PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the association between Sasang constitution and type A/B personality. METHOD: The subjects for this study were 113 Korean adults living in Kangwon Province, the northeastern part of Korea. The data were collected from March 10 to April 13, 2002 using a structured questionnaire. The instrument for this study were QCSS II (Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Clsssification II) by Kim et al.(1996), and the Revised Type A/B personality by Eysenck & Fulker(1983). The data were analyzed through the SPSS 10.0 for Windows program using frequency, percentage, x2-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The results of the study are as follows: 1. Of 113 Korean adults, the portion who were Taieum-in, Soeum-in, Soyang-in was 39.8%, 34.5%, 25.7% respectively. 2. For type A/B personality, mixed type was most common, 19.4% of the participants were of type B and 8.0%., type A. 3. For type A/B behavior, mixed type was most common at 47.8% and type A was 2.7%. 4. There were statistically significant differences in the Sasang constitutional type according to BMI (F=14.542, P<.001), and alcohol consumption (F=4.256, P<.018). 5. There were significant difference between type A/B personality and BMI (F=3.592, P<.032). 6. The data shows correlations between BMI and amount smoked per day (r=2.74, P<.004), between BMI and alcohol consumption (r=-.303, P<.008), between BMI and Sasang constitutional type (r= -0.592, P<0.0001), between BMI and type A/B personality (r=285, P<.011), between amount smoked per day and alcohol consumption (r=.-361, P<.001), between alcohol consumption and Sasang constitutional type (r=-.306, P<.019), between perceived health state and type A/A personality (r=.246, P<.011). CONCLUSION: According to the above findings, it can be concluded that further research is need to understand the Sasang constitution for the discipline of Nursing and for nurses to prepare nursing protocols relevant to Sasang constitutional care. Also, Sasang constitution has to be considered in research and practice in the health care delivery system.

Factitious fever has been a rare cause of fever of unknown origin. We herein report a case of a young soldier, who presented with persistent fever of unusual pattern and bullae on both palms. After numerous investigations had excluded organic diseases, factitious fever was diagnosed with measurement of the freshly voided urine temperatures and body temperatures while directly observed. Biopsy of skin lesions revealed friction blister. Early recognition of this cause of fever is needed to avoid the unnecessary investigation and prolonged hospitalization.

PURPOSE: This study was performed in order to compare unenhanced CT with diffusion-weighted, T2-weight-ed,and fast FLAIR MR imaging in the detection of hyperacute cerebral ischema induced in a dog and to deter-mine whichmodality first detected cerebral ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental cerebral infarction was induced bythe occlusion of intracerebral arter-ies using embolic materials (polyvinyl-alcohol, 300 -6 00 micro) introducedthrough a microcatheter into the internal carotid artery of five dogs weighing 12 -20 kg. Serial CT and MR imageswere obtained at one hour intervals from one to five hours after occlusion, and were analyzed independently by tworadiologists. We assessed changes in attenuation, as seen on unenhanced CT and the signal intensity of the lesionon each MR image, and measured the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the lesions. RESULTS: Ischemic lesions weredetected on unenhanced CT 1 -3 hours after occlusion of cerebral arteries. In all dogs, the lesions were detectedearliest on diffusion-weighted images obtained at 1 hour. They were detect-ed on T2-weighted images at 3 -5 hoursand on fast FLAIR images of 2 -5 hours. The CNR of ischemic lesions increased gradually during the 5-hour period.It was highest on diffusion-weighted images, while on unen-hanced CT, T2-weighted, and fast FLAIR images it wassimilar. CONCLUSION: Hyperacute ischemic lesions were detected earliest on diffusion-weighted images, and earlieron unenhanced CT than on fast FLAIR or T2-weighted MR image.

A 77-year-old female patient underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with concomitant septal myectomy and tricuspid annuloplasty. Her symptoms did not improve after a successful operation. Echocardiogram demonstrated the presence of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD). It was muscular in location and not the usual AVR with membraneous type of VSD, suggesting a complication from the myectomy. Percutaneous closure of the VSD remained the only feasible option due to her poor overall medical status. A 14-mm Amplazter VSD occluder was deployed successfully, by means of the trans-septal technique. She has improved very well postoperatively.

