The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of tooth brushing patterns before and after education with a newly invented toothbrush. All participants performed toothbrushing on left lower first molar teeth for 10 seconds, using Modified bass method with the Newly invented toothbrush before education. After recording the brushing pattern, the participants were randomly classified into 1) Tell, 2) Tell-Show and 3) Tell-Show-Do group. After their education, toothbrushing patterns were recorded again. A comparative statistical analysis with a professional group was done by a one sample t-test. Each motion of toothbrushing was represented by Roll, Pitch and Yaw directions and pressure. After toothbrushing education, the Pitch, Roll direction and the value of pressure in all groups showed significantly similarity to the professional group. The Yaw direction appears to be improved after education, but the delineated motion was not considered to represent the Modified bass method. The patterns of each group were similar to the professional group as follows; Tell < Tell-Show < Tell-Show-Do. There was general evidence of higher educational effects by telling, monitoring and practical training. Finally, toothbrushing patterns were able to be analyzed by the Newly invented toothbrush correctly and quickly. This will contribute to the establishment of correct toothbrushing habits through public use.

Heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury are a highly toxic metal that affects a variety of cellular events, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and survival in animals as well as in human. The exposed heavy metals significantly affected the development and health in pubertal period. However, it is not clear how the toxicity of heavy metals in pubertal affects comparing in adults. To determine the effects of heavy metals on pubertal and adults, heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury were exposed to in pubertal and adults mice for 48 and 72h. Results showed that mice exposed to heavy metals for several hours induced overall tissue and organ damage. Especially, blood vessels of the most organ were more increased in adult mice compared to pubertal mice. And for morphologic alteration, secretary organs such as salivary gland and kidney were affected the most. Taken together, exposing to heavy metal in mice altered the blood vessels. In addition, the adverse effects of cadmium and mercury were more severe in adult mouse than puberty mouse. Further study is needed to focus on endothelial cells for more precise its mechanism

본 연구에서는 240 W급 고출력 LED 집어등의 특성을 기존 메탈 집어등과 비교하여 배광 패턴의 특성 및 광효율을 분석하고, 파장 대역의 특성을 해양 투과 특성 및 시감도를 고려하여 집어등 광원으로써 적정성을 분석하였다. 색온도 6500 K, white LED 패키지를 적용한 240 W LED 집어등의 특성을 보면 배광각은 ±45°, 조도 변화률이 0.8로 개선되었으며, 광효율은 98.8 lm/W로 향상되었다. LED 집어등의 해수의 투과율과 인간의 암순응시 시감도를 1,500 W 메탈등 1개와 4개의 240 W LED 집어등에 적용하여 비교한 결과, 방사출력이 수심 50 m에 이르면 거의 동등하였으며, 암순응시 시감도만을 적용한 경우에도 LED 집어등이 약 5 % 정도 높은 광속을 나타내었으며, 수심 50 m의 방사출력에 암순응시 시감도를 적용한 경우 LED 집어등의 광속이 14 % 높게 나타나 메탈등의 대체 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 시험은 육성기 흑염소에 있어서 조사료원이 볏짚 위 주일 때, 농후사료 급여 수준이 발육, 사료이용성 및 경제 성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 실시하였다. 육성기 암 컷 흑염소 40두를 공시하여 농후사료 급여수준을 체중의 1.5% (T1), 1.8% (T2), 2.1% (T3) 및 자유채식구(T4)로 나누 어 급여 하였고 조사료원은 볏짚을 자유채식 하도록 하였 다. 그 결과, 일당 증체량은 T1 (1.5%), T2 (1.8%), T3 (2.1%) 및 T4(자유채식)구가 각각 50.23, 60.37, 71.46 및 98.90 g으로 농후사료의 급여 수준이 높아질수록 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 조사료인 볏짚의 사료 섭취량은 농후사 료 급여수준이 증가 할수록 유의적으로 감소하는 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 경제성 분석에 있어서 육성기 흑염소 경영 비는 농후사료를 1.5%, 1.8%, 2.1% 및 자유 채식하였을 때 각각 46,704원, 49,998원, 54,701원 및 74,613원으로 농후사 료의 급여수준이 증가할수록 경영비는 증가하였다. 이는 증체량에 있어서 T4(자유채식)구가 가장 많이 증가하였지 만 T3 (2.1%)구보다 사료비에 있어서 두당 19,912원 더 많 이 들었다. 이상의 시험 결과를 종합하여 고려할 때, 육성 기 흑염소에 있어서 조사료 원이 볏짚 단용일 경우에는 농 후사료를 2.1% 수준으로 급여하는 것이 가장 바람직할 것 으로 사료 된다.

