침습적 Pseudomonas 감염은 대개 면역 저하 환자들에서 발생하며, 이는 높은 사망률과 관련이 있다. 그러나 드물게는 면역력이 정상인 숙주에서도 발생할 수 있다. 첫 번째 증례는 괴저성 농창과 Pseudomonas 패혈증이 발생한 5개월 여아이며, 두번째 증례는 9개월 남아에서 지역사회 감염으로 발생한 폐렴과 Pseudomonas 패혈증이다. 두 환아 모두에서 녹농균이 배양검사로 증명되어 감수성 있는 항생제를 사용하였으며, T 림프구, B 림프구, 보체, 식세포 등 면역력에 대한 검사는 모두 정상이었다. 저자들은 이전에 건강했던 영아들에서 발생한 침습성 녹농균 감염증 2례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose : To evaluate clinical usefulness of facial soft tissue thickness measurement using 3D computed tomographic images. Materials and Methods : One cadaver that had sound facial soft tissues was chosen for the study. The cadaver was scanned with a Helical CT under following scanning protocols about slice thickness and table speed; 3 mm and 3 mm/sec, 5 mm and 5 mm/sec, 7 mm and 7 mm/sec. The acquired data were reconstructed 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 mm reconstruction interval respectively and the images were transferred to a personal computer. Using a program developed to measure facial soft tissue thickness in 3D image, the facial soft tissue thickness was measured. After the ten-time repeation of the measurement for ten times, repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was adopted to compare and analyze the measurements using the three scanning protocols. Comparison according to the areas was analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. Results : There were no statistically significant intraobserver differences in the measurements of the facial soft tissue thickness using the three scanning protocols (p>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between measurements in the 3 mm slice thickness and those in the 5 mm, 7 mm slice thickness (p>0.05). There were statistical differences in the 14 of the total 30 measured points in the 5 mm slice thickness and 22 in the 7 mm slice thickness. Conclusion : The facial soft tissue thickness measurement using 3D images of 7 mm slice thickness is acceptable clinically, but those of 5 mm slice thickness is recommended for the more accurate measurement.

지방색전증은 주로 근 골격계 외상 후 발생하는 호흡기계, 신경계 및 피부 출혈성 반점을 특징으로 하는 질환으로 정확한 병인기전은 잘 모르는 상태이나 대개는 위험요소를 가지고 있는 경우에 발생하며 진단방법으로 조직 검사 외에 폐포세척술이나 폐동맥카테터를 이용한 지방체의 존재 증명법 등이 연구되고 있다. 치료는 대부분 보존적 치료가 행해지고 있다. 연자들은 특별한 위험요소 없이 건강하게 지내던 중년의 성인여성에서 발생한 폐출혈을 동반한 지방색전증 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether measuring the ratio of descending aortic enhancement (DAE) to main pulmonary artery enhancement (MPAE) on pulmonary computed tomography angiography (PCTA) can predict poor outcome in patients with acute massive or submassive pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: We retrospectively, reviewed computed tomgraphy findings and charts of 37 patients with acute PE and right ventricular dysfunction. We divided the enrolled patients into 3 groups; group Ia (n=8), comprised of patients with major adverse event (MAE); group Ib (n=5), consisted of those with PE-related MAE; and group II (n=29), those without MAE. We analyzed the right ventricular diameter (RVD)/left ventricular diameter (LVD) and DAE/MPAE on PCTA. Results: For observer 1, RVD/LVD in group Ia ($1.9{\pm}0.36$ vs. $1.44{\pm}0.38$, p=0.009) and group Ib ($1.87{\pm}0.37$ vs. $1.44{\pm}0.38$, p=0.044) were significantly higher than that of group II. For observer 2, RVD/LVD in group Ia ($1.71{\pm}0.18$ vs. $1.41{\pm}0.47$, p=0.027) was significantly greater than that of group II, but RVD/LVD of group Ib was not ($1.68{\pm}0.2$ vs. $1.41{\pm}0.47$, p=0.093). For both observers, there was a significant difference of DAE/MPAE between group Ib and group II ($0.32{\pm}0.15$ vs. $0.64{\pm}0.24$, p=0.005; $0.34{\pm}0.16$ vs. $0.64{\pm}0.22$, p=0.004), but no significant difference of DAE/MPAE between group Ia and group II ($0.51{\pm}0.3$ vs. $0.64{\pm}0.24$, p=0.268; $0.53{\pm}0.29$ vs. $0.64{\pm}0.22$, p=0.302). Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the measurement of DAE/MPAE (ICC=0.97) was higher than that of RVD/LVD (ICC=0.74). Conclusion: DAE/MPAE measured on PCTA may predict PE-related poor outcomes in patients with massive or submassive PE with an excellent inter-observer agreement.

Statement of problem. Cortical bone plays an important role in the primary implant stability, which is essential to immediate/early loading. However, immediate load-bearing capacity and primary implant stability according to the change of the cortical bone thickness have not been reported. Purpose. The objectives of this study were (1) to measure the immediate load-bearing capacity of implant and primary implant stability according to the change of cortical bone thickness, and (2) to evaluate the correlation between them. Material and methods.48, screw-shaped implants (3.75 mm$\times$7 mm) were placed into bovine rib bone blocks with different upper cortical bone thickness (0-2.5 mm) and resonance frequency (RF) values were measured subsequently. After fastening of healing abutment. implants were subjected to a compressive load until tolerated micromotion threshold known for the osseointegration and load values at threshold were recorded. Thereafter, RF measurement after loading, CT taking and image analysis were performed serially to evaluate the cortical bone quality and quantity. Immediate load-bearing capacity and RF values were analyzed statistically with ANOVA and post-hoc method at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Regression analysis and correlation test were also performed. Results. Existence and increase of cortical bone thickness increased the immediate load-bearing capacity and RF value (P<0.05) With the result of regression analysis, all parameter's of cortical bone thickness to immediate load-bearing capacity and resonance frequency showed significant positive values (P<0.0001). A significant high correlation was observed between the cortical bone thickness and immediate load-beating capacity (r=0.706, P<0.0001), between the cortical bone thickness and resonance frequency (r=0.753, P<0.0001) and between the immediate load-bearing capacity and resonance frequency (r=0.755, P<0.0001). Conclusion. In summary, cortical bone thickness change affected the immediate load-baring capacity and the RF value. Although RF analysis (RFA) is based on the measurement of implant/bone interfacial stiffness, when the implant is inserted stably, RFA is also considered to reflect implant/bone interfacial strength of immediately after placement from high correlation with the immediate load-baring capacity. RFA and measuring the cortical bone thickness with X-ray before and during surgery could be an effective diagnosis tool for the success of immediate loading of implant.
