Osteosarcoma in patients older than 40 years are rare, however they have different clinical, radiological and pathological features from those of younger patients. Sometimes accurate histologic diagnosis is not easy, which is important in determining the correct surgical treatment and appropriate chemotherapy. Since January 1995, 11 patients with osteosarcoma occurring in patients older than 40 years have been diagnosed, treated and followed up for more than 6 months. In contrast to osteosarcoma in children and adolescents, only 4 cases(36.4%) were conventional types, while the others included 2 malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like types, 2 small cell types, 2 periosteal osteosarcomas and 1 giant cell-rich type. Seven cases showed purely osteolytic or predominantly osteolytic bony lesions and 8 were in Enneking stage IIB. Performed surgical treatments included 2 amputations, 6 wide resections and reconstructions, and one curettage and autogenous bone graft. In the remaining 2 cases, definitive surgical treatments included not carried out because of old age, multifocal involvement or poor medical tolerance. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapies were performed in 9 of 11 patients. At last follow-up, there were 6 continuously disease-free survivals, 3 alive with diseases and 2 died of diseases. The overall cumulative 4-year survival rate calculated using Kaplan-Meier's productlimit method was 59.3%. For improved oncologic outcomes and survivals, early and accurate diagnosis, surgical treatment with adequate margin and neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy will be necessary.

Background: The cancer of the prostate risk assessment (CAPRA) score has been defined to predict prostate cancer recurrence based on the pre-clinical data, then pathological data have also been incorporated. Thus, CAPRA post-surgical (CAPRA-S) score has been developed based on six criteria (prostate specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis, pathological Gleason score, and information on surgical margin, seminal vesicle invasion, extracapsular extension and lymph node involvement) for the prediction of post-surgical recurrences. In the present study, biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free probabilities after open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RP) were evaluated by the CAPRA-S scoring system and its three-risk level model. Materials and Methods: CAPRA-S scores (0-12) of our 240 radical prostatectomies performed between January 2000-May 2011 were calculated. Patients were distributed into CAPRA-S score groups and also into three-risk groups as low, intermediate and high. BCR-free probabilities were assessed and compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. Ability of CAPRA-S in BCR detection was evaluated by concordance index (c-index). Results: BCR was present in 41 of total 240 patients (17.1%) and the mean follow-up time was $51.7{\pm}33.0$ months. Mean BCR-free survival time was 98.3 months (95% CI: 92.3-104.2). Of the patients in low, intermediate and high risk groups, 5.4%, 22.0% and 58.8% had BCR, respectively and the difference among the three groups was significant (P = 0.0001). C-indices of CAPRA-S score and three-risk groups for detecting BCR-free probabilities in 5-yr were 0.87 and 0.81, respectively. Conclusions: Both CAPRA-S score and its three-risk level model well predicted BCR after RP with high c-index levels in our center. Therefore, it is a clinically reliable post-operative risk stratifier and disease recurrence predictor for prostate cancer.

사지 구제술이 보편화된 후 슬 관절 주위 골육종 환자의 재건 방법은 술자의 선호도에따라 차이가 있을 수 있으나 비교적 표준화 되어 있다. 현재 주로 시행되는 사지 구제술 방법으로는 크게 인공관절 치환술, 동종골 이식술이 있다. 인공관절 치환술의 경우 매우 안정적이며 술후 기능적으로도 양호한 방법으로 알려져 있으나, 궁극적으로 파손에 의한 제거술 시행이 필수적인 단점이 있다. 장기적인 관점에서 볼때 이식골을 이용한 재건술은 큰 장점을 갖고 있다. 하지만, 동종골의 사용은 요구되는 크기와 모양을 쉽게 구하기 어렵다는 단점이 있으며, 자가골 이식술은 수술 절제연이 안전하고, 그 적응증이 확립된 경우에만 사용해야 한다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 사지 구제술에 있어 분절 절제법은 골간의 병변에 있어 그 유용성이 확립되어 있으나, 골간단의 병변에 있어서는 시행 적응증이 널리 알려져 있지 않다. 저자들은 17세 환자의 근위 경골 내측과에 국한적으로 발생한 골육종의 증례에서 내측과 절제만으로도 안전한 절제연을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료되어 내측과 절제술 및 저온 열처리 자가골 이식술을 시행하였다. 본 술식은 추가적인 성장이 예상되는 소아환자에게 시행하였을 경우, 추후 파손 발생시에도 반측 치환술로 치환 가능한 방법으로 생각되어 보고하는 바이다.

