Purpose: Breast cancer is known to be more vulnerable to bone metastasis and lymph node metastasis than other types of cancer, and nuclear examinations whole body bone scan and lymphoscintigraphy are performed commonly before and after breast cancer operation. In case whole body bone scan is performed on the day before lymphoscintigraphy, the radiopharmaceutical taken into and remaining in the bones provides anatomical information for tracking and locating sentinel lymph nodes. Thus, this study purposed to examine how much bone density affects in locating sentinel lymph nodes. Materials and Methods: The subjects of this study were 22 patients (average age $52{\pm}7.2$) who had whole body bone scan and lymphoscintigraphy over two days in our hospital during the period from January to December, 2009. In the blind test, 22 patients (average age $57{\pm}6.5$) who had lymphoscintigraphy using $^{57}Co$ flood phantom were used as a control group. In quantitative analysis, the relative ratio of the background to sentinel lymph nodes was measured by drawing ROIs on sentinel lymph nodes and the background, and in gross examination, each of a nuclear physician and a radiological technologist with five years' or longer field experience examined images through blind test in a five-point scale. Results: In the results of quantitative analysis, the relative ratio of the background to sentinel lymph nodes was 14.2:1 maximum and 8.5:1 ($SD{\pm}3.48$) on the average on the front, and 14.7:1 maximum and 8.5:1 ($SD{\pm}3.42$) on the average on the side. In the results of gross examination, when $^{57}Co$ flood phantom images were compared with images containing bones, the score was relative high as 3.86 ($SD{\pm}0.35$) point for $^{57}Co$ flood phantom images and 4.09 ($SD{\pm}0.42$) for bone images. Conclusion: When whole body bone scan was performed on the day before lymphoscintigraphy, the ratio of the background to sentinel lymph nodes was over 10:1, so there was no problem in locating lymph nodes. In addition, we expect to reduce examination procedures and improve the quality of images by indicating the location of sentinel lymph nodes using bone images as body contour without the use of a source.

UR, WTO에 의해 지난 1997년 국내 닭고기 시장이 전면 개방된 이후 매년 닭고기 수입은 급속도로 증가해왔으며, 2003년말 고병원성 조류인플루엔자가 발병되기 전까지만 해도 수입 닭고기는 국내 닭고기 시장의 약 30%를 점유하는 등 국내 닭고기 시장을 크게 위협했다. 특히 미국의 경우 자국 내에서는 인기부위인 가슴육 위주로 소비하고 비 인기부위인 다리육은 우리나라에 덤핑가격으로 수출해 국내 닭고기 시장을 더욱 혼란스럽게 했다. 반면 국내 소비자는 미국, EU 등 선진국과는 달리 닭다리를 선호하여 다리육은 부족하고 가슴육은 남아도는 구조를 가지고 있어 우리 역시 남아도는 닭 가슴육을 이들 국가에 수출해야 할 필요성이 절실하게 요구돼 왔다. 게다가 현재 협상 중인 한 · 미 FTA가 체결되어 이로 인해 미국산 닭고기 수입에 대한 관세가 철폐될 경우 국내 닭고기 시장에 미치는 영향이 적지 않은 것으로 분석됨에 따라 국내닭고기 시장에 미치는 영향을 최소화 하고, 나아가 국내 육계산업의 경쟁력 확보를 위해서는 대미 닭고기 수출의 필요성은 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 이에 필자는 지난 9월 9일부터 16일까지 8일간 미국 워싱턴 D.C 미국 농무성 식품안전검사처(FSIS) 국제업무국(OIA) 등을 방문해 한국의 가축방역 및 축산물 위생검사제도에 대해 설명하고, 대미 삼계탕 수출을 위해 담당자와 기술적 내용을 협의했다. 본고에서는 그날 협의한 내용들을 간략하게 요약하여 게재코자 한다.

Perpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the measuring method in radius of eyeglasses lens curvature by using keratometer in noncontact method. Methods: A trial lens for vision test in diopter range from -9.00 D to -11.50 D were attached in front part of keratometer, after that we set eyeglasses lens at the place where eyeglasses lens is apart about 25 cm from front position of keratometer. We measured the radius of curvature from observation of clear mire image while the position of eyeglasses lens is changed in a small quantity. After that, we made some formulas for compensation of radius of curvature by using spherometer. Results: The radius of curvature was successfully measured by keratometer with trial lens in front part of it. The measured radius of curvature was changed to compensation value using spherometer data, and the 5 kind of linear equation to make compensation value was made. Any kind of lenses measured by using keratometer that trial lens was attached in front part of it, after that it was confirmed that the result of calculation from line equation is exact in error ratio below 3.5%. Conclusions: It was confirmed that radius of eyeglasses lens curvature can be measured by using keratometer by noncontact method, and the accuracy is higher than "lens measure".

