Commercially available software packages permit to position human models of various geometries in practical scenarios while respecting the anatomical constraints of the skeletal joints and of the bulk of the bodies. Beyond such features, the PAM-Comfort(sup)TM software has been conceived to provide direct access to the muscular forces needed by humans to perform physical actions where muscle force is required. The PAM-Comfort(sup)TM human models are made of multi-body linked anatomical skeletons, equipped with finite elements of the relevant skeletal muscles. The hyper-static problem of determination of muscle forces is solved by optimisation technique. Voluntary stiffening of muscles can be added to the basic contraction levels needed to perform a specific task. The calculated muscle forces obey Hills model. The model and software have been applied in several interesting scenarios of various fields of application, such as car industry, handling of equipment and sports activities.

The anatomical structure of fusiform ray was examined by scanning electron microscopy (and microscopic images were analysed by image analyser) to explain the differences in radial fluid uptake between the extremes in the radial treatment data, i.e. between the selected trees of QCI (Queen Charlotte Islands in Rhondda, South Wales) and SO (South Oregon in Dalby, North-East England) planted in the UK. The ray structure of these two seed origins was examined microscopically and different patterns of ray composition were observed. The most important anatomical features influencing radial permeability were the nature of fusiform ray, and the condition of the resin canals, epithelial cells and intercellular spaces in particular.

Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells and can grow at any site in the central nervous system (CNS), as well as in some locations outside of the CNS. The latter is rare, contributing to the frequent misdiagnoses of such cases. Herein, we present the case of a 54-year-old man with a history of lower limb weakness and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extradural, heterogeneously enhanced solid lesion with a regular and well-defined border in the posterior mediastinum. A post-resection histopathological examination revealed tumor-forming perivascular pseudo-rosettes that showed immunoreactivity against glial fibrillary acidic protein, epithelial membrane antigen, and vimentin, as well as a high Ki-67 labeling index. Based on pathological features, a diagnosis of anaplastic ependymoma was established.

Chordoid glioma is a rare primary brain tumor of the third ventricle, and was recently characterized as a novel tumor entity. Typical radiological features of chordoid gliomas include; a solid, round-to-ovoid, well-circumscribed, contrast-enhancing mass of the hypothalamus and anterior third ventricle. Despite being classified as WHO grade 2, the third ventricular chordoid glioma has been reported to have a poor clinical outcome because of its anatomical location. The authors report a case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle in a 48-year-old man with unusual radiological features of cystic component and ill defined circumscription.

본 연구(硏究)는 압축이상재가 현저하게 발달되어 있는 낙우송(落羽松)(Taxodium distichum Rich.)의 기재(技材)로부터 압축이상재율과 편심율 변이에 따른 압축이상재와 대응재의 해부학적(解剖學的) 특성(特性)을 비교(比較)하고자 실시하였다. 압축이상재의 조직학적(組織學的) 특성(特性)은 가도관의 둥근형태, 춘재로부터 추재로의 매우 점진적인 가도관 이행(移行), 가도관 선단부의 뒤얽힘 및 나선강(螺旋腔)과 세포간극의 존재 등에 있어 대응재와 다른 특성(特性)을 나타내었으며, 이러한 조직학적(組織學的) 특성(特性)은 압축이상재율과 편싱심률에 관계없이 유지하는 경향을 보였다. 수량적(數量的) 특성에 있어서도 압축이상재는 가도관장(假導管長)이 대응재보다 짧은 특성을 보였으나 방사조직(放射組織) 밀도(密度)와 단열방사조직(單列放射組織)의 수(數)는 압축이상재가 대응재보다 많았다. 그리고 단열방사조직의 세포고(細胞高)는 대응재가 압축이 상재보다 더 큰 특성(特性)을 나타내었다.

