Background Skin defects in the hands are common injuries, and autologous skin grafting is the ideal treatment. However, complications can occur at the donor and recipient sites. This study compares the "Swing-door" technique with conventional skin grafting. Methods From August 2019 to February 2023, 19 patients with skin defects of hand underwent the "Swing-door" split-thickness skin graft (STSG) technique. The thin epithelial layer was elevated with proximal part attached. Skin graft was harvested beneath. Donor site was then closed with epithelial flap like a "Swing-door". The outcomes were evaluated in terms of healing time, scar formation, and pain at the donor and recipient sites. The data were compared with the conventional STSG. Results The "Swing-door" group had lower graft take percentages, but complications did not significantly differ between the two groups. The "Swing-door" technique resulted in better cosmetic outcomes, as evidenced by lower Vancouver Scar Scale scores, faster donor site epithelialization, and reduced pain and discomfort during the early postoperative period, as measured by Visual Analog Scale. Conclusion The "Swing-door" STSG is a useful alternative for treating hand skin defects.

絹織物加工을 實需要者의 利用度를 增加시키기 爲해 多年間 여러 사람에 의하여 硏究되어 왔으나 天然織維이기 때문에 加工方式으로 性質을 變化시키기는 어려워서 滿足스러운 精度로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 實情에 있다. 絹織物加工은 勿論 그 缺點을 補强하는 同時에 商品的價値도 向上시키는데 目的이 있는데 때로는 有名商標가 品質以上으로 販賣를 左右하는 例도 많다. 特히 絹制品은 歡迎을 받지 못하고 있는 實情에 있다. 이러한 問題點을 解決하기 爲해 筆者는 多年間 硏究를 持績하여 왔든바 一般絹織物의 浸潤後 乾燥時間보다 半減된 時間에 乾燥되는 所謂 Wash and Wear絹加工方法의 開發을 하기에 이르렀다. 그리고 그 加工費用이 極히 經濟性인 탓으로 아무런 부담감 없이 加工處理할 수 있는 特徵을 갖이고 있었다. 1. 繭絲는 吐絲營繭曲線이 S字型으로 되어 있어 浸潤時에는 原狀復舊의 性質이 있어 屈曲狀態를 이룩하게 되어 本加工絹織物이 Wash and Wear이기는 하나 가벼운 다림질이 必要하였다. 2. 이러한 加工은 絹絲蛋白質의 變性을 加工過程에서 1% D.I.S.溶液에 3時間 處理하여 變性誘發시킴으로서 可能하였다. 3. 加工絹의 防皺度, 剛乾度를 洗濯回數를 反復하면서 調査하여 본 結果 未處理絹보다 惡化되지 않았다. 4. 未加工絹도 水洗, 乾燥를 反復하게되면 스스로 變性되는 事實을 알았다. 5. 處理絹과 未處理絹의 强力伸度面의 差異가 없었다.

