OBJECTIVES: As a preliminary study on the prevalence of mental disorders in Korean children and adolescents, we investigated the diagnosis distribution of mental disorders in people under 19 years of age using the health insurance data. METHODS: From the 2011 health insurance data of 1,375,842 people, the data of 286,465 people under 19 years old were extracted. Among them, we selected 10,778 with psychiatric diagnoses; male 6,453 (59.9%) and female 4,325 (40.1%). The frequency of psychiatric diagnoses in the males was 10,140 (62.7%) cases, which was significantly higher than that (6,031; 37.3%) in the females. We categorized the groups into 3 year intervals. RESULTS: In the males under 3 years old, F80 was the most prevalent diagnosis, followed by F98. F90 and F41 were the most prevalent in the 4-15 and above 16 years old groups, respectively. In the females, F98 was the most prevalent in the children up to 3 years old, while F80 was the second most prevalent. In the 4-6 years of age group, F98 was the most prevalent, followed by F93. F90 and F41 were predominant in the 7-12 and above 12 years old groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: In the analysis of the frequency of diagnosis of mental disorders in the population under 19 years old, there were significant differences in the distribution based on age and gender.

PURPOSE: We report our initial experience with hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) and compare it to our results with open donor nephrectomy (ODN). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the medical records of consecutive, renal, living donor-recipient pairs, 60 HALDN patients were compared with 19 ODN patients. In addition, the HALDN group was divided into two groups, initial HALDNs (n=20) and late HALDNs (n=40), for consideration of the surgeons' learning curve. RESULTS: Except 1 case of open conversion, 59 patients underwent HALDN successfully. Mean operation times were 202, 255, and 201 minutes for ODNs, initial HALDNs, and late HALDNs respectively. Mean warm ischemic time decreased from 4.5 minutes in the initial HALDNs to 3.1 minutes in the late HALDNs. Major intraoperative complications included 1 transfusion in the ODNs, 1 open conversion and 1 transfusion in the initial HALDNs, but none in the late HALDNs. Mean hospital stay decreased from 6.4 days in the ODNs to 4.6 and 3.8 days in the initial and late HALDNs, respectively. Mean analgesic use decreased from 403mg and 323mg in ODNs and initial HALDNs, respectively, to 219mg in late HALDNs. Serum creatinine levels of the recipients on post operation days 7 and 30 showed no differences among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: All but one, HALDNs resulted in a safe donor operation with a kidney of excellent quality. The length of hospital stay and postoperative analgesic use were decreased. The cosmetic result was enhanced. Additionally, the number of living donors can be potentially increased.

Fetal bilateral renal agenesis is a lethal congenital anomaly. An early and reliable prenatal diagnosis is extremely important as it may offer options for pregnancy termination as early as possible. The criteria for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of bilateral renal agenesis are severe oligohydramnios, nonvisualization of the bladder, and the empty renal fossae. However, severe oligohydramnios makes it difficult to diagnose the disease because of poor sonographic resolution. We present a case of fetal bilateral renal agenesis diagnosed by ultrasonography after amnioinfusion at 19 weeks gestation.

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare, benign adnexal neoplasm of eccrine differentiation. It is typically located on the limbs and presents as a plaque or a solitary hyperkeratotic nodule in an adult. However, there are several clinical subtypes, ranging from a solitary papule or nodule to multiple lesions with linear or diffuse distribution. Despite the diverse clinical presentation, ESFA is histologically similar. It commonly shows proliferation of anastomosing cords and strands of cuboidal epithelial cells with or without lumina embedded in a fibrovascular stroma. Herein, we report an unusual case of ESFA with verrucous surfaced plaque present on the scalp since birth in a 22-year-old man.

BACKGROUND: Although several traditional treatments have been applied for recalcitrant viral warts, these treatments have rarely resulted in complete recovery. To treat the recalcitrant viral wart, alternative therapies are required. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadrivalent HPV vaccine for recalcitrant wart treatment. METHODS: From 2012 to 2014, 17 patients who provided informed consent were enrolled. All patients received 3 doses of quadrivalent HPV vaccine at 0, 2, and 6 months, respectively. During clinic visits, doctors checked the grade of improvement, patient satisfaction, and treatment side effects. After completion of the 3 doses, the patients were followed up for 5 months with outpatient visits and telephone inquiries. RESULTS: After the third dose, 58.8% of patients showed complete remission and 41.2% showed no response after 5 months. There were no statistically significant differences in sex, age, disease duration, number, anatomic site, and previous treatment between the complete remission group and the no-response group. An adverse effect (syncope) was observed in one patient. CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional aggressive therapies, quadrivalent HPV vaccine is a simple method and does not usually interfere with the patient's work or social life. Quadrivalent HPV vaccine is an effective and safe alternative treatment for recalcitrant warts.
