X-linked ichthyosis is a hereditary dermatosis characterized by large dark and thick scaly skin of trunk, extremities, scalp and neck. Rare manifested ocular signs include scales on lid and lashes, corneal opacity, lens opacity, and peripheral retinal granular hyperpigmentation. The authors experienced a case of diffuse punctate corneal opacities observed in the deep stroma or pre- Descemet's layer which developed in a 12-year old male patient who visited our clinic complaining symtoms of itching and dark thick scales on trunk, extremities, and scalp since at birth a.nd diagnosed as X-linked ichthyosis by clinical and histologic features.

PURPOSE: There are few reports about the natural history of patients with pseudoprecocious puberty due to autonomous ovarian cyst. We reviewed the clinical course of 7 patients who had autonomous ovarian cysts and signs of precocious puberty. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 7 children, aged 2.8 to 7.9 years, who were diagnosed with pseudoprecocious puberty due to autonomous ovarian cysts from November 2005 to May 2011. The follow-up durations ranged from 0.5 to 6.3 years. RESULTS: Four out of 7 patients showed elevated serum estrogen levels and all revealed prepubertal response of gonadotropin to GnRH stimulation at diagnosis. The size of the cysts was from 1.7 to 4.6 cm on pelvic ultrasound examination. After 1 to 3 months, the ovarian cysts disappeared in all patients. Three of the girls developed relapsing signs of precocious puberty (vaginal bleeding and breast budding). Two of them showed an increase in growth velocity and bone age due to recurrent ovarian cysts, and one of them was converted to true precocious puberty. CONCLUSION: In our cases, all patients with autonomous ovarian cysts resolved spontaneously. However, some showed frequent recurrence of ovarian cysts, and needed a longer follow up because of the possibility of conversion to true precocious puberty and signs of McCune-Albright syndrome.

6.Arteriovenous Sheathotomy for Persistent Macular Edema in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion.

Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 2006;20(4):210-214
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of arteriovenous (AV) sheathotomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for persistent or recurrent macular edema after intravitreal triamcinolone injection and/or laser photocoagulation in branch retinal vein occlusion. METHODS: Twenty-two eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) with recurrent macular edema underwent vitrectomy with AV sheathotomy and internal limiting membrane peeling. All eyes had previous intravitreal triamcinolone injection and/or laser photocoagulation for macular edema. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and after surgery were compared. RESULTS: The mean preoperative BCVA (log MAR) were 0.79+/-0.29 and postoperative BCVA (log MAR) at 3 months was 0.57+/-0.33. And improvement of visual acuity > or =2 lines was observed in 10 eyes (45%). The mean preoperative fovea thickness measured by OCT was 595.22+/-76.83 micrometer (510-737 micrometer) and postoperative fovea thickness was 217.60+/-47.33 micrometer (164-285 micrometer). CONCLUSIONS: Vitrectomy with AV sheathotomy can be one treatment option for the patients with recurrent macular edema in BRVO.

7.Readmission in Neonatal Period among the Normal Full-term Neonates.

Korean Journal of Perinatology 2009;20(1):52-59
PURPOSE:This study was conducted to analyse the characteristics of the full-term neonates admitted in neonatal period and to evaluate the relationship between readmission and perinatal, maternal factors. METHODS:We studied retrospectively the neonatal readmissions who were born in Il Sin Christian Hospital during the 18-months period (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008). RESULTS:After discharge, 415 neonates were readmitted during the first month of life. The most common cause for readmission was jaundice (82.7%). Among them, 211 (61.5%) neonates were fully breast feeding and 119 (34.7%) were mixed feeding infants. The second cause was rota enteritis (6.3%). Others included dehydration (4.1%), suspected sepsis (3.1%), other enteritis (1.7%), pneumonia (0.7%), cardiac problem (0.5%), meningitis (0.5%), urinary tract infection (0.2%), and other urinary problem (0.2%). There were no significant relationships between readmission and neonatal, maternal factors. CONCLUSION:While newborns discharged from hospital are at risk for readmission, but relationship among neonatal, maternal, and other factors are not proven. Education of risk factors for jaundice to parents should be done and prevention of hospital acquired infection is important. Further research should include relationships between neonatal, maternal factors and the other factors influencing neonatal readmission.

9.Helicobacter pylori Infection in Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Users.
The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology 2014;64(2):70-75
NSAID-induced upper gastrointestinal (GI) damage occurs easily in people with a prior history of complicated or uncomplicated ulcers. Many recent clinical studies have proved the benefit of Helicobacter pylori eradication in NSAID users; however, the exact pathophysiologic relationship between concomitant H. pylori infection and NSAID use has not yet been fully elucidated. Testing and eradication of H. pylori are generally recommended in patients who are at a high risk for NSAID-induced GI damage. However, in high-risk patients, ulcer prophylaxis with proton pump inhibitor or misoprostol is needed even if H. pylori has been successfully eradicated. In low-risk patients, it is still questionable whether or not eradication of H. pylori can reduce upper GI damage. However, in western countries, due to its cost effectiveness, testing and eradication of H. pylori is recommended before starting aspirin or NSAID irrespective of the risk level. In regions with a high prevalence of H. pylori infection (>20%), the usefulness of testing and eradication of H. pylori has not yet been determined.