The aim of this study was to identify allele variability and frequencies of six microsatellite markers (BM861, INRA124, INRA189, UMN0103, UMN0307 and UMN0504) specific to the Y-chromosome. DNA samples from 147 males of three Korean native and seven exotic cattle breeds were tested. Three (Chikso, Heugu, and Jeju black cattle) Korean native cattle (KNC) breeds showed Bos taurus genotype. In the neighbor-joining tree, based on Nei’s DA genetic distance, ten breeds represented main group. In addition, Bayesian clustering result showed that 3 main clusters are for individual allele variability and frequencies. Moreover, KNC breeds showed differences in genotype with B. taurus type when compared to previous studies. The molecular information of paternal lineage in this study would be useful for the conservation and utilization of three KNC breeds as genetic resources.

We present a case of lipogranuloma of the chin in a 17-year-old man. The lesion was revealed as lipogranuloma in radiological and histopathological findings and did not recur after being surgically removed. Lipogranuloma is a granulomatous inflammation with marked sclerosing response to the fatty tissue caused by foreign material injection. Despite lipogranuloma was reported as a complication arising from injection of oil-based substances into soft tissues for the purpose of cosmetic therapy, patient in this case had no history of foreign material injection. We expect that patient had a history of traumatic injury on his right chin that he doesn’t remember. Definitive treatment of lipogranuloma is surgical excision and usually involves secondary reconstruction. Regarding the physical and psychological complications of this practice, prevention is required the most but once occurred accurate history taking and biopsy is important to diagnosis

Toxic heavy metals like mercury and cadmium are known to involve in altering the salivary flow so that can be appeared sialorrhea or ptyalism, the condition of increased salivary flow, or xerostomia (“dry mouth”), the condition related to inhibited or decreased salivary flow. Although many people were exposed to these heavy metal in work environment, dental clinics, the mechanism is rarely discussed in the clinical literature. The present study is to carried out analysis of AQP5 expression that play a key role in saliva fluid secretion and cell membrane water permeability on mercury- or cadmium-exposed mice submandibular gland. To investigate AQP 5 expression, immunohistochemical study and western blot assay were carried out on mercury- or cadmium-exposed mice. Additionally, RT-PCR, real- time PCR with specific primers were carried out. Cadmium or mercury exposure led ductal extension, ductal cell increase, and blood vessel increase in mouse submandibular gland. The mRNA and protein expression of AQP5 were increased in time dependent manners on cadmium or mercury exposed mouse. Also, AQP5 were translocated from basolateral membrane to apical membrane of acini cell. In conclusion, toxic heavy metal such as mercury and cadmium appear to alter the AQP5 expression and distribute to apical membrane of ductal cell and lead to alter salivary secretion.

동해 연안양식장 주변해역의 월별 변화에 따른 수괴의 분포와 생물화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 2012년 짝수 월(2-12월)에 속초, 죽변, 감포 연안의 3개 지점에서 CTD 관측과 함께 용존산소(DO), 클로로필 a(Chl-a), 질산염과 인산염의 N/P 비의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 속초, 죽변 및 감포 해역에 대한 등밀도선 위의 수온(T)-염분(S)도로 수괴를 분석한 결과, 이들 해역은 대마난류 표층수, 대마난류 중층수 및 북한한류수로 나타났다. 이들 수괴에서 수온과 염분의 분포 범위를 보면, 대마난류 표층수는 수온 20-28.3 ℃ 와 염분 31.04-33.75, 대마난류 중층수는 수온 8.1-16.3 ℃ 와 염분 33.00-34.49, 북한한류수는 수온 1.8-9.4 ℃ 와 염분 33.78-34.42를 나타내었다. DO는 동계(12월, 2월)에 남에서 북, 봄철(4월, 6월)과 가을철(10월)에는 상층에서 하층, 하계(8월)는 중층을 중심으로 상하층으로 갈수록 그 농도가 높았다. Chl-a 농도는 동계(2월), 춘계(4월), 추계(10월-12월)에 0.4 μg/L 이하로 낮았고, 6-8월은 다른 월에 비해 고농도가 넓게 분포하였다. 특히, 감포는 8월에 강한 수온과 염분의 약층이 형성된 곳에서 띠 형태로 2 μg/L 이상의 고농도가 분포하였다. N/P 비는 2-6월과 12월은 전반적으로 그 비가 16 이하로 질산염이 영양염의 제한요소로 작용하였고, 8-10월은 그 비가 16 이상으로 연안 부근에서 인산염이 영양염의 제한 요소로 작용한 곳이 많이 나타났다.

