Bilateral avulsion fractures of the tibial tubercles are extremely rare. There is no case report about this in Korean literature. We present simultaneous bilateral tibial tuberosity fractures in 14-year-old adolescent male fell on the ground during running. These fractures were managed by open reduction and screw fixation. We gained complete union and removed metal after 6 months. Functional results were excellent 6 month after surgical treatment.

The objective of this study is to present a new approaches of development systems of test items that will be applied to the National Medical Licensing Examinations. In order to relate all elements of the evaluation process in building a new system, we used the systems approach to problem-solving which involves the development of an overall plan incorporating the interrelated parts of an evaluation process in a sequential pattern. The method we have applied focuses on valid and relevant test items of each subject as an outcome. We have designed the six individual programs that would be a part of whole processes which consists of three different phases such as before-test, test and after-test. The six programs involves sequentially planning of test, requesting test item development, construc ting MCQ, managing test item bank, preparation of test sheets, and test item analysis. One of the characteristic feature of new system is running test item development committees which are made up of subject-matter specialists who together with the nation-wide specialists who are primarily responsible to construct test items, and also with education specialists to refine the structures of each test items.

With fast development and wide applications of next generation sequencing (NGS), genomic sequence information is within reach to various research fields. Three benchtop NGS instruments are now available. The 454 GS Junior (Roche), Ion PGM (Life Technologies) and MiSeq (Illumina) are laser-printer sized and offer modest set-up and running costs. By reviewing 2 studies that compared the performance of these instruments, the major characteristics of each benchtop platforms are compared to enable direct comparisons. The 454 GS Junior generated the longest reads and most contiguous assemblies but had the lowest throughput. The Ion Torrent PGM had the highest throughput and fastest run time. The MiSeq had the highest throughput per run and lowest error rates. The Ion Torrent PGM and 454 GS Junior both produced homopolymer-associated indel errors. Although all the platforms allow multiplexing of samples, details of experimental design, library preparation and data analysis may constrain the options. The features of the platforms provide opportunities both to conduct groundbreaking studies and to waste money. Thus, careful considerations should be made before purchasing or using any of them.

The status of pain clinic in Japan was presented. There are 98 pain clinics in Japan. The activity in the clinical field or research field is are very apparent. They are expanding the indications for pain clinics and trying to seek new therapeutic remedies for patients in dain, but there are also some problems in running pain clinic, for example, the shortage of man power, inade quote facilities and the uneven effects of drugs. Some information about pain clinics was presented.

Upbeat nystagmus has been described in bilateral lesions of the medulla, the ventral tegmentum, the anterior cerebellar vermis, the adjacent brachium conjunctivum, and the midbrain. Imbalance of the vertical vestibulo- ocular reflex (VOR) favoring the downward VOR activity would therefore result in upbeat nystagmus. We report a patient with transient upbeat nystagmus due to unilateral pontine infarction that may have disrupted bilateral upward VOR pathways running in the ventral tegmental tracts.

PURPOSE: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of improvement in self-rated health, self-efficacy, perceived benefit and health promotion behavior by running a health promotion program through the coalition of industries, universities and districts. METHODS: This study was designed as non-equivalent control group research. Data were collected from 62 participants in a health promotion program who were enrolled in a community center (experimental group: 29, control group: 33). The program was applied from October to November, 2008. The health promotion program was composed of value, competence, action, and policy based on a multi-level health promotion model. Collected data were analyzed through chi2 test, t-test, and Wilcoxon test. RESULTS: After participating in the health promotion program, the experiment group showed statistically significant increases in self-efficacy, perceived benefit and health promotion behavior but not in self-rated health. CONCLUSION: It was proven that the health promotion program enhanced the health promotion level in the community.
