3.Limbic Bone of Vertebra 3 case of acute symptomatic limbic bone of vertebrae
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1979;14(3):568-571
Limbic bone or persistant epiphysis seen roentgenographically on the anterosuperior aspects of the vertebral bodies represents another form of discal extrusion, seperating a small fragment of bone from the body of the involved vertebra. Lindblom, in 1951, demonstrated the pathophysiology with discography. Anterior herniation of the nucleus pulposus was also revealed by discography by Cloword and Buzaid in 1952. The authors reviewed 3 cases of limbic bone of the vertebrae.

One hundred and four cases of the ankle fracture have been treated and managed in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College Hospital. During the period from January, 1968 to December, 1971. 104 patients were analyzed clinically and the results obtained were as follow. 1. The causes of ankle fractures were mostly due to traffic accident 49.9% and direct blow 30.7%. 2. The incidence of trauma was in the young man, most frequent in the 3rd decaed. 3. In classification of Lauge-Hansen, the type of pronation-external rotation is most common type in this series and the stage III of pronation-external rotation is more common than other stages. 4. The average duration of cast immobilization is 8.8 weeks after closed reduction performed but duration of cast immobilization is shorter after open reduction of cast immobilization. 5. Anatomical reduction was obtained in 64 patients 61.5% with good objective clinical results in 54 patients 51.9% 6. The quality of clinical results depends mostly on the accuracy of the reduction, to a lesser extent on the degree of initial displacements, and least on the type of fracture.

We present a case of bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma in a two year old female, in whom no hereditary background was found. The skin lesion was characterized clinically by blister formation with generalized erythematous hyperkeratosis which was especially prominent on the flexural surfaces of extremities and intertriginous areas. The histopathologic examination revealed marked hyperkeratosis, cavity changes of the malpighian cells with perinuclear vacuoles and markedly thickened granular layer containing many keratohyaline granules.

Urea reduction ratio (URR) and Kt/Vurea are objective parameters of dialysis delivery in hemodialysis patients and correlate with nutritional status and patient outcome. URR and Kt/Vurea depend on postdialysis blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In patients with severe postdialysis urea rebound (PDUR), these parameters do not accurately reflect dialysis adequacy. We measured PDUR 30 minutes after dialysis in 26 chronic stable hemodialysis patients. The impact of PDUR on dialysis delivery assessed by URR and Kt/Vurea and the independent factors affecting on PDUR were evaluated. All patients had been dialyzed for 4 hours thrice a week using hemophan membrane. 1) The mean age of patients was 48.6+/-14.8 years and sex ratio was 1:2.3. The mean duration of hemodialysis was 42.7+/-45.0 months. Primary renal diseases were chronic glomerulonephritis 11 (42.3%), diabetic nephropathy 7 (26.9%), and hypertension 4 (15.4%). 2) The mean blood flow was 209.2+/-17.4ml/min. URR, Kt/Vurea, and nPCR using immediate postdialysis BUN were 60+/-7%, 1.13+/-0.21, 1.09+/-0.28g/kg/ day, respectively. The mean recirculation rate was 4.4+/-2.3%. 3)The mean PDUR was 12.2+/-4.6% (range:6-22 %). URR, Kt/Vurea, and nPCR using BUN 30 minutes after dialysis were 55+/-7%, 0.99+/-0.18, and 1.02+/-0.25 g/kg/day, respectively and were significantly lower than those using immediate postdialysis BUN (P<0.05). 4) When the patients were divided according to the degree of PDUR (low PDUR group:<12%, high PDUR group: > or = 12%), high PDUR group was significantly higher than low PDUR group in hematocrit (27.0+/-2.6 vs. 23.5+/-3.6%, P=0.008), URR (64.3+/-5.4 vs. 55.8+/-6.8%, P=0.002), Kt/Vurea (1.26+/-0.17 vs. 1.03+/-0.18, P=0.002), and total recirculation rate (5.6+/-2.7 vs. 3.6+/-1.7%, P=0.05). There were no differences in age, sex, postdialysis body weight, ultrafiltration rate, blood flow, serum albumin, predialysis BUN, creatinine, and nPCR. 5) In multiple regression analysis, the independent factors affecting on PDUR were Kt/Vurea (beta=0.546, P<0.001), recirculation rate (beta=0.422, P<0.001), and hematocrit (beta=0.366, P=0.0017). In conclusion, we think that PDUR should be considered in hemodialysis patients when estimating dialysis delivery, especially if they had high Kt/ Vurea, recirculation rate, and hematocrit.

The authors aimed to apply a nonsurgioal and atraumatic method for avulsing dystrophic nails due to onyohomyoosis by using 22.25% urea ointment under occlusive dressing. One hundred and eighty-nine nails with onychomycosis in fifty-five patients were treated by this rnethod. The results obtained a,re as follows: 1. Of a total of 82 fingernails and 107 toenails in 55 patients, all fingernails and 103 toenails showed an excellent response with easy removal of the diseased nails. 2. The duration tha.t the occluded urea ointment remained in place before sucessful avulsion was 6.7(range, 3 to 18) days for fingernails, and 9.1(range, 3 to 18) days for toenails with onychomycosis. 3. Of 4 nails of control group which were treated with white petrolatum, none showed the significant improvernent. 4. The problems during this treatment were; severe irritation with pain(l case), mild irzitation and/or itching(5 cases), and pin-point bleeding on curettage of nail bed (19 cases). It is suggested the urea treatment has many advantages and seemed to be ideal for patients with digital vascular insufficiency and increased susceptibility to infection.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined exercise on visceral fat, cardiac function, adipocytokine, and NT-pro BNP concentration according to angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) genotype in obese middle aged men. Fifty three obese men (II type: 18, ID type: 20, DD type: 15), ratio of visceral and subcutaneous were over 0.4, were enrolled in the study. The combined exercise program included stretching, resistance training, aerobic exercise, and yoga. The exercise was conducted for 60 minutes, 4 times a week for 12 week period. ACE genotype was determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the genetic subtype was classified in three patterns e.g. II, ID, DD. As a results, body weight, BMI, and WHR significantly decreased after 12 weeks of combined exercise in ID type and DD type. Body fat(%), visceral fat and V/S significantly decreased after 12 weeks in DD type. HDL-C and LDL-C significantly improved in II, ID and DD type. Cardiac structure decreased in all genotype and cardiac function increased in DD type. IL-6 and NT-pro BNP, the risk factors of cardiovascular disease, were significantly decreased in DD type, after 12 weeks. Therefore, exercises have shown to be most effective in type DD which is also considered as the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Among all the ACE genotype, DD type requires the most exercise.
