본 연구는 흰쥐의 흉추 9번을 타박 손상시키고 1주간의 휴식 후 스트레스를 유발하지 않는 저강도 트레드밀운동을 7주동안 수행하여, 가자미근 위축지연 변화를 western blotting과 H&E 염색 그리고 면역형광염색법으로 관찰하였으며, BBB-검사를 이용하여 기능적 회복을 관찰하였다. 형태학적 변화의 결과 척수손상 후 트레드밀 운동에 의해 하지부위 가자미 근과 근섬유의 횡단면 크기가 증가하였으며, 근섬유 세포에서 IGF-I 단백질 발현이 증가하였다. 또한 생화학적인 결과 척수손상 후 트레드밀 운동에 의해 하지부위 골격근 IGF-I 단백질 발현이 증가하였으며, 행동학적 검사를 통해 트레드밀 운동그룹이 비 운동그룹보다 기능적 회복이 개선된 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 근 비대에 직접적으로 관여하는 IGF-I 단백질 발현량이 운동에 의해 증가하여 가자미근크기 증가와 같은 근 위축 지연을 확인하였으며, 이러한 변화를 통해 기능적 회복에 긍정적인 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 운동은 척수손상 환자에게 효과적인 기능재활 치료방법이 될 수 있으며, 장애를 최소화하여 자발적인 일상생활을 도모할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Patients complaining of swelling and hematoma caused by contusion of the face can be easily seen in the emergency room. Most of the treatments were conservative treatments such as ice bag application, mild compression dressing, and massage. During the follow-up, fibrosis progression due to hematoma was frequently observed in the contusion site. When hematoma or fibrosis is confirmed, hyaluronidase (H-lase) 1,500 IU and 2 mL of normal saline were mixed and subcutaneously injected in crisscross manner. To evaluate the improvement of hematoma before and after hyaluronidase injection, three plastic surgeons evaluated using the Vancouver scar scale and compared preoperative and postoperative images. Hematoma and fibrosis after facial trauma improved after hyaluronidase injection for early treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of therapeutic ultrasound after muscle contusion injury by observed immunoreactivity of substance-P that plays an important role in pain transmission. Ultrasound irradiation(1MHz, 1W/$cm^{2}$ continuous mode, treatment time 5 min) was applied through water submersion technique to 1 limb daily by kept off 5cm from muscle belly of gastrocnemius. The result of this study were as follows. 1. The substance-P was expressed in lamina I and II of dorsal horn of spinal cord, also in lamina IV and around of central cannel of spinal cord. Experimental group was lower expressed than control group with the exception of 1 days. 2. The substance-P immunoreactivity was decreased for 5 days together in lumbar and sacral region of all groups, expecially experimental group was rapidly. These data suggest therapeutic ultrasound may stimulate pain relief by diminish of substance-P in dorsal horn of spinal cord.

A chinical analysis was performed on 383 ases of hest injurjes eperienced at Department of thoraci Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital during 21 year period From 1957 to 1977. Of 383 patients o hest injuries, 209 cases were result from nonpenetrating injuries whereas 175 were from penetrating injuries, and there were 258 cases of hemothorax or/and pneumothorax, 162 of rib fracture, 33 of foreign body, 26 of clavicle frcture, 26 of lung contusion, 17 of diaphragmati laceration, 14 of hemoperiardium, 14 of flail chest and others. Stab wound was the most common in penetrating injuries and followed by gunshot and shell fragments. The majority of nonpenetrating chest injury paiens were traffi accident vitims and falls accounted for the next largest group of accidents. Chest injuries were frequently encountered in the age group between 16 and 50 years, and 321 patients were male comparing to 62 of female. In blunt hest injuries the patients with five or more rib fractures had a 85 per ent incidence of intrathoracic injury and 19 per cent had an intraabdominal organ damage, whereas those with four or less rib fractures had a 69 per cent and a 6 per cent incidence respectively. The principal associated injuries were cerebral contusion on 19 cases, renal contusion on 10, liver laceration on 7, peripheral vessel laceration on 5, spleen laceration on 3 and extremity fracture on 18 patients. The principles of therapy for early complications of chest trauma were rapid reexpansion of the lungs by thoracentesis (46 cases) and closed thoracotomy (125 cases) but open thoracotomy had to be done on 90 cases (23.5%) because of massive bleeding or intrapleural hematoma, foreign body, cardiac injury, diaphragmatic laceration and bronhial rupture. The over all mortality was 2.87 per cent (11 among 383 cases), 8 cases were from penetrating injuries and 3 from nonpenetrating injuries.

Therapeutic angiogenesis is the controlled induction or stimulation of new blood vessel formation to reduce unfavourable tissue effects caused by local hypoxia and to enhance tissue repair. Therapeutic ultrasound can be considered as a physical agent to deliver therapeutic angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of therapeutic ultrasound after muscle contusion injury by observed immunoreactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) that plays an important role in angiogenesis and substance-P in pain transmission. Ultrasound irradiation(1MHz, $1W/cm^2$, continuous mode, treatment time 5 min) was applied through water submersion technique to 1 limb daily by kept off 5cm from muscle belly of gastrocnemius. The result of this study were as follows. 1. In morphological observation, there were no significant changes excepts of 7 days. At 7 days, granular tissue viewed abundantly in control group. In other groups, general feature were increased interspace of muscle fiber; centronucleated muscle fiber; collapsed of muscle and nerve tissue; appeared inflammatory cell. 2. The VEGF was expressed in interspace of muscle fiber. Especially, at 7 days in experimental group, VEGF was showed in connective tissue surrounding gastrocnemius muscle. 3. The VEGF was higher expressed in experimental group at 2 and 3 days, but in control group at 7 days. These data suggest therapeutic ultrasound enhanced production of VEGF in the early day relatively, therefore stimulated angiogenesis in the skeletal muscle induced contusion injury. Also therapeutic ultrasound may stimulate pain relief by diminish of substance-P in dorsal horn of spinal cord.

