The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of Ni-Cr-Be alloy(Verabond ~, Aalba Dent Inc. USA) according to electrolyte concentration and etching time. Total of 150 metal specimens (12x 10 X 1.5mm) composed of 5 polisded specimens, 5 sandblasted specimens, 140 etched specimens were prepared. Etched groups were divided into 28 groups by the HC1O4 con= centrations(10, 30, 50, 70%) and etching times(15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 seconds). The mean surface roughness(Ra) and the etching depth were measured with Optical 3-dimensional surface roughness measuring machine(Accura 1500M, Intek Engineering Co., Korea) and observed under SEM. The results obtaind were as follows 1. Surface roughness(Ra) and etching depth were affected by the order of etching time, electrolyte concentration, and their interaction (NO.05) . 2. Surface roughness(Ra) and etching depth were increased with etching time in 10%, 30% electrolyte concentrations, but they had no significant difference with etching time in 70%(P<0.05). 3. Surface roughness(Ra) and etching depth decreased in the order of 30, 10, 50, 70% electrolyte concentrations from 120 seconds etching time(p<0.05). 4. The remarkable morphologic changes in etched surface were observed along the grain boundaries in 15, 30 seconds of 10%, 30% concentrations and the morphologic changes could be denoted in the grains themselves as well as along the boundaries with the lapse of time. Even though the noticeable morphologic changes also took place in etched surface with 50% concentration, the degree of changes were less than that of changes with 10%, 30%. However, there were little morphologic changes with 70% concentration regardless of etching time. 5. Surface roughness(Ra) of sandblasting group with 50um A1203 had no significant difference with 30%-30 seconds etched group(p<0.05).

2.A scanning electron microscopic study on the corrosion resistance of chemically and thermally recycled metal brackets.
Korean Journal of Orthodontics 1989;19(2):85-93
The purpose of this study was to evalute the corrosion resistance of chemically and thermally recycled metal brackets. In vivo, two types of recycled metal brackets and new brackets were directly bonded for 1 year, and then the microstructure of bracket surface was examined by S.E.M. (J.S.M.-840 Scanning Electron Microscope, Japan). The following results were obtained. 1) The microstructure of new and chemically recycled metal bracket surfaces showed regular structure without island formation and recrystallization; and after 1 year, the same appearance except some scratches. 2) The microstructure of thermally recycled metal bracket surfaces showed a beginning of island formation and recrystallization by annealing, and after 1 year, a typical corrosive appearance, completely island formation with some metal grains by recrystallization. 3) Chemically recycled metal brackets showed better corrosion resistance than thermally recycled metal brackets.

The purpose of this study is to investigate which current densities and etching times will result in an optimal etching depth and surface roughness when an Ni-Cr-Be alloy is etched with 30% perchloric acid(HClO4 ). For this study,observations were made by means of an optical three-dimen-sional surface roughness measuring machine and a scanning electron microscope. The etchings took place under the following conditions using current densities of 300mA/cm2, 450mA/cm2, 600mA/cm2 and 750mA/cm2, and using etching time of three, five, six, seven and nine minutes. Under the conditions, the experiments reached the following conclusions. 1. When the current density is above 450mA/cm2 and the etching time is longer than five min-utes, the etching depth increased as the current density and etching time increased. And the surface roughness was significantly influenced by the interaction of the current density and etching time. 2. Under the etching conditions of 600mA/cm2 and five minutes, the optimal etching depth for a resin cement space and the highest surface roughness for mechanical retention were obtained. The etching depth and surface roughness were 32.86 micrometer and 7.90 micrometer, respectively. 3. Observations under the scanning electron microscope showed that both the corrosion at the grain boundary and the corrosion within the grain occurred on the etched surface. It was also observed that the corrosion at the grain boundary became more severe as the current density and etching time increased. In addition, at higher current densities and longer etching times, general corrosion appeared.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the effects of the sintering conditions of dental zirconia on the grain size and translucency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten specimens of each of two commercial brands of zirconia (Lava and KaVo) were made and sintered under five different conditions. Microwave sintering (MS) and conventional sintering (CS) methods were used to fabricate zirconia specimens. The dwelling time was 20 minutes for MS and 20 minutes, 2, 10, and 40 hours for CS. The density and the grain size of the sintered zirconia blocks were measured. Total transmission measurements were taken using a spectrophotometer. Two-way analysis of variance model was used for the analysis and performed at a type-one error rate of 0.05. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in density between brands and sintering conditions. The mean grain size increased according to sintering conditions as follows: MS-20 min, CS-20 min, CS-2 hr, CS-10 hr, and CS-40 hr for both brands. The mean grain size ranged from 347-1,512 nm for Lava and 373-1,481 nm for KaVo. The mean light transmittance values of Lava and KaVo were 28.39-34.48% and 28.09-30.50%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Different sintering conditions resulted in differences in grain size and light transmittance. To obtain more translucent dental zirconia restorations, shorter sintering times should be considered.

