2.Predictive factors of resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin and coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease.
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2016;59(12):477-482
PURPOSE: We conducted a study to determine which factors may be useful as predictive markers in identifying Kawasaki disease (KD) patients with a high risk of resistance to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and developing coronary artery lesions (CAL). METHODS: We enrolled 287 patients in acute phase of KD at a single center. The demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 34 patients in the IVIG resistant group. The IVIG resistant group had significantly higher serum N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic protein (NT-proBNP) levels (P<0.01) and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) percentage (P<0.01) in comparison to the IVIG responders. The results yielded sensitivity (78.8%, 60.6%), specificity (58.2%, 90%) and cutoff value (628.6 pg/mL, 80.3%) of NT-proBNP and PMN respectively, in predicting IVIG resistance. Despite IVIG administration, 13 of the 287 patients developed CAL. The patients in the CAL group had higher NT-proBNP levels (P<0.01) and higher PMN percentage (P<0.01). In these patients, the results yielded sensitivity (73.3%, 56.7%), specificity (67.9%, 88.9%) and cutoff value (853.4 pg/mL, 80.3%) of NT-proBNP and PMN respectively, for predicting CAL. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting resistance to IVIG was NT-proBNP 0.712, PMN 0.802. The AUC for predicting CAL was NT-proBNP 0.739, and PMN 0.773. CONCLUSION: Serum NT-proBNP levels and PMN percentage were significantly elevated in patients with KD with IVIG resistance and CAL. Thus, they may be useful predicting markers for IVIG resistance and development of CAL in KD patients.

Diaper dermatitis is an infant dermatosis associated with the wearing of diapers, Despite of its high frequency in clinical pediatrics the clinical characteristics are not well described in the korean literatvre. We investigated the clinical and mycological characteritics of diaper dermatitis in 50 serial patients. Clinically diaper dermatitis was classified. into five categories,irritant contact derniatitis(ID), candidiasis(CD). combined rash of ID and CD(CR.), intertrigo, and miliari. Of 50 patients with diaper dermatitis, 18 had ID; 16, CI3; 10, CR; 5, intertrigo, and 1, miliaria, The mean age of patients with ID (11.8 months) was higher than that of patients with CD (4.0 months). Candida albicans(C. albicans) w is isolated from 25 patients with diaper dermatitis. The rate of positive cultures by clinical diagnosis was 130% in CD, 11.1% in ID, 60, 0% in CR, and 20.0% in intertrigo. C. albicons was isolated from 23 patients(82.1%) of patients with clinically suspected Ci") and 2 of 22 patients without the characteristic erythematous papulesThe presence of eryhematous papules was the most characteristic clinical feature of infection, Other candida species isolated from cut,aneous lesions were C. tropicalsis, C.'. parapsiolosis, and C. stellatoidea.

The distributions and morphological characteristics of neurons displaying immunoreactivity to the catecholamine synthetic enzymes, tyrosine hydroxylase[TH], dopamine-beta-hydroxylase[DBH], and phenyletha-nolamine-N-methyltransferase[PNMT] were examined in the adjacent sections of the diencephalon of the striped field mouse [Apodemus agrarius coreae].Only TH-, and no DBH- or PNMT-immunoreactive neurons were found in the diencephalon. In the preoptic area, TH-immunoreactive neurons were found in the anterior preoptic nucleus of Loo[APN], periventricular preoptic nucleus, medial preoptic nucleus, lateral preoptic nucleus and suprachiasmatic nucleus. In the hypothalamus, TH-immunoreactive neurons were found in theparaventricular hypothalamic nucleus, periventricular gray, retrochiasmatic area,anterior hypothalamic nucleus of anterior hypothalamic area and retrochiasmatic region of the hypothalamus. In the rostral tuberal region of the hypothalamus, TH-immunoreactive neurons were found in the paraventricular nucleus, periventricular gray and arcuate nucleus. In the midtuberal region of the hypothalamus, TH-immunoreactive neurons were found in the paraventricular nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, zona incerta and arcuate nucleus. In the caudal tuberal region of the hypothalamus, dorsal hypothalamic nucleus, posterior hypothalamic complex and arcuate nucleus.

