Objective : Percutaneous vertebroplasty is often complicated by the presence of multiple fractures or non-localizing pain in the patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The purpose of this study is to estimate the value of preoperative radiologic studies in the localization of symptomatic vertebrae and to determine the factors which can influence on the clinical results. Materials and Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiologic data of 57 vertebrae in 30 patients underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Inclusion criteria was severe pain(McGill-Melzack score 3, 4 or 5) associated with the acute vertebral fractures and absence of spinal nerve root or cord compression sign. Acute symptomatic vertebral fracture was determined by the presence of signal change on MR images or increased uptake on whole body bone scan. Results : Pain improvement was obtained immediately in all patients and favorable result was sustained in 26 patients(86.7%) during the mean follow-up duration of 4.7 months(5 complete pain relief, 21 marked pain relief). Those who underwent vertebroplasty for all acute symptomatic vertebrae had significantly better clinical result than those who did not. Further vertebral collapse and eventual bursting fracture occurred in 1 vertebra which showed intradiskal leakage of bone cement and disruption of cortical endplate on postoperative CT scan. Conclusion : Preoperative MR imaging and whole body bone scan are very useful in determining the symptomatic vertebrae, especially in the patients with multiple osteoporotic vertebral fractures. To obtain favorable clinical result, the careful radiologic evaluation as well as clinical assessment is required. Control of PMMA volume seems to be the most critical point for avoiding complications.

설문 문항에 따라 심도 있는 토의가 진행된 내용을 요약 하면 다음과 같다. 문항 1의 영아 황달 환자의 감별진단을 위한 검사에 대한 토론에서 복부초음파검사가 과거에는 담즙정체 환자에서 선별검사 목적으로 시행되었으나 1992년 부터 일부에서는 좀 더 확실한 진단 방법으로 이용하려는 견해가 있음이 소개되었다. 또한 Triangular cord sign (TC sign)은 문맥 앞쪽에 있는 삼각형이나 띠 모양의 반사성 (echogenecity)을 나타낸다는 것과 이 반사성은 간문맥섬유화 종괴를 조영하는 것으로 이 반사성 두께가 2.5mm면 담도폐색증으로 진단할 수 있다고 하는 TC sign에 근거한 진단방침에 대한 논의가 있었으나, 아직은 충분히 검증된 방법으로 보기는 어렵다는 견해도 함께 제시되었다. 문항 8의 간문맥 부위의 시야를 좋게 하기 위한 토론에서는 소아의 복부는 좌우 옆으로 발달이 되어 간의 현수인대와 간의 좌우 삼각인대 (triangular ligament)와 낫인대 (falciform ligamnet)를 잘라내면 간이 쉽게 배 밖으로 나오게 돼며, 수술 시야가 양호해 진다는 의견이 제시되었다. 피부 절개선을 간의 가장자리 보다도 한 횡지 위 쪽으로 넣는 것과 간을 너무 당기면 하대정맥에 각이 져서 순환허탈이 올 수 있다는 점이 주의사항이라고 하였다. 문항 9 portal fibrous mass 의 절제범위에 대한 토론에서는 양쪽 외측에서 담즙 배출이 많이 되므로 가능하면 양쪽 외측으로 많이 나가야 되며 좌우 간동맥 안쪽으로 절제하고 뒤쪽은 문맥 분기 뒤쪽의 정상 간 표면이 나올 때까지 절제한다는 의견이 있었고, 외측으로 가는 범위는 혈관 밖에까지 가는 것이 좋으며 혈관 위에는 문합이 불가능하므로 장이 혈관을 overriding하도록 장을 그냥 씌우면 된다는 의견이 있었으나 반면 좌우 간동맥 사이의 간표면에서 절제하는 정도만 해도 최선이며 무리하다 오히려 간동맥에 손상을 주변 담도의 혈류가 차단되어 세담관 증식에 장애가 된다는 의견도 있었다. 확장절제를 위해 좌.우 간문맥 두번째 분지까지 절제하면 절제면이 약 3 cm 크기가 되고 그 부위에다 넓게 장문합을 하며, 절제 깊이는 간실질까지 들어가는 것을 피하기 위하여 fibrous mass 기저부를 일부 남기면서 간표면을 따라 조심스럽게 절제한다는 의견이 있었다. 이를 위해 retractor를 효과적으로 사용하면 간문맥 제2분지까지 접근 가능하므로 가능한 한 깊이 절제하는 것이 좋다고 하였으나 한편 담도폐색증에서는 혈관기형이 많이 동반되어 혈관손상 위험이 있으므로 몇 번째 분지까지 절제하여야하는가 보다는 위험하지 않을 정도로 외측으로 갈수 있는 데까지 가는 것이 좋다는 의견도 있었다. 일반적으로 Kasai 수술의 목적 'cure' 내지는 'improvement' 되는 것이라고 본다면, Kasai술식에서 fibrous mass를 공격적으로 절제해서 효과적인 담즙배액을 성취할 수 있는지, 또는 장기간 추적조사에서 정말 훨씬 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있는지를 비교하여야 하므로 아직은 충분히 검정되지 않은 의견으로 보아야 한다는 견해도 제시되었다. 문항 13의 담도폐색증 수술 후 통상적으로 처방하는 약제의 복용기간은 회원마다 상당한 차이가 있었다. 