간부분 절제술을 하지 않는 비수술적 방법으로서 D-galactosamine을 이용한 중기발암성 시험의 개발을 목적으로 F344 수괵 랫드를 이용하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 I 에서는 실험방법에 따라 3가지 모델로 구분하고, 각 모델에 처치군과 대조군을 두었다. 모델 1 에서는 실험개시시에 diethylinitrosamine (DEN)을 200 mg/kg body weight로 복강내로 1회 투여하고, 실험개시후 2및 5주에 D-galactosamine을 300 mg/kg body weight로 복강내로 각각 1회 투여하였다. 처치군에는 실험개시후 2주부터 6주간 2-acetylaminofluorene을 0.01%로 혼합한 사료를 급여하였으며, 대조군에는 기초사료를 계속 급여하였다. 모델 2에서는 모델 1의 4주차까지의 처치를 2회 반복하였다. 모델 3은 간부분 절제술을 하는 DEN-PH (diethylnitrosamine-partial hepatectomy) 모델과 같은 방법으로 처치하였다. 사육기간 중 매주 체중 및 사료소비량을 측정하였고, DEN 투여후 8주에 전동물을 부검하여 적출한 간의 중량을 측정하고, glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) 양성 foci에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색표본을 만들어 GST-P 양성 foci의 수 및 면적을 측정하였다. 실험 II에서는 모델 1의 방법으로 phenobarbital(PB), 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC), n-ethyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine 및 3,3'-diaminobenzidine외 GST-P 양성 foci의 발현정도를 조사하였다. 실험 I의 결과, 모델 1이 정상적인 체중 증가를 보여주었으며, 간조직의 GST-P 양성 foci 의 발현율이 가장 좋았다. GST-P 양성 foci의 면적은 큰것 부터 미상엽, 내측우엽, 외측우엽의 순으로 나타났으나 foci의 수는 모델별로 다르게 나타났다. 실험 II의 PB 투여군과 3-MC 투여군에서 GST-P 양성 foci의 수 및 면적의 유의성 있는 증가가 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼때, 비수술적 방법인 D-galactosamine 을 이용한 중기 발암성 검색법은 간부분 절제술을 이용한 중기발암성 검색법에 비하여 GST-P 양성foci의 발현능력이 동등하거나 더 우수하였으며, 간 및 간이외 장기의 발암물질에 대한 발암성 검색에 보다 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: In spite of the development of chemotherapy, prognosis of metastatic lung cancer was poor. On the other hand, surgical intervention has proven itself to bring out superior results, therefore more operations are being praticed based on this superiority against chemotherapy and other modalities on metastatic lung cancer. Material and Method : We analyzed the surgical cases performed from 1983 to 1997 on 17 cases and estimated 5 year survival rate using Kaplan-Meier method. Result: Average age was 42.8, ratio between male and female was 10:7. We had 8 single lobe resections,3 pneumonectomies,1 wedge resection,2 bilobectomy and 3 cases of lobar resection with wedge resection. 5 deaths have occured and among the 5, 3 patients were caused by recurrence of ca. The remaining 12 patients are being followed up in OPD basis among these, 3 recurrence were observed and 9 are still free of cancer. The average survival time was 40.5 months and 5 year survival rate obtained through the Kaplan-Meier method was 60.4%. Conclusion: Even though we are a bit short of cases, we recommend that a thoracic surgeon approach this disease through a surgical method as possibly as he could.

