Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether predicting maturation of the midpalatal suture is possible by classifying its morphology on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and to investigate relationships with other developmental age indices. Methods: The morphology of the midpalatal suture was assessed by using CBCT images of 99 patients. Axial plane images of the midpalatal suture were classified into five stages according to the classification scheme. To make the assessment more accurate, the morphology and fusion of the midpalatal suture were additionally investigated on coronal cross-sectional planar images and volume-rendered images. Bone age was evaluated using the hand and wrist method (HWM) and cervical vertebrae method (CVM); dental age (Hellman's index), sex, and chronological age were also assessed. To evaluate relationships among variables, Spearman's rho rank test was performed along with crosstabs using contingency coefficients. Results: The HWM and CVM showed strong correlations with the maturation stage of the midpalatal suture, while other indices showed relatively weak correlations (p < 0.01). Through crosstabs, the HWM and CVM showed high association values with CBCT stage; the HWM demonstrated slightly higher values (p < 0.0001). Based on the HWM, the midpalatal suture was not fused until stage 6 in both sexes. Conclusions: Among developmental age indices, the HWM and CVM showed strong correlations and high associations, suggesting that they can be useful in assessing maturation of the midpalatal suture.

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.

최근 철근콘크리트 골조 구조물에 대한 장기변형 특성을 고려하여 고층건물의 설계 및 시공에 적용하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서 고려하고 있는 시공단계는 reshoring을 고려하지 못하고 거푸집제거 및 shoring을 한 단계로 고려하기 때문에 동바리를 제거하기전의 초기재령에서 발생하는 변형을 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 동바리의 설치/제거를 포함한 실제적인 시공과정을 고려하여 거푸집의 강성, 동바리의 강성 그리고 시간에 따른 콘크리트의 강성의 변화에 따른 축력변화를 예측할 수 있는 2차원 골조해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 예제해석결과 동바리의 축력이 시간에 따라서 감소한다. 또한, 동바리의 개수와 상관없이 기둥과 동바리와의 축력 재분배에 의해서 외측기둥에는 실제 설계 값보다 비탄성 하중이 작게 작용하고 내측 기둥에서는 크게 나타난다. 한편, 프로그램의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 실제 철근콘크리트 골조 구조물을 타설-거푸집 제거-reshoring-동바리 제거-부가하중작용과 같은 일반적인 시공순서에 따라서 제작하였다. 실험결과 동바리를 제거하기 전에 기둥에 변형이 발생하며 동바리의 축력이 기둥에 분배되었다. 따라서 개발된 해석프로그램은 실험결과를 비교적 잘 예측하였다.

Purpose: Chronic tophaceous gout is a painful and disabling inflammatory disease. Surgical treatment for chronic tophaceous gout is very difficult with many complications. This study evaluated the efficacy of shortening scarf osteotomy on the treatment of chronic tophaceous gout in the 1st metatarso-phalangeal (MTP) joint. Materials and Methods: From January 2006 to December 2015, 14 patients (19 cases) who underwent axial shortening scarf osteotomy for chronic tophaceous gout were reviewed. All patients were male. The average age at the time of surgery was 59.6 years (42~66 years). The minimum follow-up was 24 months. Total removal of the tophi mass with the adhered medial capsule of the 1st MTP joint was attempted. Axial shortening scarf osteotomy was done on the 1st metatarsal shaft. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. The range of motion (ROM) of the 1st MTP joint was also compared pre- and postoperatively. Results: The average size of the extracted tophaceous mass was 32 mm. The mean amount of the length of metatarsal shortening was 4.9 mm. The mean ROM of the 1st MTP joint was improved from $30.4^{\circ}$ to $62.3^{\circ}$. The mean AOFAS forefoot score improved from 51.4 to 86.6 points. The mean VAS for pain improved from 4.6 to 0.3 points. Conclusion: The axial shortening scarf osteotomy used on chronic tophaceous gout could reconstruct the 1st MTP joint with an improved ROM and was free of pain. Axial shortening scarf osteotomy is suggested as a useful and effective method for the treatment of chronic tophaceous gout.