T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare form of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The standard approach for management of T-LBL involves intensive multiagent chemotherapy regimens for induction and consolidation phases with central nervous system prophylaxis and a maintenance phase lasting 12-18 months. We report on a case of long-term survival after one cycle of hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD) and high-dose methotrexate. A 30-year-old woman diagnosed with T-LBL with a large mediastinal mass underwent one cycle of hyper-CVAD. Four days after the start of treatment, the mediastinal mass was markedly reduced. Treatment continued with one cycle of consolidation chemotherapy, comprising high-dose methotrexate and high-dose cytarabine. The patient then refused all further chemotherapeutic treatment. Seven years have passed without relapse.

OBJECTIVE: Endoscopic resection(ER) is effective therapy on EGC and which is treated according to the histological diagnosis of forcep biopsy. But sometimes the histological diagnosis of forcep biopsy and post-ER does not match with each other and it might lead to wrong treatment. The aim of this study is to find the frequency of histologic differences between forcep biopsy and post-ER, and to confirm the characteristics of lesions which make errors. METHODS: We selected the confirmed cancer cases of 141 patients of 1359 gastric tumor lesions which were treated under the ER in Eulji university hospital from May 2005 to March 2013. They were sorted by the age and sex of patient, location of lesion, present of ulcer and depression to identify the discordance between forcep biopsy and ER. The discordant group was compared with non-cancer-diagnosed controlled group, retrospectively. RESULTS: 70 cases(5.5%) of 1283 cases of "cancer negative" in forceps biopsy were found to be diagnosed cancer on final diagnosis of cancer by post-ER result. In this discordant group showed characteristics of bigger size that are with more frequently in tumor size >==15mm(17.9% vs. 31.4%, p=0.03), have depressed lesion(14.3% vs. 41.4%, p<0.01) and have ulceration(2.4% vs.18.6%, p<0.01) than that of 84 control group not diagnosed cancer. CONCLUSIONS: In cases of tumor with size >==15mm, presented with depressed lesion and ulceration, we should consider combined cancer, even the result of forcep biopsy was negative. Therefore, more careful and accurate resection should be taken with characters listed above.

Takayasu's arteritis is generally recognized as a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory disease, which affects the aorta and the proximal portions of its major branches. We experienced a patient with Takayasu's arteritis who was presented with main pulmonary artery stenosis and right coronary ostial occlusion without involvement of aorta nor its major branches. She was managed with pulmonary arterioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft. This case emphasize that the disease cannot affect the aorta.

PURPOSE: We aimed to compare the clinical characteristics between neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of neonates (PPHN) with parenchymal lung disease (PLD) and those with idiopathic PPHN. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 67 neonates with gestational ages not lesser than 34⁺⁰ weeks who were born at Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital between June 1, 2005 and December 31, 2016. We excluded 10 neonates who presented with congenital anomalies (n=3), dextrocardia (n=1), triple X syndrome (n=1), death before treatment (n=1), neonatal asphyxia (n=2), and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (n=2). Neonates were categorized into 2 groups—PPHN with PLD (PLD group, those diagnosed with PLD such as respiratory distress syndrome or meconium aspiration syndrome, n=36) and idiopathic PPHN (idiopathic group, n=21). We compared the clinical characteristics, treatment, and laboratory findings between the groups. RESULTS: The PLD group neonates showed a greater requirement for positive pressure ventilation in the delivery room, higher frequency of meconium staining of amniotic fluid, and greater need for surfactant application than those belonging to the idiopathic group. In contrast, epinephrine use was more common in the idiopathic PPHN group than in the PLD group. The 1-minute Apgar score and pH observed on initial capillary blood gas analysis were lower in the PLD than in the idiopathic group. Severity scores were higher in the idiopathic than in the PLD group 4–7 days after birth. CONCLUSION: In our study, an overall simplified severity score in the first week after birth was higher in the idiopathic than in the PLD group. These results were particularly statistically significant over postnatal days 4–7.
