To clarify the clinical utility of the calvarial bone graft in the maxillofacial reconstruction, we performed on anatomical study by measuring the regional thickness of the parietal bone on 17 Korean adult dry skulls. Before the sectioning the calvarium, the anatomical landmarks were marked on each specimens. And then we measured the total thickness of the parietal bone, the thickness of the outer and inner cortical plates on various points in each sections of parietal bones using a digital caliper under the stereomicroscope. The total thickness of the parietal bone was ranged from 5.17mm to 7.50mm, and there were no statistical difference in the total thickness of the parietal bone on the same points bilaterally. But there was a tendency that the thickness of the parietal bone was thicker toward to the lambda point than the coronal suture area. At the other hand, the thickness of the outer and inner plate of the parietal bone was the thickest at the first point of the right aspect on the line 1, the first point of the left aspect on the line 5, respectively. In conclusion, this study showed that the donor site of the parietal bone for the maxillofacial reconstruction should be located at more posterior and medial area of the parietal bone than the prevalent known donor site.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone regeneration ability of 1% tetracycline (TC)-loaded silk fibroin membrane (SFM), in a rabbit calvarial defect model. Methods: Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study. Bilateral round defects were made on the rabbit parietal bone, using trephine bur with an 8 mm diameter. TC-loaded SFM or SFM was covered on the right parietal bone defect, and the left parietal bone defects were uncovered for the control. The animals were humanely sacrificed at 4 or 8 weeks postoperatively. A micro-computerized tomography (${\mu}$-CT) of each specimen was taken for analysis of bone regeneration. Hematoxylin and Eosin stain were done to observe histological findings. Results: From the ${\mu}$-CT results, regenerated bone volume ($mm^3$) of 1% TC-loaded SFM, SFM, and control were $7.80{\pm}5.87$, $8.79{\pm}3.44$, and $10.61{\pm}5.3$ at 4 weeks postoperatively, respectively (P>0.05). Regenerated bone volume ($mm^3$) of 1% TC-loaded SFM, SFM, and control were $36.56{\pm}8.50$, $25.86{\pm}8.17$, and $19.09{\pm}5.07$ at 8 weeks postoperatively, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: The 1% TC-loaded SFM showed more bone regeneration than the SFM and the uncovered control, in guided bone regeneration.

Objective : To determine the advantages of parietal approach compared to Kocher's point approach for spontaneous, oval-shaped intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with expansion to the parietal region. Methods : We divided patients into two groups : group A had burr holes in the parietal bone and group B had burr holes at Kocher's point. The hematoma volume, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, and modified Barthel Index (mBI) score were calculated. At discharge, we evaluated the patients' Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, motor grade, and hospitalization duration. We evaluated the patients' mBI scores and motor grades at 6 months after surgery. Results : The hematoma volume in group A was significantly less than that in group B on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21. Group A had significantly higher GCS scores than did group B on postoperative days 1 and 3. Group A had higher mBI scores postoperatively than did group B, but the scores were not significantly different. No differences were observed for the GOS score, mRS score, motor grade at discharge, or duration of hospitalization. The mBI score of group A at 6 months after surgery was significantly higher, and more patients in group A showed muscle strength improvement. Conclusion : In oval-shaped ICH with expansion to the parietal region, the parietal approach is considered to improve the clinical symptoms at the acute phase by removing the hematoma more effectively in the early stages. The parietal approach might help promote the long-term recovery of motor power.

Thinning of parietal bone bilaterally is extremely rare but well known phenomenon. Approximate prevalence is 0.4-0.5% according to radiological scans, case reports and anthropologic researches. Even though biparietal osteodystrophy occurs mostly in over 60-year-old women, it shows no special association with race or geographical area tendency. Current definition was changed by understanding that is a pathological situation, not an anatomical variety or result of growing old in time. Biparietal osteodystrophy may have an unusual presentation and treatment still remains unclear. We aim to present a patient with biparietal osteodystrophy associated with minor head trauma that caused parietal fracture and epidural hematoma underneath.