즉, Ursodeoxycholic acid (우루사)는 한달에서 부터 2년까지 또는 더 오랜 동안 처방한다는 의견도 있었고, systemic antibiotics도 2주에서 2년까지 처방 기간이 다양하였으며, 스테로이드는 대부분 2 - 3주 사용하고 있다고 하였다. 본 조사 결과는 18개 병원에서 21년 동안 대한소아외과학회 회원들이 경험한 환자들의 병록지를 후향적으로 조사한 것을 분석한 것으로서 80년대 초반의 환자 증례는 매우 제한적 일 뿐만 아니라 많은 수의 기록지가 불충분하거나 일치되지 않은 기술로 인해 자료로서 한계가 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 조사에서 얻은 결과의 분석은 회원들의 수련 배경이나 진료 환경이 다를지라도 담도폐색증의 진단 및 치료에 있어서 기본 원칙에는 매우 일치된 시술이 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 다만 수술 소견에 따른 담도폐색증의 분류나 조직학적 기술에서는 보완을 요한다고 하겠다. 따라서 이 결과를 외국의 통계분석과 비교하는 것보다는 회원들의 향후 진료와 전향적 연구에 참고가 될 수 있다는 것에 의미를 두고자 한다. 또한 담도폐색증이 매우 드문 질환임은 분명하나 전국적인 조사에서는 적지 않은 예가 모아질 수 있으므로 회원들이 동일한 등록지를 작성하여 시행되는 전향적 연구에서는 우리나라 담도폐색증에 대한 분류, 치료 성적, 예후 인자들도 더 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 본 조사에서 사용하였던 등록지를 약간 수정보완한 ‘담도폐색증 등록지’를 학회에서 향 후 전향적 연구를 위해 인정해주기를 제안하는 바이다 (Biliary Atresia Entry Forrn).

The Old Testament cotains mention of the history of creation and clothing in ancient Hebrew. This study dealt with Hebrew dress customs especially aimed at the manners of their hair styles, headgears, footwear and personal ornaments. References are Korean Revised Version, English King James Version and Revised Standard Version. There is little mention of hair styles and headgears in the Old Testament. Some sort of turban was worn by priests, and soldiers protected themselves with helmets, but most Israelitish men went bareheaded except on special occasions and often wear simple headbands. It was more common for women to use headwear of some type-turbans, scarves, and veils concealing the face. The veil was the distinctive female wearing apparel. All females, with the exception of maidservants and women in a low condition of life, wore a veil. It was the custom for women to wear a veil entirely covering their head in the public. Through most of the Old Testament periods long and thick hair was admired on men and women alike. The Hebrews were proud to have thick and abundant long hair, and they gave much attention to the care of their hair. The caring of hair was deeply related to their rituals. Nazirites never took a razor to their hair during his vow-days, but instead let it grow long, as an offering to God. Men would not cut their beards, but allow them to grow long. The Israelites' standard footwear was a pair of simple leather sandals. This was one of the items of clothing not highly prized. In a colloquial saying of the time, a pair of shoes signified something of small value, and to be barefoot except in times of mourning or on holy place, was a sign either of extreme poverty or humiliation, as in the case of war prisoners. Because precious stones were not mined in the Palestine-Syria region, Hebrews imported them from foreign country. They were consumer-to a large degree limited by their very modest standard of living-but not producers. Hebrews liked the precious stones and were motivated to acquire and wear jewels. Besides their use for adornment and as gifts, the precious or semiprecious stones were regarded by Jews of property. The Hebrews were not innovators in the field of decorative arts. The prohibition of the Law against making any "graven image" precluded the development of painting, sculpture, and other forms of representational art. Jewish men did not indulge in extravagances of dress, and there was little ornamentation among them. Men wore a signet ring on their right hand or sometimes suspended by a cord or chain around the neck. The