Background Ultrasonic dissection devices cause less thermal damage to the surrounding tissue than monopolar electrosurgical devices. We compared the effects of using an ultrasonic dissection device or an electrocautery device during prosthetic breast reconstruction on seroma development and short-term postoperative complications. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent implant-based reconstruction following mastectomy between March 2017 and September 2018. Mastectomy was performed by general surgeons and reconstruction by plastic surgeons. From March 2017 to January 2018, a monopolar electrosurgical device was used, and an ultrasonic dissection device was used thereafter. The other surgical methods were the same in both groups. Results The incidence of seroma was lower in the ultrasonic dissection device group than in the electrocautery group (11 [17.2%] vs. 18 [31.0%]; P=0.090). The duration of surgery, total drainage volume, duration of drainage, overall complication rate, surgical site infection rate, and flap necrosis rate were comparable between the groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk of seroma development was significantly lower in the ultrasonic dissection device group than in the electrocautery group (odds ratio for electrocautery, 3.252; 95% confidence interval, 1.242-8.516; P=0.016). Conclusions The findings of this study suggest that the incidence of seroma can be reduced slightly by using an ultrasonic dissection device for prosthesis-based breast reconstruction. However, further randomized controlled studies are required to verify our results and to assess the cost-effectiveness of this technique.

Background: Physicians tend to overcorrect when applying the acellular dermal matrix for reconstructive option because of volume decrement problem after absorption comparing with initial volume. However, there are no studies on the exact volume decrement and absorption rate with commercial products in South Korea. To figure out absorption rate of acellular dermal matrix product in South Korea (Megaderm), authors designed this experiment. Methods: Nine mice were used and randomly divided into three groups by the time with sacrificing. The implant (Megaderm) was tailored to fit a cuboid form ($1.0cm{\times}1.0cm$ in length and width and 2.0 mm in thickness). A skin incision was made at anterior chest with blade #15 scalpel with exposing the pectoralis major muscle. As hydrated Megaderm was located upon the pectoralis major muscle, the skin was sutured with Ethilon #5-0. After the surgical procedure, each animal group was sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively, for biopsies and histological analysis of the implants. All samples were stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining and the thickness were measured. A measurements were analyzed using Friedman test. Statistically, the correlation between thicknesses of Megaderm before and after implantation was analyzed. Results: After sacrificing the animal groups at postoperative 4, 8, 12 weeks, the mean tissue thickness values were $2.10{\pm}1.03mm$, $2.17{\pm}0.21mm$, and $2.40{\pm}0.20mm$ (p= 0.368), respectively. The remaining ratios after absorption comparing with after initial hydrated Megaderm were 82.7%, 85.4%, and 94.5%, respectively. In histopathological findings, neovascularization and density of collagenous fiber was increased with time. Conclusion: Author's hypothesis was absorption rate of implant would be increased over time. But in this experiment, there is no statistical significance between mean absorption thickness of implant and the time (p= 0.368). Also it can be affected by graft site, blood supply, and animals that were used in the experiment.