동해에서 외양의 해양학적 현상으로 인하여 연안역에서 발생할 수 있는 성층 현상을 이해할 목적으로 2013년 2월 국립수산과학원의 해양조사 정선관측 자료와 함께 연안의 3개 지점(속초, 죽변, 감포)에서 조사한 CTD 자료를 분석하였다. 속초와 감포 연안은 혼합 상태였으며, 죽변 연안은 강항 성층을 이루고 있었다. 또한 해양 정선 조사에서 104선(죽변)의 연안쪽 정점에서도 마찬가지로 107선(속초)과 209선(감포)의 연안쪽 정점에 비해서 성층이 강하게 형성되어 있었다. 104선(죽변)의 정점 9의 깊이 200 m층에서 4 .0 ℃ 의 양의 수온 편차를 보였으며 이것은 연안까지 이어져 양의 수온 편차를 나타내었으며, 10 ℃ 등온선이 깊이 200 m까지 아래로 오목한 형태를 나타내었다. 또한 104선의 정점 9를 중심으로 10 40 cm/s의 속도로 시계 방향의 소용돌이가 형성되어 있었다. 이는 죽변 연안에서 나타난 성층은 울릉 난수성 소용돌이의 접안에 의해서 형성된 것임을 보여주었다. 난수성 소용돌의 변화는 동해에서 대구와 같은 냉수성 어종의 회유에 장애물이 될 수도 있어 수산 자원과의 관련성을 밝히는 것도 필요하리라 생각된다.

A Warthin’s tumor of major salivary glands, in particular of parotid glands, is a common benign tumor that may occur synchronously or metachronously in the same or contralateral gland. Moreover, epithelial malignance associated with a Warthin’s tumor is extremely rare, and exists in three forms; epidermoid carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma. The reports, related with a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in a Warthin’s tumor at the parotid gland were reported only additional 3 cases from 1999 to 2010; 30 cases reported up to 1999.[2,4,7] This case report was a extremely rare case where both a primary squamous cell carcinoma and a Warthin's tumor were coexisting in the same

Squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is a rare benign neoplasm first described by Pullon et al. in 1975. Clinically and histologically, it is confused with ameloblastoma, carcinoma and local periodontoal disease. We report a case of SOT occuring in a 16-year-old female in the right mandibular angle location associated with an impacted molar

We demonstrate optical cross-sectional imaging system implemented with high-resolution interferometry and present oral diagnostic imaging results obtained without any physical sectioning. High-resolution interferometry could be performed with utilizing broadband optical source and employment of beam scanning device to high-resolution interferometer constitutes optical imaging system for non-invasive cross-sectional view at real-time. The optical imaging system is implemented with fiber-optic devices for compactness and optical probe head is realized by using single mode optical fiber and miniaturized actuator, which is properly designed for the application to dental imaging. The basic performance of the optical imaging system, for example, such as resolution, imaging depth, and sensitivity is suggested to prove high-resolution optical imaging performance. Feasibility of the developed optical imaging system performance in the application of dental diagnostic is proved with demonstrating non-invasively obtained cross-sectional images. The imaging quality suggested in the images could be applied to assessment of oral diseases and used for alternative imaging modality to X-ray diagnostic method overcoming disadvantage of low-image resolution. The imaging performance enabling real-time image reconstruction also could be exploited as early oral diagnostic apparatus prior to microscopic observation under H&E staining.
