitors and methyltransferase inhibitors respectively affecting chromatin remodeling temporarily and reversibly. The young and old group of hBMSC obtained from the iliac crest from total 9 healthy patients, showed similar proliferation capacity. Cell surface markers such as CD34, CD45, CD90 and CD105 showed uniform expression regardless of age. However, the young group showed more prominent transdifferentiation capacity with adipogenic differentiation. The osteoblast differentiation capacity or BMP responsiveness was low and similar between young and old group. TSA and 5-AZC showed potential for enhancing the BMP effect on osteoblast differentiation by increasing the expression level of osteogenic master gene, such as DLX5, ALP. More study will be needed to determine the positive effect of the reversible function of HDAC inhibitors or methyltransferase inhibitors on enhancing the low osteoblast differentiation capacity of hBMSC.

Bulging of the lower eyelid & tear trough groove is regarded as a sign of aging. In the past, the surgical excision of the fat pad has been the mainstray of the management of lower palpebral bag in cosmetic blepharoplasty, Recently, fat pad sliding method has been introduced to make more attractive lower eyelids. We used the fat pad for covering the hollowness of the lower eye lid. And we use redundant fat pad for filling & augmentation of the lower eye lid by reflexion. Redraping of the orbicularis arc, with its accompanying midfacial fat repositioning, anatomically restores the cheek and lower lid to make more youthful contour. By redraping and fixing the orbicularis arc on the medial surface of the orbital rim, it becomes a more attractive midface and may prevent of ectropion. From August, 2002 to July, 2004 in correction of lower palpebral bulge & tear trough groove, these two technique were performed in 42 consecutive individuals (84 lower eyelid) for two-year period. Follow up ranged from 3 to 15 months. (an average of 9 months) Palpebral bulge & tear trough groove were corrected and obtained a youthful midface. Complication was rare. The advantages of these techniques are that: prevent in of secondary palpebral bulge and irregularity of lower eyelid by using of reflexed fat fad; prevent in of ectropion. Thus an attractive midface is obtained by redraping of orbicularis arc.

The current conditions of large water mains are evaluated by deteriorations and the causes of deterioration are investigated through visual assessments in the field, mechanical tests and analysis of chemical compositions in laboratory for each pipe material, unlined cast iron pipes (CIPs), ductile iron pipes (DCIPs) and steel pipes (SPs) Tubercles and scales from internal and external corrosion of unlined cast iron pipes were identified as the causes of functional performance limitations in large water mains. It is investigated that main causes of internal and external corrosion of water pipes are from lots of depositions of organic and inorganic substances on pipe surface, concentrated pitting, and uniform corrosion by local or global exfoliation or detachment of lining and coatings of DCIPs and SPs. Internal and external corrosion depths of CIPs were higher than those of DCIPs and SPs. Consequently, total corrosion rate summed internal and external corrosion rates of CIPs also were shown to be higher than those of DCIPs and SPs. The failure time from hole generation of CIPs by total corrosion rate was predicted to be taken sixteen years, and DCIPs and SPs were twenty-six years and one hundred and fifty three years. And longitudinal deflection of investigated water mains were not happened and mechanical strengths such as tensile strength, elongation, and hardness also were mostly suited to Korea Standards. It was thought that the weakness of tensile strength of one sample(S-11) was, however, due to higher carbon contents(%) in CIPs. Pipe deterioration score of S-46 was 55.2 and was preferentially assessed to be rehabilitated.

The nanocrystalline zirconia powder with anisotropic shapes was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of the tetragonal zirconia prepared by aging the zirconium hydroxide precipitate, which was obtained from the reaction between $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and KOH solutions under the fixed pH of 13.5, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. With increasing the hydrothermal reaction temperature and time, the fraction of tetragonal phase with spherical zirconia decreased, whereas, relatively the fraction of monoclinic phase with spindle-like and rod shape zirconia increased. As increased concentration of the NaOH solution it promoted the particle size to become larger and the crystalline phase to transform tetragonal to monoclinic. However, the specific surface area at the early stage of the reaction increased and subsequently decreased because of grain growth in powder with longer reaction time.

A stable suspension with a colloidal $ZrO_2$ particle was prepared by an adsorption of PV A and investigated to the effects of PV A on the dispersion and particle growth within suspension. With a suspension added the optimum concentration of PYA (about 500 ppm in this study), it was shown the property of a stable sol due to the formation of adsorbed PV A layer on surface and the reduction of an agglomeration among the particles. Most of nucleation in colloidal $ZrO_2$ were occured in the early stage of hydrolysis reaction and the plate-like monoclinic $ZrO_2$ particle were grown with an aging time. The rate of particle growth and yield for a reaction were decreased with an addition of PV A. The compact prepared from well- dispersed suspension by an addition of PV A was contained the homogeneous particle arrangement and pore distribution.

Fretting is a kind of surface degradation mechanism observed in mechanical components and structures. The fretting damage decreases in 50-70% of the plain fatigue strength. This may be observed in the fossil power plant and the nuclear power plant used in special environments and various loading conditions. The thermal degradation of material is observed when the heat resisting steel is exposed for long period time at the high temperature. In the present study, the degraded 1Cr-0.5Mo steel used for long period time at high temperature (about 515$^{\circ}C$) and artificially reheat-treated materials are prepared. These materials are used for evaluating an effect of thermal aging on the fretting fatigue behavior. Through the experiment, it is found that the fretting fatigue endurance limit of the reheat-treated 1Cr-0.5Mo steel decreased about 46% from the non-fretting fatigue endurance limit, while the fretting fatigue endurance limit of the degraded 1Cr-0.5Mo steel decreased about 53% from the non-fretting fatigue endurance limit. The maximum value of fatigue endurance limit difference is observed as 57%(244 MPa) between the fretting fatigue of degraded material and non-fretting fatigue of reheat-treated material. These results can be a basic data to a structural integrity evaluation of heat resisting steel considered to thermal degradation effect.

UV irradiation causes skin-aging involving coarse wrinkles, thickening, dyspigmentation, and rough skin surface. This study was carried out to develop health & functional food by using Korean red ginsneg and Fagopyrum esculentum extract mixture (RGFE) for prevention of skin wrinkles. The RGFE-treated group showed the more effective collagenase inhibition rate than the red ginseng (RG)-treated group. To investigate photo protective effects of RGFE on UV-induced damaged skin, SKH hairless male mice were orally administerd RGFE and regional treatment and irradiated with UV for up to 8 weeks. In RGFE-treated group, better skin, and less wrinkle formation were observed compared with UV group. Epidermal thickness of hairless mouse was significantly decreased in RGFE, RG, and Fagopyrum esculentum (FE) groups compared with UV group. These results demonstrate RGFE have photo-protective effects on UV-damaged hairless mouse skin.
