목적: 골 육종, 연골 육종은 흔한 질환이 아니므로, 일차 진료 현장에서 명확한 진단이 신속히 이루어지지 않고, 진단의 지연이나 오진으로 인해 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서, 상기 질환에 대한 초기 증상과 임상적 특징을 조사하여 이를 확인하고, 조기 진단에 도움을 주고자한다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 진단된 골 육종이나 연골 육종 환자로, 기록 검토와 설문지 조사가 가능한 139명을 대상으로 하였다. 골 육종 환자가 108명, 연골 육종이 31명이었고, 남자가 86명, 여자가 53명이었으며, 평균 연령은 골 육종이 20.2세, 연골 육종이 42.4세이었다. 결과: 병원을 방문하게 된 초기 증상은 두 질병 군 모두에서 동통이 가장 많았는데, 골 육종은 101명(93.5%), 연골 육종은 19명(61.3%)이었다. 이들 중 골 육종의 49명(48.5%), 연골 육종의 1명(5.3%)에서 통증이 외상과 관련되어 시작되었으며, 야간 동통이 골 육종의 77명(76.2%), 연골 육종의 11명(57.8%)에서 있었다. 처음 방문한 진료 기관에서 악성 골 종양으로 진단된 경우는 골 육종에서는 66명(61.1%), 연골 육종에서 20명(64.5%)이었고, 오진된 경우는 골 육종에서는 골절로 본 경우가 18명(16.7%)으로 가장 많았으며, 연골 육종에서는 골 감염으로 본 경우가 6명(19.4%)으로 가장 많았다. 초진 시에 방사선 촬영을 시행한 경우 골 육종과 연골 육종 모두에서 진단율이 유의하게 높았고(p=0.009, p=0.014), 성인 군에서의 진단율이 높았다(p=0.037). 연골 육종에서 골 육종보다 환자와 의사에 의한 지연이 모두 길었다. 진단의 의사 지연을 길게 하는 요소로는 초진 시에 단순 방사선 사진을 촬영하지 않는 것과 골반 등 축성골에 종양이 위치하는 것이었고, 외상과 미성년 환자는 진단의 환자 지연을 단축시킬 수 있는 요소로 파악되었다. 결론: 악성 골 종양의 조기 진단을 위해서는 외상이나 야간 동통 등의 병력 청취를 소홀히 하지 않아야 할 것이며, 초진시의 단순 방사선 촬영과 주기적인 경과 관찰 및 방사선 사진의 비교 등으로 조기 진단의 정확성에 힘써야 할 것이다.

옥천변성대의 남서부에 위치하는 전라북도 진안군 신보광산과 그 동부지역에서 고품위 우라늄 지화학 이상대가 보고된 바가 있다. 본 논문은 선캠브리아기 변성퇴적암류(규암, 변성이질암, 변성사질암)와 이를 관입하는 시대미상의 페그마타이트와 백악기 반암류 등이 분포하는 신보광산 동부지역에서 이들 구성암류가 경험한 변형작용과 변성광물의 성장 사이의 상대적인 시간관계에 대한 미구조의 연구결과를 보고하고, 기존 연구결과를 종합하여 광화작용의 상대적인 시기를 고찰하였다. D1 변형작용은 홍주석 반상변정 내에서 주로 신장된 석영, 흑운모, 불투명광물 등으로 정의되는 직선 형태의 내부엽리 Si 를 형성시켰다. Si 엽리를 미습곡시키고 S2 파랑엽리를 형성시키는 D2 변형작용은 전기 파랑습곡작용과 후기 파랑습곡작용으로 구분된다. 전자는 홍주석의 맨틀부에서 곡선 형태의 Si 를 형성시켰다. 후자는 홍주석을 포획하며 그 외부에서 S1-2 복합엽리를 형성시켰다. 홍주석 반상변정은 직선 Si 엽리에 해당하는 S1 엽리가 형성된 이후의 비변형작용 조건하에서 출현하여 후기 파랑습곡작용 이전까지 성장하였다. 시대미상의 페그마타이트는 D2 변형 이후에 관입하여 S1-2 복합엽리를 무질서하게 덮는 섬유상 규선석을 성장시켰다. D3 변형작용은 S1-2 복합 엽리와 D2 파랑습곡 그리고 섬유상 규선석을 미습곡시키는 F3 습곡을 형성시켰다. 이는 섬유상 규선석의 성장과 관련된 페그마타이트의 관입은 D2 변형과 D3 변형 사이의 비변형조건하에서 발생하였음을 지시한다. 흑운모의 녹니석화작용과 홍주석 반상변정 내부에서 S1-2 복합엽리와 F3 습곡축면에 평행한 두 방향의 벽개 라멜라에 의해 인지되는 후퇴변성작용은 각각 D2 후기변형과 D3 변형과 함께 발생하였다. 따라서 우라늄의 초생적 근원암을 페그마타이트로 간주하는 기존 연구결과를 고려해 볼 때, 시대미상의 페그마타이트는 지각이 상승하는 후퇴변성작용 동안에 해당하는 D2 변형과 D3 변형 사이의 비변형조건하에서 관입하여 신보광산 주변지역에 우라늄 광화대를 형성시킨 것으로 고찰된다.

