1.Treatment of Acute Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation: Kirschner's Wire Trans-acromial Fixation versus AO Locking Hook Plate Fixation.
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2016;19(3):149-154
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between trans-acromial fixation with Kirschner's wire (K-wire) and AO locking hook plate fixation for acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. METHODS: This study included 61 patients who underwent either closed reduction and trans-acromial fixation with K-wire (group A, 23 patients) or open reduction and internal fixation with AO locking hook plate (group B, 38 patients). Pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and active range of motion (ROM) were used in the functional evaluation. For radiological evaluation, coracoclavicular distance (CCD) was measured on both clavicular anteroposterior view and compared between groups. RESULTS: At one-year follow-up, no significant differences in VAS pain score, UCLA shoulder score, ASES score, and active ROM were observed between groups, despite five cases (22.7%, 5/23) of complication in group A. The side-to-side difference between normal and affected CCD was 2.4 ± 2.2 mm in group A and 0.2 ± 0.7 mm in group B. This difference showed a statistical significance between groups (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: For the treatment of acute AC joint dislocation, the K-wire trans-acromial fixation group showed a significantly greater CCD than the AO locking hook plate group. In addition, during the follow-up period, much higher incidence of complication related to implant was observed in the trans-acromial fixation group. Although clinical outcomes between groups were not significantly different, these results should be interpreted carefully.

The purpose of this report is to study further the presence and nature of the serum inhibitory factor against C. albicans and to investigate whether the pregnant mother sera and corresponding the sera of newborn cord blood would have any differend in inhibitory effect compared with normal adult sera. The sei um samples were obtained from 100 normal healthy adults, 50 pregnant mothers, and 5() samples of sera of newborn cord blood respectively. The degree of candidal growth was determined by the change of percent transmission on pectrophotometry of the organism inoculated in nutrient broth during 24-hour incubation. The results obtained were as follows: The sei a from normal healthy adults were found to retain the inhibitory effects on in vit o candidal growth compared with control, The inhibitory effect of pregnant mother or infant cord sera was also demonstrated, but v, as weaker than that of norrnal adult sera. The inhibitory effect of each group sera was reversed nearly to the control level after con..plete saturation with iron. The inhibitory action of normal adults sera in the standard strain of C. albicans was weaker than in the strain from the patient, The nature of the human serum inhibitory factor against in vitro growth of C. albicans seems to be closely related with the unbound iron-binding capacity of transferrin

To estimate the impact the discontinuance of regular exercise on serum lipids, we selected 90 healthy young adults who were recruited and completed their training course as scheduled(5-week basic physical training and 4-week indoor education) during the period February 1995 to April 1995. Serum lipids, height, and weight were measured three times(Time I: before training, Time II: after 5-week training, Time III: after 4-week detraining). Ninety study subjects were classified as underweight, normal and overweight based on the criteria of Katsura equation. Of 17 underweight subjects, two were weight maintainers and 15 were weight gainers. There was no significant change in serum lipids after detraining among 15 weight gainers. Of 64 normal weight subjects, three were weight losers, 12 weight maintainers and 49 were weight gainers. There was significant increase in total cholesterol after detraining among 12 weight maintainers(P<0.01). In addition to this, there was also significant increase in total cholesterol(P<0. 01), LDL- cholesterol(P<0. 01) and HDL-cholesterol(P<0.05) after detraining among 49 weight gainers. This might be due to the harmful effect of detraining except HDL-cholesterol change. Of nine overweight subjects, only one was weight loser and eight were weight maintainers. There was significant increase in HDL-cholesterol after detraining among 7 weight maintainers (P<0.05). However, there were no significant changes in total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and MI index. The harmful effect of detraining was not observed in overweight subjects. In conclusion, the harmful effect of detraining was observed in weight maintainers and weight gainers among normal weight subjects after regular exercise.

9 Cases of femoral head fractures treated in Seoul National University Hospital were reviewed. They were classified according to Pipkin, and assessed according to Ebstein's criteria. The longest follow-up was 3 years and the shortest 6 months, the average being 1 year and 6 months. l. 8 cases were injured due to auto accident and there was no one who had worn seatbelt. 2. 1 case of intestine rupture and 2 cases of homothorax were accompanied. 3. There were 1 excellent, 1 good, and 1 poor results in 3 cases of Pipkin type 1, 1 fair result in 1 case of Pipkin type 2, 1 good and 1 fair results in 2 cases of Pipkin type 3, 1 good and 2 fair results in 3 cases of Pipkin type 4. 4. The following complications were encountered, 2 cases of sciatic nerve palsy, 1 case of avascular necrosis of femoral head, 1 case of traumatic arthritis.

Mycosis fungoides is an unusual malignancy of helper T-lymphocyte origin which presents initiaily with skin disease and progresses to the lymph nodes, peripheral blood. and viseral organs, and frequently results in death. A 51-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital in October, 1930 for the evaluation of a painful reddish brown tumor with ulceration of 6 months duration on the abdomen. Lymphadenopathy was not present, and routine laboratory examinations revealed negative or, within normal limits. She was diagnosed as mycosis fungoides with stage IIb according to the commirtee on staging and classification of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and treated with chemotherapy;regimen, BAM-M consisted of Bleomycin, Adriamycin, Methotrexate and topical nitrogen mustard. she achieved complete remission of the tumor with five cycles of BAM-M chemotherapy. We report favorable response after BAM-M chemotherapy in a pacent with advanced stage of mycosis fungoides(TNM IIb).

10.A Clinical Observation on Ultrasonography of Renal Diseases.
Korean Journal of Urology 1983;24(1):9-14
Recent improvements in gray scale ultrasonic imaging and the development of real time ultrasound made it useful in directing the diagnostic examination and in determining which patients should undergo further, more invasive diagnostic procedures. Ultrasound scanning is cheaper and quicker than computed tomography and angiography, is not invasive and causes little discomfort to the patient. No intravenous contrast medium is used so that reactions to iodine and the difficulty in obtaining venous puncture, frequently a problem in children, are circumvented. There is no ionizing radiation or problem with breath holding. So we made a brief review of the clinical experience and value of ultrasound of renal diseases.
