Muscle contusion usually results from a direct blunt impact and is frequently associated with contact sports. Muscle contusion results from microscopic muscle fiber and capillary disruption causing a microhemorrhage dissecting torn fibers and remaining viable muscle fibers. Recent studies concluded that some physical methods, including pulsed ultrasound (PU) and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment, accelerate and facilitate wound healing, improve scar quality and have beneficial effects on muscle and tendon healing. However, there are few studies on the effects of the early use of physical methods, such as PU and PEMF, on the expression of neurotrophic factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the early application of PU and PEMF, measured through the expression of BDNF in the muscles (gastrocnemius) and spinal cords of rats after skeletal muscle contusion. In the spinal cords and muscles, there was a significant increase of BDNF expression in the PEMF and PU groups, a greater increase was found in the PEMF group than in the PU group. In conclusion, PEMF is a useful therapeutic method that improves muscle healing after muscle contusion.

A 10-year-old castrated male Shih Tzu dog was submitted to a local animal hospital with a mass from gingiva to maxillofacial skeleton. Computed tomography revealed that strong invasion of the mass result in osteolysis in orbit and frontal bone. The excised mass was presented to the Pathology Department of the Veterinary Medicine, Jeju National University. Surgically excised mass was rubbery to firm in consistency. Histologically, the neoplastic mass was composed of irregular or interdigitating cords, islands or pseudo-glandular structures of stratified epithelial cells. These cords or islands showed typical palisading pattern of neoplastic epithelial cells to periphery without intercellular bridge (desmosome) and surrounded by eosinophilic immature collagenous matrix. Some area showed islands of well differentiated keratinizing squamous cell foci. Some lumen of glandular structures contained fibrin-like materials and RBC. These neoplastic cells showed marked invasive tendency to adjacent connective tissues and bony tissues, therefore solitary neoplastic cells were widely distributed throughout the surround connective tissue. The neoplastic cells showed positive reactions for pan-CK and CK14, weakly positive reaction for CK5/6. And the surrounding immature collagenous matrix was only labeled for vimentin.

Human vocal cords vibrate as quickly as 100-250 times per second, so it is impossible to observe them with normal endoscopic diagnostic equipment. High-speed videolaryngoscopy (HSV) allows the visualization of non-periodic vibratory motion of vocal fold beyond the limitation of videostroboscopy. New developed post-processing methods that converts HSV to two-dimensional videokymography (2D VKG) using U-medical image-processing software can provide quantitative information on vocal fold mucosa vibration. Multifunctional laryngeal examination system is composed of 3 kinds of examinations such as HSV, 2D scanning digital kymography (2D DKG) and line scanning digital kymography (DKG). Evaluation of entire vocal cord vibratory pattern in each cord is possible using 2D DKG and a faster and more reliable quantitative information can be obtained. As this system is used in clinical and research, it is expected to bring much advances to the diagnosis of voice disorders. In this review, I will introduce the principles and advantages on examination of the vocal fold vibration, which is in the spotlight recently, and proceed with the literature review.

Purpose: To propose a deep learning-based clinical decision support technique for laryngeal disease on epiglottis, tongue and vocal cords. Materials and Methods: A total of 873 laryngeal endoscopic images were acquired from the PACS database of Pusan N ational University Yangsan Hospital. and VGG16 model was applied with transfer learning and fine-tuning. Results: The values of precision, recall, accuracy and F1-score for test dataset were 0.94, 0.97, 0.95 and 0.95 for epiglottis images, 0.91, 1.00, 0.95 and 0.95 for tongue images, and 0.90, 0.64, 0.73 and 0.75 for vocal cord images, respectively. Conclusion: Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model have a potential as a tool for decision-supporting of otolaryngologist during manual inspection of laryngeal endoscopic images.

Endotracheal intubation is often necessary in the course of animal experiments, especially in craniofacial surgery. However, endotracheal intubation can be a major burden in this context. The authors performed simple and cost-saving method using a 200 µL yellow micropipette tip, and the success of this method was demonstrated by X-ray and autopsy. We used a total of 30 rats. After the rats were fixed with a plaster, the trachea and vocal cords were visualized with the tongue pulled back. Under direct visualization of the vocal cords, a curving micropipette tip was advanced into the trachea. This method can be learned quickly and applied successfully by general experimenters. We successfully intubated all 30 rats without any complications. The success rate of micropipette tip intubation was 100%. This procedure was performed by one experimenter within 2 to 3 minutes after induction of anesthesia. We demonstrated its superiority by X-ray and autopsy. Herein, we describe endotracheal intubation of rats using micropipette tips. To the best of our knowledge, this method is novel and represents the simplest and most efficient means of intubation in rats, providing an alternative to conventional endotracheal intubation.