목적: 일반 수술용 침대와 길이가 짧은 대퇴 주대(short stem)를 이용하여 인공 고관절 전 치환술을 직접 전방 도달법(direct anterior approach, DAA)을 이용하여 시행하고, 임상적 영상의학적 결과를 변형된 전 측방 도달법(modified Hardinge; anterolateral approach, ALA)을 시행한 경우와 비교하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 1월부터 2015년 11월까지 단일 술자가 DAA로 인공 고관절 전 치환술을 시행한(DAA group) 102명(102예)과 동 수의 ALA를 사용한 환자(ALA group)를 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 수술시간과 출혈량을 비교하였고, 수술 후 통증의 개선 정도와 보행 능력 및 고관절의 기능 회복을 알아보았다. 영상의학적으로 비구 컵과 대퇴 주대의 삽입 위치를 평가하였고, 두 군 간에 발생한 합병증을 알아보았다. 결과: 출혈량은 DAA group에서 유의하게 적었다(p=0.018). 수술 후 3주까지는 하지 근력의 회복이 DAA group에서 유의하게 높았다(굴곡/신전력 p=0.023, 외전력 p=0.031). Harris hip score를 이용한 기능 평가는 3개월까지(p≤0.001), Koval score를 이용한 보행 능력 평가는 6주까지(p≤0.001) DAA group에서 유의하게 나은 결과를 보였고, visual analogue scale score를 이용한 통증의 개선은 7일까지는 DAA group에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.035). 비구 컵의 경사각(p≤0.001)과 전염각(p≤0.001)은 DAA group에서 ALA group보다 더 안정 범위에 위치하였고, 대퇴 주대의 위치와 하지 길이는 통계적 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. DAA group에서 수술 중 2예의 대전자 골절이 발생하였다(p=0.155). 결론: 길이가 짧은 대퇴 주대를 이용하여 일반 수술 침대에서 시행하는 DAA는 수술 후 조기 기능 회복을 보이며, 술자에게 친숙한 해부학적 자세로 수술 중 영상 증폭기 사용이 간편하여 원하는 위치에 인공 관절물을 삽입하는 것과 하지 부동 방지에 유용한 도달법으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The entry of bacteria or harmful substances through the epithelial seal of human gingival keratinocytes (HGKs) in the junctional epithelium (JE) is blocked by specialized intercellular junctions such as E-cadherin junctions (ECJs). However, the influence of roughened substrates, which may occur due to apical migration of the JE, root planing, or peri-implantitis, on the development of the ECJs of HGKs remains largely unknown. Methods: HGKs were cultured on substrates with varying levels of roughness, which were prepared by rubbing hydrophobic polystyrene dishes with silicon carbide papers. The activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was inhibited with SP600125 or by transfection with JNK short hairpin RNA. The development of intercellular junctions was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy or confocal laser scanning microscopy after immunohistochemical staining of the cells for E-cadherin. The expression level of phospho-JNK was assessed by immunoblotting. Results: HGKs developed tight intercellular junctions devoid of wide intercellular gaps on smooth substrates and on rough substrates with low-nanometer dimensions (average roughness $[Ra]=121.3{\pm}13.4nm$), although the ECJs of HGKs on rough substrates with low-nanometer dimensions developed later than those of HGKs on smooth substrates. In contrast, HGKs developed short intercellular junctions with wide intercellular gaps on rough substrates with mid- or high-nanometer dimensions ($Ra=505.3{\pm}115.3nm$, $867.0{\pm}168.6nm$). Notably, the stability of the ECJs was low on the rough substrates, as demonstrated by the rapid destruction of the cell junction following calcium depletion. Inhibition of JNK activity promoted ECJ development in HGKs. JNK was closely associated with cortical actin in the regulation of ECJs in HGKs. Conclusions: These results indicate that on rough substrates with nanometer dimensions, the ECJs of HGKs develop slowly or defectively, and that this effect can be reversed by inhibiting JNK.

오랜 기간 국소의치를 장착한 부분 무치악 환자에서, 치아가 결손된 부위는 점진적인 치조골의 흡수가 발생되는 반면, 잔존 지대치 부위는 치조골이 유지되어 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 이는 차후 잔존 지대치를 상실한 후에도 치아 상실의 시점에 따라 수직적인 골 높이의 현저한 차이를 나타낸다. 이와 같이 전체 치아 발거 후 상하악 악간 거리가 좌우측 또는 전후방으로 다르게 나타나는 환자에서 임플란트를 이용한 고정성 보철물이나 임플란트 피개의치의 제작 시 여러 가지 보철적 문제가 야기될 수 있다. 본 논문은 구치부 결손으로 인해 오랫동안 국소의치를 사용했던 환자에서 치아 상실 후 잔존 치조골의 높이를 고려하여 임플란트 지지 국소의치를 제작한 증례로서 잔존 치조골 량이 많아 악간거리가 짧은 전치부는 임플란트를 식립하여 고정성 보철물로, 오랫동안 치조골의 흡수로 인해 악간거리가 긴 구치부는 국소의치로 수복하였다. 본 증례에서의 임플란트 지지 국소의치는 부가적인 수술이 없이 소수의 임플란트를 식립하고 환자에게 기존 보철물의 양식과 유사한 보철물을 제공함으로서 경제적이고 편안한 치료결과를 보여주었다.

