Kim, Jin-Soo,Kim, Jae-Duk 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2005 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.35 No.4

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common cancer worldwide, primarily affecting those in regions with a high prevalence of viral hepatitis. However, the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to the oral cavity is a rare phenomenon. This report presents a case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma in the left mandibular angle and ramus region of a 62-year-old man. Panoramic radiograph revealed an ill-defined radiolucent lesion extending from the retained root of the mandibular left second molar into the ascending ramus. The lesion had irregular and ill-defined margins.

목적 : 경피적 관동맥 중재술은 최근 양적 및 질적으로 급격한 발전을 보였지만 시술 시 천자부위의 혈관 합병증은 아직 해결해야 할 문제점이다. 저자들은 대퇴동맥을 통한 경피적 관동맥 중재술을 환자에게 천자부위 지혈을 위한 혈관폐쇄기구인 안지오실의 안전성과 유용성을 고식적인 용수 압박법과 비교 연구하고자 하였다. 방법 : 2002년 4월부터 2003년 5월 사이에 삼성서울병원 심장혈관센터에서 대퇴동맥을 통한 경피적 관동맥 중재술을 성공적으로 시행한 200명의 환자(안지오실 사용군: A군, 100명, 고식적 용수압박법 사용군 B군, 100명)를 대상으로 시술 후 주요 합병증 및 경한 합병증, 지혈 후 환자가 자리에 앉기까지의 시간, 보행개시 가능시간, 총 재원 기간과 시술 1주 후의 합병증을 전향적으로 조사하여 비교 연구하였다. 결론 : 두 군에서 연령, 성별, 기저질환, 심혈관 질환의 위험요소, 시술의 종류, 시술 중 사용한 헤파린의 양, clopidogrel의 양, ticlopidine의 양, 지혈 시 수축기와 확장기혈압, ACT (activated clotting time)는 차이가 없었다. A군이 B군에 비해 시술 후 자리에 앉기까지의 시간 (A군: 4.3±0.3시간, B군: 13.7±0.8시간, p=0.004) 및 보행개시까지의 시간(A군: 6.8±0.5시간, B군: 18.8±2.1시간, p=0.013)이 유의하게 짧았다. 시술 후 주요 합병증은 두군 모두에서 관찰되지 않았으며, 경한 합병증의 전체발생은 A군에서 유의하게 적었다(A군: 28명, B군: 19명, p=0.003). 반상출혈의 경우는 A군에서 유의하게 낮았지만(A군: 3명, B군: 12명, p=0.01), 혈종, 출혈의 발생은 두군간에 차이가 없었다. 총 재원기간에는 두 군간에 차이가 없었다(p=0.239). 시술 1주 후 경과관찰에서 주요합병증은 역시 두 군 모두에서 관찰되지 않았으며, 경한 합병증의 전체발생은 두 군에서 차이가 없었다(A군: 15명, B군: 13명 p=0.418), 반상출혈의 빈도는 차이가 없었지만 혈종의 발생은 A군에서 더 낮았다(A군: 2명, B군:6명, p=0.004). 두 군 모두에서 출혈은 발생하지 않았다. 결론 : 대퇴동맥을 통한 경피적 관동맥 중재술을 시행한 환자에서 안지오실의 사용은 고식적 용수 압박법에 비해 환자의 침상 안정시간을 줄여 조기 활동개시가 가능하게 하였으며 국소합병증의 위험도를 일부 낮추어, 시술에 따른 환자의 불편을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있다고 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. Background : Although the number and the quality of percutaneous coronary intervention have been recently increased dramatically, the vascular complication at puncture site is still the major cause of patients' morbidity. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of newly of newly-developed collagen-based arterial closure device, Angioseal after transfemoral percuatenous coronary intervention. Methods : This study was designed as a prospective single center non-randomized comparative study. A total 200 patients undergoing transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled between April 2002 and May 2003. They were divided into two groups; Angioseal group (group A, n=100) and manual compression group (group B, n=100). The baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were reviewed. The time to sit up, the time to ambulation, the duration of hospital stay, major and minor vascular puncture site complications were monitored. The patients were followed-up for 1 week after procedure by telephone. Results : The baseline clinical characteriwtics, clinical diagnosis, cardiocascular risk factors, typesof procedure, doses and numbers of anticoagulants were similar between two groups. The blood pressure and activated clotting time were also similar. The time to sit up (group A: 4.3±0.3 hours, group B: 13.7±0.8 hours, p=0.004) and the time to ambulation (group A: 6.8±0.5 hours, group B: 18.8±2.1 hours, p=0.013) were shorter in group A. No major vascular complications were noted. The incidence of hematoma and bleeding were not significantly different between two groups. The incidence of ecchymosis, however, was significantly lower in group A (group A:12%, group B: 3%, p=0.001) The duration of gospital stay was similar between groups. During 7 days of follow-up period incidence of hematoma was significantly lower in group A (p=0.004). Although the incidence of ecchymosis was not significantly different between two groups. Conclusion : The angioseal may be associated with earlier ambulation and less patients' morbidity with low incidence of local complication rate compared to manual compression after transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention.

