This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of 0.8% sodium hyaluronic acid solution and crosslinked hyaluronic acid mixture for the prevention of postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion in rats. Forty-five animals were divided into three groups ; 0.9% saline treated control group, 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose treated group (SCMC), and 0.8% sodium hyaluronic acid solution and crosslinked hyaluronic acid mixture treated group (SHCH). Adhesions were induced by suturing both the ileal serosa and peritoneum abrased until petechial bleeding occurred. Fourteen days later, adhesions were evaluated clinically and histopathologically. The mean tensile strength was significantly decreased in the SCMC and SHCH groups compared to the control group (p < 0.05), and the SHCH group had the lowest tensile strength. The distance of adhesion site was highest in the control group and significantly decreased in the SHCH group comparing control group (p < 0.05). The inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen hyperplasia and neovascularization of the SCMC and SHCH groups were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that the SHCH may be useful to prevent postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion in rats.

The objective of this study was to determine the effective concentration of carboxymethyl chitoaan(CMC) solution on preventing intraperitoneal adhesions. In this study, 60 rats were divided into four groups : an untreated control group and three experimental groups that were treated with 3 ml of 3, 5, and 7% CMC solution. Adhesions were induced by suturing both the ileal serosa and peritoneum scraped until petechial bleeding occurred. CMC solutions were instilled intraperitoneally immediately before closure of the peritoneomuscular layer. The tensile strength of formed adhesions was measured by using a computerized tensiometer. Histopathological changes of adhesions were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin for light microscopic examination and Massons's trichrom staining for collagen fibers. All of CMC solutions reduced significantly the tensile strength of the adhesions. CMC inhibited the increase of inflammatory cell infiltration and damage of adhesion spot, and accelerated the collagen synthesis and neovascuiarization. No significant differences were observed among all of CMC concentration at inhibiting adhesion formation. Therefore, we could conclude that 3% CMC, the lowest concentration adopted in this study, was appropriate to prevent the formation of peritoneal adhesion.

Purpose: The present study investigated the impact of 2 different suture techniques, the conventional crossed mattress suture (X suture) and the novel hidden X suture, for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) with an open healing approach. Methods: This study was a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. Fourteen patients requiring extraction of the maxillary or mandibular posterior teeth were enrolled and allocated into 2 groups. After extraction, demineralized bovine bone matrix mixed with 10% collagen (DBBM-C) was grafted and the socket was covered by porcine collagen membrane in a double-layer fashion. No attempt to obtain primary closure was made. The hidden X suture and conventional X suture techniques were performed in the test and control groups, respectively. Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images were taken immediately after the graft procedure and before implant surgery 4 months later. Additionally, the change in the mucogingival junction (MGJ) position was measured and was compared after extraction, after suturing, and 4 months after the operation. Results: All sites healed without any complications. Clinical evaluations showed that the MGJ line shifted to the lingual side immediately after the application of the X suture by $1.56{\pm}0.90mm$ in the control group, while the application of the hidden X suture rather pushed the MGJ line slightly to the buccal side by $0.25{\pm}0.66mm$. It was demonstrated that the amount of keratinized tissue (KT) preserved on the buccal side was significantly greater in the hidden X suture group 4 months after the procedure (P<0.05). Radiographic analysis showed that the hidden X suture had a significant effect in preserving horizontal width and minimizing vertical reduction in comparison to X suture (P<0.05). Conclusions: Our study provided clinical and radiographic verification of the efficacy of the hidden X suture in preserving the width of KT and the dimensions of the alveolar ridge after ARP.

Objectives: Preoperative nervousness and anxiety are frequently encountered by individuals who undergo extractions of impacted wisdom teeth. The aim of the present study is to evaluate salivary alpha amylase (sAA) level in patients for assessment of stress during third molar surgery while listening to piano music and to determine its co-relation with pain catastrophizing scale (PCS). Materials and Methods: Seven patients (four males and three females) indicated for surgical extraction of bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars were included. Pre-surgical patient assessments were completed, and three samples of saliva were collected during surgery-one at baseline, one 30 minutes after commencement of surgery, and one after suturing. Assessment was performed on both sides separately with and without piano music, and the samples were assessed for sAA level and correlated with the patient's self-reported PCS. Results: Statistically significant results were obtained in patients who underwent surgical extraction while listening to piano music (P=0.046). The correlation of sAA level with PCS was not significant. Conclusion: Music demonstrated a beneficial effect on lowering the levels of stress and anxiety that a patient exhibits during any surgical procedure, and sAA can be a useful biomarker for similar assessments.

목적: 급성 또는 재발성 슬개골 탈구의 치료에 있어서 내측 슬개-대퇴 인대의 해부학적 위치를 고려하여 견인 봉합술을 이용한 관절경적 내측 관절막 중첩술을 새롭게 고안하였기에 소개하고자 한다. 수술 술기: 관절경하에서 내측 슬개-대퇴 인대가 위치하는 부위의 내측 관절막에 봉합사를 관절 밖에서 안으로 통과시킨다. 슬개골에 유도강선으로 3개의 터널을 뚫는데, 그 관절내 입구가 슬개골의 내측 변연 상부 1/2에 위치하도록 한다. 관절 내로 들어와 있는 봉합사를 슬개골의 터널을 통해 관절 밖으로 빼내고, 봉합사에 긴장을 준 상태에서 적절한 정도로 외측 지대 유리술을 시행한 후 봉합사를 결찰한다. 결론: 본 술기는 최근 중요시되고 있는 내측 슬개-대퇴 인대를 봉합함으로써 내측 관절막 중첩술의 효과를 극대화시키고 슬개골의 아탈구 및 경사를 교정할 수 있으며, 최소 침습적이고 비교적 쉽고 간단하여 급성 또는 재발성 슬개골 탈구의 치료에 있어서 효과적인 술식으로 생각된다.
