  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to explore research trends in gold implantation therapy performed on the animal and human body, through a review of clinical studies focused on gold thread, gold needle and gold bead. Methods : Medical databases, including Pubmed, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, RISS4u, KISTI, OASIS and KTKP, were searched for relevant articles published from their launch to December 31, 2015 using the key word 'gold' with '$thread^*$', '$needle^*$', '$acupuncture^*$', '$wire^*$', '$bead^*$', '$embed^*$', '$implant^*$', or '$insert^*$'. The results were classified into in vivo studies, clinical trials and clinical reports. Analysis of the results was conducted in several research areas, from the identity of studies such as nationality and published year, to the gold preparations-features and implanted locations and to the outcomes that reflect the clinically favorable or adverse effect of gold implantation therapy. Results : A total of 30 studies including 11 in vivo studies, 4 clinical trials and 15 case reports, were found in the search. We observed certain research trends according to the research time, nationality and target indication of the studies. The studies primarily revealed a chronic local inflammatory response which could be a useful mechanism for pain-relief in musculoskeletal diseases and facial rejuvenation. Researches concerning long-term reactions or adverse effects were rare. Conclusion : The results show that the efforts to discover the level of clinical efficacy of gold implantation therapy were steady and worldwide. However, further researches on the longterm effect, and more importantly, the safety of gold implantation therapy are required.

  • 목 적: Fiducial Gold Marker가 삽입된 전립선암 양성자 치료 시 DIPS를 이용하여 전립선의 위치변화를 관찰하고, 전립선의 움직임에 따른 보정 및 양성자치료에 관한 연구를 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2008년 4월 이후로 본원에서 양성자치료를 받은 10명의 전립선암환자를 대상으로 하였다. 전립선의 위치변화를 관찰하기위해 치료 전에 전립선에 3개의 Fiducial Gold Marker를 삽입하였고, 전립선의 움직임을 최소화하기 위해 치료 전에 소변을 보고, 매일 정량의 물을 섭취하며, Rectal balloon을 함께 시행하였다. 환자의 처음 치료자세는 CT 모의치료 때와 같고, DIPS (Digital Image Positioning System)를 이용하여 AP, Lat 촬영을 하여 얻은 영상과 치료계획에서 얻은 PA, Lat 영상을 비교하여, Fiducial Gold Marker 위치변화(X, Y, Z) 관찰하였고, 이에 따른 보정 후에 양성자치료를 시행하였다. 결 과: 치료계획에서 얻은 영상과 DIPS를 이용하여 얻은 영상의 각각의 Fiducial Gold Marker의 위치변화 차이는 10명 환자에 있어서 치료 중심을 기준으로 평균 X축: $\pm$0.116 cm, Y축: $\pm$0.19 cm, Z축: $\pm$0.176 cm이었다. 10명의 환자 중 X축으로 최고 RT: 0.24 cm, 최저 RT: 0.04 cm의 위치변화 차이가 나타났고, Y축으로 최고 Sup: 0.42 cm, 최저 Inf: 0.03 cm 위치변화 차이가 나타났고, Z축으로 최고 Ant: 0.35 cm, 최저 Post: 0.05 cm의 위치변화 차이가 관찰되었다. 결 론: 전립선의 움직임을 최소화 하기위해 치료 전에 전처치로 소변을 보고, 매일 정량의 물을 섭취하며, Rectal balloon을 시행하였으나, 모든 환자의 경우에서 전립선에 삽입된 3개의 Fiducial Gold Marker의 매일 움직임을 관찰할 수 있었다. 위 자료를 바탕으로 보다 정확한 치료 중심 설정이 요구되는 양성자치료에서 Gold Marker Matching System의 필요성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 본 연구에서 사용된 DIPS를 이용하여 전립선의 위치변화에 따른 치료 중심을 보정함으로써 보다 정밀한 양성자치료 효과를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • We have formulated hexagonal-shaped gold nanoplates in a single-step for photothermal therapy that gold ions to gold particles using pyrenyl dextran as reducible stabilizer and template. They exhibit anisotropic structure with broad surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band into near-infrared (NIR) spectrum enabling photothermal therapy. These gold nanoplates are also confirmed biocompatibility and high uptake efficiency due to binding with dextran molecules on the surface of gold nanoplates and cells. From in vitro phtothermal ablation study under NIR laser, gold nanoplates have the potential to use as photothermal agents.

  • Gold thread therapy (GTT) continuously stimulates acupoints and is used to treat chronic conditions/diseases such as chronic lumbar pain. During the procedure gold thread is embedded into the skin and although gold thread is medically pure, GTT is an irreversible treatment where there is limited evidence on its safety. Here, we report a case of a 79-year-old woman being treated for low back pain who developed side effects following moving cupping therapy at a site of GTT (performed in the 1970s). Adverse reactions causing radiating pain persisted more than at least 9 days following moving cupping therapy. The symptoms of pain were evaluated using the numerical rating scale, and changes in tenderness and the state of bruising was recorded. Low back pain improved but the radiating low leg pain did not improve. This case highlights the need for caution when performing moving cupping therapy where GTT has been previously performed.

