Background : For example, aerodynamic study, vibratory study, acoustic study, neuro-muscular test and psychoacoustic evaluation, a number of objective methods are now available for assessing pathologic voice change. They help to differentiate pathologic condition from normal condition and to monitor pathologic and aging change. These laboratory analyses are used commonly to monitor speech therapy and to follow a patient's recovery after surgery. Objectives : We investigated the values of jitter, shimmer and NNE of normal person and hoarseness patients in Korea. The values of Jitter and shimmer might be meaningful parameters distinguishing pathologic vibration from normal and recovery after surgery. Materials and Methods : Statistical significance between normal control and 48 subjects taken microlaryngeal surgery were compared with Dr. speech science program that is computerized system for acoustic analysis of voice production employed to determine vocal characteristics of pitch perturbation(jitter) and amplitude perturbation(shimmer). Results : The mean normal values of jitter and shimmer were 0.226${\pm}$0.110(%), 2.200${\pm}$0.421(%) in male and 0.164${\pm}$0.060(%), 2.063 ${\pm}$0.575(%) in female. In patients with vocal nodule, the preoperative and postoperative values of jitter and shimmer were valueless. In patients with vocal polyps, the preoperative and postoperative values of jitter and shimmer were valuable. Conclusion : Dr. speech science program was effective to monitor laryngeal disease and aging changes.

Objective : Percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP) can provide immediate stabilization in pathologic fractures of spinal tumors. However, long term follow-up data in cases of pathologic fractures are lacking. The authors report follow-up results of VP in 185 pathologic fractures of 102 spinal tumor patients. Methods : Percutaneous VP was performed at 185 vertebral bodies of 102 patients from 2001 to 2007. Retrospective analysis was done with medical records and radiological data. The change of visual analogue score (VAS), vertebral body (VB) height and kyphotic angle were measured preoperatively and on postoperative one day and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Results : The patients were composed of metastatic spine tumors (81%) and multiple myeloma (19%). Involved spinal segments were between T6 and L5. Mean follow-up period was 12.2 months. VAS for back pain was 8.24 preoperatively, 3.59 (postoperative one day), 4.08 (three months) and 5.22 (one year). VB compression ratio changed from 21.33% preoperatively to 13.82% (postoperative one day), 14.36% (three month), and 16.04% (one year). Kyphotic angle changed from $15.35^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $12.03^{\circ}$ (postoperative one day), $13.64^{\circ}$ (three month), and $15.61^{\circ}$ (one year). Conclusion : Immediate pain relief was definite after VP in pathologic compression fracture of osteolytic spinal disease. Although VAS was slightly increased on one year follow-up, VP effect was maintained without significant change. These results indicate that VP could be a safe and effective procedure as a palliative treatment of the spinal tumor patients.

The authors evaluated the distribution of the antral pathologic conditions and their radiographic features on the Waters' radiolgraphs of 151 children patients who had been radiographed at the department of Oral Radiology, Seoul National University Hospitals. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The most common pathologic condition was inflammatory change(58%). Percentage of cases showing cystic lesion and fibro-osseous lesion were 25% and 11% respectively. 2. In cases of inflammatory change, odontogenic origins were 12 cases(13%) and bilateral occurrences were 37 cases(39%). 3. The most common radiographic feature of the inflammatory conditions was various types of mucosal thickenkng(78%).Percentage of cases showing totally increased radiopacity was 18%. 4. Intrinsic cystic lesions were 26 cases(65%) and dentigerous cyst was the most common extrinsic cyst. 5. Most of the fibro-osseous lesions(15 from 17 cases) were fibrous dysplasia. 6. Maxillary sinus hypoplasia(5 cases) and Burkitt's lyphoma(4 cases) were also observed.

The pathologic hallmark of new bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is an arrest in alveolarization and vascular development. Alveoli are the fully mature gas-exchange units and alveolarization denotes the process through which the developing lung attains its fully mature structure. In human, alveolarization is mainly a postnatal event and begins in utero around 35 postmenstrual weeks and continues to 2 postnatal years. Beginning of respiration with very immature lungs as a result of preterm delivery renders the immature lung to be exposed to various injuries such as mechanical stretch, hyperoxia, infection/inflammation and leads to a disruption of normal alveolarization process, which is a main pathologic finding of BPD. Better understanding of the control mechanisms of normal alveolarization process should help us to figure out the pathophysiology of BPD and discover effective preventive or therapeutic measures for BPD. In this review, the pathologic evolution of BPD from 'old' to 'new' BPD, the detailed mechanisms of normal alveolarization, and the factors that disrupt normal alveolarization will be discussed.

