Deep infection following total hip replacement arthroplasties remains one of the most serious complications in orthopaedic surgery. Between Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1991, 1130 cementless total hip arthroplasties were performed at Wilson rehabilitation hospital. Among them, fourteen patients (incidence :1.2%) developed deep wound infection, and they were retrospectively reviewed including clinical features, laboratory datas and their managements. The infection was noted in ten patients within three months, in one patient between three to twelve months and in three patients after twelve months from cementless total hip replacement arthroplasties. All of them were suffered from hip pain, six patients were manifested with generalized fever, and twelve patients with draining fistulas. Thirteen patients showed elevated ESR. Major infecting organism was Staphylococcus in ten patients. They were initially treated with meticulous debridement, ingress and eress tube irrigation, and antibiotics, but four patients had to be operated Girdlestone arthroplasties due to recurrence of infection and loosening of the prosthesis. Eight patients got quiescency from infection for at least five months from the last drainage operation. But two patients still have draining fistulas inspite of bony ingrowth achieved to the prosthesis.

The authors carriod out lumbodorsal fasciotomy on six cases of paralytic scoliosis with pelvic obliquity. In our experience, in those older children and adolescents with paralysis in whom scoliotic curve is not severe and is more or less static, correction and maintenance of the correction can be achieved by lumbodorsal fasciotomy without resorting to spine fusion. While it is a common practice to leave a mild and static curve uncorrected, even a mild degree of scoliosis, when associated with pelvic obliquity, abduction contracture of the hip, instability of the other hip and leg length discrepancy, is a major problem in paralytic patients. Initial results indicate that lumbodorsal fasciotomy, combined with contralateral Soutters or Campbells fasciotomy if necessary, is a simple and effective method in correcting these deformities and restoring balance and function.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of social support and quality of life of stroke patients. METHODS: Stroke patients were interviewed by a direct contact survey among 160 person. A structured questionnaire was configured about demographic features, social support and health related quality of life (SF12). Data were collected from July to August 2009. RESULTS: Among social support, satisfaction of dependable when you need help is the highest score (5.3) and console you when you are very upset is the lowest (4.0). Vitality among health related quality of life (HRQOL) is the higest score (55.9) and general health score is the the lowest (17.4). Physical component score (PCS) is lower than mental component. The results of multiple regression analysis about the factors affecting the PCS and MCS score, disability grade and feel better variable gave effect HRQOL. CONCLUSIONS: For improvement of HRQOL, among stroke patients, community social support, specially, when patients feeling generally down-in-the dumps, the rely on to help feel better was needed.

Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare nonmetastasizing fi brous tumor, characterized by fibroblastic proliferation without evidence of inflammatory response or definite neoplasia. It appears at any age, but mainly in the second to fifth decades as incidence of two to four desmoid tu mor cases per 1 million people per annum. It is pseudoen capsulated and locally invasive and has a tendency to recur, but metastases are rare. It is more frequent with Gardner's syndrome(adenomatosis coli) in which 50% of them will appear as mesenteric fibromatosis. Trauma, especially that of previous surgery, has been associated with the subsequent development of desmoid tumor. The treatment of choice is a wide margin resection of the tumor. we experienced a case of mesenteric fibromatosis without Gardner's syndrome 2 years after appendectomy in a 31-year old man and recurred at 21 months after resection and report with a review of literatures. 6

Metabolic acidosis is a well-recognized complication of chronic hemodialyzed patients. The metabolic acidosis in stable hemodialyzed patients is mainly resulted from the consequences of the inability to excrete nonvolatile acid and the patients daily protein intake. So severe metabolic acidosis in patients on hemodialysis is known as an independent determinant of protein catabolic rate and high mortality rate but the moderate degree of metabolic acidosis in stable patients on maintenace hemodialysis can be explained by the patients nutritional status. On the other hand, patients having adequate daily protein intake could have lower total CO2 levels than those of patients having inadequately lower daily protein intake. To identify this relationship, we analyzed correlations between pre-hemodialysis total CO2 and various factors reflecting the patient's nutritional status in 37 patients on stable hemodialysis. The total CO2 was ranged from 15.6 to 26.5mMol/L. Among various factors, total CO2 had negative linear correlation with normalized protein catabolic rate(nPCR) reflecting the patient's daily protein intake indirectly(Y= -0.0371X+1.75, r=-0.1319, P=0.014). Moreover, metabolic acidosis having CO2 lower than 18mMol/L may modulate protein kinetics as showing steeper slope than those of more than 18mMol/L(Y=-0.1321 X +3.342, r2=0.1074 vs Y=-0.03373X+1.7543 r2=0.1001, P=0.0001). However other factors including serum albumin, body mass index, pre-hemodialysis BUN, and Kt/V, had no correlation with the total CO2. The result suggested that moderately lower pre- hemodialysis total CO2 ranging from 18 to 26.5 mMol/L was usually resulted from the high intake of the patient's daily protein intake and should be of no concern in stable patients on maintenance hemodialysis and it may use as a parameter of nutritional status. However metabolic acidosis having CO2 lower than 18mMol/L may modulate protein-kinetics, which may make the protein catabolic rate increased and can not reflect the patient's nutritional status. But it should be recommended that further studies should be needed to confirm this factor.

PURPOSE: Single umbilical artery (SUA), the most common malformation of the umbilical cord, has long been of interest because of its association with congenital malformations. This retrospective study was aimed to evaluate the incidence of SUA and its associated malformations. METHOD: The study population was inborn neonates of Kang-Nam Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University. We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of 15 infants with SUA, including 1 infant identified in prenatal ultrasonography. RESULTS: The incidence of SUA was 0.2% (15/9,351 cases). The mean birth weight was 2,658 gram (ranged from 1,060 to 3,700gram), and the mean gestational age was 38 weeks (ranged from 32 to 40 + 3weeks). Six cases (40%) of 15 cases with SUA were associated with congenital malformations : urogenital malformations in 4 cases, cardiovascular malformations in 3 cases, and musculoskeletal malformations in 3 cases. Only 1 case had abmormal karyotype, trisomy 18. CONCLUSION: Because SUA is highly associated with congenital malformations newborns with SUA should have a thorough and complete physical examination at birth and physicians should also be alert to the possibility of congenital malformations not evident at initial examination. Furthermore, prenatal detection of SUA has potential importance, since it may indicate that further work is necessary to rule out associated malformations and to help determine whether management should beltered.
