  • The purpose of this study would evaluate if having clinical effects on diffusion image with quantitative analysis through ADC values of brain's normal tissue and lesions before and after contrast injections using a 3.0T. From November in 2007 until December in 2008, a total of 32 patient was performed on 3.0T(Signa Excite, GE Medical System, USA) with the normal or lesions in the patient who requests diffusion weighted image with 8channel head coil. The pulse sequence was used with spin echo EPI(TR: 10000msec, TE: 72.2 msec, Matrix: 128*128, FOV: 240 mm, NEX: 1, diffusion direction: 3, b-value: 1000). Measurement results of ADC values on lesions, CSF, white matter, gray matter, lesions after contrast injection were measured less 75% than before contrast injection, infarction: 100%, CSF: 78%(high), white matter: 71.4%(low), gray matter: 50%(high, low). The results of paired t-test on the deference of ADC values which statically is significant in three(lesions, CSF, white matter)regions except for white matter(p<0.05). Quantitative analysis of lesions, CSF, white matter, gray matter have difference on all regions. ADC values were low in lesions and white matter, normal CSF after contrast injection commonly is high than before contrast injection, ADC values which white matter were high and low (50:50) after contrast injection. 3.0T diffusion weighted image clinically supposed that performing DWI examination after contrast injection was not desirable because of having effects on brain tissue.

  • Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious disease affecting pigs. The control of FMD in swine husbandry is very important because its outbreak results in a vast economic loss. FMD vaccination has effectively controlled FMD; however, it results in economic loss associated with the incidence of lesions in the pork meat at the injection site. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of transdermal needle-free injection (NFI) of the FMD vaccine on the incidence of lesions at the injection site. Pigs (n=493) in the control group were vaccinated with the FMD vaccine using a commercial syringe needle, while 492 pigs in the transdermal NFI group received the FMD vaccine using a needle-free gas-powered jet injector. After the slaughter of the pigs, the incidence of lesions at the injection site of all pigs was checked by plant workers. The result of this study showed that the incidence of lesions in the pork ham from pigs vaccinated with NFI was 14.82% lower than that in control pigs (p<0.01). In addition, lesions generated in the NFI group were found just in the subcutaneous tissue. Therefore, the incidence of lesions at the injection site in pork from pigs vaccinated with the FMD vaccine can be effectively reduced by using transdermal NFI rather than a conventional syringe needle.

  • Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)-related hand lesions are one of the complications following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with CRPS-related hand lesions following ARCR. Methods: Altogether, 103 patients with ARCR were included in this study (mean age, 63.6±8.2 years; 66 males and 37 females; follow-up period, preoperative to 12 months postoperative). Clinical assessment included the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Constant score, 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) score, and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) score from preoperative to 12 months postoperatively. The patients were either assigned to the CRPS group or non-CRPS group depending on CRPS diagnosis until the final follow-up, and clinical outcomes were then compared between the groups. Results: Of 103 patients, 20 (19.4%) had CRPS-related hand lesions that developed entirely within 2 months postoperatively. Both groups showed significant improvement in JOA, UCLA, and Constant scores preoperatively to 12 months postoperatively (p<001). Comparisons between the two groups were not significantly different, except for SF-36 "general health perception" (p<0.05) at 12 months postoperatively. At final follow-up, three patients had residual CRPS-related hand lesions with limited range of motion and finger edema. Conclusions: CRPS-related hand lesions developed in 19.4% of patients following ARCR. Shoulder or upper-limb function improved in most cases at 12 months, with satisfactory SF-36 patient-based evaluation results. Patients with residual CRPS-related hand lesions at the last follow-up require long-term follow-up.

