In dentistry, precious metal alloys are, mainly due to economic factors, increasingly displaced by alternatives containing Ni-Cr-Co. There are some reports where hypersensitive reactions to Ni-Cr-Co alloys are presented and discussed. The reactions reported vary from mucosa contact stomatitis to generalized dermatitis without any oral mucosal reaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of nickel, chrome, cobalt and copper, and to know whether subjects with positive skin reaction to nickel would also demonstrate adverse intraoral reaction to a non-precious metal nickel. The patch tests were performed in 81 subjects(male 39, female 42) and nickel sulfate 5% aq., potassium bichromate 0.5% at., cobalt chloride 2% aq., & copper sulfate 1% aq., were used for test allergens. And then the intraoral tests were performed in 16 subjects, 8 subjects with positive allergic skin reaction to nickel and 8 subjects with negative allergic skin reaction. A pure metallic nickel plate was attached to the buccal side of the upper second premolar. The results are as follows : 1. The frequency of nickel sensitivity was 9.9% (2 men, 6 women), cobalt was 4.9% (1 man, 3 women), and chrome was 2.5% (2 men) respectively and there was no positive reaction to copper 2. The positive reactions were 8 of 23 (34.8%) with a history of jewelry allergic reactions and 3 of 58 (5.1%) without a history of jewelry allergic reactions. 3. Three of 8 subjects with positive skin reaction. gave reactions to the metal plates.

The majority of flexible bronchoscopies are performed under topical anesthesia with lidocaine being the most commonly used agent. Anaphylaxis rarely occurs after local administration of lidocaine, but can be a fatal complication. We experienced a case of unexpected anaphylaxis. A 66-year-old woman was scheduled for flexible bronchoscopy to evaluate a tracheal mass and stenosis. The oral and nasal mucosa were pretreated with lidocaine. About 2~3 minutes later, the patient developed hypotension and we treated for anaphylaxis in the emergency room. Then, we decided to perform rigid bronchoscopy in this patient, under conditions of general anesthesia. A rigid bronchoscopy was performed in this patient, safely and successfully. The tracheal mass was determined to be squamous cell carcinoma.

Head and neck arteriovenous malformation usually forms huge mass, cause profuse bleeding or potenially compromise the airway. This bleeding is vulnerable to be uncontrollable and life­threatening. Sometimes it has a high mortality. Although surgical resection is possible in some cases, the morbidity such as a defects of soft tissue is very high and its reconstruction is very difficult. The authors report an 11 year old female patient in whom occlusion of arteriovenous malformation with glue after transcutaneous embolization made a satisfactory results. At the beginning, she was transferred for massive oral bleeding. The bleeding was persistent and it was not possible to remove the packing in spite of many times of embolizations through feeding arteries. The massive bleeding trom the left upper alveolar mucosa compromised the airway and tracheotomy was done. Whenever the hypovolemic shock was occurred in a short time, blood transfusion and cardiopulmonary resucitation were done. To embolize the vascular mass of arteriovenous malformation, as a final trial before operation, the spinal needle was administered through the left upper gingiva under the fluoroscopy. The glue was injected on the target. The bleeding was stopped and we have noticed the absence of nidus on follow-up angiography after 3 weeks. We experienced that some cases of arteriovenous malformation in head & neck revealing the bleeding could be treated with transcutaneous embolization instead of surgical resection.

혀 뿌리 부위의 종양, 특히 종양이 정상으로 보이는 점막 아래에 위치해 있는 경우 발견하고 진단하기가 어렵다. 전산화단층촬영법, 특히 조영후 영상은 혀의 종양을 평가하고 경부 림프절을 포함한 인근 조직을 평가하기에 유용하다. 그러나 종양을 확진하기 위해서는 조직병리검사가 필요하다. 본 증례는 개에서 혀의 뿌리부터 몸통에 걸쳐 종양이 발생하였으며 환자는 유연과다 및 섭식장애 증상으로 전원되었다. 구강검사 결과 혀의 운동성 장애가 관찰되었으며 전산화단층촬영으로 혀 종양이 확인되었다. 2달 뒤 사후에 개의 혀에서 조직을 채취하여 조직병리검사를 실시한 결과 혀의 종양은 편평세포암종으로 진단되었다.

