Stenosis of central vein is a common complication arising after percutaneous subclavian vein catheter insertion performed for temporary vascular access in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. There are several treatment methods for the condition like percutaneous angioplasty(PTA), stent insertion, and surgery, but recent trend is toward PTA and stents. Among the patients diagnosed with chronic renal failure from March 1993 to May 2002 and undergoing hemodialysis through AV fistula, the 14 Patients in whom central vein stenosis arose were selected for the study. A total of 28 percutaneous interventions(5 PTA and 23 stent placement) were performed, and restenosis rate and the time taken till the restenosis in de novo lesions and instant lesions were compared. All 28 cases were operated successfully. The 14 cases that received both anigioplasty and stent placement initially. (de novo lesion : 14 cases), Among the 10 cases with de novo lesion that followed up more than 1 year, 3 cases are currently undergoing hemodialysis without restenosis, and the remaining 7 cases have recurred stenosis with the mean time to restenosis of 10.9 months. In the 7 cases in whom stenosis recurred, 11 interventions were done(instent lesion: 11 cases). 4 of these were using only ballon angioplasty with 100% restenosis rate and the mean time of 3 months until restenosis. The remaining 7 cases were using both balloon angioplasty and stent placement, also with 100% restenosis rate but with the mean time of 12 months until restenosis, which was later than the group receiving only balloon angioplasty. In treating the patients with central vein stenosis, stent placement seems to be more advantageous over PTA in terms of restenosis rate and the mean duration of patency. In the case of instent lesion, inserting the stent for the second time after stenosis recurred lengthened the duration of patency compared to performing balloon angioplasty alone.

This study was conducted to evaluate the validity of lactational performance parameters according to the periods of measurement. The subjects enrolled were 10 breast-fed and 20 formula-fed infants. Ingested volumes of milk per day and per feeding and feeding frequency per day of the infants were measured for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively at 1, 2 and 3 months age. For breast-fed infants, ingested volume of milk was estimated by test-weighing method and that for formula-fed infants was tested by direct measurement method. There were no significant differences among the values of ingested milk volume per day and per feeding obtained by 24-, 48- and 72-hour measurement at all 1, 2 and 3 months age in breast-fed as well as formula-fed infants. Also, there were no significant differences among the data of feeding frequency per day obtained by 3 different periods of measurement except for the data estimated in breast-fed infants at 3 months age. The results of this study indicate that the values of lactational performance parameters obtained for 24-hour measurement are valid.

Bone remodeling in response to force requires coordinated actions of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and periodontal ligament cells. Coordination among these cells may be mediated, in part, by cell-to-cell communication via gap junctions. This study was designed to evaluate the expression of gap junction, connection 43 in periodontal tissue during the experimental movement of rat's incisors, by LSAB(labelled streptavidine biotin) immunohistochemical staining for connexin 43. Twently seven Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a control group(3 rats), and 6 experimental group(24 rats) where 75g of force was applied from helical springs across the maxillary incisors. Rats of experimental group were sacrificed at 12 hours, 1, 4, 7, 14 and 28 days after force application, respectively. And the tissues of a control group and experimental groups were studied immunohistochemically. The results were as follows: 1. In control group, the expression of connexin 43 was rare in gingiva, dentin, cementum, periodontal ligament, and bone cells. 2. In experimental group, the expression of connexin 43 was increased in pulp, periodontal ligament, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts, comparing to that in control. And it was rare in gingiva, dentin, and odontoblasts regardless of the duration of force application, which was not different form that of control group. 3. The expression of connexin 43 in pulp of experimental group began to increase in 4-day after force application and got to the highest degree at 7-day. And it decreased after 14-day to be similar to that of control group at 28-day. 4. The expression of connexin 43 in periodontal ligament was noted in small capillaries adjacent to alveolar bone, showing higher intensity of immunolabelling after 4-day. And it was stronger in the pressure side than in tension side of periodontal ligament. After 7-day, decrease in connexin 43 expression was observed. 5. The expression of connexin 43 in alveolar bone began to increase 1-day, reached to the highest degree at 4-day, and decreased at 7-day. And the expression in osteoclasts was more than that in osteoblasts or osteocyte at 7-day.

