PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relative surgical risk and problems in hip hemiarthroplasty for treatment of an unstable intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients over 80 years old. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between April 2005 and May 2010, 58 patients whose age was over 80 years were available for inclusion in this study. They were divided into two groups: group 1 included 30 patients with femoral neck fracture and group 2 included 28 patients with intertrochanteric fracture. No significant differences in average age, concomitant disease, and walking ability before development of fracture were noted between the two groups. The following factors, including interval from development of fracture to operation, operation time, amount of blood loss, start time of walking after operation, duration of hospital stay, complications, revision rate, and walking ability were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Operation time was an average of 85.2 minutes in group 1 and 97.5 minutes in group 2(P=0.03). The amount of bleeding was an average of 483 cc in group 1 and 695 cc in group 2(P=0.006). Similar results for walking start and recovery of walking ability after operation were observed in the two groups. No significant differences were observed in duration of hospital stay, complications, and revision rate. While 25 patients in group 1(83.3%) showed restoration of walking ability after operation to the same level of walking before injury, 19 patients in group 2(67.8%) showed restoration of walking ability postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Even though patients in group 2 showed a longer operation time and a higher amount of blood loss, compared with those in group 1, patients in group 2 had similar surgical risk and complications, compared with those in group 1. Therefore, primary hip hemiarthropalsty could be a good treatment option for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly.

Although many reports have been published about Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, developmental dysplasia of hip, it is difficult to gain a satisfactory results in treatment. We experienced 9 year-old girl with ipsilateral neglected DDH combined with contralateral LCPD, and treated with Klisic operation for DDH and femoral valgus osteotomy for hinged abduction of LCPD. We gained satisfactory results and report this rare case.

Inappropriate treatment of the injury of the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle produce residual instability, which causes serious disability. There is considerable divergence of opinion as to whether fresh rupture of the lateral ligaments of the ankle are best treated by conservative or opreative method. We have conducted a trial to analyze thirty patients, who were treated by immediate open surgical rupair of rupture of the lateral ligaments of the ankle between April 1991 and February 1992. The results were as follows: 1. All patients were active, young men, Injuries to left ankle were three times more than right side. The most common cause of injury is occurred during sports, especially association football. 2. The decision to operate was based on 1)Talar tilt angle of the injured ankle measures 8-10 degrees more than that of the stress uninjured ankle. 2)A positive arthrogram showing contrast leakage into peroneal tendon she-aths & anterolateral aspect of the lateral malleolus. 3. Diagnostic accuracy rate of arthrography is 94.5%, stress radiography 61.1 %. Arthrography is more reliable than stress radiography in the diagnosis of acute injuries to the lateral ligament of the ankle. 4. At operation, isolated rupture of anterior talofibular ligament was in 5 cases, isolated rupture of middle calcaneofibular ligament in 3 cases, concomittant ruptures of anterior talofibular and middle calcaneofibular ligements in 22 cases. 5. Location of tears of anterior talofibular ligament was mostly mid-portion, middle calcaneofibular ligament in mid-portion or distal portion. 6. On radiologic results, average angle of talar tilt was 14.4° preoperatively, 5.2 preoperatively. There was correction of talar tilt angle of average 9.2°. 7. Clinical results of treatment were excellent in 9 patients, good in 6 patients, fair in 4 patients, poor in 2 patients by authors rating system. The satisfactory result was achieved in 15 patients(71.4%). 8. Postoperative complication was reduced mobility in 4 cases, functional instability 1 case, neuroma in operation scar in 2 cases, minor sensory loss in 4 cases. 9. Primary surgical repair gave good results in the aspect of radiologic & fun ctional instability, but clinical results were not satisfactory, due to high incidence of postoperative complication.

