수질의 형질세포종(extramedullary plasmacytoma)은 극히 드물게 나타나는 형질세포 악성종양(plasma cell malignancy)중 하나이며 치은에 발생한 경우는 거의 보고된바 없다. 다발성 골수종과의 감별진단은 조직학적 검사 후에도 여러 혈액검사 및 병이화학 검사가 필요하며 초기진단에 확실한 검사는 어렵다. Pahor등에 의하면 수질외 형질세초종의 5년생존률이 60%인 것에 비해 다발성 골수종에서는 5.7%를 보여 예후에 있어서 현저한 차이를 보이고 보든 수질외 형질세포종환자에 있어서 전신질환으로의 진행 가능성은 배제할 수 없으므로 장기간의 관찰이 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 저자 등은 신장이식 수술 후 면역억제제를 사용한 15세 환자에서 치은에 발생한 형질세포을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 진단, 예후, 치료 및 면역 억제제와의 연관성에 관하여 보고하는 바이다.

Odontogenic myxoma, a rare tumour that occurs in the jaws, locally invasive, destructive tumors that do not metastasize to lymph nodes. Large odontogenic myxoma on mandible is treated by mandibulectomy, defected mandible is reconstructed by bone graft. Reconstructed mandible is difficult to reconstruct dentition using implant because of deficiency of bone amount. So it is necessary to additional bone graft. But a poor aspect of soft tissue lead to unsatisfactory result. Because of distraction osteogenesis is possible to reconstruction of an amount of bone and soft tissue, that is advantage to reconstruction of alveolar bone on reconstructed mandible. We report with review of literatures the 25 years old male patient who had odontogenic myxoma in left mandible, was undergone mandibulectomy and successfully implant installation and prosthetic restoration after distraction osteogenesis(Track $Plus^{(R)}$, KLS Martin, Germany) on the reconstructed mandible with a free iliac bone graft, and we have conservative and successful result.

본 연구(硏究)는 목섬유(木纖維)와 열가소성(熱可塑性) 플라스틱의 복합재료(複合材料)를 제조하고 그 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 평가하기 위하여 실행되었다. 강도가 높고 밀도가 낮아 플라스틱의 보강재료로써 잠재성을 갖는 목섬유를 2종의 열가소송 플라스틱(폴리프로필렌과 폴리에틸렌)과 혼합(混合)하여 복합재료(複合材料)를 만들었다. 흡습성(吸濕性)인 목섬유와 비흡습성(非吸濕性)인 플라스틱과 친화성을 위해 계면활성제(界面活性劑)를 사용하였다. 또한 낮은 밀도의 목섬유를 플라스틱내에서 혼합하기 위해 고속 플라스틱믹서를 사용하였다. 사출성형(射出成形)한 샘플을 사용하여 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 시험(試驗)한 결과 인장및 휨강도는 목섬유 혼합량에 따라 크게 향상되었다. 휨 강도(强度)는 인장강도(引張强度)보다 훨씬 크게 나타났으며 인장(引張)및 휨탄성(彈性) 계수(係數)는 플라스틱내 목섬유 혼합량과 비례적으로 증가하였다. 목섬유는 복합재료의 강도(强度)와 탄성계수(彈性係數)를 향상시킴으로서 플라스틱을 보강할 수 있었다. 이와는 반대로 인장시험에서 시편 파괴점까지의 신장율과 파괴에너지는 목섬유 혼합량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 충격강도(衝擊强度) 역시 유사한 경향을 보였다.

지중에서 채취한 불교란 포화점토시료는 응력해방으로 인해 연직방향으로 늘어나고 수평방향으로 수축한다. 현행 압밀시험법은 이와 같이 변형된 점토시료를 그대로 압밀링과 같은 크기로 성형하여 압밀시험을 수행하기 때문에 원지반의 거동을 명확히 나타내고 있다고 할 수 없다. 채취시료의 연직 신장변형량은 보링공에서 채취한 점토시료와 완전 되비빔한 슬러리로부터 재구성한 점토시료를 이용하여 측정한 결과, $1{\sim}2%$의 범위로 나타났다. 원위치의 압밀특성을 모사하는 시험방법은 표준압밀시험용 공시체보다 직경이 작고, 높이가 높은 공시체를 사용하여 원지반의 유효상 재압이 재하되었을 때 눌려 퍼져 압밀링의 내벽에 밀착하는 방법을 제안하였다.

For reconstruction of the bony defect, distraction osteogenesis has many advantages in comparison with bone graft. However, it needs long consolidation period for sufficient bone maturity. This study is performed to evaluate the effect of PRP injection into the distracted mandible on bone formation in rabbits. Twelve house rabbits, weighing 2 kg, were used. All animals underwent bilateral mandibular osteotomy under general anesthesia. A internal distractor divice was positioned along a plane perpendicular to the line of osteotomy. After 5 days of latency period, distraction osteogenesis was started at a rate of 1 mm/day for 9 days which was distracted 9 mm totally. After completion of distraction, 0.5 ml of PRP which collected in rabbit blood was injected into the distracted mandible on experimental group, whereas no injection was done in control group. Macroscopical, radiographical, and histological, and histomorphometric examinations were performed 2, 4 and 8 weeks after distraction. All animals showed distracted mandible and severe anterior cross-bite. In radiographical findings 2 weeks after distraction, more radiopacity in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. At 4 weeks after distraction, distracted bone was similar to normal bone in experimental group. In histological findings, 1) At 2 weeks after distraction, number of osteoblasts and angiogenesis in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. 2) At 4 weeks after distraction, more active and distinct bone in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control groups. 3) At 8 weeks after distraction, more dense and matured lamellated bone in the distracted gap was found in experimental group than that of control group. In histomorphometrical findings 8 weeks after distraction, more bone formation was observed in experimental group than control group (p<0.01). These results indicate that administration of PRP into the distracted mandible can promote bone formation.