Kim, Jae-Duk,Kim, Jin-Soo 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2005 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.35 No.4

Purpose : To classify and describe the characteristic features of MRI of some ameloblastoma variants. Materials and Methods : The MR images, CT images, and panoramic radiographs in 5 cases were retrospectively examined as follows. First, the contents of ameloblastomas were devided into two portions of either solid or cystic components on the basis of MR signal intensities. The signal intensity within the solid or cystic portions was classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Next, the characteristic internal feature of the lesion on T1W1 or T2WI was described. The signal intensities were classified into low, intermediate, slightly high, high, and strong high signal intensity. Results : Unicystic lesion showed homogeneous high signal intensity (SI) on T2W2 and the rim enhancement of the surrounding area including the mural nodule and the thick wall except the central portion on Gd-T1W1 Solid type revealed heterogeneous and high SI area with strong high SI area on T2W2. On Gd-T1W1, the area corresponding to the low signal spot on T1W1 and the strong high signal spot on T2W1 showed low SI. Hybrid type showed slightly enhanced capsular structures and low SI for the round bony septa and the areas connecting the mixed and cystic lesions on T2W1 and Gd-T1W1. Conclusion : MRI could easily assess the relationship between the mixed and cystic findings in ameloblastoma.

As medical technology progresses rapidly, there is a rise in the average age along with the Korean dietary lifestyle becoming more westernized, which leads to an increase in the number of vascular disease patients in Korea. Thus, we need to manage the medical information of a disease systematically in order to diagnose and treat constructively. However, since there has been no standardized method of man agement to date, a great deal of information could not be properly utilized nor studied. Therefore, the departments of Cardiology, Radiology and Neurology of Samsung Seoul Hospital recently got together to develop an information management system called the Vascular Data System. This program was developed to be run on win98 O/S, upper Pentium Ⅲ, and upper 128 MB Memory, and its source code is Dephi 4.0. It was configured for the user to set the configurations as well as do a variety of search and analysis. If this program were to be updated continuously, it may be used extensively as well as in various parts of clinical research activities.

Condylar hyperplasia is a self-limiting condition characterized by a slowly progressing, enlargement of the mandible that results in facial asymmetry and a crossbite malocclusion. The facial asymmetry, open bite or crossbite, and radiographic evidence of an enlarged condyle confirm the diagnosis of condylar hyperplasia. The etiology of the condition is unknown. This condition usually first becomes apparent during the second decade of life, when one condyle continues to grow while the other is no longer active. Radiographically, the condyle may appear enlarged or the neck of the condyle may be elongated or both may occur, Sometimes, however, no radiographically demonstrable condylar abnormality will be noted. Surgical correction with subcondylar osteotomy is the treatment of choice. We have observed two cases of condylar hyperplasia occurred in the mandibular condyle of 24-year-old and 35-year-old women. We obtained that two cases were shown the followed results; 1. Clinically, both cases was unilaterally developed on C/C area, with temporomandibular disorders and pain, facial asymmetry and malocclusion. 2. Radiographically, hyperplastic mass confined to the condyle. 3. Histopathologically, these cases shown increased hypertrophic region in parts, and lamellated bone with irregular trabeculae.

