Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasingly becoming more prevalent worldwide together with hospital care costs from secondary complications such as bone fractures. Femoral fracture risk is higher in diabetes. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the osteometric and microarchitecture of the femur of Zucker Diabetic Sprague-Dawley (ZDSD) femur. Ten-week-old male rats (n=38) consisting of 16 control Sprague-Dawley (SD) and 22 ZDSD rats were used. The rats were terminated at 20 weeks and others at 28 weeks of age to assess age, diabetes duration effects and its severity. Bilateral femora were taken for osteometry, bone mass measurements and micro-focus X-ray computed tomography scanning to assess the trabecular number (TbN), thickness (TbTh), spaces (TbSp), bone tissue volume to total volume (BV/TV) and volume (BV). Diabetic rats had shorter (except for 20-weeks-old), lighter, narrower, and less robust bones than SD controls that wered more robust. Although cortical area was similar in all diabatic and control rats, medullary canal area was the largest in ZDSD rats. This means that the diabetic rats bones were short, light and hollow. Diabetic rats aged 20 weeks had reduced BV, BV/TV, TbN with more spacing (TbSp). In contrast, the 28 weeks old diabetic rats only showed reduced BV and TbN. Discriminant function analysis revealed, for the first time, that osteometric parameters and TbTh, TbN, and TbSp were affected by diabetes. This knowledge is valuable in the management of diabetic complications.

목적 : 이중광자에너지 전산화단층촬영의 정량적골무기물함량(Dual-Energy Quantitative Computed Tomography, DEQCT)의 실험상수를 구하고, DEQCT에 의한 골무기물함량과 동물척추 해면골의 무기물함량과 일치하는지 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 조직의 CT 번호는 주어진 방사선에너지와 조직상분에 따른 방사선 감약계수의 함수로 얻게 되며, 빙사선감약은 에너지에 따라 달라지므로 본 연구는 CT에서 사용되고 있는 80과 $120kV_p$ X선에서 각 조직의 질량감약계수를 구하여 실험적으로 DEQCT에 의한 골무기물함량을 결정하였다. DEQCT에서 골무기물함량결정에 이용되는 실험상수들은 골등가물질의 표준시료 $K_2HPO_4$ 용액과 연부조직의 물 및 지방등가물질로 무수알코올을 이용하여 구하였다. 골무기물함량 비교는 실험적 상수결정에 의한 DEQCT와 제작회사의 DEQCT를 사용하여 각각 구하였으며, 동물척추해면골 시편의 재의 질량과 각각 비교하였다. 결과 : $80kV_p$에서 골둥가물질의 질량흡수계수는 0.5608, 물 0.2409과 지방등가 조직에서 $0.2206cm^2/g$을 얻었으며, $120kV_p$의 방사선에서는 0.3273, 0.2046 및 $0.1971cm^2/g$을 각각 얻었다. 골등가물질 $K_2HPO_4$ 표준시료를 80과 $120kV_p$ X선으로 스켄한 CT 번호를 이용하여 실험상수 $K_1$는 0.3232, $K_2$는 0.2450를 각각 얻펐다. 이중광자에너지에 의한 골무기물함량측정결과는 동물척추해면골 시편의 재의 질량을 골무기물함량으로 정한 값과 비교한 결과 잘 일치하였으며 상관계수 r=0.998을 보였다. 한편, 동물척추골시편의 골무기물에 대하여 CT에 탑재된 DEQCT에 의한 골무기함량의 비교 결과는 상관계수 r=0.996 을 보여 상호 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 결론 :이중광자에너지 전산화단층영상장친에 대한 조직등가물질의 실험적 질량감약계수에 의한 골무기물함량과 제작사의 DEQCT에 의한 정량적 골무기물함량이 실험적 골무기물함량과 잘 일치함을 보였다.

