본 연구는 외과적으로 형성된 흰쥐 하악골 결손부에 S.mutan에서 분리 정제된 mutan을 주사하고, ${\mu}CT$로 촬영하여 골결손부의 치유에 미치는 영향을 3차원 골 미세구조 지표로 평가하기 위하여 실시하였다. 흰쥐 치조골에 임계 크기 결손부인 1.5 mm 지름의 원형 결손부를 형성하여 대조군에는 동일량의 saline을 투여하고, 실험군으로 LPS와, mutan을 주사하여 골치유에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 수술 후 4주에 희생하고 치유 결과를 3차원 미세구조의 형태 계측학적 지표값을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 실험동물의 체중변화는 총 12회 투여 기간 동안 일정한 증가를 나타냈다. 8회차부터 mutan 처리군은 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 차이를 보였으며(p<0.05), 9회차에는 mutan 처리군이 대조군과 LPS 처리군과 비교하여(p<0.05), 10~12회차에는 LPS 처리군과 비교하여 유의한 체중증가를 나타냈다(p<0.01). Mutan이 생체 내에서 하악의 골치유 효과를 알아보기 위해 ${\mu}CT$를 통해 형태계측학적 지표 분석 결과, 대조군에 비해 LPS 처리군에서 뚜렷한 골결손부 치유 지연 및 골흡수 양상을 보였으며, mutan 처리군 은 LPS의 작용보다 미약하지만 골치유를 지연시키는 것으로 확인되었다. ${\mu}CT$를 통해 골밀도 분석 결과, 대조군과 비교하여 LPS와 muatn 처리군에서 낮은 골밀도치를 나타냈고, mutan은 LPS 처리군보다 유의하게 높은 골밀도치를 보였다(p<0.01).

A modified Fontan procedure was performed on two patients with Univentricular heart. The first patient had UVH of right ventricular type with trabecular pouch and had various associated anomalies, such as common atrium, common atrioventricular valve and combined pulmonary stenosis. The second patient had UVH of left ventricular type with outlet chamber and the associated anomalies were atrial septal defect, tricuspid stenosis and combined pulmonary stenosis. Postoperative hemodynamic insufficiency, fluid retention and renal insufficiency were occurred in the first patient, but relieved with the aid of inotropics and vasodilators. We thought that the good postoperative course and surgical result were gained from the widely patent atriopulmonary anastomosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the kV on fractal dimension of trabecular bone in digital radiographs. Materials and Methods: 16 bone cores were obtained from patients who had taken partial resection of tibia due to accidents. Each bone core along with an aluminum step wedge was radiographed with an occlusal film at 0.08 sec and with the constant film-focus distance (32 cm). All radiographs were acquired at 60, 75, and 90 kV. A rectangular ROI was drawn at medial part, distal part, and the bone defect area of each bone core image according to each kV. The directional fractal dimension was measured using Fourier Transform spectrum, and the anisotropy was obtained using directional fractal dimension. The values were compared by the repeated measures ANOVA. Results : The fractal dimensions increased along with kV increase (p < 0.05). The anisotropy measurements did not show statistically significant difference according to kV change. The fractal dimensions of the bone defect areas of the bone cores have low values contrast to the non-defect areas of the bone cores. The anisotropy measurements of the bone defect areas were lower than those of the non-defect areas of the bone cores, but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Fractal analysis can notice a difference of a change of voltage of x-ray tube and bone defect or not. And anisotropy of a trabecular bone is coherent even with change of the voltage of x-ray tube or defecting off a part of bone.

Scaffolds are essential in bone tissue engineering, as they provide support to cells and growth factors necessary to regenerate tissue. In addition, they meet the mechanical function of the bone while it regenerates. Currently, the multiple methods for designing and manufacturing scaffolds are based on regular structures from a unit cell that repeats in a given domain. However, these methods do not resemble the actual structure of the trabecular bone which may work against osseous tissue regeneration. To explore the design of porous structures with similar mechanical properties to native bone, a geometric generation scheme from a reaction-diffusion model and its manufacturing via a material jetting system is proposed. This article presents the methodology used, the geometric characteristics and the modulus of elasticity of the scaffolds designed and manufactured. The method proposed shows its potential to generate structures that allow to control the basic scaffold properties for bone tissue engineering such as the width of the channels and porosity. The mechanical properties of our scaffolds are similar to trabecular tissue present in vertebrae and tibia bones. Tests on the manufactured scaffolds show that it is necessary to consider the orientation of the object relative to the printing system because the channel geometry, mechanical properties and roughness are heavily influenced by the position of the surface analyzed with respect to the printing axis. A possible line for future work may be the establishment of a set of guidelines to consider the effects of manufacturing processes in designing stages.

심실의 내부는 유두근이나 trabecular와 같은 해부학적 구조물들로 인해 복잡한 형태를 띄고 있다. 그러한 복잡한 구조는 MR 영상을 이용한 심박출량 측정시 오차를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 만약 오차를 줄이기 위해 수작업을 하게 된다면 많은 수고와 시간이 필요하게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 threshold 기법을 이용하여 짧은 시간동안에 정확하게 복잡한 구조를 가진 심실의 심박출량을 측정하고자 하였다. 7 명의 환자에 대해 l.5T 급 MR 장치 (INTERA, Philips, Netherlands)를 이용하여 short-axis cardiac MR 영상을 획득하였다. 한 환자에 대해서 8개에서 10개의 슬라이스 영상을 8-10 mm의 두께로, 하나의 심장주기(cardiac cycle)동안 일정한 시간간격으로 25 개의 영상을 획득하였으며, 펄스시퀀스로는 ECG-gated segmented balanced fast field echo (TR/TE = 3ms/1.56ms)를 사용하였다. 획득된 영상은 PC(threshold 기법)와 workstation (기존의 수동 및 자동 segmentation 기법)로 DICOM 형태로 전송되었다. 측정은 IDL을 이용하여 자체 제작된 소프트웨어와 상용화된 소프트웨어 (MASS 5.0, MEDIS, Netherlands)를 이용하여 분석되었다. MR 영상에서 심내벽 부위를 추출하기 위하여 자체제작된 소프트웨어로는 threshold 기법을, 상용 소프트웨어로는 기존의 수동 및 자동 기법을 이용하였다. 심박출량은 최대수축기와 이완기 사이의 용적 차이로써 계산되었으며, 좌심실 및 우심실 모두에 대해 수행되었다. 또한, 해부학적 구조의 복잡도에 따른 측정방법의 정확도를 확인하기 위해 유두근 및 trabecular의 hypertrophy의 정도를 3 단계로 구분하고 측정된 값들을 통계적으로 분석하였다. Hypertrophy가 약한 그룹에서는 기존의 수동방식과 threshold 기법간의 의미있는 차이가 없었으며 (p=0.372), 기존의 수동 및 자동방식 간에도 큰 차이가 없었다 (p=0.298). 그러나, hypertrophy가 심한 그룹에서는 수동방식 및 자동방식 측정치 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보임을 알 수 있었다 (p=0.044). 그러나, threshold 기법과 수동방식 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다 (p=0.l94). 분석시간은 threshold 기법이 기존의 수동방식에 비해서 두배정도 빠르다는 것을 알 수 있었다, Threshold 기법은 심박출량 측정에 있어서 정확하면서도 빠른 결과의 도출이 가능했으며, 특히 심내벽의 구조가 복잡한 경우에 그 효과가 증대됨을 알 수 있었다.
