1.Epidemiological characteristics of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases 2000;49(4):412-420
BACKGROUND: There is increasing concern in many countries about the problem of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Prevalence of primary drug-resistant tuberculosis is the optimal epidemiological indicator for long term monitoring of national tuberculosis control program. Our purpose was The purpose of our study is to assess clinical characteristics and socioeconomic status of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. METHODS: We studied 68 cases with durg-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection diagnosed at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital from March, 1995 to February, 2000. RESULTS: Patients with primary drug-resistant tuberculosis(PDR) were younger(39.6±16.3 years vs. 48.2±16.5 years; p<0.05), had more population of less than more were under the age of 40 years aged-group(62.9% vs. 36.4%; p<0.05) and were more highly educated than those with acquired drug-resistant tuberculosis(ADR)(38.9% vs. 11.1%; p<0.05). In patients with ADR, the rates of familial history of tuberculosis and living in a rented house residence in a rented house were increased higher than compared with to those of patients with PDR. Patients with ADR had more involved lobes(2.0±0.8 vs. 1.4±0.7; p<0.01) and longer treatment duration than those with PDR(18.3±7.2 months vs. 10.6±6.3 months; p<0.05). Patients with ADR showed larger numbers of resistant were resistant to more number of drugs, lower hospitalization rate and higher rate of self-interruption of medication than those with PDR. In patients with PDR, mono-drug resistance was increased, whereas poly-and multi-drug resistances were decreased compared with those with ADR. Resistance to isoniazid was the highest among antituberculosis drugs, and resistance to isoniazid in patients with ADR was higher than that in patients with PDR(90.9% vs. 71.4%; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ADR were more likely to include more population be of lower socioeconomic class, and patients with PDR seem seemed to be young and socially active population. For control of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, proper isolation and prevention of patient with drug-resistant tuberculosis are needed.

2.Risk Factors in Early Life for Preschool Children in Korea that are Associated with Being Overweight or Obese
Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives 2020;11(1):15-26
The present study addressed the risk factors in early life for Korean preschool children that are associated with being overweight or obese. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to conduct this study, which included 507 mothers with preschool children aged 3–5 years, who attended daycare centers. Data were acquired via a self-administered questionnaire completed by the mothers. Of the 650 questionnaires that were distributed, 507 (78%) were completed and sent back. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors in early life, which may contribute to being overweight or obese in preschool children. Fifty-eight (11.4%) preschool children were overweight and 41 (8.1%) were obese. Multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates, revealed a significant association with the introduction of solid foods before 4 months of age [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 9.49, The findings of this study highlighted the need for parenting education programs on feeding practices to increase their understanding of hunger and satiety cues in infants, and appropriate timing for the introduction of solid foods.

Placenta previa percreta is an uncommon and lifetbreatening complication of pregnancy. tbe incidence of both placenta previa and placenta acaeta are increased in patients with scaned uteri, and patienth with uterine scars and placenta previa are at inaeased risk for also baving placenta accreta. A case of placents previa percreta involving the urinary bladder was experienced and treated with surgical management. We reported a case with concerned literatures

The acardius occurs with an incidence of one in 35,000 births and is presumed to result hom vascular anastomosis between the arterial circulation of the hemodynamically larger ""pump"" twin and that of the recipient ""perfused"" twin. The perfused twin displays severe anomalies, typically referred to as acardia, that are incompatible with life. The pump twin, because of its expanded cardiac demand, may also deveolp cardiac failure, with a mortality risk of 50-70%. We experienced one case of acardiac-acephalus twin gestation diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography, and presented this.

Multicystic ovary was first described by Silver in 1958 as a rare case feature of acquired primary hypothyroidism. In 1980, Lindsay reported four girls with hypothyroidism associated with multicystic ovary diagnosed by pelvic ultrasonography. The mechanism of ovarian cyst formation and pseudoprecocious puberty in severe hypothyroidism in childhood are unknown. Increased ovarian sensitivity to GnRH and increased TSH level which acts on FSH receptor is one of the mechanism explained. We report a case of a girl with primary hypothyroidism presented with pseudoprecocious puberty and giant follicular ovarian cyst with torsion.

Background: Gastric juice volume and acidity are influenced by food, drugs, and patient factors such as age, sex, weight, and fasting time. But almost studies were performed without controlling of these confounding variables. This study was designed to determine the change of gastric juice volume and acidity in relation to the fasting time within a constant food intake. Methods: Fifty-seven healthy patient randomly allocated to one of two groups. Group I was instructed to ingest 200 ml of milk up to 8 hours before anesthesia and Group II was instructed to drink 200 ml of water up to 1~2 hours before anesthesia. After the endotracheal intubation the volume and acidity of gastric juice were measured. Relationships between gastric volume or acidity and fasting time were analysed using correlation analysis. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test, comparing Group I with Group II. Results: There is no significant relationship between gastric juice volume or acidity and the fasting time within the same food intake. Gastric juice volume and acidity of the patients who ingested milk at 8~9 hours before anesthesia were similar to that of those patients who drank water at 1~2 hours before anesthesia. Conclusion: It is necessary to individualize the fasting time of the patients and it seems that water ingestion up to 1~2 hours before anesthesia may be safe.
