Purpose: This study was designed to verify intermediate-term functional and radiological results of limb salvage operation using endoprosthetic replacement system ($MUTARS^{(R)}$) used in patients with a malignant bone tumor. Materials and Methods: Thirty one cases which used $MUTARS^{(R)}$ tumor prosthesis were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 49.2 years and the mean follow up was 39.8 months. We retrospectively reviewed complications, and evaluated functionally and radiologically by Enneking functional score, ISOLS radiological implants evaluation system at last follow-up. Results: 3 patients had died of disease, distant metastasis was seen in 4 patients and local recurrence was seen in 1 patients. Complications were developed in 12 patients. (infection 6, leg length discrepancy 2, aseptic loosening 2, periprosthetic femoral fracture 1, screw loosening 1) Mean value of total functional scores were 81.2% in proximal femur, 77.4% in distal femur, 78.1% in proximal tibia, and 80.2% in proximal humerus. The overall radiological result was relatively satisfactory. Conclusion: Our results suggest limb salvage with the $MUTARS^{(R)}$ endoprosthesis is successful with good functional and radiological results. But we should be careful with complications such as infection.

Purpose : We evaluated the radiological and functional results of prosthetic reconstruction for locally aggressive benign and malignant tumor in the lower extremity. Materials and Methods : Eighty eight patients were followed up for an average 76 months(22~174). We examined the survival rate of prosthesis, and evaluated the final result by MSTS functional score and ISOLS radiological implants evaluation system. They were statistically analyzed according to the age(<20 year vs. ${\geq}$20 year), fixation methods, amount of bony resection, chemotherapy, local recurrence, and presence of metastasis. Results : The 5 year prosthetic survival rates were 100% in the proximal femur, 83.3% in the distal femur, 81.9% in the proximal tibia. Mean total functional scores were 73.3%, 72%, 68.7%, respectively. In distal femur, the non-chemotherapeutic group was superior in the prosthetic survival rate. Recurrence or metastasis affected the functions in the distal femur and proximal tibia. In the radiological evaluation of the distal femur, older patients over 20 years of age and with cement fixation were superior in bone remodeling(p<0.05). Postoperative infection and radiological loosening were the main causes of the prosthetic failure. Conclusion : The prosthetic reconstruction in the lower extremity led to good clinical and radiological results. Amount of bony resection, chemotherapy, recurrence and metastasis seemed to influence the prosthetic survival, and long-term follow-up will be necessary to investigate more significant prognostic factors.

본 연구는 비규격화시켜 촬영한 두장의 방사선 사진을 일반 영상처리 프로그램으로 기하학적 보정을 하여 디지탈 공제 촬영술을 시행한 결과를 개인별로 제작된 필름유지장치를 이용하여 규격화 시켜 촬영한 두장의 방사선사진을 디지탈 공제 촬영술을 시행한 결과와 비교하여 일반 영상처리 프로그램의 임상적 유용성을 평가해보고자 시행하였다. 19명의 자원자를 대상으로 하여, 각 환자에서 4매의 하악구치부 치근단 사진을 촬영하였다. 그중 2매는 XCP 필름 유지장치만으로 평행촬영법으로 촬영하였고, 나머지 2매는 교합제에 인상재를 부가하여 개인별로 제작된 XCP필름 유지장치를 이용하여 표준화시켜 역시 평행촬영법으로 촬영하였다. 기하학적 보정은 "Adobe Photoshop"과 "NIH Image" 프로그램으로 시행하였다. 특히 "Adobe Photoshop"의 임의영상회전 기능과 "IH Image"의 공제시술시 중첩된 사진을 투명하게 보여주는 기능, 병진기능을 활용하였다. 두 사진의 유사성을 측정하기 위해 공제된 사진의 계조도의 표준편차를 구하였다. 표준화군의 평균 표준편차가 기하학적 보정군의 평균 표준편차보다 약간 낮았으나, 통계적으로 유의성이 있는 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 위의 결과로 미루어보아, 하악구치부 에서 XCP필름 유지장치로 평행촬영한 비표준화방사선사진을 "Adobe Photoshop"과 "NIH Image" 프로그램을 이용하여 기하학적 보정을 할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the preoperative and postoperative radiologic findings of patients with complete repairs after massive rotator cuff tears along with the incidence of re-tear and the clinical outcomes. Materials and methods: This study evaluated 33 cases who had open complete repairs for massive rotator cuff tears and these patients were followed up for more than 24 months. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the shoulder joint function test of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and the degree of arthritis related to the massive rotator cuff tears was evaluated using the Hamada classification. Results: The ASES scores improved from 37.6 preoperatively to 85.6 postoperatively. The mean preoperative acromio-humeral interval (AHI) score was 6.5 mm, which increased to 9.3 mm immediately after surgery, and there was a decreased to 6.5 mm noted at the last follow up. The lower radiology stages of arthritis according to the classification showed better preoperative and postoperative results. Conclusion: An open complete repair as the surgical treatment for a massive rotator cuff tear showed satisfactory results for pain relief and an improvement in the shoulder joint function though re-tear after surgery.