necklaces, when worn by a male, also bore any symbol of his authority. Bracelets were extremely popular with both men and women, men usually preferring to wear them on their upper arms. The girdle was a very useful part of a man's clothing. It was used as a waist belt, or used to fasten a man's sword to his body, or served as a pouch in which to keep money and other things. Men often carried a cane or staff, which would be ornamented at the top. Among the women there was more apt to be ornamentation than among the men. Hebrew women liked to deck themselves with jewels, and ornamentation of the bride were specially luxurious and numerous. They wore rings on their fingers or On toes, ankle rings, earrings, nosering, necklace, bracelets. Their shapes were of cresent, waterdrops, scarab, insect, animal or plant. Sometimes those were used as amulets. They were made of ceramics, gold, silver, bronze, iron, and various precious stones which were mostly imported from Egypt and Sinai peninsular. Hebrews were given many religious regulations by Moses Law on their hair, headgears, sandals and ornamentation. Their clothing were deeply related with their customs especially with their religions and rituals. Hebrew religion was of monotheism and of revealed religion. Their religious leaders, the prophets who was inspired by God might need such many religious regulations to lead the idol oriented people to God through them.

This study was performed to investigate the cause, symptom, treatment, medicine of Wei symptom through the literature of oriental and western medicine. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Wei symptom is the symptom that reveals muscle relaxation without contraction and muscle relaxation occures in the lower limb or upper limb, in severe case, leads to death. 2. Since the pathology and etiology of Wei symptom was first described as "pe-yeol-yeop-cho"(肺熱葉焦) in Hung Ti Nei Ching(黃帝內經), for generations most doctors had have accepted it. but after Dan Ge(丹溪), it had been classified into seven causes, damp-heat(濕熱), phlegm-damp(濕痰), deficiency of qi(氣虛), deficiency of blood(血虛), deficiency of yin(陰處), stagnant blood(死血), stagnant food(食積). Chang Gyeng Ag(張景岳) added the cause of deficiency of source qi(元氣). 3. The concept of "To treat Yangming, most of all"(獨治陽明) was emphasized in the treatment of Wei symptom and contains nourishment of middle warmer energy(補益中氣), clearance of yangming-damp-heat(淸化陽明濕熱). 4. Since Nei-ching era(內經時代), Wei and Bi symptom(痺症) is differenciated according to the existence of pain. After Ming era(明代) appeared theory of co-existence of Wei symptom and pain or numbness but they were accepted as a sign of Wei symptom caused by the pathological factor phelgm(痰), damp(濕), stagnancy(瘀). 5. In the western medical point of view, Wei symptom is like paraplegia, or tetraplegia. and according to the causative disease, it is accompanied by dysesthesia, paresthsia, pain. thus it is more recommended to use hwal-hyel-hwa-ae(活血化瘀) method considering damp-heat(濕熱), qi deficiency of spleen and stornach(脾胃氣虛) as pathological basis than to simply differenciate Wei and Bi symptom according to the existence of pain. 6. The cause of Gullian-Barre syndrome(GBS) is consist of two factors, internal and external. Internal factors include asthenia of spleen and stomach, and of liver and kidney. External factors include summur-damp(暑濕), damp-heat(濕熱), cold-damp(寒濕) and on the basis of "classification and treatment according to the symptom of Zang-Fu"(臟腑辨證論治), the cause of GBS is classified into injury of body fluid by lung heat(肺熱傷津), infiltration of damp-heat(濕熱浸淫), asthenia of spleen and kidney(脾腎兩虛), asthenia of spleen and stomach(脾胃虛弱), asthenia of liver and kidney (肝腎兩虛). 