징거미새우의 정소는 간췌장의 배면 측상부에서 심장사이에 위치하며, 한 쌍의 소엽으로 이루어져 있고 각 소엽의 선단은 서로 연결되어 있다. 그리고 각 소엽은 수많은 세정관이 결합조직으로 연결되어 있다. 각 세정관은 생식세포와 지주세포가 밀착되어 있는 생식세포대를 제외한 부분은 낮은 입방상피에 의해 내강이 형성되어 있고, 세정관의 제일 바깥은 단층편평상피로 둘러싸여 있다. 세정관 사이에는 결합조직 외에 Leydig cell-like cell도 관찰된다. 단층편평상피세포는 얇은 측면으로 연결되어 있고 종종 이웃한 세포와 포개져 있다. 지주세포는 생식세포에 비해 그 수가 현저히 적고, 대부분 생식세포대의 가장자리에 위치하고 있다. 지주세포의 세포질은 기저판과 접해 있어 기저면과 생식세포 사이는 지주세포의 원형질에 의해 분리되어 있다. 지주세포의 핵은 대부분 각져 있고, 크고 현저한 인이 핵의 중심부에 위치하고 있다. 낮은 입방상피세포는 세정관의 기저판과 접하고 있는 기저면과 일부는 생식세포대와 내강 사이에 위치하고 있다. 입방상피세포의 세포질에서는 횡 방향의 크리스테가 발달된 미토콘드리아, 층상구조의 조면소포체 그리고 Golgi 복합체들이 매우 발달되어 있다. 그리고 조면소포체와 Golgi 복합체의 볼록한 형성면 사이에는 전이소낭이, Golgi 복합체의 성숙면에서는 분비소낭이 관찰되며, 상피세포의 선단에 수많은 홈들이 존재하는 점으로 보아 exocytosis에 의해 내강으로의 물질 분비가 이루어지는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 전기기기 및 가전기기 등의 배선으로 사용되는 비닐코드의 구조 및 특성을 제시하고, 에너지원의 종류에 따라 소손된 비닐평형코드(VFF, $1.25mm^2$)의 실체 사진 및 용융된 도체의 금속 단면 구조를 분석하였다. 정상 VFF는 소선 여러 가닥을 꼬아서 제작되었으며, 도체의 표면은 적갈색이다. 또한 도체의 금속 조직 분석에서 그레인이 연신된 것을 알 수 있었다. 일반 화염에 의해 소손된 VFF의 표면은 절연물이 탄화되어 도체의 표면에 융착되었고, 윤기가 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 용융 부분의 단면 구조 분석에서 일정한 모양의 보이드가 형성되었고, 전선 고유의 연신 구조는 확인할 수 없었다. 통전중인 VFF에 외부 화염이 인가되어 소손된 용융 도체의 단면 분석에서 전선 고유의 연신 구조는 없었고, 불규칙적인 보이드 및 주상 조직 등이 성장한 것을 알 수 있었다. 과전류에 의해 소손된 VFF는 표면이 고르게 탄화되었으며, 용융된 도체의 단면 구조 분석에서 수지상 조직의 성장이 확인되었다. 단락에 의해 용융된 VFF의 특성 분석에서 표면의 일부가 오염되었지만 약간의 윤기가 있고, 용융되어 재결합한 부분이 둥근 모양을 나타냈다. 또한 금속 현미경을 이용한 단면 구조 분석에서 경계면 및 주상 조직 등이 확인되었고, 용융된 도체 이외의 부분에서는 정상 구리와 같은 비정질체인 구조가 확인되었다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect on the liver of guinea pig after administration of 4.5mCi per Kg. body wt. with iodine-131. The histological changes in the liver were degeneration of hepatic cells, congestion of sinusoids, dilatation of bile ducts, perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes, and dissociation of hepatic cords. A marked histological changes were produced after treatment for 14 days and the morphological recoveries were observed 28 days after the treatment.

In this paper, a technique to reduce the computational effort of Hough Transform used to recognize digital circles is proposed. The technique, which is a version of the Hough Transform uses bisectors of circles cords to estimate the center of circles. This system which is implemented in this paper gets center, radius, thickness of circular fiducials regardless of input form. This system uses fuzzy set theory which deals with 'ambigousness', In order to recognize imprecise circular fiducial.

Cases of syringomyelia associated with spinal dysraphism are distinct from those associated with hindbrain herniation or arachnoiditis in terms of the suspected pathogenetic mechanism. The symptoms of terminal syringomyelia are difficult to differentiate from the symptoms caused by spinal dysraphism. Nonetheless, syringomyelia has important clinical implications, as it is an important sign of cord tethering. The postoperative assessment of syringomyelia should be performed with caution.
