BACKGROUND: Few studies have reported the results of arthroscopic coracoplasty concomitantly conducted with subscapularis tear. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine and compare the outcomes of arthroscopic subscapularis repair after arthroscopic coracoplasty using either the subacromial approach or rotator interval approach. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent coracoplasty with subscapularis repair. The patients were grouped according to whether the subacromial approach group (24 patients) or rotator interval approach group (27 patients) was used during coracoplasty. Preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale scores, American shoulder and elbow surgeons scores, Korean shoulder scores, and range of motion (ROM) were assessed. Assessment of repaired rotator cuff tendon integrity was performed at 1 year after surgery using either magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography. RESULTS: At final follow-up, overall functional scores and ROM improved significantly in both groups when compared with preoperative values (p>0.05). The re-tear rates were not significantly different between groups; however, the rotator interval approach group showed a significant increase in ROM compared with that in the subacromial approach group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic coracoplasty conducted concomitantly with subscapularis repair can provide a satisfactory outcome. There were no significant differences between the two approach groups regarding final functional scores and re-tear rates. However, the rotator interval approach group showed a greater increase in ROM at final follow-up, especially in external rotation.

Massive ovarian deema is a tate conditian. It is a benign enlargement of the ovary caused by accumulation of fluid, which is thought to result from intermittent partial toraion of the ovarian pedicle. Histologically, the ovaries were characterized by diffuse edema of medulla and inner cortex. Two cases of massive ovanan edema are reported with brief review of the literatures.

Neonatal urologic urgencies are any genitourinary condition during the 1st month of life that jeopardizes the gonads, the kidneys, or the life of the infant if there is a delay in either diagnosis or treatment. Since 1991, we have experienced 41 cases of neonatal urologic urgencies. Of 41 cases, 23 were detected prenatally. Male to female distribution was 29 to 12. The initial symptoms or signs at presentation were antenatal hydronephrosis in 21, fever in 10, scrotal mass in 5. The rest 5 were 1 abdominal mass, 1 cystic adrenal mass, 1 absence of kidney, 1 abnormal micturition and 1 jaundice. The final diagnosis were 1 neuroblastoma, 2 multicystic dysplastic kidney, 1 multicystic dysplastic kidney and contralateral UPJO, 2 unilateral transient hydronephrosis, 3 bilateral transient hydronephrosis, 1 unilateral renal hypoplasia and contralateral hydronephrosis, 1 unilateral and 2 bilateral UPJO, 1 renal agenesis, 5 complete duplicate ureter, 3 primary megaureter, 1 unilateral UVJ0, 2 unilateral and 9 bilateral VUR, 1 PUV, 1 congenital megalourethra with bilateral hydronephrosis, 1 acute epididymitis, 3 torsion of spermatic cord, 1 cystic teratoma. Surgical treatment was performed in 26 and conservative management in 15. Since it has been reported 2/3 of all infant deaths occur during the 1st year of life, especially most are during the neonatal period, we believe it is crucial that urologists be involved in the care of newly born infants and be alert to the clues of underlying genitourinary abnormalities or diseases because the least easily recognizable urologic abnormality may be the one that requires the most immediate attention in the neonate.

