Masticatory function is more important than esthetics in posterior fixed restoration. The usual technique-mounting the casts on a semi-adjustable articulator, etc. -cannot make all patients satisfied with their restorations. For example, functionally generated path technique can be an easier and more satisfactory method in the restoration of group function. These clinical reports describe various approaches for occlusal restoration of relatively simple posterior fixed protheses according to patients occlusal patterns. The 3-unit bridge restoration is one of the most popular treatment options in prosthodontics. Because dentists have much experiences of it, they restore a missing span of one tooth mechanically, that is, without special consideration. While esthetics is important in making an anterior 3-unit fixed prostheses, mastication is more focused on in posterior 3-unit bridge restoration. Many dentists are concerned about various aspects in esthetics, such as morphology of the tooth, value, chroma, hue, translucency, surface texture, etc. But they do not usually consider various methods to restore occlusion. They treat one-tooth-missing area in a similar way in spite of patients having variety of occlusal patterns. Three cases are presented here in 3 or 4-unit bridge restoration. They show some methods to restore patients' occlusal patterns.

Purpose : To describes the important aspects of knee joint movement and function used when applying PNF technique to the lower limb. Method : The knee was a very important roles in the lower limb movement and ambulation. This study summarizes the physiologic movement of knee to the PNF lower extremity patterns. Result : The tibiofemoral joint is usually described as a modified hinge joint with flexion-extension and axial rotation by two degrees of freedom movement. These arthrokinematics are a result of the geometry of the joints and the tension produced in the ligamentous structures. The patellofemoral joint is a sellar joint between the patella and the femur. Stability of the patellofemoral joint is dependent on the passive and dynamic restraints around the knee. In a normal knee the ligaments are inelastic and maintain a constant length as the knee flexes and extends, helping to control rolling, gliding and translation of the joint motions. Conclusions : It is important to remember that small alterations in joint alignment can result in significant alterations in patellofemoral joint stresses and that changes in the mechanics of the patellofemoral joint can also result in changes in the tibiofemoral compartments. Successful treatment requires the physical therapist to understand and apply these arthrokinematic concepts. When applied to PNF low extremity patterns, understanding of these mechanical concepts can maximize patient function while minimizing the risk for further symptoms or injury.

The purpose of this review are that what is the concept of sport P. N. F and to give the information about proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique when the sport physical therapy will be needed in field. Technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation are methods of placing specific demands in order to secure a desired response. Greatest emphasis was placed on the application of optimal resistance throughout the range of motion, using many combinations of motions which were related to primitive patterns and employment of postural and righting reflexes. The treatment after sport injury patient is required that two component actions of muscles as well as permitting action to occur at two or more joint. The effect of P. N. F and of sprot P. N. F are reviewed. Implications for treatment of sport disability are suggested.

Chronic formaldehyde inhalation studies have suggested its relativity to teratogenicity, cancer incidence, neurodegenerative and vascular disorders. Many toxicological data on the formaldehyde toxicity are available, but proteomic results showing complete protein profiles are limited. Therefore, alterations of protein expression patterns upon formaldehyde treatment were investigated in the human lung epithelial cell line. Differentially expressed proteins following formaldehyde treatment were analyzed on 2-dimensional gels, and further analyzed by MALDI-TOF to identify the proteins. Among the identified proteins, 24 proteins were notably up-regulated and 6 proteins were down-regulated. In particular, cytoskeleton related protein named vinculin and Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor which plays a key role in apoptosis increased remarkably.

The epilithic algal communities on the artificial substrata (unglazed ceramic tiles) were investigated from 5th July to 24th July 1999 with two or three days intervals for elucidating the effects of the experimental acidification. They were harvested inside the mesocosm with and without the acid treatment on Togyo reservoir within the Civilian Passage Restriction Line near Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea. After the colonization of epilithic algal community, their standing crops revealed different patterns outside and inside the mesocosm. However the time lapse of 5 days was observed on the inside with acid treatment. The dominant species were different: Achnanthes minutissima was outside but Coenochloris polycocca was inside and inside with acid treatment. The differences in floral composition were also found. Achnanthes minutissima which has been the most important species in the colonization by the epilithic algal community of the mesocosm was less important at the lower pH. Coenochloris polycocca is a species well adapted to low pH.

The effect of the solution & aging treatment on the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area, hardness was studied in the 17-4 PH stainless steel. SEM pictures were also taken in order to examine the fracture surfaces and precipitated particles. X-ray diffraction patterns for the heat treated samples were also observed. Mechanical properties of the heat treated samples were superior to those of as cast samples. Tensile strength, yield strength, hardeness decreased with the increase of aging temperature. On the other hand, elongation and reduction of area increased as the aging temperature increased.

To determine structure and activities of microbial communities in a food wastewater treatment system, biofilm of RABC (rotating activated Bacillus contactor) and samples of aeration tanks were analyzed. Heterotrophic bacterial concentrations were similar between biofilm and stage 1 aeration tank and decreased 2-log at stage 3 aeration tank as dissolved oxygen decreased, however portions of Bacillus groups were increased at stage 3 aeration tank. It was revealed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of metabolic fingerprinting patterns of Biolog GN2 plate that RABC represented much higher activities and a different microbial community structure compared to aeration tanks. Metabolic fingerprinting showed the carbon sources that isolated Bacillus groups could or could not use, were used similarly meaning that not only Bacillus groups but also other microbial groups would contribute to the treatment of wastewater.

Wustite with NaCl structure is successfully synthesized in a quartz tube sealed under vacuum ( ≒1×10 -3 torr). Hematite in an evacuated quartz tube progressively loses oxide ion at 1373 K. XRD patterns disclose that α-Fe2O3 is transformed into the Fe3O4 after heat treatment at 1373 K for 32 h, and the poorly crystallized FeO is appeared after heat treatment for 48 h. Finally, α-Fe2O3 is completely transformed into the well crystallized Fe 0.935O after heat treatment for 84 h. The electrical resistivity, ac-susceptibility measurement, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy corroborate the structural phase transition on the iron oxides prepared in a sealed quartz tube depending on the heating time at 1373 K.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a type of acute herpes zoster, which occurs by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus at the geniculate ganglion. Clinical presentation of Ramsay Hunt syndrome includes a vesicular rash on the ear (herpes zoster oticus) or in the oral mucosa accompanied by acute peripheral facial nerve paralysis. Other cranial nerves such as V, IX, XI, and XII are often involved. Additional variability of the clinical picture of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is produced by varying patterns of skin involvement explained by individual anastomoses between cranial and cervical nerves. Combination treatment containing anti-viral agents and steroids is recommended for the treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Additionally, early diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a crucial factor to improve damaged nerves in Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which initiates treatment as soon as possible.

In this study, silver pre-treated activated carbons are transformed using sulfuric acid. From the results of adsorption, each isotherm shows a distinct knee band, which is characteristic of microporous adsorbents with capillary condensation in micropores. In order to reveal the causes of the differences in adsorption capacity and specific surface area after the samples were washed with various strengths of sulfuric acid, surface morphology and external pore structure were investigated by SEM. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that Ag-activated carbons show better performance for silver and silver compounds removal by post-treatment with acid. The FT-IR spectra of silver-activated carbon samples show that the acid post-treatment was consequently associated with the removal of silver with an increased surface functional group containing oxygen of the activated carbon. The type and quality of oxygen groups are determined on the method proposed by Boehm. For the chemical composition microanalysis of silver-activated carbons transformed by post-treatment with sulfuric acid, samples were analyzed by EDX.