The possible relationship between pulmonary vascular pathologic changes and an increased pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary blood pressure has been the subject of investigation for many years. In an attempts to study the effects of increased pulmonary blood flow. long-term observations have been made in neonatal goats in which the total pulmonary vascular bed was restricted by means of ligation of left pulmonary artery, thereby diverting the total right ventricular output through the right lung. The left pulmonary artery and patent ductus arteriosus were ligated in 6 neonatal goats of under 3 weeks of age, and the goats were put to death at interval between 1 and 7 months of age. Pulmonary arterial development in both right and left lungs was studied by applying quantitative morphometric techniques, and compared with control group of goats between 1 and 6 months of age. The axial pulmonary artery and its branches were larger in the right lung than in the control group in all animals, and they were abnormally small in the left lung. In the right lung, arteries smaller than 50\ulcornerm showed abnormal increase in `% wall thickness’ in postoperative 2,3,5 and 6th months[p<0.05]. The proportion of non-muscular arteries was over 50% at postoperative 1st month in both right and left lungs, but an increase in proportion of partially muscular and wholly muscular arteries occurred thereafter. The ratio of alveoli/arteries was lower than normal in the right lung of postoperative 1st month[p<0.05], but was elevated thereafter. The failure to perfuse one pulmonary artery in neonatal goats changed growth and development of both lungs.

Eight patients with Ewing's sarcoma were treated between September 1983 and September 1992 at medical college, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Guro Hospital, Korea University. There were 5 males and 3 femails, with mean age of 28.2 years(ranging from 2-66 years). Three patients with soft tissue Ewing's tumor were excluded from the study. Of the eight patients, two patients presented with multiple metastasis, two cases occurred in the rib, and in the distal femur, mandible, scapular, 3rd, 4th thoracic spine in each patients. Chemotherapy alone was applied in 3 patients, radiotherapy alone in 1 patient, 2 patients were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Four patients died from the disease itself. Remissions were achieved in the other 4 patients. However, among them two patients relapsed 5 and 36 months later, I patient was not able to be followed, I patient died due to sepsis. The poor prognosis observed for patients with axial lesions should encourage other methods of managing these tumors.

목적： To evaluate the feasibility of the event-related functional MR study using power grip studying the hand motor system 대상 및 방법： Event-related functional MRI was performed on a 1.5T MR unit in seven norm volunteers (man=7, right-handedness=2, left-handedness=5, mean age： 25 years). A single-shot GRE-EPI sequence (TR/TE/flip angle： 1000ms/40ms/90, FOV = 240 mm matrix= 64$\times$64, slice thickness/gap = 5mm/0mm, 7 true axial slices) was used for functiona MR images. A flow-sensitive conventional gradient echo sequence (TR/TE/flip angl 50ms/4ms/60) was used for high-resolution anatomical images. To minimize the gross hea motion, neck-holders (MJ-200, USA) were used. A series of MR images were obtained in axial planes covering motor areas. To exclude motion-corrupted images, all MR images wer surveyed in a movie procedure and evaluated using the estimation of center of mass of ima signal intensities. Power grip task consisted of the powerful grip of all right fingers and hand movement ta used very fast right finger tapping at a speed of 3 per 1 second. All tasks were visual-guid by LCD projector (SHARP, Japan). Two tasks consisted of 134 phases including 7 activatio and 8 rest periods. Active stimulations were performed during 2 seconds and rest period were 15 seconds and total scan time per one task was 2 min 14 sec. Statistical maps we obtained using cross-correlation method. Reference vector was time-shifted by 4 seconds an Gaussian convolution with a FWHM of 4 seconds was applied to it. The threshold in p val for the activation sites was set to be 0.001. All mapping procedures were peformed usin homemade program an IDL (Research Systems Inc., USA) platform. We evaluated the activation patterns of the motor system of power grip compared to hand movement in t event-related functional MRI.

남극 드레이크 해협에서 작은 해양판으로 존재하는 피닉스판의 확장 작용 소멸 시기를 보다 명확하게 이해하고자 해령의 각 구역에서 체계적으로 채취된 현무암편을 대상으로 K-Ar 연대 측정을 실시하였다. 남서쪽 P3 구역 열극 사면 현무암의 K-Ar 연령은 3.5-6.4Ma이고 해령 축부 거대 화산체의 연령은 1.5-3.1Ma이다. 중앙의 P2 구역 열극 사면 현무암의 연령은 2.1 Ma이고, 축부 중앙고지대 현무암의 연령은 1.4-1.9Ma이다. 해령 축으로부터의 거리와 지체구조 특성에 기초한 확장작용 소멸시기는 P3 구역이 3.3Ma, P2 구역이 2.0Ma로 해석된다. 이 결과는 기존의 여러 지구물리 자료가 제시하는 '3.3Ma 동시 소멸설'과는 배치되며 해령의 P3 구역에서 P2 구역을 향해 확장작용이 단계적으로 소멸되었다는 것을 지지한다.
