본 연구는 기존 안내문에서 사용하고 있는 문어체의 글자와 배열, 형태 등을 시각적으로 디자인 및 재배치 함으로써 환자의 이해도 및 검사에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가 하였다. 서울아산병원 핵의학과 영상검사에서 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 Bone Scan과 $^{201}Thallium$ Myocardium Perfusion SPECT의 Rest Scan 안내문을 개선 대상으로 선정하고, 원내 이노베이션센터와 협의하여 새롭게 디자인 하였다. 2016년 11월부터 2017년 2월은 기존의 안내문을, 2017년 3월부터 5월은 개선된 안내문을 사용하였으며, 개선 전후의 비교를 위해 해당 시기에 Bone Scan을 시행한 환자를 대상으로 안내문에 제시된 전처치 준수 및 그에 따른 영상의 질, 검사 소요시간을 측정하였고, $^{201}Thallium$ Myocardium Perfusion SPECT를 시행한 환자를 대상으로 안내문의 내용 이해에 대한 설문조사와 안내 후 재질문 하는 환자 및 질문유형, 안내문의 내용을 이행하지 않은 환자수를 분석하였다. 개선 후에는 Bone Scan은 전 처치가 미흡한 환자와 그로 인해 추가 영상이 필요한 환자가 감소하였고 평균 검사 소요시간은 안내문 개선 후 추가 영상 획득 시간의 감소로 약 2분 감소하였다. $^{201}Thallium$ Myocardium Perfusion SPECT의 경우 안내문의 내용 이해에 대한 5가지 문항에서 모두 이해도가 증가한 결과를 얻었으며, 검사 관련 재질문 하는 환자와 안내문의 내용을 이행하지 않은 환자 모두 감소하였다. 검사 안내문은 일방적이고 단순한 정보 제공이 아니라 환자 및 보호자와의 원활한 소통으로 이어지며, 영상품질과 업무 효율성을 향상시키고 나아가 검사 소요시간의 관리로 생산성 향상에도 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

High-throughput screening has become a popular method used to identify new “leads”for potentially therapeutic compounds. Further screening of these lead compounds is typically done with secondary assays which may utilize living, functioning cells as screening tools. A problem (or benefit) with these cell-based assays is that living cells are very sensitive to their environment. We have been interested in the process of stem cell migration and how it relates to the cellular therapy of bone marrow transplantation. In this study we describe a secondary, cell-based assay for screening the effects of various in-vitro conditions on Immature Hematopoietic Cell (IHC) migration. Our results have revealed many subtle factors, such as the cell's adhesive characteristics, or the effect of a culture's growth phase, that need to be accounted for in a screening protocol. Finally, we show that exponentially glowing KG1a cells (a human IHC cell line) were 10 times more motile than those in the lag or stationary phases. These data strongly suggest that KG1a cells secrete a chemokinetic factor during the exponential growth phase of a culture.

This is a case report on an unusual - heavy buccal frenum in young lady which was treated by frenectomy, vestibuloplasty and total-palatal mucosal free graft. The authors noticed that this abnormal condition lead several chronic complications in young patient as like as premature loss of upper molar teeth, early and rapid loss of alveolar bone around insertion of frenum, over - extended eruption of lower molar teeth and abnormal mandibular movements, etc. After frenectomy and surgical extension of buccal vestiblue on both upper and lower posterior regions, we obtained a full - sized palatal mucosal graft and moved it on upper and lower extension area seperately as two pieces of free grafts to offer inherent function of denture - bearing mucogingiva and same color - matching with oral mucosa and to prevent post - operative relapse of vestibular height. We discussed here about unusual abnormality and their complications of unusual buccal frenum and its treatment.

Intracranial granulocytic sarcomas are rare tumors, which are composed of immature granulocytic cells. Although it has been well known that these tumors are associated with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), they have been almost always related to bone marrow relapse. However, isolated recurrence of granulocytic sarcoma following complete remission from prior AML is extremely rare, especially in the central nervous system. A 44-year-old male presented with isolated recurrence of granulocytic sarcoma mimicking a falx meningioma two years after complete remission by allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transfusion (PBSCT) in the acute myelomonoblastic leukemia (FAB, M4). Because of depressed mental state and mass effect, total surgical resection was performed. Pathological findings were compatible with the granulocytic sarcoma. There was no evidence of leukemic relapse in the peripheral blood. We suggest that this phenomenon can be explained by the hypothesis that a certain barrier effect such as blood brain barrier might lead to the proliferation of intracranial leukemic cells which metastasized before PBSCT.

