최근 동위원소를 이용한 뼈 스캔 (Bone Scan)검사 후 골밀도 (BMD; Bone Mineral Density)검사를 당일검사로 병행한 경우 이로 인한 골밀도 측정값에 오차 발생 가능성이 제기되고 있으나 방사성의약품 표지화합물 투여 후 이중에너지 X선을 이용한 골밀도 측정값 변화에 대한 임상적 자료가 미비하여 핵의학 체내검사 후 당일 골다공증 검사의 측정값에 대한 논란의 소지가 있다. 따라서 동위원소 표지화합물인 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$가 골밀도 측정값에 영향을 미치는지 임상적 측면에서 실험하였다. 실험에 참가한 대상자의 평균 나이는 $35.17{\pm}9.45$세로 실험 대상자 17명 중 대사성 질환과 골밀도 측정에 영향을 줄 수 있는 허리뼈 압박골절 및 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 골절이 있는 자를 제외한 12명 중 정상 골밀도 T-scores>-1.0의 환자 6명을 대상으로 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ 투여 전 후 측정값을 분석한 결과 허리뼈에서 전 후 각각 평균 $0.975{\pm}0.084g/cm^2$, $0.966{\pm}0.078g/cm^2$으로 $0.009g/cm^2$ 증가, 우측 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈에서는 전 후 각각 평균 $0.909{\pm}0.078g/cm^2$, $0.913{\pm}0.086g/cm^2$으로 $0.004g/cm^2$ 감소, 좌측 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈에서는 각각 평균 $0.887{\pm}0.099g/cm^2$, $0.881{\pm}0.103g/cm^2$으로 $0.007g/cm^2$의 증가를 보여 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 보다 허리뼈에서 더 큰 골밀도 변화를 보여주었다. 그러나 허리뼈와 몸쪽 넓적다리뼈 전체에서 전 후 변화 평균은 $0.0038{\pm}0.014g/cm^2$으로 골밀도 측정값에 유의한 영향이 없음을 알 수 있으며, 또한 두 실험간 전체 상관계수는 0.987으로 방사성동위원소 표지화합물인 $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ 투여가 골밀도 측정값에 영향을 주지 않았다. 따라서 140 keV의 감마선 에너지를 방출하는 테크네슘 표지화합물을 이용한 뼈 스캔검사 후 골밀도 측정값에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다. 그러나 핵의학적 체내검사와 골다공증 검사를 당일로 검사함으로 인한 환자의 피폭을 고려한다면 시간 간격을 두고 검사를 시행하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the relationship among bone mineral density (BMD), body composition and osteoporosis self-efficacy and to identify predictors of BMD in female nursing students. Method: Participants were 154 nursing students. Osteoporosis self-efficacy was determined by a self-report questionnaire. BMD was measured by ultrasound bone densitometry and body composition by a body composition analyzer. Data were collected between April 1 and 27, 2013 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression with SPSS 18.0. Results: Mean BMD at the calcaneus site was $0.58{\pm}1.31$ (T-score). Incidence of osteopenia was 11.7%. Percentage of body fat (PBF)-defined obesity had higher prevalence than body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity. BMD had significant positive correlations with skeletal muscle mass (r=.226, p=.005) and fat free mass (r=.225, p=.005). The factor predicting BMD was skeletal muscle mass with 4.7% of explained variance. Conclusion: Study results indicate that of body composition components, skeletal muscle mass is the prime predicting factor for BMD. Thus to promote healthy bones, it is important to strengthen the muscles using a program, based on balanced development of all muscles.