  • Facial pores are a visible topographic feature of skin surfaces and are generally the enlarged openings of pilosebaceous follicles. Enlarged facial pores can be a significant cosmetic problem, particularly for women. Recently, gold nanoshell-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) has been reported to be effective in treating recurrent acne. The treatment of enlarged facial pores with gold nanoshell-mediated PTT produced excellent results with no side effects. The two cases reported here demonstrate the possibility of gold nanoshell-mediated PTT as a safe and effective treatment for enlarged facial pores.

  • 본 연구는 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막통증증후군에 미치는 영향을 스톤테라피와 비교 연구하여 임상에서 효율적인 간호 중재로서의 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 실시하였다. 수도권에 거주하는 여성 20명을 골드군(10명), 스톤군(10명)으로 나누어 2주간, 주 3회, 1회 40분 씩, 총 6회 관리를 실시하였다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목둘레, 좌 우 어깨 넓이, 좌 우 견갑골 하각 넓이, 전 후 어깨 두께, 허리둘레가 관리전과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미한 감소를 보였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목 우측굴, 목 좌측굴, 목 굴곡, 목 신전 각도 변화에서 관리전에 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미하게 증가하였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막이완과 통증 완화에 효과적인 간호중재 방법임이 확인되어 비침습적인 안전한 방법으로 활용할 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

  • Advances in nanobiotechnology have presented numerous possibilities of more effective diagnostic and therapeutic options. In particular, gold nanoparticles have demonstrated the potential for application in molecular imaging and treatment of cancers, including drug delivery system of certain target molecules, enhancement of radiation therapy, and photothermal treatment. This review discusses the properties, mechanism of action, and clinical application of gold nanoparticles. Although the safety of nanoparticles is yet to be ascertained, there is no doubt that in the future, nanotechnology will play an important role in the development and enhancement of a wide range of diagnostic and treatment modalities.

  • Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disease of the pilose-baceous unit. It appears as lesions consisting of comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules of varying shapes and severity. In general, the first-line treatment for acne vulgaris includes topical and oral medication. Recently, various physical modalities have also been investigated. The use of laser therapy is steadily increasing because of its fewer side effects, short procedure time, and rapid results. In particular, laser therapy assisted with carbon suspension application is effective for acne vulgaris but may sometimes result in discomfort due to odor and dust formation during the procedure. Herein, we report that acne vulgaris and enlarged facial pores can be safely and effectively treated with laser therapy assisted with diamond particle suspension and gold microparticle application, which can address the discomfort caused by the carbon suspension application.

  • Targeted intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents is one of the great challenges for cancer treatment. Aptamers that bind to a variety of biological targets have emerged as new targeting moieties with high specificity for targeted cancer therapy. In this study, near-infrared (NIR) light-absorbing hollow gold nanocages (AuNCs) were synthesized and conjugated with AS1411 aptamer to achieve cancer-targeted photothermal therapy. AuNC functionalized with PEG and AS1411 (AS1411-PEG-AuNC) exhibited selective cellular uptake in breast cancer cells due to selective binding of AS1411 to nucleolin, a protein that is over-expressed in cancer cells over normal cells. As a result, AS1411-PEG-AuNC showed cancer-targeted photothermal activity. This study demonstrates that aptamer-conjugated AuNCs are effective tumor-targeting photothermal agents.

  • 본 연구에서는 양성자 치료에서 치료부위에 금 마커를 삽입하였을 때 양성자 빔의 선량과 그 분포에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 1.2 mm 직경에 3 mm 길이의 원통형 금 마커가 사용되었고 양성자 빔의 여러 위치에서 각각의 선량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 3차원 moving 팬텀과 유효 반경이 0.5 mm인 정위적 방사선 치료용 다이로드 검출기를 이용하여 금마커의 방사선 선량으로의 영향을 결정하였다. Gafchromic film을 이용한 필름에 의한 선량 평가도 시행하였다. 그리고 선량-체적관계 히스토그램을 통한 분석을 위하여 GEANT4 전산 모의 도구 모음을 이용한 전산모의를 실시하였다. 마커의 움직임에 대한 영향성을 평가하기 위하여 직장 풍선을 적용하고 금 마커를 삽입한 10명의 환자에 대한 MV 영상을 이용하였다. 하나의 금 마커에 의하여 처방선량의 95% 이하가 들어간 체적은 0.15 cc로 작지만 그 체적은 치료부위 안쪽에 위치하고 평행이동에 대하여 발려져서 없어지지 않았다. 금 마커의 위치와 양성자 빔의 상태에 따라서 선량분포에 각각 다른 영향을 미치고 이는 임상치료에서 충분히 고려되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
