  • In evaluation of some area within the craniofacial complex posteroanterior cephalogram together with lateral cephalogram is used for assessment of the exact existence and posture by grasping 3-dimensional concept. The usages of posteroanterior cephalogram in orthodontics are following; 1. The use during diagnosis and treatment planning 1) Assessment of the area and amount of facial asymmetry. 2) Assessment of therapeutic position for diagnosis and treatment 2. The Assessment of success in orthodontic mechanics If we use posteroanterior cephalogram together with lateral cephalogram adequately and simultaneously we can establish the exact diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.

  • Although there are many patients who suffer from cold hypersensitivity and have a difficult time in living daily lives due to feeling cold at room temperature, it is about true that an accurate diagnostic method and an effective remedy for a cold hypersensitivity have not been developed yet. Therefore, in order to develop traditional medicine equipment for cold hypersensitivity, we have designed new oxygen chamber system which can diagnose cold hypersensitivity with multiple bionic sensors and supply a patient optimum amount of oxygen adaptively to the extent of their illness. In particular, diverging from conventional diagnosis based on the experience of doctor and subjective statements of patient, we introduced accurate method for diagnosis in comparing between output of multiple sensors and threshold derived from clinical trials. After all, the proposed oxygen chamber system will contribute to achieving scientific evidence and manufacturing of korean traditional medicine.

  • Thyroid radiology practice is a medical practice in which thyroid diseases are diagnosed using imaging modality and treated by imaging-based interventional techniques, and the primary care target is thyroid nodular disease. Diagnosis of thyroid nodules is primarily done by ultrasound imaging and biopsy; thyroid nodules can be treated by non-surgical interventional treatment and thyroidectomy. Ethanol ablation is the first-line treatment for cystic benign nodules, and radiofrequency ablation is used for the treatment of benign solid nodules and recurrent thyroid cancers. Thyroid radiology practice has an essential clinical role in diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of thyroid nodular diseases, and treatment should be performed based on standard care guidelines for proper patient care. In order to provide the best care to patients with thyroid nodular disease, it is desirable to treat patients in the radiology outpatient clinic. Thyroid radiology practice centered on outpatient clinic practice needs to be expanded.

  • 서 론 : 두경부암의 예후에 가장 중요한 인자는 진단시 병기와 치료 후 재발의 유무이다. 따라서, 재발 병변을 조기에 발견하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 두경부암 환자의 추적 관찰에서 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT의 유용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2004년 4월부터 2008년 8월까지 고려대 안암병원에서 두경부암으로 치료를 완료한 후 추적관찰이 가능하였던 88 예의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 환자는 본원의 두경부암 추적관찰 양식에 따라 술 후 6, 12개월째 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT를 시행하였으며, 원발부위 및 경부 재발, 원격전이와 중복암의 진단에 있어 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT의 민감도, 특이도, 양성예측율, 음성예측율을 평가하였고, 기존의 추적관찰 방법과 이를 비교하였다. 결 과 : 원발부위 재발의 진단에 있어 민감도, 특이도, 양성예측율, 음성예측율은 각각 95%, 97%, 90%, 98% 였다. 경부전이 재발의 진단에 있어서는 각각 94%, 98%, 83%, 99%였으며, 원격전이 및 이차암 진단에 있어서는 94%, 100%, 100%, 99%였다. 원발부위 재발은 고식적인 진단 방법, 원격전이와 이차암은 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT가 진단에 의미있게 유리하였다. 결 론 : $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT는 두경부암의 추적관찰 과정에서 재발 여부를 판정하는데 있어 매우 유용하며, 특히 원격전이 및 이차암의 발견에 있어 유용하다. 그러나, 위양성 및 위음성의 가능성으로 고식적인 진단 방법과 병행해야 진단의 효과를 높힐 것으로 생각된다.

Efficacy of Arthroscopic Diagnosis and Treatment for Acute Complete Metacarpophalangeal Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears of the Thumb (무지 중수 수지 관절 척측 측부 인대 급성 완전 파열의 진단 및 치료에 대한 관절경의 유용성)

  • Purpose: Complete rupture of metacarpophalangeal ulnar collateral ligament of thumb needs surgical exploration and repair, owing to the interposition of the adductor aponeurosis (Stener lesion) which interferes in healing process. We performed arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment on ulnar collateral ligament injury of thumb and evaluated it's efficiency. Materials and Methods: Arthroscopy was perfomed on 13 patients of whom injured on complete ruture of metacarpophalangeal ulnar collateral ligament. Follow-up period was over 1 year and mean age was 35.6 years old. Ulnar collateral ligament tears and Stener lesion were diagnosed and treated by arthroscopy procedure. Results were interpreted by joint instability, pinch power, grip power and range of motion on metacarpophalangeal joint of thumb. Results: We found 5 Stener lesions in 13 cases. There was no appreciable postoperative instability. Pinch and grip power were recovered to 92%, 94% of uninjured thumb respectively. Range of motion on metacarpophalangeal joint was mean $52^{\circ}$, almost equal to uninjured thumb. Conclusions: Arthroscopic treatment in metacapophalangeal ulnar collateral ligament injury of thumb is useful method that Stener lesion can be clearly comfirmed and treated. Also soft tissue injuries can be minimized, thereby early functional recovery can be expected.
