Purpose : The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate second look arthroscopic finding after osteochondral autograft transfer(OAT) for the treatment of the chondral defect of the knee. Materials & Methods : Fourteen out of forty cases underwent second look arthroscopy after the OAT for the treatment of the chondral defect of the knee. The average age of patients was 34 years. Preoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging was performed in eleven cases and chondral defect was confirmed in nine cases. The site of the chondral defect located at medial femoral condyle at seven, trochlea in four, and lateral fomoral condyle in three cases. The average size of the condral defect was $13\times10mm$, maximum $22\times20mm$. The number of graft was one in eight, two in three, three in two, and five in one case. The average follow-up period was twenty-one months. Second look arthroscopy was performed at six months in almost cases. Results : After the OAT, $86\%$ of cases showed that the consistency of grafted cartilage was firm and $93\%$ of cases showed that grafted cartilage was well incorporated with surrounding cartilage. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that OAT can be one of treatment modality in the chondral defect of the knee.

In this paper we have constructed three dimensional images and examined structural failure on thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) by using dual-beam focused ion beam (FIB) and IMOD software. Specimen was sectioned with dual-beam focused ion beam. Series of two dimensional images were obtained by scanning electron microscopy. Three dimensional reconstruction was constructed from them by using IMOD software. The short defect between Gate layer and Data layer was found from the result of three dimensional reconstruction. That phenomena made the function of the gate lost and data signal supplied to the electrode though the Drain continuously. That signal made continuous line defect. The result of the three dimensional reconstruction, serial section, SEM imaging by using the FIB will be the foundation of the next advanced study.

These days much efforts are being dedicated to wind power as a potential source of renewable energy. To maintain effective and uniform generation of energy, defect preservation of turbine blade is essential because it directly takes effects on the efficiency of power generation. For the effective maintenance, early measurements of blade defects are very important. However, current technologies such as ultrasonic waves and thermal imaging inspection methods are not suitable because of long inspection time and non-real time inspection. To supplement the problems, the study introduced a method for real time defect monitoring of a blade surface based on surface wave technology. We examined the effect of various parameters such as micro-cracks and peelings on the propagation of surface wave.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to visualize and identify peri-implant bone defects in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and to obtain quantitative measurements of the defect depth. Methods: Dehiscence defects were intentionally formed in porcine mandibles and implants were simultaneously placed without flap elevation. Only the threads of the fixture could be seen at the bone defect site in the OCT images, so the depth of the peri-implant bone defect could be measured through the length of the visible threads. To analyze the reliability of the OCT measurements, the flaps were elevated and the depth of the dehiscence defects was measured with a digital caliper. Results: The average defect depth measured by a digital caliper was $4.88{\pm}1.28mm$, and the corresponding OCT measurement was $5.11{\pm}1.33mm$. Very thin bone areas that were sufficiently transparent in the coronal portion were penetrated by the optical beam in OCT imaging and regarded as bone loss. The intraclass correlation coefficient between the 2 methods was high, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) close to 1. In the Bland-Altman analysis, most measured values were within the threshold of the 95% CI, suggesting close agreement of the OCT measurements with the caliper measurements. Conclusions: OCT images can be used to visualize the peri-implant bone level and to identify bone defects. The potential of quantitative non-invasive measurements of the amount of bone loss was also confirmed.

Purpose: This study intends to verify the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for estimate recovery after arthroscopic pull-out repair at root tears of medial meniscus. Materials and Methods: We performed 17 patients who examined MRI and arthroscopy among patients who had received repair of medial meniscus from November, 2007 to June, 2011. To determine restoration meniscus, we performed arthroscopy and MRI. Results: Lysholm knee scores before and after operation were average 56.4 and 79.0 and visual analogue scale (VAS) score was improved from 8 points to 3 points. From secondary look arthroscopy performed after operation, 17 cases showed stabilization after regeneration. However, In MRI, cleft sign implying root tears of medial meniscus was observed in all cases before and after operation, ghost sign was observed in 10 cases and 9 cases respectively, radial linear defect was showed 17 cases and 15 cases respectively. Conclusion: It was not useful that MRI after medial meniscus repair in non-anatomical site, to consider restoration of medial meniscus. To evaluate for recovery medial meniscus after repair more exactly, secondary arthroscopy would be required.