유아 자폐증 환아에서의 신경 방사선학적 소견은 계속 연구되어 왔으나 이전의 연구에서는 일관된 특징적인 소견을 보여주지 못하였고, 대부분의 연구에서 성인이나 학령기 아동을 대상으로 하였었다. 본 연구는 8세 이전의 환아만을 대상으로 자기공명영상과 뇌혈류 SPECT의 기능적, 해부학적 이상을 알아보고자 하였다. DSM-IV와 CARS의 진단기준을 만족하는 18명의 환아를 대상으로 후향적으로 뇌혈류 SPECT와 자기공명영상 소견을 분석하였다. 환아의 평균연령은 55개월(28-89 개월)이었다. SPECT는 185-370 MBq의 Tc-99m ECD를 정맥주사후 annular crystal 감마카메라를 이용하여 시행하였고 자기공명영상은 1.5 Tesla GE signa machine을 이용하여 T1, T2 axial과 T1 sagittal sequence를 얻었다. 뇌혈류 SPECT 상 13명의 환아에서 국소적인 관류저하가 관찰되었고 각각 소뇌 충부(12/18), 소뇌반구(11/18), 시상(13/18), 기저핵(4/18), 두정엽(7/18), 측두엽(1/18)에서 관류저하 소견을 보였다. 반면 자기공명영상에서는 3명의 환아에서만 이상 소견을 보였는데 각각 뇌실 주변부 백질의 감소(3/18), 뇌량의 간 및 팽대부의 위축(1/18), 소뇌 충부의 용적 감소 (1/18)를 보였다. 뇌혈류 SPECT와 자기공명영상에서 나타난 이상 소견을 비교하여 볼 때 자기공명영상상의 합당한 해부학적 이상 소견이 없음에도 뇌혈류 SPECT에서 더 광범위한 혈류 저하 부위를 보였다. 결론적으로 뇌혈류 SPECT상 광범위한 관류 저하를 소뇌, 시상, 두정엽에서 관찰할 수 있었고, 뇌혈류 SPECT가 자기공명영상에 비하여 유아 자폐증의 병태생리를 반영함에 있어 더 민감한 방법임을 알 수 있었다 하지만 시상이나 두정엽의 관류 저하의 임상적 의미에 관한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Background: The compression of 7th cranial nerve by arteries is one of the various causes of hemifacial spasm (HFS). A few previous studies were revealed the relation between the compression of 7th cranial nerve and common trunk anomaly. We evaluated the common trunk anomalies in patients with HFS using MRI and MRA. Methods: From January 2001 to December 2005, 41 consecutive patients (9 men, mean age $54.5{\pm}12.6$) with HFS underwent MRI and MRA. T2 axial images and time-of-flight angiographies were reviewed for identification of the compression at root exit zone by two neuroradiologists and one neurologist. Results: Thirty-seven patients showed neurovascular compression on the lesion side. Twenty patients of them were shown the compression of 7th cranial nerve by anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), and seventeen patients of them were shown the compression by posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). Twenty-four patients of the thirty-seven patients had common trunk anomaly. In control, twelve of twenty-one subjects had common trunk anomaly, that the frequencies of common trunk anomaly of two groups were 58.8% in HFS and 57.1% in controls. In the twenty-four patients with common trunk anomaly, eighteen patients had dominant-AICA, and six patients had dominant-PICA. The rate of nerve compression by common trunk anomaly in the HFS with unilateral common trunk, dominant-AICA was 76.5% and dominant-PICA was 100%. Conclusions: This study also revealed that AICA was most common compressive artery. There was no difference between the HFS groups and control groups in frequency of common trunk anomaly. Thus, we could not demonstrate the relationship between common trunk anomaly and HFS.

Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to improve survival in locally advanced gastric cancer, but it is associated with significant toxicity. Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity have been studied in several types of cancers and have been reported to be associated with higher chemotherapy toxicity and morbi-mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia/sarcopenic obesity in patients with gastric cancer, as well as its association with chemotherapy toxicity and long-term outcomes. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using an academic cancer center patient cohort diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer between January 2012 and December 2014 and treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We analyzed body composition (skeletal muscle and visceral fat index) in axial computed tomography images. Results: A total of 48 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was $68{\pm}10years$, and 33 patients (69%) were men. Dose-limiting toxicity was observed in 22 patients (46%), and treatment was terminated early owing to toxicity in 17 patients (35%). Median follow-up was 17 months. Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were found at diagnosis in 23% and 10% of patients, respectively. We observed an association between termination of chemotherapy and both sarcopenia (P=0.069) and sarcopenic obesity (P=0.004). On multivariate analysis, the odds of treatment termination were higher in patients with sarcopenia (odds ratio=4.23; P=0.050). Patients with sarcopenic obesity showed lower overall survival (median survival of 6 months [95% confidence interval {CI}=3.9-8.5] vs. 25 months [95% CI=20.2-38.2]; log-rank test P=0.000). Conclusions: Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were associated with early termination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer; additionally, sarcopenic obesity was associated with poor survival.

Most fluorite deposits of South Korea are distributed in three metallogenic zones namly as: Hwacheon, Hwangangni and Geumsan metallogenic zones. Fluorite deposits of each zone show The characteristic features owing to the geological setting, the structural patterns and their forming processes. deposits of the Hwacheon metallogenic zone are wholly fissure filling hydrothermal veins emThe bedded in shear fractures of the granite gneiss or schists of Precambrian age or in the cooling fractures of the granite and acidic hypabyssal rocks which are assumed to be a differentiated sister rock of the granite. Localization of most fluorite veins of the region is structurally controlled by NW and EW fracture systems and genetically related to the granite intrusion which ascertained as motivating rock of the fluorite mineralization. Fluorites are in most cases accompanied by quartz, chalcedony mainly and rarely agate, calcite, barite and sulphide base metals in some localities. The deposits of the Hwangangni metallogenic zone were formed at the last stage of hydrothermal polymineralization of W, Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn. The majority of the fluorite ore bodies were originated from replacement in limestone beds of Great Limestone Series or in calcareous interbeds of metasediments, whereas some cavity-filling ore bodies were embedded in phyllites and schists of the Ockcheon system and along the fissures in the replaced beds which were originated by volume decrease. The localization of fluorite deposits in this region is genetically related to the Moongyong granite which has been dated as middle Cretaceous, and controlled structurally by the $N20^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}W$ extension fracture system or axial planes of folds, and by faults of NE direction that acted as paths of ore solution. The deposits of the Geumsan metallogenic zone are seemed to be formed through the similar process as that of Hwangangni metallogenic zone, but characteristic distinctions are in that they are more prevailing fracture filling veins and large number of the deposits are localized in roof-pendants or xenolithes of limestone in granites and porphyries. Igneous rocks that presumably motivated the mineraltzation are middle Cretaceous Geumsan granite and porphyries. Metallogenic epoch of the fluorite mineralization of South Korea are puesumably limited in early-middle Cretaceous. Studies of the fluid inclusions in fluorites of the region reveal that the homogenization temperature of the fluorite deposits are as follows: Hwacheon metallogenic zone : $95^{\circ}C{\sim}165^{\circ}C$; Hwangangni metallogenic zone : $97^{\circ}C{\sim}235^{\circ}C$; Geumsan metallogenic zone : $93^{\circ}C{\sim}236^{\circ}C$. Judging from the above results, the deposits of the Hwancheon region were formed at the epithermal stage, and those in the Hwangangni and Geumsan regions, were deposited at epithermal stage preceded by mesothermal mineralization of small scale in which some sulphide minerals were deposited. The analytical data of minor elements in the fluorites reveal that ore solutions of Hwangangni metallogenic zone seemed to be emanated in more acidic stage of magma differentiation than Hwacheon metallogenic zone did.

