방사선치료후 발생할 수 있는 골 손상은 골반 부전골절, 방사선 골 괴사, 무혈성 괴사, 골 육종 등이다, 특히 최근 방사선치료후의 골탄성도의 변화로 발생하는 골반 부전골절에 관하여 많은 보고가 있었다. 과거 방사선치료 후의 골 손상 특히 골절의 빈도는 선형가속기를 이용한 메가볼트 방사선치료 바뀌면서 현저히 줄어 들어서 매우 낮은 것으로 보고 되었으나 최근에는 $8{\sim}20%$로 보고가 되고 있다. 따라서 골반 부전골절의 임상적 의미와 중요성과 예방 및 치료에 대하여 관심이 증가되고 있다. 저자는 자궁경부암 치료 후 관찰한 골반 부전골절, 골 괴사, 무혈성 괴사, 및 2차성 골육종등 골반골 변화와 손상에 관하여 저자의 경험과 문헌고찰을 통하여 보고 하고자 한다.

It is well known that the glucocorticoid induces osteoporosis by suppression of the osteoblast, but its effect on the osteoclast hRS some controversy whether it activates or suppresses the osteoclast. If the calcitonin, which is known to suppress the osteoclast, prevents the osteoporosis by glucocorticoid, then the suppression of the osteoclast by the glucocorticoid is not so significant. And if the calcitonin increases the osteoblastic activity, Tc-99m MDP uptake will be increased in spite of the glucocorticoid effect on the osteoblast. The immobilization operation was performed to the right leg of male Wistar rats weighing about 200gm. each. For 16 weeks after operation, rats were injected glucocorticoid alone or glucocorticoid anci calcitonin. The bone density was measured by means of photodensitometry under reference aluminum step wedge and Tc-99m MDP uptake was available to the index of the osteoblastic activity. 1. The bone density of femora! head was markedly reduced than that of femoral shaft following ration of cancellous and cortical components in both site. 2. Glucocorticoid caused decrease in bone density of spine and femur, md there is significantly increase of it when medication of glucocorticoid and calcitonin injection simultaneously than that of glucocorticoid. 3. Tc-99m MDP uptake was revealed significant reduction in medication of glucocorticoid but increase in gi;.:cocorticoid and calcitonin injection simultaneously in later experimental period. 4. There wail, a slight reduction in plasma osteocalcin in medication of glucocorticoid through experimental periods and an increase in its value in case of giving glucocorticoid and calcitonin simultaneously in later experimental period. From these results, we suggest that osteoporosis by immobilization is more pronounced by glucocorticoid hormone and osteoporosis induced by immobilization and glucocorticoid use is prevented by calcitonin administration with increasing osteoblastic activity.

Acute transient synovitis of the hip presents clinically pain and limping. But in the majority of the cases, definite positive findings are not manifest in roentgenogram in its early phase. However radionuclide bone imaging combines with the assessment of vascularization and bone tracer uptake is of great value in solving this diagnostic problem. The materials for this study consisted of 29 children with acute transient synovitis of the hip, characterized by symptoms and physical signs of an arthritis, negative X-ray findings and disappearance of all symptoms and signs within a short period of time. They were twenty males and 9 females and age ranged from 1 to 12 years. We took pelvic reontgenogram in AP and frog-leg views. After intravenous bolus injection of 10 to 15 mCi of $^{99m}Tc-methylene$ diphosphonate, 24 sequential image of the pelvis was taken at 2-second interval for blood flow study. The scintigrams were made using a gamma camera with high resolution parallel hole collimator. Blood pool imaging was obtained at 2 minutes after tracer administration. After 3 hours, static images were taken and then closeup image of the hip using pin-hole collimator was followed. The results were as follows: 1) Bone scintigram was much more sensitive than conventional roentgenogram in diagnosis of acute transient synovitis of the hip. 2) Three-phase imagings showed increased vascular activities in blood pool scintigrams in 96%. 3) Pin-hole imaging showed increased tracer uptake in the regional bones of the hip, par ticularly in the medial aspect of femoral head and acetabulum. 4) We confirmed that three-phase imaging reinforced with pin-hole technique were very useful in diagnose of acute transient synovitis of the hip.

We experienced satisfactory outcomes by synchronously transplanting an artery and vein using an anterolateral thigh flap pedicle between the vascular pedicle and recipient vessel of a flap for scalp reconstruction. A 45-year-old man developed a subdural hemorrhage due to a fall injury. In this patient, the right temporal cranium was missing and the patient had $4{\times}3cm$ and $6{\times}5cm$ scalp defects. We planned a scalp reconstruction using a latissimus dorsi free flap. Intraoperatively, there was a severe injury to the right superficial temporal vessel because of previous neurosurgical operations. A 15 cm long pedicle defect was needed to reach the recipient facial vessels. For the vascular graft, the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and two venae comitantes were harvested. The flap survived well and the skin graft was successful with no notable complications. When an interposition graft is needed in the reconstruction of the head and neck region for which mobility is mandatory to a greater extent, a sufficient length of graft from an anterolateral flap pedicle could easily be harvested. Thus, this could contribute to not only resolving the disadvantages of a venous graft but also to successfully performing a vascular anastomosis.

