배경: 수술 후 흉골 합병증을 유발하는 원인 인자들 중 흉골 봉합선의 견고성이 차지하는 비중은 매우 크다. 본 저자들은 흉골 봉합 방법에 따른 흉골 열개 및 감염의 발생빈도를 조사하여 합병증이 적은 가장 효과적인 흉골 봉합 방법을 찾고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 1999년 7월까지 개심술을 받았던 환자들중 45세 이상의 환자 489예를 대상으로 하였다. 봉합 철사 6개로 단순 봉합을 한 159예, 흉골병에 2개의 단순 봉합 후 3개의 8자형 봉합을 한 119예, 각 늑간에 2개씩 10개의 단순 봉합한 150예, 단순 봉합과 8자형 봉합을 혼합하여 사용한 61예를 대상으로 하였다. 234예에서 판막수술을, 213예에서 관상동맥 우회술을 시행하였으며, 42예에서 그 외의 수술을 하였다. 결과: 총 12예(2.5%)에서 흉골 열개 및 감염의 합병증이 발생하였다. 수술 후 흉골 절개부의 합병증은 철사 6개를 이용한 단순 봉합 환자군의 3.1%(5/159)에서, 8자형 봉합 환자군의 3.4%(4/119)에서, 철사 10개를 이용한 겹치기 단순 봉합 환자군의 2.0%(3/150)에서 발생하였으며, 단순 봉합과 8자형 봉합을 혼합하여 사용한 환자 군에서는 합병증이 없었다(교차비에서 유의성은 없으나 다른 세 봉합방법에 대한 상대위험도에서는 유의성을 보임). 판막수술을 받은 환자군의 7예(3.0%), 관상동맥 우회술을 받은 환자군의 5예(2.3%)에서 흉골 합병증이 발생하여 수술 종류에 따른 흉골 감염의 차이는 없었으며, 당뇨병은 흉골 합병증의 독립적인 위험인자가 될 수 있었다(교차비 및 다량분석에서 p = 0.00). 결론: 흉골 봉합 때 단순 봉합과 8자 봉합의 혼합방법을 사용함으로써 흉골봉합이 용이하고 수술 후 흉골의 열개나 감염의 합병증을 줄일 수 있다고 생각된다. 비해 64.5 $\pm$ 4.6%, 63.8 : 4.4%로 유의하게 개선된 소견을 보였으나(P<0.05), ll, III군에서 reserpine 및 prazosin으로 전처치 조건을 차단한 V, Vl군은 동일한 재관류 시간이 경과한 후 developed pressure는 52.2 $\pm$ 5.2%, 49.8 $\pm$ 5.7%로 단위시간당 수축기 좌심실압의 회복율은 54.8 $\pm$ 5.1%, 53.3 $\pm$ 3.6%로 II, III군에 비해 유의한 회복율의 감소를 보였고 이러한 회복율은 I군에 비해 유의한 차가 없었다. 결론: 교감신경 $\alpha$-수용체 작용약물에 의한 약물학적 전처치는 재관류 후 심근기능 회복에 유익한 효과를 나타냈으며, 이러한 전처치 효과는 교감신경계 신경전달물질의 고갈이나 $\alpha$1-수용체 차단제에 의해 소멸되는 것으로 보아 전처치에 의한 심근보호효과는 교감신경계 전달물질 및 $\alpha$1-수용체를 통해 유도됨을 알 수 있다.380$\pm$71 mL, p=0.05).방 및 치료에 도움이 될 수 있는 물질을 개발할 가치가 있다고 사료된다을 공급한 대조구에 비해 높았다. 어미의 성 성숙 및 산란은 두 번의 실험에서 대조구보다 저염분구에서 원만히 이루어졌다. 암컷 성숙 개체의 경우 1차 실험은 대조구 6마리, 저염분구 12마리였으며, 2차 실험은 대조구 5마리, 저염분구 12마리였으며, 2차 실험은 대조구 5마리, 저염분구 14마리로서 성숙유도에 있어 염분의 조절에 의한 성숙이 이루어진 것을 알 수 있다. 산란 시기는 1차 실험에서 대조구나 저염분구의 산란 개시 시점이 거의

