OBJECTIVES: This Study was designed to investigate the pattern of AUI(Alcohol Use Inventory) and MAST(Michigan Alcohol Screening Test) according to the awareness of drinking problem and receptiveness to treatment, and to know whether the type(type1 and type 2 according to Barbor's typology) has effects on the RECPAWAR(acknowledgement and awareness of use problem and receptive to treatment of these problem) score. METHODS: Subjects were 134 alcoholic patients from Alcoholic treatment ward. They were requested to fill up the questionnaires of Korean version of AUI and MAST(MAST for patient and MAST for caretaker). At first, based on the RECPAWAR, they divided into high RECPAWAR group(above 30 percentile) and low RECPAWAR group(below 30 percentile). According to typology, they divided into type 1 and type 2. The data was analyzed by T-test, Correlation, and Regression Analysis. RESULTS: 1) Significant negative correlation was observed between RECPAWAR score and MAST difference score(patient's MAST-caretaker's MAST). 2) High RECPAWAR group had significantly higher scores in the most scales than low RECP-AWAR group, except ENHANCED scale in AUI. 3) There was not significant difference on RECPAWAR score between type 1 and type 2. CONCLUSION: Except ENHANCED scale, the high RECPAWAR group had higher score in the second level scale. As compared with the low RECPAWAR group, the high RECPAWAR group responds more negative in drinking, and is more anxious about their drinking problems. So, they seem to have the objective view about their drinking problems. However the type was not related to receptive and awareness of drinking problem.

In an effort to characterize the trend of renal injury of recent years, we reviewed the charts and x-ray films of 50 patients with renal trauma which occurred in the last 6 years. They were 42 males and 8 females with a mean age of 26.4 years (range: 5 to 66) and most of them are younger generation. The main causes of injury were related to falling down in 21 cases (42%) and traffic accident in 17 cases (34%), followed by stab injury in 7 cases and assault in 5 cases. The severity of renal injury was classified using the renal injury scale which was published by the Organ Injury Scaling (O.I.S.) Committee of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (A.A.S.T.) in 1989. According to radiologic and operative findings, they were classified as follows; Grade I, 4 cases; Grade II, 7 cases; Grade III, 12 cases; Grade IV, 23 cases; and Grade V, 4 cases. Of the 50 patients, 39 had gross hematuria and remaining 11 patients had microscopic hematuria. There was no correlation between the degree of hematuria and the severity of renal injury (p=0.098). The major combined other organ injuries were hemoperitoneum in 12 cases, fracture of extremities in 8 cases, liver laceration in 5 cases, hemopneumothorax in 4 cases and intestinal perforation in 2 cases. Surgical treatment was performed in 27 cases (54%) and the remaining 23 cases (46%) which were renal laceration of various degrees without intraperitoneal injuries were managed conservatively.

Twenty patients were operated on under the diagnosis of congenital nystagmus(CN). Of these, nineteen were motor CN and one was sensory CN. Head turning was toward the leftside in 13 patients(65.0%) and the rightside in 7(35.0%). Preoperatively, the degree of head turn ranged from 20 degrees to 45 degrees with a mean of 34.5 degrees. Primarily, modified Kestenbaum procedures were performed and, if necessary, 2nd and/or 3rd operations(Anderson's procedure, Goto's procedure) were performed additionally. The degrees of head turn after the 1st operation ranged from -5 degrees to 30 degrees with a mean of 11.5 degrees. On an average, 23.5 degrees was corrected by 14.8mm of operation on muscles(resection plus recession) for each eye. By these procedures, seventeen patients(85.0%) showed improvement or cure(75% after 1st operation and 10% after 2nd and/or 3rd operation).
