Priapism is a well recognized complication of some oral medications. Those most commonly cited are: antipsychotic drugs, especially the phenolhiazine: trazodone and chlorpromazine :and the antihyperlensive drugs hydralazine, guanethidine and prazocin. We report a case or priapism associated with the use of chlorpromazine who experienced 2 episodes or priapism and never experience priapism after cessation of the drug.

We designed this study to investigate the effects of adenosine on penile erection in Sprague- Dawley rats, in vivo. This was performed by simultaneous monitoring intracavernosal pressure( ICP) and systemic blood pressure with UROCOMPACT 6000 plus( WIEST, Germany) after intracavernosal injection of adenosine, papaverine and adenosine plus papaverine. Increment of maximal ICP was observed in the adenosine treated-group (0.015 to 0.15mg, n=30) in dose dependent manner, i.e., 15.8+/-0.95cmH2O with 0.015mg adenosine to 44.6+/-2.72cmH2O with 0.15mg adenosine, in mean ICP(n=l0, P<0.05). A similar finding was observed in the papaverine treated-group (0.015 to 0.15mg, n =30) in dose dependent manner. i.e., 28.1+/-2.88cmH2O with 0.015mg papaverine to 62.3+/-4.93cmH2O with 0.15mg papaverine, in mean ICP (n=10, P<0.05). The additive effect of adenosine plus papaverine treated-group( 0.015 + 0.015 to 0.15 +0.l5mg, n=30) was to enhance the results obtained by adenosine or papaverine alone in dose dependent manner. i.e., 50.7+/-1.71cmH2O with 0.015mg + 0.015mg papaverine to 79.5+/-5.63cmH2O with 0.15mg adenosine + 0.15mg papaverine. in mean ICP(n= 10, P<0.05). These results suggest that adenosine plays an important role on penile erection in rats. Adenosine may be useful for the future management of impotence, although the clinical effect remains to be investigated.

Suprapubic cystostomy by trocar is a simple, safe and useful method for urinary diversion in acute urinary retention. But rarely, severe complications occur during or after suprapubic cystostomy such as bowel perforation, through and through perforation of the bladder, rectal injury and severe hematuria. We studied the complications of suprapubic cystostomy retrospectively and compared 19 patients who performed ultrasonographic examination with 30 patients without ultrasonographic examination. The complications in 30 patients without preliminary ultrasonographic examination were initial failure in 4 cases (13.3%), extravesical Foley indwelling in 2 cases (6.7%), puncture site closed to the pubic bone in 2 cases (6.7%), spontaneous bladder rupture in 1 case (3.3%) and bowel injury in 1 case (3.3%). But, the complication in 19 patients with preliminary ultrasonographic examination was only 1 retried case (5.3%) because of extravesical Foley indwelling. As above results, the brief preliminary ultrasonographic examination of the bladder is a very useful method with minimal risk during suprapubic cystostomy by trocar.

Syphilis is a communicahble disease caused by the motile microaerophilic spirochete Treponema pallidum, which is only a netural pathogen for human. Prevalence of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases has traditioially fluctuated with changes in sccia, conditions and sexual behavior. Although sexual contact is the main route of transmission, T. pallidum may also be infected through direct contact with syphilitic lesions, blood transfusion, ingestion of menstrual blood or vaginal secretions, or trsnsplacental transemission. Fomites as the means of transfer is only hypothetical and account for very few, if any, infection. Prosectors, blood handlers and laboratory technicians are at risk for accidental inoculation with infected materials. In extremely unusual circumstances, infection by means of contact with a skin lesion and human bite have been reported. We report two cases of eyphilis following the abnormal imposition of hands, which caused unnecessary erosive trauma with fingernails,

The ultrasonographic features in 26 cases of blunt testicular trauma were reviewed. Ultrasonography diagnosed correctly in 11 surgically proven cases of testicular rupture. There were three false-positive cases, two with a large scrotal hematocele and one with epididymis rupture. there were no false-negative cases. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonographic diagnosis were 100% and 80% respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 78. 6% and 100% respectively. Therefore, the negative diagnosis by ultrasonography can warrant conservative therapy.

