Burns can be caused by fire, chemicals, heated object and fluids. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. Algin is known as natural polymer marine plants, we prepared the official burn ointment which is made by Algin. This burn ointment was covered on the skin wound of artificial burned and their effect of healing was investigated by the evaluation of histological and hematological change as a function of time. The result of rats test showed that burn ointments made from Algin was effective in formation of the new tissue and reduction of inflammation.

This study presents a detailed pharmacognostical study of the root and leaf of the crude drug Clerodendrum viscosum Vent. (Verbenaceae), an important plant in the Indian system of medicine. The root and leaf samples were studied using light and confocal microscopy, WHO recommended-physicochemical determinations, and authentic phytochemical procedures. The physicochemical, morphological, and histological parameters presented in this paper may be proposed as parameters to establish the authenticity of C. viscosum root and leaf, and may possibly help to differentiate the drug from its other species.

We investigated the reliablity of the ultrasonography for diagnosis of rotatar cuff taers. We prepared histological sections of forty shoulder joints In match the ultrasound planes, and conducted a comparative study of tke two sets of images. hi cases of rotator cuff tear, hyperechogenic and cartilaginfication of the tear site were detected as hyperechogenic foci. On the countrary, the regions in which tendon fibers were decreased or absent showed sonolucent areas. We caluculated the echo level of rotator cuff objectively. The area of abnormal echo level and the other regions located in the same depth of the rotator cuff were defined by ultrasonic equipment. The mein difference in these two echo levels was calculated. The mean difference in patients with rotator cuff tears was larger than that in normal cases. These results indicate that ultrasonography is a useful procedure in many patients with rotator cuff lesions.

Hemangioblastoma is a benign tumor of vascular origin that develops usually in the posterior cranial fossa. We report a case of supratentorial leptomeningeal hemangioblastoma occurring in a 45-year-old man who received total removal of recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma four years ago. He was admitted for the evaluation of severe headache and magnetic resonance image showed a well-enhanced, extra-axial mass in the right parietal region. A presumptive diagnosis was meningioma. It was completely removed with the attached dura. Histological examination including immunohistochemical study showed typical findings of hemangioblastoma. It is emphasized that close observation may be necessary for hemangioblastoma, even after total removal.

This paper describes the computed tomographic features of ovarian masses in dogs. The CT images of female dogs with a confirmed histological diagnosis of ovarian tumors or ovarian cystic diseases were studied retrospectively. Seven dogs met the inclusion criteria. The morphological features of ovarian tumors and ovarian cystic diseases coincided to a certain degree, but ovarian tumors tended to be predominantly solid. Objective measurements of Hounsfield units (HU) suggest that benign lesions may show lower HU values than malignant tumors and mild contrast enhancement because of the small soft tissue composition. CT is useful for a differential diagnosis of ovarian masses by providing additional information on the imaging features of the masses and an evaluation of metastases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the critical diabetes duration in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat calvarial defect model for experimentation regarding bone regeneration by evaluating the association between diabetes duration and bone healing capacity through histological and radiographic analyses. Methods: Experimental diabetes was induced in 50 of 60 rats by an STZ injection. The rats were divided into 5 groups, including a control group (group 1), according to diabetes durations of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, respectively. Eighteen rats survived: 4 in group 1, 4 in group 2, 4 in group 3, 5 in group 4, and 1 in group 5. Calvarial defects were created at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after STZ injection in groups 1-5. Cone-beam computed tomography scanning was performed at baseline and at 5 and 7 weeks after surgery. The rats were sacrificed 7 weeks after surgery, followed by histological evaluation. Results: The voxel gray values (VGVs) of group 1 and group 2 increased, whereas the VGVs of group 3 and group 4 decreased starting 5 weeks after surgery, although this trend did not reach statistical significance between groups. On the reconstructed 3-dimensional images and based on an analysis of histological features, groups 1 and 2 showed apparent bone regeneration, while groups 3-5 showed very limited bone regeneration. Conclusions: The critical diabetes duration in an STZ-induced diabetic rat calvarial defect model for experimentation regarding bone regeneration was between 2 and 4 weeks. It is suggested that researchers who use STZ-induced diabetic rats wait for more than 2 weeks following diabetes induction before placing implants or conducting bone regeneration studies to allow definite disturbances in bone healing to emerge.

