이 연구는 만성요통을 가진 민간 경호 경비원들을 대상으로 척추안정화 운동을 실시하여, 허리통증, 일상생활제한, 척추심부근육의 근단면적 변화에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 서울 경기 지역 경호 경비업체에 종사하는 직원 중 만성요통(3개월 이상)을 호소하는 42명을 대상으로 일반적인 척추강화운동그룹, 척추안정화 운동 그룹으로 21명씩 무선 할당하여, 주 3회, 10주간 운동을 실시하였다. 실험 전 후 설문지를 이용하여 허리통증과 요통장애지수를 조사하였으며, 컴퓨터 단층촬영(CT)을 실시하여 다열근과 대요근의 근단면적을 측정하였으며, 실험 전 후 변화된 값을 비교 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 통증강도와 요통장애지수는 두 그룹 모두 통계학적으로 유의하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 그룹 간 비교에서는 척추안정화 운동그룹이 일반적인 척추강화 운동그룹에 비하여 통증 및 일상생활제한의 감소폭이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 두 그룹 간 다열근과 대요근의 근단면적 변화는 척추안정화 운동그룹이 일반적인 척추강화 운동그룹 보다 통계학적으로 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 이 연구 결과를 볼 때, 만성요통을 호소하는 민간 경호 경비원들을 대상으로 다열근과 대요근과 같은 심부근육 강화에 초점을 둔 척추안정화 운동프로그램이 일반적인 척추강화 운동프로그램 보다 통증 및 요통장애지수 감소와 심부근육의 근력 증가(근단면적)에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 척추안정화 운동이 만성요통 민간 경호 경비원들의 요통감소와 기능 회복에 효과적이라고 할 수 있겠다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the characteristics and the prognosis of multiple intraabdominal solid organ injuries, including those to the liver, spleen, and kidney, after blunt trauma. Methods: From January 2001 to March 2009, 39 patients with multiple intraabdominal solid organ injuries, which had been confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography after blunt trauma, were included in this retrospective study. The injury severity score (ISS), abbreviated injury scale (AIS), revised trauma score (RTS), American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) injury grade of solid organs, initial hemodynamic status, blood gas analysis, blood transfusion, and the mortality were the main outcome measurements. Results: Injured groups were classified into liver/kidney (n=17), liver/spleen (n=4), spleen/kidney (n=13), and liver/kidney/spleen (n=5) groups. Patients were older in the liver/kidney group than in the liver/kidney/spleen group (43 vs 18 years, p=0.023). The initial systolic blood pressures tended to be lower in the liver/kidney group than in the other groups (84 vs 105, 112, and 114 mmHg, p=0.087). The amounts of 24-hour packed RBC transfusion were 32 units in the liver/kidney group and 4 units in the liver/kidney/spleen group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Differences were found in neither the RTS, ISS, and AIS for head, chest, abdominal, and pelvic injuries nor the AAST injury grade for solid organ, but injuries to the chest were more severe in the liver/spleen group than in the spleen/kidney group (AIS 4.0 vs 2.8, p=0.028). Conservative treatment was the most frequent applied treatment in all groups. There were 6 mortalities : 3 due to hypovolemia, 2 to sepsis, and 1 to brain injury. Mortalities occurred only in the liver/kidney group. Conclusion: Patients who had intraabdominal solid organ injuries of the liver and the kidney simultaneously, tended to be transfused more at an early time after trauma, to have lower initial systolic blood pressures, and to have a higher mortality.

분진에 노출된 집단의 흉부 디지털영상에서 진폐 소견에 따라 흉부 저선량 CT영상에서 발견된 소견을 비교 분석하였다. 2007년 4월부터 2008년 8월 사이 일개 진폐정밀건강진단기관에 내원한 진폐정밀건강진단 대상자 남자 328명에 대해 저선량 CT촬영을 실시하였고, 진폐 판독경험이 많은 1명의 영상의학과 전문의가 판독하였다. 흉부 디지털영상의 진폐 소견은 국제노동기구 흉부 영상 분류법(ILO, 2000)따라 아날로그 표준 사진을 참조하여 2명의 영상의학과 전문의가 합의 판독한 결과로부터 얻었고, 소음영의 병형에 따라 진폐 소견이 없는군(87명, 26.5%)과 있는군(241명, 73.5%)으로 분류하였다. 진폐 소견이 있는군에서 나이(60.9 vs. 65.0, p<0.001)와 분진노출기간(17.0 vs. 19.2, p=0.024)이 통계학적으로 유의하게 높았지만, 흡연력은 차이가 없었다. 전체 대상자 328명 중 245명(74.7%)이 저선량 CT영상에서 13 종류의 소견이 발견되었다. 진폐 소견이 없는군 보다 있는군에서 관상동맥 석회화 소견이 통계학적으로 의미 있게 높은 빈도를 보였고(25.3% vs. 36.9%, p=0.049), 벌집모양 소견도 높은 빈도를 보였다(1.2% vs. 6.2%, p=0.079). 하지만, 저선량 CT영상에서 진폐 소음영을 시사하는 작은 결절은 진폐 소견이 없는 군에서 더 높은 빈도를 보여 흉부 디지털영상이 민감도가 낮았다. 이상의 결과에서 분진 노출에 의한 진폐 소견이 저선량 CT영상의 관상동맥 석회화 소견과 유의한 관련성을 보였지만, 독립적인 위험요인임을 규명하기 위해서는 관상동맥 혈관 조영술을 이용한 전향적인 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: In patients with splenic trauma, Computed Tomography (CT) scan is helpful in selecting treatment options and evaluating resolution after NOM (Non-Operative Management). The purpose of this study was to suggest a CT based hemoperitoneum (HP) scoring system that can easily be used by clinicians to evaluate the severity of injury and recovery. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with splenic trauma admitted to our hospital between May 2003 and January 2013 was conducted. Patients diagnosed with isolated spleen injury who had a CT scan on admission were included. 1 or 2 points were given according to location and amount of hematoma in the CT image. Using the existing ultrasonography (US) based HP scoring system, the same method was applied to obtain our CT based HP scoring (CBHS) system, which ranges from 0 to 8 points. The CBHS system can be easily used by clinicians for a quick assessment of splenic injury. Results: Of the 39 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 6 patients were managed operatively and 33 nonoperatively. There was a significant difference in CBHS between the OM (operative management) group and the NOM group.