5.A Cerebellar Infarction Presented with a Clinical Seizure.
Journal of Korean Epilepsy Society 2008;12(2):96-98
Classically, only lesions in the cerebral cortex have been thought to cause the epilepsy. Although the cerebellar infarction is presented with ataxia, dysmetria and dizziness, we experienced a patient of cerebellar infarction developed immediately after or simultaneously with a clinical seizure. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed acute cerebellar infarction on the bilateral cerebellar hemisphere.

Studies on epidemiological aspects of contact dermatitis have been published in recent years since the introduction of standardized method of patch test.However, most previous epidemiologic reports studied patients with allergic contact dermatitis in hospitals with patcb testing. Such data are not directly applicable to the population at large. Very recentiy there are a few reports ahout rates of exposure and patch test reactivity to certain antigens in a general population. which is difficult to be applicable in a developing country at present. With regard to this, we have tried to analyze the contact dermatitis questionaire containing various items of common causative agents producting contact dermatitis (for example, metals, cosmetics, plants, medicaments and rubber etc.) for the detection of past contact dermatitis histories in a total new dermatologic outpatients. A11 2258 dermatologic outpatients entered this study including 303 contact dermatitis patients (allergic contact dermatitis, primary irritant dermatitis and housewife eczema). We also analyzed the patch test results of 107 patients with suggesting contact dermatitis who visited our hospital at the same period of collecting questionaires. The study results were as follows. 1. Positive rate of each item of the questionaire (No. of said Yes/ No. of responders) was metals, 10.4% cosmetics, 31.8%, plants, 18.2%; medicaments, 12.4%; rubber, 5.8%; and others, 11.7%. 2. The most common all regens of the patch test positive reactions were nickel sulfate (9.3%), fragrance mix(9.3%), formaldehyde(6.5%), potassium dichromate (5.6%), neomycin sulfate (5.6%), balsam of Peru (4.7%), cobalt chloride(3.7%), wood tar(3.7%) and paraphenylene diamine (2.8%) in order of frequency. And the patch test positive rate of commercial cosmetic products was 10.3%. In conclusion, cosmetics, medicaments, metals, plants and rarely rubber are found the most common etiologic agents of contact dermatitis in this study. The reasons and back-ground of the results were also discussed in various aspects.

7.Effects of Benign Prostatic Diseases on the Level of Serum Prostate Specific Antigen.
Korean Journal of Urology 2001;42(11):1175-1179
PURPOSE: Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) may be elevated in patients with benign prostatic diseases. We evaluated the causes of elevated serum prostatic specific antigen concentration in men without prostatic carcinoma by periodic determination of serum PSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1996 to December 2000, of the 85 patients with elevated serum PSA (>4 ng/ml), 53 (62.4%) had clinical evidence of benign prostatic diseases such as BPH or acute prostatic inflammation. In 47 patients serum PSA was measured every 1-4 weeks until the PSA returned to base line level. RESULTS: In 42 (89.4%) patients the serum PSA concentration decreased to less than 4 ng/ml. within 3 months. The recovery rate of serum PSA within 4 weeks was high at 69% (29 of 42). The base line PSA was greater than 4 ng/ml during the follow-up period of 3 months in five patients. An elevation of PSA by acute prostatic inflammation (mean 34.1 40.0ng/ml) was abrupt and significantly greater than by prostatic hyperplasia (12.4 9.4 ng/ml, p=0.026). In patients with BPH, an initial elevation in serum PSA correlated with prostatic volume (r2=0.211, p=0.036), but no significant correlations between prostatic volume and elevated PSA levels were observed in patients with acute prostatic inflammation (r2=0.051, p=0.480). CONCLUSIONS: Benign prostatic hypertrophy and acute prostatic inflammation were main benign causes for serum PSA elevation. Majority of patients with elevated PSA by benign causes returned to base line less than 4 ng/ml in 4 weeks. However in some patients the serum PSA still remained elevated after 4 weeks, who should undergo TRUS guided biopsy of prostate to rule out the presence of malignancy. We recommended to wait at least 6 weeks for a repeat PSA determination.

8.Validity and Reliability of Korean Version of the Family Management Measure (Korean FaMM) for Families with Children having Chronic Illness.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2013;43(1):123-132
PURPOSE: To develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Family Management Measure (Korean FaMM) to assess applicability for families with children having chronic illnesses. METHODS: The Korean FaMM was articulated through forward-backward translation methods. Internal consistency reliability, construct and criterion validity were calculated using PASW WIN (19.0) and AMOS (20.0). Survey data were collected from 341 mothers of children suffering from chronic disease enrolled in a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. RESULTS: The Korean version of FaMM showed reliable internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha for the total scale of .69-.91. Factor loadings of the 53 items on the six sub-scales ranged from 0.28-0.84. The model of six subscales for the Korean FaMM was validated by expiratory and confirmatory factor analysis (chi2<.001, RMR<.05, GFI, AGFI, NFI, NNFI>.08). Criterion validity compared to the Parental Stress Index (PSI) showed significant correlation. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study demonstrate that the Korean FaMM showed satisfactory construct and criterion validity and reliability. It is useful to measure Korean family's management style with their children who have a chronic illness.

Trichogenic tumors are very rare and described as cutaneous neoplasms probably derived from hair germ which develops into hair follicles. We report a case of trichoblastic fibroma on the left parietal scalp of a 45-year-old man. The lesion was a solitary, firm, non-tender, 2×2cm subcutaneous nodule. The histopathological study showed a well circumscribed dermal tumor composed of abundant basophilic palisading basaloid lobules with some keratinous cysts, hair follicle differentiation and fibroblastic stroma.

OBJECTIVE: To define the anatomy of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LABCN) and the cephalic vein (CV) in the anterior forearm region of living humans using ultrasonography for preventing LABCN injury during cephalic venipuncture. METHODS: Thirty forearms of 15 healthy volunteers were evaluated using ultrasonography to identify the point where the LABCN begins to contact with the CV, and the point where the LABCN separates from the CV. The LABCN pathway in the forearm in relation to a nerve conduction study was also evaluated. RESULTS: The LABCNs came in contact with the CV at a mean of 0.6±1.6 cm distal to the elbow crease, and separated from the CV at a mean of 7.0±3.4 cm distal to the elbow crease. The mean distance between the conventionally used recording points (point R) for the LABCN conduction study and the actual sonographic measured LABCN was 2.4±2.4 mm. LABCN usually presented laterally at the point R (83.3%). CONCLUSION: The LABCN had close proximity to the CV in the proximal first quarter of the forearm. Cephalic venipuncture in this area should be avoided, and performed with caution if needed.
