목 적: 전립선암 환자를 대상으로 kV 콘빔CT를 이용한 영상유도방사선치료 시 촬영조건에 따른 인체의 각 장기들에 미치는 흡수선량(absorbed dose)과 유효선량(effective dose)을 비교 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 환자를 대상으로 직접 실험할 수 없으므로 인체의 구성과 조직이 흡사한 인체 모형 팬텀(Anderson rando Phantom, Alderson Research Laboratories Inc., USA)과 전산화 단층 모의치료기(Lightspeed RT CT, GE, USA)를 이용하여 국제 방사선 방호 위원회(International Commission on Radiological Protection, ICRP)에서 권고된 신체 내 중요 장기들을 묘사하였다. 팬텀 내부의 묘사된 주요 장기에 선량 측정을 위하여 열형광선량계(TLD 100 Lif rods, Harshaw Chemical Co., USA)를 1~8개 삽입한 후 팬텀의 중심을 전립선에 위치시키고, On board imager (OBI) System이 부착된 의료용 선형 가속기(Clinac iX, Varian, USA)를 이용하여 두 가지 촬영모드인 표준모드(Standard-mode, A-mode)와 저선량모드(Low-dose mode, B-mode)에서 kV 콘빔 CT 촬영을 각 3회씩 반복해서 측정하였다. 결 과: 인체 모형 팬텀을 이용하여 전립선암 환자를 대상으로 한 kV 콘빔 CT 촬영을 시행한 결과 전립선, 방광, 직장에 대한 흡수선량은 A-mode인 경우 각각 5.5 cGy/1회, 6.5 cGy/1회, 5.7 cGy/1회, B-mode인 경우 1.1 cGy/1회, 1.3 cGy/1회, 1.2 cGy/1회 결과를 보였다. 각 장기에 대한 조직가중치를 고려한 유효선량은 A-mode와 B-mode에서 19.1 mSv, 4.4 mSv의 결과로 나타났다. kV 콘빔CT 촬영 시 인체에 미치는 유효선량을 측정한 결과, 전립선암 영상유도방사선치료 시 A-mode 콘빔CT는 B-mode 콘빔CT보다 환자가 받는 선량이 약 4배 이상 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론: 그러므로 전립선암 영상유도방사선치료 시 환자가 받는 치료 이외의 선량을 고려했을 때 가능한 B-mode 또는 낮은 촬영 조건을 설정하여 환자가 받는 치료이외선량을 가능한 한 줄일 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

최근 늘어나고 있는 스트레스로 인한 피로와 심리적 장애로 인해 현대인들은 고통 받고 있다. 다수의 사람들이 고통을 완화시키기 위해 약물치료에 의존하고 있는 추세이며 대체의학이나 대체요법으로 치료하는 사람들도 많이 있다. 그러나 약물치료는 약물 복용 후 더 많은 스트레스를 겪는 등 여러 가지 부작용을 가지고 있다. 이에 비해 대체요법의 테라피분야, 마사지, 발반사요법 등은 비 약물치료로써 인체에 부담이 덜하며 편안한 심신을 유지하며 치료받을 수 있는 부분이다. 이에 본 저자는 컬러테라피요법과 발반사요법의 장점을 종합하여 고통이 없이 간단한 방법으로 치료효과를 볼 수 있는 컬러 발반사요법(color foot reflexology)을 전 연구에서 공동개발한 바 있다. 이를 본 논문에서는 자극시 효과에 플라시보 효과를 대조군으로 비교하여 인체생리신호측정반응을 평가하여 발 컬러 반사요법이 인체생리반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 정량적으로 연구하였다. 최적화된 실험환경과 객관화된 시스템에서 건강한 성인군을 대상으로 실험하였다. 그 결과 자극을 주었을 때는 HRV에서 부교감신경의 증가세가 나타났으며 혈압, 맥박, 체온 말초혈류량이 활발하게 작용하는 변화를 보였다. 그러나 플라시보에서는 거의 변화가 없거나 뷸규칙적인 결과가 나타났다. 이결과는 컬러 발반사요법이 자율신경계와 인체생리적반응에 긍정적인 영향에 관계됨을 알 수 있으며 이는 개발 기기의 유효성을 증명하는데 좋은 자료로써 충분한 근거이다. 그리고 이의 연구결과를 바탕으로 향 후 발과 관련하여 불규칙적인 생리현상에 의한 질병이나 질환에 관하여 특정군을 대상으로 실험 연구하여 객관적인 실험검증을 할 계획이다.

An ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to stop the disease process and to regenerate a functionally-oriented periodontium destroyed as a result of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of grafting granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket on the regeneration of horizontal furcation defect. Six dogs were used in this study. All mandibular first and third premolars were extracted. At 2, 3, and 5 days after extraction, tissues were obtained from extraction socket of 1 mongrel dog and examined by light microscope. Granulation tissue obtained at 5 days after extraction was chosen as the graft material. Five days later, horizontal furcation defects were created surgically at mandibular second and fourth premolars in the right and left side of the 5 beagle dogs. The entrance area of the artificially prepared "key hole" defects were about $3\;4mm^2$. By random selections, 2 exposed furcation defects were grafted with granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket as experimental group and 1 furcation defect was as control. The flaps were replaced to their original position and sutured with 4-0 chromic cat-gut. Three dogs were sacrificed 4 weeks and two dogs 8 weeks after surgery, and the prepared specimens were examined by light microscope. At 4 weeks, furcations were filled with epithelial lining and fibrous connective tissue infiltrated with chronic inflammatory cells. New bone formation was observed in all groups. Only experimental group showed new cementum formation. At 8 weeks, new cementum, functional arrangement of new PDL fiber, root resorption, and some ankylotic union of newly formed alveolar bone and root surface were observed in all groups. Experimental group showed that epithelial downgrowth was inhibited and new bone formation was more active compared to control. The success rate of the furcation defect healing was higher in experimental group than control. These results suggested that grafting of granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket which combined with reconstructive periodontal flap surgery may promote periodontal regeneration of horizontal furcation defect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of irradiation on the striated duct cells of the rat submandibular gland ductal tissues which control the characteristics of saliva. For this study, the experimental group was composed of 36 irradiated Sprague Dawley strain rats divided into 8 subgroups 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours after irradiation. 4 non-irradiated rats were used as the control group. The experimental animals were singly irradiated with a dose of 18Gy gamma ray to their head and neck region by the Co-6- teletherapy unit and sacrificed after each experimental duration. The specimens were examined with a light microscope with an H-E stain and with a trans- mission electron microscope. The results of this study were as follows. In the light micrograph, a severe atrophic change occurred in the striated duct cells at 2hours after irradiation and gradual recovery occurred from 6 hours after irradiation. 2. The nuclear chromosomes of the striated duct cells were changed granular at 2 hours after irradiation. Recovery was observed at 6 hours after irradiation. Nuclear bodies were also observed from 3 hours after irradiation. 3. The mitochondria of the striated duct cells had indistinct cristae at 2 hours after irradiation, and were degenerated or swollen at 3 hours after irradiation. They recovered, however, from 6 hours, with an increasing number at 48 hours and a regular arrangement was observed at 72 hours after irradiation. 4. The microvilli showed atrophic changes at 2 hours after irradiation and were almost lost at 3 hours after irradiation. They were observed again from 48 hours after irradiation. 5. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and golgi body were not apparent at 1 hour after irradiation and were dilated with degeneration 2 hours after, but intact rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed from 3 hours after irradiation and developed well at 24 hours after irradiation. By the result of this study, showing a mild change in the functional morphology of the salivary striated duct cells immediately following irradiation, it is considered that the many complications which occur after radiation therapy, will disappear in time with the histological and the functional recovery of the glandular tissues.

