Purpose : A cyst-like lesion within and around the knee joint is very rare, with very few articles available in the literature. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment of cyst-like lesion within and around the knee joint which reported rarely. Materials and Methods : We are reporting 14 cases of cyst-like lesion around the knee joint. Our cases include 3 ganglion cyst in infrapatellar fat pad, 1 fibroma, 1 giant cell tumor and 1 epidermoid cyst which have not yet been reported. The diagnosis of cyst-like lesion in Juxta-articular knee Joint was made only by MRI study and we confirmed pathology. Male was 9, female was 5 cases, average age was 24(11-43)year old. Follow up was average 45(12months-8years)months. Minimum follow up was 12 months. Results : All the patients were treated arthroscopic excisional debridements successfully. All the cases were excellent result in last follow up by functional criteria in Lysholm knee score average 98.9(95-100). All examimation was normal except 3 cases in last follow up. But all patients satisfied in arthroscopic treatment. Conclusion : Arthroscopic excisional debridement of the cyst-1ike lesion in juxta-arthcular knee joint is excellent method, but long term follow up needed in the future.

Purpose : To compare the mid term with long term follow up results of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)> reconstruction using patellar tendon. Materials and Methods : Seventy-six cases, which could be followed up more than 2 years were included in this study. They were classified into two groups, mid-term group(41 cases) with mean follow-up periods of 2 years and 10 months and long-term group(35 cases) off years and 6 months. Clinical and radiological results and peripatellar complications were evaluated & compared. Results . There was no statistically significant difference in radiological finding and anterior instability between two groups. However, the incidence of anterior knee pain, paresthesia at incision site, kneeling pain, crepitus and quadriceps weakness was lower in long-term group than in mid-term group. Conclusion : ACL reconstruction using patellar tendon graft could successfully restone the stability of knee joint, but there are some complications in donor site and patellofemoral joint. However this complications were gradually decreased with long term follow-up.

Purpose: To report the results of arthroscope assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction without tourniquet, which has not yet been reported in documents within the country. Materials and Methods: Out of the 75 cases of arthroscope assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on patients with posterior cruciate ligament damage from January, 1998 to May,2003 in this hospital, study was done on 49 cases of patients with isolated posterior cruciate ligament damage, excluding 16 cases of patients who were applied tourniquet in extraarticular operation due to combined damage such as in lateral collateral ligament and posterolateral collateral ligament, and 10 cases where the postoperative observation period was less than 12 months. There were 13 cases where reconstruction was done using autogenous bone-patella tendon-bone, 19 cases using allogenous bone-patella tendon-bone, and 17 cases using allogenous achilles tendon. For assessment, the 49 cases were compared using Lysholm knee scoring scale. Results: The average duration of operation was 105 minutes. There were no severe complications such as swelling, bleeding, infection etc . Assessment results attained by Lysholm knee scoring scale was 74(fair) for cases where autogenous bone-patella ten-don-bone was used,75(fair) for cases where allogenous achilles tendon was used, and 76(fair) for cases where allogenous bone-patella tendon-bone was used. Conclusion: There are no difficulties to perform the arthroscopic assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Reconstruction without tourniquet can be thought to prevent complications that could follow when using it.

This article discusses Dasan Cheong Yagyong(1762-1836)'s perspectives on The Book of historical documents("書經"). Dasan Cheong Yagyong considered The Shoo King as The Book of historical documents presented Ideas of Confucian Politics in ancient China. Many Scholar and Kings dispersed and re-edition The Shoo King as historical documents. Dasan Cheong Yagyong analyzed, de-constructed, and reinterpretations documents of dominant The Shoo King. Dasan Cheong Yagyong tried to recover the original documents The Shoo King. Dasan Cheong Yagyong collected dispersed material of The Shoo King, and complied the original documents. Dasan Cheong Yagyong wrote four book of The Shoo King. Dasan want to reconstruct the new theory by these reinterpretations of The Book of historical documents presented Ideas of Confucian Politics in ancient China, and to open new era.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical result of the arthroscopic reduction and fixation for the displaced tibial spine fractures in children and report the utility of the arthroscopic treatment with the review of the literature. Methods: Between December 2000 and July 2004, five patients (average age 9.1 years) received an arthroscopic reduction and fixation of displaced tibial spine fracture. A male-to-female ratio was 3:2 and mean follow-up was 38.2$(13{\sim}56)$ months. All five patients were classified type III by Movers and McKeever classification. The average period from injury to operation was 4.8 days $(3{\sim}8days)$, the avulsed fragment was reduced by operative arthroscopy and fixated by pull-out suture in 3 patients and by cannulated screw in 2 patients. Postoperatively long leg cast was applied for 2 weeks, and then gradual range-of-motion exercise was permitted. Full weight-bearing ambulation was permitted after 6 weeks. The clinical evaluation was performed by range of motion, Lachman and pivot shift test, KT-1000 arthrometer, Lysholm knee score and the modified Feagin score. Results: All five patients had no symptom and recovered full range of motion of the affected knees. Lachman test was positive finding of 1+ laxity in one patient, the others were negative, and all patients were negative findings for pivot shift test. The result of KT-1000 arthrometric assessment is mean maximum side-to-side differences 1.9 mm. Average Lysholm knee score was 99.4. All patients had excellent results in modified Feagin score. Conclusion: Arthroscopic reduction and fixation of displaced tibial spine fracture in children showed excellent result without complication. Both pull-out suture fixation and cannulated fixation provide an effective treatment option for fixation of the displaced anterior tibial spine fracture.

Soundscapes have the potential to help people experience the historical background and cultural traditions by the scenery of a local area and to be used as a cultural and tourism resource. This concept was first explained in detail by M. Schafer and has been developed as a new way of experiencing landscapes using various senses. This research studied the soundscape of Kyodong Island, the so-called "Island of Peace" and designed new cultural acoustic content for education and tourism. Kyodong Island is located right below the Northern Limit Line and the whole island is in the Civilian Controlled Area. The political and economic status of the island has been changed dynamically by the Korean War and the division of the country. These days, the island needs to realize the vision of the "Island of Peace" in a more creative way using local resources, including its "cold war landscape" and the natural scenery of the region. This research applied the concept of a soundscape to document the island, and to reproduce it in an artistic way. A workshop was conducted to learn concepts and techniques of soundscapes with a sound artist. Listening, recording, conducting interviews, and literature research was used to study the soundscape of the island. After that, this research reconstructed the soundscape of the island through a soundscape composition. The main theme of the composition story was the "Hope and Wish for the Harmony and Peace" to show the vision of the "Island of Peace". The initial sub-theme for the introduction part was "First Encounter with Kyodong Island" arranging the representative soundscape, which could be the first impression of the region. The second sub-theme was "War and Tension" using several soundscapes as a metaphor for the tragedy of the Korean War. The third sub-theme was "Everyday Life of Kyodong Island" which described the energy of the present day, after the wounds of the war have healed. The final sub-theme was "Harmony and Peace" using traditional music and keynote sounds of the region as a reminder of the peaceful past, before the war. The recording files were documented as two types of sound maps. One was a two-dimensional map to show the soundscapes from one point of view, and the other used the online application called "Sound Around You". The final artwork was displayed at an exhibition and uploaded on YouTube to be shared publicly. Through this project, we discovered the potential of soundscapes as a medium to preserve the history and local identity, as well as presenting a new vision. The artwork will be exhibited at historically and culturally meaningful places on the Island to utilize the underused places as local tourist attractions and educational resources.
