We retrospectively studied 60 amblyopic patients who had been treated for 12 months or more. They were divided into three age groups; below 5.5 years, 5.5 years to 8 years and 8 years or more, and visual improvements were compared with three age groups. The visual improvements were 5 line increase in both of below 5.5 year group and 5.5 year to 8 year age group and 3 line increase in 8 year and older group. In all three age groups, two-thirds of the improvements were achieved during the first three months of treatment There was no difference in visual improvement according to amblyopic type(strabismic, anisometropic, strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia). Treatment failures seemed to be the later onset of treatment, eccentric fixation and large anisometropic difference.

Fracture of the tibial shaft is one of the most common fracture of the long bones and, due to its frequency and easy accessibility to traumatic insults, it is frequently complicated with malunion, delayed union and nonunion, and osteomyelitis. Recently, closed flexible intramedullary nailing of the fracture of the long bones has gained popularity. And its application to the tibial shaft fracture is reported to meet the object of fracture treatment by providing maintenance of reduction and by allowing early mobilization of the injured leg. There are other advantages such as stimulation of forming external callus by allowing some motion at fracture site, adequate fixation without exposure of the fracture site. Authors carried out retrospective study of the 56 tibial shaft fractures in 54 patients which were fixed with Rush nails (31 tibial fracture in 30 patients) or Ender nails (25 tibial fractures in 24patients). The results were analyzed to compare the effectiveness of these two methods. The results were as follows: 1. Tibial fracture treated with rush nailing united clinically at 15.7 weeks and united radiologically at 21.8 week on an average postoperatively. 2. There was a tendency of earlier healing of fracture of tibial shaft treated with Ender nailing:clinical union and radiological union were obtained at 12.8 weeks and 18.8 weeks on an average, respectively. 3. Ender nailing has advantage such fracture fragment during insertion. 4. Additional insertion of Ender nail as ease of nailing, low incidence of displacement of undisplaced provided greater stability at the fracture and it was attributable to earlier healing of tibial fracture treated with Ender nailing. 5. Rush and Ender nailings failed to maintain reduction of the fracture of proximal tibia shaft. As the advantages of Ender nailing surpass those of Rush nailing, authors have preference of Ender nailing in the treatment of the tibial shaft fracture.

Cutaneous larva migrans(CLM) is a ubiquitous self-limiting skin eruption which has intensely pruritic, serpiginous, raised, sharply demarcated, red lesions. It is most frequently caused by larvae of dog and cat hookworms. We report two typical cases of cutaneous larva migrans that appeared as pruritic exanthems in two people after they had travelled in Southeast Asia. It is suggested one should consider cutaneous larva migrans in the differential diagnoses of erythematous pruritic lesions.

6.Assessment of the nutritional value of the plate waste generated in School Foodservices in Kyungbuk Area.
Journal of the Korean Dietetic Association 2002;8(3):311-317
The purpose of this study was to analyse the nutrient intake of the elementary students participating in the School lunch program and to compare the amount of the plate waste generated in two school foodservice operations that were located in an urban(school A) and a rural area(school B), respectively. A plate waste analysis was conducted for each menu item to separate and quantify food waste discarded in service phases of each operation. The SPSS 10.0 for window was used for data analysis. Non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney) was adopted to determine if significant differences existed in amounts of food waste generated in school A and school B. An average of 415 meals, including 43 adult meals, were served daily in school A, while an average of 177 meals, including 24 adult meals, were served daily in school B. Throughout the study the percentage of plate waste in vegetable dishes was high in both school. The food served to the students in school A met most of the RDA set by Korean Nutrition Association except vitamin A, while that served to the students in school B satisfied RDA in all aspects. Between 10-20% of the nutrients served were discarded as plate waste(school A : 11-27%; school B : 5-14%). Students in school B took significantly more niacin than students in school A did. It should be noted, though, that the RDA was still met in both schools except the vitamin A in case of school A, even after considering the plate waste. The research results suggested that school foodservice dieticians should evaluate the acceptability of menu items based on food waste per meal, and help increase the students' awareness of the environmental impact of food waste. Further, teachers, parents and dieticians should be encouraged to provide environmental education to the students that focused on the reduction of food waste.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) is a disease entity caused mostly by drugs or viral infections. Clinically it manifests as generalized erythema, erythema multiforme and amicrobial pustules with fever. Histologically, AGEP is composed of neutrophilic subcorneal and spongiform pustules. A 70-year-old female, with no personal or family history of psoriasis, was given medication including diltiazem for hypertension. Fourteen days after taking the medications, pustular eruptions appeared on the face and rapidly spread to the trunk and limbs. A Laboratory examination revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The skin biopsy showed subcorneal and spongiform pustules. We report here a case of AGEP probably due to diltiazem.

BACKGROUND: This retrospective comparative study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes and complications of two surgical methods for simple fractures of the humeral shaft; minimally invasive anterior plating and open reduction combined with internal fixation. METHODS: A total of 26 patients with humeral shaft simple fractures, who had surgery between June 2009 and September 2013 and were followed-up at least 12 months, were included in our analysis. They were divided into two groups; group 1 comprised of 12 patients who underwent minimally invasive anterior plating and group 2 comprised of 14 patients who underwent an open reduction and internal fixation. The clinical outcomes, radiological results, and complications were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: We found that bone union was achieved in all patients, and the mean union periods were 20.7 +/- 3.34 and 20.3 +/- 3.91 weeks for groups 1 and 2, respectively. In most patients, we found that shoulder and elbow functions were recovered. At 12 months post-operation, we found that the Korean Shoulder Scoring system, the University of California at Los Angeles score and Mayo elbow performance score were 91.4 +/- 7.97, 33.4 +/- 1.15, and 90.8 +/- 2.23 for group 1, and 95.2 +/- 1.53, 33.3 +/- 1.43, and 90.17 +/- 1.85 for group 2. In terms of complications, we found that 2 patients had radial nerve palsy after open reduction and internal fixation, but all cases spontaneously resolved within 6 months. Complications such as infection and loss of fixation were not reported. CONCLUSIONS: Both minimally invasive anterior plating and open reduction with internal fixation produced satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of simple fractures of the humeral shaft.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare, non-neoplastic condition, which was first coined by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1942. Clavicle is an unusual site for aneurysmal bone cyst. Authors present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst which was found in the right clavicle of a 5 years old boy, because of its rarity of site of predilection.

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1984;19(2):351-356
Subtrochanteric fracture is well known for its difficulty in management, though various devices of rigid fixation have been developed. Each internal fixation device requires a lot of surgical instruments and the surgeon must be skillful in using them. Osteo self-compression plate which was preoperatively bent to fit the contour of the lateral surface of the subtrochanteric region was proved to be technically easy to fix these fractures without causing major complication. Present authors recommend to use this prebent Osteo self-compression device to treat this fracture when the surgical instruments are not fully equipped, and suitable fixation devices are not available, and/or the surgeon has no experience in handling the newly developed surgical instruments for the subtrochanteric fracture.
