The morbidity of spondylolisthesis tends to increase in accordance with the popularization of sports and increase of mean life span by the development of medicine. We had applied surgical treatment for 39 cases of spondylolisthesis during the period of 8 yrs. from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1983 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Police Hospital, among them 35 cases were followed up for mean 27 months. Twenty eight cases with posterolateral spinal fusion were isthmic spondylolisthesis and seven cases with posterior spinal fusion and facetectomy were degenerative type. We analysed them with clinical aspects and surgical treatment for 35 cases. The results were as follows: 1. The most common clinical symptoms were low back pain (96.7%) and tenderness (93.5%). 2. The degree of slipping was Grade I by Meyerding's classification in all cases and mean 12.5% by Taillard method. 3. In the 7 cases of isthmic spondylolisthesis, the degree of slipping increased on standing lateral view. And in these cases the clinical symptoms were aggrevated at welking. 4. In the degenerative spondylolisthesis with posterior spinal fusion and facetectomy, we found mean 70% spontaneous correction of slipping commpared with preoperative. 5. In postoperative evaluation we gained 94.3% above good according to Gill's criteria and no pseudarthrosis.

Objective:
Optimism, social support, and spirituality can be important factors related to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) stress. However, studies investigating the influence and interplay of optimism, social support, and spirituality on COVID-19 simultaneously are still few. This study is aimed to explore the influence of optimism, social support, and spirituality on COVID-19 stress in the Christian church community.
Methods:
A total 350 participants were included in this study. This study was cross-sectionally conducted by using an online survey on optimism, social support, spirituality, and COVID-19 stress that were measured by the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS), Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and COVID-19 Stress Scale for Korean People (CSSK). The prediction models for COVID-19 stress were analyzed by using univariate and multiple linear regression.
Results:
Based on the results of univariate linear regression, subjective feelings on income (p<0.001) and health status (p<0.001), LOTR (p<0.001), MSPSS (p=0.025), and SWBS (p<0.001) scores were significantly associated with COVID-19 stress. The multiple linear regression model with subjective feelings on income and health status and SWSB score was significant (p<0.001) and explained 17.7% of the variance (R2=0.177).
Conclusion
This study showed that subjective feeling on low income, those who had poor health status, lower optimism, lower perceived social support, and lower spirituality were significantly affected with COVID-19 stress. Especially, the model with subjective feelings on income and health status, and spirituality showed highly significant effects, despite the interaction with associated factors. To cope with unpredictable stressful situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, integrated interventions on psycho-socio-spiritual aspect are warranted.
7.Effects of Early Cell Damage from Repetitive Intermittent Fever Exposure in Alopecia Progression and Evaluation of New Candidate Drugs: Ibuprofen, Menthol, and Cetirizine.
Korean Journal of Clinical Pharmacy 2016;26(3):187-194
BACKGROUND: Alopecia areata (AA) is a very disturbing and expensive disorder in which the exact etiology is not known and it is yet to be treated completely well. Most alopecia patients exhibit some inflammation in the hair follicles regardless of the causes. The clinical symptoms of alopecia present very diversely while the prime symptom is local intermittent fever which are related to inflamed cells. METHODS: This study aimed to evaluate how repetitive intermittent fever can damage the normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells and investigated the cytotoxic and proliferative effects after application of new candidate drugs (ibuprofen, menthol, cetirizine) for alopecia in comparison to minoxidil. RESULTS: This study demonstrated that ibuprofen, menthol, or/and cetirizine can prevent or slow down the damage of NHDF cells from intermittent fever in early alopecia. Aggressive preventative intervention with those drugs before complete destruction of hair follicle by excessive repetitive fever, is a very important step for alopecia therapy and these drugs are recommended as candidate drugs for alopecia in the future. CONCLUSION: Aggressive preventative intervention with drugs before complete destruction of hair follicles (NHDF cells) by excessive repetitive fever is a very important step for alopecia therapy or progression.

To analyzed the progression of white matter maturation and white matter pathology, MR imaging of the brain was obtained in 38 children with delayed development. Children with developmental delay showed a high incidence of MR abnormalities(34/38, 89.5%). Delayed pattern of myelination and gray-white matter differentiation was seen in 13 patients. Twenty-two patients had white matter patholgy, including 14 with white matter hypoplasia, seven with focal small infarction, five with periventricular leukomalacia, and three with high signal intensities on T2 weighted image. Associated structural abnormalities were also evaluated. The most common lesions in decreasing frequency were cerebral atrophy and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, pachygyria and/or polymicrogyria, porencephalic cyst and Leigh's disease. Twenty-three of 34 children had multiple abnormalities on MRI. The MRI was useful in depicting the progression of myelination and other white matter lesions, and serial follow-up MR is recommended for patients with delayed or lack of myelination and gray-white matter differentiation.
