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.

Paragonimiasis*

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.

PURPOSE: To compare the detectability and conspicuity of focal hepatic lesions among conventional spin echo techniqueniques and fast scanning techniqueniques in MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHOD: 36 patients (24 men and 12 women, mean age of 54 years) with suspected liver mass on CT scan and US underwent MR imaging at 1.5 T system. Conventional spin echo T1, T2 weighted imaging, T2 weighted fast spin echo, T1 weighted fast multiplanar spoiled gradient recalled(FMPSPGR) imaging and Gd-enhanced FMPSPGR(Gd-FMPSPGR) were performed. 16 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, 13 cases of hemangioma, 3 cases of metastasis, 3 cases of cholangiocarcinoma, and 1 case of lymphoma were included. Lesion conspicuity and number of detected hepatic masses were compared among the MR sequences. RESULTS: Overall 63 hepatic lesions were detected in 36 patients. Lesion detection' was 63(100%) with Gd-FMPSPGR, 62(98%) with non-enhanced FMPSPGR, 58(92%) with SE T2WI, 56(89%) with SE T1WI and 54 (86%)with FSE. For solid tumors, the contrast to noise ratio was greatest on Gd-FMPSPGR which was significantly higher than any other sequences. For hemangiomas it was greatest on SE T2WI and was significantly higher than SE T1WI. In the qualitative assessment, Gd-FMPSPGR was preferred for both solid mass lesion and hemangioma. FSE was inferior to SE T2WI for lesion detection and conspicuity without statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: For the evaluation of focal hepatic lesions, breath-hold FMPSPGR with and without contrast enhancement may replace the conventional SE T1WI. Because FSE was inferior to SE T2WI when the later is used with respiratory compensation in some cases, it is difficult to replace the SE T2WI with FSE. But FSE, FMPSPGR and Gd-FMPSPGR images, when combined, may replace SE T1WI and SE T2WI.