Purpose: Preshaped Locking compression plate(LCP) has holes with fixed angle between screw and plate and have advantage firm fixation because it has stability of angular and axial deformity. We evaluated usefulness of LCP after open reduction and internal fixation in distal fibular fracture. Materials and Methods: Between December 2011 and May 2012, 23 patients with fracture of distal fibula were followed up at least 12 months underwent open reduction and internal fixation with LCP. There were 15 males and 8 females with a mean age 39.8(20~69) years. According to Danis-Weber classification, there were 20 cases of type B and 3 cases of type C. There were 13 cases of isolated lateral malleolus fractures, 1 case of bimalleolar fracture, 6 cases of trimalleolar fractures and 3 cases of distal tibia fractures with proximal fibula fracture. Intraoperatively, we assessed whether preshaped LCP fit lateral margin of distal fibula or not and evaluated quality of reduction and postoperative complications. The cases were analyzed by radiological bone union time and clinical results according to the criteria of Meyer Results: Of all cases, complete bone union was achieved and average radiological bone union time was 7.3(6~12) weeks. The clinical results were excellent in 18 cases(78%), good in 5 cases(22%). There were 5 cases of plate with 3 holes, 13 cases of plate with 4 holes, 2 cases of plate with 5 holes, 1 case of plate with 6 holes and 2 cases of plate with 7 holes. The average number of screws at proximal fragement was 2.5 and at distal fragment was 3.5. In 14 cases (60.8 %), we needed re-bending of plate because the distance between plate and lateral cortical margin of distal fibula was more than 5 mm at anteroposterior X-ray after reduction. All cases have anatomical reduction and there were no complications of wound infections. There were no complaint about hardware irritation. Conclusion: At fractures of distal fibula,preshaped LCP had a excellent stability although far cortex was not fixed with screw and bending of plate. And there are less complications of hardware irritation and wound problems. But, Some complement would be needed because there were no complete fitting between precontour of LCP and lateral cortical margin of distal fibula.

Background: In recent years, pediatric chronic sinusitis patients who don't respond with antibiotics are increasing, but there are a few reports on the herbal medicine therapy treating pediatric chronic sinusitis, so this report was studied. Objective: To demonstrate the effect of herbal medicine therapy in the chronic sinusitis before and after treatment using computed tomograpy (CT) and plain radiograpy. Materials and methods: Ninty patients (45 mail and 45 femail) treated in our hospital between February 1998 and August 1999 were studied. Ages ranged from 3 to 13 years (mean age :6.5 years). Sixty two patients had a underlyiing family history (allergy or sinusitis of parents or brothers), In the past history, 68 patients had asthma, allergy of milk, atopic dermatitis, bronchiollitis and irritable bowel syndrom. Illness period was from 10 days to 96 months (mean period:12.4 month). Duration of treatment were from 25 days to 200days (mean:96 days). To ascertain the efficacy of treatment, CT in the 42 and plain radiopgrapy in the 48 patients were checked out. In the CT, three images were obtained 2cm interval on the coronal and axial plan. CT findings of the chronic sinusitis were analyzed for mucoperiostal thickening before and after treatment using 4 grades;(normal, mild, moderate, severe). Normal was defined as below 3mm thickening of mucoperiosteum; mild was 3-5mm thickening; moderate was 5mm-1cm thickening; severe was above 1cm thickening. Plain radiograpy using Water's view provided maxillary sinus, anterior ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus. Normal was defined as simillar to density between sinus and oronasal cavity; mild was defined as generally increased density with no significant mucoperiosteal thickning; moderate was partial mucosal thickening without bony hypertropy; severe was total haziness with mucoperiosteal thickening. Gamihyunggyeyungyo-tang was administered mainly. Gamigwaghyangjeungki-san, Gamizwakwi-eum and Gamihyangso-san were administered for through oral route additional symptoms Results: Of the 90 patients, 84 patients showed complete recovery (93%), 4 patients showed no significant interval change(4%) and 2 patients were aggrevated (2%). Sixty patients were severe(67%) and 26 patients were moderate (29%), 4 patients were mild(4%) The duration of treatment was varied with patient conditions (91 days in average); severe were 101.7 days, moderate were 70 days and mild were 63 days. Fifty three patients with maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis were 114 days, 35 patients with maxillary sinusitis only were 71.5 days. Fifty eight patients with both maxillary sinusitis were 94.6 days, 26 patients with either maxillary sinusitis were 65 days. The symtoms of chronic sinusitis were nasal obstruction(75%), cough(69%), purulunt or mucosal discharge(62%), lymphoid follicle(54%), postnasal dripping(49%), headache(23%) and nose bleeding(22%). Conclusion: We know that herbal medicine therapy is the effective treatment of pediatric chronic sinusitis using plain radiograpy and CT. The duration of treatment may be significant assosiation with the location and degree of chronic sinusitis.
