연구배경 : 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사는 그 병기에 따라 단순 X선과 뼈스캔, MRI상에서 다양하게 보이며 초기에는 X선과 뼈스캔상에서 발견할 수 없는 경우가 흔히 있다. 뼈스캔의 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사는 그 병기에 따라 다른 형태로 보일 수 있으며 진행된 병변에서는 다른 관절질환과 감별하기 어려울때가 많다. 이에 저자들은 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사의 병기에 따른 뼈스캔의 유형을 분류하고 다양하게 보일 수 있는 원인을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 대상환자는 고관절통과 보행장애를 주소로 내원한 90명의 179개의 대퇴골두를 대상으로 하였고 이들 환자에서 단순 X선과 뼈스캔, MRI가 모두 시행되었으며 후향적 조사에 의하여 비교하였다. 결과: 1) 179개의 대퇴골두 중 156개의 골두는 무혈성괴사를 가지고 있었다. 36개의 대퇴골두는 MRI상 조기 병변이었고 120개는 진행병변이었다. 90명의 환자에서 22명이 한쪽의 병변을 가지고 있었으며 68명이 양측성의 병변을 가지고 있었다. 2) 단순 X선과 뼈스캔의 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사의 진단율은 MRI를 기준으로 하였을 때 각각 85%, 91.6%였다(Table 1). 3) 9개의 대퇴골두가 뼈스캔상에서 초기의 무혈성 괴사소견(1, 2형)을 보였으나 단순 X선상에서 정상이었다. 이외의 병변들에서는 뼈스캔과 단순 X선의 병기 사이에는 비교적 일치하는 소견을 보였다(Fig. 2). 4) 뼈스캔에는 정상이었으나 13개의 대퇴골두가 MRI상에서는 조기 병변을 보였고, MRI에서 조기병변을 보이는 경우는 뼈스캔상에서 대개 1이나 2의 유형을 보였고 진행병변은 뼈스캔상에서 2, 3, 4형에 해당하였다(Table 2). 5) 뼈스캔상에서 정상소견을 보였으나 MRI에서 무혈성괴사 소견을 보였던 병변은 그 병변의 크기가 1/4에서 1/5정도로 작은 병변이며, 이 작은 병변이 대개는 대퇴골두의 전상방에 위치하며, MRI상의 저신호 강도 띠와 함께 지방골수 신호강도변화를 보였다(Table 3). 6) 뼈스캔상에서 비전형적인 유형을 보인 대퇴골두 무혈성 괴사병변의 단순 X선 소견은 대개가 단순 X선 병기 4와 5에 해당하였고, MRI에서 병변의 크기가 1/2이상의 큰 병변 이었으며 많은 관절삼출액, 심한 관절강 연조직 및 관절막 비후 또는 이차성 골관절염등을 동반하고 있었다(Table 2). 결론 : 결론적으로 뼈스캔은 초기 대퇴골두 무혈성괴사는 단순 X선 보다는 높고, MRI보다는 낮은 진단율을 보였다. 그 원인으로는 초기 병소의 크기와 위치에 따라 다를 것으로 추정된다. 진행성 병변은 MRI상에서 주위의 충혈 정도, 관절삼출액의 정도, 주위의 퇴행성 변화 또는 관절내 연조직 비후의 정도에 따라 다양하게 보이는 것으로 생각된다.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNA) for diagnosis of a variety of breast tumors has been proven to be a simple, safe, and cost saving diagnostic methodology with high accuracy. Cytologic specimens from 1,029 fine needle aspirations of the breast during last 3-year period were reviewed and subsequent biopsies from 107 breast lesions were reevaluated for cytohistological correlation. FNA had a sensitivity of 81.6% and a specificity of 98.3%. One oui of 107 cases biopsied revealed a false positive result (0.9%) and the case was due to misinterpretation of apocrine metaplastic cells in necrotic backgound as malignant cells. A false negative rate was 8.4% (9 of 107 cases biopsied). Six of 9 false negative cases were resulted from insufficient aspirates for diagnosis, and remaining three of 9 false negative cases revealed extensive necrosis with no or scanty viable cells on smears. The results indicate that for reducing false positive and false negative rates of FNA, an experienced cytopathologist and a proficient aspirator are of great importance.

The oral lesion of acquired syphilis - primary, secondary, and tertiary - is comparatively rare. Most of the time secondary syphilis manifests itself as a systemic disease with maculopapular eruptions of the skin, generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, and occasional eruptions on the mucous membranes. The lesions of the tertiary stage may occur anywhere in the body, including the oral cavity. Necrotizing faciitis of the head and neck is an uncommon, rapidly spreading soft tissue infection of polymicrobial origin characterized by extensive necrosis and gas formation in the subcutaneous tissue and superficial fascia. This is characterized by its fulminating, devastating, and rapid-progressing course. The mortality rate is high if it is not treated promptly and vigorously. Patients with an impaired immune system and those with small-vessel disease such as diabetes mellitus are more prone to develop this infection.

The reconstruction of deep soft tissue defects of lower extremities combined with bone exposure has been difficult problems. When it is impossible to raise local skin flap, we have been usually used the gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flap, cross leg flap or free flaps. However, In musculocutaneous flap, aesthetical appearance of the calf is not appropriate because of too bulky flap. Although the success rate of the free flap has improved, still failure of flap occurs in cases of the chronic ischemic state. As the concepts of perforator flap has recently developed and widely used due to its thin flap thickness. Between January 2002 to December 2004, we treated 7 patients with soft tissue defect in leg with chronic ischemic limbs with perforator island flap. Preoperative angiography were done in all case and we used 2 medial sural perforator flaps, 1 anterior tibial artery perforator flap, 1 posterior tibial artery perforator flap, 3 anterolateral thigh perforator flap. Partial necrosis of flap was seen in one patient but no further surgical procedure was required for wound healed spontaneously. Perforator island flaps are thin, reduce donor site morbidity, conceal donor site with primary closure and it is useful for resurfacing soft tissue defect of lower extremities.

