The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(3):539-541
The osteochondroma is a common benign tumor with osteocartilaginous exostosis. It may arise from any bone, but is observed most often on long tubular bones, particularly on their metaphyseal region. Osteochondroma may also arise from the rib but seldom grow to giant size. We experienced a rare case of giant osteochondroma arising from the left 5th rib. The patient, 41 years old man, had an adult fist sized mass on the left lower chest with mild aching pain on respiration. The large mass was examined by biopsy. It showed characteristic microscopic findings of osteochondroma. No evidence of malignant change was seen in this large tumor.

3.A Clinical Study of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Orthopedic Surgery
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(2):250-258
The soft tissue sarcoma ih the Orthopedic surgery is not common, occuring in less than one percent of all malignant tumors. Whille the sarcoma is comparatively highly malignant, its treatment has been varied, and the effect of the each treatment has been controversial and generally poor on statisties. We studied 58 cases of soft tissue sarcoma in the Orthopedic department of Pusan Gospei Hospital in the 6 years period from March, 1975 to March, 1981. We confirmed the sarcoma diagnosis by biopsy, and measured the size, the degree of local infilteration and occurrence of metastasis with the help of plain X-ray, angiography, lung and bone scan, and computerized tomograms. We made treatment plans according to above results. We classified the soft tissue sarcoma into 8 histologic types and obtained following conclusions: l. Among the 58 cases of soft tissue sarcoma, and majority is consisted of fibrosarcoma, liposarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. 2. There were 41 cases occurred in the lower extremity and 17 cases in the upper extremity. Thus soft tissue sarcoma are more frequent in the lower extremity, especially in thigh (2 patients). 3. We found 19 cases between the age of 41 to 50 years. In general, the soft tissue sarcoma are more frequent between the age of 31 to 50 years. 4. Among the 58 cases, 10 patient came to our hospital because of recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma, after receiving local excision in other hospitals. In other words 17 percent of our cases showed recurred sarcoma and duration of recurrence was within 16 months. 5. Metastasis of the soft tissue sarcoma had taken place in 17 patients (29%), most frequently metastasis to the lung in 12 cases (70%). 6. We treated 30 cases by chemotherapy and radiotherapy after excision or amputation. In 15 sarcomas that could not be excised, but the medical treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 7. The follow-up study revealed better result obtained in the group of aggresive treatment with anticancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy after excision or amputation.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a baptist electronic Nutritional Screening Program (B-eNSP) that could be easily used to identify patients with nutrition at risk or malnutrition on their admission to hospital using an integrated medical information system and to evaluate validity, reliability and efficiency of B-eNSP. METHODS: From June 1 2009 to June 21 2009, we enrolled 496 patients for prospective research. We analyzed age, sex, weight, height, weight loss in the last 3 months, serum albumin, alteration of dietary intake, gastrointestinal symptom, functional capacity, diagnosis and its relationship to nutritional requirements, physical examination and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). B-eNSP included body mass index (BMI), weight loss in the last 3 months, serum albumin. Each component was scored. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated to evaluate the validity of the B-eNSP. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn by using B-eNSP to choose a cut-off value that maximizes sensitivity and specificity and Yoden Index. Comparison with SGA and the reliability of the B-eNSP was done using kappa statistics. RESULTS: The maximum Yoden Index was 0.866 and the cut-off value of the ROC curve was 2. A B-eNSP score higher than 2 was defined as nutrition at risk or malnutrition. Reliability of the B-eNSP was in accordance with SGA by kappa 0.845. CONCLUSION: The B-eNSP can be used efficiently to identify patients with nutrition at risk or malnutrition by simply using an integrated medical information system.

Necleolar organizer regions(NORs) ARE LOOPS OF DNA which transcribe to ribosomal RNA by RNA polymerase I. Since NOR-associated proteins are argyrophilic, silver staining method has been used for demonstration of AgNORs. The numbers and/or configurations of NORs may reflect the activities of cells in hyperplastic and neoplastic conditions. To evaluated the applicability of AgNORs in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, the author had performed silver staining on the routinely processed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of 14 cases of normal liver(control), 23 cirrhotic liver, and 21 hepatocellular carcinoma. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The mean number of AgNORs per nucleus(mAgNOR) of normal liver, cirrhotic liver and hepatocellular carcinoma was 1.45+/-0.07, 2.53+/-0.38 and 5.52+/-1.63, respectively. The difference of mAgNOR between normal and cirrhotic liver, and between cirrhotic liver and hepatocellular carcinoma was statistically significant, respectively(p<0.01). 2) The percentage of nuclei showing five or more AgNORs per nucleus(pAgNOR) was 0.07% in normal liver, 7.59% in cirrhotic liver, and 60.49% in hepatocellular carcinoma. 3) AgNORs in hepatocellular carcinoma were large, pleomorphic and irregularly clumped, in addition to increase of mAgNOR and high pAgNOR. In conclusion, the increase of mAgNOR, high pAgNOR and large, irregular AgNORs are regarded as an additional helpful finding for the histopathological diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
