Ki-1 monoclonal antibody is a well known marker for Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease, but also occasionally reacts with activated lymphoid cells of either benign or malignant nature. Recently, Ki-1 antibody positive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, usually of large cell and/or polymorphous type, has been reported in the lymph nodes, skin, soft tissue, and stomach, but not in the bone. We report a case of multifocal primary bone lymphoma in a seven-year old body involving the left shoulder and right frontal bone, which proved to be a large cell, polymorphous lymphoma, helper T-cell type expressing Ki-1 antigen.

3.The Effect of Preoperative Information on Post-Operative Anxiety, Cortisol and Pain of Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing 2007;19(2):207-216
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of preoperative information on postoperative state anxiety, plasma cortisol, and pain for patients under total knee arthroplasty, and to provide generic data with nursing intervention for total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Data were collected from 34 patients who had total knee arthroplasty from January 3, 2003 to January 15, 2004. An experiment group of 17 patients was provided with pre-operative information prepared by the researchers; a control group of another 17 patients was provided with general information. Data were analyzed through Chi-squared test, t-test, paired t-test and ANCOVA using SPSS WIN 11.0. RESULTS: There was no significant differences between the experiment group and the control group in post operative state anxiety(p=.612). However, there was statistically a significant difference between the above two groups in post operative plasma cortisol(p=.012). There was a statistically significant difference between the above two groups in post operative pain(p=.041). CONCLUSION: According to the results of the study, the authors concluded that the preoperative information for patients under total knee arthroplasty had the effect on the decrease of postoperative plasma cortisol and pain.

Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis is a rescently described histiocytic disorder. It is characterized by the presence of fever, pancytopenia, and subcutaneous nodules resulting from the infiltration of lympho-histiocytes in the dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The characteristic findings is presence of bean-bag histiocytes containing phagocytized red blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets. We experienced two cases of cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis with hard and erythematous subcutaneous nodules. These skin lesions exhibited infiltration of the subcutaneous tissue by large, benign histiocytes with cytophagic features. Hemophagocytic histiocytes were observed in the cervical lymph node in case 1, and bone marrow in case 2. One patient is alive, while the other one died with hemorrhagic complications.

We report an autopsy case of amniotic band syndrome exhibiting microcephaly, asymmetric encephalocele, microphthalmia, nasal deformity, cleft lip and palate accompanied by left maxillary and zygomatic bone deformities. The amniotic membrane of the placenta was also attached to the herniated brain. The twenty-year-old primigravid mother had no history of taking drug, irradiation, infection or trauma before or during pregnancy.

6.The Minimal Postoperative Follow-Up Period to Determine Secondary Surgery in Patients with Intermittent Exotropia.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2014;55(5):711-718
PURPOSE: We investigated the recommended minimum postoperative follow-up period for the determination of secondary corrective surgery for the consecutive esotropia (ET) and recurrent exotropia (XT) after the first intermittent XT surgery. METHODS: The medical records of 728 patients who underwent surgical treatment for intermittent XT between 2004 and 2009 with a minimum postoperative follow-up of 1 year were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient underwent a detailed sensory and motor examination, including measurements of near and distance stereoacuity, alternating-cover test, and extraocular muscle function testing. Consecutive ET was defined as esodeviation over 15 prism diopter (PD) at distance persisting for more than 6 months after surgery despite medical treatment. Recurrent XT was defined as exodeviation over 15 PD at distance after surgery despite medical treatment. RESULTS: The mean age of the 728 patients at first surgery was 7.5 years (range, 22 months - 30 years). When only the motor outcome was considered, 663 patients (91.1%) had an orthrotropia at the final follow-up and 44 patients (6.0%) among consecutive ET patients and 21 patients (2.9%) who had a recurrent XT underwent secondary surgical correction. Binocularity decreased postoperatively in patients with consecutive ET (p < 0.001), whereas the other patients demonstrated improved stereopsis postoperatively (p = 0.041, 0.021). Patients with consecutive ET showed esodeviation over 10 PD when compared with orthotropia after 2 months postoperatively (p = 0.005). At 6 months postoperatively, 17 (81.0%) of 21 patients with recurrent XT showed orthotropia with an exodeviation over 11 PD after 18 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The success rate of surgical correction for intermittent XT showed a favorable outcome. However, careful concern for consecutive ET and recurrent XT are required in postoperative follow-up periods. Over-corrected or consecutive ETs need early surgical correction because no further improvement of ocular alignment will occur after 2 months postoperatively and delayed correction can result in poor sensory binocularity. Under-corrected or recurrent XT should be observed for an extended period because of the exotropic drift after surgery, thus requiring periodic long term follow-up for secondary surgery at least for 18 months postoperatively.

8.Assessment of safety of playground equipments in elementary schools in Taegu.
Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1991;24(3):404-427
To assess the safety of playground equipments in the elementary schools of Taegu, a site visit was made to 117 elementary schools out of 119 schools between 1st and 30th April 1991. Safety criteria were developed on the bases of Massachusetts' Playground Safety Check List, standard height of Korean children of 6-12 years old, and source book for designing playground equipments. There were eleven different kinds of playground equipments installed in 117 schools but the number of equipments was about 50-60% of the minimum requirement set by the Ministry of Education except chin-up bar. Among the installed equipments, 47.3% of swings, 16.6% of parallel bars, 20.0% of monkey bars, and 16.0% of slides were broken down. None of the swings, slides, seesaws, monkey bars, and sandboxes met the safety criteria to the full but 59.0 of chin-up bars, 31.4% of parallel bars, and 13.5% of stumps met the criteria fully. The proportions of equipments that were dangerous for children to play on were 26.4% for slides, 20.0% for monkey bars, 11.6% for seesaws, 10.4% for parallel bars, 9.85 for sandboxes, 7.4% for swings and stumps, and 3.9% for chin-up bars. The rests were either in need of repair of broken down. It was revealed by this survey that the playground equipments were too short in number to meet the minimum requirement, designs and size were not standardized, and many of the equipments were involved with the risk of child accidents. Therefore, a safety standard for the playground equipments should be developed and the existing equipments should be repaired immediately.

Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia(AFLNH) was first described in 1956 by Castleman et al. It was initially reported as a solitary mediastinal mass but multicentric and extranodal disease is now well known. Histologically two distinct variants, e.g. the hyaline vascular type and the plasma cell type, of AFLNH are recognized. And the plasma cell type is typically associated with clinical syndrome consisting of fever, anemia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Recently, we experineced three cases of AFLNH. Histologically, two cases were hyaline vascular type, that were presented as a right supraclavicular mass of 49-year-old female, and as an anterior mediastinal mass of 53-year-old female. The remaining one case was plasma cell type that was presented as a left axillary mass of 63-year-old male. The former two cases showed typical features of hyaline vascular type but in case 1, exuberant proliferation of hyalinized vessels of capillary size was characteristic feature. The latter case of plasma cell type characteristically showed clinical syndrome consisting of fever, hypoalbuminemia, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. All cases were presented as a single mass and they were well after surgical excision.