Yong-Dae Kim1, Hyojin Kwon, Sun-In Moon, Sang-Yong Eom, Jung-Duk Park, Byung-Sun Choi, Seok-Joon Sohn, Young-Seoub Hong, Ho Kim, Ho-Jang Kwon, Ji-Ae Lim, Hae-Jung Yoon, Gwang-Jin Kim, Heon Kim 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.3

Competitive ELISA methods were used to measure the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) from urine in 1008 Korean adults. Subjects were selected by random sampling in all areas of Korea, except Cheju-do. The recovery rate of AFM1 using this method was 105% (73-124%). The geometric mean of urinary AFM1 in all subjects was 3.43 pg/mL (3.67 ng/g creatinine). The level of AFM1 in males was statistically higher, compared with female subjects. However, the levels of AFM1 did not differ according to age. Subjects in Chungbuk-do showed the highest urinary AFM1 concentration, whereas subjects in Kyeongnam-do showed the lowest concentration. Assuming an excretion rate of 5%, this AFM1 excretion corresponds to approximately 0.1 microgram/day in Korean adults.

Blockers of renin-angiotensin system(RAS) including ACE inhibitor or ARB are one of the most frequently prescribed medications for the treatment of hypertension, heart failure and proteinuria. One of the major side effects of these RAS blockers is the deterioration of renal function, mainly due to a reduction of intraglomerular pressure. Therefore, close monitoring of renal function is recommended when RAS blockers are initially prescribed, especially for the patients with impaired renal function. We report a patient who was transferred to our hospital due to the sudden development of oliguria and dyspnea after treatment for hypertension with ACEi and ARB. She was finally diagnosed as RAS blocker-induced acute renal failure with pulmonary edema complicated on congenital solitary kidney. After hemodialysis and conservative treatment, her renal function was recovered with maintenance of normal urine output. Conclusion:This case highlights the necessity of the functional and structural evaluation of kidney to prevent the serious complication such as acute renal failure before the administration of ACEi and/or ARB.