The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of level of isoflavones supplementation on bone metabolism in osteoporosis rats. The effects of level of isoflavones supplementation on calcium and osteocalcin blood level, femur/body weight, bone mineral density(BMD) and bone strength were inspected in this study. This study classified 28 of 12 weeks-old male Sprague Dawley rats which have osteoporosis caused by ovariectomy into four groups of 7 rats and made the subjects medicated them isoflavone. Group I was non-treatment after osteoporosis(control); Group II was low-dose isoflavone(20 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; Group III was middle-dose isoflavone(40 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; Group IV was high-dose isoflavone(80 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; In the calcium and osteocalcin level as one of bone formation indexes, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. In respect to the femur/body weight, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. In the bone mineral density and bone strength test, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. The above results suggests that isoflavone medicated is effective to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

골밀도는 골다공증 진단에 중요하게 이용되고 있고, 치료 및 예방에 중요한 지표가 되고 있다. 그러나 골밀도는 피검자의 상태, 골밀도 측정기, 검사자 등에 의해 정밀도의 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 골밀도에 미치는 다양한 요인 중 요추 부위에 실질적인 영향을 일으킬 수 있는 장내가스, 음식, 물을 통하여 환자의 상태에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보고자 하였다. Aluminium spine phantom(ASP)을 이용하여 수조의 물 높이 변화와 가스의 유무에 따른 골밀도의 변화를 알아보았다. 또한 자원자를 대상으로 물이 증가하거나 음식물 증가에 의한 골밀도의 영향을 알아보았다. Aluminium spine phantom을 통한 골밀도 측정에서 수조의 물 높이가 증가함에 따라 골밀도가 감소하여 통계적으로 유의한 변화를 관찰하였다(p=0.026). 가스의 유무에 따른 골밀도의 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.587). 자원자를 대상으로 한 연구에서는 음식물의 유무에 따른 골밀도가 유의한 차이가 없었으며(p=0.812), 물의 유무에 따라서도 골밀도의 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.618). 따라서 요추부 골밀도 측정에서 골의 경계를 인지하는데 어려움이 없다면, 환자의 금식여부나 대장 내시경 검사 후에 시행하는 골밀도 검사는 골밀도에 큰 영향을 끼치는 인자가 아님을 알 수 있었다.

The structure of the femur bone was analyzed. Moreover, the mechanical strength of the bone was determined by considering two parameters, namely, the outer wall thickness and inner filling density to realize the 3D printing of a cortical bone and spongy bone by using a fused deposition modeling type 3D printer and ABS material. A basic experiment was conducted to evaluate the variation trend in the mechanical strength of the test specimens with the change in the parameters. Based on the results, the parameters corresponding to the highest mechanical strength were selected and applied to the artificial bone, and the mechanical strength of the artificial bones was examined under a load. Moreover, we proposed an approximation method for the 3D printing parameters to enable the comparison of the actual bones and artificial bones in terms of the strength and weight.