Fat embolism refers to the presence of fat droplets within the peripheral and lung microcirculation with or without clinical sequelae. However, early diagnosis of fat embolism is very difficult because the embolism usually does not show at the computed tomography as a large fat complex within vessels. Forty-eight-year-old male with pedestrian traffic accident ransferred from a local hospital by helicopter to the regional trauma center by two flight surgeons on board. At the rendezvous point, he had suffered with dyspnea without any airway obstruction sign with 90% of oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry with giving 15 L of oxygen by a reserve bag mask. The patient was intubated at the rendezvous point. The secondary survey of the patient revealed multiple pelvic bone fracture with sacrum fracture, right femur shaft fracture and right tibia head fracture. Abdominal computed tomography was performed in 191 minutes after the injury and fat embolism with Hounsfield unit of -86 in his right common iliac vein was identified. Here is a very rare case that mass of fat embolism was shown within common iliac vein detected in computed tomography. Early detection of the fat embolus and early stabilization of the fractures are essential to the prevention of sequelae such as cerebral fat embolism.

영상기술과 수술 술식의 발전으로 골반골의 악성종양에서 내 골반골 절제술이 보편화되었으나 절제 후 골 결손의 기능적인 재건 방법에 대하여는 아직 논란의 여지가 많다. 골반환 재건술식 중 열처리한 자가골과 대퇴골 전치환물을 조합하는 방법은 생역학적이며 해부학적인 적합성이 장점으로 적절한 증례를 선택하면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 이 술식 후 감염이나 기계적인 파괴가 발생 시 내고정물과 자가골 전부를 제거하는 것이 불가피하다. 이런 경우 가관절을 형성하더라도 심한 하지 단축이 문제가 된다. 저자들은 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 대퇴골두를 제거하지 않고 골반골만 열처리 후 재삽입 한 1례를 보고하고자 한다.

Plans converted using dose-volume-histogram-based plan conversion (DPC) were evaluated by comparing them to the original plans. Changes in the dose volumetric (DV) parameters of five volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for head and neck (HN) cancer and five VMAT plans for prostate cancer were analyzed. For the HN plans, the homogeneity indices (HIs) of the three planning target volumes (PTV) increased by 0.03, 0.02, and 0.03, respectively, after DPC. The maximum doses to the PTVs increased by 1.20, 1.87, and 0.92 Gy, respectively, after DPC. The maximum doses to the optic chiasm, optic nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, lenses, and parotid glands increased after DPC by approximately 4.39, 3.62, 7.55, 7.96, 1.77, and 6.40 Gy, respectively. For the prostate plans after DPC, the HIs for the primary and boost PTVs increased by 0.05 and 0.03, respectively, and the maximum doses to each PTV increased by 1.84 and 0.19 Gy, respectively. After DPC, the mean doses to the rectum and femoral heads increased by approximately 6.19 and 2.79 Gy, respectively, and those to the bladder decreased by 0.20 Gy when summing the primary and boost plans. Because clinically unacceptable changes were sometimes observed after DPC, plans converted by DPC should be carefully reviewed before actual patient treatment.

최근 영유아 성장기에 발생하는 고관절 이형성증(Developmental Dysplasia of Hip, DDH)의 숫자가 늘어나고 있다. DDH는 영유아 성장을 방해하고 다른 부작용도 많이 발생시키기 때문에 최대한 조기에 발견하여 치료해야 한다. 최근 들어 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) 및 개선된 Resnet50을 활용한 머신러닝 기법이 초음파 영상 분석에 많이 활용되고 있다. 연구 결과를 보면 컴퓨터 보조 이미지 분석이 의료현장에서 객관성과 생산성을 크게 향상시키고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 정형외과에서의 난제인 초음파 영상을 통한 DDH 컴퓨터 보조 진단 알고리즘에도 충분히 활용될 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CNN을 활용하여 DDH를 자동으로 측정하고 진단할 수 있는 컴퓨터 보조 진단 알고리즘을 제안하였다. DDH 측정을 위해 유아 고관절의 정상/비정상 판독을 위해 Acetabulum-Femoral head의 angle을 자동으로 계산하였으며 기존 영상을 딥 러닝하여 진단을 자동으로 하는 알고리즘을 설계하였다. 실험 결과 의사와 비교하여 진단의 속도와 정확도가 향상된다는 것을 확인하였다.