Semi-solid poly(ortho esters) (POE) were prepared to provide bioerodible carriers for sustained drug delivery systems of nifedipine in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. As the POE has viscous behavior at room temperature, a significant advantage of this polymer is that it can be injected without any surgical intervention. The POE was synthesized by a transesterification reaction between 1,2,6-hexanetriol and trimethyl orthoacetate and the nifedipine release from POE was studied in vitro. The release rate of nifedipine decreased with increasing the amount of nifedipine and the diethanolamine dispersed in the polymer. But the excess amounts, above 3%, of diethanolamine retarded the release of nifedipine. In vivo biocompatibility studies were carried out in rats with nifedipine loaded POE. Histopathological analysis showed that nifedipine loaded POE implants were well-tolerated by rats when used subcutaneously. In case of the rats implanted POE containing diethanolamine, tissue necrosis and inflammation were occured. Pharmacokinetic studies of nifedipine loaded POE implants were carried out in rabbits. In all cases, plasma concentrations of nifedipine were maintained over 15 ng/ml for at least 360 hours and biological half $life(t_{1/2})$ and mean residence time(MRT) were increased by addition of diethanolamine.

Purpose : This study was aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of Leonurus sibiricus on the proliferation of human uterine leiomyoma cells and the expression of gene related the mechanism of cell apoptosis. Methods : We counted the number of death cells treated with indicated concentration of Leonurus sibiricus and investigated cell death rate by MTS assay. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis and DNA fragmentation assay were used to dissect between necrosis and apoptosis and then we observed the differential gene expression by western blot analysis. Results : Leonurus sibiricus significantly inhibited the proliferation of uterine leiomyoma cell in a dose-dependent and time dependent manner. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis indicated that Leonurus sibiricus induced G1 cell cycle arrest. Leonurus sibiricus enhanced the expression of p27 and p53 with cell cycle arrest. Conclusion : These findings suggest that Leonurus sibiricus is a candidate agent for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma. p27, $p53^{1}$ may play an important role in Leonurus sibiricus-induced cell cycle arrest and cell growth inhibition.

The livers of 300 cases of Korean native cattle which were collected at slaughted house in Pusan were examined by gross and histopathological means to study patterns of pathological changes of the organ. 1. The most dominated lesion of the liver was those of fascioliasis showing incidence rate as 907 per cent of inspected cattle. 2. On age distribution of the fascioliasis lesion in the liver, higher incidence was seen in animals that were from 6 to 9 years of age. 3. Significant changes of the hepaticparenchyma caused by immature flukes included thrombosis, migrational tracks such as hemorrhagic foci with massive eosinophilia and hepatic necrosis. The changes of chronically infected livers of cattle were recognized as proliferation of periductal eosinophilic granuloma of various degrees in each portal triad. And this easential cholangiohepatitis might develop into multiple focal cirrhosis or diffuse perilobular cirrhosis. 4. Most cases with gross lesion of swelled bile ducts on visceral surface of the liver showed histological evidences of fascioliasis lesion throughout hepatic lobes.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is that the protective effects of habmayou on acetaminophen (AP)-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in mice. Methods : Before administering AP mice supplied with only water were left alone for 18 hours. after concentration and dissolution in poly ethylglycol AP 400mg per 1kg of mouse weight, we injected AP titrated density with a physiological saline solution into the abdominal cavity of mouse to induce hepatotoxicity. we researched mortality rate and the shape of liver tissue of mouse. Results : Treatment with habmayou (250 mg/kg, p.o.) 0.5 h after AP administration significantly prevented an increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities and AP-induced hepatic necrosis, and also reduced AP-induced mortality from 46% to 0%. In addition, oral treatment with habmayou significantly prevented AP-induced depletion of glutathione (GSH) contents. However, habmayou treatment, by itself, did not affect hepatic GSH contents. Conclusion : These results show that the hepatoprotective effects of habmayou against AP overdose may be due to its ability to block the bioactivation of AP by regeneration of hepatonecrotic cells.

Resistance to combination chemotherapy remains challenge in the treatment of osteosarcoma. One of the mechanisms of multiple drug resistance is an increased expression of the multidrug resistance gene(mdr1). Expression of the P-glycoprotein(mdr-1 gene product) was studied immunohistochemically and the mdr-1 gene by in situ hybridization in 33 osteosarcomas relating to various prognostic factors. Thirty cases out of 33 osteosarcomas(90.9%) showed positive cytoplasmic reactions with P-glycoprotein and nineteen instances(57.6%) were strong positive(2+). The older(>20 years) and female patients revealed more intense immunohistochemical reactions rather than those of the younger and male patients. Osteoblastic and chondroblastic osteosarcomas revealed more strong immunohistochemical reactions compared to fibroblastic types. There were no significant staining differences between the type of bony involvement, Broder's grade and the presence of necrosis. On follow-up, the mean survival rate was decreased in the strong positive group, however, this was not statistically significant. In situ hybridization for mdr-1 gene revealed positive signals in 22 cases out of 29 osteosarcomas(75.9%). Chemotherapy was done in 15 cases out of 28 patients(53.6%). The results of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were not correlated with the protocols for chemotherapy. However, this result should be confirmed by a larger scale study about mdr1 mRNA expression.
