최근 횡문근육종을 치료함에 있어서 수술적 요법, 방사선 치료, 강암 약물요법을 적절히 병행함으로써 치료에 따르는 후유증을 극소화하면서 괄목할만한 생존율 향상을 가져오게 되었다. 특히 두경부의 횡문근육종은 소아에서 다발하고 병소의 위치에 따라서 각각 다른 임상적 특성을 가지며 수술적 절제를 했을 때 기능 및 외견상 결손이 크므로 별도의 연구 대상이 되어 왔으며 수술적 방법보다는 방사선 치료 및 항암 약물요법이 강조되고 있다. 저자들은 1976년부터 1987년까지 두경부 횡문근육종으로 진단받고 연세 암센터에서 항암 약물요법 및 방사선 치료를 받은 22명의 환자를 대상으로 하여 발생 부위, 조직 병리, 병기별 분포 및 생존율, 치료 방법에 따른 생존율을 후향성으로 분석하였다. 22명의 환자중 10 세 미만이 12 예로 가장 많았고, 13명이 배아세포형이였으며, 임상병기는 병기 III 이 가장 많아서 14 예였다. 병소의 위치는 안와가 6명으로 가장 많았고, 뇌수막주변부가 7명 (상악동 3명, 중이도 2명, 비강 l명, 비인강 1명), 기타 9명 (경부 5명, 이하선 2명, check 2명) 이었다. 5년 무병 생존율은 안와 종양에서 가장 높아서 50% 였고, 안와외 두경부가 37.5%, 뇌수막주변부가 16.7% 로 가장 낮았으며, 낮은 병기(병기 III), 배아세포형, 항암 약물 요법 병용군에서 상대적으로 높은 생존율이 관찰되었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of head posture the position of the tongue or the hyoid bone to craniofacial structure. Cephalograms taken in Natural head position(NHP) of 90 dental students (50 in male, 40 in female, 20 to 30 years in age) were traced and measured using the extracranial true horizontal and vertical lines. The obtained results were as follows; 1. There was no sex difference in head posture, but the hyoid bone was placed anteroinferiorly in male more than in female and anteroinferior inclination of the hyoid bone showed greatly in male. 2. The more inclined was the cervical column, the less prognathic was the face in natural head posture, and the larger cervical curvature, the more vertical pattern of the face. 3. The less small showed craniocervical angulation, the more anteriorly placed was the hyoid bone to the cranial base, and there was no significantly association between craniocervical angulation and the vertical position of the hyoid bone. 4. The more prognathic was the mandible, the more anteriorly placed was the hyoid bone, and there was slightly association between the craniofacial morphology and the vertical position of the hyoid bone.

The spatial dose distribution was measured with ionization chamber as preliminary study to evaluate operator dose and to study dose reduction during neuro-interventional procedures. The zone of operators was divided into four area (45, 135, 225, and 315 degree).We supposed that operator exist on the four area and indicated location of critical organs(eyes, breast, gonad). The spatial doses were measured depending on distance( 80, 100, 120, and 140 cm) and location of critical organs. The spatial doses of area of 225 degree were 114.5 mR/h (eyes location), 143.1 mR/h (breast location) and 147 mR/h (gonad location) in 80 cm. When changed location of x-ray generator, spatial dose increased in $18.1{\pm}10.5%$, averagely. We certified spatial dose in the operator locations, Using the results of this study, It is feasible to protect operator from radiation in neuro-interventional procedures.

미세외과 수술에 의한 유리 피판술의 도입은 두경부 종양제거후 재건에 괄목할 만한 진보를 가져왔다. 특히 광범위한 종양의 제거가 필요하며 인근의 조직으로 수복이 어렵고 기능 및 외모상의 재건이 문제가 되는 경우 유리 피판은 절대적인 적응이 된다. 구강은 언어구사 와 연하(deglutition)기능을 담당하므로 재건을 위해서는 얇고 부드러운 조직으로 수복하여 주어야 한다. 전완부 유리피판은 혈관경의 위치가 대부분 일정하고 종양 제거후 결손의 모양에 따라 피판을 계획할 수 있기 때문에 구강암 제거후 가장 많이 이용되는 유리피판이다. 저자는 1982년 부터 1988년까지 영국 글라스고우 소재 서부 스코틀랜드 성형 및 구강외과 병원에서 구강의 편평상피암환자로 암종제거 후, 전완부 피판에 의한 재건 및 방사선 치료를 받은 151명의 치료결과(재발율 및 생존율)를 분석하였다. 절제연의 종양조직의 양성(P<0.05), 경부 임파절의 extracapsular node spread여부(P<0.001), 경부 임파절 곽청술의 종류(P<0.05) 등은 재발율과 관련하여 통계적으로 유의하였다. 반면에 종양의 구강내 위치, 하악골의 침범여부등은 통계적의의가 없었다. 생존율에 관하여는 종양의 구강내 위치 (P<0.05), 종양절제연 종양여부(P<0.005), 하악골의 침범여부(P<0.05), 경부 임파절의 extracapsular node spread여부(P<0.001) 등이 통계적으로 유의할 만한 요소로 밝혀졌다. 젊은 나이의 환자들에서(50세이하) 특징적으로 높은 사망률을 보였다. 하악골절제방법의 차이는 환자의 생존예후에 통계적으로 유의할 만한 영향을 주지 못했다.

