This study was conducted to investigate the influence of bone boiling duration on bovine bone extract supplement quality in terms of growth performance, leg bone length, and blood profile in broilers. A total of twenty ROSS 308 broilers (initial BW of $970{\pm}50g$) were randomly divided into the following 4 treatment groups: CON (basal water), T1 (1 : 1 ratio water to bone extract boiled for six hours), T2 (1 : 1 ratio water to bone extract boiled for 12 hours), and T3 (1 : 1 ratio water to bone extract boiled for 24 hours). The broilers were allowed free access to the source of fluid or diets. Average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), and feed efficiency showed no significant differences among treatments during this experiment. However, broilers fed bone extract boiled for six hours showed a tendency for increased ADG to other treatments (p < 0.17). No significant differences were observed in organ weights (liver, spleen, bursa of fabricius) or blood profiles among the treatments during the experiment, but broilers fed bone extract boiled for six hours showed a tendency for decreased cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL compared to the control diet. In the case of leg bone length, there were significant difference (p < 0.05) on tibia and femur among treatments. It was concluded that the six hour-boiled bone extract supplementation had beneficial effects on growth performance and blood profile of broilers.

Optimization of design is an important step in obtaining tissue engineering scaffolds with appropriate shapes and inner micro-structures. Different shapes and sizes of scaffolds are modeled using UGS NX 6.0 software with variable pore sizes. The quality issue we are concerned is the scaffold porosity, which is mainly caused by the fabrication inaccuracies. Bone scaffolds are usually characterized using a scanning electron microscope, but this study presents a new automated inspection and classification technique. Due to many numbers and size variations for the pores, the manual inspection of the fabricated scaffolds tends to be error-prone and costly. Manual inspection also raises the chance of contamination. Thus, non-contact, precise inspection is preferred. In this study, the critical dimensions are automatically measured by the vision camera. The measured data are analyzed to classify the quality characteristics. The automated inspection and classification techniques developed in this study are expected to improve the quality of the fabricated scaffolds and reduce the overall cost of manufacturing.

Purpose: Placement of endosseous implants in the atrophic maxilla is often restricted because of the lack of supporting bone. In this article, augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor with deproteinized bovine bone to enable insertion of endosseous implants is described. The technique is aimed at providing a cortical layer on top of the graft to ensure a reliable seal of the maxillary sinus and to achieve optimal stability of the bone graft in case of simultaneously placement of dental implants. Methods: The procedure was used in 200 patients (839 implants), using deproteinized bovine bone. The mean follow-up was 28.5 months. No inflammation of the bone grafts nor of the maxillary sinus occurred. The patients received implant supported overdentures or bone-anchored bridges. Results: The survival rate of implant restoration of this study was 97.6%. The total average of marginal bone loss in radiographs was $0.20{\pm}0.38$ mm. Insufficient primary stability, bony quality, and infection were thought to be associated factors in the failed cases. Conclusion: This study documented that deproteinized bovine bone, when used as a grafting material for augmentation of the sinus floor, may lead to proper osseointegration of a endosseous implant.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate the changes of jaw bone density around the dental implant after placement using computed tomography scan (CT-Scan). Materials and Methods : This retrospective study consisted of 30 patients who had lost 1 posterior tooth in maxilla or mandible and installed dental implant. The patients took CT-Scan before and after implant placement. Hounsfield Unit (HU) was measured around the implants and evaluated the difference of HU before and after implant installation. Results : The mean HU of jaw bone was 542.436 HU and 764.9 HU before and after implant placement, respectively (p<0.05). The means HUs for male were 632.3 HU and 932.2 HU and those for female 478.2 HU and 645.5 HU before and after implant placement, respectively (p<0.05). Also, the jaw bone with lower density needed longer period for implant procedure and the increased change of HU of jaw bone was less in the cases which needed longer period for osseointegration. Conclusion : CT-Scan could be used to assess the change of bone density around dental implants. Bone density around dental implant was increased after placement. The increased rate of bone density could be determined by the quality of jaw bone before implant placement.