매선요법은 다른 시술에 비해 비침습적이고, 인체 내에서 생분해가 일어나는 물질로 제작되기 때문에 성형수술에서 각광받고 있다. 상업적으로 이용가능한 매선의 종류로는 poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycarprolactone (PCL), polydioxanone (PDO) 등이 있으나, 매선으로 사용되는 생분해성 물질들의 종류에 따른 차이점이나, 콜라겐을 형성하는데 있어서 매선의 어떤 부분이 결정적으로 작용하는지에 대한 연구는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 현재 판매되고 있는 3가지 생분해성 물질(PLLA, PCL, PDO)로 만들어진 매선을 동물모델에서 그 효과를 비교하고, 매선의 콜라겐생성능에 미치는 영향 인자가 무엇인지를 분석하였다. 매선을 랫드의 등에 삽입하여 2주, 4주, 8주, 12주동안 경과를 관찰하고 특수염색을 통해 콜라겐의 생성 정도를 비교하였다. 매선에 의한 조직학적 변화를 관찰하기 위해서, 조직검체는 H&E, Masson's trichrome, Herovici's collagen stain이 진행되었다. 그 결과 3가지 모두 다 동일한 시기에 비슷한 양의 신생콜라겐을 형성하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 3가지 매선 모두 type 3의 콜라겐을 형성하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 생성되는 콜라겐의 양은 매선이 피부조직에 닿는 면적이 크면 클수록 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있어 한 번의 시술만으로도 많은 양의 매선이 들어갈 수 있는 PDO cavern타입의 매선이 가장 많은 콜라겐을 형성하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

상황버섯(Phellinus linteus)은 건강 증진 및 질병의 치료를 목적으로 널리 사용되는 약용버섯으로서 항산화효과와 항암효과를 비롯한 다양한 생물학적 활성을 갖는다. 상황버섯은 주로 추출물이나 분말의 형태로 복용되고 있으며, 최근 분쇄기법의 발달로 초미세분말 형태의 제품이 상용화되면서 식이 안전성에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 본 연구는 상황버섯 초미세분말과 일반 미세분말을 동물에게 먹인 후 입자의 크기에 따른 식이안전성을 평가하기 위해 실시되었다. 부피평균에 의한 입도분석 결과, 상황버섯 초미세분말(SPL)과 미세분말(FPL) 입자의 평균지름은 각각 11.8 ${\mu}m$와 216.1 ${\mu}m$였고, d (0.5)는 각각 5.5 ${\mu}m$와 147.9 ${\mu}m$였다. 동물의 체중, 사료 섭취량 및 각 기관의 무게를 관찰한 결과 SPL군은 정상군(N)이나 FPL군과 비교하여 통계학적 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 혈액학 및 생화학적 검사에서는 ALT(N vs. FPL, P<0.001)와 BUN(N vs. FPL, P<0.01; N vs. SPL, P<0.01)이 정상군과 비교하여 차이를 보였으나 FPL군과 SPL군 사이의 유의성은 발견되지 않았으며, 그 밖의 다른 검사항목들은 모두 정상범위 내에 포함되었다. 또한 조직학적 검사 결과에서도 비정상적인 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 이 연구 결과는 초미세 가공된 상황버섯을 경구투여할 경우 혈액학, 생화학, 조직학적인 측면에서 동물에게 유해하지 않다는 것을 말해준다. 그러나 다량의 초미세입자가 소화기와 장기간 접촉할 경우 일어날 수 있는 조직학적 유해성에 대한 심도 깊은 연구는 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
