PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data on preventive child abuse program development. METHOD: Data were collected on 105 high-risk families of child abuse intervention was obtained from their main child rearer who raised the child under 18 years, olds during 10 months period from May, 2000 to March 2001. RESULT: The results were as follows : 1. Child abuse occurred in the subject's home, in the case of mild child abuse, 'throwing an object at the child' had the highest percentage 39.1%, in severe child abuse, 'rod, stick, belt, broom beating or using a variety of objects such as' had the highest percentage 49.5%, and in very severe child abuse, 'hospitalized by belting' had the highest percentage 3.8%. 2. The degree of child abuse potential showed high risk child abuse score with a mean of 213.3. The degree of beliefs in corporal punishment showed that subjects perceived corporal punishment of children positively with a mean of 32.2. 3. With respect to the child abuse potential, there were significant correlations with the subjects' age (r=.294, p=.002), education level (r=-.442, p=.000), and family income (r=-.355, p=.000). CONCLUSION: From this study not only child abuse occurrence but also child abuse potential were severely increased in poor livelihood families. Therefore to the high risk group, individual preventive approach must be applied.

PURPOSE: With increasing prevalence of hypertension (HTN) in children and adolescent, pediatricians have become more interested in blood pressure (BP) measurements. The ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is known to be useful to differentiate true HTN and white coat HTN. The object of this study is to assess the clinical usefulness of ABPM in Korean children and adolescents. METHODS: A retrospective review of 51 patients in Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 2002 to February 2010 was done. All patients were 6-18 years old and underwent ABPM. We calculated the mean value of ABP, BP load, nocturnal dip and compared the results with the patients' diagnosis and characteristics. RESULTS: The mean age of the 51 patients was 17.8+/-1.8 years and 19 children were obese. 37 patients (72.5%) were truly hypertensive and 1 patient was diagnosed as masked HTN and 7 children (14%) as white coat HTN. The rest of the patients were normotensive. Among patients with white coat HTN, 5 were in a prehypertensive state. Mean systolic and diastolic BP load of patients with true HTN were significantly higher than non-hypertensive children (P<0.001). Although the nocturnal dip of all patients were below 10%, there was no statistical significance. The obese patients showed higher systolic and diastolic BP. Their systolic and diastolic BP load were significantly higher than non-obese patients (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: ABPM in children and adolescents seems to be a valuable tool in the assessment of white coat HTN and in the confirmation of true HTN. A considerable number of white coat HTN patients are revealed to be in a prehypertensive state and need close follow-up.

Circadian clocks are the endogenous oscillators that harmonize a variety of physiological processes within the body. Although many urinary functions exhibit clear daily or circadian variation in diurnal humans and nocturnal rodents, the precise mechanisms of these variations are as yet unclear. In this review, we briefly introduce circadian clocks and their organization in mammals. We then summarize known daily or circadian variations in urinary function. Importantly, recent findings by others as well as results obtained by us suggest an active role of circadian clock genes in various urinary functions. Finally, we discuss possible research avenues for the circadian control of urinary function.