상악 전치부의 보철 수복은 치과 영역의 심미 치료에 있어서 매우 중요한 치료이다. 상악 전치부의 보철 수복을 통해 치아의 형태나 배치, 색상 등을 대체함으로써 심미성의 개선이 가능하다. 이러한 치료를 계획할 때, 안모 및 치아와 입술과의 관계 분석, 치아와 치은의 분석 등을 통해 환자마다 개별적인 고려 사항에 대한 접근이 필요하다. 이러한 고려 사항 중 치아 주위 치은 구조를 적절히 형성하는 것은 매우 중요한데, 치은 변연의 높이, 치은 정점의 위치, 치간 유두의 재건, 출현 윤곽, 좌우 측의 대칭성 등을 고려해야 한다. 하지만 치은 구조가 항상 적절히 형성되어 있는 것은 아니기 때문에, 보철 치료 시 비심미적인 치은 구조의 개선을 위한 처치를 계획해야 하는 경우가 많다. 이 증례에서는 치은 외형의 결함으로 인한 비심미성을 개선하기 위해 치료를 시행한 환자들에서 외과적 처치 없이 각각 pink porcelain, 치은 연하 형태의 형성, 가공치 기저부 형태의 조정을 통해 만족할만한 심미적인 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

Extracellular matrix(ECM) is known to function as a reservoir of endogenous growth factors, can be an effective delivery system of growth factor that easily lost bioactivity in solution. Fibrillar collagens like type I collagen, are the major constituent of the ECM and structural protein of bone. Also, it can be a scaffold for osteoblast migration. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of absorbable Atelo-collagen Sponge($Teruplug^{(R)}$) insertion in tooth extraction sites on periodontal healing of the mandibular second molar after the extraction of the impacted third molar. The study population comprised 31 cases who had been scheduled for surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. All patients were in good general health and were not using any medication that would influence wound healing after surgery. In 15 cases control group, none was inserted into the tooth extraction site. In 16 cases experimental groups, $Teruplug^{(R)}$ was inserted into the tooth extraction site. We evaluated tooth mobility, pocket depth, gingival margin level preoperatively and 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months postoperatively. The change was compared with two groups using Mann-Whitney test. The results were as follows. 1. There was no significant change of tooth mobility on both groups. 2. There was tendency of decreasing of previous pocket depth causing tooth extraction on both groups. 3. On gingival margin level, there was various change according to initial swelling and loss of attachment on both groups. 4. There was tendency of decreasing of gingival margin level on both groups because of removal of inflammation and decreasing of previous pocket depth. 5. There was large change of pocket depth on buccal middle, distal, lingual distal area because of tooth extraction and bone reduction. Compared with the control group and experimental group, we observed significant difference during some periods. The results of this study suggest that absorbable atelo-collagen sponge($Teruplug^{(R)}$) is relatively favorable bone void filler with prevention of tissue collapse, food packing and enhance periodontal healing.

Purpose: To evaluate the treatment outcomes of adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy (VB) following radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer patients with involved vaginal resection margin (VRM). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 21 patients treated with postoperative EBRT and VB for positive VRM FIGO stage IB-IIA cervical cancer between 2003 and 2015. Concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy was administered to all patients. Results: The median whole pelvis EBRT dose was 50.4 Gy (range, 45 to 50.4 Gy). In the VB, the median dose per fraction, number of fractions, and total dose delivered were: 4 Gy (range, 3.0 to 4.0 Gy), 4 fractions (range, 3 to 5 fractions), and 16 Gy (range, 12 to 20 Gy), respectively. At a median follow-up of 46 months (range, 9 to 122 months), local recurrence was observed in 2 patients, and distant metastasis was present in 7 patients. All patients with local recurrence subsequently developed distant metastases. The 5-year local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 89.1%, 65.9%, and 62.9%, respectively. Of the 21 patients, 7 patients (33.3%) reported grade 2 acute toxicity; however, there were no grade 3 or higher acute adverse events. Grade 1-2 late toxicities were observed in 8 patients. Late grade 3 urinary toxicity was reported in 1 patient. Conclusions: Adjuvant EBRT and VB showed excellent local control and low toxicity in cervical cancer patients with positive VRM. Although limited by its retrospective nature, the findings from our study provide evidence supporting the use of additional VB in pathologically involved VRM.

