Two-dimensional cephalometric analysis has been used for diagnosis and treatment of correction of mandibular asymmetry by many maxillofacial surgeons. And 2D analysis showed excellent results in many cases, however 2D has some drawbacks in diagnosis and treatment planning because of its fundamental limitation like overlapping. Today many physicians use 3D diagnosis & treatment tools to expect better results and reduce possible errors. The aim of this report is to present treatment procedures using 3D analysis and treatment modalities for mandibular asymmetry patients.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is an endemic disease within specific regions in the world. Radiotherapy is the main treatment. In recent decades, intensity-modulated radiation therapy has undergone a rapid evolution. Compared with two-dimensional radiotherapy and/or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, evidence has shown it may improve quality of life and prognosis for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In addition, helical tomotherapy is an emerging technology of intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Its superiority in dosimetric and clinical outcomes has been demonstrated when compared to traditional intensity-modulated radiation therapy. However, many challenges need to be overcome for intensity-modulated radiation therapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the future. Issues such as the status of concurrent chemotherapy, updating of target delineation, the role of replanning during IMRT, the causes of the main local failure pattern require settlement. The present study reviews traditional intensity-modulated radiation therapy, helical tomotherapy, and new challenges in the management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The junction properties between the ferromagnet (FM) and two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system are crucial to develop spin electronic devices. Two types of 2DEG layer, InAs and GaAs channel heterostructures, are fabricated to compare the junction properties of the two systems. InAs-based 2DEG layer with low trans-mission barrier contacts FM and shows ohmic behavior. GaAs-based 2DEG layer with $Al_2O_3$ tunneling layer is also prepared. During heat treatment at the furnace, arsenic gas was evaporated and top AlAs layer was converted to aluminum oxide layer. This new method of forming spin injection barrier on 2DEG system is very efficient to obtain tunneling behavior. In the potentiometric measurement, spin-orbit coupling of 2DEG layer is observed in the interface between FM and InAs channel 2DEG layers, which proves the efficient junction property of spin injection barrier.

근래의 전기 전자 제품은 기능은 향상되는 반면 크기는 소형화되는 추세에 있다. 기존 입체 형태의 음향 신호 재생 장치로서의 엑츄에이터 대신 압전 소자를 이용한 스피커가 개발되기 시작하였다. 압전 소자는 압전 특성을 갖는 물질로서 물체의 외부에서 전압을 가할 때 기계적인 변형을 일으키는 특징(즉 피에조 특징)을 이용한다. 초기의 필름 스피커는 화학적 성질의 한계로 인하여 전도성 고분자 막을 형성하기 힘들다는 한계가 있었고, 도포한 두께를 균일하게 유지하기 힘들었으며, 음향 신호의 출력과 동작 주파수의 한계가 있다는 등의 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 전도 물질과 피에조 물질(필름)의 결합력을 증가시킴으로써 전도체의 저항을 줄이고 주파수 영역을 확장하고자 한다. 피에조 필름의 표면 접착력을 향상시키고, 고분자 전도체 막의 흡착력을 증가시킴으로써 음향시스템의 출력 향상을 위해 코로나 표면처리방식에 의한 표면 특징을 변화시킴으로써 출력개선을 하였다.

Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a recent technological development that may play a significant role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. It can be used to fabricate skull models or study models, as well as to make replica teeth in autotransplantation or tooth impaction cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of fabrication of replica teeth made by two types of 3D printing technologies. Methods: Fifty extracted molar teeth were selected as samples. They were scanned to generate high-resolution 3D surface model stereolithography files. These files were converted into physical models using two types of 3D printing technologies: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet technology. All replica teeth were scanned and 3D images generated. Computer software compared the replica teeth to the original teeth with linear measurements, volumetric measurements, and mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment. Paired t-tests were used to statistically analyze the measurements. Results: Most measurements of teeth formed using FDM tended to be slightly smaller, while those of the PolyJet replicas tended to be slightly larger, than those of the extracted teeth. Mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment of FDM and PolyJet group were 0.047 mm and 0.038 mm, respectively. Although there were statistically significant differences, they were regarded as clinically insignificant. Conclusions: This study confirms that FDM and PolyJet technologies are accurate enough to be usable in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

