A bone island represents a focus of mature compact bone within the cancellous bone. It can be diagnosed based on characteristic clinical and radiologic features. The lesion is typically asymptomatic with a preference for the pelvis, femur, and other long bones. On the radiologic study, the lesion appears as an ovoid, round, or oblong homogeneously dense and sclerotic focus in the cancellous bone. Characteristic feature of this lesion is radiating bony streaks, known as "thorny radiations" or "pseudopodia". Most bone islands are small, and majority of the lesions measure from 0.1 to 2.0 cm. Giant bone island, defined as a diameter greater than 2 cm, has been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of giant bone island measured by 10${\times}$1.7${\times}$1 cm in the diaphysis of right tibia in 31-year-old man.

This paper reports the morphological nature of the remodelled interface process between implants and surrounding bone after 1, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks of implantation of smooth machined implants into rat tibias. After 4 weeks of implantation, histochemical analysis showed that the new bone was growing in direct contact with the implant. In the forming process, the activatived osteoblast cells migrated toward the interface and colonized the surface at the contact areas. This immature woven bone, rich in osteocyte lacunae, was deposited directly onto the implant surface. Osteoblast activity was found to continue ill 12 weeks of implantation The osteoblasts in lacunar areas developed numerous processes and synthesized bone matrix, after all, surrounded by secreting matrix. At the 12th week, the amount of newly formed bone matrix between bone and implant increased in mineralization. The mineralized mature bone contained well organized collagen fibers with characteristic banding pattern bone tissue formation around the implant.

In this study, we perform 3-D reconstruction of human proximal femur from DICOM files by using voxel mesh algorithm. After 3-D reconstruction, the model converted to Finite Element model which developed for automatically making not only 3-D geometrical model but also FE model from medical image dataset. During this job, trabecular pattern, one of characteristic of human bone can be added to the model by means of giving it's own elastic property calculated from intensity in CT scanned image to the each voxel. And then another model is made from same image dataset which have two material properties - one corresponds to cortical bone, another to trabecular bone. Finally, validity of voxel mesh technique is verified through comparing results of FE analysis, free vibration and stress analysis.

PURPOSE. The aim of present study was to identify characteristic and response of mouse bone marrow (BM) derived low-adherent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) obtained by quantification of extracellular matrix (ECM). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Non-adherent cells acquired by ECM coated dishes were termed low-adherent BMMSCs and these cells were analyzed by in vitro and in vivo methods, including colony forming unit fibroblast (CFU-f), bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), multi-potential differentiation, flow cytometry and transplantation into nude mouse to measure the bone formation ability of these low-adherent BMMSCs. Titanium (Ti) discs with machined and anodized surfaces were prepared. Adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs were cultured on the Ti discs for testing their proliferation. RESULTS. The amount of CFU-f cells was significantly higher when non-adherent cells were cultured on ECM coated dishes, which was made by 7 days culturing of adherent BMMSCs. Low-adherent BMMSCs had proliferation and differentiation potential as adherent BMMSCs in vitro. The mean amount bone formation of adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs was also investigated in vivo. There was higher cell proliferation appearance in adherent and low-adherent BMMSCs seeded on anodized Ti discs than machined Ti discs by time. CONCLUSION. Low-adherent BMMSCs acquired by ECM from non-adherent cell populations maintained potential characteristic similar to those of the adherent BMMSCs and therefore could be used effectively as adherent BMMSCs in clinic.

Metastatic thyroid carcinoma in bone shows characteristic expansile, trabeculated lysis on radio-gram. The ordinary scintigraphy manifests with a simple photopenic defect. We were able to portray trabeculation within photopenic defects. We present papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma, one each, pinhole bone scintigraphic findings of which are cold area with septated increased uptake at the iliae bone. These findings correspond very well with their X-ray pictures.

Statement of problem: Standard type of ITI solid implant model in the 6.2mm thick jaw bone was axisymmetrically modelled for finite element stress analyses. Purpose: Primary objective was to investigate the influences or the characteristic design configuration of the ITI solid implant model on the bone stress with the course of osseointegration process at the bone/implant interfaces. To simulate the characteristics of the osseointegration process, five different stages of the bone/implant interface model were implemented. As load conditions, vertical load of 50N was taken into consideration. Bone at the cervical region of implant was the areas of concern where the higher level of stress were likely to take place. Results: The results indicated that rather slightly different stress level could be obtained as a function of the osseointegration conditions. Conclusion: Under vertical load, the lower level of stress was observed at the cervical cortical bone in the initial and final stages of osseointegration. Relatively higher stress level, however, was observed during the transitional stages where the osseointegration at the cancellous bone interface were yet to fully develop.