Grice extra-articular subtalar arthrodesis has been performed as either a temporizing or a definite procedure in young children to correct the dynamic hindfoot valgus deformity without affecting subsequent growth of the foot. Fifty eight extra-articular subtalar arthrodesis in thirty patients, performed at Seoul National University Children's Hospital from setpember 1985 to June 1989, were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results. There were 52 valgus feet in 26 patients and 6 varus feet in 4 patients secondary to cerebral palsy, meningomyelocele, congenital snomalies, and other neuromuscular diseases. In many instances, additional tendon surgeries were also required to correct deformities or achieve the muscle balance. The review consisted of personal interview, physical examination, and radiological assessment. On physical examination, preoperative hindfoot valgus deformty(mean: 14.3°clinically) was well corrected, postoperative hindfoot valgus ranging from neutral to valgus 5°clinically in 35 of 52 cases(67.3%). Correction of the lateral talocalcaneal angle on standing lateral radiographic view averaged 8.5 degrees(from 57.3 degrees preoperatively to 37.6 degrees postoperatively). In valgus feet, there were 3 cases with mild pain around the ankle joint. There were 5 cases of graft resorption and 2 cases of nonunion. Graft failure was more frequent when the proximal end of the graft was directed anterior to the weight bearing axis. With original Grice subtalar arthrodesis, satisfactory results were obtained in 34 of 52(65.4%) hindfoot valgus feet. In 6 varus feet, there were 1 undercorrection and 2 recurrence of varus deformity. We re-emphasize the importance of strict operative technique to obtain satisfactory results. We also believe that Grice procedure may be used for the correction of subtalar instability in selected cases of varus foot before muscle baancing procedures.

Journal of Korean Academy of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing 2021;30(1):19-29
Purpose:
The aim of the study was to identify the influencing factors for job satisfaction among forensic psychiatric nurses.
Methods:
A descriptive correlational study design was used. Participants were 90 forensic psychiatric nurses from a national forensic psychiatric institution. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS statistics 23.0 program.
Results:
Significant influencing factors for job satisfaction were administration (β=-.29, p<.001), role conflict as a profession (β=-.32, p=.004), conflict with the supervisor (β=-.34, p=.002), and psychological burnout (β=-.33, p=.004). These factors explained 57.0% of job satisfaction.
Conclusion
These findings indicate that strategies to reduce job stress and burnout should be developed to improve job satisfaction among forensic psychiatric nurses.

In clinical practice, we have occasionally experienced the difficulty to identify the pathologic changes of the non or faint-visualized kidney induced by ureteral stone on I.V.P. and especially to decide whether upper urinary tract infection of ipsilateral side was in accordance with lower urinary tract infection or not. We have checked routinely the bacteriological study of the urine collected from the ureterolithotomized site on operation during last two years. Following results were obtained: 1) Among the cultured urine of 42 patients, organism detected in 20 patients and no growth in remainder. Colifrom bacilli 11(26.2%) Staphylococci 5(11.9%) Streptococci 1(2.4%) Pseudomonas 1(2.4%) TB bacilli 2(4.7%) 2) Sensitive drug pattern of 18 patients, Coliform bacilli (11): Kanamycin, Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol Staphylococcus (5): Penicillin, Kanamycin Streptococcus (1): Penicillin Pseudomonas (1): Geopen From above results, some advantages has been provided in the post-operative management of upper urinary tract infection after removal of the ureteral stone.

Korean Journal of Urology 1977;18(2):179-184
Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare disease which is occupied about 17% of all tumors of the renal pelvis. Through many experimental and clinical practices, the stone and the infection as its etiological factors have been suggested, however, squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis not associated with these etiological factors were found occasionally. We have experienced a case of squamous cell carcinoma developed in the renal pelvis without stone or infection.