이 실험은 견직물의 결함인 방추효과를 좋게 하기 위하여 견포에 Formaldehyde를 작용 시켰으며 이때 사용되는 $CH_3$COOH, CaC$_2$, HCHO, $Na_2$CO$_3$, NH$_4$OH, NaOH, NaHCO$_3$양과 반응액의 온도 및 시간의 변경에 따라 달라지는 견포의 W.R 효과를 측정하였다. 그리고 면과 Viscose rayon 포도 견포와 동시에 처리하여 비교시험 하므로서 가장 효율적인 견포의 주름저항성 개선조건을 모색한 결과 아래와 같은 결론에 도달했다. (1) 각 직포의 W.R 효과를 향상시킬 수 있는 최적의 온도는 견이 75$^{\circ}C$, 면이 35~43$^{\circ}C$이며 Viscose rayon포의 작용은 75$^{\circ}C$이하에서는 온도와 상관성이 없다. (2) 최적의 반응온도 처리로 인하여 견은 처리전보다 11.0%, 면은 33.4%의 W.R 효과를 향상시킬 수 있었다. (3) 견.면 및 Viscose rayon 포의 W.R 효과는 직물에 따라 최적의 반응시간이 존재한다. 즉 HAC Hydride를 사용한 최적 견은 60~90분, 면은 120분, Viscose rayon은 90분이었으며 HAC Anhydride를 사용한 경과 견은 60분, 면은 120분, 그리고 Viicose rayon은 40분이었다. (4) 최적의 반은시간에 의하여 견은 16.6%, 면은 25.0% 그리고 Viscose rayon은 13.3%의 W.R 효과를 향상 시킬 수 있었다. (5) 견과 Viscose rayon 포의 W.R 효과는 HAC Hydride를 사용하는 것 보다 Anhydride를 사용하는 것이 더욱 효과적이었다. (6) 반응정도에 있어서는 HAC Hydride를 사용하는 것 보다 HAC Anhydride를 사용하는 것이 더욱 빨랐다. (7) HCHO의 양에 의한 W.R 효과를 보면 건은 HCHO의 양이 10~14m1 때가, 면은 18m1 대가 그리고 Viscose rayon 포는 14~18m1 때가 가장 좋았으며 이때 견은 처리전 보다 8.3%, 면포는 21.5% 그리고 Viscose rayon 포는 7.0%의 W.R 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. (8) 최대의 W.R 효과를 위한 최적의 HCl 사용량은 견과 면포가 모두 14m1이며 견은 처리전 보다 22.2%, 면은 19.5%의 W.R 효과가 향상되었다. (9) 중화제로서 NaHCO$_3$ 4.2gr을 넣었을 때 견의 W.R는 83.3%, 면포는 61.1%로 가장 W.R 효과가 좋았다. 그러나 NaHCO$_3$를 더 이상 첨가하는데 따라 W.R 효과는 견.면포 모두 저하하였다. (10) 중화제로서 NaOH와 NH$_4$OH를 첨가하는 경과 첨가량이 증가하는데 따라 W.R 효과도 저하하나 첨가량이 어느 한계점(견 3.3ml, 면 3.3~6ml)을 지나 더욱 증가하면 W.R 효과도 다시 양호하여지는 현상을 볼 수 있었다. 이와같은 경향은 특히 견과 면포에서 현저하였으며, 이 결과로 보아 견과 면포는 반응액의 (H$^{＋}$)을 전부 중화시키고 남은 NaOH와 NH$_4$OH의 잔여(H$^{-}$)에서도 Formaldehyde와 작용할 수 있지 않는가 추측된다. (11) 견포는 Curing온도가 비교적 낮을 때 W.R 효과가 좋았고 면포는 높을 때 좋았다. (12) 이 실험의 결과 견포의 W.R를 94%RK지 (처리전보다 22% 증가)향상시킬 수 있었다는 점으로 보아 앞으로 견포의 W＆W 성을 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 충분히 보여주고 있다.

Purpose: The object of this study is to compare the patient satisfaction in the view of scarring, cost, and hospital stay between the conventional suture method and a method using Histoacryl$^{(R)}$ (2-N-butylcyanoacrylate) adhesive for treating facial lacerations in the emergency department. Method: This study is a randomized prospective trial, which was conducted from December 2009 to January 2010. The participants include 109 patients who visited the emergency room in Deajon Eulji Medical Center. The ages ranged from 1 to 59 (mean age of 18.7), and all had facial lacerations of less than 3 cm. In order to treat the facial lacerations, an emergency medicine doctor used tissue adhesive (2-N-butylcyanoacrylate, Histoacryl$^{(R)}$) for 41 patients in the experimental group, and a plastic surgeon performed conventional suturing for 68 patients in the control group. The ER-stay and the primary treatment fee were compared in the two groups, and the scarring was evaluated 10 to 11 months from suturing by using the Modified Hollander Method and the 10-cm scaled VAS (visual analogue scale: score 0=no scar, score 10=very severe scar) Result: The ER stay was 76 minutes for the experimental group and 107 minutes for the control group, showing that statistically significantly less time of 31 minutes was taken in the experimental group. The cost of the experimental group was 40000 won (50.1%) more expensive than the control group, with an average cost of 121900 won for the experimental group and 81200 won for the control group. As for scar evaluation, 10.56 months after suturing, the experimental group showed a better result with a score of 2.6 compared to a score of 3.4 in the control group; however, this difference was not statistically significant ($p$ <0.05). As to a detailed evaluation of scar characteristics, the experimental group had a statistically significantly better result in scar elevation, with a score of 0.6 compared to a score of 1.65 for the control group. Conclusion: If appropriate patients are selected, the method using tissue adhesive directly applied by an EM doctor not only decreases ER stay but also creates similar patients satisfaction, with statistically better result in scar elevation, compared to the conventional suture method; thus, ultimately general patient satisfaction is increased.