7. The cause of GBS is divided by according to the disease developing stage: Early stage include dryness-heat(燥熱), damp(濕邪), phlegm(痰濁), stagnant blood(瘀血), and major treatment is reducing of excess(瀉實). Late stage include deficiency of essence(精虛), deficiency with excess(虛中挾實), and essencial deficiency of liver and kidney(肝腎精不足) is major point of treatment. 8. Following is the herbal medicine of GBS according to the stage. In case of summur-damp(暑濕), chung-seu-iki-tang(淸暑益氣湯) is used which helps cooling and drainage of summer-damp(淸利暑濕), reinforcement of qi and passage of collateral channels(補氣通絡). In case of damp-heat, used kun-bo-hwan(健步丸), In case of cool-damp(寒濕), used 'Mahwang-buja-sesin-tang with sam-chul-tang'(麻黃附子細辛湯合蓼朮湯). In case of asthenia of spleen and kidney, used 'Sam-lyeng-baik-chul san'(蔘笭白朮散), In case of asthenia of liver and kidney, used 'Hojam-hwan'(虎潛丸). 9. Following is the herbal medicine of GBS according to the "classification and treatment according to the symptom of Zang-Fu"(臟腑辨證論治). In the case of injury of body fluid by lung heat(肺熱傷津), 'Chung-jo-gu-pae-tang'(淸燥救肺湯) is used. In case of 'infiltration of damp-heat'(濕熱浸淫), us-ed 'Yi-myo-hwan'(二妙丸), In case of 'infiltration of cool-damp'(寒濕浸淫), us-ed 'Yui-lyung-tang', In case of asthenia of spleen, used 'Sam-lyung-bak-chul-san'. In case of yin-deficiency of liver and kidney(肝腎陰虛), used 'Ji-bak-ji-hwang-hwan'(知柏地黃丸), or 'Ho-jam-hwan'(虎潛丸). 10. Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy is occuered by compression or ischemia of spinal cord. 11. The cause of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy consist of 'flow disturbance of the channel points of tai-yang'(太陽經兪不利), 'stagnancy of cool-damp'(寒濕凝聚), 'congestion of phlegm-damp stagnant substances'(痰濕膠阻), 'impairment of liver and kidney'(肝腎虛損). 12. In treatment of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy, are used 'Ge-ji-ga-gal-geun-tang-gagam'(桂枝加葛根湯加減), 'So-hwal-lack-dan-hap-do-hong-eum-gagam(小活絡丹合桃紅飮加減), 'Sin-tong-chuck-ue-tang-gagam(身痛逐瘀湯加減), 'Do-dam-tang-hap-sa-mul-tang-gagam'(導痰湯合四物湯加減), 'Ik-sin-yang-hyel-guen-bo-tang'(益腎養血健步湯加減), 'Nok-gakyo-hwan-gagam'(鹿角膠丸加減). 13. The cause of muscle dystropy is related with 'the impairement of vital qi'(元氣損傷), and 'impairement of five Zang organ'(五臟敗傷). Symptoms and signs are classified into asthenia of spleen and stomach, deficiency with excess, 'deficiency of liver and kidney'(肝腎不足) infiltration of damp-heat, 'deficiency of qi and blood'(氣血兩虛), 'yang deficiency of spleen and kidney'(脾腎陽虛). 14. 'Bo-jung-ik-gi-tang'(補中益氣湯), 'Gum-gang-hwan'(金剛丸), 'Yi-gong-san-hap-sam-myo-hwan'(異功散合三妙丸), 'Ja-hyel-yang-gun-tang'(滋血養筋湯), 'Ho-jam-hwan'(虎潛丸) are used for muscle dystropy. 15. The causes of myasthenia gravis are classified into 'insufficiency of middle warmer energy'(中氣不足), 'deficiency of qi and yin of spleen and kidney'(脾腎兩處), 'asthenia of qi of spleen'(脾氣虛弱), 'deficiency of qi and blood'(氣血兩虛), 'yang deficiency of spleen and kidney'(脾腎陽虛). 16. 'Bo-jung-ik-gi-tang-gagam'(補中益氣湯加減), 'Sa-gun-ja-tang-hap-gi-guk-yang-hyel-tang'(四君子湯合杞菊地黃湯), 'Sa-gun-ja-tang-hap-u-gyi-eum-gagam'(四君子湯合右歸飮加減), 'Pal-jin-tang'(八珍湯), 'U-gyi-eum'(右歸飮) are used for myasthenia gravis.