  • 연구배경: 경피적 폐생검은 흉부 병소의 진단을 얻기위해 흔히 이용되는 검사 방법으로써, 축적된 경험, 검칩의 개발, 영상 유도 방법의 개선으로 진단 성적이 높아지고 있으며, 기존의 논문들이 28 - 98%의 진단 성적을 보고하며 시술에 의한 합병증은 그 정도가 가벼워서 비교적 안전하게 시행될 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 저자들은 서울대학병원에서 1년 동안 시행된 경피적 폐생검 결과를 검토하여 그의 진단 성적과 합병증의 빈도와 정도를 조사하고 진단 성적에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 평가하고자 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법: 1994 년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지, 흉부병소를 가진 236명의 환자에게 시행된 287 회의 경피적 폐생검 결과를 검토하여 양성 및 악성 질환에 대한 진단 성적과 합병증의 발생 빈도를 조사하였다. 병소는 21- 23 G Chiba needle로 흡인하였고, 필요시 19 - 20 G Biopsy gun으로 생검을 실시 하여 미생물학적 검사, 세포진 검사, 병리 조직학적 검사를 시행하였다. 그 결과 및 합병증의 발생 빈도는 병록지만을 참고하여 산출되었다. 병변의 형태와 크기에 따른 진단 성적은 chi square 방법으로 통계 처리하여 비교하였다(P<0.05). 결과: 병변의 위치는 우상엽 26.3%, 우중엽 6.4%, 우하엽 21.2%, 좌상엽 16.8%, 좌하엽 10.6%, 2엽 이상의 부위에 병변이 있었던 경우가 17.4%, 종격동 1.3% 였다. 병변의 형태는 경화성 병변이 19.9%, 결절 또는 종괴성 병변이 80.1% 였다. 236명 중 양성 질환자는 74명, 악성질환자는 142명, 경피적 폐생검을 포함한 어떤 검사로도 진단이 밝혀지지 않은 환자는 22명 이었고, 2명은 폐암과 폐결핵을 같이 가지고 있었다. 236 명을 대상으로 총 287 회의 경피적 폐생검이 시행되었는데, 이것으로 확진된 경우가 양성 질환자의 경우 46명으로 62.2%, 악성 질환자의 경우 117명으로 82.4%의 진단 성적을 보였다. 경피적 폐생검을 1차로 시행하여 진단에 이르지 못한 경우 2차, 3차 재 시술 함으로써 양성 질환의 경우 44.6%, 60.8%, 62.2%로, 악성 질환의 경우 73.9%, 8 1.7%, 82.4%로 진단 성적을 높일 수 있었다. 악성 질환자 43 명과 양성 질환자 9명에서 개흉술을 실시하였는데 개흉술과 경피적 폐생검의 병리학적 검사 결과가 일치하였던 경우는 악성과 양성에서 각각 25 명과 4명 으로 58.1% 와 44.4 %의 일치율을 보였다. 또한 약성 질환자 4명과 양성 질환자 2명은 개흉술 후 악성과 양성의 진단이 바뀌었다. 287례의 시행 중 합병증은 각혈 3 례, 경미한 혈담 55 례, 기흉 36례, 발열 3례로 빈도는 각각 1.0%, 19.2%, 12.5%, 1.0 % 였다. 합병증 발생시 각혈과 혈당은 모두 치료를 요하지 않았고, 기흉은 8례에서 흉관 또는 픽테일 카테터를 삽입하였으며, 발열은 모두 48 시간 내에 자연 소실되었다. 병변의 형태와 크기에 따른 진단 성적의 차이는 없었다. 결론: 경피적 폐생검은 진단 성적이 비교적 높고 합병증의 정도가 낮아 흉부 영소의 진단에 유용하지만 병리 조직학적 진단의 정확도는 개선이 필요하다고 생각된다.

  • 목적: FDG PET에서 위(stomach)에 보이는 다양한 FDG 섭취 양상들이 임상적으로 어떠한 의미가 있는지 알아보고 유의한 병변의 특징적 양상을 밝혀 내어 좀 더 정확한 PET 판독을 유도하여 임상적 처치에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 6월에서 2004년 8월까지, 15개월 동안 FDG PET과 위 내시경을 모두 시행한 위 절제술을 받지 않은 피검자들 중에서 두 검사간 간격이 1주일 이내인 총 38명을 대상으로 하여 후향적으로 연구하였다. PET 영상의 분석은 섭취 정도의 측면에서 시각적 섭취 정도와 max.SUV를 사용하였고, 섭취 모양의 측면에서 국소적, 미만성, 비대칭성의 섭취 양상을 인자로 분석하였다. 내시경 소견은 악성 병변, 염증성 병변, 비염증성 병변, 정상 소견으로 분류하였고, 염증성 병변은 다시 궤양, 위염(만성위염, 기타위염)으로 분류하였다. 통계적 분석은 t-test와 Mann Whitney test를 이용하였다. 결과: 악성 병변의 경우 시각적 섭취 정도에서 grade 4,5, max.SUV $7.95{\pm}4.38$로 높은 섭취 정도를 보였으며, 섭취 양상은 국소적 섭취 양상이었다. 이러한 기준에 따른 결과는 다른 병변들과 유의한 차이를 보였다. 염증성 병변, 비염증성 병변, 정상 소견에서는 시각적 섭취 정도가 grade$1{\sim}5$까지 다양하게 분포하였으며, 섭취 양상도 국소적, 미만성, 비대칭적인 다양한 양상이었다. 이러한 양성 염증성 병변, 비염증성 병변, 정상 소견 병변들 간에는 섭취 정도와 양상의 인자들 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 위의 악성 병변은 양성 병변에 비해 높은 FDG 섭취 정도를 보이고 섭취 양상에 있어서는 대개가 국소적 섭취 양상이었다. 그러나 위의 양성 병변과 정상에서는 다양한 정도의 섭취 정도와 섭취 양상을 보여 주었고, 각 병변들간에 또는 정상의 생리적 섭취와 구별할 수 있는 소견은 제시하기 어려웠다.