Objectives: Primary malignant tumors in the salivary glands are relatively rare. Because of the rarity and the different histopathologic patterns, it is difficult to establish a uniform treatment strategy. The prime treatment of salivary gland malignancy is the surgery, but the role of radiotherapy has been under debate. Radiation therapy combined with conservative surgical procedures may be as successful and perhaps more rational treatment than radical surgery alone. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical pattern, incidence, treatment modality and outcome of the salivary gland maligancy. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 32 patients with malignant neoplasm of salivary gland who treated at the Keimyung university Dongsan hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The overall 5 year survival rate was 77.9% stage I : 100%, stage II : 75%, stage III : 66.7%, stage IV : 55.6%). The 5 year survival rate according to tumor grade was 100% in low grade malignancy, 71.8% in high grade malignancy. The 5 year survival rate according to treatment modalities was as follows: Surgery only group was 83.3%, combined treatment group with surgery and posoperative radiation was 74.6%. Conclusion: The factors affecting prognosis is variable, but the stage at the time of diagnosis, site of lesion, tumor grade, histologic subtype were important factors. Surgery was the prime treatment tool and postoperative radiotherapy was also imperative in higher stage patient, high grade tumor, or patients with positive surgical margin.

Background: Neer type II distal clavicle fractures have the drawback of coracoclavicular instability and insufficient distal bony fragment, thereby making it difficult to achieve adequate fixation. Although various surgical treatments have been described for Neer type II fracture, the optimal treatment remains controversial. This study reports the clinical results and usefulness of anatomical locking plate with additional K-wire fixation. Methods: A totally of 21 patients with type II distal clavicle fracture were included in the study. The surgical procedure reduced the fracture temporarily; it included insertion of one or two K-wire from the lateral margin of the distal fragment to the proximal fragment through the fracture site, followed by application and fixation of the locking plate. The bony union and migration of K-wire was evaluated in the follow-up radiography. The coracoclavicular distance and acromioclavicular joint arthrosis were assessed at the final follow-up. The Constant Score (CS) and Korean Shoulder Score (KSS) were evaluated for clinical scoring. Results: Bone union was achieved in all cases. At the final follow-up, coracoclavicular distance of the injured shoulder was increased, as compared to the intact shoulder (p=0.002), with no accompanying clinical symptoms. No K-wire migration was observed. At the final follow-up, K-wire irritation was observed in two cases and acromioclavicular arthrosis in one case, with no other adverse effects. Pain visual analogue scale, CS, and KSS were improved in all cases. Conclusions: The method of anatomical locking plate with additional K-wire fixation could be useful in achieving beneficial clinical results.

Ameloblastoma is cytologically a benign tumor, but is clinically characterized by infiltrative growth and high recurrency. The criteria for surgical treatment of ameloblastoma has not yet established and it is generally accepted that ameloblastoma be treated differently based on clinical types. The purpose of this paper is to consider effectiveness of enucleation in large-sized intraosseous ameloblastoma that has treated more frequently by radical treatment. 39 cases of the intraosseous ameloblastomas were treated by enucleation in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of Yonsei University, dental college from February 1990 to January 2001. 25 cases were selected because they were large in size that could produce facial disfigurement or pathologic fracture of jaws. They were radiographically characterized by the cortical bone that was expanded or eroded locally and histopathologically by 19 solid ameloblastomas and 6 intramural type of unicystic ameloblastomas. Among the 25 cases, 4 cases - 3 solid ameloblastomas and 1 intramural type of ameloblastoma - recurred. Recurrence rate was 16%. The compact bone which is not invaded by ameloblastoma was used as surgical margin of enucleation with accompanying chemical cauterization for killing the residual tumor cells. This may have been the reason for the low recurrence rate. So, it is considered that enucleation and long-term follow-up enable the large-sized intraosseous ameloblastomas that were characterized by almost destroyed cancellous bone and expanded or discontinued cortical bone to treat minimizing facial disfigurement and masticatory dysfunction and sociopsychological impact produced by radical treatment. I recommend that the large-sized intraosseous ameloblastomas without involvement to the surrounding soft tissues be first treated by enucleation.
