Purpose: Most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are due to parathyroid adenoma or parathyroid hyperplasia. Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare cause of hyperparathyroidism. Although the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma is usually established by pathologic criteria especially of vascular or capsular invasion, some clinical and biochemical features differentiate it from benign forms of hyperparathyroidism. We under-took a retrospective study in 6 patients with parathyroid carcinoma, with the aim of conveying experience from management for this rare cause of hyperparathyroidism. Methods: Clinical symptoms, biochemical laboratory, radiologic, and intraoperative findings, local recurrence and distant metastasis were analyzed in 6 patients diagnosed pathologically as a parathyroid carcinoma after operation from 1992 to 2001. Results: Mean age was 50.2 years (33.0-60.0 years) and male to female ratio was 1:1. Neck mass was found in 5 patients, multiple bone pain in 3 patients and renal stone in 1 patient. One case has suffered from chronic renal failure for 19 years. Although preoperative laboratory evaluations showed the aspects of hyperparathyroidism in all cases, mean serum calcium level was 11.2mg/dl(10.5-12.1mg/dl), slightly elevated. Laboratory values after surgery were within the normal range in 5 cases. However, in one case with chronic renal failure, serum PTH levels, serially checked, were above the normal range. Any of imaging methods failed to suggest a parathyroid carcinoma preoperatively. Parathyroid adenoma was suspected in 3 cases, thyroid cancer in the other cases before surgery. The extent of resection was radical resection of parathyroid lesion with more than unilateral thyroid lobectomy and central compartment neck node dissection and in 2 cases, the resection of recurrent laryngeal nerve or strap muscles was added. During follow-up period, any local or systemic recurrence were not evident in all the cases. Conclusion: Although parathyroid carcinoma is a rare disease and its preoperative diagnosis, in our experience, could not easily be made, the understanding of characteristic clinical and biochemical feature could help diagnosis at first surgery. Radical resection without remaining residual tumor is most important for the management of the parathyroid cancer.

연구배경 : 항결핵제에 의한 치료실패의 원인으로 약제내성균, 환자의 규칙적인 약제 복용, 감염 결핵균 종의 차이, 환자의 면역상태 등이 복합적으로 작용한다. 이에 저자들은 흉부 및 경부결핵환자들은 대상으로 항결핵제에 의한 다각적인 치료실패 원인을 분석하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 폐결핵환자 204명과 경부결핵환자 53명을 대상으로, 객담, 경부임파선 및 혈액을 채취하여 결핵균을 배양하고 변역상태를 측정하였다. 인형결핵균과 비인형결핵균의 감별, RFLP 양상 분석 및 항결핵제 감수성검사 등을 시행하였고, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-12, $IFN{\gamma}$ 및 $TNF{\alpha}$ 등의 혈중 농도를 측정하였다. 항결핵제 치료 후 18개월까지 정기적인 경과관찰을 시행하여 완치 유무를 결정하였다. 결 과 : 결핵균의 RFLP에 따른 결핵의 난치성 여부는 관찰할 수 없었다. 총 204례의 환자들 중 31.9%(65 례)가 난치성으로 판정되었으며 난치군은 평균연령이 비교적 높고, 남자 및 재발 예가 많았다. 65례의 난치원인을 모두 추정할 수 있었으며, 혈중 IL-12 농도저하(59.4%), 다제내성균 (54.7% ), 불규칙한 항결핵제복용(15.4%), 비인형 결핵균(6.2%) 및 중감염 (4.6%) 등의 원인을 관찰할 수 있었다. 완치군과 난치군의 혈중 IL-12의 평균 농도는 $227.6{\pm}78.2$ 및 $148.9{\pm}79.7\;pg/mL$로서 난치군이 유의(p<0.01)하게 낮았다. IL-12는 165.0 pg/mL에서 최대민감도 64.7% 및 최대특이도 75.4%를 나타내였다. 53명의 임파성 결핵환자들은 대부분 완치되어 난치원인을 분석할 수 없었다. 결 론 : 결핵의 난치원인 분석에서 혈중 IL-12 농도 저하 및 약제 내성균에 의한 감염이 가장 주요한 원인으로 간주되었고, 그 외 불규칙한 약복용, 비인형 결핵균에 의한 감염 및 중감염 등의 순으로 나타났다. 한편 국내에서는 균주군에 의한 감염이 빈번하였으나 균주군 및 비균주군에 의한 약제 내성율 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다.

Mechanical press joining has been used in sheet metal joining processes because of its simple process and possibility of joining dissimilar metals, such as steel and aluminum. The strength of mechanical press joining varies with joining conditions. The optimum joining conditions considering tensile-shear and peel-tension strength have to be established to assure the reliability in the joining strength. Therefore, optimization of joining conditions has been investigated for improving joining strength of sheet metal. It is possible to obtain optimum strength from improvement on the joining strength of peel-tension mechanical press joint under multiaxial stress states.

Background and Objectives The main objectives of this study were to determine the clinical usefulness of the program-assisted and real ear measurement (REM)-assisted fitting of hearing aids. Subjects and Method Fifteen participants with moderate to moderately severe hearing loss were enrolled in this study. Objective and subjective fitting results were assessed to compare the benefits between the program-assisted fitting (using a software fitting program) and the REM-assisted fitting. Real ear insertion gain (REIG), sound-field audiometry using warble tone, and Korean Hearing in Noise Test (K-HINT) were performed as objective tests. Sound quality rating was performed as a subjective test. Results In the program fitting, 48.89% of fitting points failed to come within ${\pm}10dB$ of the REIG target. In the REM fitting, however, the percentage of failure significantly decreased to 23.33% (p=0.013). In K-HINT test, the reception threshold for speech in quiet situation significantly decreased from 50.1 dB HL with the program fitting to 44.7 dB HL after the REM fitting (p<0.001). In front noise condition, signal-to-noise ratio improved from 4.53 dB to 3.50 dB with the REM fitting without statistical significance (p=0.099). In the sound quality rating, the REM fitting ($4.27{\pm}0.56$) showed a significantly better sound quality ratings than the program fitting ($3.69{\pm}0.74$) (p=0.017). Conclusion The REM fitting showed better results in both subjective and objective measurements than the program fitting.

Purpose: This study aims to compare patients in whom fixation failure occurred via cut-out (CO) or cut-through (CT) in order to determine patient factors and radiographic parameters that may be predictive of each mechanism. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 18 patients with intertrochanteric (IT) hip fractures (AO/OTA classification 31A1.3) who underwent treatment using a single lag screw design intramedullary nail in whom fixation failure occurred within one year. All patients were reviewed for demographics and radiographic parameters including tip-to-apex distance (TAD), posteromedial calcar continuity, neck-shaft angle, lateral wall thickness, and others. Patients were grouped into cohorts based on the mechanism of failure, either lag screw CO or CT, and a comparison was performed. Results: No differences in demographics, injury details, fracture classifications, or radiographic parameters were observed between CO/CT cohorts. Of note, a similar rate of post-reduction TAD>25 mm (P=0.936) was observed between groups. A higher rate of DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) confirmed osteoporosis (25.0% vs. 60.0%) was observed in the CT group, but without significance. Conclusion: The mechanism of CT failure during intramedullary nail fixation of an IT fracture did not show an association with clinical data including patient demographics, reduction accuracy, or radiographic parameters. As reported in previous biomechanical studies, the main predictive factor for patients in whom early failure might occur via the CT effect mechanism may be related to bone quality; however, conduct of larger studies will be required in order to determine whether there is a difference in bone quality.
