To determine the perinatal mortality and morbidity of fetuses with absent end-diastolic velocities (AEDV) of the umbilical artery in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, the outcome of 5 fetuses with AEDV was compared with that of 35 fetuses with positive end-diastolic velocities (PEDV). The study population comprised 38 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and 2 cases of eclampsia with structurally normal singletons, who had had umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry weekly from admission to delivery. The Doppler velocimetry result was not used for the clinical management. Perinatal death and neonatal morbidity from both groups were further examined in gestational age category to control the influence of preterm births. The incidence of AEDV of the umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia was 12.5% (5/40). The AEDV group had a significantly higher incidence than the PEDV group in terms of ceasarean section due to fetal distress (60% : 17%), Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes (60% : 14%), perinatal death (25% : 0%) and assisted mechanical ventilation (67% : 9%) both at 32-36 weeks. Time intervals from the detection of AEDV to delivery of live neonates varied from the day to 15 days. In conclusion, AEDV in the umbilical artery might be of clinical value in routine surveillance of pregnancies complicated by severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, and predict hypoxic fetal condition which needs operative interventions before or during labor and mechanical ventilation after birth.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare and generally asymptomatic benign tumor of mature adipose tissue that is located in direct apposition to the external surface of the bone. These tumors are occasionally associated with reactive changes in the underlying bone. The reactive bone formation is generally restricted to the base of the tumor, that is, near the periosteum. We recently experienced a case of parosteal lipoma in the proximal femur, which displayed exuberant bone and cartilage formation, and this led us to a misdiagnosis of chondroblastic osteosarcoma on the initial biopsy. We report here on this case with a special emphasis on making the differential diagnosis from osteosarcoma.

OBJECTIVE: The dressing is the basic human need and daily activity. Clothing have the function of self expression as well as self protection. The clothing behavior is closely related to psychic world and one's emotion. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between clothing behavior as daily activity and depressive mood as popular human emotion. METHOD: Outpatients with depressive disorder (N =88) were selected among those visiting Chonnam National University hospital. Those who had been diagnosed as depressive disorder and treated were selected by reviewing of medical records. Questionnaires for clothing behavior were initially selected from previous studies and finally 25 questions were chosen through preliminary study. Depressive symptom scales were rated by Beck Depressive Inventory (BDI). We compared the two groups divided by BDI score of 16 on 5 variable elements about clothing behavior and evaluated correlation between depressive mood and clothing behavior. RESULTS: The psychologic dependency and clothing satisfaction were related to depression. The psychologic dependency was defined as appropriate clothing behavior relieving depressive mood, but unsatisfying clothing makes one humble, so one's dressing is affected by one's mood. This psychologic dependency was high in depressive group and had positive correlation with severity of depressive symptoms. The clothing satisfaction defined as satisfaction about clothes, clothing selection and clothed self image was reversely related with severity of depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION: We found that depressive men had unsatisfying clothing behavior as they had diminished satisfaction about self and feelings of worthlessness. And the clothing behavior functions as reaction formation about depression to overcome inner depressive and empty state in depressive one. These results, on the relationship between clothing behavior and depressive mood provide the need and possibility about therapeutic meaning of clothing for depressive people.