BACKGROUND: In this study, four types of effervescent vitamins marketed in Korea were analyzed for their acidity and vitamin content. For this purpose, bovine teeth were immersed in vitamin, and surface microhardness and appearance were measured before and after immersion to evaluate tooth demineralization and erosion.METHODS: Bovine permanent incisors with sound surface enamel were cut to 5×5 mm size, embedded in acrylic resin, and polished using a polishing machine with Sic-paper. The prepared samples were analyzed for pH, vitamin content, and surface hardness before and after immersion using a surface microhardness meter. Demineralization of surface dental enamel was observed using a scanning electron microscope.RESULTS: The average pH of the four effervescent vitamins was less than 5.5; the pH of the positive control Oronamin C was the lowest at 2.76, while that of the negative control Samdasoo was the highest at 6.86. The vitamin content was highest in Berocca and lowest in the DM company Multivitamin. On surface microhardness analysis, surface hardness values of all enamel samples were found to be decreased significantly after 1 and 10 minutes of immersion (p<0.05). After 10 minutes of immersion, there was a significant difference in the decrease in hardness between the experimental groups (p<0.05). Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that dental enamel demineralization after 10 minutes of immersion was the most severe in Oronamin C except for Samdasoo, followed by DM company Multivitamin and VitaHEIM. Immersion in BeroNew and Berocca resulted in similar effects.CONCLUSION: There is a risk of tooth erosion due to decreased tooth surface microhardness when using the four types of effervescent vitamins and vitamin carbonated beverages with pH below 5.5. Therefore, high pH vitamin supplements are recommended to prevent tooth erosion.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important complication of diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We investigated the incidence and predictors of the development of CIN in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with renal dysfunction undergoing PCI. METHODS: From January 2005 to June 2010, we evaluated the clinical, laboratory, and angiographic data of 406 patients with ACS who had a serum creatinine > or = 1.3 mg/dL and underwent CAG or PCI. The patients were divided into two groups according to the development of CIN (CIN, n = 92; no CIN, n = 314). RESULTS: Of the 406 patients, 92 (22.7%) developed CIN. The development of CIN was associated with a lower baseline body mass index (p = 0.001), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p < 0.001), decreased creatinine clearance (CrCl) (p < 0.001), lower albumin (p < 0.001), lower hemoglobin (p = 0.003), higher N-terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (p = 0.001), and greater contrast medium volume (CMV) (p = 0.021). On multiple logistic regression analysis, LVEF < 40% (OR, 4.080; 95% CI, 2.087-7.977; p < 0.001), albumin < 3.5 g/dL (OR, 2.042; 95% CI, 1.211-3.440; p = 0.007), and CMV/CrCl > or = 3.5 (OR, 1.964; 95% CI, 1.243-3.101; p = 0.004) were independent predictors of CIN. The cut-off value for CMV/CrCl was 3.5, and that for albumin was 3.55 g/dL. CONCLUSIONS: CIN occurred in 22.7% of the patients with ACS and renal dysfunction who underwent CAG or PCI. Independent predictors of CIN were decreased LVEF, decreased albumin, and increased CMV/CrCl ratio.

The coexistence of carcinoma of the endometrium and ovary of female genital tract are an uncommon event, and it occurred in 5% of the patients with endometrial cancer and 10% of the patients with ovarian cancer. However, most of them are metastatic lesion from one organ and synchronous primary cancers from both organs are rare. In the present case, we experienced a case with simultaneous primary cancers from endometrium and ovary, occurring in 37-year-old woman presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Preoperative endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial carcinoma, and magnetic resonance imaging showed both ovarian lesion, which is suspicious of malignancy. Intraoperative and histological finding showed stage Ib endometrioid endometrial carcinoma and stage IIIc mucinous adenocarcinoma of both ovary, and we present this case with a brief review of reference.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To analyze the clinical effects of continuing to smoke in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), clinical outcomes of those continuing or ceasing smoking were compared. METHODS: In total, 498 patients with AMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January to December 2007 were enrolled. Of these patients, 407 (63.9 +/- 11.9 years, males 70%) with 1-year follow-ups were analyzed. Based on risk factors for smoking, patients were divided into two groups: Group I (smokers, n = 164, 57.9 +/- 11.2 years) and Group II (nonsmokers, n = 243, 68.0 +/- 10.6 years). Additionally, Group I patients were subdivided by cessation of smoking after discharge: Group IA (current smokers, n = 95, 56.8 +/- 10.5 years) and IB (past smokers, n = 69, 59.4 +/- 12.0 years). Clinical characteristics, coronary angiographic and procedural findings, and 1year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were analyzed. RESULTS: During the 1-year follow-up period, MACE developed in 112 patients (27.6%) and death in 42 patients (10.3%). In terms of smoking habits at admission, there was no significant difference in the 1-year MACE between current smokers (Group I) and nonsmokers (Group II). In the subgroup analysis, there were no significant difference in clinical characteristics between Groups IA and IB. Mortality was significantly higher in Group IA than in Group IB during the 1-year clinical follow-up (11% vs. 0%; p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Of the AMI patients who underwent PCI, mortality was significantly higher in current smokers than in past smokers after PCI.