Lim,Jung-Dae,Seo,Jeong-Sik,Lee,Hyeon-Yong,Kim,Jong-Dai,Lee,Jin-Ha,Yu,Chang-Yeon 한국자원식물학회 2004 Plant Resources Vol.7 No.1

Root chicory (Cichorium intybus L. var. sativus) is potential alternative medicinal and sugar crop which accumulates a high amount of linear polyfructan, inulin in its roots. A problem in root production is that over-wintered stock plants often flower. Once the plant becomes reproductive, stem elongation and root growth slows and floral buds arise from every node, rendering the plants useless for propagation. The objectives of this research was to examine the effectiveness of manipulating environmental factors containing photoperiod, temperature and number of leaf states. The experiment was performed in growth chamber to create two photoperiods (8 h, and 16 h) with three temperature regimes (5℃/3℃, 10℃/8℃, and 15℃/13℃ day/night temperature) for a total of six treatments on three type of true-leaf stage of plant. Data of bolting rate, shoot and root length, shoot and fresh weight was invetigated in each treatments. This is the first report on changes in bolting rate and shoots and roots production during a whole growing season and differences in the effect of cold and photoperiod treatment depending on the true-leaf stage of plant.

임종철,김현정 부산교육대학교 교육대학원 2004 논문집 Vol.6 No.-

이 연구에서는 초등학교장의 변혁적 지도성과 교사 효능감과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 문헌연구를 통해 지도성의 개념과 변천과정 학교장의 변혁적 지도성 이론, 교사 효능감에 대한 이론을 살펴 보았으며, 이러한 배경 이론에 근거하여 학교장의 변혁적 지도성의 하위요인으로 결속촉진, 카리스마, 지적인 자극, 개별적 관심을, 교사 효능감의 하위요인으로 자신감, 자기조절 효능감, 과제난이도 선호를 파악하였다. 그리고 선행연구를 통해서 두 변인의 관계를 고찰해 보았다. 문헌연구를 토대로 연구문제를 해결하기 위하여 부산시내 36개 초등학교 교사를 대상으로 학교장의 변혁적 지도성 및 교사 효능감 질문지로 측정하여 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 교사가 인식한 학교장의 변혁적 지도성 수준은 보통 수준 이상(M=3.30)으로 나타났으며, 하위요인별로는 다른 요인에 비해 지적인 자극을 많이 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 교사의 교사 효능감 수준도 보통 수준 이상(M=3.29)으로 나타났으며 하위요인별로는 다른 요인에 비해 자기조절 효능감을 보다 많이 지각하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 학교장의 변혁적 지도성과 교사 효능감의 상관관계는 r=.294(p<.001)로 유의한 상관이 있기는 하나 얕은 것으로 나타났으며, 하위요인간의 상관관계에서는 학교장의 변혁적 지도성의 하위요인인 결속촉진, 카리스마, 지적인 자극, 개별적 배려가 교사 효능감의 하위요인인 자기조절 효능감과 유의한 상관이 있기는 하나 얕고, 자신감, 과제난이도 선호와는 상관이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between the elementary school principals' transformational leadership and the teacher efficacy. To achieve this goal, several research problems were established as follows: First, what is the elementary school principals' transformational leadership (contribution to cohesion, charisma, intellectual stimulation and individual concern)? Second, what is the teacher efficacy(confidence, self-control and preference for task difficulty)? Third, what is the relationship between the elementary school principals' transformational leadership and the teacher efficacy? To solve these problems, both the literature research and questionnaire surveys were used in this study. Through the literature research, the concept of leadership and the process of its change was examined, and theory of the school principals' transformational leadership and its background of formation, the concept and the specific character of the transformational leadership, the primary factors and the effects of the transformational leadership were examined. And then it's attempted to find out contribution to cohesion, charisma, intellectual stimulation and concern for individual teachers, which were subordinate factors of principal transformational leadership. Concerning the teacher efficacy, self-efficacy, the concept of the teacher efficacy, the features of teachers with good the teacher efficacy and the elements of the teacher efficacy were examined. As for the teacher efficacy subordinate factors, teacher confidence, self-control efficacy and preference for task difficulty were investigated. Finally, earlier studies were reviewed to identify the relationship of the two factors. Based on the results of literature research and to solve the research problems, 36 elementary schools and 524 teachers of the schools in Busan Metropolitan City were selected randomly. The instruments used in this study were Gweon In-tak's transformational leadership questionnaire and Lee Hyeon-jeong's the teacher efficacy questionnaire. As for reliability, the former's Cronbach α coefficient was .98, and the latter's was .85. The collected data were analyzed with SPSSWIN Ver 10.07 program. The statistical data on mean and standard deviation were obtained, and t-test and F-test were conducted. In case there was any intergroup gap, Scheffe´ test was implemented as post-test, and the correlation between the two factors was measured by calculating Pearson'r. The findings of this study were as follows: First, the teachers considered their principals' transformational leadership to be on the average(M=3.30). By subordinate factors, intellectual stimulation were rated better than the others. Second, as for the impact of their background variables on their perception of principal transformational leadership, the principals were thought to exercise more transformational leadership by those who were lead teachers, had more than career of 20 years, in their 40s and worked at the schools of C and D grade. And they felt that the female principals displayed transformational leadership more than the male principals did. Third, the teacher efficacy is to be on the average (M=3.29). By subordinate factors, they put higher value on self-control efficacy than on the other factors. Fourth, as for the impact of their background variables on their the teacher efficacy, those who were male, lead teachers, had more than career of 20 years, in their 40s, and whose principals were male, viewed the teacher efficacy more favorably. Fifth, there was significant but weak correlation between the transformational leadership of their principals and their self-efficacy (r=.294, p<.001). By subordinate factors, contribution to cohesion, charisma, intellectual stimulation and individual concern had significant yet weak correlation to self-control efficacy, and they were scarcely correlated to confidence and preference for task difficulty. Based on the above-mentioned findings, the following conclusion was reached: First, how principals could be encouraged to exert more transformational leadership should be studied, and a variety of programs should be prepared to boost the transformational leadership of male principals. Second, in which way the teacher efficacy could improve should be considered. Especially, it's necessary to instill more confidence in teachers and urge them to make a challenge to difficult tasks. Third, as principal transformational leadership had weak yet significant correlation to the teacher efficacy, the former factor can predict the latter to some extent. Fourth, since questionnaire method was utilized in this study, future research should make a qualitative approach by using ethnography

