PURPOSE: To analyze the causes of fixation failure of compression hip screw and evaluate outcomes of hip arthroplasty for reconstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 108 femoral intertrochanteric fractures that underwent compression hip screw between January 1997 and December 2007. Failure group (group I) contained 28 cases who had hip arthroplasty for failed compression hip screw and the control group (group II) contained 80 cases who had successive compression hip screw. We analyzed the causes of failure of compression hip screw and evaluated the results of hip arthroplasty for reconstruction. RESULTS: In group I, 21 cases (75%) were unstable fractures. Group II, 14 cases (17%) were unstable fractures. Tip-apex distance was 26.5 (18~35) mm in group I and 18.6 (8~22) mm in group II. Lateral wall fracture of greater trochanteric area was combined in 24 cases (85.7%) in group I and 9 cases (11.3%) in group II. Harris Hip Score improved from 33.5 (22~43) points to 84.2 (75~93) points after salvage hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION: We considered the causes of failed compression hip screw to be fracture instability, increased tip-apex distance and presence of lateral wall fracture of greater trochanter. Hip arthroplasty was found to be a useful method for failed compression hip screw.

Mucormycosis is a rare, fulminating, opportunistic fungal infection that occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts such as patients with diabetes, leukemia, lymphoma. These fungi are ubiquitous in nature, and can be found on decaying vegetation and in the soil. So they are relatively frequent contaminants in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Recently the incidence of mucormycosis is rising associated with the increasing use of immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics. Though mucormycosis is frequently fatal, there has been a significant improvement in the outcome by early diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Mucormycosis can be categorized as rhinocerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, widely disseminated and miscellaneous; gastro-intestinal involvement is extremely rare. We report a patient with gastric mucormycosis who had diabetes mellitus and alcoholic hepatitis. His chief complaint was an epigastric pain, and the gastroscopy showed huge multiple ulcers, coated with exudates. The histologic examination revealed multiple broad, nonseptate hyphae with right angle branchings, diagnosed as mucormycosis.

Addisons disease is relatively rare than secondary adrenal insufficiency and result from progressive adrenocortical destruction. The common causes are idiopathic autoimmune atrophy and tuberculosis of adrenal glands. It is generally regarded as incurable in the sense that substitution therapy is required for the rest of the patients life. We report a case of tuberculous primary adrenal insufficiency which was confirmed by biopsy. This case was treated with antituberculous medication and showen to have improved adrenocortical function after six months.

Cellular schwannoma is a very rare benign tumor involving peripheral nerves, mimicking malignant nerve sheath tumor in histological appearance. It is a clinico-pathological variant of benign schwannoma characterized by a high cellularity, increased mitotic figures and occasional presence of bone destruction. A 6-month-old female patient was admitted with progressive quadriparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed a well-enhancing extramedullary mass on the C4 to C6 area. Total laminectomy was performed on C4-7, and intradural extramedullary tumor was removed. Histologically, the tumor was composed of proliferated spindle cells. Most of the tumor was composed of Antoni A area with hypercellular spindle cells arranged in fascicular pattern. The tumor cells showed mild atypism with mitotic figure upto 4/10HPF and diffuse, strong S-100 protein immunostaining. The patient was improved postoperatively.

PURPOSE: The most important step for patients who come to the emergency department with ureter stones is acute pain management. There have been insufficient studies on what factors affect acute pain management for ureteral colic the most. In this study, patients with ureteral colic were divided into two groups: one group, in which the pain was first managed with an analgesic, and another group with unmanaged pain, to find factors that most affect additive analgesics administration for ureter stones. METHODS: There were 121 patients, eventually confirmed for the presence of ureter stones through a computed tomography CT scan, included in this study. When ureter stones were suspected after the initial patient evaluation, initial pain was assessed through numerical rating scale (NRS) and the first analgesic was administered once. Pain was reassessed through NRS after 30 minutes. At that time, if the pain was managed, the patient was assigned to Group 1. If the pain persisted, another analgesic was administered for the second and third time, and the patient was assigned to Group 2. Finally, ureter stones were identified through CT scan. RESULTS: There were 58 patients (47.9%) in Group 1 and 63 patients (52.1%) in Group 2. There were no statistically significant differences in average age, serum creatinine, size of ureter stone, and severity of hematuria between the two groups. The differences in NRS measured initially and after 30 minutes were statistically significant (7.6+/-1.4 vs. 8.6+/-1.2, p<0.001; 1.4+/-1.3 vs. 6.6+/-1.9, p<0.001, respectively). The presence of hydronephrosis and perirenal edema were also statistically significant (p<0.001, p=0.007). The affecting factor for the administration of additive analgesics was hydronephrosis (odds ratio 7.213, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Hydronephrosis is an important factor in the treatment of patients with additive analgesics. It can also be used as a predictive index to assess the severity of pain in patients with ureter stones.

Interferon (IFN) alpha is commonly used for the treatment of chronic hepatits C with a combination of ribavirin. There are numerous dermatologic adverse events of IFN, such as xerosis, pruritus, alopecia, and injection site reaction. Panniculitis is one of the rare cutaneous side effects of IFN treatment, which may have a significant reduction on patient's quality of life and may lead to discontinuation of the treatment. Although there have been several reports of panniculitis induced by IFN-beta, IFN-alpha induced panniculitis are rarely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of panniculitis caused by pegylated IFN alpha2a injection in a patient with chronic hepatitis C.

Multiple primary cancer is defined as the case of primary malignant tumors of different histologic origins each other in one person, The incidence of multiple primary cancer has been increasing recently due to more developed diagnostie procedure and long survival of cancer patients. In esophageal cancer patients, comibined prevalence of other malignancy is rela tively high. We have experienced three cases of gastric adenocarcinoma with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and report these cases with a review of literatures.