The severe atrophic edentulism with poor neuromuscular control militates against successful conventional denture therapy. To such situation, a prescribing of dental implant treatment has been considered with some probability. Implant materials used as a trial for dental implants includes metals, plastic polymers and ceramics. The purpose of this study was to observe histologic response in osseointegration process at titanium implant-tissue interface based on biocompatibility at specific period of sequential natures which were divided into a half month, one, month, two months, three months and immediate as a base line. In this study, unilateral lower left premolar and molar teeth were extraced in three dogs. After allowing to heal for 6 months, three kinds of osseointegrated implant, $Br{\aa}nemark$, Corevent and kimplant(a prototype of SNU implant study)were inserted in each dog respectively according to the above sequence from front to back. The specimens were taken from those dogs at the same time since implant were inserted quite reverse order of the specified periods, and decalcified and processed for histologic examination for the light microscopy and the electron microscopy. The microscopic histologic findings at the interface between titanium implants and tissue were interpretated as follows : A. Light microscopic findings : a. Immediate : Implant were surrounded by compact bone and spongy bone. Microcrak was observed in the superficial bone tissue. Osteocytes were disappeared and bone lacunae were observed as a vacant space in some parts. In the contacting with the spongy bone, bone trabeculae and bone marrow were in contact with the implant. b. A half Month : Osteoblasts exist as a monolayer in th inner bone trabeculae and do bone additiocn. Osteoblasts&inflammatory cells were observed in some parts. c. One Month : The presence of osteoclasts decreased. Osteoblasts did active bone fromation, and bone marrow was in contact with the implant in the many places. d. Two Months : Bone formation was advanced in comparison with the b and c. The presence of osteoclsts was not observed. e. Three Months : The superficial bone tissue contacted with the implants was entirely composed by the compact bone. B. Electron microscopic findings : a. A half month and one month group : In the parts of the active bone formation, osteoblasts with the well developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were arranged in the monolayer. In the parts of the bone resorption, ruffled border was well developed and many osteoclasts with the well-developed golgi apparatus, mitochondria, vacuole, vesicle and lysosome were existed. b. Three months group : No osteoblasts were observed in the superficial bone tissue. Bone matrix with collaen fiber was observed. c. No significant dirrerence in the histologic findings was observed in $Br{\aa}nemark$, Core-vent and kimplant.

본 실험은 화상을 입은 생쥐에서 SQ의 치유 효과를 알아보기 위함에 있다. 실험군은 7개군으로 구분하였다; 대조군, 화상군, 그리고 화상을 입헌 후 SQ를 처치한 군. 대조군을 제외한 모든 군은 등 부위에 2도 화상을 입혔다. SQ를 처치한 모든 군은 하루에 한 번씩 10초 간격으로 순수한 SQ 3방울을 도포하였다. 화상 후 10일 동안 조직학적 및 미세구조적 변화를 광학 현미경과 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 광학현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 화상군의 표피층의 모든 부분은 SQ를 처치한 군보다 더 심한 상처를 입었다. SQ를 처치한 6째와 10일째 군에서, 기저층은 분화가 활발하였고, 가시층의 각화세포는 수적으로 매우 증가하였다. 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, SQ를 처치한 모든 군의 기저층에서 세포분열이 화상군에서보다 더 활발하게 나타났다. 특히, SQ를 처치한 10일군에서는 이상적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다; 대조군보다 더 두꺼운 가시층과 많은 각화세포, 뚜렷한 세포간교, 그리고 멜라닌세포를 포함하는 튼튼한 기저층. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 SQ은 표피성장인자(EGF)를 활성화시키고, 유해산소의 제거 역할을 하며, 막계에 에너지원을 제공할 가능성이 있다. 이 실험의 결과는 SQ가 화상 치료에 특수한 효과가 있다고 사료된다.

사람의 인지기능 중 주의력은 감각기관을 통해 방대한 자극 중 필요한 자극에만 의식을 집중하는 과정이다. 주의력은 실내 온도 등 노출 환경에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 스포츠 분야에서는 냉각 팩 등을 사용한 직접 전도 방식의 냉각이 광범위하게 사용되어 효과를 보고 있으나 전도에 의한 냉각이 주의력과 같은 인지 활동에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 알려진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 경추부 후면 부위에 특수 제작된 냉각 패드를 적용할 때 주의력에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 수행되었다. 40명의 피검사자를 네 집단으로 나누고 독서 및 산책 중 냉각 패드의 적용에 따라 주의력이 차이를 보이는지 살펴보았다. 주의력은 FAIR 주의력 검사를 통해 평가되었으며, 선택적 주의력을 의미하는 능력지수, 주의력의 정확도를 나타내는 통제지수, 균일한 주의력의 유지 기간을 나타내는 지속성지수에 대한 분산분석과 사후분석을 실시하였다. 결과적으로, 독서 및 학습 등 시각적 주의력이 지속적으로 요구되는 경우 냉각 패드의 적용을 통한 전도 냉각이 선택적 주의력을 확대시키고 균일한 주의력을 유지하는데 도움이 된다. 또한, 선택적 주의력의 향상과 균일한 주의력의 유지를 위해 가벼운 신체 활동이 도움이 된다. 다만 이 경우 전체 독서 시간의 감소를 전제로 하여야 한다.

