Porous spheres composed of natural waxes and inorganic materials containing vitamin E acetate as a drug were prepared by impregnation method. Furthermore, the amount of vitamin E acetate entrapped in the spheres and the release rate of vitamin E acetate from the spheres were studied. The impregnation of vitamin E acetate was carried out by dipping the spheres in vitamin E acetate solutions. Entrapment mechanism of vitamin E acetate could be expressed in terms of Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The amount of vitamin E acetate entrapped in porous spheres was influenced by the structure and concentration of the polymer used in vitamin E acetate solutions, and the concentration of vitamin E acetate. Release characteristics of vitamin E acetate from the spheres were investigated by withdrawing samples periodically and analyzing them by spectrophotomer.

There are various origins for chronic abdominal pain. About 10-30% of patients with chronic abdominal pain have abdominal wall pain. Unfortunately, abdominal wall pain is not thought to be the first origin of chronic abdominal pain; therefore, patients usually undergo extensive examinations, including diagnostic laparoscopic surgery. Entrapment of abdominal cutaneous nerves at the muscular foramen of the rectus abdominis is a rare cause of abdominal wall pain. If abdominal wall pain is considered in earlier stage of chronic abdominal pain, unnecessary invasive procedures are not required and patients will reach symptom free condition as soon as the diagnosis is made. Here, we report a case of successful treatment of a patient with abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome by ultrasound guided injection therapy.

Four patients underwent lumbar surgery. In all four patients, the dura was minimally torn during the operation. However, none exhibited signs of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In each case, a few days after the operation, the patient suddenly experienced severe recurring pain in the leg. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging showed transdural nerve rootlets entrapped in the intervertebral disc space. On exploration, ventral dural tears and transdural nerve rootlet entrapment were confirmed. Midline durotomy, herniated rootlet repositioning, and ventral dural tear repair were performed, and patients' symptoms improved after rootlet repositioning. Even with minimal dural tearing, nerve rootlets may become entrapped, resulting in severe recurring symptoms. Therefore, the dural tear must be identified and repaired during the first operation.

We experienced a case of an athlete with a painful mass on the distal peroneal musculature after sports activity, and diagnosed as the entrapment syndrome of superficial peroneal nerve. We treated the case with the mini-open and subcutaneous fasciotomy to release the entrapped peroneal nerve. We report the case with a review of the literature.

소아에서 발생하는 슬와 낭종은 증상이 없는 경우가 대부분이며 합병증을 유발하는 경우도 찾아보기 어렵다. 저자는 관절 내 병변이 동반되지 않은 슬와 낭종을 가진 한 명의 소아에서 경골 신경과 슬와 동맥 압박이 관찰되어 조기 감압술과 증식치료를 이용하여 치료하였고, 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

생물흡착제는 그 자체만으로 실제폐수처리에 적용하기에는 충분하지 못한 구조를 가지고 있기 때문에 고정화는 매우 중요하다. 그래서 최근의 연구는 생물흡착제를 효과적으로 고정화시키는 방법에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 미생물이나 다당류와 같은 생물흡착제의 기계적 강도를 향상시키기 위하여 지금까지 많은 고정화 방법이 제안되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 고정화 방법들(adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, encapsulation, and crosslinking)을 소개하고자 한다.

This review aims to analyze the efficacy of acupotomy in treating superior cluneal nerve entrapment syndrome (SCNES) by summarizing the findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The RCTs were retrieved from seven databases (i.e., the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Korean Studies Information Service System, Research Information Service System, and Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System). Seven RCTs were selected for this review. The results indicate that acupotomy is promising for providing significant pain relief and improving function in patients with SCNES. However, more high-quality RCTs are required to establish the long-term effectiveness and safety of acupotomy. This review provides valuable insights for clinicians and researchers in the management of SCNES.

목적 : 결절종에의해발생한견갑상 신경포착증후군환자에서수술적치료후결과를분석하고치료방법의개선을찾고자하였다. 대상및방법 : 1996년3월부터2001년5월까지진찰소견, 근전도, 자기공명영상소견에서결절종에의한견갑상신경포착증후군으로진단받은 13명의환자를대상으로하였다. 수술은결절종의개방적절제및감압술과관절경하검사를시행하였으며수술후의평가는근력의주관적인회복정도와American shoulder elbow surgeon (ASES)의평가법을이용하여분석하였다. 결과 : 수술후9예(69$\%$)에서간헐적인동통, 근력의불완전회복, 근위축의잔류로인한증상의지속소견이관찰되었으며4예(31$\%$)에서증상의완전회복소견을보였다. 수술후ASES 점수는평균86.4(70$\~$99.8)점이었으며수술전에비해수술후84$\%$의환자에서동통의호전과53$\%$의환자에서근력의호전을보였으나근위축은남아있었다. 결론 : 결절종에의한견갑상신경포착증후군은결절종의절제만으로는증상의완전한해소를기대하기어려우며, 수술시결절종에의한주병변이외에포착이다발성으로발생할가능성이있으므로결절종의제거및관절내병변의치료와함께견갑상절흔과견갑하절흔부위에서의신경에대한감압술을함께고려하는것이좋을것으로생각한다.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or one of its branches within the tarsal tunnel, and is often caused by ganglia, lipoma, accessory muscles, varicosities, neural tumours, trauma and systemic diseases. We have successfully treated a patient with tarsal tunnel syndrome which was associated with os sustentaculi.
