2.The Change of Anti-HBs Titer after Injection of HBIG and HBV in Newborn Delivered from HBsAg Carrier Mothers.
Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1997;40(8):1141-1148
PURPOSE: We studied prevention effects of vertical transmission of Hepatitis B with follow-up, through the change of Anti-HBs titers during 9 months after injection of Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and Hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) at birth in newborn delivered from Hepatitis antigen carrier mothers. METHODS: This study was performed on newborn delivered from HBsAg carrier mothers at Hae Sung Hospital from Feb. 1995 to May 1996. These newborn were injected intramuscularly with HBV and HBIG after evaluation of HBsAg and Anti-HBs titer directly at birth. Regular Hepatitis vaccination was given at 1 month, 6 months as well as HBsAg and Anti-HBs titer were evaluated at 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months. RESULTS: The incidence of Hepatitis B carrier mothers is 5.6%, and newborn babies born to HBsAg carrier mothers showed HBsAg in 10.6%. In most newborn, Anti-HBs titer maintained in 100-1,000mIU/ml after injection of HBIG and HBV at birth, and mean Anti-HBs titer decreased a little at 1 month, but therafter increased gradually by regular Hepatitis vaccination. HBsAg positive newborn maintained mean HBsAg titers below 2 (S/N) until 9 months old after injection of HBIG and HBV. CONCLUSIONS: A screening test for Hepatitis B must be performed on all pregnant women, and that infants of Hepatitis B carrier mothers must be immunized by HBIG and HBV directly at birth.

3.Kinematic Analysis of Lower Extremity Joint Movements during Sidestep at Different Sidestep Speeds.
The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine 2016;34(1):57-64
The purpose of this study were to examine the effects of the speed of sidestep in a specific direction on the kinematic variables of the lower extremities and to provide basic information on sidestep. The subjects of this study were eight students at Hanseo University who did not have a problem in lower extremity alignment. Biomechanical data were collected using a motion analysis system and force plate and Kruskal-Wallis test was performed in order to test differences according to speed. The results of this study were as follow. First, as to hip joint angle according to speed, when the speed increased, in the sagittal view, the maximum flexion angle decreased, the range of motion (ROM) decreased, and the flexion angle at the highest ground reaction force decreased, and in the transverse view, the internal rotation angle at the highest ground reaction force increased. Second, as to knee joint angle according to speed, when the speed increased, in the sagittal view, the maximum flexion angle decreased, the ROM decreased, and the flexion angle at the highest ground reaction force decreased, and in the coronal view, the maximum varus angle decreased, and the ROM decreased. Third, as to ankle joint angle according to speed, when the speed increased, in the sagittal view, the ROM decreased, and the dorsiflexion angle at the highest ground reaction force decreased, and in the coronal view, the minimum inversion angle increased. This suggests that high-speed sidestep during a game increases the risk of injury and degenerative arthritis among athletes.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of Anti-TNF-alpha (infliximab, Remicade(R), Shering-Plough) on refractory uveitis. METHODS: A retrospective observational survey was conducted on 12 eyes of 10 patients with refractory uveitis. These patients had no response to immunosuppresants or systemic steroid therapy and were intolerable due to drug toxicity. After an intravenous injection of Anti-TNF-alpha, best corrected visulal acuity was measured. Improvement in inflammation was then observed at the first, third and last month of follow-up. RESULTS: Patients were observed for a mean period of 15 months. They received anti-TNF-alpha intravenously, ranging from one to eleven infusions. After infusion with Anti-TNF-alpha, remission of intraocular inflammation was evident in all patients within 9.7 days. Best corrected visual acuity also improved at the first, third, and last month of follow-up. Two patients were infected by tuberculosis and mumps respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There was an effect on refractory uveitis with anti-TNF-alpha therapy. Many participants may also require further evaluation after treatment.

