The concentration of serum triglyceride values were studied at department of pediatrics, Chungnam National University Hospital. With the total 742 cases, among them 462 boys and 280 girls who were at the age of 2 months through 15 years old. Serum triglycerde values were measured to determine the distribution of values and evaluated on the basis of sex, age, height and weight percentile. The following results were obtained: 1) The mean value of the serum triglycerides were 88.11+/-35.76 mg/dl in boys and 94.82+/-34.56 mg/dl in girls. 2) In distribution of trglyceride level by percentile, the value of 90th percentile was 136 mg/dl. 3) The values of the serum triglyceride from 6 to 11 year old age group were significant low values in boys and girls.

Transitional cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the urteter, usually presenting as focal ureteral wall thickening or a mass filling the ureter lumen and combined with periureteral infiltration or adjacent lymph node enlargement. Retroperitoneal mass due to exophytic growth of ureteral transitional cell carcinoma has not been described in the literature, and we now report the CT findings in such a case.

At the present day, the metallic rigid fixation is used universally in facial bone fracture surgery. However, these metallic plating system have problems associated with growth restriction in pediatric patients, intracranial migration, increase risk of infection, palpability, and exposure. To overcome these problems, absorbable devices have been developed and used in the reconstruction of pediatric craniofacial deformities before early stages and in the facial bone fracture of adult recently. However, the usefulness of fixation for the force vector affecting region was not verified. From October 2000 to August 2001, absorbable fixation system(BiosorbFX(R) Bionix Implants inc.) was used in 10 open reduction of facial bone fracture with malocclusion; 5 patients with Le Fort I or Le Fort II fracture, 1 patient with maxillary-sagittal fracture, 4 patients with mandible fracture. All the patients, the malocclusion was corrected with no complications, and stabilized fixation was achieved after average 8 months follow up period. These results show usefulness of absorbable devices for fixation of force vector affecting region.
