Purpose: The Le Fort I osteotomy is a commonly performed maxillary procedure for dentofacial deformity. One of the risks of this procedure is major hemorrhage resulting from injury to the descending palatine artery. So it is very important to know the exact position of the descending platine artery. An increased understanding of the position of this artery can minimize the intra-operative bleeding while allowing extension of the bone cuts to achieve exact positioning maxilla. The aim of this investigation was to study the position of the descending palatine artery as it relates to the Le Fort I osteotomy. Methods and patients: Total 40 patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy in SNUDH OMFS were studied in this study. We measured the distance from the pyriform aperture to the descending palatine artery (DPA distance) using a ruler. We investigated the relationship between DPA distance, the distance from A point to the McNamara line on lateral cephalography and the patient's body height. Results: The average distances from the pyriform rim to the descending palatine artery were 35.3 mm on the right (range: $30{\sim}40mm$) and 33.7mm (range: $30{\sim}41mm$) on the left in males. Those in females were 33.4 mm on the right (range: $28{\sim}40mm)$ and 32.8mm (range: $27{\sim}38mm$) on the left. The significances between the distance the DPA distance, the body height and the distance from A point to McNamara line were not found. Conclusion: Injury to the descending palatine artery during Le Fort I osteotomy can be minimized by not extending the osteotomy more than 30 mm posterior to the pyriform aperture in mal, and 27 mm in female.

Prediction of the sop tissue changes following hard tissue movements is very important in the preoperative analysis of surgical changes of the patient who have orthognathic surgery. This study examined post operative changes of the mid-facial sop tissues in Koreans depending upon two major positional changes of the maxilla following Le Fort - I type osteotomy for orthognathic purposes. Sixty patients(41 males and 19 females) of Koreans were selected and divided into two groups according to directional change of movement of anterior bony structures of the Maxilla as follows : Group I (44 patients) was mooed anteriorly and/or inferiorly, and Group II (16 patients) was mooed posteriorly and/or superioly. Postoperative changes of the sop tissue measurements following hard tissue changes were examined on pre - and post - operative cephalometrics by means of computerized digitation methods and the ratios of changes were analysed. The results were obtained as follows : 1. In Group I, all of the sop tissue measures except the Pn was closely followed by the changes of the hard tissue measures in the horizontal plane, but the Sn and the Cm were only correlated to the vertical changes(p<0.001). In group II, all of the sop tissue measures excluding of the N' and the Pn were significantly correlated to the hard tissue measures in horizontal plane(p<0.001), but the Ls and Stm were only correlated relatively to the vertical changes of the ANS(p<0.01). 2. Predictable ratio of the Sn was 66% of the ANS or 56% of the A in the horizontal plane and 89% of the A in the vertical plane in Group I. In Group II, the Sn was predictable as 85% of the ANS or 70% of the A in the horizontal plane but was not predictable in vertical plane. 3. Predictable ratio of the Cm was 28% of the ANS or 50% of the A in the horizontal plane and 56% of the ANS or 36% of the A in the vertical plane in Group I. In Group II, the Cm was predictable horizontally as 74% of the A. Predictable ratio of the Pn was 30% of the ANS or 38% of the A in horizontal plane in Group I, but it was not predictable both horizontally and vertically in Group II. 4. Predictable ratio of the Ls was 52% of the Pr in Group I and 77% in Group II in the horizontal plane. The Stm was predictable as 34% of the pr or 22% of the I in the horizontal plane in Group I, and was also predictable as 55% of the pr or 68% of the I horizontally and 21% of the pr or 65% of the I vertically in Group II. 5. All ratios of change in the thickness. length and area of the upper lip following maxillary movement were statiscally correlated, however, mangitudes of them were meaningful clinically.

Purpose: The ischial area is by far the most common site of pressure sores found in wheel chair bound paraplegic patients, because greatest pressure is exerted from the body on this area in a sitting position. Even after a series of successful pressure sore treatments, the site is very prone to relapse by the simplest ordinary tasks of everyday life. Therefore, it is crucial to preserve the main pedicle during primary surgery. Various surgical procedures employed to treat pressure sores such as myocutaneous flap and perforator flap have been introduced. After introduction of ischial sore treatment using the inferior gluteal artery perforator (IGAP) has been made, the authors experienced favorable clinical results of patients who have undergone IGAP flap procedure in a three year time period. Methods: A total of 17 patients received IGAP flap surgery in our hospital from January 2003 to May 2006, among which 14 of them being males and 3 females. Surgery was performed on the same site again in 6(35%) patients who had originally relapsed after receiving the conventional method of pressure sore surgery. Patients' average age was 49.4(27-71) years old. Most of the patients were paraplegic(11 cases, 65%) and others were either quadriplegic(4 cases, 23%) or ambulatory(2 cases, 12%). Based on hospital records and clinical photographs, we have attempted to assess the feasibility and practicability of the IGAP flap procedure through comparative analysis of several parameters: size of defective area, treatment modalities, occurrence of relapses, complications, and postoperative treatments. Results: The average follow-up duration of 17 subjects was 25.4 months(5-42 months). All flaps survived without any necrosis. Six cases were relapsed cases from conventional surgical procedures. All of them healed well during our follow-up study. Postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence and fistula developed in some subjects, but all were well healed through secondary treatment. A total of 2 cases relapsed after surgery. Conclusion: The inferior gluteal artery perforator flap is an effective method that can be primarily applied in replacement to the conventional ischial pressure sore reconstructive surgery owing to its many advantages: ability to preserve peripheral muscle tissue, numerous possible flap designs, relatively good durability, and the low donor site morbidity rate.