(p=0.03) CBHS showed correlation with Hb (hemoglobin), Hct (hematocrit), spleen injury grade(AAST), and Hounsfield unit of ROI (Region of interest). (p=0.17, p=0.18, p<0.000, p=0.02, respectively) After successful NOM with stabilized Hb level, the amount of hemoperitoneum was scored in the follow-up CT. CBHS demonstrated correlation with decreased spleen injury grade, decreased Hounsfield unit of ROI (Region of interest) (p=0.039, p=0.049, respectively), and also objectively reflected patient recovery. Conclusion: CBHS can be used as an objective and intuitive tool for clinicians in grading the severity of splenic injury by scoring the amount of hemoperitoneum, and in assessing recovery.

Objective: To investigate the distribution and phenotypes of hemifacial microsomia (HFM) and its association with other anomalies. Methods: This study included 249 Korean patients with HFM, whose charts, photographs, radiographs, and/or computed tomography scans acquired during 1998-2018 were available from Seoul National University Hospital and Dental Hospital. Prevalence according to sex, side involvement, degree of mandibular deformity, compensatory growth of the mandibular body, and Angle's classification, and its association with other anomalies were statistically analyzed. Results: Prevalence was not different between male and female patients (55.0% vs. 45.0%, p > 0.05). Unilateral HFM (UHFM) was more prevalent than bilateral HFM (BHFM) (86.3% vs. 13.7%, p < 0.001). Although distribution of the Pruzansky-Kaban types differed significantly in patients with UHFM (I, 53.0%; IIa, 18.6%; IIb, 24.7%; III, 3.7%; p < 0.001), no difference was observed in occurrence between the right and left sides (52.6% vs. 47.4%, p > 0.05). Among patients with BHFM, prevalence of different Pruzansky-Kaban types on the right and left sides was greater than that of the same type on both sides (67.6% vs. 32.4%, p < 0.05). Despite hypoplasia of the condyle/ramus complex, compensatory growth of the mandibular body on the ipsilateral side occurred in 35 patients (14.1%). Class I and II molar relationships were more prevalent than Class III molar relationships (93.2% vs. 6.8%, p < 0.001). Forty-eight patients (19.3%) had other anomalies, with 50.0% and 14.4% in the BHFM and UHFM groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with HFM require individualized diagnosis and treatment planning because of diverse phenotypes and associations with other anomalies.

Objectives: The effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}2\;(PPAR{\gamma}2)$ Pro12Ala (P12A) polymorphism on body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes are well documented; however, until now, only a few studies have evaluated the effects of this polymorphism on body fat distribution. This study was conducted to elucidate the effects of this polymorphism on computed tomography (CT)-measured body fat distribution and other obesity-related parameters in Korean female subjects. Methods & Results: The frequencies of $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotypes were: PP type, 93.0%; PA type, 6.8%; and AA type, 0.2%. The frequency of the A allele was 0.035. Body weight (P .012), BMI (P .012), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (P .001) were significantly higher in subjects with PA/AA compared with subjects with PP. When body composition was analyzed by bioimpedance analysis, lean body mass and body water content were similar between the 2 groups. However, body fat mass (P .003) and body fat percent (P .025) were significantly higher in subjects with PA/AA compared with subjects with PP. Among overweight subjects with BMI of greater than 25, PA/AA was associated with significantly higher abdominal subcutaneous fat (P .000), abdominal visceral fat (P .031), and subcutaneous upper and lower thigh adipose tissue (P .010 and .013). However, among lean subjects with BMI of less than 25, no significant differences associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype were found, suggesting that the fat-accumulating effects of the PA/AA genotype were evident only among overweight subjects, but not among lean subjects. When serum lipid profiles, glucose, and liver function indicators were compared among overweight subjects, no significant difference associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype was found. Changes in body weight, BMI, WHR, and body fat mass were measured among overweight subjects who finished a 1-month weight lose program of a hypocaloric diet and exercise; no significant differences associated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$ genotype were found. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the $PPAR{\gamma}2$ PA/AA genotype is associated with increased subcutaneous and visceral fat areas in overweight Korean female subjects, but does not significantly affect serum biochemical parameters and outcomes of weight loss programs.