The hemifacial microsomia is characterized by variable underdevelopment of the craniofacial skeleton, external ear, and facial soft tissues. So, patients with hemifacial microsomia have an occlusal plane canting and malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) with an intraoral or extraoral device is a technique using tension to generate new bone with gradual bone movement and remodeling. DO has especially been used to correct craniofacial deformities such as a hemifacial microsomia, facial asymmetry, and mandible defect that could not adequately be treated by conventional reconstruction with osteotomies. It has a significant advantage to lengthen soft and hard tissue of underdeveloped site without bone graft and a few complication such as nerve injury or muscle contracture. A 13-years old girl visited our clinic for the chief complaint of facial asymmetry. She had a left hypoplastic maxilla and mandible, occlusal plane canting and malocclusion. We diagnosed hemifacial microsomia and lanned DO to lengthen the affected side. Le Fort I osteotomy, left mandibular ramus and symphysis osteotomy were performed. The internal distraction devices fixed with screw on maxillary and mandibular ramus osteotomy sites. External devices were adapted to lower jaw for DO on symphysis osteotomy site and to upper jaw for rapid maxillary expansion (RME). At 7days after surgery, distraction was started at the rate of 1mm per day for 13days, and after 4months consolidation periods, distraction devices were removed. Simultaneous multiple maxillo-mandibular distraction osteogenesis with RME resulted in a satisfactory success in correcting facial asymmetry as well as occlusal plane canting for our hemifacial microsomia.

Introduction: The fibular free flap is now considered as the first choice for long mandibular discontinuity defect. In spite of its good bone quality for implant installation, its diameter is too narrow to rehabilitate the masticatory function with implant installation. In this report, distraction osteogenesis was used for the augmentation of bone to install the dental implant in the mandible which was reconstructed with a vascularized fibular free flap. Patients and Methods: Three patients undertook the vertical augmentation of grafted fibular bone and dental implants were installed. On the day 8 post-surgery, the activation of the distractor was started at the rate of 1 mm twice a day. The total amount of distraction was 15 mm in two patients and 12.5 mm in one patient. Twelve implants were installed in three patients. Dental implants were simultaneously installed during removal of the distraction device in two patients. In one patient, the implant installation was delayed after device had been removed. All three patients showed the symptoms of mild to severe postoperative infection during the activation and consolidation. However, the distracted site showed undisturbed bone regeneration. Conclusion: The distraction osteogenesis showed the reliable results for the vertical augmentation of fibular bone which was used for the mandibular reconstruction. However, the great tendency of postoperative infection must be considered and clinically controlled.

Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis is widely used as for bone lengthening in patients with maxillofacial deformity and alveolar bone atrophy. One of the major problems in distraction osteogenesis is long consolidation period for 2-3 months, in which the devices have to be fixed on the bone to prevent relapse. It results in scar formation on the face, disturbance of mastication and speech. This study was performed to evaluate the stimulating effect of pulsed electromagnetic field on the early bone consolidation in distraction osteogenesis. Materials and methods: Total 10 rabbit were used (5 for control group, 5 for experimental group). A vertical osteotomy in the mandibular body was performed and the distraction device was fixed. After 5 days distraction was done 1mm per a day for 7 days. A pulsed electromagnetic field (38 Gauss, 60 Hz) was applied for 8 hours per day and it continued for 5 days immediately after distraction in the experimental group. Both groups were sacrificed after 2 weeks. Histological specimens with H&E and Masson Trichrome staining were made and histomorphometrically analysed with image analyser. Results: The device for distraction osteogenesis was displaced in one animal for each group, therefore, only four animals in both groups were evaluated. In both groups, a new bone formation was observed in the distracted area after 2 weeks. The bone formation was enhanced in the experimental groups ($31.76{\pm}8.68%$) compared with control group ($9.94{\pm}3.23%$), its difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that electrical stimulation with electromagnectic field may be effective in the early bone formation after distraction osteogenesis. Further studies with large number of animals are needed before clinical application.

Objectives : It is difficult to place implants at a severely atrophied edentulous mandible because of vertical and horizontal alveolar defect. The autogenous and allogenic bone graft and guided bone regeneration are useful, but there are some limitations such as the resorption and infection of the grafted bone, and insufficiency of soft tissue. Distraction osteogenesis has recently evolved a challenging technique to overcome major draws of conventional augmentation procedures, we, therefore, report the four applications of implant placement after vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis. Patients and Methods : Four patients(all female, mean age: $60{\pm}6$ years) with severe alveolar ridge deficiencies at their anterior mandible were treated with vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis by intraoral device(Track 1.5, 15 mm model, KLS Martin, Tuttlingen, Germany) and placement of implants (Branemark MK III, TiUnite). After the latency periods of 5, 7, 8 days, distraction rhythm and rate were $0.5\;mm{\times}2\;times/day$ in the case of good bone quality, and $0.25\;mm{\times}3\;times/day$ in the case of poor bone quality. After consolidation periods of mean fifteen weeks, five implants for each patients were placed at the interforaminal area. Results : On average, a vertical gain of $11.38{\pm}1.38\;mm$ was obtained by distraction. And all distraction zone showed complete ossification by panoramic radiography. There were no postoperative complications other than numbness of lower lip in one case. Total twenty implants in four patients were placed and their outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion : It is a useful method to place five implants after vertical distraction osteogenesis of the severely atrophied mandible for the implant-supported fixed prosthesis.