Scuticociliatosis caused by Miamiensis avidus is a very important parasitic disease in olive flounder farming industry. The aim of this study was to determine effect of combined treatment with blue LED (light-emitting diode) illumination and formalin on olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) infected with M. avidus. Different intensity of 405 nm LED (20, 40, and 60 μmol·m^-2·s^-1) was illuminated on 2.2×10⁴ cells/well of M. avidus in a 24 well microplate for 24 h. Also, 2.4×10⁴ cells/well of M. avidus were exposed to varying combinations of 60 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 of 405 nm LED and serial 10-fold dilutions of formalin (from 10 to 100 ppm) for 15, 30, 45, and 60 min. Surviving M. avidus were counted using a hemocytometer. For in vivo test, flounder acclimatized at 11-12 practical salinity unit (psu) were challenged with 2×10⁶ cells/ml of M. avidus by immersion method for 1 h. Then, fish were moved and divided into four groups; "F" group, treated with formalin at 50 ppm; "L" group, treated with 60 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 of 405 nm LED; "C" group, treated with combination of the two methods; and the control group. After treatment for 30 min, fish were transferred to new tanks (salinity = 11-12 psu) and observed for 3 weeks. As a result, illumination of 405 nm LED at 60 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 killed 100% of M. avidus after 12 h, while 67% and 90% of the scuticociliate died at 20 and 40 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, respectively, after 24 h exposure. One hundred percent of M. avidus was killed at 90, 80, 80 and 70 ppm after exposure to formalin for 15, 30, 45 and 60 min, respectively. However, combined method (e.g., 60 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 of 405 nm-LED plus 50 ppm formalin) killed the parasite within 30 min. From in vivo test, similarly, survival rates of fish challenged with M. avidus were 100%, 43%, 29% and 0% in the C, F, L, and control groups, respectively. Results obtained in this study demonstrates that the combined treatment method has clear synergistic effect on scuticociliatosis in fish.

Purpose: This study investigated the adjunctive effect of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the treatment of experimental periodontitis. Methods: Experimental periodontitis was induced by placing ligatures around the mandibular second, third, and fourth premolars of 6 beagles for 3 months. After ligature removal, periodontitis progressed spontaneously for 2 months. The animals' hemimandibles were allocated among the following 3 groups: 1) no treatment (control), 2) scaling and root planing (SRP), and 3) SRP with LED irradiation at 470-nm and 630-nm wavelengths (SRP/LED). The probing pocket depth (PPD) and gingival recession (GR) were measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. The clinical attachment level (CAL) was calculated. After 12 weeks, histological and histomorphometric assessments were performed. The distances from the gingival margin to the apical extent of the junctional epithelium (E) and to the connective tissue (CT) attachment were measured, as was the total length of soft tissue (ST). Results: PPD and CAL increased at 12 weeks compared with baseline in the control group (6.31±0.43 mm to 6.93±0.50 mm, and 6.46±0.60 mm to 7.61±0.78 mm, respectively). PPD and CAL decreased at 12 weeks compared with baseline in the SRP group (6.01±0.59 to 4.81±0.65 mm, and 6.51±0.98 to 5.39±0.93 mm, respectively). PPD and CAL decreased at 12 weeks compared with baseline in the SRP/LED group (6.03±0.39 to 4.46±0.47 mm, and 6.11±0.47 to 4.78±0.57 mm, respectively). The E/ST and CT/ST ratios significantly differed among the 3 groups (P<0.05). The clinical parameters and histologic findings demonstrated that 470-nm and 630-nm wavelength LED irradiation accompanying SRP could improve treatment results. Conclusions: Within the study limitations, 470 nm and 630 nm wavelength LED irradiation might provide additional benefits for periodontitis treatment.
