The authors did clinical analysis for 37 cases, ranging from 5 to 13 year old of age and following result obtained. 1. In group I partial involved type had brightful prognosis even in the neglected the cases. 2. Ischeal brace did not give any help to group II & III but in group I, it gave some help to the prognosis. 3. In untreated cases of old age group developed early arthritic changes. 4. The inital radiological bony changes in early L-C-P. cases was the demineralization of the subchondral area and subsequently subohondral vaccum phenomena followed.

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a ruptured suprarenal artery aneurysm is very rare. We report on a 34-year-old man who underwent selective angiography for diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal hemorrhage for suprarenal artery aneurysm. The patient made a full recovery with no evidence of further hemorrhage.

PURPOSE: Breast cancer risk assessment tools have been developed in western countries as a result of large scaled epidemiological studies. These tools have been used as a rationale for breast cancer screening and to determine the selection criteria of NSABP P-1 and P-2. The aim of this study was to develop a breast cancer risk assessment tool for Korean women, which would be helpful for screening and preventing breast cancer. METHODS: The breast cancer risk model was used published by Sue Kyung Park in 2003. The report was a case- control study of 1687 breast cancer patients and 1155 normal populations in 3 hospitals from 1996 to 2000. The risk factors used in this model were age, family history of the first and second relatives, body mass index, age at the first delivery, breast-feeding and a special test on the breasts. A computer program was developed using the Borland Delphi on a personal computer using a windows 98 operating system. The program consisted of three parts; an input window of the risk factors, a calculation part of the relative risks, an output window of the results. RESULTS: The program was a 308K byte sized single executable file. In the initial window, a simple explanation of the program and a reference of the risk model were displayed. The age, height and weight were entered as continuous variables in the input window. The family history of the first and second relatives, the age at the first delivery, breast-feeding and a special test on the breasts were selected by the radio buttons. In the output window, the relative risks were calculated according to each risk factor. The overall relative risk was calculated in a given age group and the overall age group. CONCLUSION: In this study, a computer program for a breast cancer risk assessment was developed using the relative risk model of breast cancer. This program was found to be useful for making an individual breast cancer risk assessment of Korean women.

PURPOSE: Supraventricular tachycardia(SVT) is the most frequent symptomatic arrhythmia in children. We performed this study to disover the SVT mechanisms, age at SVT onset, symptoms and ECG findings of SVT and effect of adenosine on SVT. METHODS: We studied 57 patients(male : 30, female : 27, age : 1 day-15.8 years) who had been admitted or transferred due to SVT from January, 1997 to March, 2001. Retrospectively we reviewed their medical records, ECG and electrophysiologic study findings. RESULTS: Of the total 57 patients, the mechanisms of SVT(including atrial flutter) were atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia(AVRT) in 36(63%) patients, atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia(AVNRT) in 9(16%) patients, ectopic atrial tachycardia(EAT) in 6(11%) patients, multifocal atrial tachycardia(MAT) in 3(5%) patients and atrial flutter(AF) in 3(5%) patients. Of the 12 primary atrial tachycardias(including EAT, MAT and AF), 11 tachycardias began before 1 year of age. The SVT occured before 1 year of age in 21(37%) patients, at 1 to 5 years of age in 7(12 %) patients, at 5 to 10 years of age in 19(33%) patients and after 10 years of age in 10(18%) patients. In symptomatic SVT, the frequent symptoms were palpitation, chest discomfort and chest pain, gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea and abdominal pain, dizziness and dyspnea in decreasing frequency. P wave was discernible in 31(86%) of the 36 AVRT patients and 5(56%) of the 9 AVNRT patients. Adenosine was effective in 19(91%) of 21 AVRT or AVNRT patients. No significant side effect resulted from was occured by rapid bolus intravenous injection of adenosine. CONCLUSION: AVRT was most frequent in pediatric SVT patients. SVT frequently occured before 1 year of age and at 5 to 10 years of age. Primary atrial tachycardia mainly occured before 1 year of age.
