Anatomically olecranon fracture is an intra-articular fracure, so reduction must be exact. Using the principle of Zuggurtungsosteosynthese by Weber, Pauwels' clinical study of olecranon fracture showed the superiority of tension band. 15 patients with olecranon fracture of the ulna who were treated with tension band and could be followed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Han Il Hospital from January, 1974 to December, 1980 have been reviewed. The result obtained is as follows. We obtained the more rigid fixation with modifying the standard tension band locating the end of K-wire in the cortex of opposite side cortex of ulna. So, the result of treatment was satisfactory.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between the personality traits and job performance of Centers for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFSM) staff on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. In addition, the characteristics of the center organization were examined to provide practical guidelines for the operation of the center. The aim was to determine management implications with an important meaning in human resource management to enhance the efficiency of the operation of Centers for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFSM). METHODS: Out of 207 centers, there were 1,057 employees at 173 centers who agreed to participate in the study, the questionnaire was mailed on February 17, 2017 and collected by mail on March 31, 2017. Finally, 81 centers (46.82%) participated in the survey and 493 questionnaires were used. RESULTS: Neuroticism among the five personality factors had a positive (+) influence on ‘cynicism’ and ‘exhaustion’ among the three subordinate factors of emotional exhaustion, negative (−) effects on the ‘job’ among the six subscales of job satisfaction. In addition, openness showed a negative (−) effect on ‘loss of professional confidence’ of emotional exhaustion and positive (+) relationship with the ‘job’ of job satisfaction. Agreeableness appeared to have a negative (−) effect on all factors of emotional exhaustion and a positive (+) influence on all factors of job satisfaction. As a result of analyzing the effects of job performance on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction, the planning and operations management team showed a positive (+) influence on all factors of emotional exhaustion and negative (−) influence on all factors of job satisfaction. On the other hand, the nutrition management team showed a negative (−) influence on all emotional exhaustion factors and a positive (+) influence on the factors of job satisfaction. The hygiene management team showed a positive (+) relationship with ‘Emotional exhaustion’ among the subordinate factors of emotional exhaustion and a negative (−) influence on the ‘Educational opportunity’ of job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: The personality type and job performance of Centers for Children's foodservice management (ccfsm) staff significantly affected the emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction.

Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary are the third most common types of neoplasms that develop in the ovary and account for about 5-8% of all ovarian malignancies. Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) is one of the sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary has distinct differences from adult granulosa cell tumor (AJCT) with regard to clinical and pathological features as well as biological behavior most frequently occuring in the first two decades of life. Usually Call-exner bodies are rare, and luteinization is frequent in JGCT. The tumor may be solid, cystic, or both. In premenarcheal girls, juvenile granulosa cell tumor usually (82%) elicits the signs of sexual precocity. The tumor should removed as soon as the diagnosis is established. Surgery is the best treatment choice for low stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children, but for those with high stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor or recurrent tumor, the best treatment and sensitivity of tumor to radiation therapy and chemotherapy have not yet been determined clearly. About 90% are diagnosed in early stage so, prognosis of juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children is good in most cases, but tumor with more advanced stage has worse clinical outcome correlated with its stage, presence of ruptures, grade of nuclear atypia, degree of mitotic activity. And the clinical stage at the time of diagnosis is considered most important prognostic factor. We experienced a case of ruptured juvenile granulosa cell tumor so, we present a case with brief review of literature.

Purpose: Two-millimeter needlescopic instruments induce minimal damage to the abdominal wall and have excellent cosmetic benefits. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a laparoscopic intracorporeal suture using 2-mm instruments for pediatric inguinal hernia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 131 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair between March 2011 and February 2017. Three trocars were used: a 5-mm umbilical trocar for a needle holder and two 2-mm trocars for a camera and a grasper. The internal ring was closed with an intracorporeal purse-string suture. A telephone interview was conducted to confirm recurrence. Results: In the 131 patients, 169 procedures were successfully performed. The ages ranged from 2 months to 14 years (mean, 52.5 months), and the mean body weight was 18.0 kg (range, 6.7~49 kg). The mean operating time was 42 minutes for the unilateral cases and 46 minutes for the bilateral inguinal hernia repairs. All the cases were completed laparoscopically without intraoperative complications. Herniotomy was not performed in all the patients except nine. A contralateral patent processus vaginalis was present in 27.3% (35/128) of the patients. During the mean follow-up period of 54.6 months, 3 recurrences (2.3%) were observed. Two recurrences were treated using laparoscopy and one using open herniorrhaphy. Hydrocele occurred in one male patient. No wound complications or umbilical hernias developed. No testicular atrophy was observed. Conclusion This study showed that laparoscopic intracorporeal internal ring suture using 2-mm instruments for pediatric inguinal hernia was technically feasible and safe, with excellent cosmetic results.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to empirically investigate the determinants on oxygen free radical degree which causes biological damage focusing on smoking habit and health behaviors in daily life. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the subjects were adult males who submitted free radical tests among the examinees of the comprehensive medical testings at an university hospital in Suwon from 2008 to 2010. Total 497 samples were used in analyses for clarifying the relations of free radical degree to age, smoking, obesity, and other health behaviors. RESULTS: First, the degree of oxygen free radical increases by 0.164 as the age group increases (P<0.05). Second, the degree of oxygen free radical increases by 0.547 as the smoking habit increases (P<0.001). Third, the degree of oxygen free radical increases by 0.087 as the exposure to hazardous factors in workplace increases (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the study imply that the smoking habit has more great influence on the increase of oxygen free radical in body than any other health behaviors. The causality of free radical to smoking and health behavior was not identified due to the limit of the cross-sectional study so it needs to be studied prospectively in the future.

We reviewed eight solitary fibrous tumors occurring at sites other than pleura (three orbit, two retroperitoneum, one each hard palate, thyroid, and tongue) which shared the histologic and immunohistochemical features of solitary fibrous tumors of pleura. Six patients were women, and two were men, aged from 26 to 74 years. The tumors ranging from 1.5 to 19 cm in diameter presented as well-circumscribed, unencapsulated, soft to rubbery tissue masses. Histologically they were characterized by a proliferation of spindle or ovoid cells intervened by a dense bundles of collagen. A variety of growth patterns was identified but the so-called patternless pattern was the predominant one. One tumor exhibited highly cellular sarcomatous areas with extensive necrosis, which was diagnosed as malignant solitary fibrous tumor. Immunohistochemical studies showed that all of the tumors were strongly positive for both CD34 and vimentin, but negative for cytokeratin, S-100 protein, EMA, and desmin. One case examined ultrastructurally showed features of fibroblast. All but one showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis over follow-up period of 14 to 32 months. We conclude that extrapleural solitary fibrous tumors represent a distinct mesenchymal tumor with variable histologic features and should be differentiated from other spindle cell mesenchymal tumors.
