미세하게 분쇄된 폐타이어 분말(GTR)과 미발포 $Expancel^{(R)}$ 분말이 경질 폴리우레탄 발포체(PUF)의 열전도 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 마이크론 크기로 분쇄된 GTR과 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도 영역에서 약 40배 부피로 팽창 가능한 $Expancel^{(R)}$ 미세분말을 사용하였고 이들이 경질 PUF 생성 시의 발포 기핵제 역할에 의한 기포크기 감소효과 및 이로 인한 PUF의 열전도특성 개선 효과를 집중적으로 살펴보았다. 연구의 결과로서, GTR이 충전된 PUF 샘플들의 열전도도는 GTR 함량이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 현상을 나타내는 반면, $Expancel^{(R)}$이 도입된 샘플들은 농도에 따라 약간 감소하는 특성을 보여 주었다. 이러한 결과로부터 GTR은 PUF 생성에서 증량제의 역할이 상대적으로 우세하여 단열 특성에 기여하지 못하는 반면, $Expancel^{(R)}$은 분말의 표면극성으로 인한 발포 기핵 작용에 의하여 셀 크기를 감소시킴으로서 단열효과에 기여할 수 있는 것으로 생각되었다.

탈회냉동건조골 (DFDBA)과 ePTFE막을 사용한 경우와 ePTFE만을 사용한 경우의 조직유도 재생술의 효과를 관찰하였다 . 12명의 환자에서 12개의 골내낭결손부(한 환자당 하나의 결손부)를 통상적인 치주수술 시행한 경우를 대조군(GFS)으로 , 12명의 환자에서 12개의 결손부는 ePTFE(GTR)막 만으로 , 또 다른 환자의 12개결손부는 ePTFE+DFDBA로 시행하였다. 창상안정과 감염방지를 강조한 술후계획이 사용되었다. 술후 6개월째 임상적 치유상태를 평가 하였다. 대조군에서 치주낭깊이, 부착수준, 탐침골깊이, 치은퇴축의 각각의 평균치는 $3.4{\pm}1.3mm$, $2.0{\pm}1.2mm$, $1.3{\pm}2.0mm$, $-1.7{\pm}0.8mm$, GTR 군에서는 $4.3{\pm}l.3mm$, $3.1{\pm}1.5mm$, $4.2{\pm}2.2mm$, $-11{\pm}1.4mm$ 그리고 GTR+DFDBA 군에서는 $3.4{\pm}2.1mm$, $2.4{\pm}1.9mm$, $2.6{\pm}1.6mm$, $-1.2{\pm}1.7mm$를 보였다. 대조군과 GTR+DFDBA 군의 술전 평균 치주낭깊이는 각각 $6.9{\pm}1.1$, $7.4{\pm}1.2$, $7.0{\pm}2.0mm$였다. GTR, GTR+DFDBA군에서는 뚜렸한 치주낭감소와 부착획득을 보였다(P<0.01). GTR, GTR+DFDBA 에서는 대조군에 비해 탐침골수준의 뚜렷한 향상을 보였으나(P<0.001), GTR 과 GTR+DFDBA 사이에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 이 실험결과로 골내낭 결손부에서 GTR과 GTR+DFDBA의 사용은 골형성을 제외한 임상결과 에서 대조군과 유사한 결과를 보였다.

We report a long-term survival case of a primary malignant intracerebral nerve sheath tumor (MINST) occurring in the right frontal lobe of a 13-year old boy. After the gross total resection (GTR), we have performed radiation therapy but it recurred 50 months after the surgery, so the second GTR was performed. Later, second tumor recurrence was found 4 months after the second surgery. Subsequently the third GTR, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were carried out. At present, the patient has been remaining alive for 77 months without evidence of tumor recurrence. According to the previous reports, the primary MINST is very rare : there are only 8 cases reported. It is also a fast-growing, invasive tumor with poor outcome. This is the first case that had no recurrence for 50 months after the surgery among the reported cases that had been followed up for more than 5 years. It is supposed that a period of recurrence free survival after GTR and low mitotic activity are associated with the patient's prognosis. A GTR followed by adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy will be recommended to patients of MINST.

During decades, there has been much progress in understanding of the inelastic behavior of the materials and numerous inelastic constitutive equations have been developed. The complexity of these constitutive equations generally requires a stable and accurate numerical method. To obtain the increment of state variable, its evolution laws are linearized by several approximation methods, such as general midpoint rule(GMR) or general trapezoidal rule(GTR). In this investigation, semi-implicit integration schemes using GTR and GMR were developed and implemented into ABAQUS by means of UMAT subroutine. The comparison of integration schemes was conducted on the simple tension case, and simple shear case and nonproportional loading case. The fully implicit integration(FI) was the most stable but amplified the truncation error when the nonlinearity of state variable is strong. The semi-implicit integration using GTR gave the most accurate results at tension and shear problem. The numerical solutions with refined time increment were always placed between results of GTR and those of FI. GTR integration with adjusting midpoint parameter can be recommended as the best integration method for viscoplastic equation considering nonlinear kinematic hardening.