본 연구의 목적은 근관치료 된 치아를 구조와 물성이 다른 post와 core 그리고 전장관으로 수복한 후 과도한 교합하중을 가했을 때 치아에 나타나는 응력분포를 조사하기 위함이다. 발치 된 상악 제2소구치를 micro-CT로 단층촬영하고 3D Doctor로 윤곽선을 추출한 다음 HyperMesh Ver. 6으로 삼차원 치아모형을 만들고 다음과 같은 세 가지 방볍으로 수복한 유한요소모형을 제작하였다. 1) 스테인레스 스틸 포스트와 복합레진 코어 그리고 도재소부전장금관으로 수복한 모형 2) fiber 포스트와 복합레전 코어 그리고 전부도재관으로 수복한 모형 . 3)포스트, 코어와 전장관이 일체형인 간접복합레진 EndoCrown으로 수복한 모형. 형성된 모형의 협측 또는 설측교두에 500N의 하중을 가하였으며 하중의 방향은 치아 장축에 대해 45도 이었다. 치관부와 치근부의 von Mises 응력을 ANSYS 9.0 프로그램으로 분석한 결과 포스트와 코어의 형태보다는 전장관 재료의 탄성계수가 근관치료된 상악 소구치의 응력분포를 좌우하였다. 치관부에서는 재료의 탄성계수가 높은 전장관으로 수복한 모형이 낮은 응력분포를 보였다. 치근부에서는 재료의 탄성계수가 낮은 전장관으로 수복한 모형이 낮은 응력분포를 보였다 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of elastic modulus of restorative materials and the number of interfaces of post and core systems on the stress distribution of three differently restored endodontically treatcd maxillary second premolars using 3D FE analysis Model 1, 2 was restored with a stainless steel or glass fiber post and direct composite resin. A PFG or a sintered alumina crown was considered. Model 3 was restored by EndoCrown. An obliquc 500 N was applied on thc buccal (Load A) and palatal (Load B) cusp. The von Mises stresses in the coronal and root structure of each model were analyzed using ANSYS. The elastic modulus of the definitive restorations rather than the type of post and core system was thc primary factor that influenced the stress distribution of endodontically treated maxillary premolars. The stress concentration at thc coronal structure could be lowered through the use of definitive restoration of high elastic modulus The stress concentration at the root structure could be lowered through the use of definitive restoration of low elastic modulus.

