Debridement is a crucial component of wound management. Recent technologies such as hydrosurgery (Versajet), ultrasound therapy (the MIST therapy device), or plasma-mediated bipolar radio-frequency ablation therapy (Coblation) seem to represent interesting alternatives for wound debridement. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe, evaluate, and compare these three recently developed methods for the management of chronic wounds. In January 2016, an electronic database search was conducted of MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and Embase for articles concerning these three innovative methods for the management of chronic wounds. A total of 389 references were identified by our search strategy, and 15 articles were included. We extracted data regarding the number and age of patients, indications, operating time, number of procedures, costs, wound healing time, decrease in exudation, perioperative blood loss, bacterial load, and the occurrence of complications. The 15 articles included studies that involved 563 patients who underwent hydrosurgery (7 studies), ultrasound therapy (6 studies), or Coblation (2 studies). Six randomized controlled trials were included that compared the use of a scalpel or curette to hydrosurgery (2 studies) or ultrasound therapy (6 studies). Hydrosurgery, in addition to being a very precise and selective tool, allows significantly faster debridement. Ultrasound therapy provides a significant reduction of exudation, and improves the wound healing time. No comparative study dedicated to Coblation was identified. Despite the obvious clinical interest of the topic, our review of the current literature revealed a lack of prospective randomized studies comparing these devices with each other or with standard techniques, particularly for Coblation and hydrosurgery.

목 적 : 정위적체부방사선치료(Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, SBRT)를 시행하는 폐암환자의 호흡 변화에 따른 종양 움직임의 재현성을 비교 분석하고, 치료 중 환자 호흡의 안정도를 확인하여 호흡 신호 확인 과정의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 호흡연동방사선치료(Respiratory Gated Radiation Therapy, RGRT)를 실시한 30명과 RGRT를 시행하지 않는 30명을 그룹1, 2로 정하고, 4-Dimensional Computed Tomography (4-DCT), Cone-Beam CT (CBCT), 투시 영상에서 측정한 종양의 움직임 차이를 비교하였다. 그룹2를 대상으로 치료 중 호흡의 안정도를 확인하기 위해서 Real-time Position Management (RPM) System (version 1.7.5, Varian, USA)을 이용하여 호흡 신호의 기준 구간을 설정하고 치료 중 환자의 호흡이 정해진 구간에서 벗어난 횟수를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 4DCT에서 측정한 평균 움직임과 CBCT에서 평균 움직임의 차이가 그룹1은 전 후 방향, 축 방향, 측 방향 각각 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.9 mm, 그룹2는 0.3 mm, 0.9 mm, 0.4 mm로 확인되었다. 4DCT와 투시 영상의 축 방향에 대한 평균 움직임 차이는 그룹1에서 0.6 mm, 그룹2에서는 2.3 mm였고, CBCT와 투시 영상의 축 방향에 대한 차이는 그룹1에서 1.7 mm, 그룹2에서 1.4 mm의 차이를 보였다. 그룹2에서 1회 치료(15Gy)를 시행하는 동안 호흡 기준을 벗어나지 않고 치료가 시행된 경우는 대상 환자 30명의 총 120회 중 32회였고, 가장 많이 벗어난 환자는 1회 치료 시 최대 108번 설정 기준을 벗어난 것으로 확인되었다. 결 론 : 전체 대상 환자의 종양 움직임은 각각의 영상에서 평균적으로 5 mm 미만의 차이를 보였지만 특정 환자의 경우 13 mm이상의 차이가 있었고, RGRT를 적용하지 않은 환자들의 치료 중 호흡이 불안정한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 고 선량이 전달되는 폐암 환자의 SBRT 시 RGRT를 적용하지 않는 환자에 대해서도 종양 움직임을 확인하고 RPM system 을 이용한 치료 중 호흡 관찰을 실시한다면, 치료 중 계획된 선량 전달의 정확성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

MOS (Metal-Oxide Semconductor) devices among the most sensistive of all semiconductors to radiation, in particular ionizing radiation, showing much change even after a relatively low dose. The necessity of a radiation dosimeter robust enough for the working environment has increased in the fields of aerospace, radio-therapy, atomic power plant facilities, and other places where radiation exists. The power MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) has been tested for use as a gamma radiation dosimeter by measuring the variation of threshold voltage based on the quantity of dose, and a maximum total dose of 30 krad exposed to a $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-radiation source, which is sensitive to environment parameters such as temperature. The gate oxide structures give the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics affected by irradiation. The variation of threshold voltage on the operating temperature has caused errors, and needs calibration. These effects can be overcome by adjusting gate oxide thickness and implanting impurity at the surface of well region in MOSFET.

