A 9-month-old castrated male Korean Jindo was presented for evaluation of a progressive left forelimb lameness of 4 weeks' duration. On physical examination, the dog showed moderate weight bearing lameness on the left forelimb. Firm and mild swelling was palpated, and range of motion was decreased in the left elbow. Signs of pain were elicited by gentle flection and hyperextension of the left elbow. On radiographs, fragmentation of the medial coronoid process with moderate secondary degenerative joint disease was found. The bone fragments could be seen more clearly on stress radiograph of the left elbow joint which was taken while flexing the elbow and inwardly rotating the antebrachium. A medial elbow arthrotomy was performed, and the loose fragments were removed from the coronoid region. Left forelimb lameness improved markedly after surgery.

본 논문에서는 X-Ray 영상에서 발 뼈의 골절 영역을 분석 및 진단하기 위한 전단계로서 X-Ray 영상에서 뼈와 피부 영역을 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 X-Ray 영상의 피부 영역과 발 뼈 영역을 분할하기 위해 가우시안 필터를 적용하여 DOG 영상을 생성한다. 그러나 기존의 가우시안 필터는 정적으로 적용되기 때문에 영상을 촬영하는 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성이 달라지는 X-Ray 영상에 적용하기에 부적합하다. 따라서 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성 변화에 민감하지 않는 동적 가우시안 필터를 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안하는 동적 가우시안 필터와 기존의 정적인 가우시안 필터를 각각 적용하여 생성된 DOG 영상에 대해서 발 뼈 영역과 피부 영역을 분할하고, 효율성을 TPR과 특이도로 분석한 결과, 제안된 동적 가우시안 필터를 적용한 방법이 정적 가우시안 필터보다 평균적으로 TPR는 0.12%와 특이도는 평균적으로 0.36%가 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

Objective: This study was conducted to perform histomorphometric evaluations of the bone surrounding orthodontic miniscrews according to their proximity to the adjacent tooth roots in the posterior mandible of beagle dogs. Methods: Four male beagle dogs were used for this study. Six orthodontic miniscrews were placed in the interradicular spaces in the posterior mandible of each dog (n = 24). The implanted miniscrews were classified into no loading, immediate loading, and delayed loading groups according to the loading time. At 6 weeks after screw placement, the animals were sacrificed, and tissue blocks including the miniscrews were harvested for histological examinations. After analysis of the histological sections, the miniscrews were categorized into three additional groups according to the root proximity: high root proximity, low root proximity, and safe distance groups. Differences in the bone-implant contact (BIC, %) among the root proximity groups and loading time groups were determined using statistical analyses. Results: No BIC was observed within the bundle bone invaded by the miniscrew threads. Narrowing of the periodontal ligament space was observed in cases where the miniscrew threads touched the bundle bone. BIC (%) was significantly lower in the high root proximity group than in the low root proximity and safe distance groups. However, BIC (%) showed no significant differences among the loading time groups. Conclusions: Regardless of the loading time, the stability of an orthodontic miniscrew is decreased if it is in contact with the bundle bone as well as the adjacent tooth root.

Since the occlusal loading is transmitted to the surrounding bone, the success of an implant treatment is closely related to the distribution of the stress on the implant. The finite element analysis method is often used in order to produce a model for dispersion of stress. Assessment of the success of the implant is usually based on the degree of osseointegration which is a bone and implant surface interface. Implant used in this research was designed through the method of shape optimization after the stress on implant was anaylzed by the finite element analysis method. This study was pertinently assessed by a clinical, histologic, histomorphometric analysis after the shape optimized implant was installed on beagle dog tibia. The results are as follows 1. It clinically showed a good result without mobility and imflammatory reaction. 2. Implant was supported by dense bone and bone remodeling showed on the surrounding area of the implant 3. The average percentage of bone-implant contact was 58.1%.The percentage of bone density was 57.6%. Having above results, shape optimized implant showed the pertinence through clinical and histologic aspects. However, to use the shape optimized implant, the further experiment is required for finding problems, improvement.

This study was performed to evaluate the difference of the bone-to-implant contact according to the surface roughness of the implants. Two beagles were used in the experiment. Extraction of the all premolars was performed in the mandible. In 3 months of healing, screw-shaped pure titanium machined surface implants (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea), implants blasted with 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles, (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea) and implants blasted with 100${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea) in diameter 3.4mm and length 6mm were installed in the edentulous mandible. Each dog was sacrificed at 4, 12 weeks after placement and then nondecalcified specimens were prepared for histologic analysis. The results of this study were as follows. 1. At 4 , 12 weeks after the surgery, bone-to-implant contact in the surface blasted with $TiO_2$ particles was higher than that in the pure titanium machined surface respectively. 2. Osseointegration in the surface blasted with 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles was more increased than that in the surface blasted with 100${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles. 3. Bone-to-implant contact was increased with time independent of surface roughness. 4. Bone formation was in the outfolded area more than inside the threads independent of surface roughness. From the above results, we were able t o find the most bone-to-implant contact in 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ blasted implant.