Though normal vocal cords show regular vibration, pathologic vocal cords show irregularity between peaks. Jitter means fluctuation in the time interval between peaks, and Shimmer means cycle to cycle variation in the amplitude of the peaks. We investigated the vocal vibration of Korean normal persons objectively. The fundamental frequency, Jitter, Shimmer and SNR(signal to noise ratio) of normal persons were compared with that of vocal Polyp Patients with CSpeech Program for the possibility of distinguishing the pathologic vocal vibration from normal. The results were as follows ; Comparing the fundamental frequency of vocal Polyp Patients with normal persons, great change was noted only in female cases. But the Jitter and Shimmer of vocal polyp patients were greater than normal significantly in both male and female cases. SNR was lower than normal in vocal polyp patients. In the conclusion, fundamental frequency, Jitter, Shimmer and SNR might be meaningful parameters distinguisuing pathologic vibration from normal.

It was said that the epigastric region was the outbreak region of chest bind on Shanghanlon. But successive medical men annotated the epigastric region as the chest, which caused the misunderstanding that chest bind was a chest trouble. However Youzaijing, a medical man in Qing dynasty, presented that the epigastric region meant stomach and the middle of stomach did intestines, comparing Dachengqi-tang with Daxianxiong-tang. This view agreed with Huatuo's six-region-transmutation theory. Taojiean and Zhangjingyue also criticized on the six-meridian-transmutation theory, proposing that the change of cold damage didn't go by the fixed rules. This reflected the oriental medical pathologic view that pathogen invaded and advanced to the weak region by the relations between healthy qi and pathogen, and it criticized on the doctrinarian interpretation of Shanghanlon as Neijing. Huatuo insisted that stomach was the final stage of cold damage by presenting that theory. And this theory became a philological basis on Youzaijing's pathologic view.

Among medical claims review, decision of malignancy is very important. According to the pathologic report may be ordinary pathway. Some tumors are not completely studied especially malignancy. Wheather malignancy or benign is the important thing in medical claims review. We here disscuss on the debatable tumors such as carcinoid tumor, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), desmoid tumor, MALToma, and pseudomyxoma peritonei. Another controversial subject in the medical claims review is selection of pathologic report. If the result of the pathologic report is not same in one patient, We prefer the selsection of the report from more professional hospital. We have called this professional hospital l as "third hospital" or 'refferal hospital".

Osteopetrosis is a rare skeletal disease of unknown etiology. Osteomyelitic changes in the jaw bones are frequently seen in this disease, especially in the mandible and may follow upon tooth extraction. A case is reported of a 31-year-old male who was seen because of intraorally exposed bony spicule and chronic dull pain. Radiographic and haematological investigations led to the diagnosis of osteopeirosis with osteomyelitis. The striking radiologic findings were pathologic mandibular fracture and generalized skeletal thickening. The present case could be grouped under the benign form, type II osteopetrosis. With the conservative and minimally invasive modes of treatment including administration of penicillin G sodium, curettage and closed reduction, we could successfully manage the osteomyelitis and pathologic fracture associated osteopetrosis.

The pathologic studies on the cottonseed meal poisoning in chicken were performed by feeding a diet containing 50 per cent cottonseed meal. The results obtained are summarized as follows: The specific effect of cottonseed meal on chicken was apparently limited to the parenchymatous tissue and blood vessels, where its major pathologic manifestations were degenerative changes in acute cases fed for a period of 7 days, while necrosis of portal and central veins of liver and consequent perivascular hemorrhage and coagulative necrosis of liver and intra-glomerular hemorrhage were characteristic lesions in chronic cases fed for a period 20, 40 and 60 days. In addition, specific cottonseed pigment cells were observed in small number in villus of small intestine in acute cases and in large number in villus, liver and spleen in chronic cases.
