Holoprosencephaly is a rare malformation complex or development defect including different degrees of incomplete cleavages of the embryonic prosencephalon and varying degrees of the midface defects, resulting from the defect of prechordal mesoderm, migrating forward into the area anterior to the notochord during the third week of fetal development. Early antenatal diagnosis of holoprosencephaly is important to find out its severity, to predict its prognosis, and to determine proper management according to its prognosis and severity. The possibility of early antenatal diagnosis of holoprosencephaly by ultrasound has been suggested, but occasionally missed and rarely confirmed. We present one case of lobar holoprosencephaly, diagnosed postnatally and one case of alobar holoprosencephaly, diagnosed antenatally in our hospitals.

By utilizing 3D image data from oral and facial scans, virtual patients can be created, allowing clinicians to accurately assess the occlusal plane and the aesthetic position and form of anterior teeth in relation to facial scan data. This integration enhances the predictability of aesthetic prosthetic treatments, reduces the potential for occlusal interferences and adjustments, and facilitates effective communication with patients during the diagnostic process. In this case report, a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion had both oral and facial scans to generate a virtual patient during the diagnostic phase. Based on this virtual model, prostheses were designed and fabricated, resulting in an efficient and clinically satisfactory outcome both aesthetically and functionally.

The axial contour and proximal contact of the prosthesis affect periodontal health, food impaction, and patient satisfaction. This narrative review provides a summary of articles regarding the axial contour and proximal contact of a fixed dental prosthesis on periodontal health and physiologic function. By acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the axial contour and proximal contact of teeth and prostheses, as well as their functional significance, the virtual design of fixed dental prosthesis can be optimized to maintain periodontal health and promote physiologic function effectively.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluation the effect of administration of postpartumtonic agent(MMQ) on postpartum anemia during puerperal period, obesity control and uterine involution. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: From June 2002 to November 2002, twenty women who underwent spontaneous vaginal delivery at department of obstetrics and gynecology, college of medicine, Pochon CHA University ghopital were included in this study. All women were randomly assigned to receive postpartum tonic agent(MMQ, Albiomed Co.Ltd) or placebo two times a day after each meal for four weeks. They were assessed obesity test(BMI), hematologic examination(CBC, reticulocyte count), liver function test(AST/ALT) and ultrasound test at first day and 28th days after delivery. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the two group in demographic characteristics. No statistically significant difference were found in this study between the two group in hemoglobin, hematocrit, BMI and the size of uterus. There was no adverse effect to the tested drug. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in efficacy and safety between MMQ and placebo in the effect of postpartum anemia, obesity control and reduction of recovery perod. The following limitations have to be considered; Iron supplement, variable diet, seaweed ingestion, consumption of herb and small sample ize. Therefore, a extensive prospective study with control of these variables should be required.

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study on the outcomes of surgical treatment for pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis. OBJECTIVES: To report the clinical outcomes of the surgical treatment of pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis using a one stage posterior approach. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: There are few reports on the treatment of pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis through a one stage posterior approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between June 1999 and June 2005, this study examined the history of 12 patients with pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis treated by simultaneous posterior debridement, autogenous iliac bone graft and pedicle screw fixation. The clinical outcomes were evaluated in terms of the pain level, neurological status, hematological parameters and radiology findings. RESULTS: The clinical symptoms improved in all cases after surgery. There was no case of the infection recurring. The mean time for postoperative antibiotics and hospitalization was 6 weeks and 41.6 days, respectively. Radiological bony fusion was observed at 5.5 months on average. The mean preoperative, immediate postoperative and final follow-up sagittal angles were 4.6, 8.6 and 6.9degrees. CONCLUSION: One stage posterior interbody fusion and instrumentation for the treatment of pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis can provide radical debridement, bone graft and immediate stability without prohibiting the control of infection. Therefore, it can be used in selected cases.

PURPOSE: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and account for 1% of all GI malignancies. GISTs have a highly variable clinical course, and recurrent disease sometimes develops despite curative treatment. Although there are several known risk factors for recurrence, there are few adequate treatment strategies. This study evaluated the clinical behavior and clinicopathological characteristics, and examined correlation between recurrence and the prognostic factors. METHODS: From March 1999 to December 2005, 41 patients, with GISTs confirmed by a pathologic examination after a surgical resection, were enrolled. The patients were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining for CD117, CD34 and smooth muscle actin, and were classified according to the NIH criteria. RESULTS: The mean age was 58.9 years and the GISTs were mainly located in the stomach (56%) and small bowel (32%). With a median follow-up of 17.4 months, recurrence of the disease occurred in nine (22%) patients, with the liver being the main organ involved. According to the NIH criteria, there were 2 very low risk tumors, 11 low risk, 16 intermediate, and 12 high risk diagnosed. Gender was found to have predictive value for a recurrence (P=0.05). CONCLUSION: The primary site and gender have predictive value for a recurrence. Identifying the risk factors for recurrent disease may be useful for planning follow-up schedules. Further study involving more cases and a long-term follow-up will be needed. In addition, pathologic and immunohistoche-mical studies will be required to reduce the recurrence rate after a resection and to improve the patients' outcome.
