Authors investigated whether there is a lateral effect of $^1$H MRS observable metabolite ratios between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side in the early stage of Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom. Localized in vivo $^1$H MR spectroscopy (MRS) was used to measure the metabolite levels in the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic sides of the lentiform nucleus in Parkinson"s disease with unilateral symptom (N=25). The metabolite ratios of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr in the symptomatic side were compared with those in the nonsymptomatic side. Significant metabolic lateral effect of NAA/(Cho+Cr) ratio was established between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side of lentiform nucleus in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom (p<0.05). The ratio of NAA/(Cho+Cr) homolateral to the sympatomatic side of the patient is also lower than that of the control (P<0.05). On the basis of NAA/Cr ratios of lentiform nucleus between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side, the present $^1$H MRS study shows a significant neuronal laterality in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom. In vivo $^1$H MRS may provide a diagnostic marker for neuronal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom.

An eipdural hematoma in an infant is a very rare entity. We report a case of an acute traumatic intracranial epidural hematoma that developed with a lucid interval in a 4-month-old infant after a fall down from a bed. The infant was admitted at the emergency room. The child had initially cried and may have had a decreased level of consciouseness due to brain injury, but then returned to normal level of consciousness for several hours prior to admission. However, the infant had vomited twice after taking milk and then was lethargic. The brain CT revealed a lentiform-shaped huge hematoma on the right parietal area with a midline shift of 8 mm. An osteoplastic craniotomy was performed, and the intracranial epidural hematoma was totally removed. Postoperatively, the infant recovered well and was dischaged.

The morphological development of lingual papillae in fetuses between 60, 90, 120 days gestation and neonates of Korean native goat were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. In 60 day old fetuses, the primordia of lingual papillae were observed on the dorsal surface epithelium and those of papillae were primordial fungiform, vallate and conical papillae. The many of microridges and microplicae were observed on the surface of those epithelial cells. In 90 day old fetuses, the rudiment of lentiform and filiform papillae were appeared. There were microplicaes on the surface of the conical papillae epithelium. In the 120 day old fetuses, the lingual papillaes were well developed. The taste bud were opened on the top of vallate papillae that were compactly many of short microvilli. Moreover, secondary papillae partially were observed on top of vallate papillae. In neonate, the fungiform, vallate and lentiform papillae were similar to the adult lingual papillae, but filiform and conical papillae were different from the mature lingual papillae. The outline of filiform papillae were irregularly in indented, but those of conical papillae were regularly. The diameters of filiform, fungiform, conical, vallate and lentiform papillae were about 80~100, 190~250, 230~470, 360~670 and $730{\sim}1,140{\mu}m$, respectively. The height of filiform and conical papillae were about $130{\sim}140{\mu}m$ and $145{\sim}250{\mu}m$.

This studies were carried out to identify the characteristics of the tongue of Korean native goat(Capra hircus) by macroscopy, microscopy and scanning microscopy. Korean native goat had torus linguae, median lingual sulcus, lingual fossa and ventral median fissure but did not have glossoepiglottic fold and terminal sulcus in the tongue. The whole length of tongue was $11.51{\pm}0.76cm$. The length of tongue apex, tongue body, tongue root and the torus linguae were $2.62{\pm}0.28$, $7.39{\pm}0.27$, $1.56{\pm}0.26$ and $6.37{\pm}0.29cm$, respectively. The width of tongue apex, torus linguae and tongue root were $3.41{\pm}0.24$, $3.74{\pm}0.29$ and $3.68{\pm}0.11$, respectively. The thickness of tongue apex was $1.60{\pm}0.10$, and the height of torus linguae was $1.52{\pm}0.15cm$. Filiform papillae were present at the tongue apex and the tongue body rostral to torus linguae. Fungiform papillae were scattered from tongue apex to rostral portion of torus linguae, being in abundance at the tongue apex. Vallate papillae were showed at the lateral portion of torus linguae, while lentiform papillae were present at its central portion. Conical papillae were located between vallate and lentiform papillae. The numbers of filiform, fungiform, conical, vallate and lentiform papillae were $46,980{\pm}1070.98$, $446.8{\pm}36.97$, $818.4{\pm}43.99$, $34.8{\pm}2.77$, and $255.6{\pm}39.30$, respectively. The average numbers of taste bud were $8.3{\pm}2.04$ in a fungiform papilla and $247.3{\pm}37.44$ in a vallate papilla. The filiform papilla had secondary and tertiary papillae. The height of filiform papilla was about $150{\mu}m$ and the diameter was $100{\mu}m$. The diameters of fungiform papillae were 350 to $550{\mu}m$. The long and short diameters of maximum-sized lentiform papilla were 4000 and $3000{\mu}m$, respectively, while those of minimum-sized papilla were 700 and $600{\mu}m$, respectively. The height of conical papillae was 450 to $600{\mu}m$ and diameter was 250 to $450{\mu}m$. The vallate papilla was round or oval in shape and its diameter was 500 to $850{\mu}m$. It had well-developed papillary groove around itself. The modified conical papillae were not observed in the tongue of Korean native goat.

