골다공증 진단 시 대퇴부위와 요추부위에서 골다공증에 대한 진단의 일치율을 파악하여, 측정부위선정과 관련된 오류를 조사하고 올바른 골다공증 진단에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 국민건강영양조사 원시자료 중 제5기 1,2차년도를 사용하여 50세 이상 남성 1,637명, 여자 2,128명을 대상으로 하였다. 요추 및 대퇴부의 골다공증 유무와 골다공증 의사진단여부와의 일치율을 파악하기 위해 kappa test를 사용하였다. 여자는 요추와 대퇴부 모두에서 골다공증 진단의 일치를 보였으며, 요추가 대퇴부보다 진단 일치율이 높았다. 남성은 요추에서만 골다공증 진단의 일치를 보였다. 골밀도는 연령증가에 따라 변화되고 부위에 따라 서로 차이가 있으므로 골밀도 측정시 요추와 대퇴골에서 모두 측정을 해야 하며, 특히 요추를 중심으로 진단을 하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.

Statement of problem. Primary implant stability has long been identified as a prerequisite to achieve osseointegration. So the application of a simple, clinically applicable noninvasive test to assess implant stability and osseiointegratation are considered highly desirable. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ISQ value and the insertion torque of the 3 different implant system, then to evaluate whether there was a correlation between ISQ value and insertion torque; and to determine whether implant design has an influence on either insertion torque or ISQ value. Material and method. The experiment was composed of 3 groups: depending on the implant fixture design. Group1 was Branemark type parallel implant in $3.75{\times}7mm$. Group2 was Oneplant type straight implant in $4.3{\times}8.5mm$. Group3 was Oneplant type tapered implant in $4.3{\times}8.5mm$. Depending on the density of the bone, 2 types of bone were used in this experiment. Type I bone represented for cortical bone, type II bone represented for cancellous bone. With the insertion of the implant in type I and type II bone, the insertion torque was measured, then the ISQ value was evaluated, and then the correlation between insertion torque and ISQ value was analyzed Result and conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. Within the 3 different implants, the insertion torque value and ISQ value were higher in type I bone, when compared with type II bone.(p<0.05) 2. In type I and type II bone, Oneplant type tapered implant has the highest value in insertion torque.(p<0.05) 3. In type I and type II bone, there was no difference in ISQ values among the 3 types of implant. (p>0.05) 4. Significant linear correlation was found in $Br{\aa}nemark$ type parallel implant: $3.75{\times}7mm$ in type II bone.

PURPOSE. This study was performed to characterize the effects of zirconia coated with calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite compared to smooth zirconia after bone marrow-derived osteoblast culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured on (1) smooth zirconia, (2) zirconia coated with calcium phosphate (CaP), and (3) zirconia coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). The tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT test) was used for cell proliferation evaluation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured to evaluate the cellular morphology and differentiation rate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed for the analysis of surface chemistry. The genetic expression of the osteoblasts and dissolution behavior of the coatings were observed. Assessment of the significance level of the differences between the groups was done with analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS. From the MTT assay, no significant difference between smooth and surface coated zirconia was found (P>.05). From the SEM image, cells on all three groups of discs were sporadically triangular or spread out in shape with formation of filopodia. From the ALP activity assay, the optical density of osteoblasts on smooth zirconia discs was higher than that on surface treated zirconia discs (P>.05). Most of the genes related to cell adhesion showed similar expression level between smooth and surface treated zirconia. The dissolution rate was higher with CaP than HA coating. CONCLUSION. The attachment and growth behavior of bone-marrow-derived osteoblasts cultured on smooth surface coated zirconia showed comparable results. However, the HA coating showed more time-dependent stability compared to the CaP coating.

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce an in vivo hybrid multimodality technique involving the coregistration of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) to concomitantly visualize and quantify mineralization and vascularization at follow-up in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Three adult female rats were randomly assigned as test subjects, with 1 rat serving as a control subject. For 20 weeks, the test rats received a weekly intravenous injection of 30 ㎍/kg zoledronic acid, and the control rat was administered a similar dose of normal saline. Bilateral extraction of the lower first and second molars was performed after 10 weeks. All rats were scanned once every 4 weeks with both micro-CT and HR-MRI. Micro-CT and HR-MRI images were registered and fused in the same 3-dimensional region to quantify blood flow velocity and trabecular bone thickness at T0 (baseline), T4 (4 weeks), T8 (8 weeks), T12 (12 weeks), T16 (16 weeks), and T20 (20 weeks). Histological assessment was the gold standard with which the findings were compared. Results: The histomorphometric images at T20 aligned with the HR-MRI findings, with both test and control rats demonstrating reduced trabecular bone vasculature and blood vessel density. The micro-CT findings were also consistent with the histomorphometric changes, which revealed that the test rats had thicker trabecular bone and smaller marrow spaces than the control rat. Conclusion: The combination of micro-CT and HR-MRI may be considered a powerful non-invasive novel technique for the longitudinal quantification of localized mineralization and vascularization.

For a chi-squared test, which is a statistical method used to test the independence of a contingency table of two factors, the expected frequency of each cell must be greater than 5. The percentage of cells with an expected frequency below 5 must be less than 20% of all cells. However, there are many cases in which the regional expected frequency is below 5 in general small area studies. Even in large-scale surveys, it is difficult to forecast the expected frequency to be greater than 5 when there is small area estimation with subgroup analysis. Another statistical method to test independence is to use the Bayes factor, but since there is a high ratio of data dependency due to the nature of the Bayesian approach, the low expected frequency tends to decrease the precision of the test results. To overcome these limitations, we will borrow information from areas with similar characteristics and pool the data statistically to propose a pooled Bayes test of independence in target areas. Jo et al. (2021) suggested hierarchical Bayesian pooling models for small area estimation of categorical data, and we will introduce the pooled Bayes factors calculated by expanding their restricted pooling model. We applied the pooled Bayes factors using bone mineral density and body mass index data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in the United States and compared them with chi-squared tests often used in tests of independence.

