  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sex and menopausal age on the thickness and density of squamous portion of the temporal bone as the membranous bone. Patients who visited a general hospital in Chungnam and had a computed tomography (CT) examination of the head. A retrospective study was conducted with 120 subjects (30 men under 55 years old, 30 men over 56 years old, 30 women under 55 years old, and 30 women over 56 years old). Axial images of the squamous portion in the temporal bone were obtained from CT of the head. For this image, a slice sensitive profile (SSP) was acquired with an image analysis program and these were evaluated. The thickness was measured by using a digital ruler to measure the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the SSP, and the density was measured in hounsfield unit (HU). These by gender were measured to be about 0.5 mm thinner in the temporal bone in men than in women, and there was a significant difference. The density was measured to be about 200 HU higher in women than in men of it, and there was a significant difference. As a result, it in women was thicker and had a lower density. The thickness of it in men and women over 56 years of age was 0.8 mm or more thicker in women and less than 400 HU in density. As a result, the women group over the age of 56 showed a distinct increase in thickness and decrease in density, different from other target groups. It is expected that the results of this study could be used as basic data for a new bone density measurement site study.

  • Vscularized calvarial bone flaps have been useful tools in the reconstuction of different type of bone defects in craniofacial surgery Vascularized bone transfer are often preferred to nonvascularized bone grafts because nonvascularized bone grafts are less resistant to infection, not as mechanically strong, and do not survive well in a poorly vascularized bed. Potential advantages of vascularized outer table calvarial bone flap include proximity to the operative field, membranous origin similar to that of the facial skeleton, maleability which allows for a variety of shapes and sizes, inconspicous donor sit scar. The following are the case reports of two patients who underwent craniofacial reconstruction suing vascularized outer table calvarial bone flap.

  • To investigate a role of cartilage canals in osteogenesis and growth of the vertebrae, in human fetuses ranging from 50 mm to 260 mm crown rump length were studied by electron microscopy. The initial appearance of cartilage canals of the vertebral body was observed at 60 mm fetus. In 80 mm fetus, primary ossification center in the vertebral body was first noted. The vertebral body showed calcified chondrocytes surrounded by a tone of hypertrophied chondrocytes and deep canals which terminated in calcified matrix. Most hypertrophied chondrocytes in the centrum showed in various stage of degeneration in disorderly arrangement. At the blind end of deep canal, osteogenic cells, osteoblasts and chondroclasts were observed. Resorption of unmineralized cartilage septa was undertaken by perivascular cells within cartilage canals. The ruffled border of the chondroclast was restricted to resorption site of calcified cartilagenous matrix. The periosteal bone formation was followed by the appearance of primary center of the centrum at 120 mm fetus. The osteoblasts of the perichondrium started to lay down a thin membranous bony lamella on the outer surface of the osseous trabeculae of the centrum. The processes of bone formation in the vertebral bodies were found to possess morphological similarities to that occurring at secondary center of the epiphysis of a long bone. These results indicate that the connective tissue cells within the cartilage canals proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts at the site of endochondral ossification of the vertebrae.
