Purpose: In hand injury, pedicle is usually damaged by avulsion injury or crushing injury. Because of postoperative pedicle obliteration, it is often hard to save the injured hand and fingers, even after successful replantation. The author introduces three cases of extensive hand injury, and successful results after applicatoin of multiple venous grafts to these patients. Methods: In all cases there was no circulation in any finger. In the first case, some vessels were extracted, so venous graft was applied to two sites of severely damaged venous sites. In the second case, venous grafts were applied to all four digital arteries of all fingers except thumb which got severely crushed, and two sites of dorsal veins. In the third case, venous graft was applied to all four digital arteries of all five fingers, and two sites of dorsal veins and palmar veins each. Results: In all cases, survival of hands and fingers was successful. In the second case, however, amputation in thumb and little finger at DIP joint level was inevitable, because of its severe damage, and the large dorsal defect on index finger was filled with DIEP free flap. Thumb was reconstructed with toe-to-thumb free flap, and additional debulking procedures and contracture release is furtherly needed. In the first case, additional surgery was done, as FDP tendon got re-ruptured, but in long term follow-up, satisfactory range of motion was attained. In the third case, FTSG on dorsal skin region was planned. as flap on dorsal area got partial necrosis. Conclusion: In hand injury, there are many structures to be repaired, but sometimes venous graft is avoided for its long operating time. Even though the length of damaged vessel is enough for anastomosis, the endothelium is often damaged (zone of injury). In extensive hand injury, successful reconstruction would be possible with active venous graft to all vessels suspicious for damage.

치아탈구 발생시 사고 현장에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 저장용액을 이용하여 치주인대세포의 생존율을 비교해보고자 치주인대세포를 10% FBS함유 ${\alpha}-MEM$에서 배양한 후 ${\alpha}-MEM$에서 저장한 군을 대조군으로 하고 동일한 조건하에서 저온살균된 우유군, 멸균된 생리적 식염수군, 비자극성 타액군, 건조된 상태로 방치한 군을 실험군으로 하여 $25^{\circ}C$ 실온에서 세포 배양 30, 60, 90, 120, 180분 후에 각 군에 대해 MTT assay를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 각 조사시점에서 실험군간의 비교에서는 모두 유의성있는 차이를 보였으며 저온살균된 우유군에서 치주인대세포의 생존율이 가장 높았고, 멸균된 생리적 식염수군, 비자극성 타액군, 건조된 상태로 방치한 군 순으로 점차 감소하였다(P<0.05). 2. 각 실험군내에서 조사시점간의 비교에서는 치주인대세포의 생존율이 시간이 경과함에 따라 유의성있게 감소하였으나(p<0.05), 저온살균된 우유군에서 90-120분 경과 사이, 멸균된 생리적 식염수군에서 60-90분과 120-180분 경과 사이에서는 유의성있는 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 이상의 결론을 종합해볼 때 외상으로 인한 치아탈구 발생시 저장용액으로 HBSS가 추천되고 있으나 사고 현장에서 쉽게 구할 수 있고 치주인대세포의 생활력 보존에도 유리한 저온살균된 우유에 탈구된 치아를 담가오도록 추천할 수 있겠다.
