골형성 유도 단백질(bone morphogenetic protein, BMP)은 성장이나, 골형성과정에서 중용한 역할을 한다고 입증되었고 그것의 운반체에 대한 연구가 이뤄져 왔다. 하지만 수직압이 존재하는 곳에서 골증대술에 적용할 수 있을 만큼 강한 공간유지능력이 있는 운반체에 대한 연구는 그리 많지 않았다. Macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate block (MBCP block)은 공간유지능력이 뛰어나며 강한 수직압을 견딜수 있는 골대체물질이다. 이 연구의 목적은 MBCP block을 골형성유도 단백질(rhBMP-2)의 운반체로 사용하여 백서 두개골 결손부에 적용하였을 때, 골 형성 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 36마리의 웅성백서에서 8mm 지름을 갖는 임계크기의 두 개부 결손을 형성하였다. 20마리씩 2개의 군으로 나누어 MBCP block만 이식한 군, MBCP block을 운반체로 사용하여 농도 0.025mg/ml rhBMP-2를 이식한 군으로 나누어 술 후 2주와 8주에 치유결과를 조직학적, 조직계측학적으로 비교 관찰 하였다. 조직계측학적 관찰 결과, rhBMP-2/MBCP block 군에서 MBCP block군에서 보다 2, 8주 모두 골밀도(bone density)가 유의성있게 증가하였다 (P<0.01). 각 군에서도 8주째가 2주째보다 골밀도가 유의성있게 증가하였다(P<0.01). 총조직 형성량 (augmented area)에서는 변화가 없었다. 이 연구 결과, 백서 두개골 결손부에서 MBCP block은 rhBMP의 운반체로 사용하였을 때 신생골 형성에 유의한 효과가 있을뿐 아니라 공간유지능력이 우수해서 수직압이 존재하는 골증대술(bone augmentation)시 rhBMP의 운반체로 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

Purpose : Preliminary report of the technique and trial of double bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles allograft. Materials and Methods : From May 1999 to July 2000, 8 cases of PCL insufficient patients were treated with Achilles allograft reconstruction using the double bundle and double femoral tunnel technique. The tibial tunnel was prepared anteromedially. All other combined injuries within the knees were treated accordingly. Minimal follow-up period was 1 year. The results was assessed from the point of function and stability using Lysholm knee score and KT-2000 arthrometer. Results : Up to present follow up. 8 patients showed good sign of recovery with no instability (translation less than 2 mm) except olio that has been grafted-ligament rupture. In addition, none showed any sign of infection nor ROM limitation. Two complications were seen, which one had grafted-bone fracture and the other grafted-ligament rupture. The former occurred during operation and the latter occurred due to improper protection. Conclusion : Presently the follow up period is too short to draw any conclusive opinion but it is essential to select healthy and well sterilized allografts fur successful outcome. Double femoral tunnel technique seems to be more physiologic in PCL reconstruction. With these prerequisites, it seems to be a good alternative to use Achilles allografts fur the reconstruction of PCL. However, a longer follow-up is needed.

Mandibular discontinuity defect due to benign tumor, malignant tumor, infection, or truma results in major esthetic and biologic compromise. The primary goal of reconstruction is full restitution of function, which secondarily lead to normalization of the cosmetic deformity. The authors make a clinical study of 61 consecutive bone graft cases for mandibular reconstruction of discontinuity defect which were studied retrospectively using clinical data and radiographic findings. The cases were reviewed to evaluate the clinical success in the period from 1981 to 1990 in the Dept. of Oral & maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. The criteria of the success in bone graft, are no residual infection, graft in with maintain its integrity, and remain over a half of its original size of graft in the radiographic features. The purpose of this clinical survey is to study of the mandibular discontinuity defects and success rate of free bone graft in mandibular defects. To summarize the clinical study of free bone graft, the main type of autogenous bone graft is iliac bone and corticocancellous type. Overall success rate is 80.3% in 61 followup cases over 6 months. Wire fixation and Extraoral approach has realtively better prognosis than other methods. It showed relatively poor prognosis in symphysis defects than other recipient site.

The sinus tympani is subject to great variability in the size, shape and posterior extent. A heavy compact bony zone, especially in the posterior portion and the narrow space between the facial nerve and posterior semicircular canal are the limitation of surgical approach. The facial recess should be opened, creating a wide connection between the mesotympanum and mastoid in the Intact canal wall tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy. The surgically created limits of the facial recess are the facial nerve medially, the chorda tympani laterally and the bone adjacent to the incus superiorly. Using adult Korean's thirty-five temporal bones, the authors measured the osteologic reslationship in the posterior tympanum, especially sinus tympani and facial recess. The result was as followed. 1. The average distance from the anterior end of the pyramidal eminence. 1) to the edge of the sinus tympani directly posterior was 2.54(1.05-5.40)mm. 2) to the maximum posterior extent was 3.22(1.25-7.45)mm. 3) to the maximum cephaled extent was 0.67 (0.40-1.75)mm. 2. The boundary of the sinus tympani was 82.9% from the lower margin oval window to the upper margin round window niche. 3. The deepest part of the sinus tympani was 62.9% in the mid portion, between the ponticulus and subiculum. 4. The oblique dimension from the fossa incudis above to the hypotympanum below was 8.13(7.90-9.55)mm. 5. The transverse dimensions midway between the oval window above and round window below was 3.00(2.85-3.45)mm. 6. The transverse dimension at the level of the fossa incudis was 1.81(1.40-2.15)mm. 7. The facial nerve dehiscence was 14.3%. 8. Anterior-posterior diameter of the footplate was 2.98(2.85-3.05) mm. 9. The average distance from the footplate. 1) to the cochleariform process was 1.42(1.35-1.55) mm. 2) to the round window niche was 1.85(1.45-2.10) mm.
