1.Surgical Treatment of the Distal Radius Fracture
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1995;30(5):1423-1432
Fractures of the distal radius are one of the most common injuries met in the orthopedic field. Once it was thought that good function comes despite of poor anatomic restoration in the distal radius fractures. But now there are wide consensus that more aggressive surgical treatments are needed in such complex fractures to fulfill the better clinical results. We reviewed 56 consecutive distal radius fractures of 54 patients treated surgically in Orthopedic Department of Asan Medical Center between October 1989 and July 1994. The mean length of follow-up was 29.2 months. Clinical end results were statistically analyzed according to each anatomi- cal variables and state of distal ulna, and anatomies and results were analyzed according to different surgical modalities in each fracture classes. Radial length and radial inclination was significantly correlated with clinical results. The clinical results were significantly worse when dorsal tilt exceeded 10. In intraarticular type of fractures, residual articular incongruency seems to be the significantly affecting factor of development of arthritis and the clinical result. The associated fracture of distal end of the ulna did not significantly affect the result. In same type of fracture class, achievement and loss of reduction, arthritis, and Demerit score show no significant differences between groups of different surgical modalities. Probably this is due to proper choice of modalities in each different situations.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perinatal prognosis of fetuses with a single umbilical artery. METHODS: From 1992 to 1998, nineteen cases with single umbilical artery(SUA) was observed in 8,704 deliveries at Chonnam University Hospital. RESULTS: Out of nineteen fetuses, thirteen fetuses with single umbilical artery were detected by antenatal ultrasonographic examination and six fetuses were detected after birth. The male to female ratio was 0.9: 1. Congenital malformations were observed in 8 babies(42.1%) and included leg deformity, esophageal atresia, imperforated anus, ventriculomegaly, meningocele, hydronephrosis, ventricular septal defect, joint contracture, cleft lip and palate, toe anomaly, imperforated anus, kyphosis, no urethra and testis, clubfoot, patent ductus arteriosus and rnild mitral regurgitation. Among 10 cases of karyotyping analysis three cases were diagnosed as trisomy 18. Fourteen fetuses(77.8%) showed growth restriction at delivery. Antenatal obstetric complications were hydramnios(n = 3), oligohydramnios(n =2), and severe preeclampsia(n = 3). CONCLUSION: Careful ultrasonographic evaluation for the identification of a SUA is necessary because of its frequent association with congenital anomaly, growth restriction and cytogenetic abnormality.

PURPOSE: Cholestatic liver disease is a frequent complication of prolonged parenteral nutrition, especially in premature infants. The purpose of present study is to evaluate the clinical and biochemical efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in premature infants with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) cholestasis. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of 31 prematures with TPN cholestasis in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Chonnam University Hospital from January 1995 and December 2002 was done. Prematures were divided into two groups based on UDCA treatment: the study group (n=22, with UDCA treatment) and the control group (n=9, without UDCA treatment). Treatment efficacy of UDCA was evaluated by monitoring the changes of serum direct bilirubin level for more than one to two months. RESULTS: In study group, cholestasis appeared at a mean age of 23+/-18.8 days after a mean of 21+/-19.7 days of TPN. UDCA was initiated (ranged 15-30 mg/kg/day) at a mean age of 54+/-22.3 days for a mean of 32+/-19.0 days. There was no significant difference in decrease of direct bilirubin level between the study and control group. However, the day of initial enteral feeding and full enteral feeding were earlier in control group compared with study group. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that UDCA treatment is not effective in the treatment of TPN cholestasis among premature infants unlike that of results reported in children and adults. To reduce the incidence of TPN cholestasis in premature infants, early introduction of enteral feeding as soon as possible is most important.

Acral persistent papular mucinosis is a subtype of the localized papular mucinosis. Clinically, ivory to flesh-colored papules develop exclusively on the back of the hands, the extensor surface of the wrists, and occasionally the distal forearms. Histologically, mucin accumulates in the upper reticular dermis, typically sparing a subepidermal zone and fibroblasts are not increased in number. On experiencing a case of numerous papules on both hands and forearms of a fifty year-old woman, we present it as acral persistent papular mucinosis.
