The fractures of the both forearm bones are extremely common in children. Between the radius and ulna, there is normally through an arc of 180° rotation. To restore full rotation, rotational deformity and angulation after fracture must be corrected. The goal of treatment of the unstable forearm fracture is to increase the function of the forearm and hand as well as to get solid bone union. The general principle of treatment of forearm fracture in children is conservative due to remodeling and spontaneous correction ability. Thus, most fractures at any level need not and should not be treated by open reduction and internal fixation. But the operation will be perform frequently who shortly before maturity. We reviewed twenty-three children between 8-13 age, who had dsiplaced both forearm bones fracture, and who were treated with fixation using K-wire(14 cases) or plate(9 cases). Of the twenty-three fractures, sixteen were unsatisfactory reduction with more than 10° of angulation after initial closed reduction, two were loss of reduction in cast immobilization, and five were internally fixed primarily because of soft tissue interposition between fragment. The results were as follows. l. Operation time was 51.4 minutes in K-wire group and 86.7 minutes in plate group. 2. Bone union occured in all cases, at 7.3 weeks in K-wire fixation group and 8.9 weeks in plate fixation group. And immobilization period 7 weeks in K-wire fixation group and 4 weeks in plate fixation group. 3. Functional results were satisfactory all cases in both group. 4. The advantage of K-wire is a simple safe operation with minimal morbidity and small scar and compares with the extensive approach need for plate fixation which often giving a poor cosmetic result. Moreover, a second operation, with significant morbidity, is need to remove the plate after solid union. In Conclusion, this method is a favorable altenative to plate fixation of children forearm fractures. It allows rapid bone union with minimal morbidity, complication and scar.

The cause of premature ejaculation (PE) has been thought to be psychological in the majority of patients but we investigated penile hypersensitivity for an organic basis of PE. For another organic basis of PE, we have suggested hyperexcitability of the ejaculation center. SS-cream is a topical agent containing 9 oriental herbs for treating PE. Clinically SS-cream has been effective in the treatment of PE. Therefore, in order to implicate the organic basis of PE and realize the effect of SS-cream on PE, we investigated the somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in patients with PE(16 cases) and the effects of SS-cream on SEP for treating PE. The latencies and amplitudes of the evoked responses were measured by two different places in stimuli, one was on the penile shaft with ring electrode and the other on the glans penis with a surface electrode. The latency of SEP stimulated at the glans penis was significantly longer than that stimulated at the penile shaft (p< 0.05). The latency stimulated at the glans penis after applying SS-cream was significantly longer than before applying SS-cream (p< 0.05), which was near the level of a normal potent man. But the latency stimulated at the penile shaft has no significant difference between before and after the application of SS-cream (P > 0.05). The amplitudes of the evoked responses stimulated at the glans penis were significantly higher than those stimulated at penile shaft (p< 0.05). And both these amplitudes were significantly reduced with the application of SS-cream (p< 0.05). With these result, we can suggest that the patients with PE have glans penile hyperexcitability and it provides further implications for an organic basis of PE, SEP stimulated at the glans penis can be a very useful method to evaluate PE, along with SEP stimulated a penile shaft and SS-cream prolongs the sensory conduction and reduces the penile hyperexcitability of the patient with PE.

To confirm the effect of SS-cream, which was based on the traditional Chinese Royal herb remedy including 8 oriental herb combinations, 43 out of 150 patients with premature ejaculation (PE) were selected and investigated for a double-blind clinical trial between Nov. 1993 and Feb. l994. There mean age was 41.4 years. The 28 patients complained of PE only but 15 had concurrent mild psychogenic impotence. Only 20% of their spouse was satisfied for sexual lives. The packages of SS-cream and controls such as 1.25% (LL), 5%(ML) and 10%(HL) lidocaine cream were made similarly as much as 0.2g. They were randomly divided into the 5 groups. Each patient was assigned to apply LL, ML or SS cream once a weak for 4 consecutive weeks as scheduled. A within subjects comparison of pre and post application for ejaculation time and spouse's satisfaction was investigated. The applied groups such as LL, ML and HL cream were not effective. After SS-cream application, ejaculation time was delayed upto mean 11.3min. in 40(93%) and most of them with PE only as well as PE associated with impotence were satisfied. These data suggest that SS-cream is effective in treating PE as well as PE with mild impotence.