본 연구는 안면비대칭 환자의 악교정수술 시 경조직 이동에 따른 연조직 변화를 정면에서 평가함으로써 정면 얼굴 이미지 시뮬레이션 프로그램 개발에 도움이 되고자 시행되었다. 안면비대칭이 동반된 하악골 수술 예정 환자 45명을 대상으로 정모 두부방사선규격사진과 얼굴사진(photo)을 술전 및 술후에 각각 같은 각도로 촬영한 후, 술전 및 술후의 방사선사진을 이용하여 경조직 계측점의 변화를, 얼굴사진을 이용하여 연조직 계측점의 변화를 수평 및 수직으로 구분하여 각각 측정한 후 경조직 변화에 따른 연조직 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 연조직 변화와 경조직 변화의 상관성을 살펴본 결과 수평 방향, 수직 방향 모두에서 전반적으로 낮은 상관성을 보였으며, 1:1 mean ratio 산출을 위하여 서로 상관성이 가장 높은 경조직 계측점을 연조직 계측점별로 선택한 결과 직하방에 있는 경조직보다는 다소 멀리 떨어져 있는 경조직 계측점이 선택되는 경우가 많이 나타났다. 경조직 변화를 이용하여 연조직 변화를 예측할 수 있는 회귀방정식을 연조직 계측점별로 산출한 결과 연조직 수평변화 예측에 경조직 수직변화도 사용되고 연조직 수직변화 예측에 경조직 수평변화도 사용되었으며, 수평과 수직변화 모두에서 가장 설명력이 높은 방정식은 연조직 menton에서 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 하부 경조직 계측점과 상부 연조직 계측점의 비율을 이용하는 1:1 mean ratio방법은 불가능한 것으로 나타난 반면 회귀분석을 이용한 연조직 변화 예측은 임상에 도움이 될 수 있는 것으로 나타나 정면 이미지의 경우 컴퓨터를 이용한 시뮬레이션 프로그램이 반드시 필요함을 시사하였다. Objective: To aid the development of a frontal image simulating program, we evaluated the soft tissue frontal changes in relationship to movement of hard tissue with orthognathic surgery of facial asymmetry patients. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative frontal cephalograms and frontal view photographs of 45 mandibular surgery patients with facial asymmetry were obtained in a standardized manner. Vertical and horizontal changes of hard tissue and soft tissue were measured from cephalograms and photographs, respectively. Soft tissue change in result to hard tissue change was then analyzed. Results: Both vertical and horizontal correlation analysis showed a weak relationship between the changes. Hard tissue points that were picked for 1:1 mean ratio with soft tissue points did not show any significant relevance. For each soft tissue change, regressive equation was formulated by stepwise multiple regression analysis, and the equation for soft tissue Menton was most reliable in predicting changes. Both vertical and horizontal hard tissue changes were used together in prediction of vertical or horizontal soft tissue change. Conclusions: The results suggest that computerized image simulation using regression analysis may be of help for prediction of soft tissue change, while 1:1 mean ratio method is not useful.

정모두부방사선사진에서 하악골 우각부 영상확대 및 이의 보정에 관한 3차원 CT영상 연구

황현식,,은춘선,황정현,임회정 대한치과교정학회 2005 대한치과교정학회지 Vol.35 No.4

두부방사선규격사진은 작은 크기의 방사선원에서 방사상으로 방사선이 퍼져나감으로써 피사체의 확대와 왜곡이 불가피하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 두 장의 방사선사진을 서로 직각으로 촬영한 후 방사선의 기하학적 성질을 이용하여 좌우 우각부간 폭경을 계산할 경우 실제 폭경의 산출이 가능한지 알아보고자 시행되었다. 성인 40명을 연구대상으로 하여 두부자세재현기를 이용하여 측모두부방사선사진과 정모두부방사선사진을 서로 직각으로 촬영한 후 측모사진과 정모사진에서의 확대율을 이용하여 실제 우각부 폭경을 산출한 다음, 계측치 및 산출치를 3차원 CT영상에서의 계측치와 각각 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 정모두부방사선사진에서 우각부 폭경은, 작게는 7.92 mm 크게는 11.31 mm까지. 평균 9.10 mm의 확대를 보였다. 측모 및 정모두부방사선사진을 이용하여 얻은 우각부 폭경 보정치를 3차원 CT영상에서 얻은 기준치와 비교한 결과 평균 0.14 mm의 작은 오차를 보였으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 측모 및 정모두부방사선사진 촬영 시 두부자세재현기를 이용하여 서로 직각으로 촬영할 경우 실제 우각부 폭경을 계산을 통해 산출할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 한편 이부편위량과 보정오차는 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 보이지 않아 안면비대칭이 심한 경우에도 본 보정 방법이 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. Enlargement is an inherent property of X-rays which occurs when straight lines diverge from small a focal spot. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the valldity of the correction of gonial angle width enlarged on frontal cephalogram, using frontal and lateral cephalograms taken orthogonally from each other. In 40 adult individuals, frontal and lateral cephalograms were taken at a 90℃ angle using the Head Posture Aligner. The angle width was measured on the frontal cephalogram and subsequently, the corrected angle width was calculated using the magnification rate of two cephalograms. Measured and corrected angle widths were compared with the measurement from the 3D CT image. The measurement on the frontal cephalogram showed a 9.10 mm of enlargement on average, ranging from 7.92 to 11.31 mm. Corrected angle width measurement showed a 0.14 mm difference with the 3D CT image measurement, which was not statistically significant. The results of the study indicate that actual angle width can be approached through calculation using frontal and lateral cephalograms taken orthogonally with the help of the Head Posture Aligner. The study also showed that the magnitude of correction error did not show a significant correlation with the amount of menton deviation, and it suggests that the present correction method is valid even in individuals with severe facial asymmetry.