Heat treatment which removes internal stress enhances the mechanical properties of the orthodontic arch wire. The main purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of the heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the Elgiloy wire. The Elgiloy wire, 0.016" X 0.022" and 0.018" X 0.025", were heat treated in an electric oven for 5, 10 and 15 minutes at selected temperatures between 300 and 900degreesC. Tensile strength and load deflection rate were measured to reveal the changes of mechanical property at various con?ditions, and each specimen was observed under metallurgic microscope. Also to trace the precipitation material due to overheat treatment, a qualitative analysis was carried out with EDS system. It was found that heat treatment at a low temperature caused an increase in the tensile strength and bending resistance, and a maintenance in the fibrous in the tensile strength and bending resistance, and a maintenance in the fibrous structure of both sizes of wire. The changes observed in properties and appearance were probably due to the relief of internal stresses incurred in the metal during cold working. In both sizes of wire the tensile strength and the bending resistance continued to decrease at high temperature, and the fibrous structure continued to disappear then was not observed at 900degreesC. The carbide precipitation founded in grain boundary at 750degreesC probably was other elements carbide (Ni, Co) except Cr. The grain growth was observed at 1100degreesC. Optimum heat treatment for the 0.016" X 0.022" Elgiloy wire was 10 minutes at 500degreesC, and for the 0.018" X 0.025" Elgiloy wire it was 5 to 15 minutes at 500degreesC.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the school dietitian's cognition, practical use of environment-friendly agricultural products to provide fundamental information for the qualitative improvement in the school food service. The results of the study are as follows: 1. It was clearly recognized that the subsidy for the school food service is generally insufficient, the amount of additional appropriate subsidy for the school food service was different according to type of school and roughly 300~600 won in each of foods needs to be supported. 2. The environmentfriendly agricultural products that were often used in the school food service were vegetables and grains. 3. In the analysis of cognition and problems toward using environment-friendly agricultural products, the dietitians recognized that environment-friendly agricultural products should be appropriately used. A reason that environmentfriendly agricultural products were better than general agricultural products was composed of a use of less additive, good ingredient, and good outer condition. 4. In the analysis of countermeasure on increasing environment-friendly agricultural products in the school meal service, the response to that more additional subsidy was necessary for the school food service. The highest and the most positive effects after using environment-friendly agricultural products were students' health improvement and improvement in parents' satisfaction with the school food service.

Cerebral paragonimiasis, occurring as an extrapulmonary infestation, is one of the important intracranial lesions in Korea. In this paper we report a case of cerebral paragonimiasis which showed very similar C-T findings to pyogenic brain abscess and was verified by pathologic research. Though we don't have much experiences in the diagnosis of the cereal paragonimiasis with C-T Scan, we found out some differences between pyogenic abscess and that due to cerebral paragonimiasis in several aspects.

Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder with altered keratinization of the epidermis, but many cases are sporadic and presumably represent new mutation. Multiple discrete, keratotic, asymptomatic or mild pruritic papules are present at not only the seborrheic areas but also oral mucosa, palm and sole. The histologic characteristic changes in Darier's disease are formation of corps ronds and grains, suprabasal acantholysis and villi. We experienced a case of Darier's disease with preceding lesions of palm and sole, so reported this case with literature review.
