Magnetic properties through controlled nucleation and crystallization wer studied for ferrimagnetic 40Fe2O3-20CaO-40SiO2 glass useful as thermoseeds for hyperthermia of tumor therapy. The maximum nucleation and crystal growth temperature are $700^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. The glass showed the maximum saturation magnetization of 168.4 emu/cm3 when nucleated $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and crystal grown at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs. The maximum coercive force was 390 Oe when uncleated $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and crystal grown at 975$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The variation of the saturation magnetization could be well quantitatively interpreted in terms of the volume fraction of the magnetite whereas that of the coercive forces could be explained only qual.itatively in terms of the particle size of the magnetite. Hysteresis losses showed the maximum value of 0.18W/cm3 when heat treated at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs pre-necleated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 min and temperature increase of 7K under AC magnetic field of 10 kOe and 10kHz.

It was the purpose of present study to develop a new thermoseed for heating deep-seated tumors and assessment of the effect of magnetic control on thermoseeds. Aqueous suspension of iron micro spheres (Ferropolysaccharide) was injected directly into the VX-2 hepatoma and heated with 1.2 MHz inductive radiofrequency unit. Aqueous thermoseed suspension was delivered to the tumor by simple percutaneous injection. The limitation of the thermoseed heating method is the positional change of thermoseed particles in the tumor after implantation. The thermoseed particles could enter the systemic blood circulation and cause a severe embolization of a critical organ. To minimize this limitation, we have used the magnetic control after loading the thermoseed in the tumor, W hen ferropolysaccharides were exposed to a strong magnetic field, they magnetized and subsequently exerted a magnetic force on each other, forming larger aggregates of particles. The size of aggregated Particles were too big to enter the systemic blood circulation. Thus, unlike other thermoseed method, we hold the thermoseed particles stationary in the tumor. The temperature of the injected site and immediate vicinity elevated by $4-5^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the surrounding normal hepatic tissue elevated by $1-2^{circ}C$ only. The heating effect within the tumor was variable depending on the density of ferromagnetic aqueous suspension. Our results suggest that inductive heating of tumor injected with ferropolysaccharide solution offers the possibility of effective heat delivery to the defined tumor volume, which is difficult to heat with other heating devices.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical results of thermo-irradiation treatment for surgically unresectable advanced hepatoma with or without hepatic arterial chemo-embolization (HACE), chemotherapy (CT) and interferon (IFN) therapy. Materials and Methods : Between February 1990 and December 1992, 45 Patients with surgically unresectable advanced hepatomas were treated by thermo-irradiation with or without hepatic arterial chemo-embolization and other treatment modalities. Among them, We analyzed retrospectively 25 patients who received more than three times of hyperthermias. Mean age was 50 years (range : 18-71 years) and male to female ratio was 20 : 5. In the study, treatment was administered as follows : 3 patients received radiation therapy(RT) and hyperthermia (HT). 3 received RT+HT+CT. 3 received RT+HT+HACE. 1 received RT+HT+CT+HACE. 2 received RT+HT+CT+IFN. 10 received RT+HT+HACE+IFN. 3 received RT+HT+CT+HACE+IFN. Radiation therapy was done by a 6 MV linear accelerator Patients were treated with daily fractions of 180 cGy to doses of 11Gy-50Gy (median 30Gy). Local hyperthermia was done by HEH-500C(Omron Co. Japan), 30-45 min/session, 2 sessions/wk and the number of HT sessions ranged from 3 to 17 (median 7 times). 15 patients of 25 were followed by abdominal CT scan or abdominal ultra-sonogram. The following factors were analyzed :Age, histologic grade, sex. number of hyperthermia, total RT dose, hepatic arterial chemo-embolization. Results : Of 25 patients. there were observed tumor regression (partial response and minimal response) in 6 (24$ \% $), no response in 8 (32$ \% $), progression in 1 (4$ \% $) and not evaluable ones in 10 (40$ \% $) radiographically. The over all 1-year survival was 25$ \% $, with a mean survival of 33 weeks. The treatment modes of partial and minimal responsive patients (PR+MR)were as follows : Two were treated with RT+HT+HACE, 2 were done with RT+HT+HACE+IFN Remaining 2 were treated with RT+HT+CT+HACE+IFN. The significant factor affecting the survival rate were RT dose (more than 25 Gy), HACE, number of HT (above 6 times), responsiveness after treatment (PR + MR). Age, sex, histologic differentiation, chemotherapy, interferon therapy were not statistically significant factors affecting the survival rate. Conclusion : Although follow-up duration was short, the thermo-irr3diBtion with/without hepatic arterial chemo-embolization was well tolerated and there were no serious complicatons. In future, it is considered the longer follow up and prospective, well controlled trials should be followed to evaluate the efficacies of survival advantage.

Modified coaxial-slot antenna for minimally invasive microwave thermal therapy for liver tumor is studied in this paper. Minimally invasive microwave antenna in medicine are applied for hyperthermia for medical treatment for cancer, cardiac catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias treatments, microwave treatment of Benign prostatic hypertrophy, and so on. Microwave hyperthermal ablation for liver tumors is expected for enthusiasts as an alternative to curative surgical resection. Tumors have to heated up to 60 degree C to coagulate .cancer cells but less than 100 degree C to avoid evaporation. Temperature dependence of properties of the tissues should be considered for wide range of treatment. Electrical properties of liver tissue were measured for different temperatures. SAR distribution around the antenna into the liver are simulated using Remcom's XFDTD.

