Background: Several methods have been presented for the evaluation of the endometrium in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, which include minimal invasive and invasive approaches such as diagnostic curettage or endometrial biopsy by Pipelle. Many studies have been performed in order to compare two methods; diagnostic curettage and outpatient endometrial biopsy. This investigation compared sampling adequacy, endometrial histopathology, failure rates, duration and costs between diagnostic curettage in a hospital and endometrial biopsy. Materials and Methods: This single blind clinical trial was performed on 130 patients older than 35 years who was referred to Amir training hospital in 2013 for elective diagnostic curettage because of abnormal uterine bleeding. For all patients eligible for the study, an endometrial sample by Pipelle was taken without anesthesia or dilatation. Then under general anesthesia diagnostic curettage was performed by sharp curette. Sampling duration was calculated and both samples were sent to the same pathologist. The diagnostic values of two methods in the diagnosis of normal endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma were compared. The costs of these two methods were also compared. Data analysis was performed by SPSS (version 16.0) software. Chi-Square, Fisher, and Pearson tests were used and were considered statistically significant at P values less than 0.05. Results: Two methods were agreed upon 88% of sampling adequacy and 94% of pathological results. Specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 90% for detection of proliferative endometrium, secretory endometrium, simple hyperplasia without atypia and 100% for cancer were recorded. Pipelle diagnostic accuracy in comparison with curettage, have been reported over 97%, so the failure rate in this study was below 5%. Sensitivity of Pipelle for detection of atrophic endometrium was reported below 50%. Duration and cost was lower in Pipelle versus curettage. Conclusions: It is concluded that due to high agreement and cohesion coefficient between curettage and Pipelle on the issue of sampling adequacy, histopathology finding (except atrophic endometrium), low failure rate, duration of sampling and cost, Pipelle can be introduced as a suitable alternative of diagnostic curettage.

Between Sep. 1986 and Mar. 1996, twenty four patients with recurrent giant cell tumor of their long bones were treated and followed up for more than two years. We applied three different modalities for treatment: curettage with bone graft, curettage and packing with polymethylmethacrylate, wide excision with or without reconstruction. During the average 51.5 months after operation(24-97 months), two of three patients who underwent curettage with bone graft showed recurrence. Patients who underwent wide excision showed no recurrence. Five of fifteen patients who underwent curettage and packing with polymethylmethacrylate showed recurrence. Four of seven who showed recurrence were treated with reapplication of curettage and packing with polymethylmethacrylate. All four patients showed no recurrence, and two of them have been followed up for more than two years. We suggest that the curettage and packing with polymethylmethacrylate is an effective treatment modality of the recurrent giant cell tumor.

Non-surgical therapy is still an important technique in periodontal treatment. In this study, scaling and root planing(SRP) with or without concomitant subgingival curettage were compared clinically and microbiologically. 14 moderate adult periodontitis patients were included in this study. After 2 weeks from screening visit, with split mouth design, one quadrant was treated by SRP, and the opposite side was treated by SRP with subgingival curettage. Clinical measurement and microbiological analysis was taken at baseline, 1 month, 3 month post-treatment. Clinical parameters used in this study was probing depth, gingival recession, gingival index, bleeding on probing, plaque index, tooth mobility(Periotest Value). Microbiological analysis consisted of determination of the percentages of 4 bacterial groups according to morphologic type with phase-contrast microscope and measuring Black-pigmented Bacteroides after anaerobic culture. 1. There were significant changes in probing depth and gingival recession at 1 month(P<0.05), and these changes remained through 3 month. However, no significant differences were observed between two groups(P<0.05). 2. There were also significant reductions in gingival index and bleeding on probing at 1 month(P<0.05),and these reduced levels were maintained through 3 month with no significant differences between two groups(P<0.05). 3. In both groups, motile bacteria decreased significantly at 1 months(P<0.05), but increased nearly to baseline level at 3 month. 4. The percentages of Black-pigmented Bacteroides, in both groups, decreased significantly at 1 month(P<0.05), and in the subgingival curettage group, significant more reductions were observed than in the root planing group(P<0.05). At 3 month, significant reduction was found in subgingival curettage group only(P<0.05). According to these results, we surmised that concomitant subgingival curettage and root planing give some advantageous effect on bacterial recolonization.

Periodontal pocket is one of the most frequently developed clinical feature on the teeth with periodontal disease. In order to determine the gingival curettage effect of intrapocket irradiation of a pulsed Nd : YAG laser on periodontally involved teeth, bilateral 60 teeth with $4{\sim}6mm$ in probing pocket depth 1 week after supragingival scaling were selected. On half of them the intrapocket irradiation($300{\mu}m$ fiber optic, 1.5W power, for 2min.) of a pulsed-Nd : YAG laser(EL.EN.EN06O, Italy) was applied as the lased group. On the contralateral 30 teeth the subgingival curettage was accomplished by Gracey curettes as the curattage group. The periodontal pocket tissues were surgically excised by the modified Widman flap technique immediately after the intrapocket irradiation or subgingival curettage, subsequently fixed with 10% neutral formalin, sectioned in $4{\sim}6{\mu}m$ thickness, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Surface characteristics and incomplete removal of the pocket epithelium were evaluated under light microscope. And the difference between the lased group and the curettage group was statistically analyzed by Chi-square test in Microstat program. The results were as follows ; 1. The plane surface was observed more frequently in the curettage group(73.3%) than in the lased group(23.3%), and the rough surface was observed more frequently in the lased grOoup(63.3%) than in the curettage group(6.7%)(p<0.05). 2. The rate of incomplete removal of the pocket epithelium was relatively high in both the lased group(76.6%) and the curettage group(86.6%), and there was no significant difference between the lased group and the curettage group(p>0.l). The results suggest that the further studies including various power control of laser should be succeeded in order to obtain more favorable results by the intrapocket irradiation of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser than the subgingival curettage with Gracey curettes.