디지털 기술의 발달로 무치악 부위의 임플란트 수복 시 그 진단과 치료 과정 전반에 걸쳐 구강 내 3차원 정보를 데이터화하여 보철물을 제작하는 것이 가능해졌다. 전통적인 인상채득 방식을 이용하여 모델을 만들고 이것을 스캔하여 보철물을 제작하던 CAD/CAM 이용 방식에서 벗어나 디지털 인상 코핑(scanbody)을 사용함으로써 모델 없이 디지털 인상을 채득하고 임플란트 임시 보철물 및 해부학적 지대주를 제작하는 술식으로 변화하고 있다. 그러나 아직 이러한 술식은 활발히 이루어지고 있지 않으며 특히 심미성이 요구되어 연조직 외형의 인기가 중요한 상악 전치부 임플란트 즉시 부하에서의 사용은 그 사례가 많지 않다. 이에 따라 본 증례 보고에서는 3명의 상악 전치부 단일 임플란트 수복 환자에서 디지털 인상 코핑(scanbody)을 체결한 후 구강 내 스캐너인 CEREC Omnicam (Sirona, Bensheim, Germany) 또는 Trios (3shape, Copenhagen, Denmark)로 디지털 인상채득을 통해 임플란트 지대주 및 임시 보철물을 제작하였다. 그 결과 디지털 인상채득을 통한 편리성, 정확성 그리고 최종 보철물의 양호한 심미성을 얻어 보고하고자 한다.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to investigate the biologic effects of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) with different concentrations on cell viability and the genetic expression of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) to zirconia surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Immortalized human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) were cultured (1) without EMD, (2) with EMD $25{\mu}g/mL$, and (3) with EMD $100{\mu}g/mL$ on zirconia discs. MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cell proliferation activity and SEM was carried out to examine the cellular morphology and attachment. The mRNA expression of collagen type I, osteopontin, fibronectin, and TGF-${\beta}1$ was evaluated with the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS. From MTT assay, HGF showed more proliferation in EMD $25{\mu}g/mL$ group than control and EMD $100{\mu}g/mL$ group (P<.05). HGFs showed more flattened cellular morphology on the experimental groups than on the control group after 4h culture and more cellular attachments were observed on EMD $25{\mu}g/mL$ group and EMD $100{\mu}g/mL$ group after 24h culture. After 48h of culture, cellular attachment was similar in all groups. The mRNA expression of type I collagen increased in a concentration dependent manner. The genetic expression of osteopontin, fibronectin, and TGF-${\beta}1$ was increased at EMD $100{\mu}g/mL$. However, the mRNA expression of proteins associated with cellular attachment was decreased at EMD $25{\mu}g/mL$. CONCLUSION. Through this short term culture of HGF on zirconium discs, we conclude that EMD affects the proliferation, attachment, and cell morphology of HGF cells. Also, EMD stimulates production of extracellular matrix collagen, osteopontin, and TGF-${\beta}1$ in high concentration levels. CLINICAL RELEVANCE. With the use of EMD, protective barrier between attached gingiva and transmucosal zirconia abutment may be enhanced leading to final esthetic results with implants.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and adverse reactions of CT-guided radioactive 125I-seed implantation treatment combined with chemotherapy for platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian carcinoma. Materials and Methods: From September 2010 to December 2012, 23 patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian carcinoma were enrolled. All the patients refused, could not bear, or were not suitable for surgery. They all had no more than 3 lesions, which were detected and could also be measured by CT. All were clarified as single-lesion or multiple-lesion groups. A total of 41 lesions underwent implantation of from 8 to 106 125I seeds (median=43). Multi-plane implanting was adopted and 125I-seeds of (0.4-0.7)mCi were placed at intervals of (0.5-1.0) cm. After implantation treatment, all patients underwent 4 cycles of chemotherapy with gemcitabine $800mg/m^2$ (days 1, 8 and 15). Results: The outcome was evaluated with CT 3 weeks and every 3 months after implantation treatment. After 6 months, the volume of 32 out of 41 lesions (78.0%) was reduced at least 30%, within which 9 lesions completely disappeared(22.0%). Complete response was observed in 7 cases (30.4%), with a partial response in 4 cases (17.4%), 4 cases stable(17.4%)and 8 cases showing progression (34.8%). The total clinical remission rate was 47.8% (11/23). The clinical remission rate was 77.8% (7/9) in the single-lesion group and 28.6% (4/14) in the multiple-lesion group with a significant difference between the two(P=0.036). The common side effects observed were mild gastrointestinal reactions. Conclusions: 125I-seed implantation combined with chemotherapy applies an effective way in the treatment of platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian epithelial carcinoma with the advantages of high local control rates, good short-term effects, little trauma and less side effects.

Background: We aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) with a tissue expander. Methods: Adult women undergoing IBR with a tissue expander after mastectomy were randomly assigned to either intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) alone (group P) or IV-PCA plus ESPB (group E). The primary outcome was the total amount of opioid consumption during 24 hours postoperatively between the two groups. Secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction, pain score at rest and on shoulder movement using numerical rating scale, incidences of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and a short form of the brief pain inventory (BPI-SF) at 3 and 6 months after surgery between the groups. Results: Fifty eight patients completed the study. At 24 hours postoperatively, total opioid consumption was significantly less in group E than in group P (285.0 ± 92.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 250.1 to 320.0 vs. 223.2 ± 83.4, 95% CI: 191.5 to 254.9, P = 0.005). Intraoperative and cumulative PCA fentanyl consumption at 3, 6, 9, and 24 hours were also less in group E than in group P (P = 0.004, P = 0.048, P = 0.020, P = 0.036, and P < 0.001, respectively). Patient satisfaction was higher in group E (6.9 ± 1.8 vs. 7.8 ± 1.4, P = 0.042). The incidences of PONV was similar. Conclusions: The ESPB decreased postoperative opioid consumption and increased patient satisfaction without significant complications after IBR with a tissue expander after mastectomy.