Rheumatic diseases can be categorized by pathology into several specific types of musculoskeletal problems, including synovitis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), enthesopathy (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis) and cartilage degeneration (e.g. osteoarthritis). Skeletal radiographs have contributed to the diagnosis of these articular diseases, and some disease entities need typical radiographic changes as a factor of the diagnostic criteria. However, they sometimes show normal radiographic findings in the early stage of disease, when there is demineralization of less than 30-50 %. Bone scans have also been used in arthritis, but not widely because the findings are nonspecific and it is thought that bone scans do not add significant information to routine radiography. Bone scans do however play a different role than simple radiography, and it is a complementary imaging method in the course of management of arthritis. The Image quality of bone scans can be improved by obtaining regional views and images under a pin-hole collimator, and through a variety of scintigraphic techniques including the three phase bone scan and bone SPECT. Therefore, bone scans could improve the diagnostic value, and answer multiple clinical questions, based on the pathophysiology of various forms of arthritis.

임플란트 골유착의 성공과 임플란트 안정성에서 가장 중요한 것은 골의 양과 질이며 안정성을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 주입회전력도 골질에 영향을 받는다. 임플란트를 식립할 때 모터에서 생긴 힘이 임플란트에 전달되면 임플란트는 회전력(moment)과 축력(axial force)을 갖게 되고 임플란트와 접촉한 골에서는 절삭과 압박 그리고 마찰이 일어나 응력이 생기는데 이 때 측정되는 주입회전력(insertion torque)은 골질에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 임플란트를 하악 소구치 부위 골에 식립하는 것을 가정하여 골질을 치밀골의 두께와 망상골의 밀도 그리고 하방 치밀골 존재 시로 나누고, 골의 응력과 변위를 소탄성 범위의 유한요소법으로 분석하고 유효응력(von Mises stress)과 회전력 그리고 축력을 비교 연구하여 골질이 주입 회전력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 임플란트($Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII.RP, ${\phi}3.75{\times}10.0mm$, Nobel Biocare, $G{\ddot{o}}teborg$, Sweden) 와 원통형 골모형(${\phi}9.5{\times}12.0mm$)의 유한요소 모형을 설계하고 변수로 상부 치밀골의 두께(0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm)와 치밀골 하부에 망상골의 밀도($0.85g/cm^3$, $1.11g/cm^3$, $1.25g/cm^3$) 그리고 골모형 하부에 1 mm 두께의 치밀골 유무에 따라 총 7개의 모형을 만들었으며, 임플란트가 식립될 때 발생하는 유효응력과 축력 그리고 회전력을 시간대 별로 비교하였다. 임플란트 플랜지 하연이 골의 상부를 파고드는 300 msec, 중간 정도 들어간 550 msec, 완전히 들어가 플랜지 상면이 골 표면과 일치한 800 msec로 나누어 관찰하였을 때 축력은 500 msec 전후에서, 회전력은 800 msec 전후에서 최대값를 보였으며 유효응력 분포는 서로 비슷하였다. 이 같은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 축력을 영역 별로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트는 플랜지가 골을 파고들 때 축력이 치밀 골에서 가장 높았고, 회전력은 플랜지가 골상부에 걸리어 축력이 급격히 감소한 이후에 최대 회전력을 보였으며, 이 때 유효응력 분포는 플랜지와 접촉하는 골 상부에 집중되었다. 2. 임플란트 식립 시 치밀골의 두께가 두꺼울수록 축력과 회전력이 높게 나타났으며 치밀골의 두께가 축력과 회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 3. 치밀골의 두께가 1.5 mm 이상인 경우 망상 골의 밀도가 축력에 미치는 영향은 작았고, 치밀골의 두께가 0.5 mm인 경우 망상골의 밀도가 축력과 회전력에 영향이 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 4. 양측 피질골 존재 시 축력의 합은 상부 피질골의 두께가 같은 다른 경우와 비슷하였으나 부위별 촉력은 골하부에서 양측 피질골 모형이 가장 높았고, 회전력은 하방 피질골과 접촉할 때는 피질골 두께가 같은 다른 모형보다 다소 높으나 최대 회전력은 비슷하였다. 위 결과를 토대로 하악 소구치 부위에 $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트 식립 시 골질과 관련된 요소 중에 치밀골의 두께가 주입회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주며 망상골의 밀도를 높이는 술식도 일차적 안정성 증가에 유용할 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