Authors investigated neuronal changes of local cellular metabolism in the cerebral lesions of Parkinsonian symptomatic side between before and after stereotactic neurosurgery by follow-up 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) (n = 15) and age-matched normal controls (n = 15) underwen MRS examinations using a stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) pulse sequence that provided 2${\times}$2${\times}$2 ㎤ (8ml) volume of interest in the regions of substantia nigra, thalamus, and lentiform nucleus. Spectral parameters were 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages,2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points. Raw data were processed by the SAGE data analysis package (GE Medical Systems). Peak areas of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline-containing compounds (Cho), inositols (Ins), and the sum (Glx) of glutamate and GABA were calculated by means of fitting the spectrum to a summation of Lorentzian curves using Marquardt algorithm. After blindly processed, we evaluated neuronal alterations of observable metabolite ratios between before and after stereotactic neurosurgery using Pearson product-moment analysis (SPSS, Ver. 6.0). A significant reduction of NAA/Cho ratio was observed in the cerebral lesion in substantia nigra of PD patient related to the symptomatic side after neurosurgery (P : 0.03). In thalamus, NAA/Cho ratio was also significantly decreased in the cerebral lesion including the electrode-surgical region (P : 0.03). A significant reduction of NAA/Cho ratio in lentiform nucleus was not oberved, but tended toward significant reduction after neurosurgery (P = 0.08). In particular, remarkable lactate signal was noted from the surgical thalamic lesions of 6 among 8 patients and internal segments of globus pallidus of 6 among 7 patients, respectively. Significant metabolic alterations of NAA/Cho ratio might reflect functional changes of neuropathological processes in the lesion of substantia nigra, thalamus, and lentiform nucleus, and could be a valuable finding fur evaluation of Parkinson's disease after neurosurgery. Increase of lactate signals, being remarkable in surgical lesions, could be consistent with a common consequence of neurosurgical necrosis. Thus, IH MRS could be a useful modality to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic implications fur Parkinsons disease after functional neurosurgery.

We report a rare case of cavernous hemangioma (CH) which developed in adjacent location to a preexisting CH after gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS). A 36-year-old woman underwent GKRS for a CH in the left lentiform nucleus. Three-and-half years after radiosurgery, MRI revealed a new CH in the left caudate nucleus. Surgical excision of the new lesion was performed. The pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CH. In radiosurgery for CH, it should be noted that a new CH may develop, which is likely to result from the interaction between radiation and predisposing factors of the patient.

This study was carried out to investigate the morphological development of the tongue in the 60-, 90- and 120-day-old fetuses and neonates of Korean native goats by light microscopy. In 60-day-old fetuses, the tongue tissues were differentiated into epithelium, lamina propria, and muscle layer. The primordia of filiform, conical, lentiform, fungiform, and vallate papillae appeared by this time, and rudiments of taste buds were observed in the epithelia of the primordia gustatory papillae. The dorsal lingual epithelia were PAS positive. Collagenous fibers and blood vessels were present in the lamina propria. In 90-day-old fetuses, the gustatory glands were moderately positive for PAS and muscle fibers, and connective tissues were developed. In 120-day-old fetuses, many taste buds were observed in the gustatory papillae. The muscle bundles, collagenous fibers, blood vessels and gustatory glands were well developed. In neonates, over 40 taste buds were found in a transverse section of the vallate papillae. Muscle layers, blood vessels, collagenous fibers and gustatory glands were very well developed.