Purpose: The aim of present study is to detect longitudinal alterations of mechanical characteristic determined by bone quality (microarchitecture and degree of mineralization) on femur trabecular bone due to metastatic bone tumor Materials and Methods: Each 6 female SD rats (12 weeks old, approximate 250g) were allocated in SHAM and TUMOR Group. W256 (Walker carcinosarcoma 256 malignant breast cancer cell) was injected into the right femur (intraosseous injection) in TUMOR Group, whereas 0.9% NaCl (saline solution) was injected in SHAM Group. The right hind limbs of all rats were scanned by in-vivo micro-CT to acquire structural parameters, bone mineral density, X-ray attenuation and bone mineralization distribution at 0 week and 4 weeks after surgery. Results: BMD, BV/TV and Tb.N of trabecular bone in TUMOR group were markedly decreased (26%, 11% and 23%) while those in SHAM group were significantly increased (34%, 48% and 11%) (p<0.05). BS/BV, Tb.Sp and SMI in TUMOR group were significantly increased (-16%, 38% and 2%) compared with those in SHAM group (-33%, 12% and -16%) (p<0.05). Additionally, bone mineralization in TUMOR group significantly decreased while those in SHAM group was significantly increased (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is identified that how much bone microarchitecture and mineralization are diminished due to the metastatic bone tumor. The results may be helpful to prediction of fracture risk by metastatic bone tumor.

Analysis of major nutritional components and Sensory evaluation in two kinds of beef bone stocks (White & Brown) have been Carried out in this study, these stocks were prepared with four different parts of beef bone (Knee bone, Rumpbone, Legbone, Backbone). White bone stocks were made of each beef bone boiling in water & hours, while brown bone stocks were prepared with roasted beef bone in the oven at $230^{\circ}C$ for half an hour and boiled 8 hours with water. Fatty acids were determined by GLC (Gas Lipids Chromatogram), the minerals were analysed by Automic spectrometer. The results of these analysis were obtained as followes; 1. Neutral lipids was gradually becreased, and glycolipids phospholipids were increased in quantity in Brown stocks for 8 hours. Unsaturated fatty accid of Brown stocks was highly decreased due to roasting of bores in the oven at 23$0^{\circ}C$ for half an hour. But they appeared in large quantity in white stocks. 2. The minerals also contained of high percentage in almost Brown stock except backbone Stock 3. Four materials (Kneebone, Rumpbone, Legbone, and backbone) were used for this study and the paired comparison of flavor test presented the recognition of different flavor at 5% level of Least Significant Difference (LSD) on brown stocks (Kneebone, and Legbone). Ranking preference test showed that white Kneebone stock and brown legbone stock had good taste.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the typical sites and patterns of peri-implant bone defects on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, as well as to evaluate the detectability of the identified bone defects on panoramic images. Materials and Methods: The study population included 114 patients with a total of 367 implant fixtures. CBCT images were used to assess the presence or absence of bone defects around each implant fixture at the mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual sites. Based on the number of defect sites, the presentations of the peri-implant bone defects were categorized into 3 patterns: 1 site, 2 or 3 sites, and circumferential bone defects. Two observers independently evaluated the presence or absence of bone defects on panoramic images. The bone defect detection rate on these images was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results: Of the 367 implants studied, 167 (45.5%) had at least 1 site with a confirmed bone defect. The most common type of defect was circumferential, affecting 107 of the 167 implants(64.1%). Implants were most frequently placed in the mandibular molar region. The prevalence of bone defects was greatest in the maxillary premolar and mandibular molar regions. The highest kappa value was associated with the mandibular premolar region. Conclusion: The typical bone defect pattern observed was a circumferential defect surrounding the implant. The detection rate was generally higher in the molar region than in the anterior region. However, the capacity to detect partial bone defects using panoramic imaging was determined to be poor.
