IVRO is a popular procedure to setback prognathic mandible. But guided functional physiotherapy after IVRO is the most important factor to get successful result, because there have been some concerns over an openbite tendency following this procedure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the early adaptability to fuctional phsiotherapy and early openbite tendency associated with the kinds of surgery performed. The study was performed in fifty patients who had received bilateral IVRO from 1993 to 1994. After two weeks of maxillomandibular fixation(MMF), active physiotherapy was carried out according to Park's protocol and detail of openbite tendency was checked. We recorded the number of days for physiotherapy to analzye the adaptability in early physiotherapy until there was no more openbite tendency. The following results were obtained. 1. The adaptability in early physiotherapy to prevent openbite tendency following IVRO was more favorable in two-jaw surgery group than one-jaw surgery group.(p<0.005) 2. The adaptability in early physiotherapy was more favorable in lesser mandibular setback group than larger setback group, but there was no statistical significance. (p<0.05). 3. The adaptability in early physiotherapy was more favorable in posterior impaction group than non-posterior impaction group, but there was no statistical significance.(p<0.05). 4. The cases which MMF was applied again because of the strong openbite tendency were more plentiful in one-jaw surgery group than in two-jaw surgery group. 5. First two or three days after releasing of maxillomandibular fixation might be the critical period to prevent anterior openbite tendency, and if the partient shows strong openbite tendency during this period, 4-5 days of reapplication of MMF was enough to prevent openbite tendency .

Apodemus agrarius has been using for experimental purpose to identifying the route of infection and pathogenesis of korean hemorrhagic fever. However, despite the increasing amount of information being published at present about the physiologic and ecologic characteristics of Apodemus, few data are availalle about the morphologic findings in the brain. The NADPH-diaphorase[NADPH-d] positive neurons, uniquely resistant to toxic insults and neurodegenerative diseases, have been colocalized with neurons in the brain and peripheral tissue containing nitric oxide synthase, which generates nitric oxide, a recently identified neuronal messenger molecule. In this study we used NADPH-d histochemistry to evaluate the distribution of neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive[NPY-IR] cells within neurons which contain nitric oxide synthase. In the cerebral cortex of Apodemus agrarius, NADPH-d positive and NPY-IR neurons were observed in all cortical layers, but they were concentrated in two bands layer II/III and V/VI extending into the subcortical white matter. Double labeling for NADPH-d and NPY showed colocalization of NPY with NADPH-d in numerous neurons of the cerebral cortex. The data obtained showed that about 74-79% of NPY-IR neurons contained NADPH-d in the neocortex and that 77-89% in the allocortex. The number of NPY-IR/NADPH-d positive neurons was about 10-13 per unit area [2,500,000 micrometer] in the neocortex and about 11-25 in the allocortex except retrosplenial cortex. In the retrosplenial cortex, the number of double labeled neurons was about 5 per unit area. NPY-IR and NADPH-d positive neurons were predominantly medium-sized with extended, multipolar or bipolar dendritic branches which belong to fusiform or stellate cell types. A moderately dense network of fine, varicose NADPH-d positive fibers was present throughout all cortical layers.

Rotatory Instability of the permitting abnormal external totation of the tibia on the femur is the result af forced abduction of the flexed knee and external rotation of the tibia. The basic lesion is a tear in the medlal capsular ligament. The authors have reported clinical study in 40 patients with medial collateral ligament injuries who were treated by operative methods in the Orthopedic Department at the Taegu Presbyterian Hospital from January 1973 to Octdber 1979. of 40 patients, pes anserinus transplantation was performed on 15 patients and direct repair on 25 patients. The results are as followings: 1. All the patients were seen with a complete rupture of the medial collateral ligament and of these 45% had rupture of the femoral attachement. 2. Exellent to good result were more often obtained in recent injuries of less than 2 weeks rather than those in older Injuries. 3. Exellent to good result were more often obtained in the groups of Pes Anserinus tranplantation than the groups of direct repair. 4. In all cases of groups of pes anserinus transplantation, permanent sensory palsy af the patellar branches of the saphenous nerve was present due to the location of the surgical incision.

PURPOSE: Results of 181 percutaneous needle aspiration biopsies performed with an 18-gauge needle during a period of 3 years were analyzed to determine efficacy and safety of the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biposies were performed in patients that could not be diagnosed by bronchoscopy or sputum cytology. The biopsy procedure with 18-gauge Crown needle was guided by fiuoroscopy. The biopsy specimen placed in 10% formalin solution were histologically confirmed. RESULTS: In 160 patients(89%), the positive diagnosis was made by percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy. There were 153 lung lesions(120 malignant and 33 benign lesions) and 7 mediastinal lesions. the diagnostic accuracy of malignant and benign disease was 91% and 80% respectively. Complications included pneumothorax(n=11) and hemothorax(n=l):six of them required treatment with chest tube and the remainder showed spontaneous resporption. CONCLUSION: PCNB with an 18-gauge needle provided a reliable, relatively safe diagnostic tool to establish the diagnosis of both malignant and benign chest lesions.

10.Clinical Characteristics of Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis.
Korean Journal of Urology 2004;45(9):935-940
PURPOSE: In most cases, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is diffusely or focally enlarged, mimicking a neoplastic process. The purpose of this study was to improve the preoperative diagnosis of this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical characteristics, laboratory and radiological findings, preoperative diagnoses and operative methods of 13 patients with XGP, who underwent an operation between 1979 and 2004, were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had undergone intravenous pyelography(IVP) and ultrasonography. Their mean age was 51+/-3.3 years (range 30 to 71), with a male to female ratio of 4 to 9. RESULTS: All 13 patients had flank pain, 8(61.5%) had a urinary tract infection and 9(69.2%) with benign renal disease preoperatively underwent a simple nephrectomy. Four patients preoperatively diagnosed with a renal cell carcinoma(RCC) underwent a radical nephrectomy. 3 patients had extended to the psoas muscle. On the basis of the ultrasonographic features: (1) 6(46.1%) were diffuse hydronephrotic; (2) 4(30.8%) were diffuse parenchymal; (3) 2(15.4%) were diffuse contracted, and (4) 1(7.7%) was segmental or focal. On the basis of the computed tomography(CT) features, the diffuse or global forms(88.9%) were more common than the localized or focal forms(11.1%). Diffuse XGP may be staged as follows: Stage I(25%), involvement is limited to the kidney; Stage II(50%), involvement extends to the perirenal fat within Gerota's fascia; Stage II(25%), involvement extends beyond the Gerota's fascia into another organ. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative diagnosis of XGP will be raised through a better understanding of the characteristics and radiological findings of this disease.
