There is debatable opinions as to the nature and clinical significance of the changes that may occur in the spine after posterior spine fusion performed in growing children. Clinical survey is known to be difficult because X-ray films in children are not easy to interpret and measure in the presence of disease and accuracy is uncertain due to magnification on X-ray films. Authors selected 8 cases of tuberculous spondylitis which were managed with posterior spine fusion under the criterias that cases had surgery under 10 years old, no evidence of pseudoarthrosis clinically and roentgenologically on serial examinations at least once 1 year, follow-up more than 2 years since 3 months after surgery, enough spines are included on lateral X-ray films, and accurate measurement and correction of magnification are possible. The cases were surveyed for changes occured in fused spines after posterior spine fusion and the results were as follows: 1. There was actual lengthening of grafted bone mass after solid fusion in all cases although the amounts were minimal. 2. The fused spines grew 46% on an average less than adjacent normal unfused spines. 3. The vertebral bodies of fused spines grew nearly same as the adjacent normal vertebral bodies. 4, The intervertebral disc spaces of the fused spines were narrowed in all cases. 5. The intervertebral angles had tendency to increase and kyphosis angles to decrease.

Twelve cases of compression arthrodesis of the knee, which was performed during the period 1973 to 1978, were reviewed. All of the cases had tuberculous arthritis of the knee and included 3 children. Post-operative management was carried out with compression in a long leg cast with crutch walking for an average of 6 weeks and successive cylinder casts without compression and permitting full weight bearing were applied on an average of every 7 weeks. All cases eventually revealed bony fusion and the tuberculosis subsided without signiflcant complications even in the children.

The contents of their consultation were as follows: (1) Dental problems; 81 (18.0%) (2) Extremity pain; 56 (13.0%)(3) Abdominal pain; 52 (12.0%) (4) Skin disease; 34 (7.6%) (5) Headache; 30 (6.7%) 10) Number of the pupil sttended to school inspite of disease was 846 (36.3%). The caustive diseases were as follows: (1) Upper respiratory infection; 217 (25,7%) (2) Abdominal pain; 27 (3.2%) (3) Fever; 24 (2.8%) (4) Trauma; 8 (0.9%) (5) Infection (Measles, Mumps, Chicken pox et.); 6 (0.7%) .

6.Association between oral examination and out-of-pocket expenditures on dental care
Journal of Korean Academy of Oral Health 2022;46(1):11-20
Objectives:
The purpose of this study is to identify the association between oral examinations and out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures on dental care by age groups.
Methods:
The Korea Health Panel 2011-2018 data were used to aggregate eight-year outpatient data for 12,684 individuals who were household members that responded to the 2011 survey. The final study subjects included 5,305 individuals who have been retained in the panel with at least one OOP expenditure on dental care over eight years. The dependent and independent variables were the individual’s average OOP dental care expenditures and oral examination, respectively. For age-stratification analysis, they were categorized into seven age groups: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and 75+years. The difference in OOP expenditures on dental care by subject characteristics was analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA. Log-linear regression models were used to analyze the effect of oral examinations on OOP expenditures on dental care.
Results:
Individuals who underwent an oral examination had an approximately 1.4% higher OOP expenditure on dental care than their counterparts (β=0.014, P=0.0072). Age-stratified analyses showed that among people in the 55-64 group those who underwent an oral examination had an approximately 2.3% higher OOP expenditure on dental care than non-examiners (β=0.023, P=0.0218).
Conclusions
There was no evidence that oral examination could lead to increased OOP expenditure on dental care, except among those aged 55-64.

'Num-chin syndrome', isolated mental neuropathy, is a rare manifestaion of malignant hernatologic diseases, but important sign for early diagnosis and prediction of clinical course and prognosis. Here we report 7 cases of numb-chin syndrome; one in leukemic transformation of malignant lymphoma, one in blastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia and 5 in acute leukemia Two cases of acute leukemia revealed the 'numb-chin sign' in early course of disease before the diagnosis of leukemia and other three in aggravating state of acute leukemia. The therapeutic response and prognosis was poor and 5 cases expired in a few months.

The symptoms and signs of acute pulmonary arteries thrombosis are nonspecific. So clinical suspicion is the most important in the diagnosis. Treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism include anticoagulant, thrombolytic agent, or surgical intervention. We experienced a case of recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism without coagulation defect and any risk factor except old age and obese. Initially we treated with heparin, but clinical symptoms were aggravated. After we changed to urokinase (total 330 million IU/2 days), the pulmonary arteries obstruction were resolved and clinical symptoms were improved without any complications. So we report this clinical experience with review of articles.

Two cases of malignant melanoma which are located in the bulbar conjunctiva are presented. A case of 56 years old male revealed melanosis in his medial palpebral conjunctiva and wedge shaped resection was performed. The other case of 76 years old male had dark brownish strawberry like pedunclated mass in his lateral bulbar conjunctiva and limbal area with history of progressive enlargement. This tumor mass was excised radically. Above two cases were confirmed as malignant melanoma histopathologically.
