3.Increasing Rates of Community Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Children with Muscular-Skeletal Infections in Korea: A Single Center Experience from 2000 to 2012.
Korean Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases 2013;20(2):63-70
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore how prevalent the community-related methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) was in children with muscular-skeletal infections. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients of 18 years or under who were diagnosed with suppurative arthritis or osteomyelitis and S. aureus from September 2000 through August 2012 at the CHA Bundang Medical center. RESULTS: Thirty-one cases of suppurative arthritis or osteomyelitis were identified. The patients were between 17 days old and 18 years old with an average age of 7. Eleven cases (33.5%) of suppurative arthritis and 16 cases (51.6%) of osteomyelitis were observed. Five cases were accompanied by the two diseases. Methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) was isolated in 25 cases (80.6%) and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was isolated in 6 cases (19.4%). Multidrug resistant strains were not observed. MRSA was not found from 2000 through 2005. All patients were treated with antibiotics and the duration of antibiotics treatment was 26.4+/-12.7 days. Vancomycin was used as the initial antibiotic treatment in 4 cases (12.9%) and vancomycin was used as the definitive antibiotics in the 10 cases (32.3%). CONCLUSIONS: The result of this study showed that methicillin resistance rate of S. aureus from muscular-skeletal infections was concentrated in the latter half of the 12 year period.

4.Clinical Features of Morbilliform Erythema in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1998;36(2):236-240
BACKGROUND: In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), LE-specific cutaneous lesions include malar rashes, widespread/morbilliform erythema, oral ulcer and bullous lesions. OBJECTIVE: Clinical observations were carried out to define cutaneous features of morbilliform erythema and to see possible relevancy of this erythema to disease activity of SLE. METHODS: Examinations were performed on 7 SLE patients with morbilliform erythema regarding the distribution and course of the cutaneous lesions; some SLE-activity related hematologic/immunologic data taken during/around the time of this skin disease were also assessed in each patient. RESULTS: In most of those patients with morbilliform erythema, which covered the trunk and extremities, the skin lesions lasted for about 2 weeks until their disappearance. At or around the time of suffering from this skin disease of acute eutaneous LE, activities of systemic disease were recognized as "in a state of flare-up or aggravation" with hypocomplementemia and high titers of anti-nDNA autoantibodies. CONCLUSION: As with malar rashes, morbilliform erythema of acute cutaneous LE seems to develop more frequently at the time of severe systemic involvement of immunopathological processes of SLE.

5.Clinical Manifestations of Salmonellosis in Children during the last 12 Years: A Single Institution Experience.
Korean Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases 2013;20(1):1-8
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical manifestations and antibiotic resistance of salmonellosis in children. METHODS: We reviewed medical records and investigated the clinical characteristics of culture-proven childhood salmonellosis from January 2000 through December 2011 at the CHA Bundang Medical center. RESULTS: We assessed 53 patients. The median age was 3-years-old (minimum 12 days, maximum 18-years-old) and the number of male patients was 33 (62.3%). It occurred most frequently in the summer (39%) and in 2001 (11 cases) however there was no case in 2009 and 2010. Salmonella typhi was isolated in 3 cases with septicemia. Antibiotic resistance to ampicillin was most frequently presented (30.2%) and 63.6% in serogroup B. No antibiotics resistance strains were cultured in patients with positive Salmonella typhi. Admitted patients from 2000 to 2011 were divided into 2 groups; group 1 from 2000 to 2005 and group 2 from 2006 to 2011. 40 cases belonged to group 1 and 13 cases were in the group 2. Group 2 showed more resistance to ampicillin than group 1 but without any statistical significance(25% vs. 38.5%, P=0.349). In group 1, the most common serotype was group D and in group 2, the most common serotype were group C and D. CONCLUSION: Salmonellosis in children was frequently occurred from 2000 to 2003 but decreased after 2004. There was no difference in clinical manifestations, serotypes and antibiotic resistances between the years.

6.Nonunion of Clavicle

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1989;24(3):817-823
Although the clavicle is probably the most commonly fractured bone, nonunions are rare. We experienced 19 cases of clavicle nonunions, trested at the Depatment of Orthopedic Surgery of Wonju Christian Hospital, between January 1980 and June 1988(seven years and six months). This study focused on predisposing factors in relation to nonunion of clavicle and treatment. The factors predisposing to nonunion were middle and lateral 1/3 of clavicle, primary open reduction, severe trauma with associated injury and persistent gross displscement of fregment. Among the 19 patients, 16 patients were treated with semitubular plating and iliac bone grafting, 2 patients with the resection of the distal fregment and one patient was treated with treated with K-wire fixation and bone graft. All patients achived good union by the postoperative 10.7 week on average and symptomes disappeared. It was concluded that symptomatic nonunion of the clavicle could be trested by operation, and the procedure of choice seemed to be rigid internal fixation with plate applied in compression and bone graft.

Low back pain and sciatica is one of the most frequent and troublesome problem in or thropedic field. There are many controversies about surgicsl procedure for the treatment of the patient with herniated nucleus pulposus. The advantages of anterior interbody fusion are through removal of remnsnt of the disc, restoration of disc height, correction of spinal alignment, preservation of posterior elements and neural component. The strut of ilisc bone was firmly impacted and patients could be mobilization earlier. It is well known that symptoms secondary to herniated nucleus pulposus can resolve after disc excision and anterior interbody fusion, but little has been written about regression of herniated nucleus pulposus. We analysed 20 cases in which serial C-T studies disclosed an unequivocal regression or complete disappearance of nucleus pulposus after anterior interbody fusion. The results were summerized as followings ; 1. Regression of herniated nucleus pulposus was average 2.65mm. 2. The clinical results were excellent in 20% of the patients, good in 60% and fair in 20% 3. The comparision are based on the finding at C-T, marked regression(>4mm), was in 19%, moderate regression(2~4mm) in 59% snd minimal regression(<2mm) in 22%. 4. The clinical results were correlated to amount of regression of herniated nucleus pulposus.

Holoprosencephaly is a rare and complex malformation affecting the cleavage of the developing forebrain and is usually associated with defects of the mid Face. We have experienced a case of holoprosencephaly, diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound examination at 31 weeks of pregnancy in a 31-year-old primigravida woman. This case is characterized by holoprosencephaly, cleft palate, cleft lip, left renal aplasia and right renal hypertrophy. The chromosomal study showed a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7, 46, XX, del(7)(q32), We report with a terminal deletion of chromosome 7q associated with atypical clinical picture and holoprosencephaly.
