It has been well known that infertile women experience not only emotional disturbance but also stress. But there is no concern about male infertility patients. So phychiat.ic symptoms were studied with SCL-90 (Symptom Check List-90) in 30 infertile men who was operated testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in Samsung Cheil Hospital and in age matched 31 fertile men from Jan. 1998 to Aug. 1998. In 5 symptom dimensions (Obcessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Phobic anxiety, Psychoticisim) scores. The Infertile group scored significantly higher than the control group. The result revealed that infertile men also experienced substantially more psychiatric symptoms than fertile men. Considering this results, psychiatric evaluation and tender care by infertility specialist are necessary for infertile men during and after evaluation and treatment.

Although the primary repair has been recognized so far, the tendon graft is reported as a primary treatment method for tendon injury in no man's land of Bunnel, judging from the state of injured hand, the ability of operator and the environment of medical operation. The 27 cases of tendon graft that were operated for 11 years from June, 1973 to June, 1984 in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine have been followed up for clinical study. The results were as follows: 1. The Material of this study was composed of 13 males (21 cases) and 5 females (6 cases) whose age were from 8 to 39 years old. 2. The injured fingers were classified with 3 thumbs, 6 index fingers, 7 middle fingers, 8 ring fingers and and 3 little fingers out of 27 cases and all injured parts of fingers were Zone II except that of thumb which was Zone IV of Bunnel. 6 patients were injured more than 2 fingers. 3. The duration from tendon injury to tendon graft which scattered from 1 month to 9 years and averaged out to 28.2 months is supposed to have little relation to post-operative results. 4. The post-operative results showed up 9 excellent, 7 good and 1 fair out of 17 cases in good gmup, 3 good and 6 fair out of 9 cases in cicatrix group, 1 fair out of 1 case in nerve damage group at pre-operative state. 5. The post-operative results of thumb which show up 2 excellent, 1 good out of 3 cases were most successful among those of all fingers. 6. The pre-operative state is supposed to have great relation to post-operative state judging from 94% satisfactory results of good group at pre-operative state. 7. As multiple injury makes little difference from single injury, the injured state of each hand is supposed to an important effect on post-operative results. 8. As all electric bumed injury show up fair except that of thumb, they are supposed to have unsatisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE: To know the clinical features of overuse injury in performing musicians and to evaluate related factors that may affect the overuse injury and playing related pain. METHODS: Eighty professional musicians and music college students were examined during 1 year. All were examined by a history taking, physical examination, radiologic exam and if needed electromyography. Nonparametric Sperman's correlation were used for the statistic analysis and 5 interval grading system, visual analog scale for pain, and stress, criteria of joint hypermobility were used for various measurements. RESULTS: Fifty four men were studied in 3 music colleges and a professional orchestra. Frequency of symptom was 46.3%. The string players were most frequently affected (65%), whereas the wind instrument players were least frequently affected (11.5%). The most commonly affected site was the hand and wrist (54.2%) followed by the spine. Patients were divided by the severity into 5 groups and among them the grade 1 was most common (29.6%). No significant correlation was seen between the practice hours per week but a significant correlation was noted between the stress and playing related pain. Joint hypermobility plays an important role in music playing which is dependent on the kind of instruments. CONCLUSION: Incidence of the overuse injury in musicians is high in Korea and the prevention and early treatment are essential for the good outcome of overuse syndrome.