Nasal fossae 의 암이란 비강과 부비동들에서 발생하는 것으로서 환자를 가장 괴롭히며 또한 가장 믿을수 없는 악성종양들중의 하나이다. 비록 본 예수병원 암환자 등록부에 의하면 전 암환자의 2.2% 발생빈도로서 주요한 발생빈도를 보이지는 않지만, 이 부위의 암을 치유하는데는 세심하고 철저한 모든 진단적 검사와 과감한 외과 및 치료방사선의 병합치료가 요구된다. 저자들은 지난 22 년간 비강 및 부비동 (Nasal fossae) 에서 발생한 원발성 악성종양중 치유목적의 근치수술을 시행한 68 예를 임상고찰 하였다. 근치수술을 시행했던 68 예중 91% 에서 제 3 병기 또는 4 병기의 진행된 경우 이었다. 외과적 수술은 한예의 사골동 (篩骨洞) 종양적출술 및 부분상악동(上顎洞)절제술 한 예를 제외한 66 예 모두에서 전상악동(全上顎洞)절제술 (total maxillectomy) 또는 확장 전상악동(全上顎洞)절제술 (extended total maxillectomy) 을 시 하였다. 저자들은 역학적(疫學的), 병리학적(病理學的), 병기(病期) 및 치료, 재발율과 생존율들을 분석 고찰하였으며 3가지 치료형태를 서로 비교하였다. 즉 수술만 시행한 군, 수술전 방사선 치료 및 수술병합군, 수술과 수술후 방사선치료 병합 군으로 나눴다. 저자들의 예비적 (preliminary) 관찰 결과는 2 년간 무병생존율 (disease-free 2-year survival) 만을 볼때, 수술만 시행한 군에서 40%로써 통계학적으로는 가장 좋았으나 실제는 수술만 시행한 군에서는 단지 40%만이 제 4 병기(病期)의 진행된 경우였으나 수술전 방사선치료 또는 수술후 방사선치료등의 병합치료에서는 제 4 병기(病期)의 진행된 상태가 무려 60 %나 되었다. 전체적인 재발율 (Overall recurrence rate) 은 68.2%로써 무서울 정도로 높았으며 전체적인 2 년 무병율은 23.7%였다. 저자들은 이 분야에서 실패의 원인분석과 치료방법의 선택등에 대한 지침을 제시하고저 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of Telephone-enforced Preoperative Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise (TP-PFME) for prostate cancer patients on Urinary Incontinence (UI), Urinary Function (UF) related satisfaction, depression, and Quality of Life (QoL). Methods: A non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design was used with 85 participants. The two experimental groups (EG) began the PFME protocol two weeks prior to surgery. The subjects in the EG I received telephone calls to reinforce the PFME protocol. The comparison group began the PFME protocol after their surgery. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 21.0 using descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test, One-way ANOVA, Fisher's exact test, and Repeated measures ANOVA. Results: EG I showed higher performance of PFME at one (p=.001) and three months (p=.015) after surgery than the comparison group. Comparison group showed significantly more severe UI at one (p=.002) and three months (p=.006) after surgery and reported lower UF related satisfaction than EG I at one month after surgery (p=.015). Participants in both experimental groups reported higher QoL scores (p=.001) at three months following surgery than those in the comparison group. There were no significant differences in depression among the three groups. Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that preoperative TP-PFME was effective in decreasing the perceived severity of UI as well as increasing UF related satisfaction and QoL.

We described two cases of odontogenic keratocysts of the maxilla. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are jaw cysts with a proclivity for local invasion and recurrence. Clinically, OKCs are characterized by aggressive, local growth. The diagnosis of mandibular OKC is based on physical examination and plain film radiographic findings. However, histopathological confirmation is required to make the diagnosis with certainty. The molar regions of the mandible and maxilla are the principal primary locations. The maxillary antrum is also a common site. Initial therapy is typically enucleation with or without extraction of the associated teeth. Long-term follow-up is necessary because of the aggressive nature and recurrence rate of OKCs.

Introduction: A cyst is a closed pathologic sac containing fluid or semi-solid material in central region. The most common conventional treatment for a cyst is enucleation. It was reported that spontaneous bone healing could be accomplished without bone grafting. We are trying to evaluate bone reconstruction ability by analyzing panorama radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scan with retrograde studying after cyst enucleation. In this way we are estimating critical size defect for spontaneous healing without bone graft. Materials and Methods: The study comprised of 45 patients who were diagnosed as cysts and implemented enucleation treatment without bone graft. After radiograph photo taking ante and post surgery for 6, 12, 18, 24 months, the healing surface and volumetric changes were calculated. Results: 1. Spontaneous bone healing was accomplished clinically satisfying 12 months later after surgery. But analyzing CT scan, defect volume changes indicate 79.24% which imply incomplete bone healing of defect area. 2. Comparing volume changes of defect area of CT scan, there are statistical significance between under $5,000mm^{3}$ and over $5,000mm^{3}$. The defect volume of $5,000mm^{3}$ shows $2.79{\times}1.91$cm in panoramic view. Conclusion: Bone defects, which are determined by a healed section using a panoramic view, compared to CT scans which do not show up. Also we can estimate the critical size of defects for complete healing.

