To analogize the result of the test through explaining the correlation of bone mineral density (BMD) test value between proximal femur and lumbar spine at age. It is based on 62 cases who visited the out-patient department. They were classified into three groups by age, group I (30~40 yr) and II (40~60 yr) and III (60~80 yr). Then we evaluated the average and the degree of correlation between the three groups and analyzed the correlation of the three sites according to the BMD result and T & Z-score through the t-test analysis. The results are listed below, first, if rise in age T-score is lower and over 60age occurred osteopenia, second, compared three groups, the correlation of BMD results was some of the highest between Lumbar spine and Proximal femur of T-score & Z-score. the correlation of BMD results is very high. It is regarded that there will be a clinical availability which can analogize the result of a part by using the result of the other part.

The acute Achilles tendon rupture usually occurs to the people who participate in sports-related activities between 30 and 40 years of age. Recently surgical repair is the standard treatment in acute Achilles tendon rupture. After the Achilles tendon rupture in the left ankle, a 30-years old young man had been suffered from re-rupturing within three months after the primary repair. 2 years later, right-side Achilles tendon was reruptured after primary repair consequently. In the revision surgery, we performed V-Y advancement of the gastrocnemius-soleus fascia and reinforcement of the semitendinosus tendon. None of the English-literature was reported about using the semitendinosus tendon in revision surgery of the Achilles tendon retear previously. Therefore, we report this case and surgical technique because of the simple technique and the excellent results.

Purpose: The hepatobiliary scan is the examination which is the possibility of knowing the function of liver, gall bladder and closing of the biliary tract. Also, after subtotal gastrectomy, the increased gastric-bile reflux is known as the primary reason of reflux gastritis. In this study, according to changing the acquisition method, we tried to prove the reflux time and reflux index in patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy. Materials and Methods: From Oct 2008 to Jan 2009, 72 patients with subtotal gastrectomy who took the hepatobiliary scan (man: 52, woman: 20, age range: 31-77, mean age: $60.5{\pm}7$) in our department. We used the radiopharmaceutical $^{99m}Tc$-mebrofenin 185 MBq/0.5 cc. After 5 minutes, we acquired 300,000 counts anterior image on supine, and then we acquired right lateral and $45^{\circ}$ LAO position by using the time setting method. We acquired 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min and fatty meal by the same method. We painted the ROI of liver, GB and CBD on 30 min anterior image and LAO image in patients had occurred the bile juice reflux. And then we painted the ROI of stomach on others image. We calculated the reflux index from those values. Results: According to this study, we found out 40 patients (55.6%) who had occurred the gastric-bile juice reflux (1 person from 30 min, 7 persons from 60 min, 4 persons from 90 min, 28 persons from after fatty meal). Hourly, the bile reflux highest level is 6 persons from 60 min, 2 persons from 90 min, 32 persons from fatty meal among those people. The reflux index of anterior is 0.85-23.36% (mean 6.53%). The reflux index of LAO is 1-29.13% (mean 8.89%). By visual assessment, we can distinguish that there were 26 of the 40 patients (65%) had occurred the reflux on LAO image more than anterior image. Conclusion: We find out that the patients with subtotal gastrectomy had occurred gastric-bile juice reflux more than 50% from hepatobiliary scan. And after eating fatty meal, we can know that it's the most possible to occur the gastric-bile juice reflux. When it happened, we have to change the acquisition method to reduce the overlap between colon and stomach. This study will be more valuable in diagnosis.
