Chylothorax is the most common cause of pleural effusion in the neonatal period and is defined as an effusion of lymph in the pleural cavity. We report a case of chylothorax in a 13-day-old male who was admitted due to respiratory difficulty. Chest AP showed pleural effusion of the left lung and milky yellow fluid was aspirated via thoracentesis upon which laboratory and lipoprotein electrophoresis of pleural fluid revealed findings compatible with that of chylothorax. Due to reaccumulation of chyle after daily thoracentesis, chest tube was inserted at the 4th hospital day, and MCT containing diet was given. He was discharged on the 21st hospital day in good health, and revealed no recurrence for 3 months during outpatient follow up visits.

ICAM-l(Intercellular adhesion molecule-1) is an important early marker of immune activation and response. ICAM-1 is expressed on varous cell types and observed in a variety of diseases, including patients with asthma, melanoma, prostatic cancer, ovarian and colon cancer. Some authors demonstrated the expression of ICAM-1 protein in high-grade intraepithelial squamous neoplasia of cervix by immunohistochemistry and suggested that the expression was related to human papillomavirus infection. The aim of this study was to determine the serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, Serum levels of sICAM-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), We evaluate invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix (40), carcinoma in situ (16) and control (15) patients. Serum levels of sICAM-1 in healthy volunteers, in parients with carcinoma in situ and invasive cervical cancer were 150.1+/-41.3, 182.7+/-105.9, 189.8+/-60.0 ng/ml, respectively. Although the serum levels of sICAM-1 in patients with carcinoma in situ did not increase, serum levels of ICAM-1 in patients with invasive cervical cancer were significantly increased (control vs invasive cervical cancer, p < 0,05). From the above results, sICAM-1 is shed from the cancerous tissue in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

BACKGROUNDs: A retrospective study was performed to define objective radiologic parameters in diagnosing epiglottitis on soft-tissue lateral neck radiographic study. METHODS: Parameters of soft-tissue structures(epiglottis width, third vertebral body width, ratio of epiglottic width to third vertebral body width) in 30 adult patients compared with those of age and sex-matched controls with foreign body in throat whose radiographic reading was normal. RESULTS: Epiglottis width of more than 11mm, ratio of epiglottis width(EW) to the third vertebral body width(C3W) of more than 0.5 were, respectively, found to be 100% sensitive and specific in differentiating between patients with and without epiglottitis. CONCLUSION: These preliminary results suggest that EW/C3W ratio of more than 0.5, EW of more than 11mm, respectively, may be useful in the diagnosis of epiglottitis in adult patients.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;30(5):929-933
PURPOSE: To determine the plain film findings of acute neuropathic joint in diabetic foot. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Acute neuropathic joint in diabetic foot was considered when fragmentation of the articular ends of bone and subluxation of the affected joint developed within eight weeks after clinical onset of diabetic gangrene. Eight toes of six diabetics were satisfactory to our criteria. We analyzed plain radiographic findings of the affected joint and soft tissue, interval changes in follow-up radiographs, and deformities after healing. RESULTS: The time interval between clinical onset of gangrene and bone destruction ranged from 2 weeks to 4 weeks(mean 2.6 weeks). Plain radiographs showed fragmentation of the articular ends, subluxation, and soft tissue swelling of the metatarsophalangeal joint or interphalangeal joint. The significant feature of these patients was rapid progression of the lesions. Clinically, all patients had diabetic gangrene in affected toes, however, there was no evidence of osteomyelitis in our series. Amputation was done in 2 cases, and lesions in 3 of the remaining 4 cases were repaired spontaneously with regression of gangrene, leaving radiological residua such as pointed-end, tapered-end, and ball and socket deformity. CONCLUSION: Rapid disorganization of the joint with associated evidence of soft tissue gangrene in plain radiograph is believed to be valuable for the diagnosis of diabetic osteoarthropathy.

Among the 413 patients of the lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus(HNP) who were admitted and treated at Dong-A University Hospital from March 1990 to May 1994, we analyzed 387 patients who checked magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). MRI study followed by open disectomy was carried out on 127 patients of the lumbar HNP, and we analyzed the clinical and operative findings of the lumbar HNP and compared these with MRI findings. The following results were obtained. 1. MRI findings of 387 patients consisted of bulging discs in 107 cases(27.6%), protruded discs in 165 cases(42.6%), extruded subligamentous discs in 73 cases(18.9%), extruded transligamentous discs in 34 cases(8.8%) and sequestered discs in 8 cases(2.1%). 2. MRI findings of 127 patients who had been treated with open discectomy consisted of protruded discs in 53 cases(41.7%), extruded subligamentous discs in 47 cases(37.0%), extruded transligamentous discs in 19 cases(15.0%) and sequestered discs in 8 cases(6.3%). 3. Operative findings revealed the protruded discs: 49 cases(38.6%), extruded subligamentous discs: 52 cases(40.9%), extruded transligamentous discs: 18 cases(14.2%) and sequestered discs: 8 cases(6.3%). 4. In sequestered disc, we could get the highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with MRI in distinguishing from another type of lumbar HNP. MRI can be available for accurate assessment of type and location of the lumbar HNP and it can show the high specificity, sensitivity and accuracy in preoperative diagnostic method.

10.Visual Acuity in Childhood Astigmatism.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1998;39(9):2160-2164
Astigmatism may influence the development of amblyopia and possibly also the development of refractive errors. The length of the sensitive period and the minimum amount of astigmatism necessary to produce significant amblyopia are not yet clearly defined. The authors performed this clinical study to evaluate visual acuity of childhood astigmatism aged from 3 to 5 years. Of the 152 astigmatic eyes studied, the amount of astigmatism ranged from 1 to 2D was found in 46 eyes; 2 to 3 in 68' 3 to 4 in30 and 8eyes revealed over 4D. With-the-rule astigmatism was found in 120 eyes and against-the-rule stigmatism were in 3 eyes. With-the-rule astigmatism was more frequent than against-the-rule astigmatism. Of the 152 eye examined, the corrected visual acuity lower than 0.1 was found in 9 eyes; 0.1 to 0.3 in 54; 0.4 to 0.6 in 69; the rest 20 eyes showed relatively good, might be caused by astimatism was detected in 132 eyes.
