A girl aged 18 years and 1 month, had a Angle's Class Iff malocclusion, characterized by anterior crossbite, anterior crowding, and constriction from right lower 2nd p emolar to right lower 2nd molar This ~i5 5s patient underwent scaling and 84148 extraction, and multibanded system was placed. After 14 months, anterior crossbite and crowding was corrected, andbothdental arches were improved. After 6 months from debanding, band space disappeared, and any relapse was not detected.

The authors have studied on the effect of digital pressure on eyeball under the surface anesthesia instead of other reducing agents of intraocular pressure and retrobulbar anesthesia in order to lower the intraocular pressure as a preoperative procedure of cataract extraction in 26 eyeballs of 24 patients and following results were obtained: 1. The authors had intraocular pressure lowered till averaging 10.8 mmHg (average 13.5 ~ 8.0 mmHg) of original pressure by ocular massage. 2. Massage on eyeball was thought to be a satisfactory preoperative procedure to perform cataract extractIon. 3. In operative complications, loss of vitreous and rupture of capsule were noticed 11.5% and 60% respectively. and it was thought to be caused by technical failure in surgeons. In view of this fact we could not find that the loss of vitreous was caused by intraocular pressure below 13.5 mmHg.

This study was designed to investigate dental arch shapes buccally and lingually at Bracket Level of Koreans. This involved studying 63 inviduals (37 males, 26 females) with normal occlusion ranging in age from 17 to 24 years old. The landmarks were digitized and measurements and statistical analysis were performed by NEC 9801 V-M computer. The Results were as Follows: Bicanine width, Bipremolar width and Bimolar width were larger in males than in females. Buccal and lingual arch form and coordination form were obtained by NEC 9801 V-M computer. The parabolic equations which represents buccal and lingual arch form were obtained.

Leiomyoma is rare. Most of patients present with urinary tract infection, hematuria, dyspareunia, or complaint of mass. A case of leiomyoma on urethrovaginal septum in a 36 years old female was presented. The presenting symptom was a protruding mass at the anterior vaginal wall The mass was removed surgically and confirmed as a leiomyoma pathologically.

The complications of peripheral or posterioruveitis, such as vitreous opacity, epiretinal membrance, and tractional retinal detachment may need vitreous surgery. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of transpars plana vitrectomy in the case of epiretinal membrance or tractional retinal detachment secondary to chronic uveitis.We included 23 eyes of 21 patients, and among them there was 16 eyes of epiretinal membrance and 7 eyes of tractional retinal detachment respectively. Improvement of vision, 2 lines or more in Anellen Chart, was noted in 10 eyes(63%) for epiretinal membrance and 2 eyes(29%) for tractional retinal detachment within post-operative 1 month. Final visual acuity decrease, compared with preoperative vision, was noted in 4 eyes(25%) for epiretinal membrance and 6 eyes(86%) for tractional retinal detachment with a mean follow-up of 34 months. The most common cause of visual acuity decrease was recurrent or persistent inflammation and resultant fibrous tissue proliferation, which became obvious within post-operative 3 months.Therefore, we`re able to conclude that the main cause of postoperative visual acuity decrease is persistent intraocular inflammation and fibrous change. So it is necessary to remove posterior hyaloid membrance actively and combine with medical treatment like corticosteroid therapy in order to control the inflammation even after vitreous surgery.
