Delayed diagnosis of the compartmental syndrome and subsequent delay in performing the fasciotomy can result in needless loss of function and possible amputation of the involved extremity. Unfortunately early evidence of this syndrome is difficult to assess. A direct measurement of the tissue pressure within a closed compartment has been developed which provides physicians with reliable information for determining the need for fasciotomy. In the 27 cases of the tibia fracture, tissue pressure was measured directly by method of the needle manometer in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Han Kang Sung Sim Hospital from March, 1979 to August, 1979. The results were as follows: 1. The highest mean tissue pressure per hour was 28 mmHg in anterior compartment at 24 hours after trauma, and 28.4 mmHg in deep post compartment at the same hours. 2. The highest pressure measured in all cases was 38 mmHg in anterior compartment at 24 hours and 39 mmHg in deep posterior compartment at 48 hours after trauma. 3. The return of increased tissue pressure to less than 10 mmHg took 122.6 hours in anterior and 124.4 hours in deep posterior compartment. 4. Tissue pressre was higher when there was associated fibula fracture. 5. Tissue pressure was higher in displaced fractures than in undisplaced fractures. 6. Tissue pressure was higher when fracture was in its upper one-third. 7. Tissue pressure was higher in comminuted fracture than simple fracture.

4.Delayed Hemorrhage of the Hepatic Artery Caused by Biliary Stenting after Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 2020;81(5):1216-1221
Neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been increasingly used to obtain secondary resectability for locally advanced pancreatic cancers. Although most patients require biliary decompression, only a few studies have investigated the safety of biliary stenting with chemoradiotherapy. Herein, we report a rare case of delayed hemorrhage of the hepatic artery caused by biliary stenting after chemoradiotherapy. The serial follow-up CT demonstrated that the biliary stent was approaching the right hepatic artery and eventually caused acute angulation and indentation. Diagnostic catheter angiography revealed contrast extravasation at the right hepatic artery, and endovascular embolization was performed. This report highlights the relevance of anatomical deformation after chemoradiotherapy, which can result in fatal complications. Indentation of the hepatic artery caused by biliary stents should be recognized as a warning sign of vascular injury.

BACKGROUND: Clinically apparent thyroid nodule is a very common disease in adults. Patients are often treated with thyroxine in order to reduce the size of the nodule, but the efficacy of thyroxine-suppressive therapy with thyroxine remains uncertain. We investigated the efficacy of thyroxine-suppressive therapy and the hormonal characteristics during thyroxine therapy to find out whether such measurement could be used to determine the effectiveness of this therapy in patients with benign solitary thyroid nodule proved by aspiration biopsy. METHODS: In this study, 54 patients were randomly assigned to receive L-thyroxine (Group I, n=24) or placebo (GroupII, n=30) for 1 year. High resolution ultrasonography (10MHz) was used to measure the size of the nodules at six month intervals. Thyroid hormones and thyroglobulin assay and FNA (fine needle aspiration) was done at the same time. The dose of thyroxine was 200ug/day. Patients were followed at 6 month intervals. RESULTS: The results were as follows: 1) 13 (54.1%) out of 24 Group I patients after adequate TSH suppression had a statistically significant reduction of nodule size and before-to-after nodule volume ratios were significantly different between the Group I and Group II patients. 2) In the responders among Group I patients, the before-to-after therapy ratio of the nodule volume was not related to the pretreatment nodule size, thyroid hormones and thyroglobulin levels. CONCLUSION: Thus we concluded that an adequate suppressive dose of L-thyroxine significantly altered the volume of the benign solitary thyroid nodules 12 months later.

7.Attritional Flexor Tendon Ruptures after Malunited Distal Radial Fracture: A Case Report.
Journal of the Korean Fracture Society 2006;19(1):93-95
Ruptures of extensor pollicis longus tendon after distal radial fractures are well-known. However, delayed flexor tendon rupture of finger as a complication of the fracture are less common. We report the case of delayed rupture of flexor digitorum profundus tendon to middle and ring fingers and flexor digitorum superficialis to ring finger in 72 year old female patient. She was treated by free tendon graft with palmaris longus tendon. After 1 year follow-up, range of motion and flexion power were recovered to nearly normal.

OBJECTIVES: There is an increasing concern for the social, economic, environmental and health effects of the Asian dust (Hwang-sa in Korean language) in Korea. In this study, we intended to indirectly determine ordinary people's perception about the Asian dust by analyzing the contents of newspaper articles dealing with it. METHODS: By using article searching services in the internet websites of three newspaper companies, we collected newspaper articles dealing with the Asian dust during the period from January 1st of 1998 to December 31st of 2002. We classified the articles into four categories: those forecasting the occurrence of the Asian dust, those about measures to cope with it, those about its occurrence in the neighboring foreign countries, and those about its effects. In particular, we analyzed articles about the health effects of the Asian dust more distinctly. RESULTS: A total of 1, 225 articles dealing with the Asian dust were found during the 5 year period. The number of articles increased from 102 in 1998 to 518 in 2002, approximately a five-fold increase. The numbers of articles about health effects, environmental effects and economical effects were 191 (44%), 171 (41%) and 147 (34%), respectively. It was reported that various diseases such as respiratory diseases (87%), eye problems (69%), and skin diseases (12%) were associated with the Asian dust. CONCLUSION: The increasing concern for the negative effects of the Asian dust necessitates more studies about this field. As the effects of the Asian dust are various, the information on the major concern of ordinary people could help establish the research agendas and measures for the Asian dust.
