Bilateral jumped facets dislocation in upper thoracic spine is rare injury because the thoracic spine is relatively immobile structure. We experienced a case of T2-3 dislocation without fracture and successfully reduced the dislocation after partial resection of the superior articular process of the third thoracic spine and performed fixation and fusion from T1 to T4 with pedicle screw system.

The presense of the esophageal varices might have a partial machanical obstruction and cushion effect on esophageal lumen due to blood within the varices. It may affect on the motility and acid clearance in the esophagus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acid clearance and the esophageal motility according to the degree of the varices in patients with esophageal varices. We have performed esophageal manometry and acid clearance test in 41 patients with esophageal varices. Esophageal motility disorder was abserved in 29.4% of patients with esophageal varices. The number of swallowing for acid clearance was significantly increased in patients with esophageal varices than control group(23.5 +/- 14.1 Vs 6.1 +/- 1.6, p=0.004). However, there was no significant corelation with form, location, and redcolor sign of the varices. In conclusion, patients with esophageal varices accompanied esophageal motility disorders and delayed acid clearance. This results might be a useful referance data for changes in esophageal motility before and after treatment of esophageal varices.

PURPOSE: Infrared thermometers are increasingly used as a convenient, non-invasive assessment method for febrile children. However, the diagnostic accuracy of the infrared thermometer for children has been questioned, particularly in relation to sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of infrared thermometers in febrile children. METHODS: Articles published between 1966 and 2012 from periodicals indexed in the Ovid Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, KoreaMed, NDSL, KERIS and other databases were selected, using the following keywords: 'infrared thermometer'. The QUADAS-II was applied to assess the internal validity of the diagnostic studies. Selected studies were analyzed using meta-analysis with MetaDisc 1.4. RESULTS: Nineteen diagnostic studies with high methodological quality, involving 4,304 children, were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity and AUC (Area Under the Curve) of infrared tympanic thermometers in children over 1 year were 0.80 (95% CI 0.78, 0.81), 0.94 (95% CI 0.93, 0.95) and 0.95 respectively. However the diagnostic accuracy of infrared tympanic thermometers in children with hyperthermia was low. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic accuracy of infrared tympanic thermometer was similar to axillary and rectal thermometers indicating a need for further research to substantiate these findings in children with hyperthermia.

BACKGROUND: The cornified cell envelope (CE) is a unique structure found in the terminal differentiation of the skin. The precursor proteins of the CE are composed of many candidate structural proteins, among which invalucrin and filaggrin are important ones to participate in the complicated process of forming, the complex structure. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of expression of involucrin and filaggrin as markers of terminal differentiation in various skin disorders including tumors. METHODS: Immunohistochemical studies were performed in the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin samples of non-tumors (41 cases) and tumors (43 cases).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 protein is known to be one of putative envelope proteins. To develop a sensitive detection method for HCV infected tissues and cells, monoclonal antibodys (MAbs) to the E2 protein of HCV were prepared from mice immunized with recombinant baculovirus-expressing E2 protein (Bac-E2). Several hybridoma clones secreting various levels of MAb were isolated and isotypes of these MAb were determined. One clone (L.2.3.3) was used for ascites production and the E2-MAb was purified and characterized. The L.2.3.3 reacted well with both Bac-E2 and E. coli expressed glutathione-5-transferase-E2 (GST-E2) fusion proteins. Using HCV patient sera, E2 envelope protein was found to be localized in the cell membrane boundary both in CHO cells and insect cells which express HCV E2 protein. Similar result was obtained when same cells were treated with the MAb L.2.3.3. These results demonstrated that Bac-E2 protein is capable of eliciting high titer antibody production in mice.

9.Clinical Experiences of Continent Urinary Diversion.

The socially acceptable control of urine is the critical problem to the patient to be diversed of his urinary stream. From the first description of a urinary diversion by Simon in 1852, various methods for urinary diversion were described and modified. But, incontinence and application of a collecting device made the patients and surgeons disappointing, so that the hope for a safe, clean, comfortable and continent urinary diversion has been increasing in the field of urology. From the 1985, we experienced Kock continent ileal reservoir in 7 patients and ureterosigmoidostomy in 4 patients (total: 11 patients), who had all invasive bladder carcinoma.
