1.Characterization About Vibrio alginolyticus Phage Isolated from Marine Products.
Journal of the Korean Society for Microbiology 1997;32(1):81-90
Two phages for the pathogenic V. alginolyticus were isolated from marine products. These 2 phages were examined temperature stability, pH stability, inactivation by UV irradiation, damage on restriction system of host cell, antibody production, structure protein analysis and western blotting assay. V. alginolyticus phages(VAPs) fomed plaques about 0.5 - 0.9mm in diameter and bands 50 - 60% in sucrose density gradient, VAPs were stable below 65'C, pH 5 - 10 and mostly inactivation by UV irradiation for 120sec. Latend period was 15 - 20 min. and burst size was 1.3 - 1.4 * 10 PFU/cell. Restriction system of V. alginolyticus isolated was mostly inactivated by 45C, 20min. heating. VAPs had 14 specific structural proteins and 5 proteins related to antibody production.

In the literature, the scapular neck fracture with ipsilateral acromioclavicluar dislocation(type I), mid-clavicular fracture(type II) or sternoclavicular dislocation(type III) is defined as floating shoulder. Authors managed 4 cases of type II floating shoulder, 3 cases by open reduction and internal fixation for the clavicular fracture only and 1 case by conservative therapy. The final results were excellent in 3 cases of the operative group and good in 1 case of the conservative group, by UCLA shoulder rating scale. There were no complications, including drooping or limited motion in the operative treatment group. However, there was shoulder pain in the case of the conservative treatment. It is thought that internal fixation for the clavicular fracture only may be the simple and sufficient treatment method for type lI floating shoulder.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) is a new diagnostic method for pancreatic and biliarydiseases which has been made possible by the development of fiberoptic duodenoscopy. It has been thought that ERCPwell serve an important role in the early detection of pancreatic cancer, but in order to detect minor lesions ofthe pancreas and improve the diagnostic accuracy of resectable pancreatic cancer, Endoscopic RetrogradeParechymography of the pancreas (ERPP) was developed recently. The authors analyzed 117 cases of ERCP performed atthe Kwangju Christian Hospital between Jan. and Dec. 1980, and compared them with the final diagnosis. The resultswere as follows; 1. Out of 117 cases, successful visualization of the duct of concern was achieved in 105 cases.Of these, 25 cases were ERPP. 2. The ratio of males to female was 1.44:1. Most patients were in the 4th to 6thdecade. 3. The commmonest clinical manifestations were upper abdominal pain (77cases), jaundice(23 cases),indigestion, vomiting and abdominal mass, in order of frequency. 4. Out of 46 cases of suspected pancreaticdiseases, the pancreatic duct was visualized in 36 cases, and 24 cases revealed pathognomonic findings. These werediagnosed as 16 cases of pancreatic cancer, 4 cases of chronic pancreatitis, 2 cases of pancreatic pseudocyst and2 cases of periampullary cancer with pancreas invasion. In pancreatic cancer findings were; encasement, localdilatation, delayed excretion, poor filling, obstruction of pancreatic duct, accompanying C.B.D. obstruction orstenosis and so called double duct sign. The chronic pancreatitis findings included; ductal dilatation (with orwtihout) obstruction, tortuosity with dilated saccular lateral branching, stone formation and the parenchymalfilling defect. 5. Out of 71 cases of suspected biliary tract diseases, the biliary tract was visualized in 57cases, and in 31 cases abnormalities were suggested; such as 20 cases of biliary stone, 1 cases of ascariasis, 1case of clonorchiasis with cholangitis, 1 case of clonorchiasis with stone, 2 cases of C.B.D. ca. 2 cases of G.B.ca, 3 cases of intrahepatic disease, 1 case of stones in the biliary tree with ampullary ca. 6. Complications ofERCP and ERPP were extremely raare. Transient abdominal distention, abdominal discomfort and elevated serumamylase were noted, but were not clinically significant.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) is one of the important diagnostic methods for pancreaticcancer. It has an essential role in the early detection of pancreatic cancer. The ERCP findings of 35 cases ofpathologically proven pancreatic cancer during the period of five and a half years from April 1977 through Nov.1982 at Kwangju Christian Hospital were studied. The resuls were as follows; 1. The ratio of male of female was3.4:1, and most of the patients were over 40 years of age (88.5%). 2. The locations of the lesions were the headin 28 cases (80%), the body in 7 cases(20%), and the ail in 3 cases (8.6%). 3. The ERCP findings of pancreaticcancers were as follows; 1) Encasement or obstruction of common bile duct, 18 cases (51.4%). 2) Obstruction ofpancreatic duct, 16 cases (45.7%). 3) Irregular stenosis of pancreatic duct, 8 cases (22.3%). 4) Double duct sign,7 cases (20%). 5) Diffuse narrowing of pancreatic duct, 2 cases (5.7%).

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy(RSD) defines as a chronic pain syndrome with sympathetic manifestations that afflicts individuals who haute suffered a trauma to the hand. Persistent pain and dysfunctions of the hand are frequently overlooked by the surgeons. The exact pathophysiology of RSD is not known but severity of injury and prolonged immobilization of the joints are considered as resonable causes on the retrospective studies. The diagnosis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy is based on clinical manifestations, simple X-ray and three-phase bone scan. Confirmative diagnosis absolutely depends on the presence of a diffusely abnormal pattern of uptake in phase III in a patient haying pain with underlying cause and strong clinical signs of sympathetic overactivities. As with most disease processes, early diagnosis and treatment is a goal of management of RSD. Surgical restoration of anatomical structures such as tendon, nerve and joint goes ahead of any kind of procedures and it made the VAS pain score decrease from 7.8 to 3.4 in 16 patients. Also, decrease of pain could be achievable with sympathetic or stellate ganglion block with steroid medication. Active physical therapy after surgery is also verb helpful to functional recovery of the hands. Once the appropriate diagnosis is made, combined therapy composed of surgical restoration of anatomical structure, physiotherapy and steroid medication with sympathetic block will be free from pain and produce early functional recovery.

There is still discussion concerning the methods for treating Tossy type 3 dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint. Since 1995, the authors have treated 10 patients of type 3 dislocations by arthroscope-assisted modified Weaver and Dunn operation with favorable results. The operation consisted of diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy, arthroscopic resection of acromial end of coracoacromial ligament with bone block, excision of distal end of clavicle, bone block transfer of coracoacromial ligament into the medullary canal of clavicle, and augmentation between coracoid process and resected distal end of clavicle with the Mersilene tape. The advantages of this arthroscope-assisted modified Weaver and Dunn operation are as follows: (1) Using the shoulder arthroscope, associated patholgy in the shoulder joint can be found and treated appropriately. (2) Arthroscopic resection of the acromial end of coracoacromial ligament can give the small incision and least damage to the deltoid muscle so that immediate post-operative range of motion exercise can be possible. (3) Bone block transfer of coracoacromial ligament and augmentation between coracoid process and resected clavicular end can prevent displacement of the resected clavicular end.

This is a case report of 47 year-old male patient with Huntington's chorea. Huntington's chorea is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. The first symptoms of Huntington's chorea usually occur in the fourth to fifth decade and the gene is complete penetrance. The disease is characterized by both progressive motor abnormality, typically chorea, and intellectual deterioration commonly accompanied by prominent psychiatric symptoms including severe depression. Although the prevalence of Huntington's chorea is only 5-10 in 100,000 in Europe, the reported cases are extremely rare in this country until now.