6.Clinical Observation of Bladder Tumors.
Korean Journal of Urology 1978;19(6):593-601
A clinical observation was made on bladder tumors of in-patients in the Department of Urology National Medical Center during the period from January, 1970 to December, 1977 and following results were obtained. 1) Among 1,257 of total in-patients, 66 patients had bladder tumor giving a rate of 5.3 %. The sex ratio was 5.6:1 The mean age was 56 years in male and 57.5 years in female 2) 50 % of bladder tumor patients admitted to our department from initial symptoms within 1 year and 28 % between 1-2 years and 22 % after 2 years. 3) Excretory urogram showed obstructive upper tract change in 18 patients (33%) 4) The mode of treatment was T.U.R. & C in 23 patients (35%), partial cystectomy in 14 patients (21%), total cystectomy in 16 patients (24 %) and not treated in 11 patients (16.5%) 5) Urine cytology revealed accuracy of 47% in 19 patients. 6) Follow-up studies were made in 20 patients with mean duration of 20 months. of them, 7 patients died of cancer itself. 7) Patients who were dead of cancer had more high stage and high grade than survived patients.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the abrasion resistance of surface penetrating sealant which was applied on a composite resin restoration and to provide proper time to reapply sealant on composite resin surface. Two hundred rectangular specimens, sized 8 x 3 x 2 mm, were made of Micronew (Bisco, Inc., Schaumburg, IL, U.S.A) and divided into two groups; F group (n = 10) was finished with coarse and medium grit of Sof-Lex discs and BisCoverwas applied B group (n = 190) after finishing with discs. B group was again subdivided into nineteen subgroups. From B-1 group to B-18 group were subjected to toothbrush abrasion test using a distilled water-dentifrice slurry and toothbrush heads. B-IM group was not subjected to toothbrush abrasion test. Average surface roughness (Ra) of each group was calculated using a surface roughness tester (Surfcorder MSE-1700: Kosaka Laboratory Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). A representative specimen of each group was examined by FE-SEM (S-4700: Hitachi High Technologies Co., Tokyo, Japan). The data were analysed using cluster analysis, paired t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Ra of F group was 0.898 +/- 0.145 microm and B-IM group was 0.289 +/- 0.142 microm. Ra became higher from B-1 group (0.299 +/- 0.48 microm) to B-18 group (0.642 +/- 0.313 microm). 2. Final cluster center of Ra was 0.361 microm in cluster 1 (B-IM ~ B-7), 0.511 microm in cluster 2 (B-8 ~ B-14) and 0.624 microm in cluster 3 (B-15 ~ B-18). There were significant difference among Ra of three clusters. 3. Ra of B-IM group was decreased 210.72% than Ra of F group. Ra of B-8 group and B-15 group was increased 35.49% and 51.35% respectively than Ra of B-IM group. 4. On FE-SEM, B-IM group showed the smoothest resin surface. B-8 group and B-15 group showed vertically shallow scratches, and wide and irregular vertical scratches on composite resin surface respectively. Within a limitation of this study, finished resin surface will be again smooth and glazy if BisCover would be reapplied within 8 to 14 months after applying to resin surface.

Journal of Korean Academy of Conservative Dentistry 2007;32(3):169-179
This study was to compare the microshear bond strength (microSBS) of light- and chemically cured composites to enamel coupled with four 2-step self-etch adhesives and also to evaluate the incompatibility between 2-step self-etch adhesives and chemically cured composite resin. Crown segments of extracted human molars were cut mesiodistally, and a 1 mm thickness of specimen was made. They were assigned to four groups by adhesives used: SE group (Clearfil SE Bond), AdheSE group (AdheSE), Tyrian group (Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus), and Contax group (Contax). Each adhesive was applied to a cut enamel surface as per the manufacturer's instruction. Light-cured (Filtek Z250) or chemically cured composite (Luxacore Smartmix Dual) was bonded to the enamel of each specimen using a Tygon tube. After storage in distilled water for 24 hours, the bonded specimens were subjected to microSBS testing with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute. The mean microSBS (n=20 for each group) was statistically compared using two-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD, and t test at 95% level. Also the interface of enamel and composite was evaluated under FE-SEM. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The microSBS of the SE Bond group to the enamel was significantly higher than that of the AdheSE group, the Tyrian group, and the Contax group in both the light-cured and the chemically cured composite resin (p < 0.05). 2. There was not a significant difference among the AdheSE group, the Tyrian group, and the Contax group in both the light-cured and the chemically cured composite resin. 3. The microSBS of the light-cured composite resin was significantly higher than that of the chemically cured composite resin when same adhesive was applied to the enamel (p < 0.05). 4. The interface of enamel and all 2-step self-etch adhesives showed close adaptation, and so the incompatibility of the chemically cured composite resin did not show.
