Purpose:
Obesity is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease.We aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery for hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in Korean patients.
Methods:
A total of 32 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. Hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis were assessed before surgery and 6 months after surgery using transient elastography and serologic panels.
Results:
Thirteen patients (40.6%) were male and 19 (59.4%) were female, with a mean age of 39.3 ± 11.3 years. The body mass index was significant at the 6th month: 39.1 ± 6.7 and 30.3 ± 4.7 kg/m2 (P < 0.001), respectively. The mean preoperative controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness measurement values were 325.4 ± 55.9 dB/m and 7.4 ± 4.8 kPa, respectively, before surgery, and they decreased to 267.1 ± 45.1 dB/m and 5.3 ± 2.3 kPa, respectively, 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion
These results suggest that bariatric surgery is associated with a significant improvement in liver steatosis and fibrosis. Bariatric surgery has a beneficial effect on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with morbid obesity in Korea.

We tried to correlate brain CT findings with clinical state at admission and outcome at discharge in 42 selected cases from 94 adult patients under the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis at Seoul National University Hospital during last four years from 1981. Their clinical state at admission and outcome at discharge were classified into three groups by severity of symptoms, respectively. The final outcome of them were well correlated with their clinical states at admission. Observed abnormal brain CT findings in this series were hydrocephalus (74%), dirthy cisternal enhancement (52%), infraction (38%), periventricular low density (36%), and tuberculoma (19%). The poorer the clinical state at admission and outcome at discharge, the more frequent the abnormal brain CT findings, especially of periventricular low density and infraction. But periventricular low density without infarction seemed to affect more deleterious effect on clinical state at admission than on final outcome.

Epidermoid cysts occur rarely on the palms and soles, where hair is not present. These cysts have long been assumed to arise from traumatic implantation of epidermal fragment, but the pathogenesis is still controversial. Recently, with microscopic findings, immunohistochemical features, and molecular studies, the epidermoid cysts of the sole may be induced by the human papillomavirus. We report two cases of epidermoid cysts of the sole with the discussion of the pathogenesis.