김삼용,곽승근,박상은,윤환중,조덕연,김진만 충남대학교 의학연구소 2003 충남의대잡지 Vol.30 No.2

미만성 대형 B-세포 림프종은 가장 흔한 악성 림프종의 한 종류로서 우리나라에서는 전체 비호지킨 림프종의 50%를 차지한다. 비호지킨 림프종에서 병기는 호지킨병과는 달리 예후 인자로서의 유용성이 적다. 따라서 병기만을 예후 인자로서 평가하는 한계를 극복하기 위해 국제예후지표(International Prognostic Index)가 도입되었다. 특정 환자에서 IPI 점수와 함께 그 환자의 림프종의 생물학적 특성을 분석한다면 예후 예측에서 정확도가 높아질 것이다. 본 연구에서는 미만성 대형 B-세포 림프종에서 국제예후지표의 유용성을 확인하고자 하였으며, 각종 생물학적 지표의 면역화학염색을 통하여 이들을 배세포 중심 아형(germinal center subgroup : 이하 GC양 아형으로 약함)과 활성화 B-세포 아형(post-germinal center subgroup; 이후 pGC양 아형으로 약함)으로 분류하고 이들의 예후 예측에 대한 적절성을 평가하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 연령분포는 37세에서 69세로 중앙치는 56세이었으며, 남자는 17예(65.4%), 여자가 9예(34.6%)였다. 병기는 Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ기가 각각 2예(7.7%), 11예 (42.3%), 5예(19.2%), 8예(30.8%)였다. 'B'증상은 5예(19.2%)에서 양성이었다. 진단 당시 혈청 LDH치가 상승한 경우가 11예(42.3%)였고, 거대종양(직경이 10㎝이상)을 갖는 경우가 5예(19.2%)이었다. ECOG 수행등급은 0이 2예(7.7%), 1이 18예(69.2%), 2가 5예(19.2%), 3이 1예(3.8%)이었다. 2. 면역조직화학염색 상 bcl-2의 양성은 17예(65.4%), bcl-6의 양성이 20예(76.9%)이었다. CD10이 양성인 경우가 5예(19.2%)이었다. IRF-4가 양성인 경우는 8예(30.8%)였다. 26명의 환자에서 bcl-6, CD10과 IRF-4를 이용하여 GC양 아형과 pGC양 아형으로 분류 하였는데, GC양 아형은 14예(53.8%)이었고, pGC양 아형은 7예(26.9%), 분류가 되지 않는 경우가 5예(19.3%)이었다. 3. 평균 48개월 동안 추적한 결과 중앙생존기간은 44개월이었고 생존기간은 1~100+개월에 분포하였다. Kaplan-Meier법에 의한 5년 누적 생존률은 32%이었다. 4. 병기, 'B' 증상, 혈청 LDH 농도, ECOG 수행등급, 거대종양유무가 통계학적으로 의미있는 임상적 예후 인자였다. 5. 면연조직화학염색에서는 bcl-2만이 통계학적으로 유의한 예후인자였다. 6. GC양 아형은 pGC양 아형에 비해 생존기간은 좋았으나, 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 7. 다변량 분석결과 bcl-2 발현과 혈청 LDH치만이 예후에 영향을 미쳤다. Clinical Significanceof Expression of Biomarkers in Patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBL) is the most common type of lymphoma in Korea, representing about 50% of non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. Although DLBL is usually considered as a specific category, the diversity in clinical presentation, morphology, genetic and molecular alterations strongly suggest that these tumors represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasia rather than a single clinicopathological entity. Clinical prognostic systems, including the International Prognostic Index (IPI), although useful to assess overall prognosis, embraces patients with heterogeneous prognoses. It is likely that the prognostic assessment of patients with DLBL might be improved by using biological features. During the last decade, most studies dealing with the heterogeneity of DLBL have focused on individual protein expression and molecular alterations. The expression of individual antigens related to different stages of B-cell differentiation, including CD10, bcl-6, and IRF-4, may help to define groups of tumors with different clinical and pathological characteristics. To determine the clinical significance and prognostic value of individual biomarker expression and the biomarker expression patterns according to germinal center subgroup or post-germinal center subgroup of DLBL as defined by a relatively small number of single antigens, we studied 26 patients with de novo DLBL, whose archival pathology specimen were available for immunohistochemistry studies, atChungnam National University Hospital from September 1992 to December 2000. Archival specimens from each patient were immunostained with respective antibodies for CD10, bcl-6, IRF-4, bcl-2 antigens. Two immunophenotyping profiles were distinguished according to the pattern of differentiation; germinal center(GC;CD10/Bcl-6+/IRF-4-) subgroup or postgerminal center (pGC ; CD10/bcl-6/IRF4+) subgroup. The results are as follows; 1) Baseline characteristics of patients were ; median age of patients was 56(range ; 37-69). 17 patients(65.4%) were male. 5 patients(l9.2%) had 'B' symptoms. Stages were as follows ; stage Ⅰ2 patients(7.7%), stage Ⅱ 11 patients(42.3%), stage Ⅲ 5 patients(l9.2%), stage Ⅳ 8 patients(30.8%). 11 patients (42.3%) had elevated LDH levels. 25 patients(96.2%) had ECOG performance grade 0-Ⅱ and 1 patient had grade Ⅲ. 5 patients(l9.2%) bad bulky disease. 2) The results of immunohistochemical study were as follows ; positive bcl-2 staining in 17 patients(65.4%), positive bcl-6 in 20 patients(76.1%), positive CD10 in 5 patients(l9.2%), positive IRF-4 staining in 8 patients (30.8%). 3) After a median follow up duration of 48 months, the median survival duration was 44 months with a range of survival of 1-100+ months. 5-year overall survival rate was 32% by Kaplan-Meier method. 4) The clinical factors affecting survival were elevated serum LDH level, B symptoms, bulky disease, stage at diagnosis and ECOG performance status 5) Among the biomarkers, only bcl-2 expression affected survival of DLBL patients 6) The germinal center like subgroup had superior survival than post-germinal center like subgroup but had no statistical significance. 7) Multivariate analysis showed that bcl-2 and serum LDH level had siginificance on survival Conclusion In addition to the known clinical prognostic factors, immunohistochemically defined characteristics such as bcl-2 expressionin DLBL is important and subgroups(germinal center or post-germinal center subgroup) of DLBL may have importance in predicting prognosis of DLBL patients
