Gastric glomus tumor is an uncommon benign, submucosal neoplasm and does not require radical surgical procedure. Because there are no specific clinical or radiologic features associated with the glomus tumor, it can be recognized only by its histologic characteristics. We report a 30-year-old woman who had 10 years history of epigastric hunger pain. Radiologically, a gastric submucosal tumor was discovered, which was suggestive of leiomyoma. Gastric antrectomy was performed. The tumor cells showed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence of smooth muscle differentiation.

BACKGROUND: Parent's alcohol drinking not only influences their health but also their children. This research was designed to assess the family function of children who were affected by parent's alcohol drinking. METHODS: Questionnaire survey was performed on 208 high school students (129 males and 79 females) in Daejeon from March to April, 2005. We defined the students whose CAST (Children of Alcoholics Screening Test) score was 6 or more as children of alcoholics (COA) group. Then, we evaluated the family function by family APGAR score between the COA group and the control group. RESULTS: Among the total, 36 (27.9%) male and 27 (34.1%) female students were in COA group. There was a significant (P<0.01) negative correlation between the CAST score and the family APGAR score in all students. In boys, there was no significant correlation between the CAST score and the family APGAR score, but in girls, there was significant negative correlation (P<0.01). Mean family APGAR score of the COA group was significantly (P<0.05) lower than that of the control group in all students. In boys, there was no significant difference, but in girls, the COA group's family APGAR score was significantly lower than the control group's score (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The high school students, especially girl students, who were affected by parent's alcohol drinking showed a lower family APGAR score. Therefore, family physicians need to evaluate the family function when encountering students similar to COA group.

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate that the chronic noise exposure is associated with decreased serum magnesium concentrations and evaluate whether decreased serum magnesium is associated with noise induced hearing loss. METHODS: One hundred seventy-eight male workers exposed to noise were selected and classified three groups by the degree of hearing loss. Hearing threshold levels were less than 30 dB at 1,000 Hz or less than 40 dB at 4,000 Hz in group I, more than 30 dB at 1,000 Hz or more than 40 dB at 4,000 Hz and 15 dB and less of pure tone average(PTA: (500 Hz+1,000 Hz+2,000 Hz)/3) in group II, more than 30 dB at 1,000 Hz or more than 40 dB at 4, 000 Hz and over 15 dB of PTA in group III. RESULTS: Serum magnesium concentrations were 2. 42+/-0. 26 nc/dt in group I, 2. 35+/-0.23 mg(dl in group II, 2.26+/-0.24 ne/dl in group III, respectively and significantly different between group I and group III (p<0. 01). It was negatively correlated with duration of the noise exposure as correlation coefficient(r) of -0.194 (p<0.05). Analysis of the multiple regression on hearing threshold levels showed that serum magnesium, diastolic blood pressure, duration of the noise exposure were statistically significant at 4,000 Hz(p<0.05). While only age was statistically significant at 1,000 Hz(p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that chronic noise exposure may induces decrease in serum magnesium concentrations and that its decreased concentration is related with noise induced hearing loss.

Fibrolipoma is an uncommon variant of lipomas which shows a distinct pathologic findings with both component of mature adipose cells and broad bands of dense fibrous connective tissue. A 30-year-old woman developed an 5×7cm sized, indurated, ill-defined, subcutaneous mass on the right axilla. Microscopically, the tumor contained broad bands of dense connective tissue with mature adipose tissue scattered throughout the mass, but it did not show encapsulation. The lesion was excised and she showed no evidence of recurrence after 6 months of follow-up.

Screening test of Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) infection was introduced on Korean Blood Donor Test Program in July 1987, and the test results between July 1987 and December 1990 were reported on the Korean Journal of Blood Transfusion on May 1992. Moreover, we assessed anti-HIV ELISA screening test result of 3,905,986 blood donors donated at Korean Red Cross Blood Centers between January 1991 and December 1993. The seropositivity of anti-HIV ELISA screening test was 0.26% in 1991, 0.30% in 1992 and 0.18% in 1993.0.15% of all donors in 1991 was reactive repeatedly, and 0.15% in 1992 and 0.08% in 1993. The prevalence of HIV infected donors confirmed by Western Blot Assay was 0.0003% in 1991, 0.0015% in 1992, and 0.0009% in 1993. The sero-positivities of anti-HIV screening tests with AIDSDIA reagent and HIVIRO reagent were 0.32% and 0.17% and the difference was significantly(p<0.05). The sero-positivities of ELISA screening and Western Blot. Assay detecting anti-HIV were lower in soldier group than in non-soldier donor group (p< 0.05).

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) in The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) pilots, and to investigate the factors related to occupational exposure. METHODS: For 720 pilots who visited aeromedical center, ROKAF for general health screening from January, 2001 to August, 2002, HBsAg and anti-HBs were tested using passive hemagglutination and passive hemagglutination, respectively. If HBsAg results had been positive or vague, we performed confirmation test by ASAN Easy Test(R) HBs kit. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of HBsAg and Anti-HBs was 1.8% and 49.4%, respectively. HBsAg positivity was 0.0% in 20-24 years, 0.8% in 25-29 years, 1.1% in 30-34 years, 4.4% in 35-39 years, 1.5% in 40-44 years, 5.4% in 45-49 years, 5.3% in 50-54 years and significantly different below and above thirties (P=0.024). The prevalence of HBsAg in pilots was not different with general adults. Anti-HBs positivity was 100.0% in 20-24 years, 43.9% in 25-29 years, 57.1% in 30-34 years, 50.0% in 35-39 years, 62.1% in 40-44 years, 50.0% in 45-49 years, 73.7% in 50-54 years and significantly increased with age (44.2% in twenties, 53.6% in thirties, 58.9% in more than 40) (P=0.005). The pilots susceptible to HBV infection who were negative in both HBsAg and anti-HBs were found in 49.0% of entire subjects. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBs in pilots was lower than in general adults. The pilots tendered to be more susceptible to HBV infection than general adults. Hepatitis B vaccine should be integrated into pilot health programmes.

o evaluate the seroprevalence of viral hepatitis marker among Korean healthy voluntary blood donors, the positive rates of both serum HBsAg and anti-HCV were analyzed. HBsAg testing was performed in 9,561,768 donors from January 1986 to June 1994 and anti-HCV testing was performed in 4,407,933 donors from May 1991 to June 1994. Positive rates of HBsAg were 3.76% to 6.87% per year and anti-HCV were 0.37% to 0.58% per year. The sex distribution of positive HBsAg and anti-HCV showed higher in male that in female. The age distribution of positive HBsAg was higher in 3th decade and anti-HCV was in 5th decade. The positive prevalence rate of HBsAg and anti-HCV showed highter above the serum ALT 45 IU. The positive rate of HBsAg was higher in group voluntary donors and anti-HCV in various other type of voluntary blood donors. In generally, the positive prevalence rate of HBsAg and anti-HCV showing however decreasing number in every year.
