Island flaps have been widely used for the management of soft tissue defects in reconstructive surgery. The necrosis of the flap has been a catastrophe in clinical fields. It is well known that revascularization to the flap after ligation of its pedicle comes from the recipient bed and flap margins. The authors investigated the effects of the ischemic recipient bed on island flap survival after the ligation of its pedicle in the rats. One hundred and thirty inferior epigastric island flaps were divided into three groups (Group I, Group II, and Group III) according to the degree (0%,20%, and 60%) of interruption of contact of flap with the recipient bed, respectively. In Group I,the vascular pedicles were ligated before and on the 0, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days after flap elevation, and in Group II & III, the vascular pedicles were ligated on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days after flap elevation. Flap survival was assessed on the 3rd day after pedicle ligation. Microangiographic studies were also performed on the 3rd day after pedicle ligation to study revascularization within the flap and the change of blood vessels around the flap margins. The results were as follows: 1. Flap survival was increased significantly in the flaps with pedicle ligation on the 4th and 5th postoperative days compared to those at the 2nd and 3rd postoperative days. 2. From the 3rd postoperative day, flap survival was not influenced significantly by the degree of limited bed contact and the date of pedicle ligation. 3. In spite of limited bed contact, the flap will likely survive with abundant revascularization from the flap margins. In conclusion, the flaps with limited bed contact were revascularized significantly from the flap margin by the 3rd postoperative day.

Tumors involving the proximal humerus confront the surgeon with the problem of both eradicating the osseous lesions and restoring shoulder joint function. This problem is magnified because of the biomechanical complexity of the shoulder, its anatomic configuration, and its inherent lack of stabillity. With the increased interest in limb-sparing resection for lesions in the area, efforts are being made to improve the reconstructive techniques. These include leaving a flail shoulder, an being made to improve the reconstructive techniques. These include leaving a flail shoulder, an arthrodesis using intercalery graft between the scapula and the remaining humerus, or if the glenoid is preserved, an arthroplasy. From January 1984 to December 1993, 23 patients with a malignant or locally aggressive bone tumor in the proximal humerus were treated by limb-sparing surgery in Seoul National University Hospital. Histologic diagnosis included osteosarcoma(6), chondrosarcoma(2), Ewing's sarcoma(1), metastatic bone tumor(11), and recurred giant cell tumor(3). Options for reconstruction following limb-sparing resection in our cases were 10 prosthetic arthroplasties, 3 arthrodeses with an living fibula graft, and 10 arthroplasties with intramedullary nailing and cementization. We performed a retrospective analysis in view of tumor eradication and performance status with modified functional evaluation system of Musculoskeletal tumor Society. In 7 cases(74%), good or fair performance status was acquired with average 3.6 years follow-up(6 months-11 years). Each option for reconstruction resulted in relatively good outcome but rather better result was acquired in giant cell tumor and chondrosarcoma. Estimated survival rates by Kaplan-Meier's method, 5 year survival rate was 81% in primary malignant bone tumors(12), 76% in stage Ⅱ B malignancies(5) with 4 years and 4 months follow-up. There was no regional recurrence in primary malignant bone tumors but there were three cases in which distant pulmonary metastases were found in follow-up. Complicationss were one soft tissue infection, two nonunions in arthrodesis with a living fibula graft and one dislodgement of prosthesis in prosthetic arthroplasty. In summary, each option for limb-sparing surgery in malignant bone tumor of proximal humerus might result in rather satisfactory outcome in performance and survival rate when effective preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy were performed in adequately selected cases.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stress distribution in the bone around dental implants supporting mandibular overdenture according to the number of implant and the type of attachment. Two or four implants were placed in an edentulous mandibular model and three dimensional photoelastic stress analysis was carried out to measure the fringe order around the implant supporting structure and also to calculate principle stress components at cervical area of each implant. The attachments tested were rigid and resilient type of Dolder bar, Round bar, Hader bar and Dal-Ro attachment. The results were as follows; 1. In 2-implant supported overdenture using Round bar, Hader bar, and Dal-Ro attachment, compressive stress pattern was observed on the supporting structure of implant on loaded side, while tensile stress pattern in unloaded side. 2. In 2-implant supported overdenture using Dolder bar, the rigid Dolder bar shared the occlusal loads between 2 implants in a more favorable manner than was exhibited by the resilient type, while the resilient type placed a more stress on the distocervical area of the implant on the loaded side. But compressive stress pattern was observed in both the loaded and unloaded sides in either case. 3. In 2-implant supported overdenture, rigid and resilient type of Dolder bar exhibited more cross arch involvement than the Round bar, Hader bar, or Dal-Ro attachment. 4. In 4-implant supported overdenture using resilient Dolder bar and Hader bar, stress turned out to be distributed evenly among the implants between loaded and unloaded side, but ther was no reduction in the magnitude of the stress in the surrounding structure of implant contratry to 2-implant supported overdenture.. 5. The stress pattern at cervical area of implant was different with the number of implant or the type of attachment but the overload, harmful to surrounding structure of implant, was not observed.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: ErbB receptor proteins are transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors; when they are activated by interaction with ligands, they generate diverse cellular responses, especially during lesion development and progression to cancer. In this study the expression of ErbB receptors and TGF-alpha were investigated using an experimental cirrhosis rat model giving rise to hepatocellular neoplasms, similar to human liver diseases. METHODS: Fifty three male rats received intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN, 50 mg/kg), weekly for 18 weeks. Until the eighth week, two rats were sacrificed every two weeks and from the tenth to the eighteenth week, five rats were sacrificed weekly. Grossly, dyschromatic and dysmorphic nodules were counted and categorized into three groups: N1/N2/N3: 3 mm < or = x < 5 mm/5 mm < or = x < 10 mm/x > or = 10 mm in diameter. All nodules were examined, histologically. Antibodies for GSTp, TGF-alpha, EGF-R, ErbB2, ErbB3 and ErbB4 were used for immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The onset of cirrhoses was noted from the twelfth week. Preneoplastic foci, hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) were noted from the second, eleventh and fifteenth week, respectively. The nodules (N1/N2/N3: 397/258/64) included regenerating nodule; RN (N1/N2/N3: 72.3%/15.9%/0%), HCA (N1/N2/N3: 27.2%/82.2%/7.6%) and HCC (N1/N2/N3: 0.5%/ 1.9%/92.4%). EGF-R was expressed in 12.5% of RN, 64.7% HCA and 75.2% HCC. TGF-alpha was expressed in 92.4% of RN, 91.3% HCA and 93.2% HCC. Sixty eight percent of TGF-alpha expressing nodules showed concurrent EGF-R expression. ErbB2 was expressed in 83.6% of RN, 72.9% HCA and 88.7% HCC. ErbB4 was expressed in 95.2% of RN, 86.3% HCA and 62.5% HCC. CONCLUSIONS: Increased expression of EGF-R and decreased expression of ErbB4, might be related with tumor progression during DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.

The clinical and pathological features of a paraganglioma arising in the cauda equina is described and compared with previous reports. The right microscopic fetures were similar to those of paragangliomas from other sites, with a 'Zellballen' pattern of cells containing arzyrophil granules. Immunohistocytochemical stains for neurone specific enolase, S-100 protein, cytokeratin were positive, but stains for glial fibrillary acidic protein were negative. Electron microscopy showed densely staining membrane-bound granules, cilia like structures and fibros bodies in the cytoplasm. The last two features only occur in paragangliomas from this site. The pathological findings suggest that paragangliomas in this site arise from pre-existing paraganglia, possibly of the visceral autonomic group.