One or two mesiodens are mostly common to the clinician. However, three mesiodens is rarely found and can cause complications such as orthodontic problems or interruptions of the adjacent teeth with more than 1 or 2 mesiodens. Many factors cause irregularities in the permanent dentition. Mesiodens, especially in the anterior maxilla, can disturb the eruption of adjacent permanent teeth and cause diastemas, ectopic eruptions, root resorption, or the formation of dentigerous cysts. The early diagnosis of mesiodens is important for preventing such complications, and the timing of intervention should be based on their location and number. Periodic checkups and improved diagnostic devices make it easy to find mesiodens and associated complications. In this case, 3 supernumerary teeth in the maxillary anterior region were affecting the eruption of the adjacent permanent incisors. To minimize complications and preserve the deciduous teeth, the three supernumerary teeth were extracted in 2 steps. Since cone-beam computed tomography was not available, a brace wire was used to measure the depth of the mesiodens.

Severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia was developed in the 45-year-old man whose anterior mediastinal growing mass, which was proved later as the invasive thymoma, had been found 4 years ago. The hemoglobin level was 6.2g/dl and both the direct and indirect Coombs' tests were positive. Prompt remission of the hemolytic anemia was achieved by thymectomy combined with corticosteroid therapy. Two months after the discontinuation of corticosteroid therapy his hemolytic anemia was recurred. The patient currently has been followed up for 8 months with no signs of local recurrence or hemolytic anemia and he is still receiving 15 mg of prednisolone daily.

A long-term follow-up study of a case of impacted teeth associated with a large dentigerous cyst in the left maxilla is presented. The patient was a 30-year-old man who had a large dentigerous cyst in the premaxilla and left posterior maxilla, which impacted the canine and supernumerary tooth. This is one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with an erupted or developing tooth, particularly the mandibular third molars. The other teeth commonly affected in order of frequency are the maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and rarely, the central incisor. Radiographically, the cyst appears as huge ovoid well-demarcated unilocular radiolucency with a sclerotic border and causes ectopic displacement of the inferior border of the maxillary sinus without destruction. Dentigerous cysts may grow unnoticed to such extensive sizes as to occupy a considerable portion of the maxillary sinus. These cysts appear to be associated with a supernumerary tooth in the maxillary anterior incisors region called the mesiodens and impacted canine. The present case report describes the surgical enucleation of a dentigerous cyst involving the permanent maxillary left canine and mesioden. After surgery, left maxillary sinus recovered their normal size and apposition of bone was observed around the apex of the posterior teeth. During the subsequent years, there was no recurrence of the cystic lesion but the inflammation was evoked in the anterior maxilla after 42 months. This complication appeared to have correlated with bony healing in the enucleation site of the cyst. We report the healing status of a huge dentigerous cyst in the maxilla for 5 years with a review of the relevant literature.

Ameloblastoma is cytologically a benign tumor, but is clinically characterized by infiltrative growth and high recurrency. The criteria for surgical treatment of ameloblastoma has not yet established and it is generally accepted that ameloblastoma be treated differently based on clinical types. The purpose of this paper is to consider effectiveness of enucleation in large-sized intraosseous ameloblastoma that has treated more frequently by radical treatment. 39 cases of the intraosseous ameloblastomas were treated by enucleation in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Yonsei University, dental college from February 1990 to January 2001. 25 cases were selected because they were large in size that could produce facial disfigurement or pathologic fracture of jaws. They were radiographically characterized by the cortical bone that was expanded or eroded locally and histopathologically by 19 solid ameloblastomas and 6 intramural type of unicystic ameloblastomas. Among the 25 cases, 4 cases - 3 solid ameloblastomas and 1 intramural type of ameloblastoma - recurred. Recurrence rate was 16%. The compact bone which is not invaded by ameloblastoma was used as surgical margin of enucleation with accompanying chemical cauterization for killing the residual tumor cells. This may have been the reason for the low recurrence rate. So, it is considered that enucleation and long-term follow-up enable the large-sized intraosseous ameloblastomas that were characterized by almost destroyed cancellous bone and expanded or discontinued cortical bone to treat minimizing facial disfigurement and masticatory dysfunction and sociopsychological impact produced by radical treatment. I recommend that the large-sized intraosseous ameloblastomas without involvement to the surrounding soft tissues be first treated by enucleation.
