In recent years the rate of the spine Injury tends to be on the increase year by year as the rate of traffic and industrial accidents are increased. During industrial, sports and automobile accidents are occurred, the various forces were exerted by the mechanism, “flexion, extension, flexlon-rotation, vertlcal compression and shearing.” These exercise their effects on the vertebral bodies, the neural arches and intervertebral disc and the contents of the spinal cord, depending on direction and intensity of the trauma, and the posture and muscular attitude existent at the movement. Once the neurological Iesion has been diagnosised and the type of vertebral injury has been established and particularly after a decision has been made as to whether the spinal injury is stable or unstable, a rational method of treatment can be decised upon: Our treatment consists of providing the best condition for recovery from the spine injury, preventlng further neurologlcal damage in the unstable area, achieving stable bone and llgament heallng ln satisfactory position, preventing metabolic compllcations from being fatal, mobllizing the patient early, and rehabilitating to provide maximum fuctlonal independence with the remaining-muscle power avallablc to the cord injury patient. One hundred and fifty seven spine fracture and dislocation patients were clinically observed and evaluated from Jan. 1972 to Dec. 1978 in our study. The result of this study may be summerized as follows: 1. Out of the patients, there were 135 male and 22 female cases. The ratio between male and female was 6.1:1. The majority (84.7%) of the spine injuries was found in the age of 20 to 50 years. Fifty-two percent of the cases was caused by industrial accidents. 2. The most common site of the lesion occurred between T-11 and L-2 vertebrae (71.8%). 3. In cervical injury, fracture dislocation type was most common (50%), and especially, pure dislocation by extension mechanism was 12.5% but in thoracolumbar iniury, simple anterior wedge compression fracture was most common (66.6%) and there were no pure dislocations just like cervical spine injury cases. 4. Fifty seven cases of the total were complicated by paraplegia, of which 62.5% in cervical region and 31.6% in thoracolumbar region were noticed. The most frequent type of the injury in which paraplegia developed was the fracture dislocation (73.8%) and the most common site of the lesion was between the T-12 and the L-2 vertebrae. 5. Open reduction was performed in 9 cases out of 24 cervical spine injury patients and in 41 cases out of 133 thoracolumbar injury patients. 6. Prognosis of neurologic recovery in initially complete lesion was poor, regardness of treatment. In the cervical lesion cases there were no patients who were recovered. But in the other sites about 10.5% of initially complete lesion showed partial neural recovery comparing to 62.5% of initially incomplete lesions. 7. Progressive deformity is often noted as a complication of spine fracture or dislocation when solid fusion fails to develop. The increment of kyphosis after treatment is as follows: Simple wedge fracture

A total of 200 cases of metastatic bone tumors was treated at the Yonsei Medical Center during the 5 years period from January 1976 to December 1980. The results of clinical radiological and pathologic analysis are as followings. 1. Among 200 cases of metastatic bone tumors, common site of cancer comprised the lung (30.5%), breast (15.0%), uterus (8.5%), stomach (6.4%), thyroid (3.5%), liver (3.5%), kidney (3.5%), nasopharynx (3.0%), and prostate (2.0%). In male, common primary sites of cancer were lung, stomach, kidney, oropharynx in decreasing order of incidence and in female, breast, uterus and lung. 2. In metastatic bone tumors, 75.5% were observed in the age group between 41 and 70 year of age, and average age was 53.1 years. 3. The sex distribution was 107 males (53.1%) and 93 females (46.5%). 4. The bones affected most frequently in this series were as followings; In only 9 cases (4.5%), metastasis to bone distal to the elbows and knees occurred. 5. Clinical features in this series were classified according to various conditions. Bone pain noticed on 163 cases (81.5%), fatigue on 152 cases (76.0%) and weight loss on 128 cases (64.0%). 6. Pathologic fractures occurred on 22 cases (11.0%); among them, 13 cases on the femur, 5 cases on the vertebrae, and 1 case on the acetabulum, humerus, rib and clavicle respectively. 7. Hematologically, serum calcium and phosphorus was noticed within normal limits. Serum alkaline phosphatase was slightly elevated and serum acid phosphatase was elevated in all cases of prostatic carcinoma. Serum albumin/ globuline ratio was slightly reversed (3.4/3.5mg%). 8. Radiologically, 86 cases were osteolytic, 10 cases were osteoblastic and 44 cases were mixed type. False negative on X-ray examination with positive finding of scan with 99mTc-MDP were found in 17 cases (27.4%). 9. All cases was treated by various methods; among this series, radiation and chemotherapy performed in 57 cases, radiation in 49 cases, chemotherapy in 14 cases, hormone therapy in 16 cases and radioisotope therapy in 5 cases. For 22 pathologic fractures, conservative treatment was performed in 9 cases, open reduction and internal fixation in 13 cases, open reduction and internal fixation with acrylic cement in 5 cases.

Cubitus varus deformity caused usually by malunion in supracondylar fracture or epiphyseal injuries of the elbow joint, but the other causes of cubitus varus deformity have not been reported. 7 cases of cubitus varus deformity were found among the patients in Sam Yook Childrens Rehabilitation Center in Oct. 1981 all of whom used crutches in order to ambulate due to late sequele of poliomyelitis. The results were as follows. l. After long-term crutch walking, cubitus varus deformity and bowing around the proximal forearm were seen among the patients who mis-used the crutches. 2. Gross carrying angle was greater than radiographic carrying angle and it caused by hypertrophy of the extensor muscle group in forearm and bowing around the proximal forearm. 3. Etiologic factors of the cubitus varus deformity were considered to be improper measurement of the crutches, degree of paralysis of lower extremity and duration of the crutch walking, etc. 4. The mechanism of this deformity could be explained biomechanically by the abnormal axial loading onto the elbow following long-term crutch walking. 5. The correct measurement of the crutches and proper flexion of the elbow during crutch walking were stressed.

PURPOSE: This study was done to analyze the relationship between organizational communication satisfaction and organizational commitment among hospital nurses. METHOD: A survey was conducted with 647 nurses who were working in 24 hospitals in Korea. Data were collected during August 2010. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression. RESULTS: The mean level of organizational communication satisfaction was 3.15 (min 1.88 -max 4.88) and the mean level of organizational commitment was 3.21 (min 1.33 - max 4.83). There was a statistically significant correlation between organizational communication satisfaction and organizational commitment (r=. 655). According to analysis of the impact of the subconstructions of organizational communication satisfaction on organizational commitment, the following factors had significant influence on organizational communication satisfaction: vertical communication, communication media, and organizational climate. CONCLUSION: These findings showed that communication satisfaction was the most important factor for nurses' organizational commitment. Therefore, there is a need to develop communication strategies and skills for hospital nurses to increase the level of communication satisfaction.

We experienced a case of congenital rubella syndrome manifesting patent ductus arteriosus, petechiae, microcephaly, intrauterine growth retardation, and hepatomegaly in one-day-old female newborn infant. Congenital rubella syndrome was confirmed by positive results of anti-rubella IgM in the sera of patient. Anti-rubella IgM was negative in the sera of mother, while anti-rubella IgG was positive.
