Travel-acquired dengue cases have been increasing as the overall global dengue burden has expanded. In Korea, imported dengue cases have been reported since 2000 when it first became a notifiable disease. During the first four months of 2016, three times more dengue cases were reported in Korea than during the same period the previous year. A safe and efficacious vaccine for travelers would be beneficial to prevent dengue disease in individual travelers and potentially decrease the risk of virus spread to non-endemic areas. Here, we summarize the characteristics of dengue vaccines for travelers and review dengue vaccines currently licensed or in clinical development.

PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to obtain better clinical insights and therapeutic approaches to the diverticular diseases of the colon by identifying the clinical characteristics of the right and left colonic diverticular diseases. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of 68 colonic diverticular patients treated between August of 1986 and July of 1997. Right colonic diverticular disease was present in 55 patients, left side disease in eight patients, and bilateral disease in five patients. According to the location of the colonic diverticular disease, various clinical parameters such as the nature of the diverticula, age and sex, diagnostic accuracy, and methods of treatment were assessed. RESULTS: The average age of 68 patients in this study was 50.94 years. Fifty two patients were male and sixteen were female. The disease was far more common in the right colon (80.9%) than the left colon (11.7%) and the right colonic diverticular disease was the most common source of confusion in diagnosis from acute appendicitis. Conservative management was tried in 30 of 35 patients above age 50 and obtained a good result without any complication. CONCLUSIONS: There has been a tendency toward increased incidence of annual colonic diverticular diseases in this study. The right colonic diverticular disease was far more common than the left side disease and the disease was more common in the male. In patients above age 50, initial conservative management is a reasonable approach, although early surgical exploration might be better in younger patients. Acute appendicitis should be ruled out before any treatment decision was made.

Osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures contribute a large part of the medical cost in developed countries. Considering the preventive effect of osteoporotic medications, high rate of mortality and complications, poor quality of life after osteoporosis related fractures, the growing trend of older populations in the future, osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures are important targets of preventive treatment and also targets of socioeconomic cost reduction. Treating osteoporosis and preventing osteoporosis related fractures have become an essential element in Korean medical system. Despite the various differences in the health care system, hospitals in many other countries are operating fracture liaison service and they have confirmed its cost-effectiveness. In Korea's health care system, further research on cost-effectiveness as well as its clinical effects is needed.

PURPOSE: As in the case of the deep second-degree burn, proper eschar elimination and early epithelization is essential for spontaneous healing without surgical intervention. Accordingly, we have treated with using early dermabrasion and appling frozen cultured allogenic keratinocyte patients in deep second degree burns an eschar formed. METHODS: From January 2011 to January 2012 at Kepco medical center, we selected 46 patients who were suffered from deep second degree burn formed an eschar were enrolled. Patients were divided into two parts, study and control group. Study group were performed dermabrasion within first 3 days to 10 days of the injury and then applied frozen cultured allogenic keratinocyte. control group were managed moist dressing using hydrocolloid gel, form and alginate materials. We tried to prove its clinical efficacy by researching the period of wound healing, percentage of skin graft, and hospital days under chart review and photograph. RESULTS: In study group, the mean period of wound healing was 15.13+/-4.18 (mean+/-S.D.) days, and that of the hospitalization was 16.65+/-5.31 (mean+/-S.D.) days. For the 3 patients without the epithelization, skin graft was conducted. As for the control group, the mean period of wound healing was 24.22+/-2.79 (mean+/-S.D.) days, and that of the hospitalization was 28.30+/-3.33 (mean+/-S.D). 21 patients were conducted skin grafts. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, we concluded that the treatment in deep second degree burn patients eschar formed using early dermabrasion and frozen cultured allogenic keratinocyte is effective in reducing the duration of period of wound healing, hospital day and rate of skin graft.

A twenty-three year old korean officer was exposed accidentally to high-tension electric current(22,900 voltage). He lost consciousness for about three days. The point of entry was the palm area of the right hand and the point of exit was the lateral area of the right thigh. He sustained second and third degree burn on the exposed area and face, neck, anterior chest, abdomen, right thigh. He subsequently developed yellow-gray foveolar lesion and macular hole, cataract, and iritis with central visual-loss in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated the area of retinal pigment epithelial disruption. We suspected that it was electric current induced full-thickness macular hole, not photochemical macular hole, because his companion did not seeing a bright flash light and successively central visual loss.
