자궁경부세포검사는 자궁경부암 선별검사로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, 위음성 비율이 높아 인유두종바이러스 중합효소연쇄반응 (HPV PCR) 검사로 보완이 제안되고 있다. HPV PCR 검사의 임상적 유용성을 확인하여, 자궁경부암을 예방하는 선별검사의 효과를 알아보고자 한다. 217명의 환자의 데이터를 분석하였고, 높은 HPV 감염률(46.1%)과 분산분석결과 연령 집단간 HPV 감염률에 유의한 차이가 보였다(P=0.015). 특히, 연구기간 중 CIN3 3건 상피세포암 1건이 관찰되었는데, 고위험군 HPV(16, 33)감염이 모두 관찰되었고, 20대와 30대 상피세포 이형성증 진단 환자에서 높은 고위험군 HPV감염이 관찰되었다. 따라서 이 연령대에 대한 광범위한 연구 및 예방 활동이 필요하며, 자궁암 예방을 위한 선별검사로써 세포학적 검사와 함께 HPV PCR 검사가 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

배경 및 목적: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) 제균 치료는 위암 발병률을 줄이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 만성 위축성 위염, 장상피화생 및 이형성증이 있는 일반 집단에서도 위암의 발생 위험을 예방할 수 있는지에 대해서는 여전히 논란의 여지가 있다. 우리는 포괄적인 메타분석을 통해 이에 대한 연구를 수행해 보고자 한다. 방법: 2019년 12월까지 H. pylori 제균 치료가 위암에 미치는 영향을 평가한 논문들을 PubMed, KoreaMed, EMBASE 및 Cochrane Library에서 검색하였다. 전암성 병변(만성 위축성 위염/장상피화생/이형성증), 지역(아시아/비아시아) 및 추적관찰기간에 따라 하위 집단 분석을 수행하였다. 모든 데이터는 Review Manager 5.3으로 분석하였다. 결과: 본 연구에서는 총 6편의 전향적 무작위 연구가 최종 분석에 포함되었다. 전체 집단에서 H. pylori 제균 치료는 위암 발생 위험을 유의하게 감소시켰다(위험비[RR]=0.56; 95% 신뢰구간[CI]: 0.41-0.77, p<0.01). 또한, 하위 집단 분석을 보면, H. pylori 제균 치료는 아시아 지역과 10년 이상의 추적관찰을 시행한 집단에서 위암 발생 위험을 현저하게 감소시키는 것을 보여주었다(RR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.39-0.75, p<0.01 및 RR=0.51; 95% CI: 0.35-0.73, p<0.01). 그러나, 전암성 병변 유무에 따른 하위 집단 분석에서는 유의한 결과가 도출되지 않았다(전암성 병변이 있는 군, RR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.47-1.59, p=0.63; 전암성 병변이 없는 군, RR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.02-7.69, p=0.56). 결론: H. pylori 제균 치료는 일반 집단, 특히 아시아 지역에서 위암 발생 위험을 낮춘다. 제균 치료의 위암 예방 효과는 10년 이상 장기간 추적관찰 하였을 때 유의하다. 한편, 전암성 병변이 있는 일반 집단에서 위암 예방을 위해 H. pylori 제균 치료를 시행하는 것은 아직 근거가 명확하지 않아 권고하기 어렵다. 따라서 앞으로 이에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.

자궁경부 상피이형성증(cervical dysplasia)은 세포핵/세포질(nuclear/cytoplasmic, N/C) 면적비의 변화를 포함하는 자궁경부 상피에서의 형태학적 변화를 일으킨다. 세포핵은 중요한 산란 원인중에 하나이기 때문에 N/C 면적비의 변화는 깊이에 따른 원형 편광장도를 반영한다. 따라서 우리는 편광 민감 광결맞음 단층촬영장치(polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography, PS-OCT)를 이용하여 산란에 의해 발생하는 편광의 변화를 측정하였다. 자궁 경부 조직 샘플은 고등급 상피내종양(high-grade squamous intraepithelial, H-SIL)을 가진 한 명의 환자와 정상인 네 명의 환자에게서 얻어졌다. 우리는 자궁경부의 깊이에 따른 원형 편광의 유지 정도(degree of circular polarization, DOCP) 평균을 구하였고, 상피층의 깊이에서 최소 제곱 1차 선형 함수(least-square linear fit)를 사용하여 기울기를 획득하였다. 획득된 기울기를 가지고 DOCP의 변화율을 정량화 하였다. 그 결과 H-SIL에서의 DOCP의 감쇄가 정상 조직에서 보다 빠르게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 PS-OCT를 이용하여 산란 변화에 따른 DOCP의 변화율을 측정하는 것이 자궁경부상피 이형성증의 진단을 하는데 있어서 유용한 진단법이 될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Cemento-Osseous dysplasia is a benign condition of the jaw known to orginate from the periodontal ligament or medullary bone. Its treatment can be categorized according to clinical symptom. If there is no pain or other discomfort, a regular recall examination and having patients maintain proper oral hygeine are the best management. However, if clinical symptoms do exist, proper treatments such as resectioning of the mandible or mandibulectomy are needed. This clinical report describes a rare symptomatic case of cemento-osseous dysplasia which was treated with a conservative surgical method. Using this method, we obtained satisfactory results without additional grafts.

Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissues and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified, depending on their extent and radiographic appearances, into three main groups. Periapical cemental dysplasia predominantly involves the periapical region of the anterior mandible. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia presents with multifocal lesions in the tooth bearing or edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible, often occurring bilaterally with symmetric involvement. Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia exhibits a single site of involvement in any tooth bearing or edentulous area of the mandible or maxilla, with the posterior mandible representing the most common site. We report the clinical, radiographic and histological findings of 3 types of cemento-osseous dysplasia with a review of literatures.

The information concerning epithelial dysplasia of the oral cavity has been relatively little published. Of the histolgic grades, most of the cases were classified as moderate and severe category. Their ages ranged from 27 to 78 years(mean 57 years). The developmental incidence by sex was superior in male by ratio of 6 : 1. Epithelial lesions were located in the buccal mucosa, Floor of the mouth, the gingiva and the tongue. It is generally believed with a few exceptions that mild degree of epithelial dysplasia do not indicate any great danger for the patient. But severs dysplasia indicates that there is a very considerable risR of malignant transformation. Surgical excision is the effective method of controlling epithelial dysplasia. The authors investigated 7 cases of epithelial dysplasia histopathologically, 2 patients of them had malignant transformation. We discuss the clinical feature, treatment, prognosis, and histopatholgic analysis with literature reviews.

Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract and probably the most frequent cause of recurrent lower intestinal bleeding in otherwise healthy elderly patients. Also, it is an important cause of hemorrhage in chronic renal failure observed in up to 19~32% of patients. Bleeding due to gastric angiodysplasia is treated by various endoscopic approaches, including argon and Nd : YAG laser photocoagulation, monopolar or bipolar electrocoagulation, heater probe, injection sclerotherapy, band ligation or hemoclipping. A 15-year-old boy, who had undergone hemodialysis for chronic renal failure for about 10 years, was admitted due to melena and progressive anemia. A gastroduodenoscopy revealed a cherry red and fern-like lesion with oozing on the posterior wall at junction of gastric body and fundus. Endoscopic hemoclipping therapy was performed. However, melena recurred four days later. Argon plasma coagulation and hemoclipping therapy were performed again. Since then, no recurrence of bleeding has been observed.

The purpose of this study is to report the effect of korean medicine treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in adults. A patient diagnosed with DDH had been treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping therapy and chuna manual therapy for 8 weeks. The patient was evaluated by using range of motion (ROM) of hip joint, muscle strength of lower extremity, leg length, numeric rating scale (NRS) and Korean version of hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (K-HOOS). After the treatment, the patient had an improvement in the symptoms, pain, and activities of daily living of K-HOOS, especially the quality of life. In addition, NRS decreased from 7 to 4 points, and ROM and muscle strength also improved. The results of this study show that korean medicine treatment is effective and meaningful as one of the conservative treatment for DDH in adults.

Cherubism is an uncommon, benign fibrosseous lesion of the jaws that causes a progressive, painless, symmetrical expansion of the maxilla and mandible. It's autosomal dominance pattern of inheritance has been confirmed. A characteristic deformity is specific to this disease: hypertrophy of the mandible, swelling of cheeks and sometimes hypertrophy of maxilla with eyes tending to look up ; that looks like the Renaissance cherubs. It usually makes figures during childhood between 2-4 years of age and progresses until puberty, after which it spontaneously regresses 10 most cases. As a result of this case review, the management strategies for cherubismic children in standpoint of pediatic dentistry can be summarized as follows: 1. It can be detected early in childen through its characteristic clinical and radiographic features, which is confirmed by histopathological examination and familial history. 2. The supervision of arch space is required against its frequent sequelae, the early missing of primary teeth and eruption disorders of permanent teeth. 3. It is highly recommended to continue the periodic check-up with clinical and radiographic examination, leading to surgical intervention in cases of aggravation.
