PURPOSE: To analyse the risk factors for recurrence of hemangiomas in extremities after surgical treatment and to compare with those of trunk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 120 cases of hemangioma with surgical treatments from June 1998 to September 2009 were analysed. 53 cases with surgical treatment on trunk in the same period were set to be the control group. We analyze several factors: age, location, site, size, histologic types and correlation between recurrence and each risk factor using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Recurrence rate was 11.7% in extremities and 9.4% in trunk. There were no correlation between recurrence and age, site, size, histologic type. But, there was stastically significant correlation between recurrence rate and location, especially hand, forearm, feet in extremities and head and neck in trunk. CONCLUSION: Recurrence after surgical treatment of hemangioma is highly prevalent in anatomical location such as, hand, foot and forearm those are difficult to achieve complete resection because of close to neurovascular structures. Careful observation should be needed owing to incomplete resection can occurs recurrence.

Primary ovarian pregnancy is comparatively rare in ectopic pregnancy. Ovarian pregnancy occurs in corpus luteum cyst and is usually accompanied with the rupture of ovary and a massive hemoperitoneum. It presents as a hemorrhagic ovary and frequently misdiagnosed as a ruptured corpus luteum. Spiegelberg's criteria should be fulfilled for the diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy. Two cases of ovarian pregnancy were presented with a brief review of the literatures.

Hydrocephalus refers to distension of the cerebral ventricles, usually as the result of obstruction somewhere along the pathway of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Hydrocephalus ex vacuo means ventricular enlargement in the presence of cerebral atrophy or irreversible loss of brain parenchyma. According to morphologic change of ventricular enlargement, the mechanism and results of treatment are quite different. MRI improves diagnostic accuracy in patients with hydrocephalus because of its ability to show small obstructing lesion and anatomical changes. To evaluate differential points, we compared patients with obstructive hydrocephalus and non-obstructive hydrocephalus. T1-weighted sagittal images were retrospectively analyzed in 19 patients with obstructive hydrocephalus, 22 non-obstructive hydrocephalus, and 36 normal subjects. On midsagittal section, we evaluated mamillopontine distance, thickness and shape and position of the corpus callosum, and antero-inferior portion of the 3rd ventricle. The average mamillopontine distance was 11.5mm for normal subjects, 8.2mm for obstructive hydrocephalus group, and 13.6mm for non-obstructive hydrocephalus group(p < 0.01). Dilatation of the anterior inferior portion of the 3rd ventricle was seen only in 11 patients of obstructive hydrocephalus group. Average thickness of the corpus callosum at the level of the foramen of Monro was 7.5mm for normal subjects, 5.1mm for obstructive hydrocephalus group, and 4.4mm for non-obstructive hydrocephalus group(p < 0.01). There was a difference in the shape of corpus callosum between obstructive hydrocephalus and non-obstructive hydrocephalus group. It is concluded that mamillopontine distance, thickness and shape of the corpus callosum, dilatation of the antero-inferior 3rd ventricle could be good differential points between obstructive hydrocephalus and non-obstructive hydrocephalus.

Rhabdomyosarcoma originating from the chest wall is a rare malignant tumor in children and was considered to be guarded in prognosis previously. However, recent advances in multidisciplinary treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma in children have improved the disease free survival rate. Authors report a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, stage III, originating from the chest wall who is surviving free of disease for 15 months with aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The gastric polyps may be premalignant lesions and they should be removed as possible. The gastric polyps can be remoued by various endoscopic methods. The safety and therapeutic effectiveness of snare polypectomy, neodymium YAG laser therapy and electrocutery were compared in a total number of 106 patients who were diagnosed as benign polyps by means of endoscopic biopsy.Safety was evaluated by the rate of complications such as perforation and bleeding, and therapeutic effectiveness was evaluated by the average numbers of treatment session of each modality. Average numbers of treatment session of snare polypectomy, laser therapy and electrocautery were 1.04, 1.38 and l.44, respectively. Average numbers of treatment session of snare polypectomy were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those of other two methods. Perforation was not occurred in any group. Bleeding rates after snare polypectomy, laser therapy and electrocautery were 17.4%, 1.0% and 3.8%, respectively. Bleeding was significantly (p<0,05) more frequent after snare polypectomy than after other two methods. In conclusion therapeutic effectiveness was best in snare polypectomy but complication was most frequent after snare polypectomy. There was no difference between laser therapy and electrocautery for therapeutic effectiveness and safety. Therfore, laser therapy and electrocautery caa be used for the removal of flat adenoma, alternatively.

OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to estimate the incidence rate, and to identify the risk factors for the occupational low back pain among shipyard workers. METHODS: The study subjects consisted of 9,784 workers who were employed in a ship-building industry(excluded workers who had a history of low pack pain before 1995 or did not take periodic health examination in 1995). The cases were 220 people who experienced back pain from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1998. To assess risk factors for occupational low back pain, Cox propotional hazard model was used. RESULTS: During the recent three years from 1996 to 1998, the incidence rate per 1,000 persons was 7. 8 in 1996, 8. 8 in 1997, and 3. 1 in 1998. The main causes of work-related low back pain were sprain, strain and disc herniation. Lifting was the most common cause of back pain(35. 3%), and carrying(10.2%) and pulling(8.0%) were followed. In Cox proportional harzard model, independent risk factors for back pain were body mass index(R.R.; 1.54, 959o C.I.: 1.06-2.25), shift work(R.R.; 1.65, 95% C.I.: 1.19-2.28), and lifting heavy material(R.R. ; 3.95, 95% C.I: 2.29-6.82). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the risk factors of back pain in shipyard workers were body mass index, shift work and lifting.
