Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) injuries remain a challenge to most trauma surgeons and continue to result in significant mortality despite aggressive management. We report successful management of a proximal SMA injury through endovascular treatment in a 56-year-old man. The patient presented with hypotension due to a stab wound after the epigastrium. He underwent emergency laparotomy and repair of the penetrated wall of the stomach. Right retroperitoneal hematoma at the initial laparotomy expanded and ruptured, requiring a massive transfusion. At the second laparotomy, we performed lateral arteriorrhaphy of the proximal SMA. Follow-up abdominal computed tomography angiography on post-injury day 7 showed a pseudoaneurysm on the left side of the SMA trunk. The patient was treated successfully with an endovascular stent graft.

We report a case of 17-year-old female with juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus Who developed symptomatic unilateral sacroiliitis. She had neither HLA-DR3 nir B27 antigens. Though sacroiliitis have been reported in mail SLE patient. it has been rarely reported in female patients. The rare coexistence of SLE and sacroiliitis. described in this case. may not be determined soley by genetic factors; sacroiliitis may be just an infrequent manifestation of SLE.

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to evaluate obstetric aspects and epidemiologic data of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) in premature baby(under 37 gestational weeks). We compared the mortality and incidence of RDS in premature baby according to gestational age, birth weight, infant sex, mode of delivery. In addition, this study was searched for demonstrating the influence of hypertensive mother, and effectiveness of surfactant and corticosteoid administration. METHODS: A study was conducted for 2,360 premature baby under 37gestatinal weeks, who were born at four main hospitals in Kwangju and Chonnam from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1997. Data were collected from hospital records and was analyzed by SPSS computer program. RESULTS: 1. The total incidence of RDS among all the preterm infants under 37gestational weeks, who were admitted in NICU of four hospitals was 22.7%. 2. Neonatal mortality was decreased as the gestational age and or birth weight advanced. (p<0.001) 3. There was no difference in the incidence of RDS according to sex and mode of delivery. (p>0.005) 4. The mortality of RDS infants in this study was 28.1%. 5. There was no statistical correlation between neonatal mortality and use of surfactant. 6. Corticosteroids administration to preterm mother did not decrease the incidence of RDS, but, there was no statistical significance due to insufficient study group. 7. The incidence of RDS among the babies of hypertensive mother was 21.0%. CONCLUSION: Still the RDS in premature baby is the most common cause of perinatal death in this country. In our study, the incidence and mortality of RDS in prematue baby was mainly depends on gestational age of infants. Therefore, we suggested that prevention of preterm labor is the important to decrease the incidence and mortality of RDS.

We experience coronary artery aneurysm and coronary artery stenosis in an adult as complications of Kawasaki disease. The patient suffered from ischemic heart disease due to coronary artery aneurysm and stenosis, We carried out PTCA and stenting at stenotic coronary artery successfully. A brief review of related literature was made.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate US and CT features of choroidal osteoma. MATERIALS AND METHDOS: US and CT scans of seven cases of choroidal osteoma occurring in six patients were retrospectively analyzed. We analysed US and CT findings with particular attention to the location, size, and shape of calcification associated with choroidal osteoma, and sought the possible cause of the tumor, if any. RESULTS: None of six patients had any possible cause related to choroidal osteoma. All of seven cases of choroidal osteoma were manifested as calcified mass which were located in the posterior wall of the eyeball near the juxtapapillary region. Calcification ranged in size from 1 to 2 cm and had curvilinear shape. Both US and CT were equally useful to evaluate choroidal osteoma. CONCLUSION: By depicting the characteristic calcification, US and CT are useful imaging modalities in evaluating choroidal osteoma.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to elucidate the current incidence of varicoceles in unselected Korean children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 4271 Korean school boys aged 7-18, resided in Namhaegun, Gyungnam province were investigated. The study population comprised more than 95% (4271/4403) of all boys in the respective age in a rural country with a total population of 61,820 (29,840 males and 31,980 females). All examinations were carried out by a single urologist from March to June 2000. The patients with varicocele were divided according to the classification of Dubin-Amelar. RESULTS: No case of varicocele was encountered in 1,233 boys between 7 to 10 years, while the incidence in the 3,038 boys aged 11 to 18 years was 9.61% (292 boys). There was a peak varicocele incidence from aged 14 to 16 (11.78-13.52%). The proportion of varicocele grades were grade I 21.58% (63/292), grade II 44.68% (131/292), grade III 33.56% (98/292). There were 2 cases of bilateral varicoceles. Other abnormalities found were 7 cryptorchidism (0.16%) and 27 hydroceles (0.63%). In 33 older boys (aged between 16-18) with varicocele, semen analyses were performed and two boys had subnormal sperm concentration. CONCLUSIONS: Our finding of peaking at ages 14 to 16 was parallel with the old Danish report,11 but our incidence was substantially lower than the report of 16.2%.

The present study has been performed to evaluate 20 cardiopathy children and 20 healthy children's oral micorbes at the point of antimicrobial susceptibilities for antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent bacterial endocarditis. The results were as follows: 1. Both groups had similar oral microbes. 2. The antimicrobial susceptibility of S. viridans were: Penicillin< Oxacillin< Ampicillin< Cephalothin< Erythromycin< Clindamycin< Gentamicin< Ciprofloxacin< Vancomycin=Imipenem. The cardiopathy group was slightly lower antimicrobial susceptibility rates than healthy group. 3. The antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseriaceae were: Clindamycin< Erythromycin< Vancomycin< Penicillin< Gentamicin< Cephalothin< Ciprofloxacin< Imipenem. The antibiotics of bacterial endocarditis antibiotic prophylaxis regimens for dental procedures according to the American Heart Association were generally lower antimicrobial susceptibilities, so they were considered inadequate for the first selective antibiotics and Imipemem was best suitable antimicrobials. Conclusively, when choose antimicrobials for treatment or antimicrobial prophylaxsis for bacterial endocarditis, surveillant culture must be performed to evaluated personal antimicrobial susceptibilities of intraoral microbes for proper antimicrobial choice for dental procedures.
