This study investigates three buildings arranged alongside at the same level, namely, the Josadang, the Buljojeon, and the Palsangjeon. Their backside is blocked by an embankment with an environmental condition unsuitable for wooden buildings. The pillar behind the Josadang had termite damage for which termite damage and environmental investigations had been conducted for the past four years. The termite damage was monitored four times using the termite detection dogs, and the environmental factors were surveyed 27 times, except during the winter season. As a result, the locations of the columns with a high frequency of responses from the termite detection dogs were found and damage was confirmed. According to the surface moisture content investigations, the surface moisture content was highest in the Josadang and lowest in the Buljojeon. After a statistical analysis, the mean, the median, and the mode values were compared. The difference between the mean and the median was found to be less, however, the mode varied significantly. The mode values of the Josadang and the Palsangjeon were 14.5% and 10.8%, respectively, higher than the 6.1% mode value of the Buljojeon. It was concluded that the temperature and the water content affected the termite damage, which increases if the temperature and the water content remain constant owing to the environmental factors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome of operative results in the impingement syndrome of the shoulder with and without the stiffness. Material and Method: Seventy-six patients who had the impingement syndrome without stiffness were evaluated, and treated with the subacromial decompression and 24 patients who had the impingement syndrome with stiffness, were treated with the subacromial decompression and the manipulation. The average follow-up period was 32 months. Result: The impingement syndrome of the shoulder with stiffness was more severe in the preoperative pain and worse in ASES score than without stiffness. The postoperative pain and ASES score improved in the both group. The satisfactory groups were 67% in the group with stiffness and 80% without stiffness. The satisfactory rate was 83% in the group with stiffness and 93% without stiffness. The satisfactory groups with diabetes were 47% in the group with stiffness and 81% without stiffness. Forward elevation, exeternal rotation at the side and internal rotation improved in both groups postoperatively and there were no statistically significant differences postoperatively External rotation was restricted statistically in the group with stiffness. Conclusion: Although patients may not regain the full range of motion, the technique of manipulation followed by arthroscopic subacromial decompression offers good pain relief and satisfactory functional recovery for the impingement syndrome with stiffness. However preoperative counseling is necessary for the impingement syndrome combined with diabetes and stiffness due to poor out come.

Purpose: To investigate the arthroscopic findings, and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the treatment of posterior internal impingement of the shoulder in baseball players. Materials and Methods: We followed up 5 cases who were diagnosed as posterior internal impingement for the mean 15 months. All of the cases complained of the pain in the posterior shoulder at late cocking, and were positive in the relocation test added by hyper-horizontal abduction at $120^{\circ}$ abduction of the arm. We sutured posterior labral tear and SLAP lesion arthroscopically, and conducted debridement for rotator cuff. Three cases were performed of anterior capsular plication and the other two were performed of thermal capsular shrinkage. Pain, range of motion, and level of return to sports activity were assessed for the results. Results: As to the arthroscopic findings, all the five cases showed the fraying in posterosuperior labrum, and two of them was accompanied with the flap tear in posterosuperior labrum and the other one was accompanied with type 2 SLAP lesion. All the cases showed the fraying in supraspinatus, and one case showed partial tear. Meanwhile, in all the cases, the rotator cuff was impinged to the labrum at $90^{\circ}{\sim}120^{\circ}$ of abduction and external rotation. As to the postoperative results, all the cases did not complain of pain or instability while pitching, and the competition was recovered to be the mean 88%($80{\sim}100%$) of that before the injury. Conclusion: Definite diagnosis for the posterior internal impingement would be possible through arthroscopic examination. Favorable outcomes could be obtained with capsular plication or shrinkage for anterior microinstability and stretching exercise for posterior capsule tightness inducing the internal impingement.

In this experiment, we are to know the administered radioactivity in the actual patients by measuring the remained radioactivity when administering the isotope with noted MDP, the radiopharmaceutical product, to 50 visited patients for the bone scan, confirmed the radioactivity administered to actual patients. We confirmed the actual administered amount of remained radioactivity in the syringe and 3-way by using a gauger after administering the isotope with MDP noted via 3-way with 50 patients maintaining 3-way after CT or MRI among the visited patients for the bone scan in the department of nuclear medicine. As a result of radioactivity in the 3-way and syringe pre and post injection of radiopharmaceutical products in 50 patients, average radioactivity of pre-injection is 31.75 mCi, average remained radioactivity in the syringes after injection is 1.22 mCi, and the average remained radioactivity in 3-way after injection is 0.95 mCi. The average of actual administered radioactivity is 29.57, so it is obvious that average 2.18 mCi was administered for less than the dosage that we initially intended to inject. When determining the dosage in view of the radioactivity that remains in the 3-way with the syringe, it would be possible to accurately dose the desired dosage to be administered to actual patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is possible to evaluate patients with pN2 or pN3 early gastric cancer (EGC) as being in an advanced stage before and during the operation. Materials and Methods: 4,430 patients underwent a gastrectomy for cancer from 1990 to 2003. Eight of the 552 patients with EGC included pN2 or pN3. The estimated clinical and surgical stage before and during the operation were compared to the pathological results, and a follow-up of progression was done. Results: The patients were evenly distributed among all age groups with seven men and one woman. The pre-operative estimate of T1 by CT was 25% (2/8). In the main, the cT stage was over estimated. The estimate of over N2 was 50% (4/8). One patient was preoperatively staged as la sT1 during operation was 57.1% (4/7), and the estimate of over N2 was 67% (4/6). Two patients were intraoperatively evaluated as Ia. Only one patient survived over 5 years, and the mean survival of these patients was 15 months $(95%\;Cl:\;0{\sim}35.5)$. Conclusion: It was generally possible to evaluate patients with EGC of over pN2 as being in an advanced stage before and during the operation. Although very rare (2/552, 0.04%), there were EGC patients whose stages were not predictable at all. Therefore, more precise preoperative and intraoperative staging methods are warranted.

