2.Investigation of High-Sensitivity C-reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Low Back Pain Patients.
The Korean Journal of Pain 2010;23(2):147-150
BACKGROUND: Chronic low back pain can be a manifestation of lumbar degenerative disease, herniation of intervertebral discs, arthritis, or lumbar stenosis. When nerve roots are compromised, low back pain, with or without lower extremity involvement, may occur. Local inflammatory processes play an important role in patients with acute lumbosciatic pain. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) measurements in patients with chronic low back pain or radiculopathy. METHODS: ESR and hsCRP were measured in 273 blood samples from male and female subjects with low back pain and/or radiculopathy due to herniated lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and other diseases. The hsCRP and ESR were measured prior to lumbar epidural steroid injection. RESULTS: The mean ESR was 18.8 mm/h and mean hsCRP was 1.1 mg/L. ESR had a correlation with age. CONCLUSIONS: A significant systemic inflammatory reaction did not appear to arise in patients with chronic low back pain.

3.The Treatment of Open Tibial Fractures by Ender's Nailing
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1988;23(3):665-676
The treatment of open tibial fracture has become one of the most controversial subjects in orthopedic surgery. Recently flexible intramedullary nails have been used successfully in treatment of Type I, II open fractures of the tibial shaft. In this paper we are reporting our experience with the method in 20 open fractures of the tibia in 18 patients. The results were ss follows. 1. The patients were predominantly more common in male(90%) and the average age was 42.7 years old and the most common cause of fracture was traffic accident. 2. The most common site and shape were at midshaft and comminuted fracture. 3. With early operation the incidence of infection was greatly reduced and wound healing was relatively rapid. 4. The patients were applied with long leg or P.T.B. cast for at least 4 weeks in order to the prevention of re-displacement. 5. The average healing time was 17.7 weeks in 14 cases and union was most rapid at upper third and Type I fractures. 6. The complication was developed in 14 cases, 3 cases of delayed union, nonunion and ankle stiffness was seen respectively. 7. Infection rate was greatly reduced because Ender's nailing procedure was easy to perform, operation time was shortened, good fixation and alignment of fracture fragment was done without periosteal stripping. 8. Ender's nailing is considered to be a good method in the treatment of open tibial fracture associated with soft tissue injurv and multiole iniuries.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the treatment results of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures by using Asian-Pacific Gamma nails. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From June 1994 to June 1997, 58 cases of the intertrochanteric fractures were treated with Asian-Pacific Gamma nail, particularly compression hip screw fixation complications such as communited fracture involving lesser trochanter, transverse or reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture. We evaluated the bone union time, neck-shaft angle, lag screw sliding by follow up radiographs, and studied complications and intraoperative cautions. RESULTS: The average age was 74.4 years old, the mean duration of follow-up was 17 months, the mean duration of bone union was 14.2 weeks, the average neck-shaft angle was postop. 133+/-2.78 degree and last follow-up was 129.5+/-3.37 degree, and the average lag screw sliding was 4.7+/-3.16 mm. Intraoperative complications were difficulty in distal drilling (posterior drilling) in 4 cases, fracture displacement by nail insertion in 3 cases, and postoperative complications were coxa vara in 13 cases, superior cutting out of lag screw with nonunion in 1 case and superficial infection in 1 case. The entry portal must be formed by awling. The fracture displacement when inserting nail could be prevented by proper reaming after inserting the C-shaped guide pin, and posterior drilling could be avoided by confirming the locking between target device and nail. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the Asian-Pacific Gamma nail could appropriately treat the osteoporotic, communited intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients and we obtained satisfactory results.

6.Intrapoperative Femur fractures during Cementless femoral stem insertion

Fracture of the femur during total hip arthroplasty presents the simultaneous problems of prosthetic stability and fracture treatment. The treatment of such fractures can be complex and is one of the major challenges and this complication is associated with a high morbidity and a significant delay in convalescence. Among the 237 cases, who were treated by cementless total hip arthroplasty from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1992, 13 cases of femoral fracture were experienced. They usually occured during insertion of prosthesis and preparation of the medullary canal. There were 6 cases of type II fracture, 1 case of type III fracture, 5 cases of type IV fracture and 1 case of type V fracture according to AAOS classification. All of the fracture healed, but the prognosis of these cases must be determined by follow up. We recommend that femoral fractures can be prevented by accurate preoperative evaluation of the size of the femoral canal, identification and management of the predisposing factors for intraoperative fractures.

A 63-year-old male patient with extensive carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder was found to have unsuspected transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate. Mapping of the totally embedded radical cystectomy specimen demonstrated diffuse, multifocal, epithelial abnormalities, ranging from mucosal atypia to the nonpapillary carcinoma in situ with extension to the urethra, prostatic ducts and glands, seminal vesicles and ureter, probably reflecting individual urothelial susceptibility in reaction to carcinogenic stimulus. The importance of prostatic assessment in the evaluation of the patient with carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder is emphasized.

We studied distribution of fibronectin in paraquat-induced adult fibrotic lung by indirect immunofluorescence and indirect immunoperoxidase methods, using affinity-purified antifibronectin IgG peroxidase conjugates and antifibronectin IgG FITC conjugates. In contrast to the relative paucity of staining in normal lung, there was a marked increase in interstitial staining for fibronectin in this fibrotic lung. This marked alterations in the apparent amounts and distribution of fibronectin in fibrotic human lung suggest its involvement in the cellular events accompanying human lung fibrosis.