임플란트 골유착의 성공과 임플란트 안정성에서 가장 중요한 것은 골의 양과 질이며 안정성을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 주입회전력도 골질에 영향을 받는다. 임플란트를 식립할 때 모터에서 생긴 힘이 임플란트에 전달되면 임플란트는 회전력(moment)과 축력(axial force)을 갖게 되고 임플란트와 접촉한 골에서는 절삭과 압박 그리고 마찰이 일어나 응력이 생기는데 이 때 측정되는 주입회전력(insertion torque)은 골질에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 임플란트를 하악 소구치 부위 골에 식립하는 것을 가정하여 골질을 치밀골의 두께와 망상골의 밀도 그리고 하방 치밀골 존재 시로 나누고, 골의 응력과 변위를 소탄성 범위의 유한요소법으로 분석하고 유효응력(von Mises stress)과 회전력 그리고 축력을 비교 연구하여 골질이 주입 회전력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 임플란트($Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII.RP, ${\phi}3.75{\times}10.0mm$, Nobel Biocare, $G{\ddot{o}}teborg$, Sweden) 와 원통형 골모형(${\phi}9.5{\times}12.0mm$)의 유한요소 모형을 설계하고 변수로 상부 치밀골의 두께(0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm)와 치밀골 하부에 망상골의 밀도($0.85g/cm^3$, $1.11g/cm^3$, $1.25g/cm^3$) 그리고 골모형 하부에 1 mm 두께의 치밀골 유무에 따라 총 7개의 모형을 만들었으며, 임플란트가 식립될 때 발생하는 유효응력과 축력 그리고 회전력을 시간대 별로 비교하였다. 임플란트 플랜지 하연이 골의 상부를 파고드는 300 msec, 중간 정도 들어간 550 msec, 완전히 들어가 플랜지 상면이 골 표면과 일치한 800 msec로 나누어 관찰하였을 때 축력은 500 msec 전후에서, 회전력은 800 msec 전후에서 최대값를 보였으며 유효응력 분포는 서로 비슷하였다. 이 같은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 축력을 영역 별로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트는 플랜지가 골을 파고들 때 축력이 치밀 골에서 가장 높았고, 회전력은 플랜지가 골상부에 걸리어 축력이 급격히 감소한 이후에 최대 회전력을 보였으며, 이 때 유효응력 분포는 플랜지와 접촉하는 골 상부에 집중되었다. 2. 임플란트 식립 시 치밀골의 두께가 두꺼울수록 축력과 회전력이 높게 나타났으며 치밀골의 두께가 축력과 회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 3. 치밀골의 두께가 1.5 mm 이상인 경우 망상 골의 밀도가 축력에 미치는 영향은 작았고, 치밀골의 두께가 0.5 mm인 경우 망상골의 밀도가 축력과 회전력에 영향이 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 4. 양측 피질골 존재 시 축력의 합은 상부 피질골의 두께가 같은 다른 경우와 비슷하였으나 부위별 촉력은 골하부에서 양측 피질골 모형이 가장 높았고, 회전력은 하방 피질골과 접촉할 때는 피질골 두께가 같은 다른 모형보다 다소 높으나 최대 회전력은 비슷하였다. 위 결과를 토대로 하악 소구치 부위에 $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트 식립 시 골질과 관련된 요소 중에 치밀골의 두께가 주입회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주며 망상골의 밀도를 높이는 술식도 일차적 안정성 증가에 유용할 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare embryonic malignant tumor of the liver. Most morphological studies on HB have limited to the histological characteristics and only 3 cases of HB have been described in the cytology literature. We present 2 cases of HB occurring in children aged 1 year and 3 years, respectively. The distinctive cytologic features of fine needle aspiration of HB were clusters of tumor cells showing acinar and trabecular pattern, smaller tumor cells with a high nuclear-cytopalsmic ratio and hyperchromatic nuclei having prominent nucleoli, and the presence of extramedullary hematopoiesis and osteoid material. These features were also found in the cell block and the biopsy specimen, and appeared very useful in the differentiation of HB from hepatocellular carcinoma.

A case of primary non-clear-cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina is reported occurring in a 65-year-old woman without exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero. The adenocarcinoma did not appear to be associated with vaginal adenosis. It lacked clear cell component and interestingly composed of columnar epithelial cells of endocervical-type. Cytologically round to oval nuclei revealed one or more small nucleoli and fine granular chromatin pattern. Cytoplasm was plump, faintly basophilic and homogeneously stained. Histologically well differentiated columnar epithelial cells were arranged on trabecular pattern mainly, and also occasional glandular lumina and small solid sheets were found. Mitoses were hardly found.

Two scleractinian species are newly recorded in Korea: Leptoseris mycetoseroides Wells, 1954 and Phyllangia hayamaensis (Eguchi, 1968). The two genera Leptoseris Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 and Phyllangia Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848 are also newly recorded in Korea. The specimens were collected from the subtidal zones of Jeju-do Island, Korea by SCUBA diving from 1991 to 2007. Leptoseris mycetoseroides is characterized by its platelike growth form, intratentacular budding, irregularly developed collines, single styliform columella, and even septa and septocostae. Phyllangia hayamaensis is distinguished by its encrusting and plocoid growth form of corallites basally united with common coenosteum, trabecular columella, and irregular septal arrangements and paliform lobes.

Achondroplasia is characterized by undergrowth of long bones and cartilages and by low height. The name of this disease had been called classical chondrodystrophy, dyschondroplasia, chondrodystrophy and micromelia before Parrot reported the term of this disease as Achondroplasia. We are reporting in this paper on an 3-year and 4-month-old boy with achondroplasia. The dental findings are as follows: 1. Open bite and relatively mandibular prognathism were observed in the front teeth. 2. The size, number, shape, structure of the teeth were usual and the tongue was a little bigger than the normal. 3. The metacarpal bones were short and broadening. Mesial, distal border of the prox. phalanges were irregular and also trabecular pattern was abnormal in the hand-wrist P-A view. 4. According to lat. cephalometric analysis, the cranial basis was underdeveloped.

The syndrome of anomalous muscle bundle dividing the right ventricle into two pressure chambers has been described by many authors. The malformation should not be confused with tetralogy of Fallot itself because the obstructive hypertrophic bands are usually proximal to the right ventricular infundibulum. One case [11 years old male] of double chambered right ventricle due to aberrant muscle bundle with intact ventricular septum is presented. The pressure gradient was 68 mmHg between inflow and outflow tracts of right ventricle on cardiac catheterization. On opening the right ventricle, there noted stenosis of outflow tract by infundibular membrane, hypertrophied anomalous muscle bundle, thickened moderator band & hypertrophied anterior papillary muscle. Open heart surgery was carried out with the aid of extracorporeal support, Anomalous muscle bundle [1.0 cm x 4.0 cm] and infundibular membrane were resected safely. The hypertrophied moderator band was cut at mid-portion and anterior papillary muscle was split vertically. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in good condition 2 weeks later.