Early implantation before sufficient ossification has taken place usually results in osseointegartion failure due to reduced bone-fixture interface area. However, various studies have shown successful osseointegration results following immediate implants concurrently with GTR. The clinical trends have been to shorten the patients' edentulous state by immediate implantation, and reduce the alveolar bone resorption. However, it may be difficult to attain the complete soft tissue coverage of the sites, increasing the chance of infection. Furthermore, there may be more studies needed on the clinical behaviors of e-PTFE membranes, various modofications in the membrane materials and bone graft materials. Various animal and clinical studies have been reported on the successful osseointagration following immediate implantation, but the long-term follow-up studies are limited. The present study investigated 16 immediately-implanted implants with GTR therapy with or without calcium carbonate grafting on 11 patients 3 years after installation and 24-30 months after functional loading. Based on the clinical, radiographic and histologic findings, the following results have been attained. 1. Clinically, stability has been shown on all 16 implants throughout the investigated periods. 2. Radiologically, the alveolar bone loss has progressed up to the polished neck portion but not beyond it, suggesting the progressive osseointegration from the GTR therapy. 3. The GTR method used in the present study is easy to use clinically, and may be appied in the regeneration of ossoeous defects around implants and in the immediate implantation. 4. The difficulty in complete tissue coverage may be avoided by delaying the installation for 2 to 3 weeks after the extraction allowing certain degree of soft tissue healing.

Objective : The aim of this study was to describe a single center's experience in the management of craniopharyngiomas in children over a 15-year period. Methods : The clinical records of pediatric patients treated for craniopharyngiomas between December 1995 and February 2011 were reviewed. Thirty-five pediatric patients diagnosed with craniopharyngioma were treated, and their medical records and imaging data were analyzed retrospectively. Results : The mean follow-up duration was 76 months (range, 10-195). Overall survival and local control rates at 10 years were $94.7{\pm}5.1%$ and $37.1{\pm}11.9%$, respectively. The female-to-male ratio was 16 : 19, and the mean age was 8.6 years (range, 1-17). Initially, gross total resection (GTR) was performed in 30 patients; subtotal resection (STR) followed by radiotherapy was performed in 5 patients. Of the 14 cases that showed recurrence after GTR, 5 patients were treated with GTR, 1 with radiation therapy (RT), 4 with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS), and 4 with subtotal resection followed by RT. No patients who underwent RT or GKRS had recurrences. Two cases with recurrence after STR followed by RT were treated with GTR. One patient died of hormonal insufficiency 64 months after the first surgery. The overall median time progression was 51.2 months (range, 3-182) : 49.7 months in the patients who underwent GTR and 60.2 months in the patients who underwent STR followed by RT. Conclusion : If safe resection is possible, GTR at the initial treatment should be attempted to reduce the tumor recurrence. However, if the tumor recurs after the first surgery, RT or GKRS with/without reoperation may be an effective salvage treatment for recurrent craniopharyngioma.

Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of sphenoid wing meningioma with periorbital invasion (PI) after operation. Methods : Sixty one patients with sphenoid wing meningioma were enrolled in this study. Their clinical conditions were monitored after the operation and followed up more than 5 years at the outpatient clinic of a single institution. Clinical and radiologic information of the patients were all recorded including the following parameters : presence of PI, presence of peri-tumor structure invasion, pathologic grade, extents of resection, presence of hyperostosis, exophthalmos index (EI), and surgical complications. We compared the above clinical parameters of the patients with sphenoid wing meningioma in the presence or absence of PI (non-PI), then linked the analyzed data with the clinical outcome of the patients. Results : Of 61 cases, there were 14 PI and 47 non-PI patients. PI group showed a significantly higher score of EI (1.37±0.24 vs. 1.00±0.01, p<0.001), more frequent presence of hyperostosis (85.7% vs. 14.3%, p<0.001), and lower rate of gross total resection (GTR) (35.7% vs. 68.1%, p=0.032). The lower score of pre-operative EI, the absence of both PI and hyperostosis, smaller tumor size, and the performance of GTR were associated with lower recurrence rates in the univariate analysis. However, in the multivariate analysis, the performance of GTR was the only significant factor to determine the recurrence rate (p=0.043). The incidences of surgical complications were not statistically different between the subtotal resection (STR) and GTR groups, but it was strongly associated tumor size (p=0.017). Conclusion : The GTR group showed lower recurrence rate than the STR group without differences in the surgical complications. Therefore, the GTR is strongly recommended to treat sphenoid wing meningioma with PI for the better clinical outcome.

본 연구에서는 acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber(NBR)/타이어고무분말(Ground Tire Rubber, GTR) 블렌드계의 발포체를 제조하고, 이들의 난연성을 증진시키고자 하였다. 그 결과 난연제 중 유기인 화합물 및 무기금속 수산화물의 함량 증가에 따라 난연성이 증진됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 유기인 화합물의 경우 함량 증가에 따라 한계산소지수(LOI)가 증가하고, 열 방출 속도(HRR) 및 유효 연소열(EHC)이 감소하는 반면에 CO 방출률(량) 및 역기밀도가 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 무기금속 수산화물은 함량 증가에 따라 난연효과 뿐만 아니라 열기발생 억제효과를 동시에 가짐으로써 LOI, HRR, EHC가 유기인 화합물 첨가에서와 같은 경향성을 보여주었지만 CO 방출률(량) 및 연기밀도에 있어서는 유기인 화합물 첨가에서와 상이하게 감소하였다. 그리고 난연성을 판단함에 있어 중요한 변수들인 열 방출속도, 유효 연소열, 무게감소, 한계산소지수간의 상관관계를 확인하였는데, A-HRR과 LOI가 증가함에 따라 질량손실이 각각 증가 혹은 감소하는 뚜렷한 경향성을 확인하였다. 이로써 NBR/GTR의 조성비기 $100{\sim}80/0{\sim}20 wt.%$이고 고무/난연제의 조성비가 $1/1.55{\sim}3.60 wt.%$일 때, 원활한 핵의 생성 및 cell의 성장으로 인해 균일한 closed cell 및 semi-closed cell을 보여주었다. 또한 $225{\sim}250 %$의 발포율을 보이며, 낯은 HRR과 높은 LOI($28.0{\sim}39.3$)를 갖는 난연성 및 발포성이 우수한 발포체를 얻을 수 있었다.
