OBJECTIVE: Hysterectomy is one of the most common gynecological operations. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of suturing methods of vaginal cuff between laparoscopic and vaginal approach. METHODS: One hundred and sixty one cases of laparoscopic hysterectomy were devided into two groups. In group A(n=67), vaginal cuff was sutured by laparoscopic suture technique and in group B(n=94), vaginal cuff was repaired by vaginal approach. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in uterine weight, hospital stay, pre-and postoperative hemoglobin level and complications including febrile morbidity in two groups. Operation time was significantly shorter in group B(p=0.05). CONCLUSION: Transvaginal repair of vaginal cuff showed shorter duration of operation time than laparoscopic suture technique in total laparoscopichy sterectomy.

BACKGROUND: Computerized topography(CT) is the method of choice for establishing patients with abdominal and/or pelvic trauma. However, the sensitivity of CT far detecting bladder rupture has been questioned. We investigated the roles of CT as the initial evaluation of abdominal and pelvic trauma in diagnosis of bladder rupture. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records and radiographs of 53 patients with bladder rupture for last 5 year. And among them, all radiographs of 30 patients who underwent both CT and retrograde cystography were evaluated independently by two urologists who had no knowledge of the patients' final diagnosis. RESULTS: Among 30 patients, all of patients were correctly diagnosed by retrograde cystography, but the CT diagnosis was correct in only 23 patients(76.7%), who were 17 patients(85.0%) with intraperitoneal rupture and 6 patients(60%) with extraperitoneal rupture. And of the 7 patients who were negative by the CT, all showed the sign of inadequate bladder distension. CONCLUSION: We suggest that CT, if properly performed with adequate bladder filling, is as sensitive for detection of bladder injuries as conventional cystography. Especially, in trauma patients with hematuria and suspected other organ injury, CT-cystography with retrograde filing may be as accurate as conventional cystography and obviate the need for an additional plain film cystography,

A case of tinea unguium caused by Aspergillus sydowi in 45 year old female was described. Through the literature this was the first case report in Korea, The characteristic clical findings noted the yellowish discoloration of the affeced nail which including KOH wet mount and culture.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the expressions of alpha-1 -antichymotrypsin(ACT) and/or p53 protein in advanced prostate cancer were related with bony metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The immunohistochemical study with ACT and p53 included 7 archival transurethral resection and 14 prostate biopsy specimens from patients with prostate cancer who showed high serum PSA level(>10ng/ml) and periprostatic or lymph node involvement on imaging study. Whole body bone scan was perfomed to detect bony metastatis in all patients. RESULTS: Four out of 5 cases showing strong expression patterns with ACT protein showed abnormal hot uptakes on whole body bone scan. ACT proteins were weakly expressed in seven out of eight cases without bony metastases. p53 protein was expressed in 13 cases, but there was no statistically significant relation between the expression of p53 protein and bony metastasis. Either, there was no significant relation between ACT and p53 protein expression patterns. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested that the strong expression of ACT protein combined with high serum PSA level(>10ng/ml) and whole body bone scan could be the useful method for confirming bony metastasis although not adequate for screening test. The expression of p53 protein appears to be associated with progression of prostate cancer, but there was no statistically significant relation with bony metastasis.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare disease and the lesions are indistinguishable, clinically and histologically, from lymphangiectasis. The only difference is that lymphangiectasis is usually bilateral and develops in adult or late life, ie, condary to irradiation, surgical interruption, or some malignancies, but lymphangioma circumscriptum is congenital disease or develops soon after birth.

In a retrospective study of 21 patients, in whom the acetabular fractures were suspected on initialradiographs, we compared and analysed the CT findings and plain radiographic findings and plain radiographicfindings. The results were as follow: 1. In patients with multiple trauma, no further change in position wasrequeired during CT examinations. 2. CT showed intraarticular loose bodies, which were invisible on plainradiographs. 3. CT was useful in detecting the fractures of acetabular rims, medial wall of acetabulum, andfemoral head. 4. CT permitted better evaluation of shape, extent, and degree of separation of fracture fragments.5. CT was helpful indetecting the associated fractures and soft tissue injuries. 6. CT also demonstrated theadequacy of reduction, the position of metallic fixation devices, and the presence or absence of remainingintraarticular osseous fragments after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Although the rate of smoking in adults is decreasing, its rate in adolescents keeps increasing gradually. Especially, smoking in adolescents is a serious problem that may be deeply related to drug abuse and is the main cause of a number of diseases. Anti-smoking program is essential to prevent this matter. Therefore, analysis of smoking status and its related factors in adolescents in a region where such a program was performed may be useful. METHODS: Questionnaire-survey was performed on 1,516 students of six high schools in a city who wished to participate in the anti-smoking program and analyzed the results concerning smoking status and the related factors on 1,380 students which consisted of 862(62.5%) males and 518(37.5%) females who completed the questionnaire. RESULTS: Smoking prevalences were 40.1% in males and 17.6% in females. Height, weight, educational level of parents and occupation of father were assessed. In the case of male students, the taller they were the more they smoked. In the case of female students, the higher their mother's educational level the more they smoked. Siblings' and close friends' smoking status had influence on smoking in both males and females. Drinking status affected smoking status in both males and females. The total mean of knowledge and attitude score was 1.39 and 1.32, respectively. There was a significant difference in men's knowledge and attitude score and in women's attitude score categorized by smoking status. The men's knowledge and attitude scores were significantly higher than women's. In the results of regression, the knowledge score had a negative coefficient and the attitude score had a positive coefficient as the dependent variable was smoking status in males, and the same results were shown in females. The attitude score, drinking status and close friends' smoking status were factors that influenced smoking in males and the knowledge score, the attitude score, drinking status, close friends' smoking and siblings' smoking in females. CONCLUSION: If we apply these results in school-based anti-smoking program, it will be an effective program for high school students.