  • Purpose: Several studies of an endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) have been reported, but reports about benign protruding lesions that arise at the scar of EMR for early gastric cancer (EGC) or a gastric adenoma are rare. The purpose of this study was to elucidate endoscopic and histological characteristics of benign protruding lesions which arise at the scar of an EMR for EGC and a gastric flat adenoma. Materials and Methods: In 101 lesions (73 gastric flat adenomas and 28 EGCs) from 96 patients, 16 lesions developed new protruding lesions that arose at the scar of the EMR. We retrospectively analyzed the endoscopic findings of initial and protruding lesions, and several other clinical factors (H. pylori infection, eradication therapy, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or H2-blocker use). Results: 1. The mean duration until detection of the protruding lesion was 8.9 months ($1.5\∼27$). Protruding lesions arose at the scar of the EMR in 1 of 28 EGCs ($3.6\%$) and from 15 of 73 gastric flat adenomas ($20.5\%$). All of the patients were men. 2. With respect to the endoscopic findings, the shapes of the protruding lesions were as follows: 10 Yamada (Y) I, 4 Y-II, 1 Y-III, and 1 flat lesion. Histological examination of the protruding lesions revealed regenerating hyperplasia in 5 lesions, intestinal metaplasia in 5, and both in 6. 3. The incidence of these lesions was higher in cases of tubular adenomas with focal high-grade dysplasia than in cases of tubular adenomas without dysplasia (p<0.05). 4. The incidence of H. pylori infection was higher in patients ($81.7\%$) who developed a protruding lesion than in those ($51.8\%$) who did not develop (p=0.029); also, the incidence of use of PPI was higher in those patients (p=0.045). However, eradication therapy for H. pylori and duration of use of PPI or H2-blocker showed no difference between groups. Conclusions: It may be possible that the potential hyperplasia that may reside in normal mucosa surrounding EGC or a gastric adenoma might awaken during the healing process of the EMR ulcer and develop to benign protruding lesions. And, H. pylori and PPI might also be related to the development of the protruding lesions.

  • Background and Objectives: To review efficacy of the fine-needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) in patients with salivary glands lesions. Materials and Methods: From January 1994 through June 1999, FNACs and surgical biopsies were carried out on 109 patients with salivary gland diseases. The medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Benign tumor was found in 81 patients, and malignant tumor was in 19 patients. Nine patients had inflammatory lesion. Results: In 6 of 109 cases the aspiration was inadequate. Of the remaining 103 patients, FNAC correctly diagnosed 87 lesions(84.5%). For benign tumor lesions, the accuracy was 91%(71/78), and for malignant lesions 55.6%(10/18). The accuracy for inflammatory lesions was 85.7%(6/7). Regarding the capacity to discriminate between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions, sensitivity, specificity and total diagnostic accuracy were 99%, 85.7% and 84.5% respectively. Regarding the capacity to discriminate between malignant and benign tumors, sensitivity and specificity were 55.6% and 97.4% respectively. FNACs misdiagnosed malignant tumors as benign lesions in eight patients, in which three were with adenoid cystic carcinomas. Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, malignant lymphoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma 'were others. Conclusion: FNAC showed high accuracy to diagnose benign lesions in salivary gland diseases. But the accuracy was rather low for malignant lesions. If a salivary gland lesion was suspected for malignant tumor, other diagnostic methods such as tissue biopsy should be seriously considered.
