Defect of the radius should be managed with either fusion of radius and ulna forming “one-bone forearm”, or restoration of its continuity by bone graft. Reported hereia are two cases in which the radius developed defect following sequestrectomy and treatment of open infected fructure respectively. Reconstruction of the radius was tried with bone graft; utilizing the ulnar end resected from the same side in one case and fibula in other. Both Sowed sound bony union of the graft about four months postoperatively.

BACKGROUND: Herpes zoster(HZ), caused by reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus, is manifested by dermatomal distribution of skin rashes, acute pain and post-herpetic neuralgia by pathologic involvement of the sensory ganglia. Low-energy laser(LEL) deliver a small amount of energy without elevation of the tissue temperature. LEL is reported to have various biologic effects such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerative, antiallergic, immunocorrective, and antibacterial effects. OBJECTIVE: We attempted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of LEL on an acute phase of HZ. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with acute HZ were enrolled in the study. The control group(30 patients) received medications including analgesics, antihistamine, and topical care without LEL irradiation. The experimental group(30 patients) were irradiated with LEL daily for 7 days in addition to the same kinds of medications for the control group. The efficacy of LEL irradiation for HZ was assessed by analyzing changes in skin rashes, pain scores, and postherpetic neuralgia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preterm labor & preterm infants care in Kwangju and Chonam. METHODS: A study was conducted for 2,360 newborns who were born at four main hospitals in Kwangju and chonam from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1997. Data were collected by review of hospital records. RESULTS: 1. The survival rate was 6.90% at 23~34 weeks, 38.60% at 27~28weeks and 90.67% after 31wks. 2. The survival rate divided according to birth weight were 8.89% below 1,000gm, 57.14% in 1,001~1,500gm, 86.75% in 1,501~2,000gm and 93.37% over 2,000gm respectively. 3. Clinical causes of neonatal death were RDS(48.84%) hyperbilirubinemia (20.74%), sepsis(11.95%) and pneumonia(9.67%). 4. Incidence of RDS was 23.22% and it's neonatal mortality was 36.28%. CONCLUSION: The survival rate of preterm birth in Kwang-Ju and Chon-nam was still lower than data from advancing countries, and main cause of neonatal death was respiratory distress syndrome.

BACKGROUND: The goal of preoperative screening test is to reduce the perioperative morbidity by patients management in case of abnormal test results. But, in view of the low incidence of perioperative complication in otherwise healthy surgical population and cost of routine preoperative screening tests, further examination of their usefulness is required. METHODS: The charts of 1968 patients performed preoperative screening laboratory tests were reviewed to analyse the results of tests retrospectively. The preoperative screening laboratory tests are hemoglobin, platelet count, bleeding time, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, chest X-ray, electrocardiography (ECG), liver function test (LFT), urinalysis, BUN and creatinine. In cases of abnormal results obtained, further studies (pulmonary function test (PFT), arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA), 2D- echocardiography, holter ECG, coronary angiography and abdominal sonography) were analysed. RESULTS: The incidence of abnormal results of total preoperative screening test is 4.5%. The incidence of abnormal results of ECG, chest X-ray, LFT, hemoglobin, and others are 8.3%, 7.8%, 3.7%, 2% and less than 1% in order. For further study, PFT was done in 58 patients, ABGA in 72 patients, 2D-echocardiography in 96 patients, and Holter ECG in 6 patients. CONCLUSION: This study has shown that routine preoperative laboratory screening tests provided little information. Therefore, further studies would be necessary to evaluate the cost-benefit of preoperative screening test compared with the other methods such as history taking and physical examinations that is needed little cost.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate US and CT features of choroidal osteoma. MATERIALS AND METHDOS: US and CT scans of seven cases of choroidal osteoma occurring in six patients were retrospectively analyzed. We analysed US and CT findings with particular attention to the location, size, and shape of calcification associated with choroidal osteoma, and sought the possible cause of the tumor, if any. RESULTS: None of six patients had any possible cause related to choroidal osteoma. All of seven cases of choroidal osteoma were manifested as calcified mass which were located in the posterior wall of the eyeball near the juxtapapillary region. Calcification ranged in size from 1 to 2 cm and had curvilinear shape. Both US and CT were equally useful to evaluate choroidal osteoma. CONCLUSION: By depicting the characteristic calcification, US and CT are useful imaging modalities in evaluating choroidal osteoma.

OBJECTIVES: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a serious and sometimes irreversible adverse effect that may develop during long-term antipsychotics treatment. Previous studies have suggested that brain serotonergic systems are related to TD vulnerability and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin. This study aimed to investigate the association between TPH2 gene -703G/T polymorphism (rs4570625) and antipsychotic-induced TD in the Korean schizophrenia patients. METHODS: We investigated whether TPH2 gene -703G/T polymorphism is associated with antipsychotic-induced TD in 280 Korean schizophrenia patients. The subjects with TD (n=105) and without TD (n=175) were matched for antipsychotic drug exposure and other relevant variables. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the distribution of genotypic (chi2=3.00, p=0.223) and allelic (chi2=0.19, p=0.661) frequencies between patients group with TD and without TD. There was no significant difference in total Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale score (F=1.95, p=0.362) among the genotype groups, either. CONCLUSIONS: The present study does not support that TPH2 gene -703G/T polymorphism is involved in TD of the Korean schizophrenia subjects.
