A total of 542 children under 10 years of age, admitted to the Seoul National University Children's Hospital, was examined for antibody titers of Toxoplasma gondii using indirect latex agglutination (ILA) test. Among them, 7.7% showed positive titers higher than 1:32, without significant difference between males (7.3%) and females (8.5%). The seropositive rate increased with age although the statistical significance was negligible (0.05 < P < 0.1). By residential areas, the prevalence appeared higher among children from southern provinces (Kyongsang-do and Cholla do) than those from other areas, but the statistical significance was also very low (0.05 < P < 0.1). When the seropositive cases were analyzed by coincidental diseases, the prevalence was significantly higher in patients with congenital diseases than in patients with non-congenital diseases (P < 0.05). The results showed that the seropositive rate of toxoplasmosis in children examined was not high compared with other endemic countries. Some correlations are suggested between toxoplasmosis and congenital anomalies in Korea.

Coarctation of the aorta is frequently associated with intracardiac disease. It is very difficult to decide on the best method for surgically treating adult patients with these combined heart diseases. We performed single-stage repair via a modified Bentall operation and by creating an intrapericardial ascending-descending aortic bypass through a median sternotomy in a patient with coarctation of the aorta and annuloaortic ectasia, and the latter was associated with aortic valve regurgitation.

PURPOSE: Recent and numerous studies have indicated that cardiac biomarker elevation during acute pulmonary embolism (PE) predicts in-hospital death. However, the role of cardiac biomarkers for predicting the occurrence of hypotension is unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether increased levels of cardiac biomarkers can predict the occurrence of hypotension (sytolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg) within 24 hours in non-high-risk patients with acute PE. METHODS: Study subjects included all consecutive patients with acute PE, as diagnosed by chest computed tomographic angiography, in the emergency department (ED) from January 2009 through December 2011. All patients underwent tests for troponinI (TnI), creatinine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels upon ED admission and were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of hypotension within 24 hours. RESULTS: Out of 196 stable patients with acute PE admitted to the ED during the study period, 154 patients were included. Within 24 hours of hospitalization, 13 (8.4%) patients developed hypotension. The mean values for serum TnI, CK-MB, and BNP were significantly higher in patients who developed hypotension than in patients who did not. The TnI value was the most accurate biomarker for predicting the occurrence of hypotension. Moreover, elevated levels of cTnI (>0.05 ng/mL) upon admission were an independent predictor for developing hypotension within 24 hours in patients with stable acute PE at the time of ED admission (odds ratio 11.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.8-43.8, p=0.00). CONCLUSION: In stable patients with acute PE, an elevated TnI can predict the in-hospital development of hypotension within 24 hours. This finding is valuable for selecting patients who might benefit from intensive clinical surveillance and escalated treatment.

OBJECTIVE: This study is a follow-up of a first survey of 200 North Korean defectors who entered South Korea in 2001. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the current prevalence of partial PTSD and full PTSD after 3 years and to evaluate related factors. METHODS: This study followed up on 151 of the 200 North Korean defectors from our first survey. 20 interviewers conducted face-to-face interviews and assisted defectors in completing a self-report assessment. The traumatic events which participants with chronic PTSD and delayed onset PTSD experienced were then examined. RESULTS: Over the 3 years, the current prevalence rate of partial PTSD was reduced from 31.8% to 5.3%, and the current prevalence rate of full PTSD was reduced from 27.2% to 4.0%. Of particular interest was that 88.8% of those diagnosed with full or partial PTSD in the first survey had recovered after 3 years. CONCLUSION: The current prevalence rate of partial and full PTSD rapidly decreased during 3 years.