Purpose: There is no consensus regarding the relationship between the width of keratinized mucosa and the health of periimplant tissues, but clinicians prefer to provide enough keratinized mucosa around dental implants for long-term implant maintenance. An apically positioned flap during second stage implant surgery is the chosen method of widening the keratinized zone in simple procedures. However, the routine suture techniques used with this method tend to apply tension over the provisional abutments and decrease pre-existing keratinized mucosa. To overcome this shortcoming, a pre-fabricated implant-retained stent was designed to apply vertical pressure on the labial flap and stabilize it in a bucco-apical direction to create a wide keratinized mucous zone. Methods: During second stage implant surgery, an apically displaced, partial thickness flap with a lingualized incision was retracted. A pre-fabricated stent was clipped over the abutments after connecting to the provisional abutment. Vertical pressure was applied to displace the labial flap. No suture was required and the stent was removed after 10 days. Results: A clinically relevant amount of keratinized mucosa was achieved around the dental implants. Buccally displaced keratinized mucosa was firmly attached to the underlying periosteum. A slight shrinkage of the keratinized zone was noted after the healing period in one patient, but no discomfort during oral hygiene was reported. Clinically healthy gingiva with enough keratinized mucosa was achieved in both patients. Conclusions: The proposed technique is a simple and time-effective technique for preserving and providing keratinized tissue around dental implants.

Purpose: The zygomatic arch is a key element which composes the facial contour. In many cases of zygomatic arch fracture, it is difficult to fix rigidly the fractured segments. If reduced bone segments were not fixed rigidly, they are proven to be displaced by mastication or unintentional external forces. So, unfixed zygomatic arch fracture after reduction may require a external device of prevention of collapse. We introduce a new protector which stabilizing the fractured segments to prevent for collapse of the reduced zygomatic arch fracture. Methods: After reduction of zygomatic arch with blind approach(Gillies', Dingman or Keen's approach), bone segments was pulled with percutaneous traction suture in medial aspect of zygomatic arch. Then, the suture was fixed with Aqua $splint^{(R)}$, externally. And intraoperative and postoperative X-ray was done. The splint was removed on 14 days after the operation. Results: 5 patients were treated with this method. 4 patients of total patients had no collapse in zygomatic arch. There was minimal collapse in one patient. Postoperative complications such as facial nerve injury, mouth opening difficulty, contour deformity, infection, scar were not observed. Conclusion: In comparison with other techniques, this technique has several advantages which are simple and easy method, short operation time, no scar, less soft tissue injury, and facilitated removal of splint. Therefore, Aqua $splint^{(R)}$ would be a good alternative to prevent for collapse in unstable zygomatic arch fractures

Twenty one cows in Goyang and Paju cities were referred due to displacement of the abomasum and foreign body in the rumen. Omentopexy and rumenotomy through a right flank celiotomy were performed for treatment of abomasal displacement and the foreign body removal in the rumen. The right paralumbar fossa is clipped and prepared surgically. Local anesthesia is instituted by performing inverted L block. The abdomen was entered through 25 to 30 cm vertical incision in the right paralumbar fossa starting 4 to 5 cm ventral to the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae. A 14-gauge needle with rubber tubing attached is inserted to relieve the gaseous pressure and to facilitate further exploration and manipulation. The rumen was gently pulled out of the abdominal cavity and incision was made at the omentum. Rumenotomy was done and retrieved the foreign body. After the rumen was rinsed with sterile saline, the rumen wall was closed by a Lembert suture technique. The omentum was closed by a simple continuous suture. Right flank omentopexy was performed for the surgical correction of abomasal displacement. Recovery results among 21 cows included 9 excellent, 5 good, 2 fair and 5 bad. It was considered that operation of abomasal displacement and foreign body removal in the rumen through right flank celiotomy was a good surgical technique to reduce expenses, surgical pain, and surgery time.

