Objective: To evaluate stromal cells of the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) in bone marrow trephine biopsy (BMTB) specimens, with a focus on fibronectin, tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) and L-selectin in Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients, before and after therapy. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 de novo NHL patients, 64 with B-cell lymphomas 80%, (follicular cell lymphoma (FCL) in 32, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) in 12, and diffuse large cell lymphoma in 20) and 16 with T-cell lymphomas (20%) all diagnosed as T-Lymphoblastic lymphomas, were evaluated before and after therapy. For comparison, 25 age and sex matched BM donors, were included as a control group. BMTB material and BM aspirates were taken for morphological assessment of stromal cells, the plasma of these samples being examined for $TNF{\alpha}$ and L-selectin by ELISA, and fibronectin by radial immunodiffusion (RID). Results: BM stromal cells comprising reticular macrophages and fibroblasts were elevated in 53.3% of NHL cases at diagnosis, while BM fibronectin levels were decreased and BM $TNF{\alpha}$ and L-selectin were higher than in controls (p<0.05). In NHL cases, elevated values of BM $TNF{\alpha}$ and BM L-selectin were associated with signs of aggressive disease, including >1 extra nodal sites, detectable B symptoms, high grade, BM and CNS invasion, and a high International prognostic index (IPI) (p<0.05). Conclusion: BMM components, $TNF{\alpha}$, L-selectin and fibronectin, in NHL can be useful in evaluating disease activity, extent and response to treatment and as prognostic markers according to the IPI.

We performed sinus bone graft using some amount of autogenous bone and $BioOss^{(R)}$ and covered the sinus window with $Ossix^{(R)}$ membrane in these case series. After 4 to 6 months after operation, histopathologic examinations of trephine core biopsy showed following results. 1. There were bone density of 39.2% to 41.2% four months after operation, and we could observe the favorable early new bone formation. 2. Active bony remodeling of woven and lamellar bone was observed during 4 to 6 months healing period. 3. There were no significant differences between two groups. And also there were no significant differences between 4 months and 6 months.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of different compressive forces on deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) particles covered by native bilayer collagen membrane (NBCM) during alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in the molar area, and to identify any histomorphometric and clinical differences according to the compressive force applied. Methods: Sockets were filled with DBBM after tooth extraction, and different compressive forces (30 N and 5 N, respectively) were applied to the graft material in the test (30 N) and control (5 N) groups. The DBBM in both groups was covered with NBCM in a double-layered fashion. A crossed horizontal mattress suture (hidden X) was then made. A core biopsy was performed using a trephine bur without flap elevation at the implant placement site for histomorphometric evaluations after 4 months. The change of the marginal bone level was measured using radiography. Results: Twelve patients completed the study. The histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that the mean ratios of the areas of new bone, residual graft material, and soft tissue and the implant stability quotient did not differ significantly between the groups (P>0.05). However, the mean size of the residual graft material showed a significant intergroup difference (P<0.05). Conclusions: The application of 2 compressive forces (5 N, 30 N) on particulate DBBM grafts during open-healing ARP in the posterior area led to comparable new bone formation, implant feasibility and peri-implant bone level.

Purpose: to describe the histologic appearance of the type III bone bruise in knees which had sustained an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Materials and Method: Twenty-five patients who sustained acute ACL rupture were prospectively enrolled in this study. On MRI, 14 patients demonstrated type III bone bruise on lateral femoral condyle, and 11 patients didn't demonstrated bone bruise. Arthroscopic evaluation and biopsy of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone wert performed before ACL reconstruction. Histologic and immunohistochemical evaluations were done. Results: There was no difference between the bone bruise and control group in the hematoxylin-eosin staining for cell distribution, Masson's trichrome staining for collagen and immunohistochemical staining for type I and type II collagen (p>0.05). But in the safranin-O staining for glycosaminoglycan distribution, the bone bruise group had an evidence of decreased staining at the superficial and middle layers, compared with the control group (p<0.05). We also found fatty change of bone marrow in calcified zone of the bone bruise group with safranin-O staining. Conclusion: We suggest that the type III bone bruise found on MRI indicates a substantial damage to normal articular cartilage homeostasis, and may induce further damage of the articular cartilage.

목적 : 최근 발치 후 즉시 임플란트 식립은 널리 사용되는 수술 방식이다. 이 연구의 목적은 임플란트 주위 골결손시 Ca-P으로 표면 처리된 이종골을 사용하여 골재생을 평가하기 위함이다. 재료와 방법 : 두 마리의 개 모델에서 하악 소구치와 제일 대구치를 발치하였다. 발치 6주 후 trephine bur를 이용하여 7.5 mm 지름과 5 mm 깊이를 가진 결손부를 형성하였다. 이 후 이 결손부의 중앙에 3.5 mm 지름과 15mm 길이의 fixture(GS II)를 식립하였다. 결과적으로 임플란트와 주변을 둘러싸고 있는 골 사이에는 2.0 mm정도의 gap이 만들어진다. 준비된 결손부 내로 자기골 또는 $Biocera^{(R)}$를 채웠다. 각각 4주, 8주 후 조직 절편을 제작하였다. 조직학적 평가를 위해 Block biopsy를 시행하였다. 결과 : 두 집단 모두 임상적으로 골이 완전히 채워졌다. 자가골이 이식된 부위(control)의 평균 골-임플란트 접촉(BIC)은 각각 4주째 $28.2{\pm}19%$였고, 8주째 $44.9{\pm}9%$였다. $Biocera^{(R)}$가 이식된 부위(test)의 평균 BIC는 각각 4주째 $34.6{\pm}27%$였고, 8주째 $27.6{\pm}23%$였다. 자가골이 이식된 부위(control)의 평균 골밀도는 각각 4주째 $32.7{\pm}25%$, 8주째 $37.4{\pm}17%$였다. 골-임플란트 접촉(BIC)과 골밀도의 평균 비율(%)은 비슷하였다. 조직학적으로 자가골과 이종골 이식 부위 모두 주변골과 잘 조화를 이루었고 유사한 치유 양상이 관찰되었다. 자가골과 이종골 이식 부위간 유의한 차이는 없었다.(P>0.05) 결론 : 임플란트 주위 2 mm의 골 결손부위에 자가골 또는 이종골로 채운 경우 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 이 결과 임플란트 fixture 주위의 골 결손부 해소를 위해 자가골을 대체할 수 있는 재료로 $Biocera^{(R)}$를 사용할 수 있음을 보여준다.