Purpose: Blowout fracture can lead to functional impairments and esthetic deformities such as impairment of ocular movement, diplopia, visual loss and enophthalmos. The object of this study is to present a classification and its analysis according to the computed tomographic scan in blowout fractures. We classified blow out fractures into three types according to the anatomical location of fracture, the size of the bone defect and the degree of periosteal injury by using the computed tomography scan. Each progress and complications were analyzed more than mean 1 year. Methods: Among the 155 cases during 4 years, there were 11 cases of medial orbital wall fracture, 97 cases of inferior orbital wall fracture, 47 cases of combined type. The mean age of patients was 31.2 years, ranged from 8 to 84 years. Results: According to our classification, surgical treatments through the nasoendoscopic approach, the subciliary approach, the transconjunctival approach or their combinations were performed in 116 patients, and conservative treatments were done in 46 patients. Presurgical clinical findings of diplopia, impairment of ocular movement, enophthalmos of more than 2 mm were present in 62 patients. After surgical treatment, clinical findings were remained in 7 patients. Conclusion: We think that our classification according to computed tomographic scan is helpful for the indication and it may decrease the complications such as impairment of ocular movement, diplopia, visual loss and enophthalmos.

Objective : The goal of this study is to evaluate the clinical results in six patients who underwent surgical decompression for the acute subdural hematomas[ASDH] of posterior cranial fossa. Methods : Six patients [five males and one female] who had undergone surgery for ASDH of posterior cranial fossa between 2000 and 2005, were evaluated retrospectively with regard to clinicoradiological findings and surgical outcomes. The mean age was 45.8 years [range $9{\sim}67\;years$]. Results : Preoperative computed tomography showed ASDH on cerebellar hemisphere in four patients and on midline in two. All patients had the associated lesions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, epidural or subdural hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, contusion or pneumocephalus in supratentorial area. Fracture of occipital bone was noted in two patients. Of the four patients who had 13 to 15 of Glasgow coma scale score at the time of admission, three were deteriorated within 24 hours after trauma. Of these three patients, delayed subdural hematoma developed 1 hour after initial normal CT finding in one patient and increased in thickness in another one. Postoperative outcome showed good recovery in three patients and moderate disability in one. Two patients were expired. Conclusion : This study supports that early diagnosis based on strict observation and prompt surgery in the patients with ASDH in posterior fossa will lead to the best results.

Conventional methods for fabricating three-dimensional (3-D) scaffolds have substantial limitations. In this paper, we present 3-D scaffolds that can be made repeatedly with the same dimensions using a microstereolithography system. This system allows the fabrication of a pre-designed internal structure, such as pore size and porosity, by stacking photopolymerized materials. The scaffolds must be manufactured in a material that is biocompatible and biodegradable. In this regard, we synthesized liquid photocurable biodegradable TMC/TMP, followed by acrylation at terminal ends. And also, solidification properties of TMC/TMP polymer are to be obtained through experiments. Cell adhesion to scaffolds significantly affects tissue regeneration. As a typical example, we seeded chondrocytes on two types of 3-D scaffold and compared the adhesion results. Based on these results, the scaffold geometry is one of the most important factors in chondrocyte adhesion. These 3-D scaffolds could be key factors for studying cell behavior in complex environments and eventually lead to the optimum design of scaffolds for the regeneration of various tissues, such as cartilage and bone.

Bleeding from bone marrow after sternotomy for open cardiac surgery can be sometimes difficult to control and even lead to reoperation for hemostasis. A clinical comparative study was carried out to demonstrate the hemostatic effect of fibrin glue [Beriplast] for sternal marrow bleeding after sternotomy for open heart surgery. Postoperative blood loss was measured in two patient groups, group A included 19 patients operated upon from June to October 1987 and the fibrin glue was applied to the sternal marrow together with collagen fleece and group B consisted of 22 patients from January to May 1987 and only collagen fleece was applied without fibrin glue. There was no difference between two groups in age and sex distributions, coagulation state, method of extracorporeal circulation and operative management. The blood loss one hour after operation was 2.04 ml/hr/kg in group A and 3.55 ml/hr/kg in group B [P<0.001]. The most significant difference was observed during the first 4 hours after surgery with 1.34 ml/hr/kg versus 2.05 ml/hr/kg. over the following 20 hours the amount of drainage from the chest tubes was identical in both groups. Fibrin glue reduces blood loss after open heart surgery by local hemostasis at sternum. Our study has shown that local application of fibrin glue to sternal marrow is an effective method of controlling the sternal bleedings. No side effect or complication of fibrin glue was noted.

Objectives : The paper reviews the texts related to Naosuxiaoshuo in Huangdineijing, and investigates its cause, mechanism, prognosis and symptom expressions. Methods : The paper searches for the texts within Huangdineijing that deal with Naosuxiaoshuo, and tries to clarify the significance and the characteristics of Naosuxiaoshuo using the annotators comments regarding this issue. Moreover, the paper tries to search for similarities between the symptoms of Naosuxiaoshuo and the relevant diseases in modern medicine. Results : Naosuxiaoshuo is a serious disease where the diminishing of the brain's parenchyma can even lead to death. The cause is yin-deficiency based on the lack of vital essence and body fluid, and it also can be caused by the external pathogen or other stimulations. Moreover, it shows some similarities with brain atrophy and cerebrospinal fluid diseases. Conclusions : Naosuxiaoshuo should be treated with a focus on yin-tonifying dealing with spleen related to production of body fluid and the kidney related to storage of vital essence. It is also important to prevent external pathogens or stimulations damaging the bone marrow.
