The results of treatment of injuries of the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine with neurological involvement have been reviewed in a retrospective study of 14 patients who received surgical treatment. Seven patients were treated with open reduction and Harrington instrumentation and the others were treated with anterior fusion, laminectomy only, Roger wiring with H-graft and posterior fusion respectively. In the former group, distraction rods were used in all patients. Three patients with incomplete paraplegia and of the 4 patients with complete paraplegia, two patients showed marked neurological improvement. While, in the latter group, only two patients with incomplete paraplegia showed marked neurological improvement. Harrington instrumentation allowed easier postoperative nursing and early mobilization of the patients.

A 4-year-old boy has had a solitary sclerotic depressed plaque on the right anterior chest since birth. The histopathologic findings are consistent with morphea profunda: thickening, hyalinization, and homogenization of collagen bundles in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues, admixture with a prominent lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltrate, and sweat glands en-trapped between the thickened collagen bundles. We report a case of congenital solitary morphea profunda.

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of a maternal education program based on the temperament theory on the temperamental goodness-of-fit between mother and child. METHOD: The research method was a nonequivalent, control group, non-synchronized design and the experimental period was from May 10, 2004 to July 24, 2004. The subjects were mothers who had children 3-4 years old who registered in eight kindergartens or infant schools in M city. Among the total 94 subjects, 47 were allocated as an experimental group and 47 were a control group. Using the SPSS/WIN 10.0 program, the data was analyzed by a Chi-square test, and t-test. RESULT: 1. After treatment with a maternal education program based on the temperament theory, the experimental group significantly decreased in scores for perceived children's behavior problems in comparison to the control group(t=-4.01, p<.001). 2. After treatment with a maternal education program based on the temperament theory, the experimental group did not significantly decrease in scores for parenting stress in comparison to the control group(t=-.85, p=.40). 3. After treatment with a maternal education program based on the temperament theory, the experimental group did not significantly decrease in scores for rejective parenting behaviors in comparison to the control group(t=-1.32, p=.19). CONCLUSION: A maternal education program based on the temperament theory is a useful intervention to decrease perceived children's behavior problems.

We present cases of localized idiopathic lipoatrophy occurring in two women. A 19-year-old girl had symmetrically distributed annular telangiectatic atrophy on both buttocks and a 44-year-old female had annular telangiectatic atrophy on the right buttock. The histopathologic findings of these lesions revealed numerous capillaries, various sized lobules with small round or spindle shaped cells on a background of hyaline material in subcutaneous layer. Two cases of lipoatrophy which shows the involutional phase are reported.
