The result of neutron therapy on head and neck cancer using KCCH -Cyclotron neutron which had been using from October 1986 to September 1989 in the Korea Cancer Center Hospital. Among the total of 27 patients the cases of malignant salivary gland tumor were 14 and the cases of advanced head and neck cancer of AJCC stage IV were 13. The local control rate was 80% in malignant salivary gland tumor and 46.2% in advanced head and neck cancer. The 2 year survival rate was 60% in malignant salivary gland tumor and 38.5% in advanced head and neck cancer. Although there was no significant difference in prognosis according to the pathologic types, squamous cell carcinoma revealed a pattern of poor prognosis. The major complication from the neutron therapy had developed 7.1% in malignant salivary gland tumor and 23.1% in advanced head and neck cancer. In conclusion, neutron therapy is superior in the treatment of malignant salivary gland tumor and also effective in the treatment of advanced head and neck cancer when it can avoid to treat some site of low tolerance.

The child restraint system is blown to be excellent to reduce child occupant injury in frontal collisions. The effects of the child restraint system are experimently investigated according to FMVSS 213. A sled simulator is utilized with varying restraint types such as 2point, 3point seat belts, forward-facing types and booster types of child restraint systems. The head and chest injuries for various cases are evaluated based on industrial standards. Also, the maximum displacements of the head and the knees are measured by film analysis. Using the results of the test, the effects of the child restraint system is discussed and reduction of child occupant injury is pursued.

Certain types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are undoubtedly involved in genesis of human malignancies. HPV plays an etiological role in cervical cancer, but also in many vaginal, vulvar, anal and penile cancers, as well as head and neck cancers. In addition, a number of non-malignant diseases such as genital warts and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis are attributable to HPV. Moreover, HPV forms have detected in several other cancers including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, lung, prostate, ovarian, breast, skin, colorectal and urinary tract cancers, but associations with etiology in these cases is controversial. The aim of this systematic assessment was to estimate the prevalence of HPV infection and HPV types in HPV-associated cancers, HPV-related non-malignant diseases and in cancers that may be associated with HPV in Iran. The present investiagtion covered 61 studies on a variety of cancers in Iranian populations. HPV prevalence was 77.5 % and 32.4% in cervical cancer and head and neck cancers, respectively. HPV was detected in 23.1%, 22.2%, 10.4%, 30.9%, 14% and 25.2% of esophageal squamous cell, lung, prostate, urinary tract cancers, breast and skin cancers, respectively. HPV16 and 18 were the most frequent HPV types in all cancers. The findings of present study imply that current HPV vaccines for cervical cancer may decrease the burden of other cancers if they are really related to HPV.

This thesis was conducted a numerical analysis on the radiant heat performance according to factors of design of heat sink for cooling of the automotive LED head lamp. The heat sinks were designed with 5 different types to fit the limited internal space by formula based on an existing product (Type 1). Designed heat sinks of five types were analyzed by ANSYS CFD V12.1, and the analysis results were compared with the existing type. The results of simulation were analyzed temperature distribution and average temperature, air flow characteristic, heat flux etc. This thesis was researched on the correlation of the cooling performance according to the heat sink structure and the fin shape. Through numerical analysis, could be confirmed heat sink Type 2 as the best results.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a sarcoma that occurs principally in soft tissue and typically involved the skeletal muscle and deep fascia. Although it is one of the most common types of soft tissue sarcoma in late adult life, the involvement of the head and neck area is relatively rare. MFH shows variable histologic appearance, and may be classified into several subtypes(storiform-pleomorphic, myxoid, giant cell, inflammatory, angiomatoid) and the storiform-pleomorphic type is the most common type. The authors have recently experienced a case of MFH in the right maxillary sinus, and report it with a brief review of the related literature.

Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in adipocytes, accounting for 5% of all sarcomas. Generally, it has no symptoms and it occurs in any parts of the body. There are various types of liposarcoma. Of these, 40-45% are known as highly differentiated liposarcoma, and highly differentiated liposarcoma is also referred to as atypical lipomatous tumor. We report a case of an atypical lipomatous tumor on the left neck.

Despite improved treatment outcomes of locally advanced disease over the last 2 decades, the survival of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains dismal. There is a clear need for development of novel therapeutic strategies for recurrent and/or metastatic HNSCC. Recent advances in understanding tumor immunology have been directly and rapidly translated into clinical success of T cell-directed immunotherapeutic approach in the treatment of several types of solid cancers. Among them, impact of immune checkpoint inhibition using neutralizing antibodies is the most striking. A variety of immunotherapeutic strategies targeting T cells have been also studied in HNSCC, especially in recurrent and/or metastatic setting even with significant survival benefit. The present article reviews the basic concept of T cell-directed immunotherapy and the current status of such approaches in the treatment of HNSCC.

There are various types of malignancy in eyelid, such as squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and sarcoma. These malignant tumors have potential of metastasis by regional lymph node drainage. The lymph node around parotid gland has been known as a common site of regional lymph node metastasis. The rarity of malignant tumors in the periorbital area makes it difficult to determine the optimal extent of treatment. We report a case of parotid metastasis after eyelid cancer operation in a 60-year-old man.

Angiokeratomas represent vascular lesions and are histologically characterized by superficial dermal vascular ectasia with overlying epidermal hyperkeratosis. Angiokeratoma circumscriptum is one of five types in the group of the angiokeratomas. The lesion is present from birth but may appear in childhood or adulthood. Angiokeratoma circumscriptum is typically hyperkeratotic papules or nodules situated unilaterally on the foot or distal aspect of the leg, but can occur elsewhere on the body. Isolated tongue involvement is very rare. We report a 12-year-old boy with angiokeratoma circumscriptum of the posterior dorsal tongue with a review of the literatures.

The objectives of this study were to classify the head shapes of Korean men and to suggest computer tomography as a new body measurement method. The 23 head measurement items of 760 men, aged more than 18 in Sizekorea 2004 database were used to analyze, measured by using statistical methods. Factor analysis, cluster analysis and duncan test were performed using these data. Through factor analysis, 5 factors were extracted upon factor scores and those factors comprised 70.91% for the total variances. The head and face shapes were categorized as 5 types-triangle, round, oval, long, rectangle. We decided for the type 1(triangle) to standard head shape since this type was the most observed. 21 participants were measured using computed tomography(CT). The measured data of skin and skeleton and the standard head shapes were illustrated.
