In general, satisfactory results can be obtained by nonoperative means in the management of proximal femoral shaft fracture in children. Howerver, it is sometimes difficult to maintain the fracture alignment by the nonoperative means because of different muscle pulls in the thigh. The proximal fragment tend to be displaced and roentgenograms are difficult to be taken during traction. These problems have led some authors to advocate open reduction and internal fixation which facilitate overall care. We report our experiences on nonoperative and.operative treatment for proximal femoral fracture at the Chon-ju Presbyterian Medical Center from February 1987 to January 1991. The results are as follows ; 1. There were 20 cases in male, 7 cases in female. Average age at injury was 6.9 years (range, 6 months to 12 years and 8 months). Traffic accident was the most common cause (70.3%). 2. Average immobillization time was 9.2 weeks (range, 6.0 weeks to 12.1 weeks) in the nonoperative treatment group(17 cases), while 8.1 weeks(range, 6.1 weeks to 11.4 weeks) in the operative treatment group (10 cases). 3. Average bony union time was 9.6 weeks (range, 6.3 weeks to 12.5 weeks) in the nonoperative treatment group(17. cases) and 11.2 weeks (range, 9.0 weeks to 13.4 weeks) in the operative treatment group (P < 0.05). 4. Average overgrowth of femur was 3.3mm(range,

With simple abdomen, double contrast colon study, and ultrasongraphy, authors retrospectively analyzedradilogic findings of 46 cases which were proved periappendiceal abscess, due to perforation of appendix, byhistology or follow-up ultrasnongraphy from May in 1983 to July in 1985 at Yeung-Nam University Hospital. Theresuls obtained were as follows: 1. Of 46 cases, 24 cases were males and 22 cases females, with the results ofabove statistics, periappendiceal abscess was not influenced by sex. 2. Periappendiceal abscess was mostfrequently demonstrated in forties. 3. Comparison of ultrasonography and B.E. Pseudorenal pattern(Ultrasonography)- well defined defect (B.E.) Cystic pattern(Ultrasonography)- serrated defect (B.E.) 4. Missed 2 cases inultrasonography were detected in B.E., i.e. sensitivity of B.E. is higher than that of ultrasonography. 5.Differences of ultrasonography and B.E.

Prurigo pigmentosa(PP) is a rare dermatosis with an unknown cause characterized by intensely pruritic papules that resolve with reticulate pigmentation. It is a disease entitity commonly reported in Japan but seemingly rare in other parts of the world. We report 5 cases that clinically and histopathologically fulfilled the characterisitics of PP and were treated with dapsone resulting in significant clinical improvement.

Penile Horn occurs as a single or multiple lesions. It usually starts as warty growth that later becomes hyperkeratotic and assumes the appearance of a horn. A 22-year-old male patient was presented with a slow growing, asymptomatic, dark brownish colored, corn-shaped, protruding mass on prepuce of the penis for 5 months. Histopathologic finding showed verruca vulgaris. We think that penile horn in this case may be come from verruca vulgaris.

8.Fraxetin Induces Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression by Activation of Akt/Nrf2 or AMP-activated Protein Kinase α/Nrf2 Pathway in HaCaT Cells.

BACKGROUND: Fraxetin (7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy coumarin), a coumarin derivative, has been reported to possess antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. A number of recent observations suggest that the induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibits inflammation and tumorigenesis. In the present study, we determined the effect of fraxetin on HO-1 expression in HaCaT human keratinocytes and investigated its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: Reverse transcriptase-PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to detect HO-1 mRNA and protein expression, respectively. Cell viability was measured by the MTS test. The induction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by fraxetin was evaluated by 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate staining. RESULTS: Fraxetin upregulated mRNA and protein expression of HO-1. Incubation with fraxetin induced the localization of nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) in the nucleus and increased the antioxidant response element-reporter gene activity. Fraxetin also induced the phosphorylation of Akt and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)α and diminished the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog, a negative regulator of Akt. Pharmacological inhibition of Akt and AMPKα abrogated fraxetin-induced expression of HO-1 and nuclear localization of Nrf2. Furthermore, fraxetin generated ROS in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: Fraxetin induces HO-1 expression through activation of Akt/Nrf2 or AMPKα/Nrf2 pathway in HaCaT cells.

Annular pustular psoriasis is a rare variant of the generalized pustular psoriasis characterized by annular lesions with rapidly evolving pustules, associated mild toxicity, and rapid response to therapy. We present a case of annular pustular psoriasis in a 17-year-old male, in whom no previous history of psoriasis was found. The skin lesions were characterized clinically by annular to gyrate erythematous lesions with pinpoint pustules near the periphery on both shoulders, upper arms, and back areas. The histology showed large intraepidermal spongiform pustules. Most of the skin lesions disappeared within 1 week with topical corticosteroid cream.
