PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of a health education program to improve knowledge about environmental health and allergy symptoms among elementary school students. METHODS: This study has nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. Participants of this study were 60 elementary students (30 experimental and 30 control) who agreed to participate in the study. The education program consisted of information on environmental health and allergies, the atmosphere, indoor environments, food and allergies, and activities with parents. The program was carried out one time (50 minutes) per week during 6 weeks. Knowledge and symptoms of allergies were recorded before and after the program among both groups. The collected data were analyzed by ANCOVA and t-test using SAS program. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in knowledge about allergies in the experimental group compared to the control group, but allergic symptoms were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that environmental health education programs are effective in the area of school health nursing for increasing knowledge about environmental health and allergies. Further research is needed to develop programs for reducing allergic symptoms as an environment health problem among children.

Fatal complications including cerebral edema and neurologic collapse occur during treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA). A 6-week-old female infant with fever, dehydration and drowsy mental status was diagnosed as DKA and neurologically deteriorated during treatment. The cranial computed tomography scan revealed multifocal brain infarctions of the left caudate nucleus, bilateral frontal periventricular white matter, and right parietal cortex. A moderate amount of hemorrhage was also noted in both lateral ventricles. She recovered rapidly with supportive treatment over time. The clinical course and radiologic findings of this patient emphasize the importance of brain infarction as a cause of persistent neurologic loss in children with DKA.

PURPOSE: To report a case of temporal hemianopsia of a healthy eye occurring in the contralateral silicone oil-filled eye due to migration of silicone oil into the optic chiasm and lateral ventricle. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old man visited our clinic with temporal hemianopsia for 10 days in the left eye. Three months before, the patient had presented with decreased vision and ocular pain in the right eye as well as a headache. The patient underwent vitrectomy at another hospital for the management of retinal detachment occurring in the right eye 8 years earlier. In addition, for recurred retinal detachment, reoperations were performed twice with silicone oil injection. Funduscopy revealed findings such as glaucomatous optic disc and an intraocular pressure of 54 mmHg in the right eye. On visual field examination, the temporal hemianopsia was detected in the left eye. Under the suspicion of cerebral lesions, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was performed. On the right side of the optic chiasm and the suprasellar region, materials were present whose signal intensity was identical to silicone oil in the right vitreal cavity. During a follow-up, the migration of silicone oil into the lateral ventricle and the alteration of its location with the positional change were observed. CONCLUSIONS: In a patient who received silicone oil injection following vitrectomy, the silicone oil migrated to the optic chiasm and induced the occurrence of visual field defect in the contralateral eye. The visual field defect improved because of the migration into the lateral ventricle.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of allergic disease among elementary school students in rural and urban areas. METHODS: In this study, 1,513 elementary students (1,163 in urban areas, 350 in rural areas) were surveyed. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage of allergic symptoms and chi2 test was used to identify differences in the prevalence of allergic symptoms between urban and rural area students. The SAS program was used in the data analysis. RESULTS: There were significant differences in the prevalence of allergic disease according to whether there was a family member with a prior history of allergy symptoms. 48.7% of surveyed students (49.4% in urban, 46.3% in rural) had allergic symptoms. Allergic rhinitis was the most frequent allergic symptom in both urban and rural students. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that there is a need to prevent and manage allergies among elementary students. The family history should be considered an important factor when a program for allergy prevention and management is developed. Interventions are needed in both areas, especially for students with allergic rhinitis.

Acupuncture appears to be a clinically effective treatment for acute and chronic pain. A considerable amount of research has been conducted to evaluate the role that acupuncture plays in pain suppression; however, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the side effects of the acupuncture procedure. This case report describes a suspected postdural puncture headache following acupuncture for lower back pain. Considering the high opening pressure, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and the patient's history of acupuncture in the lower back area, our diagnosis was iatrogenic postdural puncture headache. Full relief of the headache was achieved after administration of an epidural blood patch.