Purpose:
This study assessed the results of surgical treatment for Neer type-II and type-V unstable distal clavicle fractures via hybrid fixation with a locking compression plate and finger trap wire.
Materials and Methods:
From September 2016 to April 2018, 15 patients treated for Neer type-II and type-V unstable distal clavicle fractures using hybrid fixation were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical results were analyzed based on the radiological healing time, range of motion of the shoulder joint, American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score, and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score.
Results:
The range of motion of the shoulder joint completely recovered to the normal range within 9.2 weeks on average (6−24 weeks). Furthermore, the follow-up of the clinical trial showed excellent results, including an ASES score of 98.5±2.3 and an UCLA score of 34.2±1.3. In addition, fracture union was successfully achieved in all cases, and was identified during week 15 on average.
Conclusion
For the treatment of unstable distal clavicle fractures, hybrid fixation is a useful surgical method with excellent clinical outcomes through rapid recovery of the range of motion of the shoulder joint after surgery.

VATER association of vertebral defects, imperforate anus, tracheoesophageal (T-E) fistula with esiphageal atresia, and radial and renal dysplasia are utilized to identify this complex. Other anomalies are vascular anomalies (cardiac defects and single umbilical artery), and prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, defects of external genital and urinary tract as well as bone defects (preaxial lower extremity anomalies, supernumerary digits, rib anomaly). This pattern of malformation generally occurs sporadically in an otherwise normal family, and may occur as a part of a broader pattern, such as the trisomy 18, del (4p, 6q, and 13q) syndromes, and sirenomelia. As inversion of chromosome does not lose of genetic materials, phenotypic abnormalities does not occur. But rare cases have been reported. We report a neonate who had multiple congenital anomalies, including the VATER association defects associated with an unusual chromosomal abnormality, a paracentric inversion of chromosome 6 : 46, XY, .inv (6)(q11q16).

Drowning is the second most common cause of accidental death of children in Korea. But the study of near-drowning is very rare in Korea. The purpose of our study is to determine the factors that may influence survival on the basis of submersion time, consciousness state upon admission to hospital, the kinds of water, laboratory findings and neurological outcomes. The survey was performed by a retrospective cohort study on 28 near drowning victims of less than 15 years of age who were admitted to the emergency room in the Chosun University Hospital between May 1988 & May 1997. The results were as follows 1) Sex distribution was 22 males and 6 females. 2) Submersion time was (5 minutes in 9 cases, 5-9 minutes in 6 cases,10-14 minutes in 5 cases,15-19 minutes in 3 cases, > or =20 minutes in 5 cases. 3) Comatose patients upon arrival were 6/7 cases in the death group(86%) and 2/21 cases in the improved group(10%). they had unfavorable outcomes(P<0.05). 4) The first pH value was mean 7.02)0.12 in the death group and mean 7.31 +/-0.13 in the improved group. there was a statistically significant difference between the death and the improved group(P<0.05). 5) The patients who had increased blood glucose concentration were all 7 cases in the death group and 12/22 cases in the improved group(54%). The mean blood glucose concentration was mean 424.7235.6mg/dl in the death group and mean 140.182.7mg/dl in the improved group. There was a statistically significant difference between the death and the improved group(P<0.05). 6) The patients who had pulmonary edema upon arrival were all 7 cases in the death group and 1/21 cases in the improved group(18%). They had unfavorable outcomes(P<0.05). 7) The patients who had been submerged more than 15 minutes were all 7 cases in the death group and 6/21 cases in the improved group(5%). They had unfavorable outcomes(P<0.05). We conclude that pediatric victims of near-drowning can be assigned to high or low likelihoods of unfavorable outcomes with the use of five variables, comatose mentation upon arrival, decreased initial blood pH, increased initial blood glucose concentration, pulmonary edema, and maximum submersion time estimated longer than fifteen minutes. This prediction rule may be useful if it can be validated in another cohort.