It has been known that head posture may influence directly and/or indirectly the growth and development of craniofacial morphology and can also be influenced by the funtional demand of physiologic activity. It was reported that facial morphology has close relationships with hyoid bone position and head posture. In many previous studies, Natural Head Posture(NHP) was guided, and also it was shown that NHP has high degree of reproducibility. Otherwise, There was few study about the relationship of head posture, with routine cephalometric film which is used for clinical orthodontic purpose. In this study, according to the Wits and ANB of initial cephalometric film which was taken with vertical pendulum as representative of true vertical reference line. We classified the subjects which is comprised of 60 adult female patients into Class I, II, III (Cl I, II, III)and we tried to find out the correlation of head posture and hyoid bone position according to the classification of malocclusion. As a result of our research, we found the followigs. 1. In comparison of vertical position of hyoid bone relative to the cranial base. the position of hyoid bone of Cl III was lower than that of Cl II. 2. In comparison of anteriorpostes or position of hyoid bone, relative to the cervical column. The position of hyoid bone of Cl III was more anterior than that of a II 3. in comparison of vertical position of hyoid bone relative to mandible. There was no significant correlation aumoug the groups of malocclusion. 4. ANB and Wits showed no significant correlation with hyoid bone position. 5. The relative extension of head, which was noted in Cl II, showed negative with Sum, ANB. 6. In Cl II and Cl III, Post to Ant facial height showed positive correlation with NSL/VER.

Recently, the interest in the orthodontic treatment for children is increased by a rise in national income level. The number of cephalometric radiography that could diagnose a malocclusion and malposition between teeth and jawbone increased. It required attention to radiation exposure, because the subject of dental examination is children which are more sensitive to radiation and the head and neck, the object of that include radiation sensitive organ such as the thyroid, bone marrow, eyes, salivary gland, and so on. In this study, we measured two-dimensional dose distribution in cephalometric radiography system (VATEC Pax-400C) using Agfa CP-G Plus film and MagicMax Dosimeter, and calculated radiation organ dose of head and neck through MCNPX simulation. And then we designed a radiation protective device to decrease radiation dose. The dose distribution of the cephalometric radiography system irradiated the head and neck overall as well as the oral and maxillofacial parts. The radiation organ dose calculated that thyroid, oesophagus and eyes are irradiated high, and the radiation organ dose decreased about 70 ~ 80% by the application of the radiation protective device. The results of this study will be used construction of database for dental radiation exposure and research of reducing radiation dose.

Purpose: To assess the degree and clinical impact of location error of the dens on the X-axis during radiotherapy to brain and head and neck tumors. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with brain tumors or head and neck tumors who received three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy from January 2009 to June 2010 were included in this study. In comparison two-dimensional verification portal images with initial simulation images, location error of the nasal septum and the dens on the X-axis was measured. The effect of set-up errors of the dens was simulated in the planning system and analyzed with physical dose parameters. Results: A total of 402 portal images were reviewed. The mean location error at the nasal septum was 0.16 mm and at the dens was 0.33 mm (absolute value). Location errors of more than 3 mm were recorded in 43 cases (10.7%) at the nasal septum, compared to 133 cases (33.1%) at the dens. There was no case with a location error more than 5 mm at the nasal septum, compared to 11 cases (2.7%) at the dens. In a dosimetric simulation, a location error more than 5 mm at the dens could induce a reduction in the clinical target volume 1 coverage (V95: 100%${\rightarrow}$87.2%) and overdosing to a critical normal organ (Spinal cord V45: <0.1%${\rightarrow}$12.6%). Conclusion: In both brain and head and neck radiotherapy, a relatively larger set-up error was detected at the dens than the nasal septum when using an electronic portal imaging device. Consideration of the location error of the dens is necessary at the time of the precise radiation beam delivery in two-dimensional verification systems.