Purpose: Male nipple hypertrophy is a rare condition but is a social embarrassment for individual. The currently available techniques of nipple reduction already described in the literature for female patients are discussed, but the goal of treatment is different in male patients. In male patient, the diameter as well as vertical height should be reduced simultaneously to achieve better aesthetic results. Our new technique can reduce the diameter of the hypertrophic nipple as well as the vertical height efficiently and simply. Methods: A 19-years-old man with nipple hypertrophy on the right chest presented. The flap is designed based on the site of left nipple, symmetry, the diameter, and the projection desired. The widths of the V flaps determine projection, whereas the diameter of the C flap determines the diameter of the nipple and top of the new nipple. Unnecessary hypertrophic tissues are extirpated and the V flaps are elevated. The nipple base is reduced by purse-string suture technique. The V flaps are wrapped around, and C flap is used as a cap. Results: No complication including nipple necrosis or sensory loss were found during follow-up period. The normal symmetry of the nipple contour was restored. Conclusion: We describe a simple technique for male nipple reduction using a C-V flap with purse-string suture. In our experience, this technique has provided good aesthetic result and patient satisfaction.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to clinically assess the impact of a prefabricated implant-retained stent clipped over healing abutments on the preservation of keratinized mucosa around implants after implant surgery, and to compare it with horizontal external mattress sutures. Methods: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study. In the test group, a prefabricated implant-retained stent was clipped on the healing abutment after implant surgery to replace the keratinized tissue bucco-apically. In the control group, horizontal external mattress sutures were applied instead of using a stent. After the surgical procedure, the width of the buccal keratinized mucosa was measured at the mesial, middle, and distal aspects of the healing abutment. The change in the width of the buccal keratinized mucosa was assessed at 1 and 3 months. Results: Healing was uneventful in both groups. The difference of width between baseline and 1 month was $-0.26{\pm}0.85mm$ in the test group, without any statistical significance (P=0.137). Meanwhile, the corresponding difference in the control group was $-0.74{\pm}0.73mm$ and it showed statistical significance (P<0.001). The difference of width between baseline and 3 months was $-0.57{\pm}0.97mm$ in the test group and $-0.86{\pm}0.71mm$ in the control group. These reductions were statistically significant (P<0.05); however, there was no difference between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Using a prefabricated implant-retained stent was shown to be effective in the preservation of the keratinized mucosa around implants and it was simple and straightforward in comparison to the horizontal external mattress suture technique.

Background Buried non-incisional double-eyelid blepharoplasty is a popular aesthetic procedure. Although various modified continuous suture techniques have been used to create a more natural appearance and to reduce downtime, complications such as loosening of the double fold, asymmetry, and foreign body reactions have been observed. Methods This study included 250 patients who underwent double-eyelid blepharoplasty between March 1997 and November 2012 using a modified single-knot continuous buried non-incisional technique. With 4 stab incisions in the upper eyelids, one of two needles loaded with double-armed 7-0 nylon was passed in one direction alternately through the dermis and the conjunctiva, while the other needle was passed subconjunctivally in the opposite direction. Both ends of the sutures were knotted within a lateral stab incision of the upper eyelids and were buried in the orbicularis oculi muscle. Results Most patients displayed satisfactory aesthetic results, and no significant complications occurred. There was no obvious regression of the double fold; however, 3 patients required reoperation to correct loosening of the fold on one side during the follow-up period. One patient presented with the suture knot subcutaneously, and the knot was removed in the clinic. Conclusions The modified single-knot continuous buried non-incisional technique is a simple and less time-consuming method for a durable double fold and provides satisfactory aesthetic results.