Streptomyces coelicolor (Muller) 의 세포에 $100 \mu$M 의 과산화수소를 1시간 동안 처리하여 과산화수소 스트레스중에 생성되는 단백질을 L-[$^{35}S$] methionine 을 이용하여 순간 표지하였다. 단백질을 추출하여 2차원 겔 전기영동으로 분석한 결과 지수 성장기의 세포가 가지는 총세포 단백질 중 약 100개의 단백질의 합성이 과산화수소에 의해 증가되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이들을 Pin(peroxide inducible) 단백질이라고 명명하고 과상화수소 처리 후 발현이 증가되는 시간에 따라 세 그룹으로 나누었다. 약 60 개의 Pin 단백질은 과산화수소 처리후 20분 이내에 발현이 증가하여 1시간동안 지속적으로 다량 합성되었다. 정체 성장기의 세포에서는 62개의 단백질의 합성이 과산화수소에 의해 증가되었으며, 이 중 21 개의 단백질은 지수성장기의 Pin 단백질과 일치하였다. 과산화수소에 대한 저항성이 증가한 세가지 돌연변이체의 단백질을 지수 성장기에서 추출하여 2 차원 겔 전기영동으로 분석한 결과, 각각의 경우 15, 17, 15개의 Pin 단백질을 야생형보다 항상적으로 다량합성하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이 pin 단백질 중 9개 (D74.7 a, E76.0c, E23.3, F50.7, F47.2a, F25.5, G39.6b, G24.0, H39.6a) 는 두가지 돌연변이체 모두에게 증가되었다. 따라서 이 단백질들은 S. coelicolor 가 과산화수소 스트레스에 대응하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 담당한다고 추정된다.

Proteomics is a useful approach to know protein expression, post-translational modification and protein function. We investigated the protein expression pattern and identity in pigs fed with the tissue culture medium waste after harvest of Korean wild ginseng (TCM-KWG) (Panax ginseng). Two groups (n = 30/group) of pigs were administered with 0 (control) and 16 ml/L (treatment) TCM-KWG through drinking water. After 4 weeks, we examined the protein expression pattern of longissimus dorsi muscle by Two-dimensional electrophoresis analysis. TCM-KWG treatment significantly increased two spot's density, and markedly reduced one spot's density in the muscles. We identified 3 proteins (heat shock protein 90-alpha, myosin binding protein and cofilin 2) by the ESI-MS/MS (Q-TOF2, Micromass). These results demonstrate that TCM-KWG treatment may play a protection role against physiological stress in pigs, like as increased heat shock protein 90-alpha.

Purpose: A flatfoot that fails to form a longitudinal foot arch is a common lower limb deformity in children. This study evaluated the structural and functional effects of the insole for pediatric flexible flat foot (PFFF). Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine PFFF patients (20 boys and 9 girls, 58 feet) with bilateral symptomatic flatfoot deformities between February 2017 and May 2019 were included in this study. Sixteen patients (32 cases, study group) were treated with a pressured based 3-dimensional printing insole, and 13 patients (26 cases, control group) were followed up regularly without any treatment. Flatfoot was diagnosed by a lateral talo-first metatarsal angle of more than 4° in convex downward and talocalcaneal angles of more than 30° and a calcaneal pitch of less than 20°. The foot pressures, including the midfoot pressure, total foot pressure, and the ratio of the midfoot pressure to the total foot pressure, were evaluated by pedobarography. The clinical scores were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and Pediatrics Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) scores. Results: The mean age of the study group was 9.16 years, and the mean age of the control group was 7.73 years. The mean follow-up period was 16 months. The change in the lateral talocalcaneal angle was -4.664°±1.239° in the study group and -0.484°±1.513° in the control group. A significant difference in the amount of change of the lateral talocalcaneal angle was observed between the two groups (p=0.034). The midfoot pressures were similar in the two groups. Conclusion: Pressure based customized 3-dimensional printing insole in PFFF may have some effect on the hindfoot bony alignment, but it does not affect the changes in midfoot pressure.

In this paper, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for gear heat treatment using simultaneous dual frequency (SDF) induction heating is conducted. To do this, thermal-electromagnetic coupled FE model is built. A two dimensional FE model of gear and heater is introduced to reduce computation time. For more time-efficient analysis, harmonic analysis for electromagnetic model is adopted and transient analysis model, for heat transfer model. Through the coupled analysis, it can be found that the proposed FE model can solve for SDF induction heating of gear and heat treatment parameters can also be determined.

The computational efficiency of flow simulations with Multi-resolution analysis (MRA) was enhanced via the boundary treatment of the computational domain. In MRA, an adaptive dataset to a solution is constructed through data decomposition with interpolating polynomial and thresholding. During the decomposition process, the basis points of interpolation should exceed the boundary of the computational domain. In order to resolve this problem, the weight coefficients of interpolating polynomial were adjusted near the boundaries. By this boundary treatment, the computational efficiency of MRA was enhanced while the numerical accuracy of a solution was unchanged. This modified MRA was applied to two-dimensional steady Euler equations and the enhancement of computational efficiency and the maintenance of numerical accuracy were assessed.
