본 연구에서는 이관능성 에폭시(DGEBA)와 polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)를 블랜딩하여 열적 특성과 기계적 계면특성을 측정하였다. 열적 특성은 DSC, DMA, 그리고 TGA를 이용하였으며, 블랜드의 기계적 계면특성을 측정하기 위해 contact angle로 표면자유에너지를 조사하였고, 파괴인성은 $K_{IC}$로 측정하고 $K_{IC}$ 실험 후 파괴단면을 SEM을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 경화 온도와 유리전이 온도는 PMMA의 첨가에 의해 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 블랜드의 표면자유에너지는 PMMA의 저함량에서 높은 값을 나타내었고, 이는 비극성 요소의 증가와 극성 요소의 존재에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 블랜드의 파괴인성 측정 결과 5 phr에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 이는 DGEBA/PMMA 간의 상용성 또는 거대분자 사슬에서 물리적 결합의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

We report a case of pedicle screw loosening treated by modified transpedicular screw augmentation technique using polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA), which used the anchoring effect of hardened PMMA. A 56-year-old man who had an L3/4/5 fusion operation 3 years ago complained of continuous low back pain after this operation. The computerized tomography showed a radiolucent halo around the pedicle screw at L5. We augmented the L5 pedicle screw with modified pedicle screw augmentation technique using PMMA and performed an L3/4/5 pedicle screw fixation without hook or operation field extension. This modified technique is a kind of transpedicular stiffness augmentation using PMMA for the dead space around the loosed screw. After filling the dead space with 1-2 cc of PMMA, we inserted a small screw. Once the PMMA hardened, we removed the small screw and inserted a thicker screw along the existing screw threading to improve the pedicle screws' pullout strength. At 10 months' follow-up, x-ray showed strong fusion of L3/4/5. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of his back pain was improved from 9 to 5. This modified transpedicular screw augmentation with PMMA using anchoring effect is a Simple and effective surgical technique for pedicle screw loosening. However, clinical analyses of long-term follow-up and biomechanical studies are needed.

Objectives : The percutaneous vertebroplasty provides a good result in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. But, the epidural leakage of polymethylmetacrylate(PMMA) after vertebroplasty may decrease the therapeutic effects because of the compression of thecal sac and/or nerve roots. The authors carried out a prospective study to evaluate the causative factors of epidural leakage of PMMA and to assess the influence on the outcome. Methods : This study involved 347 vertebral levels of compression fractures in 159 patients. Among these, the epidural leakages were identified in 92 vertebral levels(26.5%) in 64 patients(40.3%) on post-operative CT scan. Results : The incidence of epidural leakage of PMMA was significantly higher in the level above T7(p=0.001). The large amount of the injected PMMA and the use of an injector also increased the incidence(p=0.03 and p=0.045, respectively). The position of the needle tip in the vertebral body and the pattern of venous drainage did not influence. The immediate post-operative visual analogue scale(VAS) scores and facial scales(FS) were higher in the patients with epidural leakage(p=0.009). But there were no significant differences between the two groups after three months of operation(p=0.541). Conclusions : The incidence of epidural leakage of PMMA after percutaneous vertebroplasty appears to have relationship with the amount of PMMA and the levels injected. The epidural leakage of PMMA reduced the immediate therapeutic effects of vertebroplasty, but did not influence the late outcome. However, the epidural leakage should be avoided because of its potential neurological complications.