남,여 ADHD환자별 뇌혈류 상태를 비교분석하기 위하여 SPECT 영상을 획득하고, 유의수준에 따른 클러스터(cluster)의 분포변화와 혈류량 증가율과 감소율의 변화를 조사하였다. 남자 어린이 ADHD환자군 51명과 정상군 8명, 여자 어린이 ADHD환자군 13명과 정상군 4명에 대하여. Multi SPECT3 camera를 이용하여 $^{99m}Tc-ECD$를 정맥 주사후 30분에 영상을 획득하고, 뇌혈류 상태를 통계적 파라미터 지도작성법(SPM)으로 분석하였다. 정상 어린이군에 대한 남,여 환자군의 뇌혈류 증가와 감소부위의 분포를 통계적 유의수준 P<0.001부터 P<0.05 범위에서 나타내었다. 남자 어린이 ADHD환자군에서 유의수준 P<0.02에서부터 P<0.05까지 대상회전(post. cingurate gyrus)에서만 혈류가 증가되었다. 증가율의 변화는 유의수준에 영향을 받지 않았으며, 정상군보다 환자군은 평균 15.84%가 증가되었다. 여자의 경우, P<0.003에서 소뇌후엽 중앙상부, P<0.005에서 소뇌 중앙후엽과 좌측 대뇌변연엽(limbic lobe)에서 혈류증가 클러스터가 나타났다. P<0.009에서 P<0.01까지는 좌측대뇌 측두엽에서, P<0.02에서는 우측 대뇌측두엽과 좌측 대뇌 두정엽에서 혈류증가 클러스터가 나타났으며, 각 클러스터에서 평균 $24.68{\sim}31.25%$의 혈류증가율을 나타내었다. 남자 ADHD 질환군의 혈류 감소는 P<0.004에서 좌측의 대뇌 도이랑(Insula gyrus), P<0.005에서는 우측 대뇌 측두엽, P<0.007에서는 우측대뇌 전두엽, P<0.009에서 P<0.01까지는 좌측 대뇌전두엽 그리고 P<0.02에서는 대뇌전두엽 중앙이랑에서 혈류감소 클러스터가 나타났다. 혈류 감소율은 유의 수준에 의해 영향을 받지 않았으며 평균 $15.21{\sim}16.64%$의 감소율을 나타내었다. 여자어린이 ADHD환자에서는 P<0.001에서 좌측 대뇌렌즈핵(lentiform nucleus)에서만 감소되었으며, P<0.003에서는 좌우 대뇌렌즈핵에서 모두 감소되었고 P<0.005에서 P<0.01까지는 좌우의 렌즈핵 외 좌측 대뇌 측두엽이랑등 3개의 감소 클러스터가 나타났다. P<0.03에서는 좌측 대뇌두정엽과 전두엽에서 감소되었고, 평균 $30.57{\sim}30.84%$의 혈류감소율을 나타내었다. 혈류감소율은 유의수준의 변화에 영향을 받지 않았다. ADHD환자의 뇌혈류증가, 감소율이 남자보다 여자환자에서 2배 정도가 많았고, 혈류 증가와 감소클러스터분포의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나, ADHD환자의 분석은 남, 여별로 구분하여야 할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

목적 : 남, 여 ADHD 환자에서 뇌 혈류상태의 차이점을 알아보기 위하여, 다른 정신과적 질환이 없는 ADHD 환자의 SPECT 뇌혈류 영상에 대하여 SPM을 통한 뇌 혈류상태의 차이점을 비교분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 남자 ADHD 환자군 51 명 (4-11세, 평균 9.0세)과 정상군 8명(6-17세, 평균, 9.6세) 그리고, 여자 ADHD 환자군 13명(6-12세 평균 9.0세)과 정상군 4 명(6-12세 평균 9.0세)의 SPECT영상을 비교분석하였다. 방사성의약품 $^{99m}$ Tc-ECD 0.33mCi/kg을 환자의 정맥내에 주사하고 30분후 잠을 재운상태에서 Multi SPECT3 camera를 이용하여 영상을 기록하였다. Matlab을 이용한 SPM program에서 남여별 ADHD환자의 뇌혈류지도 영상을 비교하였으며, BOLD(blood oxygenation level dependent effect) data plotting을 이용하여 혈류증가율과 감소율을 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) 남자 ADHD환자군의 혈류증가부위의 경우, P<0.02 에서 대상회전 (cingulate gyrus)이 나타나 P<0.05까지 한 부위에서만 나타났으며, 정상군에 비하여 15.61%의 혈류증가율을 나타내었다. 혈류감소부위로는 P<0.004에서 좌측 대뇌 도이랑 (insula gyrus), P<0.005에서 우측 대뇌 측두엽이랑, P<0.007에서는 우측 대뇌 전두엽아래이랑에서 각각 감소되었으며 P<0.01에서는 좌측 대뇌 전두엽 아래이랑에서도 나타났다. ADHD 환자군은 정상군에 비하여 각각의 클러스터에서 평균 14.97-15.28%의 혈류 감소율을 보였다. 뇌 혈류의 증가율과 감소율은 유의 수준변화에 영향을 받지 않았다. 2) 여자 ADHD환자의 혈류증가의 경우 P<0.003에서 소뇌 후엽 중앙부위, P<0.005에서는 좌측 대뇌 변연엽, P<0.009에서는 좌측 대뇌 측두엽 그리고 P<0.02에서는 소뇌 후엽을 비롯하여 9개부분에서 혈류증가 클러스터가 나타났으며, ADHD환자군은 정상군에 비하여 24.68-31.25%의 혈류증가율을 나타내었다. 혈류감소를 나타낸 부위로는 P<0.001에서 좌측 대뇌의 렌즈핵(lentiform nucleus), P<0.003에서 우측 대뇌의 렌즈핵 그리고 P<0.005에서 P<0.01까지 좌측 대뇌 측두엽중심에서 나타났다. 각각의 클러스터에서 평균 혈류감소율은 30.57-30.84%이었다. 결론 : 남여ADHD 환자의 혈류 증가와 감소부위는 서로 일치하지 않았으며 여자의 경우 혈류 증가와 감소율이 남자보다 더 크게 나타나, ADHD환자의 SPECT를 이용한 분석에서 남여환자를 동시에 분석하는 것 보다는 남여환자를 구분하여 실시하는 것이 더욱 정확한 진단정보를 제공할 수 있다고 판단된다.