Objectives: As medical history before surgery is often based on patient reporting, there is the possibility that patients intentionally hide underlying diseases or that dentists cannot recognize abnormal health states. Therefore, more professional and reliable treatment processes are needed under the Korean dental specialist system. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the necessity of a preoperative blood testing routine prior to office-based surgery under local anesthesia. Patients and Methods: Preoperative blood lab data for 5,022 patients from January 2018 to December 2019 were assembled. Study participants were those who underwent extraction or implant surgery under local anesthesia at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Preoperative blood tests included complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry, serum electrolyte, serology, and blood coagulation data. Values outside of the normal range were considered an "abnormality," and the percentage of abnormalities among the total number of patients was calculated. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of underlying disease. The rates of abnormalities in the blood tests were compared between groups. Chi-square tests were performed to compare data from the two groups, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The percentages of males and females in the study were 48.0% and 52.0%, respectively. Of all patients, 17.0% (Group B) reported known systemic disease, while 83.0% (Group A) reported no specific medical history. There were significant differences between Groups A and B in CBC, coagulation panel, electrolytes, and chemistry panel (P<0.05). In Group A, the results of blood tests that required a change in procedure were identified even though the proportion was very small. Conclusion: Preoperative blood tests for office-based surgery can detect underlying medical conditions that are difficult to identify from patient history alone and can prevent unexpected sequelae. In addition, such tests can result in a more professional treatment process and build patient confidence in the dentist.

난대림에 서식하는 노루(Capreolus pygargus)의 생태 연구 일환으로 제주도에 위치한 국립산림과학원 난대·아열대산림연구소 제주시험림에서 실시하였다. 노루의 행동권과 서식환경을 파악하기 위해 2012년 4월 24일부터 수컷 3마리, 암컷 3마리의 노루를 포획한 후 GPS-CDMA 기반 추적기를 목에 부착하여 방사하였다. 암컷 중 2마리는 임신한 상태였으며 서귀포시 남원읍 한남리에 위치한 시험림에서 포획 및 관찰하였다. 암노루의 위치 추적을 통해 출산 전에는 불규칙인 이동이 관찰되다가 출산 후 일정한 지점으로 되돌아오는 규칙성을 보인다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 행동권 분석은 ESRI ArcView GIS 3.2a의 MCP(minimum convex polygon)와 Kernel Method를 사용하였다. 5월 9일에 포획한 암노루는 MCP=67ha, Kernel 95%=0.5ha이고 7월 12일에 포획한 암노루는 MCP=82ha, Kernel 95%=0.9ha로 확인되었다. 행동권 면적 변화를 살펴보면, 출산직후 새끼노루와 암노루는 위험노출을 줄이기 위해 타 동물들처럼 즉시 이동할 수 있음에도 대단히 좁은 지역에서 한동안 머물다 시간이 경과함에 따라 점차 행동권을 점차 넓혀가는 경향을 보였다. 암노루는 사람출입이 잦은 탐방로의 반대방향으로 주로 이동하였다. 암노루가 출산한 지역은 40년생 삼나무가 식재된 인공림으로 2010년 숲가꾸기를 통해 삼나무를 제외한 하층식생이 제거되었다가 현재는 먹이자원이 되는 새로운 관목이 우거진 곳이었다. 이러한 결과는 산림시업이 노루의 출산과 어린새끼의 생존에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 의미이다. 난대림에서 암노루의 출산 시기는 제주도 내 높은 고도에서보다 다소 빨랐으며 행동권 면적은 다른 국가의 선행연구에 비해 좁게 나타났고 새끼를 숨기는 은신처의 서식환경은 다른 나라에서 연구된 보고와 비슷하였다.

Objectives : This cross-sectional study was performed to examine if the serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level that is within its normal range is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes and if the association between the waist hip ratio (WHR) and type 2 diabetes is different depending on the serum GGT levels. Methods : The study subjects were 23,436 persons aged 40 years or older and who participated in regular health check-ups at 11 hospitals (males: 5,821, females: 17,615). The gender-specific quintiles of the serum GGT and WHR were used to examine the associations with type 2 diabetes. Results : The serum GGT levels within their normal range were positively associated with type 2 diabetes only in women. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1.0, 1.0, 1.4, 2.1, and 2.5 according to the quintiles of the serum GGT ($p_{trend}$<0.01). The WHR was more strongly associated with the prevalence of diabetes among the women with a high-normal serum GGT level as compared with those with a low-normal serum GGT level (p for interaction=0.02). For example, the adjusted ORs for women with a low normal serum GGT level were 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.2, and 2.4 according to the quintiles of the WHR, while those figures were 1.0, 2.4, 3.6, 5.0, and 8.3 among the women with a high normal serum GGT level. However, in men, the serum GGT was very weakly associated with type 2 diabetes and the association between the WHR and type 2 diabetes was not different depending on the serum GGT level. Conclusions : Serum GGT within its normal range was positively associated with type 2 diabetes, and central obesity was more strongly associated with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes when the serum GGT level was highnormal. However, these associations were observed only in women, which is different from the previous findings. The stronger relation between central obesity and type 2 diabetes among women with a high-normal serum GGT level can be useful for selecting a group that is at high risk for type 2 diabetes irregardless of whatever the underlying mechanism is.
