Perinatal asphyxia is an insult to fetus or newborn due to lack of oxygen or perfusion to various organs, especially to brain, resulting in the important complication known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. A clinical study was conducted on 30 newborns with perinatal asphyxia, who were admitted to Pediatric department of Ewha Women's University Hospital during 18 months period from Sep. 1990 to Feb. 1992. CPK, LDH and isoenzymes were measured in 30 asphyxated neonates and compared with control group. The results were as follows: 1) The serum CPK values at 1st and 7th day were not different in the asphyxia group and control group. 2) The serum CPK-BB and MB fraction at 1st day were highly significant in the asphyxia group. 3) The CSF CPK value at 1st day was highly significant in the asphyxia group. 4) The serum LDH values and the serum LDH isoenzyme 3 were highly significant in asphyxia group at 1st day. 5) The CSF LDH values and the CSF LDH isoenzyme 2 and 3 were highly significant in asphyxia group at 1st day. So, we concluded the serum CPK-BB fraction, the CSF CPK values, the serum LDH values, the serum LDH 2 fraction, the CSF LDH values and the CSF LDH 2,3 fraction as predictors of neurologic disability following perinatal asphyxia.

Although the incidence of tuberculous arthritis of the hip is being decreased with improvement of hygiene and preventive measures and chemotheraphy, it remains as important disease in orthopedic surgery. In order to evaluate which treatment is best in the view of eradication of the tuberculosis and preservation of the function, seventy two patients of tuberculous arthritis of the hip who were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul University Hospital for periods of 14 years between January 1970 and August 1983 were analysed clinically. The results are as follows: 1. Age distribution showed that patients below 15 years were thirty (41.7%) and those above 16 years were forty two (58.3%). 2. Onset of the symptoms above 1 year occupied forty two patients (58.3%). 3. Duration of follow up is between 1 year and 14 years with average duration of 3.5 years. 4. Recurrence rate according to the modality of treatment was 12.9% as 4 cases among 31 cases of hip fusion group, 15,2% as 5 cases among 33 cases of synovectomy group, and 28.6% as 2 cases among 7 cases of conservative group. 5. Follow up of the functional evaluation of the hip was 92.9% of “above Fair” as 26 cases among 28 cases of synovectomy group, 60% of “above Fair” as 3 cases among 5 cases of conservetive treatment group, and 25.7% of “above Fair” as 9 cases among 35 cases of hip fusion group. 6. Although the recurrence rate of synovectomy group is a little higher than that of hip fusion group, synovectomy is a better treatment in the view of the preservation of the function of the hip considering Korean life style.

Total hip arthroplasty(THA) is applied to various hip diseases, and the results are different according to the disease entities. We have made the functional evaluation of three groups of the patients who had undergone THA in Seoul National University Hospital from 1981 to 1990: the first group-fused hips (28 hips of 27 patients), the second group partially ankylotic hips whose total range of motion were less than 60°(46 hips of 46 patients), and the third group-hips of ankylosing spondylitis (22 hips of 14 patients). The results were summerized as follows: No statistically significant difference was seen in the postoperative average Harris hip score between three groups. In the postoperative average range of motion, statistically significant difference was seen only between the first and second groups. Therefore, similar clinical results can be obtained from the THA in the fused hips to those of the partially ankylotic hips such as tuberculous or septic hip sequelae.

Since 1983, the transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy has been performed in 38 hips of 36 patients for the nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head at the department of orthopaedic surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. Out of them, 26 hips(18 cases of Sugioka grade I and 8 cases of Sugioka grade II ) were followed up for more than 1 year. The average period of follow-up was 3 years and 5 months(range, 1 year and 2 months to 7 years). These cases include 3 cases of failure before 2 years after operation. Overall, the result was satisfactory in 20 cases(77%)out of a total of 26 cases(success in 18 cases(69%)and good in 2 cases(8%)). The results of the grade I lesions(14 cases of success and 1 case of good result out of 18 cases) were better than those of the grade I lesions(4 cases of success and 1 case of good result out of 8 cases). Complications occurred in 5 cases. These include an ectopic ossification, a stress fracture of the neck, a nonunion of the osteotomy site, a nonunion of the greater trochanter and a delayed union of the greater trochanter. There were 6 cases of failure. For the 4 cases of them, hip replacement arthroplasy was performed. The MRI images axial to the longitudinal axis of the femoral neck gave excellent information for the operation.

PURPOSE: This cross-sectional study was done to compare factors influencing smartphone addiction in middle school boys and girls. METHODS: Participants were 390 middle school students (boys 198, girls 192) who were living in Seoul. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program. RESULTS: Factors influencing smartphone addiction for boys were stress, the motivation to use smartphone as a tool of ostentation and fashion, depression, self-control, and teacher control over the use of smartphone. Factors influencing smartphone addiction for girls were stress, the motivation to use smartphone as a tool of ostentation and fashion. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that it is necessary to consider gender characteristics in order to develop effective management programs for smartphone addiction in middle school students.