완전히 불순물을 제거한 투명한 polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)의 prerod를 제조하여 연속 열연신하여 얻은 플라스틱 섬유의 연신온도($T_d$)에 따른 굴절율, 굴절율분포, 복굴절율 및 전송손실율을 측정하였다. $T_d$가 높을수록 다소 낮은 굴절율을 보였으나, 섬유의 중심에서 주변으로 감에 따른 굴절율분포는 오히려 낮은 $T_d$에서가 현저했고, 높은 $T_d$에서는 주변에서만 급격한 굴절율의 강하를 보였다. 또한 $T_d$가 220$^{\circ}C$ 미만에서는 복굴절을 ${\Delta}$n = $5{sim}6{\times}10^{-4}$을 보이고 그 보다 높은 온도의 $T_d$에서는 이러한 현상이 나타나지 않았다. Attenuation은 높은 $T_d$일수록 낮은 값을 보였다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy, radiological findings, clinical outcomes and complications in patients with lumbar stenosis and osteoporosis after the use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmentation of a cannulated pedicle screw. Methods : Thirty-seven patients with degenerative spinal stenosis and osteoporosis (T-score < -2.5) underwent lumbar fusion using the Dream Technology Pedicle Screw ($DTPS^{TM}$, Dream Spine Total Solutions, Dream STS, Seoul. Korea) between 2005 and 2007. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Prolo scale. Radiologic findings were documented through computed tomography (CT) and plain films. Results : Thirty-seven patients were evaluated and included, 2 males and 35 females with an average bone mineral density (BMD) of $0.47g/cm^2$. The average age of the patients was 68.7 (range, 57-88). The preoperative VAS for low back and leg pain ($7.87{\pm}0.95$ and $8.82{\pm}0.83$) were higher as compared with postoperative VAS ($2.30{\pm}1.61$ and $1.42{\pm}0.73$) with statistical significance (p = 0.006, p = 0.003). According to the Prolo scale, 11, 22, one and three patients were in excellent, good, fair and poor conditions, respectively. The average amount of the injected cement per one cannulated screw was $1.83{\pm}0.11\;mL$. Conclusion : The results show favorable outcome both clinically and radiographically for 37 patients who underwent lumbar fusion using $DTPS^{TM}$ and PMMA. Based on the results, the use of this surgical method can be a safe and effective option for the operation on the osteoporotic spine.

This paper reports an improved bonding method using the IPA (isopropyl alcohol) assisted low-temperature bonding process for the PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) micro CE (capillary electrophoresis) chip. There is a problem about channel deformations during the conventional processes such as thermal bonding and solvent bonding methods. The bonding test using an IPA showed good results without channel deformations over 4 inch PMMA wafer at $60^{\circ}C$ and 1.3 bar for 10 minutes. The mechanism of IPA bonding was attributed to the formation of a small amount of vaporized acetone made from the oxidized IPA which allows to solvent bonding. To verify the usefulness of the IPA assisted low-temperature bonding process, the PMMA micro CE chip which had a $45{\mu}m$ channel height was fabricated by hot embossing process. A functional test of the fabricated CE chip was demonstrated by the separation of fluorescein and dichlorofluorescein. Any leakage of liquids was not observed during the test and the electropherogram result was successfully achieved. An IPA assisted low-temperature bonding process could be an easy and effective way to fabricate the PMMA micro CE chip and would help to increase the yield.

Background and Objectives : Artecoll(R) is an injectable soft tissue filler, which is a suspension of polymethylmethacrylate microspheres in $3.5\%$ bovine collagen solution. The authors aimed to determine the clinical of Artecoll of Artecoll(R) as an injection material into the vocal fold to correct the glottal insufficiency caused by unilateral vocal cord paralysis. Materials and Methods : Forty-one consecutive patients with unilateral vocal cord paralysis received percutaneous Artecoll injections under local anesthesia. Acoustic, aerodynamic and stroboscopic analyses were prospectively provided before, 1 week and 3 months after injection. Perceptual GRBAS grading by speech language pathologists and subjective ratings of the hoarseness and aspiration by the patients were also obtained. Results : Aerodynamic parameter(maximal phonation time) were significantly improved after the injection (p<0.05). Acoustic parameters (jitter and shimmer) were improved at the 3rd month follow-up. GRBAS uading and patients own subjective scaling of hoarseness and aspiration also showed significant improvement (p<0.05). Early or delayed significant side effects were not observed. Conclusion : Vocal fold injection with Artecoll is a convenient, safe and useful method of temporarily correcting the glottal insufficiency. Further long-term follow-up studies will answer the usefulness and safety of the Artecoll injection laryngoplasty.