A laser moxibustion therapy device having effect similar to that of traditional moxibustion is being developed using 1064 nm infrared laser. The therapy device allows direct interaction of laser light with the tissue rendering temperature distribution both on the skin surface and deep under the skin. We made a device that could measure temperature of deep under the surface of agar gel tissue phantom using thermocouples. A thermal imaging camera was used to verify results from the temperature measurement device. We compared the characteristics of heat transfer inside the tissue phantom during moxibustion and laser irradiation. The temperature distribution measured by thermocouples was found to be similar to that of distribution given by thermal imaging camera.

Brachytherapy is known to be a good modality to achieve local control as a boost treatment following limited external irradiation, which may reduce the external beam related complication particularly in head and neck cancer. The authors developed iridium-192 ribbons recently to replace the radium needles in the field of brachytherapy. Total of 48 cases of head and neck and pelvic-perineal cancer patients had been treated with Ir-192 ribbons during last two years from October 1986 to September 1988, and the results were analyzed to assess the applicability of the fabricated sources. The conclusion is as follows; 1. Iridium implant resulted excellent tumor control effect in clinical application. 2. Iridium is superior than radium and cecium in brachytherapy because of easier to use and lesser exposure to the personnel. 3. Afterloading technique is useful to modify dose distribution, to expand treatment site and method, and to develop interstitial hyperthermia.

본 연구는 국소온열요법(Local Hyperthermia)에 사용되는 발열체(Thermo-rod)의 온도에 따른 세포성장률의 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 연구에 사용된 발열체는 듀플렉스 스테인리스 강(Duplex Stainless Steel)을 이용하여 개발되었다. 세포성장률을 관찰하기 위하여 CPAE세포와 Osteoblast세포를 이용하였다. 각각의 세포를 well에 분주 후 3일, 6일, 9일, 12일, 15일 동안 배양만 한 군을 대조군으로 하고 well에 발열체를 식립 후 세포를 분주하여 3일 간격(3일, 6일, 9일, 12일, 15일)으로 하루 30분 유도가열을 실시하여 15일 간 배양한 군을 시험군으로 하였다. CPAE세포와 Osteoblast세포의 성장률을 관찰한 결과 두세포 모두 3일의 대조군과 시험군 모두 세포 성장률이 급격히 상승하다 6일의 대조군과 시험군 모두 급격히 감소하고 9일과 12일 그리고 15일의 대조군과 시험군의 성장률은 불규칙하게 감소하였다. 이러한 성장률 관찰 결과 두종의 세포 모두 약 $41^{\circ}C$의 온도를 가한 시험군과 온도를 가하지 않은 대조군의 차이가 없다. 따라서 CPAE세포와 Osteoblast세포는 발열체에 의한 온도(약 $41^{\circ}C$)에 영향이 없는 것으로 판단된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Su-Gi therapy for Bell's palsy by using DITI. Methods : We investigated 16 patients with Bell's palsy who had visited in the H Korean medicine hospital in Gyeonggi Province from December 27th, 2010 to April 8th, 2015. The Su-Gi therapy was done by 1 times daily. We evaluated the change of them by using Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging and Yanagihara's unweighted grading system. Results : There aren't meaningful differences in values for the meridian points in pretest and posttest which were observed by DITI of abnormal side and normal side. There are meaningful differences in values, for abnormal side and normal side of the meridian points in pretest and posttest of DITI. It was of significance that pretest Y and average ΔT of each the meridian points in the type of hyperthermia but not in the type of hypothermia. In the Correlation analysis of values of pretest and posttest, chaotic aspects of body heat distribution in the pretest change as a relatively consistent aspects in the posttest. It wasn't of significance that Correlation Analysis of Ups and downs in temperature of TE17 and Recovery speed observed by ΔY. In simple regression analysis of posttest's Y-system values against absolute ΔT by subtracting ΔTE17 from ΔST6, we didn't predict in the pretest, but could predict significantly in the posttest(Regression coefficient : -2.11) In the regression analysis result of the meridian points' ||pretest ΔT|-|posttest ΔT||, 陽白(GB14) and 頰車(ST6) are of significance (Total R-Square=0.447). But we couldn't obtain final regression analysis model. Conclusions: These results suggest that Su-Gi therapy may be effective for Bell's palsy.

In order to improve the control of large unresectable(>6cm) and fixed N3(TNM-UICC) metastatic neck nodes, local hyperthermia(HT) has been combined with radiation therapty (RT) in Yonsei cancer center. From April 1985 to april 1988, a total of 18 patients of head and neck cancer with metastatic large unresectable and fixed cervical neck nodes who underwent combined RT and HT were analyzed. Of 18 patients, complete response rate was 39% (7 pt.) partial response 39% (7 pt.) and overall response rate was 78%. Acute side effects of these combined modalities were found in 8 patients and which were mainly cutaneous reaction such as erythema, dry and moist desquamation but recovered spontaneously in all patients after treatment. Factors of maximum tumor temperature above $43^{\circ}\C$ and MDF(multiple daily fractionation) showed more favorable response rate but not statistically sinificant. Two year actuarial survival rate of all patients was 35.4%.