Twenty-nine cases of unicameral bone cyst developed in long bone of children have been treated and followed up for 4.5 years in average form Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Guro Hospital, Korea University, College of Medicine since September, 1983, Treatment for those lesions differed to form largely two groups, one of which consised of insillation of Methyl-prednisolone for non-weight bearing bones(12 humeri) and the other of curettage and autogenous bone graft for weight-bearing bones(7 femur). Methl-prednisolone group required repetition of instillation for 3.5 time in average spanning over 4 years until cloudy obliteration occurs. Curettage and bone graft had healed in 3 year 6 months' time in average. There were neither recurrence nor pathologic fractures of the lesions with the latter group. Immobilization period was virtually non with Methyl-prednisolone group and 4-6 weeks by hip spica with curettage and bone graft group. As conclusions, It seems confirmed that treatment strategy of unicameral bone cyst consisted of Methyl-prednisolone instillation for humerus lesions and early curettage and bone graft for femur lesions is applicable as guideline having solid ground in clinical experiences.

목적: 최근 체험한 59례의 거대 세포종 중 골 소파술 및 시멘트 충전술을 시행한 37례의 재발의 특성과 이를 예방할 수 있는 방법에 대해 알아 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 2000년 3월까지 본원 정형외과에 입원하여 진단적 생검 또는 수술적 치료에 의하여 병리학적으로 거대 세포종으로 확진되고, 그 치료로 골 소파술과 Burring 후 시멘트 충전술을 시행했던 3 7례의 재발의 위치, 특성, 시기에 관하여 분석하였다. 결과: 총 37례 환자 중 일차 치료(Curettage & Cementation) 후 13례에서 재발하여 35%의 재발율을 보였다. 일차 치료 후 재발까지의 기간은 평균 16 개월로 분석되었으며, 최단 5개월에서 최장 3년 7개월이었다. 2례를 제외하고는 모두 2년 내에 재발하였다. 재발 부위는 수술적 접근 후 창(Window)을 만든 부위의 인접한 피질골에서 대부분 관찰되었으며(11례), 2례는 수술적 접근을 한 골 시멘트의 심부(골수강측)에 발생하였다. 골 소파 술 후의 시멘트 충전술은 즉각적 안정성과 빠른 재활, 재발의 조기 발견의 유용성이 있다. 또한 이론적으로 주변의 남아있는 종양세포를 사멸시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 수술을 시행한 실제 임상 례에서 재발의 부위가 수술시 충분한 소파가 안된 부위(Window를 작게 내어 불충분한 소파가 된 부위, 주위 해부학적 구조상 건, 인대의 기시부나 종지부로 소파가 안된 부위)에서 대부분(85%)이 재발하였다. 결론: 거대 세포종의 치료에 있어서 골 소파술과 Burring 후 시멘트 충전술이 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 소파술 후 보조적인 치료로서 페놀, $H_2O_2$를 이용한 화학적 소작, 냉동요법, 무수 알코올 등이 소개 되었지만, 아직 그 효과가 입증된 것이 없다. 많은 경우 주위의 인대나 건의 기시부나 종지부 또는 다른 해부학적 구조로 불충분한 창(Window)으로 인해, 수술적 접근을 한 부위의 골 소파술 및 Burring 이 불완전하게 되는 경향이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 재발의 부위는 대부분(85%)에서 불충분한 개창술이 된 부위에서 발생하였다. 즉, 중요한 해부학적 구조가 있더라도 충분한 개창술과 광범위한 소파와 Burring이 재발을 방지하는 가장 중요한 요소가 되리라 사료된다. 본 연구에서 거대세포종의 재발은 대부분 2년 이내에 발생하였다. 특히 이 기간에는 철저한 추적검사를 통하여 재발에 유의해야 한다.

Giant cell tumor is most frequently found in juxtaarticular region, and difficult to treat because of local recurrence. Although primary resections reduce recurrence, the joint function will be markedly impaired. Techniques involving physical adjuncts(high speed burr and electric cauterization), acrylic cement or en bloc resection with VFG(vascularized fibular graft) have been employed to reduce local recurrence. From October 1984 to April 1994, twenty-nine patients diagnosed as giant cell tumor were treated at department of Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyung Hee University. There were eleven men and 18 women, ranging in age from 17 to 52 years(mean: 34 years). The average follow-up period was four years and five months. The location of the lesion was around the knee in 15, distal radius in three, femoral head in three, and others in eight patients. Fifteen patients around the knee joint were treated with several modalities; curettage with bone graft in five, curettage with cement filling in three, curettage with bone graft and physical adjuncts in five, en bloc resection with VFG in one and en bloc resection with arthroplasty in one patient. The functional results, according to the Marshall's knee score, were excellent in one, good in two, and fair in two after the curettage with bone graft, good in three after the curettage with bone cement filling, excellent in one, good in four after the curettage with bone graft and physical adjuncts, and good in two after the en bloc resection with VFG or arthroplasty. Three patients had local recurrence among 15 patients with giant cell tumor around knee. Vascularized fibular graft around wrist joint provided good functional restoration without local recurrence in all three patients who had giant cell tumor in distal radius. Although there is no statistical significance, it seems that curettage with bone graft using physical adjuncts or acrylic cement reveals better results than simple curettage with bone graft. Excellent functional result were obtained without local recurrence by using vascularized fibular graft after en bloc resection.