The direction of the applied load and displacement rate on the femur during falls may be an important factors in the etiology of hip fractures. Nonetheless, previous studies did not consider these two factors simultaneously for falling condition. Therefore, in the present study, an impact test system is developed to simulate the falling condition and the influence of impact angle on the deformation pattern changes of proximal femur is investigated. The results showed that a slight variation in impact angle quite affects deformation pattern of the proximal femur. Along with bone mineral density and trabaecular morphology, the impact angle can be another important factor affecting the structural capacity of the proximal femur.

골밀도검사는 건강관리에 인식이 높아지면서 매년 증가되고 있으며, 골밀도 측정은 여러 가지 방법이 있으나 그 중 정밀도와 정확도 및 의료피폭이 적은 이중 에너지 방사선 흡수법(Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry : DEXA)이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 골밀도의 변화를 관찰하기 위해서는 최초 검사 후 보통 1년 단위로 추적검사가 이루어지는데 정확한 비교를 하기 위해서는 환자의 자세가 최초검사와 추적검사 시 동일해야한다. 본 논문은 개선전과 후의 검사자에 대한 검사시간, 사전스캔건수의 차이, 검사 시 해부학적 위치의 촉지 및 시트의 사용 유무에 따른 시간 변화 및 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하였을 때 사전 스캔의 건수 및 검사시간이 단축되었고 피폭선량이 감소되었으며 이를 수검자 1인으로 환산하면 검사시간은 52초, 평균 사전 검사 건수는 0.79회, 피폭선량은 $13{\mu}Sv$로 단축되었다. 따라서 골밀도 검사 시 환자 자세의 변경을 최소화하고 올바르고, 정확하고, 쉬운 방법을 적용하여 검사 처리 능력의 증가와 함께 수검자의 불필요한 피폭선량을 감소하여 국민 건강관리의 일환인 의료 피폭을 줄이기 위함이다.

Purpose: This study was implemented to investigate the level of awareness of osteoporosis among urban women. Methods: A survey was conducted with a sample size of 434 adult females who resided in metropolises in Korea such as Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Pusan, Gyeongsangnam-do, Kangwondo, Jeju-do and Jeollanam-do. Osteoporosis Awareness Scale was consisted of five areas with total number of 31 questions. The questionnaire's scale was 1 to 4 point, 4 point being the highest understanding level. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics method. Results: The average awareness level of subjects was 2.38 and significant different depending on participants' age, education level, previous encounter with any information about osteoporosis, preventive behavior of osteoporosis, bone mineral density test, fracture history, diet control experience, and regular exercise. In osteoporosis awareness level by five areas, preventive behaviors 2.76 resulted in the highest score and characteristics of osteoporosis 2.51, bone physiology 2.46, improving bone health 2.38, and risk factors 1.80 followed respectively. Conclusion: We should implement bone health programs from a various perspective in order to raise women's osteoporosis awareness. In addition, We need follow-up studies on whether or not the increase on awareness level actually would result in changing in their behavior.

목 적 : 소아 천식에서 흡입용 스테로이드의 장기간 사용이 골밀도와 골대사에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 고려대학교 안암병원 소아청소년과에서 천식으로 진단되어 최소 6개월 이상 ICS를 사용 중인 만 6세에서 12세 사이의 환아(ICS군: 26명)를 대상으로 하였다. 대조군으로 연령 및 성별이 일치하면서 LTRA만을 사용한 천식 환아(LTRA군: 15명)와 골밀도에 영향을 미칠 만한 기저 질환이 없는 정상 소아(정상군: 30명)를 선정하여 이중 에너지 X-선 흡수법으로 요추와 대퇴골 상부에서 골밀도를 측정하고, 골대사에 대한 영향은 혈청 골-특이 알칼리인산효소(BALP)를 측정하여 평가하였다. 결 과 : ICS군의 요추 골밀도는 $0.57{\pm}0.07g/cm^2$으로 LTRA군($0.55{\pm}0.06g/cm^2$) 및 정상군($0.58{\pm}0.07g/cm^2$)과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고(P=0.254), 대퇴골 상부의 골밀도도 ICS군에서 $0.70{\pm}0.07g/cm^2$로 LTRA군($0.66{\pm}0.06g/cm^2$)및 정상군($0.70{\pm}0.07g/cm^2$)과 유의한 차이가 없었다(P=0.297). 골밀도 Z-점수 또한 세 군에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(요추: ICS군 $-0.22{\pm}0.78$ vs. LTRA군 $-0.16{\pm}0.47$ vs. 정상군 $-0.19{\pm}0.83$, P=0.963; 대퇴골 상부: ICS 군 $-0.12{\pm}0.93$ vs. LTRA군 $0.16{\pm}0.59$ vs. 정상군 $-0.04{\pm}0.67$, P=0.560). 혈청 BALP 농도는 ICS군과 LTRA군에서 정상군에 비해 유의하게 높은 소견을 보였다(P=0.021). ICS군에서 ICS의 최근 6개월간 사용량, 총 축적 용량, 사용 기간, 투여 시작 연령과 골밀도 Z-점수는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다(모두 P>0.05). 결 론 : 천식 환아에서 저용량의 ICS 사용은 골밀도에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하여, ICS의 부작용에 대한 과도한 우려를 막고 치료 순응도를 높이는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각한다.