The success or failure of endosseous dental implants is related to the cellular activity at the implant surface. Success seems to be associated with the enclosure of the implant in a non-inflammed connective tissue or the formation of a direct bone implant interface. The purpose of this study was to examine the tissue reactions to the various implants at the submergible state in dog mandible. The $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Intergral, Bone spiral were selected for evaluation and also the Kimplant, Nephrite were used for the experimental study. After 4 months the animals were sacrificed. The interface zone between bone and implant was investigated using x-rays, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Kimplant, Integral showed no mobility and bone growth over the healing screws of the implants. Histologically most of the implant surface were covered by remodelled lamellar bone, and partly by a cellular layer or the thin fibrous tissue layer. 2. The Bone spiral showed no mobility and partially radiolucent line around the implant. The upper part of the implant was surrounded by a thin fibrous connective tissue and the middle, apical part of it were contacted with bone directly. 3. The Nephrite implant showed severe mobility and a radiolucent line around the implant. Histologically it showed mild inflammation and was surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue. 4. Scanning electron microscope showed that there was no amorphous ground substance in the Nephrite implant but the formation of ground substance over the collagen filaments in other implants. 5. Transmission electron microscope showed that collagen filaments were approached irregularly to the surface of all implants and in the $Br\"{a}nemark$, Core-Vent, Kimplant, Integral there was amorphous layer between the implant and the collagen filaments. It seemed to be ground substances.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate new bone formation following guided bone regeneration by resorbable and nonresorbable membrane. Six adult mongrel dogs were used. The first, second, third, fourth premolars in the mandible of each dog were extracted. Two months after tooth extraction, a buccal dehiscence defect was surgically created on each edentulous area. The experimental sites were divided into three groups according to the treatment modalities ; Group I-a: surgical treatment only ; Group I -b: allogenic decalcified freezed dried bone grafting ; Group II-a : e- PTFE membrane placement only ; Group II-b : allogenic decalcified freezed dried bone grafting and e-PTFE membrane placement ; Group III-a : Vicryl(R) mesh placement only ; Group III-b : allogenic decalcified freezed dried bone grafting and Vicryl(R) mesh placement . The animals were sacrificed at 8 weeks after operation and the specimens were prepared for histologic and histometric examination. The results were as follows : Clinically, all defect sites were healed without exposure of barrier membrane after the eight weeks. In Group I-a, dense connective tissues were impinged in the bony defect area. Well vascularized and fibrous bone marrow indicated that bone formation was still taking place was found. In Group I-b, in areas closer to the periphery, lamellation of the newly formed bone would found. In Group II-a, beneath the e-PTFE membrane a dense layer of connective tissue covering the most external portions of the regenerated tissue was seen. The new bone surfaces were lined with osteoid and osteoblast. In Group II-b, a dense layer of connective tissue covering the most external portions of the regenerated tissue was observed beneath the e-PTFE membrane. A notable amount of alveolar ridge regeneration was seen with new rigdes with well-contoured form. In Group III-a, the new bone surface were lined with osteoid and osteoblast, indicating active bone formation. A clear demarcation could not be noted between the host bone and new bone. In Group III-b, a notable amount of alveolar ridge regeneration was seen with new ridges assuming wellcontoured form. In areas closer to the periphery, lamellation of the newly formed bone would found. As histometric examination, the amount of bone formation was gained from $12.8mm^2$ to $26.3mm^2$. It was significantly greater in group II-b and group III-b compared to other groups(p<0.05) . These results suggest that Vicryl(R) mesh after DFDB grafting used in guided bone regeneration could create and sustain sufficient space for new bone formation.

An eight-year-old, castrated male, Poodle dog was presented with a bite wound in the neck region. Clinical examination revealed non-ambulatory signs of tetraparesis with deep pain, and upper motor neuron changes in all limbs. Fractures of the transverse process of C1 and the dorsal spinous process of C2 were observed on the radiographs and the computed tomography (CT). Conservative therapy was performed for 1 week. However the neurological problems were not alleviated until 7 days after injury. The owners agreed to perform surgical stabilization. The surgical stabilization was performed 7 days after presentation. Ventral stabilization was performed with screws, K-wires and bone cement. The dog stood up independently after 4 weeks and was able to walk 6 weeks postoperatively. In this report we suggest that using combined stabilization techniques are effective for this type of cervical fracture in which the dorsal and ventral structures of the vertebra are severely disrupted.
