목적: 자가 슬괵건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건술 후 대퇴 터널 내의 고정은 2개의 생흡수성 핀인 Rigidifix system (Mitek Product, Johnson and Johnson, USA)를 이용하여 고정하고, 경골 터널 내는 Intrafix system을 이용한 생간섭나사로 고정 후 이식건의 경골 족에 인대 고정 나사를 이용한 부가적 고정이 수술 후 슬관절 전방 안정성에 영향을 주는지를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 5월부터 2003년 1월까지 Rigidfix와 Intrafix를 이용하여 관절경적 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행 받은 39명 중 추시 관찰이 되지 않은 2명을 제외한 37명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 평균 추시 기간은 14개월(범위: $25{\sim}13$개월) 이었다. 부가적 고정 여부의 결정은 수술 순서에 따라서 교대로 선택하였고, 경골 터널 밖으로 나온 이식건을 인대 고정 나사로 고정하였고 이식건이 짧은 경우는 봉합사를 인대 고정 나사에 묶었다. Intrafix만으로 고정한 경우 17명, 부가적 고정을 한 경우가 20명이었다. 내측 반월상 연골의 절제 2예, 내측 반월상 연골의 봉합 2예, 외측 반월상 연골의 봉합 1예에서 시행하였다. 임상적 평가는 이학적 검사인 Lachman검사, Pivot shift 검사와 재건술 후의 Lysholm점수, IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee)평가 기준, KT-1000관절 계측 결과를 이용하였다. 결과: 최종 추시 상 수술 후 Lysholm점수는 93.1점(범위: $65{\sim}98$점), IKDC 평가 기준에 의한 최종 평가 상 정상(A) 26예, 거의 정상(8) 10예, 비정상(C) 1 예이었으며, 심한 비정상은 (D)은 없었다. 최종 추시 상 KT-1000 관절계를 이용한 최대 도수 부하 검사 상 건측과의 차이는 평균 2.5mm$(0{\sim}6mm)$ 이였다. 술 후 시행한 Lachman 검사 상 정상 32예, 1 등급 4예, 2 등급 II 1예 이었고, Pivot shift 검사 상 정상 34예, 1 등급 2예, 2등급 1예 이었다. KT-1000 관절계를 이용한 최대 도수 부하 검사 상 건측과의 차이는 부가적 고정을 한 경우는 평균 2.2 mm$(0{\sim}4mm)$ Intrafix 만으로 고정한 경우는 평균 2.8 mm$(0{\sim}6mm)$였다. 두 군 사이에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 결론: 자가 슬괵건을 이용한 전방 십자 재건술 후 전방 안정성은 Intrafix를 이용한 경골 터널 내의 이식건의 고정이 부가적 고정을 한 경우와 비교하여 차이가 없었다. 따라서 경골 터널 내에서 부가적 고정 없이 슬괵건의 고정만으로도 전방 안정성을 얻을 수 있다고 사료된다.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the image quality and dose reduction of low-dose three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography (RA) for evaluating intracranial aneurysms. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical data and 3D RA datasets obtained from 146 prospectively registered patients (male:female, 46:100; median age, 58 years; range, 19-81 years). The subjective image quality of 79 examinations obtained from a conventional method and 67 examinations obtained from a low-dose (5-seconds and 0.10-μGy/frame) method was assessed by two neurointerventionists using a 3-point scale for four evaluation criteria. The total image quality score was then obtained as the average of the four scores. The image quality scores were compared between the two methods using a noninferiority statistical testing, with a margin of -0.2 (i.e., score of low-dose group - score of conventional group). For the evaluation of dose reduction, dose-area product (DAP) and air kerma (AK) were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The mean total image quality score ± standard deviation of the 3D RA was 2.97 ± 0.17 by reader 1 and 2.95 ± 0.20 by reader 2 for conventional group and 2.92 ± 0.30 and 2.95 ± 0.22, respectively, for low-dose group. The image quality of the 3D RA in the low-dose group was not inferior to that of the conventional group according to the total image quality score as well as individual scores for the four criteria in both readers. The mean DAP and AK per rotation were 5.87 Gy-cm² and 0.56 Gy, respectively, in the conventional group, and 1.32 Gy-cm² (p < 0.001) and 0.17 Gy (p < 0.001), respectively, in the low-dose group. Conclusion: Low-dose 3D RA was not inferior in image quality and reduced the radiation dose by 70%-77% compared to the conventional 3D RA in evaluating intracranial aneurysms.

Pharmacologic coronary vasodilation in conjunction with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy has become an alternative to dynamic exercise test for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease, especially in patients who are unable to perform adequate exercise. Dipyridamole and adenosine have been used for pharmacologic stress testing with myocardial perfusion imaging. Adenosine is a potent coronary vasodilator with rapid onset of action, short half-life, near maximal coronary vasodilation and less serious side effects. ST segment depression has been reported in about 7-15% of patients with coronary artery disease receiving dipyridamole in conjunction with myocardial perfusion imaging. The exact cause and clinical significance are not known. In order to evaluate the relationship between adenosine-induced ST segment depression during $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and the severity of coronary artery disease, we performed $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI imaging after intravenous Infusion of adenosine In 120 patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Of the 120 patients, 28 also performed coronary angiography. There were 24 patients with ST segment depression during $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI scintigraphy and 96 patients without ST segment depression. Adenosine was infused Intravenously at a dose of 0.14mg/kg per minute lot 6minutes and $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI was injected at 3 minute. We then com-pared the hemodynamic changes, side effects, scintigraphic and angiographic findings. Heart rate increased $90{\pm}19$ beats/minute in the group with ST depression compared with $80{\pm}16$ beats/minute in the group without ST depression(p<0.05). Baseline systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in the group with ST depression($152{\pm}27$ mmHg) than in the group without 57 depression($140{\pm}21$mmHg, p<0.05). Double product at baseline($10.90{\pm}2.77$ versus $9.55{\pm}2.34\;beats/minute{\times}mmHg$) and during adenosine infusion($12.72{\pm}3.89$ versus $10.83{\pm}2.98\;beats/minute{\times}mmHg$) were significantly higher in the group with ST depression(p<0.05). The incidence of anginal chest pain was also significantly higher in the group with ST depression(ST versus 29%, p<0.0001). The $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI images were abnormal in 23(96%) patients with ST segment depression and 66(69%) patients without ST segment depression(p<0.05). In patients with ST segment depression, there were more reversible perfusion defects than in patients without ST segment depression(83 versus 55%, p<0.05). The number of abnormal segments were significantly higher in the group with ST depression($3.05{\pm}2.01$ versus $1.51{\pm}1.45$, p<0.005). In patients with ST segment depression, there were more segments of reversible perfusion defects than in patients without segment depression($2.15{\pm}2.11$ versus $0.89{\pm}1.24$, p<0.05). There were no differences in the angiographic severity by vessel(p ; NS). We concluded that ST segment depression during $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with Intravenous adenosine is related to the severity of coronary artery disease.