OBJECTIVES: Thyroid cancer patients may experience emotional distress during cancer treatment including surgical operation and radioactive iodine treatment. The aims of this prospective study were to investigate changes of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC) under preoperative, postoperative and short-term hypothyroidism state. METHODS: Using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale(HAD) and the Distress Thermometer, we sequentially assessed the levels of anxiety, depression and distress in 41 DTC patients at 3 time points such as preoperative state, postoperative state and short-term hypothyroidism state. RESULTS: The HAD-anxiety score was significantly higher in preoperative state(6.93+/-3.97) than postoperative state(4.22+/-2.92) and short-term hypothyroidism state(4.93+/-3.64). Any other significant change in depression or distress thermometer score was not observed. Especially, difference of HADS score between the distress and none-distress groups was significant in preoperative state and post-operative state, but the difference become not significant in the short-term hypothyroidism state. CONCLUSIONS: Induced thyroid hormone deficiency during cancer treatment does not significantly affect emotional distress in patient with DTC. Anxiety and depression in these patients may be associated with distress of the patient before active cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to determine the relations of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and parameters of nerve conduction study (NCS) in diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy patients. METHOD: Prospectively, total 40 patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus were included in the study. NCS was performed on median, ulnar, posterior tibial, deep peroneal, superficial peroneal, and sural nerves. Distal latency and conduction velocity (CV) of compound muscle action potential (CMAP), distal latency and amplitude of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) were used as parameters of NCS. Multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relations of HbA1c and parameters of NCS, after adjustment for age, height, weight, and disease duration of diabetes mellitus. RESULTS: HbA1c level had an inverse relation to CV of median motor nerve (beta= 1.272, p<0.01), ulnar motor nerve (beta= 1.287, p<0.01), posterior tibial nerve (beta= 0.982, p<0.05), and deep peroneal nerve (beta= 1.449, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study indicates that HbA1c level was inversely related to motor nerve CV, and that sustained hyperglycemia may be involved in demyelination of motor nerves. Analysis of motor nerve CV related to HbA1c is expected to be useful in the follow-up or efficacy study of diabetes mellitus neuropathy as baseline data.

PURPOSE: Either gated myocardial perfusion SPECT or attenuation corrected SPECT can be used to improve specificity in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. We investigated in this study whether gating or attenuation correction improved diagnostic performance of rest/stress perfusion SPECT in patients having intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-eight patients underwent rest attenuation-corrected T1-20l/dipyridamole stress gated attenuation-corrected Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT using an ADAC vertex camera (M:F=29:39, aged 59+/-12 years, coronary artery stenosis> or =70%. one vessel: 13, two vessel: 18, three vessel: 8, normal: 29). Using a five-point scale, three physicians graded the post-test likelihood of coronary artery disease for each arterial territory (1 normal, 2: possibly normal 3:equivocal, 4: possibly abnormal, 5: abnormal). Sensitivity, specificity and area under receiver-operating-characteristic curves were compared for each operator between three METHODS: (A) non-attenuation-corrected SPECT; (B) gated SPECT added to (A); and (C) attenuation-corrected SPECT added to (B). RESULTS: When grade 3 was used as the criteria for coronary artery disease, no differences in sensitivity and specificity were found between the three methods for each operator Areas under receiver- operating-characteristic curves for diagnosis of coronary artery disease revealed no differences between each modality (p>005). CONCLUSION: In patients at intermediate risk of coronary artery disease, gated SPECT and attenuation-corrected SPECT did not improve diagnostic performance.

PURPOSE:Autonomic neuropathy in adult diabetics is known to be common and poor in prognosis. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy increases sudden cardiac death and is present before apparant cardiac symptoms. Subclinical diabetic peripheral neuropathy is common with type 1 diabetes. In children, few studies for subclinical peripheral neuropathy and cardiac autonomic neuropathy were reported but the results were inconsistent. The authors investigated subclinical cardiac and peripheral neuropaties and evaluated correlation between nerve conduction velocity(NCV) and cardiac autonomic function(CAF) test in type 1 diabetic children and adolescents METHODS:Over 5 years from 1997 to 2002, 27 IDDM without clinical neuropathy were registered. Total 57 CAF and NCV were tested every 2 or 3 years. Duration of diabetes, average HbA1c during 1 year prior to the test, and urinary microalbumin excretion for 24 hours were assessed. Diabetic autonomic nervous function was evaluated by cardiovascular reflex test:falling systolic blood pressure in response to standing, heart rate changes in response to standing, beat-to-beat rate variation during deep breathing, RR interval change during and after Valsalva maneuver. Subclinical peripheral neuropathy was evaluated by NCV in both upper and lower extremities. Correlation of parameters according to NCV abnormality and microalbuminuria were analyzed. RESULTS:The age, duration of diabetes and microalbuminuria were not statistically different between children with normal and abnormal NCV. The level of HbA1c was associated with NCV abnormality. In a multivariate logistic model for NCV abnormality, level of HbA1c showed statistical significance after controlling the effects of age, duration of diabetes, and urinary microalbumin level, and the odd ratio was 1.532. The degree of CAF abnormality was marginally significant in the logistic model. Children with microalbuminuria showed older age and longer duration of diabetes than those without microalbuminuria. However, mean HbA1c level was not significantly different between the two groups. Degree of CAF abnormality was not significantly associated with microalbuminuria, either. In a general linear model including urinary albumin level as the dependent variable, none of independent variables was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Therapy against neuropathy should be considered in patients with high HbA1c and abnormal CAF test even without clinically apparent neuropathy.