Neurofibroma is a relatively common neurogenic tumor originating from schwann cells or fibroblasts in peripheral nerve sheaths. It is classified as solitary or multiple. Solitary lesions are not usually associated with neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen's disease. We report a case of solitary neurofibroma occurred in the right external auditory canal (EAC) in a 30-year-old male who complained of progressive hearing loss and earfullness for 5 years. This diffuse painless mass displaced the auricle laterally and obstructed EAC completely. The lesion was partially excised by retroauricular approach and diagnosed as neurofibroma. This patient does not have any other evidences of neurofibromatosis. A complete excision in this case was not mandatory as malignant change is rare; moreover, it would require extensive resection of periauricular skin, subcutaneous tissue, cartilaginous ear canal and temporalis muscle, followed by reconstruction. We present the clinical characteristics and therapeutic methods of a solitary neurofibroma originating from EAC.

PURPOSE: To analyze the effects of various amount of peripheral defect of the acetabulum in terms of the stability of the acetabular cup with screw fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The porous coated acetabular cup of Trilogy was press-fitted with 3 screw fixations after 2 mm undersized reaming into the distal part of 100 bovine femurs, but with insufficient peripheral coverage of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. The micromotions of the acetabular cups were measured under the axial loads of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 Kp, and torques were measured at 1degrees to 5degrees of cup rotation under applied rotational force in 10 specimens in each of five groups. RESULTS: The micromotion between the cup and bone interface increased proportionally with peripheral coverage insufficiency and the torque values in the five groups increased in proportion to the rotation degree and were inversely proportinal peripheral coverage insufficiency. CONCLUSION: 15% or less coverage insufficiency of the acetabular cup may be acceptable as the average micromotion is less than 150micrometa and compatible with biologic fixations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The polysomnography is essential for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) and provides important objective information. But, in fact, there are some difficulties for comprehensive interpretation of multiple indices from the polysomnogram. This study was designed to find out which polysomnogram indices were significant to respiratory distress indices (RDI) and apnea index (AI) on statistical correlation and which other indices should be considered together for proper management plan apart from RDI and AI (respiratory index). SUBJECTS AND METHOD: We evaluated 40 patients whose RDI were over 5 as the result of overnight polysomnography before any management from February 2003 to September 2003 at Eulji medical center. By multiple linear regression analysis, we studied the relationship of RDI and AI as dependent variables to ST, O2 desaturation events (O2DE), lowest O2 saturation (LoO2), slow wave sleep portion (S3&S4), arousal index (ArI), body-mass index (BMI) and age. We also studied the relationship of ST as an dependent variable to O2DE, LoO2, S3&S4, ArI, BMI, and age. RESULTS: 1) There were significant correlations between RDI and O2DE, ArI as was true between AI and O2DE, ArI (p<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the degree of the correlation between RDI and AI. 2) Other variables such as ST, LoO2, S3&S4, BMI and age were not significant. 3) ST had no significant correlation with respiratory index and any other variables (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Because the respiratory index may not the entire physical status during sleep for OSAH patients, multiple indices (such as LoO2, BMI, ST, S3&S4, age) should be considered together apart from the respiratory index for proper management plan.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes of axial length (AXL) in eyes with unilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after resolution of serous retinal detachment. METHODS: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral CSC were included in this study. The changes of AXL according to serous retinal detachment were examined. The keratometric value and AXL were measured using partial coherence interferometry. Serous retinal detachment and central macular thickness (CMT) were measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: The mean age of the 31 CSC patients, including 19 males, was 42.7 years. The AXL was significantly increased from 23.41 to 23.58 mm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The CMT was significantly decreased from 413.4 to 226.8 µm after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). The differences in AXL correlated with CMT differences and subretinal fluid height (r = −0.616, p < 0.001 and r = −0.637, p < 0.001, respectively), and the best-corrected visual acuity was significantly different after resolution of serous retinal detachment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In unilateral idiopathic CSC with serous retinal detachment, a shortened AXL in the acute phase was restored after resolution of serous retinal detachment.