Background: Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) can detect microembolic signals (MES) in the patients with a potential embolic source. Clinical significance of MES has not been demonstrated in patients with prosthetic mechanical heart valves. We studied the correlation between cerebral thromboemoblic events after the mechanical heart valve surgery (MHVS) and residual MES during TCD monitoring with 100% oxygen inhalation in patients with mechanical heart valves. Material and Method: Twenty patients with previous cerebral thromboemoblic events after MHVS and a sex- and age-matched control group (n=30) were studied. TCD monitoring was performed from unilateral middle cerebral artery. After baseline monitoring for 20 minutes, 61 of oxygen was inspired for 40 minutes. Result: The site of valve and the duration after MHVS of the patients did not differ from those of controls. During baseline monitoring, there was no significant difference in MES prevalence or counts compared to controls. During oxygen inhalation, patients showed a higher MES prevalence (55%, 27.6%, p=0.045) and a more frequent MES counts (p=0.027) compared to controls. Conclusion: TCD monitoring with oxygen inhalation may be useful to differentiate clinically significant MES in patients with mechanical heart valve.

Background: Aortic diseases tend to involve the entire aorta. Hence, there is the constant possibility of the need for a secondary operation at the remnant aorta. This study analyzed our cases of secondary aortic surgery in order to determine its characteristics and problems. Material and Method: Between April 2003 and June 2007, 12 patients (6 male and 6 female) underwent thoracoabdominal aortic replacement as a secondary aortic operation. Their clinical courses were analyzed. Four of the patients underwent lower thoracobadominal aortic replacement under the normothermic femorofemoral bypass, and the others underwent an entire thoracobdominal aortic replacement under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Result: There was no death or paraplegia. As local complications, there were 3 cases of wound infection and 2 cases of an immediate reoperation caused by bleeding and one case of delayed wound. revision for a contaminated perigraft hematoma. As a systemic complication, there was one case of renal insufficiency, which required hemodialysis and one case of respiratory insufficiency that needed prolonged ventilator care. The mean admission period was $30{\pm}21$ days. All the patients were followed up for $626{\pm}542$ days without reoperation or other problems. Conclusion: Using properly selected patients and a careful approach, thoracoabdominal aortic replacement can be performed safely as a secondary aortic surgery.

최근 임플란트를 원하고, 필요로 하는 환자가 증가하면서 술전의 정확한 진단이 보다 중요해졌고 다양한 진단방법이 소개되고 이용되어져 왔다. 그 중 보편적으로 가장 널리 사용되어지는 방법이 방사선 촬영법이고 그 중에서도 파노라마방사선사진이다. 하지만 파노라마방사선사진의 용이함과 간편성에도 불구하고 그 방법 자체가 가지고 있는 한계점 때문에 CT/MPR(Computer Tomography/Multiplanar Reformatting)이 일부 환자에서는 반드시 필요하다는 주장이 대다수이다. 본 연구의 목적은 하악 구치부에 임플란트 시술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율을 알아보고 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR에서 치조정-하악관간 거리가 실제 어느 정도 차이를 보이는지, 그리고 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 환자의 하악골의 경사도와 하악관의 해부학적 위치가 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 서울대학 치과병원 치주과를 내원하여 하악구치부에 Dental Implant 시술을 받은 15명의 환자, 32개 부위를 대상으로, 임플란트 시술을 위한 술전 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR, 술후의 파노라마방사선사진, CT/MPR상을 자료로, 임플란트가 식립될 위치에서 치조정에서 하악관의 길이, 하악골의 협설폭경, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관의 수평길이, 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리를 계측하였고 이 해부학적 계측치들이 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 어떤 상관관계에 있는지 Pearson's correlation coefficient test를 이용해 살펴보았다. 1. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골 단면의 협설폭경(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.604), 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.515), 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.640)와 뚜렷한 음적 선형관계가 있었다. 2. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 장축의 각도와는 뚜렷한 양적 선형관계(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.446)가 있었다. 3. 여러 요소중 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 가장 유의성있는 연관성을 보이는 것은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리였다(r=-0.640) 4. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 일반적으로 생각되어지는 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율 125%보다 큰, 약 135%로 나왔다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리가 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 가장 영향을 미치는 요소로 추정되며 확대율은 125%보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.