Purpose: The mental foramen (MF) is an important anatomical structure during local anesthesia and surgical procedures in terms of achieving effective mental nerve blocks and avoiding injuries to the neurovascular bundles. Thus, understanding the anatomic features of the mandibular canal and accessory mental foramen in Korean could contribute to the surgical anatomic assessment. This study was to elucidate frequency, position and course of AMF (accessory mental foramen) in Korean using 3D cone beam computed tomography. Materials and Methods: The CBCT (Conbeam computed tomography) DICOM data (Alphard, Asahi, Japan) from 540 patients in korean were analyzed. We investigated images of 3D CBCT using Ondemand (CyberMed, Korea) software program on the incidence and anatomical characteristics of accessory foramen. Results: The accessory mental foramina were found in 17 patients. Accessory mental foramina exist predominantly in the apical area of the second premolar and posteroinferior area of the mental foramen. The accessory branches of the mandibular canal showed common characteristics in the course of gently sloping posterosuperior direction in the buccal surface area. The size of most AMF was obviously smaller than that of MF. Conclusion: We could identify frequency, position and course of AMF (accessory mental foramen) by the anatomical study of the accessory mental foramen using 3D cone beam CT in Korean.

쉬땅나무족(Adenostoma: 2spp., Chamaebatiaria: 1sp., Sorbaria: 9spp., Spiraeanthus: 1sp.)과 근연분류군인 Lyonothamnus속 2종을 포함한 총 15분류군의 잎의 해부학적인 형질을 광학현미경(LM)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 모든 해부학적 형질은 잎의 횡단면을 비교하고 기재하였으며, 해부학적 형질로 분류군 간 중륵과 엽신의 횡단면, 중륵의 두께, 각피층, 표피세포, 기공, 모용, 엽육조직, 결정체, 주유관속 유형 등의 형질을 비교하였다. 본 연구 결과에서는 중륵의 주유관속 패턴을 크게 두 타입으로 구분하여 기재하였다. Type 1: 불연속유관속, 독립된 3개의 호형(Adenostoma), Type 2: 연속유관속, subtype 2A: 다소 편평(flat)한 호형(Chamaebatiaria, Spiraeanthus), subtype 2B: U-shape 호형(Lyonothamnus, Sorbaria). 또한 세부적인 해부학적 형질에 대해 자세히 기재하였고, 분류학적 중요성에 대해 논의하였다. 결론적으로, 일부 잎의 해부학적 형질(예, 각피층, 표피세포, 모용, 엽육조직, 유관속 패턴)은 진단형질로서 유용함을 확인하였고, 쉬땅나무족 내 이면기공엽과 배복성의 엽육조직, U-shape의 유관속 패턴의 형질이 쉬땅나무속을 구분하는 주요형질임을 밝혔다.

본 연구는 섬잣나무(Pinus parviflora S. et Z.) 지재에 발달되어 있는 압축이상재, 측면재 및 대응재의 조직학적 특성을 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 비교, 검토하였다. 조재로부터 만재로의 가도관 이행은 압축이상재가 측면재나 대응재보다 상대적으로 더 점진적이었다. 그리고 연륜폭과 만재율은 압축이상재가 측면재 혹은 대응재보다 큰 경향을 보였다. 횡단면상 만재 가도관의 형상에 있어 정방형 내지 다각형을 나타내는 측면재 및 대응재와는 달리 압축이상재는 원형을 나타냈다. 세포간극, 나선강, 나선째짐 및 슬릿형 벽공구는 압축이상재에만 발달하였다. 그러나 우상층은 측면재 및 대응재뿐만 아니라 압축이상재 가도관에서도 모두 관찰되었다. 압축이상재의 교분야벽공은 정상적인 창상형 벽공이 아니라 심한 변형을 통해 편백형 내지 삼나무형 벽공을 나타내기 때문에 식별 인자로 이용될 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 방추형방사조직의 폭과 높이는 압축이상재가 측면재 및 대응재의 것보다 넓고 낮은 모습을 보였다. 결론적으로 압축이상재의 해부학적 특징은 측면재나 대응재와 상이한 특성을 나타냈으나 대응재와 측면재 사이에는 해부학적 차이가 거의 없었다.

The pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor, which is composed of an admixture of carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, and accounts for 0.3% of all pulmonary neoplasms. Clinicopathological features are often related to anatomical location: central endobronchial type and peripheral parenchymal type. Noninvasive diagnostic test had a low yield in detection sarcomatoid carcinoma. Metastasis to the regional lymph nodes and to distant organ is common. The prognosis is poor and the median survival is about 15 months. We report two cases of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma with review of literatures.
