Most craniosynostoses are sporadic, but may have an underlying genetic basis. Secondary and syndromic craniosynostosis accompanies various systemic diseases or associated anomalies. Early detection of an associated disease may facilitate the interdisciplinary management of patients and improve outcomes. For that reason, systematic evaluation of craniosynostosis is mandatory. The authors reviewed systematic evaluation of craniosynostosis with an emphasis on genetic analysis.

We report herein two cases of pachyonychia congenita in 19-month-old and 7-year-old girls. In addition to severely deformed nails, both had white plaques on the tongue and keratotic papules on the elbows and knees. In the 19-month-old girl, her father showed deformity of the nails and severe hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, The family history was normal in other case.

Because most of modern peoples are busy with many their task according to specialization and complexity of society, it is impportant to determine optimal and comfortable time of colonoscopy. So this study was designed to compare efficacy of colonic cleansing and patient acceptance according to the time of colonoseopy. Among 140 peoples who underwent colonoscoyy in Busan St. Benedict Hospital between March 1995 to August 1995, two groups of 70 peoples were randomly assigned to undergo colonoscopy either at A.M. or ~P.M. The results were as follows: 1) In view of efficacy rate of colonic cleansing, the group at P.M, was superior to the group at A.M.. 2) In view of patients acceptance and side effects, the group at P.M. showed better acceptance and less side effects than the group at A.M.. In conclusion, this study showed that the colonoscopy at P.M. is better than at A.M., especially when patient is poor systemic condition or low acceptance to colonoscopic cleansing preparation. However, it may be also acceptable undergoing colonoscopy at A.M. if patient condition is good and patient is busy with his task.

OBJECTIVE: We studied clinical characteristics of patients have endometriosis to provide basic knowledge for diagnosis, treatment, and futher study of endometriosis. METHODS: We have performed a retrospective clinical study on 163 patients diagnosed with endometriosis during laparotomy, cesarean section, laparoscopic surgery at our medical center from January, 2000 to December, 2004. RESULTS: Incidence of endometriosis was 4.38%. The more frequent occurrence was noted in the young women with low parity and in the nulliparous women. Most frequent symptom comprised dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal pain. 33.7% of patients were asymptomatic. And 82.3% of the patients were in stage III and IV. The frequent sites involved were ovaries, Cul-de sac, uterus, tubes, peritoneum and rectum in order. Frequently combind gynecologic disease were uterine myoma, benign ovarian tumor. In Stage III & IV, there are more patients, who had abnormal elevated serum CA 125 level than patients of stage I & II. CONCLUSION: Early diagnose and appropriate management of Endometriosis for young women can lowered the development of hihger stage case and it is important for fertility and better life quality.

PURPOSE: To ascertain the factors associated with the proportion of death certificate only (DCO) cases contained in the Kwangju Cancer Registry (KCR) that are not as yet in the good range. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The distribution of DCO cases was analyzed by sex, age, cancer site, histological verification (HV) as well as the physician's death certificate status. RESULTS: All cases (n=4,243) in Kwangju diagnosed as having cancer between 1997 and 1998 were registered with the KCR. Death certificates (n=2,390) reporting cancer as the causes of death were collected from the National Statistics Office and reviewed with hospital data linkage and a total of 590 cases were registered as DCO. DCOs accounted for 12.2% (male 12.8%, female 11.5%) of all registrations in Kwangju, 1997~1998. The proportion of DCO cases was high in subjects under 15 (male13.5%,female 9.4%) as well as those 75 and over (male 20.3%, female 27.2%). For cancer sites, the proportion of DCO cases was high (over 10%) for liver, bronchus-lung, esophagus and pancreas and low (under 3%) for skin, bladder, uteri cervix and breast. The proportion of DCO cases was inversely associated with HV%. When the death certificate was issued by physician, the possibility of DCO decreased. CONCLUSION: The proportion of DCO is positively associated with increasing age and negatively associated with HV% and the issuance of a physician's death certificate. These findings suggest that further socio-cultural efforts are required to reduce the DCO proportion.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cross-sectional association of the obesity with the knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a rural population. METHOD: We studied the cross-sectional asssociation between the obesity and the knee OA by analysis of data (Juam-Study based data) from an epidemiologic survey of a population of 1,100 adults who resided around the Juam lake in Chonnam. The recruited sampling were 475 adults above 40 years old. We diagnosed knee OA by typical clinical features such as bony swelling, crepitus and pain on movement and divided the subjects into non-OA group (143 males:148 females) and OA group (60 males:124 females). There is no difference in the mean ages of two groups. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated from a weight and height (kg/m2) and body fat percent (BFP) was measured by bioelectric impedance fatness analyzer (BIA). We defined obesity as a BMI over 30 kg/m2 in both sex or a BFP over 25% in male and over 30% in female. The BMI and BFP were 23.2 +/- 3.2 kg/m2, 24.0 +/- 7.5% in non-OA group and 23.5 +/- 3.4 kg/m2, 26.0 +/- 7.0% in OA group and were compared in two groups. RESULTS: 1) Prevalence odds ratio (POR) for risk factors of knee OA was high in seventh decade, female, a high cholesterol group, and a high BFP group, and was not high in BMI group. 2) There was no association between BMI and knee OA. 3) There was no association between BFP and knee OA. CONCLUSION: We were not able to prove the cross-sectional association between obesity and knee OA. The results suggested that knee OA was a heterogeneous disorder and more possibly influenced by multiple other factors, such as age, sex, and various metabolic abnormalities than obesity itself.