골밀도 감소는 골다공증의 발생과 골절 위험성 증가 등을 유발하기 때문에 사회적인 건강문제로 대두된다. 골다공증은 사전 예방이 매우 중요하며, 골밀도가 감소되는 중년기 이후보다 골밀도가 형성되고 최고로 발달되는 시기인 청년기에 적극적인 관리와 예방이 중요하다. 골밀도에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 유전적요인, 신체적요인, 환경적 요인 등이 있다. 최근, 사회분위기가 많이 바뀌면서 생활습관, 식습관 등이 이전과는 달라지고 있다. 그러므로 이 연구를 통해 사회 분위기 변화에 따른 젊은 층의 생활습관 변화가 골밀도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구는 동남보건대 재학생 중 여자 134명, 남자 75명(총 209명)을 대상으로 하여 골밀도 측정과 생활습관에 대한 설문조사를 병행하였다. 골밀도 측정은 이중에너지 X-ray 흡수장치(DEXA)를 사용하여 넙다리뼈 목(femoral neck)과 허리뼈(Lumbar spine, L1 ~ L4)부위를 측정하였다. 또한 생활습관에 대해서는 미리 작성한 설문지에 답하도록 하였다. 자료의 분석은 spss프로그램을 사용하였으며, 골밀도와 신장, 체질량지수의 관계는 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 음주, 흡연, 운동 유무 집단에서의 차이는 t-test를 이용하여 검정하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 체질량지수(BMI)에 따른 골밀도(BMD)의 비교에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 음주, 흡연과 골밀도(BMD)와는 특별한 상관관계가 없었다. 둘째, 카페인 섭취량에 따라 골밀도가 낮아지는 경향이 나타났고, 특히 여성에게서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 여성과 남성 모두 넙다리뼈 목에서 운동량과 통게적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 식사습관에 따른 골밀도의 관계에서는 여성의 허리뼈에서 유의한 관계가 있었으나, 남성의 허리뼈와 여성의 넙다리뼈에서는 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다(또한 다이어트와 골밀도도 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다). 그러므로 골다공증을 예방하기 위해서는 식후 1시간 이내에 카페인을 섭취하는 것을 삼가는 게 좋다. 또한 걷거나 뛰기 등의 운동을 지속적으로 하면서, 영양이 균형 잡힌 식사를 하는 것이 골다공증을 예방하는 데에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Suspending bisphosphonates (BPs) to reduce the risk and severity of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) remains controversial. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the clinical significance of BP suspension before surgery in osteoporosis patients with MRONJ. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 24 osteoporosis patients with MRONJ who were treated from 2012 to 2020 at Seoul National University Dental Hospital and compared the treatment outcomes of those who suspended BPs with those who did not. The number of surgical interventions, follow-up panoramic radiographs for relative bone density measurement, and laboratory blood tests including white blood cells, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, absolute neutrophil count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and alkaline phosphatase were analyzed. ANOVA, Student's t-test, and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare results. Fisher's exact test was used to discover the association between treatment outcome and BP suspension, and Pearson's correlation test was used to measure the statistical relationship between the changes in serum inflammatory markers. Results: The number of interventions was significantly higher in the non-drug suspension group due to recurrence (P<0.05). The relative bone density in patients who suspended BPs was significantly different over time (P<0.05), with the highest density at one-year follow-up. Fisher's exact test shows an association between successful treatment outcomes and BP suspension. The alkaline phosphatase and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels decreased significantly in the BP-suspended group, and a positive correlation was found between these elevated markers. Conclusion: A significant increase in bone density throughout follow-up and a lower number of interventions were found in the BP suspension group compared to the non-drug suspension group. Also, BP suspension decreased inflammatory markers in the serum after surgery, resulting in good treatment outcomes. BP suspension is a prognostic factor for MRONJ and should be implemented before surgery.

Purpose: Distinguishing different types of implants and assessing the position and size of implants by radiologic exam after orbital wall reconstruction is important in determining the surgery outcome and forecasting prognosis. We observed time-dependent density changes in three types of implants (porous polyethylene, resorbing plate and titanium mesh plate) by performing facial bone CT after orbital wall reconstructions. Methods: A total of 32 patients, who had underwent orbital wall fracture surgery from October 2006 to March 2009 and received facial bone CT as outpatients at 1 postoperative year were included in the study. Follow-up facial bone CT was performed on the patients pre- operatively, 1 month post-operatively, and 1 year post-operatively to observe the status of the orbital implants. Medpor $^{(R)}$ (Porex Surgical, Inc., Newnan, Ga.) was used as porous polyethylene and followed-up in 14 cases; for resorbing plate, Synthes mesh plate (Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland) was used in the reconstruction, and followed-up in 11 cases; and titanium mesh plate usage was followed-up in 7 cases. Computed tomographic scan (CT) and water's view were done for radiography, and hounsfield unit (HU) was used to compare density of those facial bone CT. Wilcoxon signed rank test was applied to statistically verify measurement difference in each group of hounsfield units. Results: Facial bone CT examination performed in 1 month post-operative showed that the density of porous polyethylene, resorbing plate and titanium mesh plate were -42.07, 105.67 and 539.48 on average, respectively. Among the three types of implants, titanium mesh plate showed the highest density due to its radiopaque feature. Following up the density of three types of implants in CT during 1 year after the orbital wall fracture surgery, the density of porous polyethylene increased in 10.52 House Field Units and the resorbing plate was decreased in 26.87 HouseField Units. There were no significant differences between densities in 1 month post-operatively and 1 year post-operatively in each group ($p{\geq}0.05$). Conclusion: We performed facial bone CT on patients with orbital fractures during follow-up period, distinguishing the types of implants by the different concentration of implant density, and the densities showed little change even at 1 year post-operative. To observe how implant densities change in facial bone CT, further studies with longer follow-up periods should be carried out.
