4.Macrodactylism Associated with Neurofibroma of the Medial nerve: A Case Report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1971;6(3):265-268
Macrodactyly is a rare congenital malformation characterized by an increase in the size of all the elements or structures of a digit or digits. The phalanges, tendons, vessels, subcutaneous fat, finger nails, and skin are all enlarged, but the metacarpals are not affected. The condition is most frequently found in the index and long fingers, and its etiology remains unexplained. Macrodactylism associated with neurofibroma of the median nerve in the left middle finger, in a 13 year old girl, is presented with a review of the literature, and diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination. Chief complaints were enlargement of the left middle finger and a soft tissue mass in the left palm since birth. There was no change in motor and sensory function of the hand. X-ray showed enlargement of phalanges and a diffusely enlarged soft tissue shadow in the middle finger. We performed epiphysiodesis of the proximal, middle and distal phalanges of the left middle finger with exploration of the left median nerve to the wrist joint. An enlarged fibromatous median nerve, left side, was found with very large abundant fat lobules around it.

Pathological laughing and crying(PLC) is a condition that is characterized by episodic, brief, contextually inappropriate, uncontrollable outbursts of laughing and/or crying. It can be observed in patients with various neurological disorders. PLC often causes distress in interpersonal functioning and activities for patients and their families. PLC can be recognized easily with proper understanding of the condition and its nature. Also it generally shows good response to various pharmacological treatments. This review aims to encourage the diagnosis and treatment of PLC by providing definition and clinical presentation of PLC, analysis of its pathophysiology and various current treatment options.

8.Interleukin-1 beta , -2, -6 Production, Serum Concentration and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis in Patients with Major Depression.
Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association 1998;37(3):537-547
The present study was carried out in order to investigate the relationship between immune function and the activity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA) axis in patients with major depression. The subjects were 16 female major depressives and 16 female healthy controls. We measured mitogen-induced production of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-6 and serum level of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-6 and basal plasma cortisol levels at 8 00 a.m. We measured post-DST(dexamethasone suppression test) cortisol levels in 16 major depressives. The result were as follows : 1) Basal cortisol level was significantly higher in the patients with major depression than in the healthy controls(14.4+/-4.6 microgram/dl, 10.1+/-5.2microgram /dl, respectively, p<0.05). 2) IL-2 production was significantly lower in the patients with major depression than in the healthy controls(1747.3+/-387.9 pg/ml, 2520.2+/-884.1 pg/ml, respectively, p<0.05). There were no significant differences in IL-1 beta and IL-6 production between the patients with major depression and the healthy controls. 3) Serum level of IL-2 was detectable in 12 of 16 patients with major depression and in 10 of 16 healthy controls. There was no significant difference in serum level of IL-2 between two groups. Serum level of IL-1 beta was detectable in 3 of 16 patients with major depression and of 16 healthy controls. We could not detect serum level of IL-6 in both groups. 4) There was significant negative correlation between IL-2 production and post-DST cortisol level(r= -0.89) in the 16 patients with major depression. There was significant negative correlation between serum level of IL-2 and post-DST cortisol level(r= -0.97) in the 12 patients with major depression. There was significant negative correlation between serum level of IL-2 and basal cortisol level(r= -0.65) in the 12 patients with major depression. But there was no significant correlation between IL-2 production and basal cortisol level in the 16 patients with major depression. These findings suggest that immune function is decreased in major depression and the decreased immune function is highly related to the hyperactivity of the HPA axis.

The congenital dislocation of the hip is one of the most common congenital disease of the infants. The diagnosis and treatment of comgemital dislocation of the hip has been developcd since Lorenz published the methods of the closed reduction and immobilization in 1895. By replacing the displaced femoral head in the acetabular socket in early time, the normal development of acetabulum and femoral head were expected. So the early diagnosis and treatment were very important for good results. The authors studied 19 cases of 18 patients of congenital dislocation of the hip at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Hanyang University Hospital from June, 1972 to June, 1977. As results of this study, the following concolusion were result reached: 1. The proponderance of girl to boy was 13: 5. 2. The ratio of left side to right was 12:7. 3. The chief complaints were shortening of lower extremity, limitation of hip motion(esp. abduction) below 1 year old age and limping in over 1 year old age. 4. The associated congenital anomaly was abserved in a case of internal tibial torsion and metatarsus varus deformity. 5. In birth history, there was 1 case of breech presentation. 6. The acetabular index was much decreased in involved hip than the sound hip in treatment. 7. The arthrogram was valuable to detect any obstacles of closed reduction. 8. In 16 cases of 15 patients, 13 cases were treated by closed reduction, 1 case was open reduction, 1 case was derotation osteotomy, 1 case was varus and derotation osteotomy. 9. The results of treatment was Excellent:8 Good:8.