A 10-year-old spayed female Maltese dog weighting 3.4 kg was referred with growing firm mass at the parietal bone region from 2 weeks ago. A firm, partially calcified mass ($1.9cm{\times}4.4cm$) was palpated in the region of the frontal and parietal skulls but had no neurologic signs. Computed tomography (CT) characteristics of mass were round to oval shape, fine granular appearance, and well defined margins. Mass involving the calvarial bones had invasion into the cranial vault with a significant intracranial portion. Histologically, the tumor was characterized by the presence of multiple lobules containing osteoid or cartilage in the center that were separated by anastomosing fibrous septae. This is case report described the clinical and histopathological features of multilobular tumor of skull in a Maltese dog.

Background: The aims of present study were (1) to evaluate new bone formation among the 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR)-incorporated silk fabric membrane (SFM), conventional SFM, and uncovered control groups and (2) to compare the amount of residual membrane between the 4HR-incorporated SFM and conventional SFM in a rabbit parietal defect model. Methods: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were used for this animal study. After the formation of a bilateral parietal bone defect (diameter 8.0 mm), either 4HR-incorporated SFM or conventional SFM was grafted into the defect. The defect in the control was left uncovered. New bone formation and the amount of residual membrane were evaluated by histomorphometry at 8 weeks after the operation. Results: The total amount of new bone was $37.84{\pm}8.30%$ in the control, $56.64{\pm}15.74%$ in the 4HR-incorporated SFM group, and $53.35{\pm}10.52%$ in the conventional SFM group 8 weeks after the operation. The differences were significant between the control and 4HR-incorporated SFM group (P = 0.016) and between the control and conventional SFM group (P = 0.040). The residual membrane was $75.08{\pm}10.52%$ in the 4HR-incorporated SFM group and $92.23{\pm}5.46%$ in the conventional SFM group 8 weeks after the operation. The difference was significant (P = 0.039). Conclusions: The 4HR-incorporated SFM and conventional SFM groups showed more bone regeneration than the control group. The incorporated 4HR accelerated the partial degradation of the silk fabric membrane in a rabbit parietal defect model 8 weeks after the operation.

뼈 조직을 포함한 인체조직의 방사선 치료는 정상적인 조직 재생에 부작용을 수반한다. 왜냐하면, 방사선 조사는 조직을 구성하는 기저세포를 포함한 재생에 필수역할을 하는 줄기세포에 치명적인 파괴 작용을 수반하기 때문이다. 이번 연구는 마우스의 두정부상에 인위적인 방사성뼈괴사 모델을 구현한 후 뼈 재생에 관하여 실험하였다. 뼈 재생 실험 재료는 마우스 두정부위 방사선 뼈 괴사를 극복하기 위해 생체재료로 널리 사용 중인 피브린 지지체 그리고 손상된 장기치료제로 사용 중인 SDF-1(Stromal cell-Derived Factor-1)을 혼합하여 마우스 두정 부위의 방사선 뼈 괴사 부위의 뼈 재생 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 피브린 지지체를 SDF-1(1 ㎍/ml)의 농도는 뼈 조직의 상승효과를 기대하기 위해 제작하였다. 실험은 마우스 두정 부위에 방사선 뼈 괴사 모델을 만든 후 피브린지지체와 혼합된 SDF-1을 편입하여 뼈 재생 초기 단계인 4주내의 재생효과를 분석하였다. 결론적으로 피브린지지체와 SDF-1의 혼합사용은 방사성 뼈 괴사한 부위의 뼈 재생 효과 가능성이 있는 후보물질이라 사료된다.

A 60 years old female patient presented with $8{\times}6\;cm$ sized painless oval mass in the left parietal region. She had left lobectomy of thyroid gland 10 years ago. Cranial CT, MRI, FGD PET-CT showed a solid mass which invaded left parietal bone. After embolization, craniectomy with tumor excision was performed. Histological examination revealed metastatic follicular cancer originated thyroid gland, with vascular and dura invasion. Postoperatively, neck CT showed right thyroid multiple nodules and right level III multiple lymph node enlargement. Thyroid function test was normal, but level of thyroglobulin was high (72ng/ml). So she had right lobectomy of thyroid gland with lymph node dissection under a diagnosis of follicular carcinoma. But histological examination revealed adenomatous hyperplasia and not lymph node metastasis. After operation, she received radioiodine therapy of 150mCi and then the level of thyroglobulin normalized (8.4ng/ml). The patient is under follow-up since she had operation 4 months ago.