Some mucoadhesive polymers such as hydroxypropylcelluose (HPC) and carbopol-934 (CP) have been employed for the preparation of mucoadhesive polymeric systems, and their physical properties including mucoadhesion, swelling, and drug release were evaluated. A new simple experimental technique that can quantitatively measure the bioadhesive properties of various polymeric systems has been developed by the methods of detachment force test. As the polymeric systems, the discs of freeze-dried HPC/CP solid dispersions were prepared. The mucosa used in these tests were upper, middle, and lower parts of small intestine of male rats weighing $300{\sim}350\;g$. Detachment forces were increased as the mole fraction of CP increased in discs of HPC/CP solid dispersions. In the points of intestinal site dependence of mucoadhesion, the solid dispersions revealed non-specific mucoadhesion to the intestine. Swelling and drug release characteristics of mucoadhesive polymeric systems were studied extensively to find out the feasibility for the oral controlled delivery systems. Swelling ratio, expressed as the final height/initial height, has been determined in various pH buffer solutions. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was employed as a model drug for release study. Apparent swelling and drug release rate constants, $K_s$ and $K_r$ respectively, were obtained from the square-root time plot of either swelling ratio or released amount of drug, particularly for the time periods before reaching the equilibrium. As a result, the swelling ratio of HPC/CP solid dispersions was increased as the weight percentage of CP increased. Similarly, the release of HCT from the solid dispersions was dependent on pH changes and CP contents, resulted in the slower release of HCT with the increases of pH and CP contents.

Xanthoma disseminatum (XD) is a benign, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by disseminated xanthomatous lesions with face, flexures, and mucosa. Most of XD develops in mucocutaneous lesions including skin, oral cavity and pharynx, however laryngeal involvement is uncommon. While the natural course of XD is usually benign and often self-limiting, but XD develop in critical anatomical locations may result in morbidity and mortality. Localized mucous lesions in oropharynx and larynx lead to dysphagia, dyspnea and air way obstruction. The diagnosis of XD was based on clinical, histological and immunohistochemical findings. The treatment is complex and non-consensual. Local treatment with cryotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and carbon dioxide lasers have been attempted with various results. Systemic medication with peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma receptors, statins, fenofibrate, chlorodeoxyadenosine, cyclophosphamide, doxycycline, and cyclosporine have also been reported, but none have proven particularly successful. A 59-year-old man presented with respiratory symptoms because of laryngeal involvement of XD. We had to remove the obstructive lesion for relieving the symptoms. We experienced XD in Larynx that was rare in otorhinolaryngology. So we report this case with review of literatures.

Frequently used for humans as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, naproxen has been known to induce ulcerative gastric lesions. The present study was undertaken to investigate the in vivo therapeutic effect of astaxanthin, isolated from a Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous mutant, against naproxen-induced gastric antral ulceration in rats. The rats were treated with three doses of astaxanthin [1, 5, and 25 mg/kg body weight (B.W.), respectively] once daily for 2 weeks after pretreatment of 80 mg of naproxen/kg B.W. twice daily for 3 days, while the control rats received only 80 mg of naproxen/kg B.W. twice daily for 3 days. The oral administration of astaxanthin (1,5, and 25 mg/kg B.W.) showed a curative effect against naproxen (80 mg/kg B.W.)-induced gastric antral ulcer and reduced the elevated lipid peroxide level in gastric mucosa. In addition, astaxanthin treatment resulted in significant increase in the activities of radical scavenging enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. A histologic examination clearly proved that acute gastric mucosal lesion induced by naproxen nearly disappeared after the astaxanthin treatment. These results suggest that astaxanthin eliminated the lipid peroxides and free radicals induced by naproxen and may be a potential candidate for remedy of gastric ulceration.

낭종은 환자의 연령, 낭종의 종류 및 위치에 따라 치료방법을 선택하는 것이 바람직하며, 환자의 연령이 어린 경우에는 조대술을 통하여 낭종에 이환된 치아를 가능한 보존시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 생각된다. 낭종에 포함되었던 치아는 조대술로 낭종을 제거후에 생리적인 맹출이 이루어지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 기능도 정상적으로 수행하는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, 조대술을 이용하여 시술한 후에는 맹출된 치아에 병리조직이 잔존되어 재발의 가능성이 있으므로 주기적인 관찰이 요구될 것으로 생각된다.
