A clinical review was done on 343 infants and children diagnosed and operated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Keimyung University, Dong San Medical Center for congenital gastrointestinal anomalies from January, 1988 to December, 1991. The results are summarized as follows; The most prevalent age group of congenital gastrointestinal anomaly was within first week after birth, and infants within 3months occupied 70% of total, and male to female ratio was 2:1. 2) The moat common lesion of congenital gastrointestinal anomalies was stomach with 87cases (25.4%), followed by anus with 80 cases (23.3%), colon with 63 cases (18.4%) and biliary tract with 38 cases(11.1%). 3) The most common congenital anomaly was congenital hypertophic pyloric stenosis with 87 cases (25.4%), followed by imperforate anus with 70 cases (20.4%), congenital megacolon with 63 cases (18.4%), and prevalent age was 2 week-3month, first week after birth, 1month-3year. 4) The incidence of common congenital gastrointestinal anomalies were mostly higher in male than in female but choledochal cyst was higher in female than in male. 5) Associated anomalies were observed in 14 cases (4%) of total cases, duodenal atresia was seen the highest rate of the associated anomalies and the most common associated anomaly was annular pancreas, followed by Down syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

PURPOSE: In this study we analyzed and compared the orbital anatomy in Korean and Caucasian subjects using computed tomography (CT) measurements. METHODS: Two observers performed a cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of 44 CT scans of subjects (22 Koreans, 22 Caucasians) with no appreciable orbital or globe disease. Ten length measurements and 3 angle measurements of various orbital aspects were obtained. Analysis was performed to determine if changes in these parameters were associated with race. RESULTS: Anterior medial interorbital length was 24.05 +/- 2.00 mm in Korean and 21.96 +/- 1.96 mm in Caucasian subjects. Anterior vertical orbital length was 34.19 +/- 1.67 mm in Korean and 35.03 +/- 1.18 mm in Caucasian subjects. The anterior medial interorbital length and anterior vertical orbital length (p < 0.05) were significantly different. Interorbital angle was 47.69degrees +/- 1.49degrees in Korean and 46.15degrees +/- 2.19degrees in Caucasian subjects; the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with Caucasians, the orbit of Korean subjects has a narrower orbital opening and longer interorbital distance. The present study regarding the anatomy of Korean and Caucasian orbits will assist physicians with the evaluation and treatment of orbital diseases.

Until now there are few available epidemiologic data of osteoporosis in Korea, and the severity of osteoporosis-related health problem has not been widely recognized yet. But the numbers of the old people are increasing in Korea, and in 2000, the proportion of people over 65 will be up to about 6.8% of total population. Therefore, osteoporosis, one of the most common metabolic bone disease among the old people, will be one of the most important public health problem. on this background this study was performed to find out risk factors of the development of osteoporosis in Korean women through case-control approach. The subject of this study were selected among the women one general hospital in seoul and were checked bone density from sep. 1988 to sep. 1993. Those who were diagnosed to have hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, breast disease, or liver disease, which are thought to influence bone density, were excluded. Also excluded those who are age-unknown. Finally the subjects were 2,139 women aged between 18 and 79. We operatively defined patient group as those whose bone density is below 1.03 g/cm2, 90% of average bone density of women of 4th decade who visited the same hospital. And we defined control group as whose bone density is above 1.15g/cm2. we randomly selected 201 women from the patient group and 202 from the control. As independent variables we chose age, menarche age, menopause age, menopause type, the number of siblings, the number of pregnancies, body mass index, taking oral pill or not, feeding type, and educational state. Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to see the influence of these variables on the risk of osteoporosis. Results are as follows; 1. menopausal status was statistically significant risk factor to all women irrespective of her age, while obesity and later menopause age were food to be statistically significant protective factors. 2. The more siblings and pregnancies, the greater the risk of osteoporosis, but these factors were not statistically significant. This result is not consistent with other studies. Further studies are strongly needed.