재동결 명태육의 냉동변성에 미치는 축합인산염처리의 영향을 밝히고져 북양산 냉동명태를 해동하여 fillet로 만든 후 sodium polyphosphate 및 sodium polyphosphate: sodium pyrophosphate(1:1, w/w) 용액에 농도별, 시간별로 침지처리하여 동결저장한 후 해동하였을 때의 육중에 흡수된 인산염량, free drip, expressible drip, drip중의 total solid, total nitrogen 및 DNA함량, 해동시의 fillet의 관능적품질 및 가열조리시 중량감소 등을 실험하여 육질변성의 정도를 비교 검토하였다. 1. 해결전 처리에 의한 육중의 인산염흡수량은 침지시간보다 처리액농도에 더욱 많은 영향을 받았으며, 본 실험 조건하의 전처리육의 인산염함량은 모두 FAO/WHO의 허용기준량이하였다. 2 Drip의 발생량은 육중의 인산염량와 역상관계를 나타 내었고 drip감소에 가장 효과적인 처리조건은 $10\%$, sodium polyphosphate액에 5분간 침지한 것으로 무처리때의 drip 량의 약 $14\%$ 였다. 3. Drip중의 total solid, total nitrogen 및 DNA 함량은 대체적으로 drip량에 비례하는 결과를 나타내었으며, 특히 DNA 감소에 미치는 축합인산염처리의 효과는 컸다. 4. 해동한 fillet의 관능적품질은 고농도처리액에 처리한 것은 광택이 있고, 육질은 강성이 있어 양호하였으나, 저농도액에 처리한 것 및 무처리의 것은 광택과 강성이 좋지 못 하였다. 5. 가열조리시의 감량은 고농도처리액에 장시간 처리한 것은 감량제어의 효과가 다소 있는 듯하였으나, 저농도액에 처리한 것을 그 효과를 인정할 수 없었다.

Objective : Brain metastases in primary breast cancer patients are considerable sources of morbidity and mortality. Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has gained popularity as an up-front therapy in treating such metastases over traditional radiation therapy due to better neurocognitive function preservation. The aim of this study was to clarify the prognostic factors for local tumor control and survival in radiosurgery for brain metastases from primary breast cancer. Methods : From March 2001 to May 2011, 124 women with metastatic brain lesions originating from a primary breast cancer underwent GKRS at a tertiary medical center in Seoul, Korea. All patients had radiosurgery as a primary treatment or salvage therapy. We retrospectively reviewed their clinical outcomes and radiological responses. The end point of this study was the date of patient's death or the last follow-up examination. Results : In total, 106 patients (268 lesions) were available for follow-up imaging. The median follow-up time was 7.5 months. The mean treated tumor volume at the time of GKRS was 6273 $mm^3$ (range, 4.5-27745 mm3) and the median dose delivered to the tumor margin was 22 Gy (range, 20-25 Gy). Local recurrence was assessed in 86 patients (216 lesions) and found to have occurred in 36 patients (83 lesions, 38.6%) with a median time of 6 months (range, 4-16 months). A treated tumor volume >5000 $mm^3$ was significantly correlated with poor local tumor control through a multivariate analysis (hazard risk=7.091, p=0.01). Overall survival was 79.9%, 48.3%, and 15.3% at 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. The median overall survival was 11 months after GKRS (range, 6 days-113 months). Multivariate analysis showed that the pre-GKRS Karnofsky performance status, leptomeningeal seeding prior to initial GKRS, and multiple metastatic lesions were significant prognostic factors for reduced overall survival (hazard risk=1.94, p=0.001, hazard risk=7.13, p<0.001, and hazard risk=1.46, p=0.046, respectively). Conclusion : GKRS has shown to be an effective and safe treatment modality for treating brain metastases of primary breast cancer. Most metastatic brain lesions initially respond to GKRS, though, many patients have further CNS progression in subsequent periods. Patients with poor Karnofsky performance status and multiple metastatic lesions are at risk of CNS progression and poor survival, and a more frequent and strict surveillance protocol is suggested in such high-risk groups.

