A clinical review was performed of 11 cases of traumatic foot treated by tendon transfer at Severance Hospital during the period from April 1979 to March 1988 and the results are summarized as follows: l. Among 11 patient, there were 8 males and 3 females, ranging from 4 to 36 years of age. 2. Anterior tibial tendon was used in 6 cases, among these, split anterior tibial tendon was used in 3 cases. Posterior tibial tendon was used in 2 cases and extensor digitorum longus tendon of the foot in 3 cases. 3. In cases of soft tissue injury where tendon transfer was impossible, microvascular free cutaneous flap transplantation was combined with the tendon transfer in 6 cases. 4. Follow-up results of the 11 cases were obtained from 5 months to 9 years. Excellent results were obtained in 8 cases and satisfactory in 3 cases. For the correction of function loss in traumatic foot, tendon transfers were useful method for the recovery of active motion of the foot.

4.A Case of Eye Lashes in an Anterior Chamber.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1968;9(2_3):23-25
Authors found a case with a slight trauma in which two eye lashes penetrated into the anterior chamber. This 25 years old male patient came to our clinic 2 weeks after trauma on right eye and eyelid, complaining of photophobia, foreign body sensation and ocular pain which were persisted for two weeks. On slit-lamp examination, two eye-lashes on iris surface were found in the anterior chamber of his right eye and a dot like corneal superficial opacity was also found on 6 o'clock meridian near the limbus, but that is questionable whether it is penetrating wound or not. No other foreign body was noticed in the same chamber. The eye lashes were removed surgically and the one of them was carried out by iridectomy. The literatures were briefly reviewed for the mechanism of the penetration of the cilia was very mterestmg.

5.Cloning and Characterization of the Differentially Expressed Genes in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Journal of the Korean Society for Microbiology 1997;32(6):685-692
In spite of the extensive use of antibiotics over several decades, Streptococcus pneumoniae still remains as one of the most serious human bacterial pathogens. In order to clone the pneumococcal genes whose expression is induced when pneumococcus causes infection in mice, S. pneumoniae strain ATCC 6303 was subcultured on blood agar plates (BAP) ten times to reduce the virulence first, and then passaged through BALB/c mice three times to restore the virulence. Subtractive hybridization was performed using the total RNA preparations isolated from BAP-cultured and mouse-passaged strains. Complementary DNAs corresponding to any mRNA species that were differentially expressed in the mouse- passaged strain were used as the probes to screen the genomic library of pneumococcus. Positive recombinants were selected and sequenced partially to identify the genes located within the cloned DNA. GenBank search of the sequence data has identified several genes including two heat shock genes (dnaK and dnap, a transposase-encoding gene, and a sequence which is very homologous to that of the ftsH gene.

7.Higher Cognitive Functions and Psychiatric Disorders.
Journal of the Korean Society of Biological Psychiatry 1997;4(1):36-42
Higher cognitive functions refer to the highest level of human intellectual functioning, including formation, reasoning, and executive functions. The executive functions can be conceptualized as having four components ; volition, planning, purposive action, and effective performance. Because higher cognitive functions represent the most advanced stages of intellectual development, they are often highly susceptible to the effects of brain injuries and mental disorders. The ability to perform effectively within the environment is determined in large part by an individual's adequacy in performing such higher-order function. Especially executive functions are necessary for appropriate, socially responsible, and effectively sell-serving adult conduct. Therefore, an assessment of the psychiatric patient's performance in these areas will provide useful diagnostic information, as well as information concerning social and vocational prognosis.

There is debatable opinions as to the nature and clinical significance of the changes that may occur in the spine after posterior spine fusion performed in growing children. Clinical survey is known to be difficult because X-ray films in children are not easy to interpret and measure in the presence of disease and accuracy is uncertain due to magnification on X-ray films. Authors selected 8 cases of tuberculous spondylitis which were managed with posterior spine fusion under the criterias that cases had surgery under 10 years old, no evidence of pseudoarthrosis clinically and roentgenologically on serial examinations at least once 1 year, follow-up more than 2 years since 3 months after surgery, enough spines are included on lateral X-ray films, and accurate measurement and correction of magnification are possible. The cases were surveyed for changes occured in fused spines after posterior spine fusion and the results were as follows: 1. There was actual lengthening of grafted bone mass after solid fusion in all cases although the amounts were minimal. 2. The fused spines grew 46% on an average less than adjacent normal unfused spines. 3. The vertebral bodies of fused spines grew nearly same as the adjacent normal vertebral bodies. 4, The intervertebral disc spaces of the fused spines were narrowed in all cases. 5. The intervertebral angles had tendency to increase and kyphosis angles to decrease.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The residual monomer of denture base materials causes hypersensitivity on oral mucosa and intereferes with the mechanical properties of the cured resin. The amount of residual monomer is influenced by materials, curing cycle, processing method, and etc. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the residual methyl methacrylate(MMA) content of injection molded denture base polymer, and to compare this with the self-cured resin and the conventional compression molded heat-cured resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Disc shaped test specimens (50mm in diameter and 3mm thick) were prepared in a conventional flasking technique with gypsum molding. One autopolymerized denture base resins (Vertex SC. Dentimex. Netherlands) and two heat-cured denture base resins (Vertex RS. Dentimex. Netherlands, Ivocap. Ivoclar Vivadent, USA) were used. The three types of specimens were processed according to the manufacturer's instruction. After polymerization, all specimens were stored in the dark at room emperature for 7 days. There were 10 specimens in each of the test groups. 3-mm twist drills were used to obtain the resin samples and 650mg of the drilled sample were collected for each estimation. Gas chromatography (Agillent 6890 Plus Gas Chromatograph, Agillent Co, USA) was used to determine the residual MMA content of 10 test specimens of each three types of polymer. RESULTS: The residual monomer content of injection molded denture base resins was 1.057+/- 0.141%. The residual monomer content of injection molded denture base resins was higher than that of compression molded heat cured resin (0.867+/-0.169%). However, there was no statistical significant difference between two groups (p > 0.01). The level of residual monomer in self cured resin(3.675+/-0.791) was higher than those of injection molded and compression molded heat cured resins (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: With respect to ISO specification pass/fail test (2.2% mass fraction) of residual monomer, injection molding technique(1.057+/-0.141%) is a clinicaly useful and safe technique in terms of residual monomer.
