This study examined the histochemical and physiological characteristics during Korean native Ogol chickens (KNOC) development. The body weight, Pectoralis major and soleus muscle weights, and muscle samples were taken at hatching as well as at 3, 5, and 15 weeks of age. The fiber characteristics of the Pectoralis major and soleus muscles from the KNOC at hatching to 15 weeks of age were determined, and the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and protein concentrations were measured from the left Pectoralis major muscles. A greater increase in body and muscle weights was detected between hatching and 3 weeks of age than during any other period. Moreover, the cross sectional area (CSA) of the fibers, as well as the total concentration of DNA, RNA, and protein also showed a greater increase betweenhatching and 3 weeks of age than during any other period. The KNOC breed is a dual purpose breed, however, the it has lower body and muscle weights than commercial meat type chickens or layer type chickens. Moreover, the KNOC breed has a small muscle fiber CSA of and a low nucleic acid concentration.

본 논문에서는 비등방성 확산 방법과 구조텐서를 이용한 유방 MR 영상에서 흉근을 자동 분할하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 영상에 포함되어 있는 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 비등방성 확산 방법을 적용한 후 영상의 국부적인 기울기 정보를 잘 나타내는 구조텐서를 이용하여 영상 진단 및 영상 정합 시불필요한 흉근 부분을 자동으로 분할하고자 한다. 실험결과에서 확인 할 수 있듯이 정확한 분할의 결과는 향후 컴퓨터 보조 진단 시스템에 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 구조텐서와 모폴로지 연산을 이용한 유방 MR 영상에서 흉근을 제거하기 위한 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 영상의 그레디언트 정보를 나타내는 구조텐서와 복잡한 구조텐서를 평활화하기 위한 모폴로지 연산을 적용하여 영상 진단 및 영상 정합시 불필요한 흉근부분을 자동으로 분할하고자 한다. 실험결과에서 확인할 수 있듯이 정확한 분할의 결과는 향후 컴퓨터 보조 진단 시스템에 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: Our purpose was to retrospectively analyze clinical results of subpectoral tenodesis of the proximal biceps tendon using an interference screw. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 23 cases of patients receiving tenodesis of the proximal biceps tendon between January 2008 and January 2009 for whom we had follow-up data for at least 1 year. Twenty-three cases were operated on using subpectoral tenodesis; 16 of these cases had a rotator cuff tear. The results were judged using a visual analog scale (VAS), ASES, tenderness on the biceps groove, fixation failure and the degree of deformity (BAD). Results: VAS and ASES scores were significantly improved in all patients by the time of the final observation. There were no significant complications or fixation failures. The patients without a tear of the rotator cuff had a better result than patients with a tear of the rotator cuff, but the difference between the two groups was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: In patients with pathology of the long head of the biceps brachii, benefits of subpectoral interference screw tenodesis include pain relief, maintenance of functional biceps, muscle strength, and cosmesis. Subpectoral biceps tenodesis using interference screw fixation appears to be a promising, reproducible, reliable technique for addressing anterior shoulder pain related to pathology of the long head of the biceps brachii.

A calf with derodidymus was delivered from a 3-year old Korean-native cow with abortion last ime at Jangheong area in Chonnam Province. The anomaly with body weight of 35 kg was born t the normal time of parturition. During the parturition, however, the calf with twin head was onfirmed and the complete amputation between fore and hind limb was inevitably carried out or safety of the dam. The calf had normal skeleton and extremities but had two heads and cervical vertebrae divided from upper thoracic part. At necropsy, there were found totally 3 pairs of ore limbs including two pairs of hypoplastic ones hided in the thoracic limb and also found one air of sternum. One head had incomplete torsion or unilateral hypoplasia of mandible with artly hypoplastic skull. There were marked fusion and torsion from cervical to 3rd thoracic vertebra. No abnormality was found on all organs in the pleural and abdominal cavities except a rectal stricture formed at 5 cm away from the atresia ani.

오골계의 초기성장 단계별 근육과 근섬유의 변화를 살펴보면 흉근 무게는 부화 직후에서 3주령까지 증가가 가장 뚜렷했으며 근섬유의 크기도 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 가슴 근육과 근섬유 변화는 오골계의 초기성장단계에 있어서 체중변화와 연관성이 높음을 확인하였으며, 핵산 함량 및 단백질 변이 분석을 통해 근육내 이화학적 변이 및 성장잠재력의 변이를 심도있게 분석할 수 있었다. 또한 가자미근의 경우 0주령에서 3주령까지developmental muscle fiber 의 감소 및 소진과 adult muscle fiber의 형성 및 증가도 각 개체의 체중, 근육의 무게, 성장특성 및 성장가능성과 연관성이 있어, 이후 오골계의 근육성장특성 분석 시 조직학적 분석기법의 활용도 및 이화학적 변이 분석의 참고자료 및 활용도가 클 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate the effect of mercuric chloride on the pectoral muscel cells during chick embryogensis, chicken embryos were treated with mercuric chloride. Monoclonal antibodies against myosin were prepared for the localization of differentiation of thick filaments detected by the use of protein A-gold complex as a cytochemical marker. The effect of mercuric chloride was appeared not only to be ascribed with the reduced formation of myofibrilogenesis but also associated with induced change of morphology by the inhibition of protein synthesis.

We at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center experienced simultaneous repair of pectus excavatum and secundum atrial septal defect We used resection deformed perichondrium, raising sternum at right angle to secure good operative field for open heart surgery. Mechanical ventilation was applied which could be weaned on postoperative 2 hours. The hospital course was uneventful without any other sequale. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 6.

Although posterolateral thoracotomy(PLT) has been a standard thoracic incision in resection surgery of the lung for surgeons to achieve a good surgical field, there remains concern about severing a group of thoracic muscles remains. Muscle-sparing vertical thoracotomy (MVT) is an alternative to PLT, which gives cosmetic result and may preserve motion of the shoulder girdle as well as respiratory function of the patient in the early postoperative period. However, surgeons tend not to perfer it because of limited surgical field from the vertical wound made on the lateral thoracic wall. The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of PLT versus MVT. We retrospectively reviewed 29 patients(15 who had PLT and 14 who had MVT, organized into those two groups) who had undergone lung resection surgery in our institute. There were no clinical differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, estimated amount of blood loss during the operation, amount of chest drainage on the first and the second postoperative day, duration of chest tube placement, incidence and amount of transfusion, and postoperative complications. We conclude that, from our limited experience, MVT can be applied to lung resection surgery as safely as PLT and that it may have a beneficial role for the patient with compromised lung function in addition to cosmetic effect.

Tuberculosis infection is wide spread disease and makes troublesome complications in some cases. A 50 - year old male visited Andong Hospital with coughing and sputum, dyspnea on exertion, bulging left anterior chest wall mass. Chest X-ray showed right pleural effusion, both side streaky infiltraion, and pleural thickness in apex. Chest CT scan showed bone destruction of left clavicle head, manubrium and large abscess pocket in pectoralis muscle. In May 1996 he underwent en bloc resection of left upper anterior chest wall including pectoralis major and minor muscle, left clavicle head, manubrium and covering infected skin, then contralateral pectoralis major muscle flap and skin graft was done. Patient shows no evidence of recurrence during follow up.
