Authors experienced a case of acute myocardial infarction confirmed by analysis of LDH isoenzyme. 53-year-old male was admitted to Sacred Heat Hospital, Chung Ang University Because of severe precordial pain radiating to both arm, shoulder and back. Chest X-ray film & electrocardiogram were within normal limit and SGOT was 110 unit/ml on the day of admission. Determination of total LDH value and analysis of LDH isoenzyme by agar gel electrophoresis were made on the second hospital day. Total LDH was 315unit/ml, but there was significant increased percentage of LDH isoenzyme(LDH1). Electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation only on the 8th hospital day.

6 patients underwnet CT-guided stereotactic biopsy or hematoma aspiration procedure for posterior fossa lesions. Trajectory for biopsy or aspiration was transcerebellar approach. The patients were placed under general endotracheal anesthesia and positioned prone or sitting. No complications were encountered in the postoperative period when this technique was used. Stereotaxic transcerebellar multiple biopsy can safely provide tissue conformation of the neoplastic nature of a posterior fossa lesion thought to be a tumor. In addition, hematoma aspiration has been demonstrated to be safe, reliable, and efficient.

Eosinophilic granuloma of the cervical spine is an uncommon disease. A 20-year old male patient noticed cervical pain, restricted range of movement, torticollis and tenderness. On computed tomographic scan, myelographic imaging and plain radiographic imaging demonstated a bony destruction in the left side of the third cervical vertebral body and a part of the pedicle. Preoperative radioisotope bone scan demonstrated an hot uptake in the third cervical vertebral body. Gross total removal of the lesion and radiation therapy were performed. Postoperative course was favorable. The lesion is readily curable and should be considered in the diferential diagnosis of pain or neurological deficit in association with a lytic defect in the cervical spine. Occasionally, a solitary lesion characteristic of eosinophillic granuloma in found in cases of otherwise classic Hand-Schuller-Christian. So, close chinical and radiologic follow-up sholuld be obtained.

BACKGROUND: Diverticulosis of the cecum and ascending colon is a rare disease in Western countries, it is more common in the Orient. Making the diagnosis preoperatively could be difficult, and the intraoperative assessment and decision of optimal treatments are difficult. METHODS: Therefore, we reviewed the patient's charts of diverticulosis of the cecum and ascending colon at our hospital from 1992 to 1997. RESULTS: During the past 5 years, a total of 53 cases of diverticulosis of the cecum and ascending colon had been treated at this hospital. Mean age was 41.8 years (range 20-70). The male to female ratio was 1.8 : 1. Frequent complaints were abdominal pain (46 cases, 86.8%), followed by diarrhea (5 cases, 9.3%), indigestion (4 cases, 7.5%), and bowel habits change (2 cases, 3.8%). Mean duration of illness was 3.5 days(range 24 hours~15 days). In non-surgical cases, diagnoses were established with barium enema, CT scan, or ultrasonography. The accuracy of these methods was 91%, 75%, and 25%. In surgical cases, the preoperative diagnoses were appendicitis(13 cases, 50.1%), diverticulitis (7 cases, 31.8%), and abscess (2 cases, 9.1%). Treatments of the cecum and ascending colon diverticulitis were conservative management (3 teases,58.5%) and surgical treatment (22 cases,41.5%). The operative procedures were right hemicolectomies (2 cases), ileocecal resections (2 cases), diverticulectomies (6 cases) and appendectomies only (11 cases). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that correct diagnosis of the diverticulitis of the cecum and ascending colon made before treatment is very important because correct assessment of diverticulitis intraoperatively is difacut. Liberal use of diagnostic modalities could facilitate to make correct diagnosis to set a proper plan for treatment.

Reticulohistiocytosis represents a rare spectrum of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis: the solitary cutaneous form (reticulohistiocytoma), the diffuse cutaneous form without systemic involvement, and multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with systemic involvement. We report a case of solitary cutaneous reticulohistiocytosis in a 46-years-old male, who presented with an asymptomatic firm, dome-shaped nodule on the right vestibule of nose. The lesion was completely excised and no evidence of recurrence was observed.

PURPOSE: We analyzed the causative factors of femoral component radiologic abnormality after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS)-Flex prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 140 cases of TKA using LPS-Flex and 140 cases of Vanguard from Jan 2008 to June 2010 were analyzed and radiographic abnormalities around the femoral stems were compared. Secondly, TKA using LPS-Flex was divided into two groups according to the posterior femoral cutting technique, which were single cutting method and additional cutting method. Accuracy of the femoral posterior resection was compared. RESULTS: Radiographically, anterior radiolucent line was found in eight cases with LPS-Flex but no case with Vanguard. Posterior overhang more than 30% was found in ten cases in both groups. Posterior bone defect more than 50% was found in 23 and seven cases respectively. Anterior radiolucent line and posterior bone defect were observed significantly more in LPS-Flex. In the second study, we found femoral posterior bone defect in 20 cases with additional cutting method which was caused by flexion of the femoral box-cutting guide. CONCLUSION: Posterior bone defect from LPS-Flex was caused by inappropriate resection due to flexion of the box cutting guide. Single cutting method should be adopted for more accurate posterior femoral cutting.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined maternal object relations, child's and mother's perception on rearing attitude, and children's self-esteem in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their mothers. METHODS: 64 children with ADHD and their mothers were included in the study group. In the control group, there were 85 children and their mothers. Mothers completed the following tests : Bell object relation inventory (BORI), maternal behavior research instrument (MBRI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Korean ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS). Children completed Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale. RESULTS: Mothers of ADHD children displayed more rejecting and controlling parenting style than mothers in the control group. ADHD children showed lower self-esteem and perceived their parents as not affectionate, but rejecting and controlling. Mothers with ADHD children who belonged to object relations pathological group showed more rejecting rearing attitude and their children believed that they were more controlling, compared with children and mothers in other conditions. Among factors in mother's object relations, insecure attachment and ego-centricity impacted the rearing attitude. In turn, affective rearing attitude mainly influenced children's self-esteem. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the approach focused on mother's object relations may help with the treatment of children with ADHD.

Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 2004;67(5):402-406
PURPOSE: Owing to the trend of a nuclear family the concern and protection are still more increasing than before. The patients admitted to hospital for intussusception, as well as their parents, seem to be under great stress when non- operative treatments fail. In order to identify those patients likely to fail an attempted non-operative treatment, and to administer prompt treatment, the patients that came to our hospital for pediatric intussusception were analyzed. METHODS: 285 cases, between 2000 and 2003 were reviewed. They were divided into two groups from their medical records, and retrospectively compared. Group I included 243 pneumoreduction cases and group II 42 operation cases. To find the probability of non-operative treatment failure, an attempt was made to analyze and score the risk factors that increase the possibility of operative treatment. RESULTS: The factors contributing to an increased possibility of operative treatment were fever, leukocyte count, plain abdominal X-ray findings and duration of symptoms. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that fever, leukocyte count, plain abdominal X-ray findings and duration of symptoms contributed to an increased possibility of operative treatment. An increase in the sum of the scores of each factor increased the possibility of operative treatment. This simple scoring system could eliminate excessive and repeated pneumoreduction, thus indicating its potential value as a useful aid in surgical decision making for high failure rate cases of pneumoreduction in intussusception.