목적 : 본 연구는 1997년에 개정된 비인강암에 대한 AJCC병기 분류법을 1992년의 분류법과 비교하여 새로운 병기 분류법의 신뢰성을 평가하고자 시행되었다. 재료 및 방법 : 1983년부터 1996년까지 서울대학교 병원 치료방사선과에 방사선 치료를 위해 내원한 185명의 조직학적으로 확진되고 원격전이의 증거가 없는 비인강암 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 이들 환자들에 대하여 의무 기록과 전산화 단층촬영, 자기공명영상을 검토하여 1992년 병기 분류법과 1997년 병기 분류법에 따라 병기를 분류하였고 각 병기 분류법에 따라 생존율을 산출하였다. 결과 : 1992년 분류법과 1997년 분류법에 따른 5년 생존율은 병기 I에서 각각 100$\%$; 병기 II에서는 100$\%$ 와 68.8$\%$; 병기 III에서는 61.4$\%$ 와 63.8$\%$; 병기 IV에서는 61.1$\%$ 와 63.2$\%$ 였다. 각각의 분류법으로 산출한 5년 생존율은 각각의 병기분류법 내에서 병기에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으나 양 분류법 간에는 병기 II를 제외하고는 통계학적인 차이는 없었다. 결론 : 새로운 비인강암의 AJCC 병기분류법은 이전의 1992년 분류법과 비교하여 신뢰할 수 있을 것으로 생각되나 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 임상적 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose When a surgeon examines the morphology of skull of patient, locations of craniometric landmarks of 3D computed tomography(CT) volume are one of the most important information for surgical purpose. The locations of craniometric landmarks can be found manually by surgeon from the 3D rendered volume or 2D sagittal, axial, and coronal slices which are taken by CT. Since there are many landmarks on the skull, finding these manually is time-consuming, exhaustive, and occasionally inexact. These inefficiencies raise a demand for a automatic localization technique for craniometric landmark points. So in this paper, we propose a novel method through which we can automatically find these landmark points, which are useful for surgical purpose. Materials and Methods At first, we align the experimental data (CT volumes) using Frankfurt Horizontal Plane (FHP) and Mid Sagittal Plane(MSP) which are defined by 3 and 2 cranial landmark points each. The target landmark of our experiment is the anterior nasal spine. Prior to constructing a statistical cubic model which would be used for detecting the location of the landmark from a given CT volume, reference points for the anterior nasal spine were manually chosen by a surgeon from several CT volume sets. The statistical cubic model is constructed by calculating weighted intensity means of these CT sets around the reference points. By finding the location where similarity function (squared difference function) has the minimal value with this model, the location of the landmark can be found from any given CT volume. Results In this paper, we used 5 CT volumes to construct the statistical cubic model. The 20 CT volumes including the volumes, which were used to construct the model, were used for testing. The range of age of subjects is up to 2 years (24 months) old. The found points of each data are almost close to the reference point which were manually chosen by surgeon. Also it has been seen that the similarity function always has the global minimum at the detection point. Conclusion Through the experiment, we have seen the proposed method shows the outstanding performance in searching the landmark point. This algorithm would make surgeons efficiently work with morphological informations of skull. We also expect the potential of our algorithm for searching the anatomic landmarks not only cranial landmarks.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation and ratio between the calcaneal length and width for predicting the width of calcaneus. Materials and Methods: A total of 190 feet (190 patients) were included based on computed tomography scans. The length of calcaneus (CL) was measured on the line connecting the center of a circle tangent to the cortical margin in the anterior and posterior parts of the calcaneus in a sagittal plane (W1, W2). The width of the calcaneus was defined as the horizontal line of each part (W1, W2, W3) on the same axial plane. The relationship between the measurement was determined through a correlation analysis. The reliability was assessed based on intraclass correlation coefficients. Results: The CL and widths of calcaneus (W1, W2, W3) had a good positive correlation (r=0.848 [W1/CL], r=0.738 [W2/CL], r=0.769 [W3/CL]; p<0.001). The mean CL and widths ratios were 0.33 (W1/CL), 0.37 (W2/CL), and 0.37 (W3/CL). Using these ratios to estimate the widths by multiplying each ratio by the measured calcaneal length, we found a difference between the estimated calcaneal widths and the actual measured calcaneal widths values was 0.25 mm, 0.43 mm, and 0.16 mm. All measurements showed good-to-excellent inter- and intraobserver reliability. Conclusion: This study analyzed the correlation and ratio between the length and width of the calcaneus. The results will help orthopedic surgeons fixate screws in a stable manner to prevent iatrogenic injuries to the medial neurovascular structures of the calcaneus.
