Extra-articular deposition of monosodium urate crystals is a widely recognized manifestation of gout. However, gouty infiltration of flexor tendons in the hand resulting in tendon rupture is exceedingly rare. This case report highlights a patient with gouty infiltration of flexor tendons in the right middle finger resulting in rupture of both the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis. Given the extent of gouty infiltration and need for pulley reconstruction, the patient was treated with two-stage flexor tendon reconstruction. Febuxostat was prescribed preoperatively to limit further deposition of monosodium urate crystals and continued postoperatively to maximize the potential for long-lasting results. Prednisone was prescribed between the first- and second-stage operations to prevent a gout flare while the silicone rod was in place. In summary, tendon rupture secondary to gouty infiltration is the most likely diagnosis in patients with a history of gout presenting with tendon insufficiency.

A significant injury of ligament or tendon that might result in hypermobility and/or instability has been termed connective tissue insufficiency (CTI). Load bearing on CTI can sometimes create a malfunction of the mechanoreceptor and this in turn can aggravate the problem thus creating a chronic condition. Prolotherapy means the injection of growth factors or growth factor stimulators into the fibroosseous junction of the disabled ligament, tendon or cartilages in order to strengthen and promote proliferation of the injured Connective tissue. In the case of frequent recurrence or unresponsiveness to conservative treatment including nerve blocks in the chronic musculoskeletal disorder. We obtained good results after the prolotherapy treatment. This study will report on 5 cases of prolotherapy treatment.

오늘날 많은 학술도서관이 장서개발에 접근패러다임을 적극적으로 대입하고 있다. 그 대표적인 사례가 전자잡지의 수용이며, 그것의 가장 큰 이점은 최신의 연구논문이 인터넷에 산재하는 플랫폼을 통하여 데스크탑으로 전달된다는 점이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직은 전자잡지가 구독(라이센스)가격, 인쇄잡지의 지속적인 생존력, 아카이빙, 접근 및 이용이 편의성 등의 난제로 인하여 학술커뮤니케이션의 주류매체로 공인 받지 못하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 많은 곡해마저 양산하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 학술지의 구매력 저하, 선택(평가)기준의 부재, 영향계수의 가외성과 남용, 디지털 접근패러다임과 후광효과, 전자잡지 수급의 부 정합, 주제 게이트웨이 기능의 부실 등의 측면에서 디지털 아킬레스건의 개연성을 분석하고자 한다.

When a person was suffered from vocal cord paralysis or glottic insufficiency, injection materials (e.g Teflon, Bovine collagen, Autologous fat & tendon, Gelfoam) into the vocal cord have been widely used. But each injection material has some disadvantage. We introduce the Restylane which is composed of a hyaluronic acid, artificially producted. It has advantage of rate foreign body reaction, proper endurance, easy to injection. The patient was 55-year-old woman who showed left vacal cord paralysis after pneumonectomy due to aspergillosis, taken the type I thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction. The middle portion of left vocal cord has some atropic mucosal change, slight chink was noted. The restylane injection into vocal cord was done with suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia. In the 3 month follow-up after Restylane injection, the quality of voice has been better progressively. We report a case of Restylane injection as a new method for the improvement of quality of voice.

목적 : 자가 골-슬개건-골 이식건과 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건의 효능을 주관적 및 객관적 기준을 이용하여 비교 조사하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1993년 3월부터 1996년 6월까지 18례의 자가 골-슬개건-골 이식건과 24례의 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용하여 한 명의 술자가 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행하고, 술 후 2년 이상 추시 되어진 두 그룹에서 증상, 이학적 검사 및 Telos stress arthrometer를 이용하여 비교하였다. 결과 : Modified Feagin Scoring System을 이용한 2년 이상 추시 만족도는 자가 건 이식 그룹과 동종건 이식 그룹이 각각 $88.9\%$와 $87.5\%$를 보였으며, Tegner activity score, 추시상 장력 검사, 관절 운동 범위, 대퇴 사두근부의 둘레 비교 등에는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 슬개-대퇴부 동통, 탄발음 및 이완 등의 슬개 대퇴부의 문제는 동종건 이식 그룹$(8.3\%)$보다 자가 건 이식 그룹$(33.3\%)$에서 더 많이 발생되어 통계학적으로 의미있는 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론 : 동종 골-슬개건-골 이식건을 이용시에 슬개-대퇴부 동통 및 탄발음 등이 현저하게 적은 빈도를 보였으므로, 자가 이식건의 대용으로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone has been considered as the gold standard in the treatment of the ACL insufficiency. There are many reports about the good functional outcome and the restored stability of the knee joint. But there are a few reports showing whether this surgery has good results in the patients' satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patients' satisfaction in this surgery. Authors analysed 32 cases who had taken the ACL reconstruction from Jannuary, 1989 to June, 1997. The average follow-up was 40 months. At the last follow-up, 32 patients reported the patients' satisfaction degrees(four degrees; very satisfied, generally satisfied, improved, no change or aggravated), KT-1000 arthrometer test, Vastus atrophy(thigh circumference), and three kinds of the knee scores(Lysholm, HSS, IKDC). Among the 32 cases, 12 cases (37.5%) were very satisfied, 17 cases(53.1%) were generally satisfied and 3 cases(9.4%) were improved. No case showed no change or aggravated. The satisfaction degree in this surgery had little relation with the age, operation time, follow-up period, combination of meniscectomy, but had significant relations with anteroposterior stability evaluated by KT-1000, thigh circumference measurements and the functional scoring of the knee(Lysholm, HSS, IKDC scores).