PURPOSE: To establish the CT findings and clinical characteristics of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The CT features of 26 surgically proven cases of colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma were reviewed. The subjects were selected from among 262 patients with colorectal cancer, of whom 40 with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma were included as a control group. Contrast-enhaneed CT images were analyzed for tumor location, the presence or absence of tumoral calcification, tumor shape (circumferential or eccentric, polypoid or infiltrative), tumor thickness-to-length ratio, and attenuation and homogeneity. In each group, the TNM stage of pathologic specimens was compared. During follow-up, the incidence of recurrence, and outcome, were also compared. RESULTS: CT images of mucinous adenocarcinoma revealed intratumoral calcification in three patients (12%, p < 0.01). Tumors were eccentric and polypoid-shaped, with a high tumoral thickness/length ratio (p < 0.01). On contrast-enhanced images, most were seen as a heterogenous hypoattenvuted mass. No differences in T-NM stage were found in surgical specimens. In patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma, recurrence during the early follow-up period is more common than in patients with non-mucinous cancer. CONCLUSION: Contrast-enhanced CT reveals mucinous adenocarcinoma as an eccentric polypoid mass with heterogeneous hypoattenuation. In patients with mucinous colorectal cancer, careful follow-up is required because tumors tend to recur early in the follow-up period.

BACKGROUND: Pleural eosinophilia is rare and commonly considered to be an indicator of good prognosis. The diagnostic significance of eosinophilic pleural effusions remains controversial despite a century of observation and discussion. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of eosinophilia in 446 consecutive samples of pleural fluid, to review the cause of eosinophilic pleural effusion and to determine whether the presence of eosinophils increases the likehood of benign conditions. METHOD: A retrospective analysis was performed upon patients that underwent first thoracentesis due to pleural effusion between January 1999 and December 1999. RESULTS: Eosinophilic pleural effusions were identified in 24 of the 446 patients (5.4%). Malignancy, parapneumonic effusion and tuberculosis were determined the major causes of pleural effusion (80.6%). Malignancy was diagnosed as frequently in eosinophilic effusions as in non-eosinophilic effusions (54.2% vs 50.5%, p=0.725). No difference was found in the prevalence of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic effusion according to the etiology. The mean blood eosinophil ratio in patients with eosinophilic pleural effusion was 5.4% and no significant correlation existed between the blood and pleural eosinophilic count. CONCLUSION: Pleural eosinophilia is not helpful for differentiating benign and malignant etiology and is not related with blood eosinophilia or repeated tapping.

PURPOSE: Breast surgeons usually insert tissue expander or implant beneath the subpectoral-subcutaneous dual plane in breast reconstruction. But sometimes it happens unsatisfactory lower pole fullness, asymmetric inframammary fold and breast shape. To solve all the problem like these, we introduce implant breast reconstruction using AlloDerm sling. METHODS: The AlloDerm sling was used in 13 patients and 18 breasts for implant breast reconstruction. After mastectomy, costal and lower sternal insertion of pectoralis major muscle was detached. Rehydrated AlloDerm was sutured to the chest wall and serratus anterior fascia at the level of inframammary fold downward and to lower border of the pectoralis major muscle upward like crescent shape with tension free technique after implant insertion into the subpectoral-subAlloDerm dual pocket. And we evaluate subpectoral capsule and subAlloDerm capsule histologically for the capsular thickness, amount of myofibroblast and TGF-beta expression. RESULTS: We make satisfactory lower pole fullness, symmetric inframammary fold and breast shape using AlloDerm sling. SubAlloDerm capsule was thin than subpectoral capsule. SubAlloDerm capsule have fewer myofibroblast and lower TGF-beta expression than subpectoral capsule. CONCLUSION: Implant breast reconstruction using AlloDerm sling makes easy to get natural breast shape through satisfactory lower pole fullness, symmetric inframammary fold and implant positioning.

A pyogeinc granuloma, also known as a lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular tumor of the skin and mucous membranes, which is common in infants and children. It usually presents as a rapidly evolving solitary, sessile, or polypoid vascular nodule. An intravenous pyogenic granuloma (IVPG) is a rare form of pyogenic granuloma, in which the whole lesion appears as a single polypoid mass projecting into the lumen of a vein. All reported cases of IVPG have been limited the head, neck, and upper extremity. We report a case of an intravenous pyogenic granuloma located within the iliac vein of a lower extremity.