Purpose: Multiple rib fracture (MRF) and a hemopneumothorax accompany with most blunt chest traumas. We aimed to analyze the factors increasing the probability of a hemopneumothorax. In addition, other injuries accompanying MRF were analyzed. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 154 mutiple rib fracture patients who visited our hospital between January 2005 and December 2007. The medical records were reviewed for sex, age, mechanism of injury, location, number of fractures, distance of dislocated rib fragments, and presence of complications. We measured the distance of bony dislocations by using the PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). Results: The average number of rib fractures was $3.7{\pm}2.1$, and the number of rib fractures significantly influenced the incidence of a hemothorax (p<0.001). The risk of a hemothorax was increased in a bilateral MRF compared to a unilateral MRF (p=0.027). The distance of dislocated rib fragments influenced the probability of a hemothorax significantly (p=0.018), and subcutaneous emphysema and lung contusion were significantly associated with a pneumothorax (p=0.021, p=0.036). Conclusion: The number of MRFs did not influence the risk for a pneumothorax, but did influence the risk for a hemothorax. The laterality, distance of dislocation, also had an influence on the risk for a hemothorax. Also, subcutaneous emphysema and lung contusion were increased in cases with a pneumothorax. We must consider the possibility of a hemothorax even when the initial chest X-ray shows no evidence of a hemothorax. If a lung contusion is present, then an occult pneumothorax must be considered.

Objective : A study of the histopathologic and neurobehavioral correlates of cortical impact injury produced by increasing impact velocity using the controlled cortical impact[CCI] injury model is studied. Methods : Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats [$200{\sim}250g$] were given CCI injury using a pneumatically driven piston. Effect of impact velocity on a 3mm deformation was assessed at 2.5m/sec [n=6], 3.0m/sec [n=6], 3.5m/sec [n=6], and no injury [n=6]. After postoperative 24hours the rats were evaluated using several neurobehavioral tests including the rotarod test, beam-balance performance, and postural reflex test. Contusion volume and histopathologic findings were evaluated for each of the impact velocities. Results : On the rota rod test, all the injured rats exhibited a significant difference compared to the sham-operated rats and increased velocity correlated with increased deficit [p<0.001]. Contusion volume increased with increasing impact velocity. For the 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5m/sec groups, injured volumes were $18.8{\pm}2.3mm^3$, $26.8{\pm}3.1mm^3$, and $32.5{\pm}3.5mm^3$, respectively. In addition, neuronal loss in the hippocampal sub-region increased with increasing impact velocity. In the TUNEL staining, all the injured groups exhibited definitely positive cells at pericontusional area. However, there were no significant differences in the number of positive cells among the injured groups. Conclusion : Cortical impact velocity is a critical parameter in producing cortical contusion. Severity of cortical injury is proportional to increasing impact velocity of cortical injury.

실험적 뇌손상 전후에 쥐의 뇌대사물질 변화를 4.7 T 자기공명분광법을 이용하여 조사하여 보았다. 자기공명 스펙트럼는 비교대상 그룹으로서 정상 쥐 우측 두전엽 피질에서 획득되었다. 유체타진손상기법(Fluid Percussion Injury)을 사용하여 뇌손상을 유발시킨후 3일 후 스펙트럼이 얻어졌다. 뇌손상 쥐의 뇌대사불질들의 변화는 정상쥐의 뇌대사물질들과 비교되었다. Neuronal marker로써 NAA/Cr 비율은 대조군에서 1.13$\pm$0.12이었고 뇌좌상부위에서 0.90$\pm$0.11로 손상전과 비교하여 대조군에 비해 유의성있는 감소소견을 나타내었으며 이는 neuronal loss를 의미하는 것으로 추정된다(P=0.001). Cho/Cr 비율은 대조군에서 0.76$\pm$0.15이었고 뇌좌상부위에서 0.91$\pm$0.17로 손상전과 비교하여 대조군에 비해 유의성있게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 이는 생체막의 파괴나 염증반응과 관련된 것으로 추정된다(P=0.02). 하지만 Glx/Cr 비율은 손상전후에 유의성있는 변화를 나타내지 않았다. Lac/Cr 비율은 대조군에 비해 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고 이는 외상후 에너지 대사의 변위양상으로 고려되어진다. 이러한 소견들은 자기 공명분광법이 유체타진손상기법을 이용한 외상성 뇌좌상에서 신경병리학적 변화과정에 대한 이해를 증진시키고 나아가 외상에 의한 뇌좌상의 임상적인 평가를 위해 매우 유용한 modality임을 시사하는 것이라고 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구에서 몇몇의 케이스에서 voxel을 선정하면서 두개골의 일부가 포함되거나 혹은 죄상과 동반된 출혈로 인해 유용한 데이터를 획득하는데 어려움을 주기도 하였다. 앞으로 보다 더 세밀한 분석과 연구를 위해 유체타진 손상의 다양한 정도에서 대사물질들의 변화양상을 평가할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다. .