A 71-year-old woman was assigned to our department for Tc-99m myocardial perfusion SPECT(MPS) and coronary CT angiography. She admitted for substernal pain, via the ER, 2 days ago. The heart was scanned after intravenous injection of 925 MBq of $^{99m}Tc$-sestamibi adenosine-induced stress SPECT using dual head gamma camera (Hawkeye, GE healthcare. USA). The MPS shows decreased tracer uptake in the apical & mid area of anterior & lateral wall and mid & basal inferior wall. Coronary CT angiograph was obtained using Discovery VCT (GE healthcare). 3D angiography portrayed significant stenosis of ramus intermedius(RI) and posterolateral branch of right coronary artery(PLB) with fibrocalcified plaque. Two images were fused using Cardiac IQ fusion softwear package (Advantage workstation 4.4, GE healthcare) The fusion images explain the perfusion defect of anterior, lateral and inferior wall is due to stenosis of the RI and PLB. And 3 days later, coronary angiography was done and revealed the marked stenosis of RI and PLB. Then balloon angioplasty and stent was instituted in RI. Cardiac SPECT/CT fusion imaging provides additional information about hemodynamic relevance and facilitates lesion interpretation by allowing exact allocation of perfusion defects to its subtending coronary artery.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with that of parallel(PPA) and oblique projected periapical(OPA) radiography for the detection of different types of peri-implant bone defects. Materials and Methods: Forty implants inserted into bovine rib blocks were used. Thirty had standardized bone defects(10 each of angular, fenestration, and dehiscence defects), and 10 were defect-free controls. CBCT, PPA, and OPA images of the samples were acquired. The images were evaluated twice by each of 2 blinded observers regarding the presence or absence and the type of the defects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were determined for each radiographic technique. The 3 modalities were compared using the Fisher exact and chi-square tests, with P<0.05 considered as statistical significance. Results: High inter-examiner reliability was observed for the 3 techniques. Angular defects were detected with high sensitivity and specificity by all 3 modalities. CBCT and OPA showed similar AUC and sensitivity in the detection of fenestration defects. In the identification of dehiscence defects, CBCT showed the highest sensitivity, followed by OPA and PPA, respectively. CBCT and OPA had a significantly greater ability than PPA to detect fenestration and dehiscence defects(P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of OPA radiography in addition to routine PPA imaging as a radiographic follow-up method for dental implantation greatly enhances the visualization of fenestration and dehiscence defects. CBCT properly depicted all defect types studied, but it involves a relatively high dose of radiation and cost.

One of the most important properties of the IC substrate is that it should be uniform over large areas. Among the various physical approaches of wafer defect characterization, special attention is to be payed to the infrared techniques of inspection. In particular, a high spatial resolution, near infrared absorption method has been adopted to directly observe defects in semi-insulating GaAs. This technique, which relies on the mapping of infrared transmission, is both rapid and non-destructive. This method demonstrates in a direct way that the infrared images of GaAs crystals arise from defect absorption process. A new interpretation is presented for the observed reversal of contrast in the infrared absorption of nonuniformly distributed deep centers, related to EL2, in semi-insulating GaAs. The low temperature photoquenching experiment has demonstrated in a direct way that the contrast inverse images of GaAs wafers arise from both absorption and scattering mechanisms rather than charge re-distribution or local variation of bandgap.

Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart disease. However, the details of cardiac chamber remodeling after surgery are not well known, although this is an important issue that should be analyzed to understand long-term outcomes. Methods: Between November 2017 and January 2019, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed preoperatively, at a 1-month postoperative follow-up, and at a 1-year postoperative follow-up. Cardiac chamber volume, valve regurgitation volume, and ejection fraction were measured as functions of time. Results: Thirteen patients (10 men and 3 women) were included. The median age at surgery was 51.4 years. The preoperative median ratio of flow in the pulmonary and systemic circulation was 2.3. The preoperative mean right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume index (EDVi) and RV end-systolic volume index (ESVi) had significantly decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p<0.001, p=0.001, respectively). The decrease in the RVEDVi (p=0.085) and RVESVi (p=0.023) continued until the postoperative 1-year follow-up, although the rate of decrease was slower. Tricuspid valve regurgitation had also decreased at the 1-month postoperative follow-up (p=0.022), and continued to decrease at a reduced rate (p=0.129). Although the RVEDVi and RVESVi improved after ASD closure, the RV volume parameters were still larger than the left ventricular (LV) volume parameters at the 1-year follow-up (RVEDVi vs. LVEDVi: p=0.016; RVESVi vs. LVESVi: p=0.001). Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling after ASD closure is common and mainly occurs in the early postoperative period. However, complete normalization does not occur.