Localized fat and cellulate have not only esthetic but health problem, they are treated by surgical or non-surgical method. There are elecro-acupuncture, ultrasound, radio frequency, endermologie, mesotherapy, and carbon dioxide therapy in prevalent non-surgical treatments. We reviewed the studies on them to analyze their seicntific evidence. The studies are not many. They reported good results of circumference loss or appearance improvement of histologic change but most of them have poor study design. Before marketing or using these modalities, it is ontcal to evaluate to their effectiveness through strict and scientific clinical trials.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration within the E2 gene has been proposed as a critical event in cervical carcinogenesis. This study concerned whether HPV16 status and E2 gene intactness are predictive of radiation response in patients with cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Biopsies of 44 patients with cervical cancer were collected before or after radiotherapy. The presence of HPV16 was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers for the L1 region. E2 disruption was detected by amplifying the entire E2 gene. Results: HPV16 DNA was found in 54.5% of the clinical samples. Overall, 62.5% of the HPV16 positive tumors had integrated viral genome and 37.5% had episomal genome. There was a tendency of increase of HPV16 E2 negative tumors compared with HPV16 L1 ones in advanced stages (75% versus 20% in stage III respectively). Detection of E2 gene appeared influenced by the radiotherapy treatment, as the percentage of samples containing an intact HPV16 E2 was more frequent in pretreated patients compared to radiotherapy treated patients (66.6% versus 20%). The radiation therapy caused an eight-fold [OR= 8; CI=1.22-52.25; p=0.03] increase in the risk of HPV16 genome disruption. The integration status is influenced by the irradiation modalities, interestingly E2 disruption being found widely after radiotherapy treatment (75%) with a total fractioned dose of 50Gy. Conclusions: This study reveals that the status of the viral DNA may be used as a marker to optimize the radiation treatment.

742 cases of thyroid diseases treated at Radio-isotope Clinic, Seoul National University Hospital since October 1965 through July 1968 were analyzed. The patients were classified according to eye findings, as to Infiltrative, Non-infiltrative and No ophthalmopathy. Correlations between ophthalmological findings and symptoms, BMR values and $^{131}I$ uptake rate as well as response to medical treatment were carefully reviewed. Results obtained were as follows: 1. Among goitrous patients 44.5% with infiltrative ophthalmopathy, 24.1% with non-infiltrative ophthalmopathy totaling 68.6% of patients with one or more eye findings were found. Exophthalmos (44%) and visual disturbances (44%) comprised the highest incidence among eye signs. Most frequent eye symptoms were lid swelling (17.1%). 2. Female patients were predominant(91%). 3. Of cases with hyperthyroidism, after treatment with antithyroid drugs and radio-iodine therapy, general symptoms were improved in over 74%, whereas ophthalmopathy was not changed and in some cases the eye signs were aggravated. This tendency was more apparent in infiltrative ophthalmopathy. 4. Significant correlations between exophthalmos, BMR values and $^{131}I$ uptake rate were found. Among the patients of same degree of exophthalmos, BMR values and $^{131}I$ uptake rate showed the highest in non-infiltrative ophthalmopathy, moderate in infiltrative ophthalmopathy and the lowest in no ophthalmopathy.

목적: 갑상선 암 환자에서 방사성옥소($^{131}I$) 치료 시 체질량지수와 초기 유효선량 값의 상관관계를 알아보고, 또한 갑상선치료 환자로부터 1 m 떨어진 옆 사람에게 전달되는 유효선량 값을 측정하여 환자의 격리가 언제까지 필요한지 알아보고자 한다. 재료 및 방법: 치료당일 오전에 금식을 하게 하여 입원실에서 신장과 체중을 측정하였다. 방사성옥소($^{131}I$) 150 mCi를 환자에게 투여하기 전에 핵의학과에서 병에 들어있는 I-131 capsule을 방사선량 측정기[ATOMLAB DOSE CALIBRATORS(Biodex Medical Systems)]로 측정하여 기록 하여둔다. 치료적 용량 150 mCi(${\pm}6\;mCi$)를 투여받은 환자는 격리된 입원실에서 투여 후 바로 1 m 거리에서 초기 유효선량을 G-M survey meter로 측정하고 다음날 아침에도 같은 방법으로 선량을 측정하여 법정인 허용선량이 되면 퇴원 처방을 내고 $4{\sim}5$시간 후에 퇴원을 한다. 자료 분석은 Med calc Version 9,2,1,0통계 프로그램 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 초기 유효선량 값과 체질량지수 상관관계를 분석한 결과 Correlation coefficient 값이 음의 값으로 체질량지수가 증가할수록 초기 유효선량 값은 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 P=0.0004로 유의한 결과임을 알 수 있었다. 체질량지수에 따른 group간의 비교를 하기위해 One-way ANOVA분석한 결과 체지방지수가 증가할수록 초기 유효선량 값이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 P=0.007로 유의한 결과임을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 체질량지수와 초기선량과의 관계는 밀접한 상관관계가 있었고, 53%의 환자가 NRC규정에서 권고하는 선량을 만족시켜 1박2일 동안 입원을 하였다. 따라서 체질량지수와 초기 유효선량과의 관계를 잘 이용하게 되면 병실 회전율에 도움이 되리라 사료된다.