Purpose : To compare the functional evaluation with the posterior translation after arthroscopic PCL reconstruction in isolated and combined PCL-deficient knees. Materials and Methods : We retrospectively evaluated 45 patients with PCL-deficient knees who were treated by arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft from June 1994 to June 2000. The differences of posterior translation were measured with posterior stress lateral radiographs and KT-2000 arthrometer. The functional results were evaluated using the Lysholm knee score and IKDC evaluation form. Results : Preoperative mean side to side differences of the posterior translation were 11.83 mm in isolated PCL-deficient knees and 12.7 mm in combined PCL-deficient knees respectively. At the last follow-up in isolated and combined PCL-deficient knees, the mean radiographic side to side differences of the posterior translation were 6.38 mm and 6.7 mm, the average corrected 20 Ib posterior displacements using KT-2000 arthrometer were 3.5 mm and 4.1 mm, the mean Lysholm score were 87.4 and 81.2, the grade A and B of IKDC evaluation form were 16 cases $(88.9\%)$ and 23 cases $(85.2\%)$, respectively. Conclusion : The functional results had no relationship with the degree of posterior translation after arthroscopic PCL reconstruction. Tendency of posterior translation may be influenced by associated injury of the knee.

Stability of functional properties and chemical components of gamma-irradiated Astragali Radix (AR) were investigated to study the application of radiation technology for preservation and hygiene of medicinal herbs. Thus, ethanolic extracts and ethyl acetate fractions were prepared from gamma-irradiated and gamma-nonirradiated AR, respectively. Functional properties were estimated by comparing antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity) and protective effect against oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes. Chemical components were compared by HPLC analysis, comparing with calycosin ($_{t}$ R= 15.111 min), which was isolated from ethyl acetate fraction as a standard material. Their antioxidant activities and protective effects against oxidative DNA damage showed no significant difference at the concentrations tested. HPLC analysis also showed almost same pattem. These results suggest that the functional properties and chemical components of AR are not affected largely by gamma irradiation, and radiation technology can be applied to preservation and hygiene of medicinal herbs.s.

Purpose : We attempted to compare the independent factors such as age, sex, C-reactive protein(CRP), and white blood cell count(WBC) in children with radiologic studies and assess the necessity of performing voiding cystourethrography(VCUG). Method : 98 children who have been diagnosed their first time febrile urinary tract infection from Janurary 2002 to Januray 2005 were enrolled. In all patient, the duration of fever which occurred before and after treatment was recorded, and CRP, WBC, $^{99m}Tc$-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid($^{99m}Tc$-DMSA) renal scans, renal ultrasound and VCUG were analyzed. Results : Of the 98 children diagnosed with urinary tract infection(UTI), 52 were male and 46 were female. 18 had abnormalities in VCUG, 17 had abnormalities in kidney ultrasound, and 20 had partial defects or diffuse uptake decrease in $^{99m}Tc$-DMSA renal scans. There were no significant relationship between incidence of radiologic abnormalities and age. The risk of renal scar was significantly higher in children who had a longer febrile period before treatment than in those with shorter period. Both CRP and WBC were significantly elevated in children with the radiological abnormalities. A positive of $^{99m}Tc$-DMSA renal scans and renal ultrasound were highly associated with vesicoureteral reflux(VUR). Conclusion : If there are abnormalities in the kidney ultrasound and $^{99m}Tc$-DMSA renal scan of a child with initial UTI, a VCUG is recommended. Even in cases without abnormal findings in $^{99m}Tc$-DMSA renal scan and renal ultrasound, clinical data such as CRP and WBC should be assessed, and VCUG should be Performed for the undetected VUR.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the result of arthroscopic excision of painful Os subtibiale and Os subfibulare. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients who had accessory bone in the ankle joint were treated by arthroscopy. Os subtibiale was four cases and os subfibulare twelve. The average follow-up period was 9 months$(range:6{\sim}42months)$. All patients were evaluated clinically with physical examination and radiologically with simple X-ray and for further evaluation, eight with bone scan, three with computed tomography and twelve with magnetic resonance image. We estimated the result of resection with Ogilvie-Harris's criteria. Results: All parameters of subjective and functional evaluation were improved with statistical significance(p<0.05). At final evaluation, eight patients still complained of mild pain and among them, three patients for synovitis, three for tendinitis on MRI and two for incomplete resection. Conclusion: The arthroscopic resection is a very effective method for painful os subtibiale and subfibulare using small incisions and for treatment of associated lesion. The preoperative radiological evaluation is essential and magnetic resornance image is useful for detecting of associated lesion.