It is known that aggressive treatment of chemotherapy, radiation and autogenous stem cell transplantation is effective for prevention of recurrence in the high-risk breast cancer patients. It was assumed that this procedure takes a longer time and decreases the quality of life more than the standard adjuvant chemotherapy. However, there are few studies comparing the quality of life of patients having bone marrow transplantation and adjuvant chemotherapy. Most of the studies were focused on the quality of life in one point of time, such as only during the early treatment stage, only overall quality of life rather than specific dimensions of the quality of life. The purposes of this study are 1) to identify the difference of the quality of life between two different treatment patterns, adjuvant chemotherapy and autogenous stem cell transplantation: 2) to identify the mostly affected dimension and the periods of time affected by the treatment patterns; and 3) to identify the trajectories of quality of life in each treatment pattern. This is a time series design that measures 4 different points of times. At the beginning of the study, 19 patients were placed in the chemotherapy group and 12 in the group of auto-peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The inclusion criterion was the advanced disease stage of 3 or over with metastasis of more than 5 lymph nodes. The exclusion criteria were 1) anyone who has metastasis to other organ; 2) anyone who had psychological problems. Ferrell's Quality of Life Scale for Cancer Survivors 41 items on a 10 point scale was used. The QOL-CS includes 4 dimensions, which were labeled physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. The Cronbach‘s alpha of this scale was 0.89. Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to test each hypothesis. In comparison of the two groups, the quality of life of the bone marrow transplantation group dramatically increased at the 3rd and 6th month after transplantation, while the chemotherapy groups results stayed lower. The most affected dimension of the quality of life at the end of the treatment was the physical dimension. However, it and increased along with time, while the psychological dimension values remained low over the long-term period. Intensive nursing care is needed during the entire period of chemotherapy in all patients having chemotherapy, and is also required for right after cases of bone marrow transplantation.

Chicken bone is not adequately utilized despite its high nutritional value and protein content. Although not a common raw material, chicken bone can be used in many different ways besides manufacturing of collagen products. In this study, a multi-step procedure was optimized to isolate chicken bone collagen for higher yield and quality for manufacture of collagen products. The chemical composition of chicken bone was 2.9% nitrogen corresponding to about 15.6% protein, 9.5% fat, 14.7% mineral and 57.5% moisture. The lowest amount of protein loss was aimed along with the separation of the highest amount of visible impurities, non-collagen proteins, minerals and fats. Treatments under optimum conditions removed 57.1% of fats and 87.5% of minerals with respect to their initial concentrations. Meanwhile, 18.6% of protein and 14.9% of hydroxyproline were lost, suggesting that a selective separation of non-collagen components and isolation of collagen were achieved. A significant part of impurities were selectively removed and over 80% of the original collagen was preserved during the treatments.

One of the most important factors leading to a successful healing of rotator cuff tear is good bone quality to secure the suture anchor in the bone for a stable fixation. However, rotator cuff tear are commonly found in elderly patients, and their proximal humerus often shows osteoporosis or cystic lesions. Especially when the transosseous repair prevails for a torn rotator cuff, a weak metaphyseal cancellous bone is often the case, which associated with difficulty in stable fixation of the lateral row suture anchor. In this situation, we were able to augment the lateral row fixation with polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. Although there is a concern of disturbance in the blood flow and healing potential, our case showed good clinical results with respect to healing. If we suspect a weak fixation of the lateral row suture anchor, bone cement seems to be a good option for augmentation.

Bone age assessment has been widely used to measure the ossification in pediatric radiology. For the assessment, first bone age of each epiphyseal plate is estimated using DCT/LDA, then the bone age of a patient is calculated by using the median of 9 estimations. For some patients, however, due to various reasons such as X-ray image quality or the pose of fingers, it is common to miss couple of plates in automated systems. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the number of detected plates and the accuracy of bone age assessment. In the experimental results, we confirmed the similarity between bone age assessed using more than 7 epiphyseal plates and that assessed using 9 epiphyseal plates.
