This study was conducted to investigate the food behavior during the childhood, the influence of food behavior on internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, and the pattern of influence of food behavior on behavior problem depending on children's age and gender. A total of 171 children aged 5 and 6 years were selected who attended 3 nurseries and 1 kindergarten in Seoul, and the survey data responded by teachers were analyzed. The results were as follows. First, children with higher levels of food behavior showed less internalizing behavior problems compared to those with lower levels of food behavior. The main effects and interaction of gender and age were not significant. Second, children with higher levels of food behavior showed less externalizing behavior problems compared to those with lower levels of food behavior. For hyperactivity, interaction of age and food behavior was significant, and age and the interaction of age and food behavior affected children's agression. Food behavior of children affects behavior problem and, therefore, children with better food behavior showed less behavior problems in the same circumstances.

Choroid plexus carcinoma is a rare malignant brain tumor that occurs predominantly in childhood. A 203-day-old infant was admitted to our hospital with macrocephaly and right hemiparesis. The skull protruded diffusely in the left parietal area. Brain magnetic resonance imaging) revealed a huge mass in the left ventricle. We performed an open biopsy and discovered a choroid plexus carcinoma. The tumor bled very easily and hemostasis was difficult. After three cycles of chemotherapy, we resected the entire mass in a staged operation. Chemotherapy enabled us to resect the entire tumor by reducing its size. We report this case to stress the benefits of preoperative chemo-therapy and review the relevant literature.

Lung transplantation has been successfully employed for variety of obstructive lung disease. Single lung transplantation has become a therapeutic option for end-stage obstructive lung disease. The patient, a 57 year old man with emphysema, suffered from severe dyspnea, which progressively aggravated him for the last three years. A single lung transplantation was performed from a young brain-dead donor on April 7th, 1999 in the department of thoracic surgery, Respiratory Center, Yongdong Severance hospital, yonsei University. The immunosuppressive regimen was based on cyclosporine A and azathioprine from beginning, adding steroid. Single lung transplantation was feasible and beneficial in patients with end-stage emphysema.

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a key cytokine involved in the induction of T-helper type 2 (Th2) responses in the asthmatic airway. We investigated IL-5 genetic polymorphisms associated with asthma phenotypes, including IgE responses to staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B (SEA and SEB, respectively), in asthmatics. Adult asthmatics (n=310) and normal controls (n=160) were enrolled in the present study. Serum total and specific IgE to SEA and SEB were measured. Two IL-5 polymorphisms, -746A>G and +4499T>G, were genotyped using the primer-extension method. There were no significant differences in genotype or haplotype frequencies of these polymorphisms between the two groups. Asthmatics carrying the AG/GG genotype at -746A>G had a significantly higher prevalence of serum specific IgE to SEA (P=0.008), higher total IgE levels (P=0.014), and lower PC20 methacholine levels (P=0.002) compared to those with the AA genotype. These findings suggest that the IL-5 promoter polymorphism at -746A>G enhances serum total and specific IgE responses to SEA, which may augment airway hyperresponsiveness in adult asthmatics.

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are believed to be chemically inert agents, but larger PEG polymers could have immunogenicity. A 39-year-old man was referred to emergency room for loss of consciousness and dyspnea after taking of PEG-3350 (Colyte®). In laboratory findings, the initial serum tryptase level was increased to 91.9 mg/L (normal range: 0.00-11.40 mg/L) without any other laboratory abnormalities. The intradermal test with 10 mg/mL Colyte® showed a 5 × 5 mm wheal, but basophil activation and histamine releasability tests were negative. PEG-3350 is widely used as an osmotic laxative due to its lack of absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. However, the loss of mucosal integrity at gastrointestinal membrane such as diverticulitis may be a predisposing factor for anaphylaxis to Colyte®. We report a case of anaphylaxis induced by the ingestion of PEG-3350 in a patient with diverticulitis which might be a risk factor of anaphylaxis.

Neurologic complications are rarely associated with laparoscopic procedures. The probable etiology of an axonal injury to the musculocutaneous nerve (motor branch) of the biceps brachii during a laparoscopic procedure is the position in which the patient is maintained. Restraining arms during general anesthesia with an unintentional change in the angle of the arm in the Trendelenburg position, may lead to hyperextension of the arm, resulting in pressure on and stretching of the brachial plexus nerve and neurologic damage. We present a case of a patient undergoing gynecologic surgery who had a brachial plexus injury.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the management and awareness of osteoporosis based on general characteristics, problems, and menopausal status. METHODS: Two hundred twenty women were recruited from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a university hospital between January 2010 and December 2010. The participants completed self-questionnaires about the management of osteoporosis. We determined the correlation of the management of osteoporosis between pre- and post-menopausal women using ANOVA with SPSS version 12.0K (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). RESULTS: The mean age was 52.5 +/- 9.4 years (range, 43~83 years). One hundred twenty-four women were postmenopausal (56.1%). Postmenopausal women were statistically more likely to have examinations for osteoporosis, and take calcium and engage in exercise to prevent osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to educate and counsel premenopausal women and patients at high-risk for fracture about the management of osteoporosis.