기존의 안과 진단 및 치료 기기의 안구 고정장치는 진단 및 치료에 있어서 피검사자와 검사자에 사이에 충분한 협조가 되지 않을 경우 진단의 비효율성과 치료의 안정성등의 문제가 발생하고있다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위하여 SLO의 전면 세극등을 소형의 반사경으로 대치하고 표시등을 후면의 먼거리에 수직으로 배열시켜서 피검사자에게 적당한 높이의 고정등을 선택하게하여 수직방향의 안구 위치를 고정시키고 SLO(Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope)의 좌우 회전기능으로 표적의 수평방향을 근절시킨 후에 검사자의 조작으로 원격조정되는 서보장치를 이용하여 다시 반사경을 전방향으로 미세하게 회전되게하여 정확한 위치로 안구를 이동시키게 하는 원격조정 표적 추적장치를 개발하였다. 이에 따라 피검사자는 거울에 비친 먼거리의 허상을 보게 되어 세극등을 이용한 근접주사방식의 단점인 안구의 축동, 폭주등으로 인한 환자의 눈의 피로를 최소화하면서 피검사자의 안구를 검사자가 원하는 위치로 고정시킬 수 있게 함으로써 임상실험에서 안과 진단의 정확성과 관리도를 높이고 치료의 효율성과 안전성을 증가시킬 수 있는 원격조정 추적장치로써의 성능을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the skirt grading rule for different somatotypes. For this study 9 subjects were classified three types according to the shape of front hips such as diamond, standard, heart. Skirts pattern were made by Moonwha grading method for traditional grading rule. For each somatotypes, skirt pattern were graded by new grading rule. The sensory evaluations were practiced for appearance and function. At the result, comparing between the new grading rule and traditional grading rule, new grading rule was fitter than the traditional grading rule. And diamond type was distinctively better than the other somatotype at sensory evaluation appearance. For pattern making of diamond type it had better use the new grading rule that was considered the characteristics of body shape.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the medial joint space on weight bearing simple X-ray and the ultrasonographic articular cartilage thickness. Materials and Methods: The articular cartilage thickness of 91 osteoarthritic knees of 73 patients were measured with weight bearing simple X-ray and ultrasonography between June 2010 and September 2010. Male were 13 and female were 60. Right knees were 35, left knees were 20 and bilateral involvements were 18. Medial joint spaces on X-ray were measured in full extension view and $45^{\circ}$ PA(Rosenberg) view. Femoral cartilage thicknesses at and those at the point between the middle 1/3 and posterior 1/3 area were measured by ultrasonography, that were scanned coronally at $30^{\circ}$ flexion and $130^{\circ}$ flexion respectively. The results were analyzed statistically by Pearson correlation test and Bland-Altman plot test. Results: Medial joint spaces measured in full extension view and femoral articular cartilage thicknesses at the point between the anterior 1/3 and middle 1/3 area measured with sonography were statistically correlated and medial joint spaces measured in $45^{\circ}$ PA view and those at the point between the middle 1/3 and posterior 1/3 area measured with sonography were also correlated (P<0.05, $SD{\pm}2$). Conclusion: The measurement of articular cartilage thicknesses by the ultrasonography was easy even in the patient who are unable to take weight bearing view and was thought to be a useful diagnostic and follow up method to examine the degenerative change in addition to simple radiographic examination in the knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery can be performed with the lung collapsed. During the procedure, pleural adhesion may result in lung injury, bleeding, and thoracotomy conversion. Identifying the presence of pleural adhesion before surgery can make it easy to plan trocar introduction and perform the procedure. Material and Method: Between June 2009 and November 2009, we performed ultrasound in 24 patients to detect pleural adhesion before surgery and compared the results with the operative findings. We primarily examined the lateral chest, where the trocar would be inserted, and, occasionally, the anterior or posterior chest. Result: Patient diseases were: 6 hyperhidroses, 8 interstitial lung diseases, 5 lung cancers, 2 mediastinal tumors, 1 peripheral pulmonary embolism, 1 metastatic lung cancer, and 1 sarcoidosis. Of the 22 patients who did not have pleural adhesions on ultrasound, four revealed mild adhesions not related to the trocar insertion sites. However, ultrasound showed pleural adhesions in two patients, consistent with the operative findings. There was no air leak or thoracotomy conversion related with trocar insertion. Conclusion: Ultrasound requires only a few minutes to detect the presence of the pleural adhesion and was very useful in identifying the pleural adhesion before VATS.