본 연구에서는 상향류 혐기성 블랭킷 반응조를 이용한 침출수 처리시 입상활성탄과 입상슬러지의 첨가가 반응조의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. Control 반응조의 경우 식종물질로 혐기성 소화슬러지를 이용하였으며 GAC 반응조와 Granule 반응조의 경우 Control 반응조와 동일 방식으로 식종하였으며 단지 GAC와 입상슬러지를 소량 첨가하였다. Granule 반응조가 초기 운전기간 동안 가장 짧은 순응기간을 보였으며 GAC 반응조의 경우에도 운전초기에 만족할 만한 성능을 보였다. 그러나 활성탄의 흡착능이 소모됨에 따라 유출수 COD 농도가 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 반응조가 안정화된 후 GAC 반응조가 다른 반응조에 비해 약간 우수한 결과를 보였으며 모든 반응조의 COD 제거율은 수리학적 체류시간 1일에서 90% 이상을 나타내었다. 특히 GAC 반응조의 경우 COD 제거율의 변화 없이 유기물 부하 $4.0{\sim}8.2kg\;COD/m^3.d$에서 95%를 유지하였다. 소량의 입상슬러지 첨가에 의해 초기 운전기간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며 처리효율은 GAC 첨가에 의해 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has shown activity against melanoma brain metastases. Recently, promising results have also been reported for ICI combination therapy and ICI combined with radiotherapy. We aimed to evaluate radiologic response and adverse event rates of these therapeutic options by a systematic review and meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search of Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed up to October 12, 2019 and included studies evaluating the intracranial objective response rates (ORRs) and/or disease control rates (DCRs) of ICI with or without radiotherapy for treating melanoma brain metastases. We also evaluated safety-associated outcomes. Results: Eleven studies with 14 cohorts (3 with ICI combination therapy; 5 with ICI combined with radiotherapy; 6 with ICI monotherapy) were included. ICI combination therapy {pooled ORR, 53% (95% confidence interval [CI], 44-61%); DCR, 57% (95% CI, 49-66%)} and ICI combined with radiotherapy (pooled ORR, 42% [95% CI, 31-54%]; DCR, 85% [95% CI, 63-95%]) showed higher local efficacy compared to ICI monotherapy (pooled ORR, 15% [95% CI, 11-20%]; DCR, 26% [95% CI, 21-32%]). The grade 3 or 4 adverse event rate was significantly higher with ICI combination therapy (60%; 95% CI, 52-67%) compared to ICI monotherapy (11%; 95% CI, 8-17%) and ICI combined with radiotherapy (4%; 95% CI, 1-19%). Grade 3 or 4 central nervous system (CNS)-related adverse event rates were not different (9% in ICI combination therapy; 8% in ICI combined with radiotherapy; 5% in ICI monotherapy). Conclusion: ICI combination therapy or ICI combined with radiotherapy showed better local efficacy than ICI monotherapy for treating melanoma brain metastasis. The grade 3 or 4 adverse event rate was highest with ICI combination therapy, and the CNS-related grade 3 or 4 event rate was similar. Prospective trials will be necessary to compare the efficacy of ICI combination therapy and ICI combined with radiotherapy.

Statement of problem: Titanium and its alloy, with their excellent bio-compatibility and above average resistance to corrosion, have been widely used in the field of dentistry. However, the excessive oxidization of titanium which occurs during the process of firing on porcelain makes the bonding of titanium and porcelain more difficult than that of the conventional metal-porcelain bonding. To solve this problem related to titanium-porcelain bonding, several methods which modify the surfaces, coat the surfaces of titanium with various pure metals and ceramics, to enable the porcelain adhesive by limiting the diffusion of oxygen and forming the adhesive oxides surfaces, have been investigated. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to know whether the titanium-porcelain bonding strength could be enhanced by treating the titanium surface with gold and TiN followed by fabrication of clinically applicable porcelain-fused-to-titanium crown Material and method: The porcelain-fused-to-titanium crown was fabricated after sandblasting the surface of the casting titanium coping with $Al_2O_3$ and treating the surface with gold and TiN coating followed by condensation and firing of ultra-low fusing porcelain. To compare with porcelain-fused-to-titanium crowns, porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns were fabricated and used as control groups. The bonding strengths of porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns and porcelain-fused-totitanium crowns were set for comparison when the porcelain was fractured on purpose to get the experimental value of fracture strength. Then, the surface were examined by SEM and each fracturing pattern were compared with each other Result:Those results are as follows. 1. The highest value of fracture strength of porcelain-fused-to-titanium crowns was in the order of group with gold coating, group with TiN coating, group with $Al_2O_3$ sandblasting. No statistically significant difference was found among the three (P>.05). 2. The porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns showed the highest value in bonding strength. The bonding strength of crowns porcelain-fused-to-titanium crowns of rest groups showed bonding strength reaching only 85%-94% of that of PFG, though simple comparision seemed unacceptable due to the difference in materials used. 3. The fracturing patterns between metal and porcelain showed mixed type of failure behavior including cohesive failure and adhesive failure as a similar patterns by examination with the naked eye and SEM. But porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns showed high incidence of adhesive failure and porcelain-fused-to-titanium crowns showed high incidence of cohesive failure. Conclusion: Above results proved that when fabricating porcelain-fused-to-titanium crowns, treating casting titanium surface with gold or TiN was able to enhance the bonding strength between titanium and porcelain. Mean value of masticatory force was found to showed clinically acceptable values in porcelain bonding strength in all three groups. However, more experimental studies and evaluations should be done in order to get better porcelain bonding strength and various surface coating methods that can be applied on titanium surface with ease.
