Cleft hand is a rare disease that is characterized by absence of one or more digits, It was introduced by Abroise Pare in 1575. The cause of this is not identified yet. Polydactyly is defined as normally pentadactylous hand with excess digits, It was reported that the possible cause of polydactyly is increased folding of AER(apical ectodermal ridge). There are so rare cases that cleft hand is accompanied with preaxial polydactyly. We experienced a case of cleft hand with preaxial polydactyly. That case had narrowing of first web space and thumb polydactyly. Untilil now, there have been so many methods of reconstruction of web such as skin graft, z-plasty, dorsal and volar flap, etc. We reconstruct the first web with bilobed flap elevated from polydactylized thumb. As it has good results of functional and cosmetic properties, It's very useful to use accessory tissue from polydactylized finger such as our case.

Background: The purpose of this study was to document the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in combat and auxiliary police, living in a group, in Korea where the incidence rate of active TB in a general population is higher than in Western countries. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all tuberculosis patients diagnosed at National Police Hospital from January 2002 through December 2004. Results:In 2002-2004, a total of 156 cases of tuberculosis were identified with the mean (Standard deviation) age of 20.6 (±1.0) years. Of these, 134 (85.9%) patients were registered as new cases, 11 (7.1%) as relapse, 2 (1.3%) as failure, 5 (3.1%) as treatment-after-default cases whereas 4 (2.6 %) patients were not included in any categories. Average annual new TB rate and smear-positive TB rate were 86.5/10^(5) and 17.4/10^(5) person-years, respectively. In 12 of 31 smear-positive cases, time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was more than 30 days. Two multidrug-resistance TB cases were identified and two suspected outbreak episodes of TB had occurred during 3 years. Conclusion:There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of new cases of TB between the general population aged 20 to 29 years and combat and auxiliary police in Korea. 배경 : 국내 결핵의 발생은 감소 추세에 있으나 여전히 후진국형 발생양상을 보이고 있다. 특히 집단생활을 하는 젊은이들에서 발생하는 결핵의 유행이 간헐적으로 알려지고 있어 우려를 낳고 있다. 이에 저자들은 최근 전경대원의 결핵 발병 양상에 대해 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 3년간 경찰병원에서 결핵 진료를 받은 전경대원의 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하여 연도별 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성결핵 신환율, 진단 지연, 집단발병, 다제내성결핵을 조사하였다. 결과 : 연도별 결핵 신환자 수(10만명당 발생추정치)는 2002년 50명(83.6명), 2003년 42명(83.7명), 2004년 42명(93.5명)이었고 도말양성 폐결핵 신환자 수는 2002년 10명(16.7명), 2003년 11명(21.9명), 2004년 6명(13.4명)이었다. 3년간 도말양성 폐결핵 환자는 31명이 있었고 그 중 12명은 호흡기 증상 발생 30일이 지나서 진단을 받았다. 다제내성 결핵은 2명이 있었으며 결핵의 집단발병이 의심되는 사례는 2차례 있었다. 결론 : 전경대원과 20-29세 연령군 일반인의 결핵 신환발생률, 도말양성 폐결핵 발생률의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다.

문재원,천지선,양정열 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 2005 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.30 No.2

Introduction: The mandible is one of frequent facial bone fracture due to anatomic configuration like the nose and zygoma. When the mandible fractures occured, displacement of segments developed by pulling of strong muscles. And so for reduction of fractured mandible, rigid fixation needs for prevention of displacement. Metal plates and screws are most appropriate device to obtain for prevention of displacement in case of mandible fracture. But metal devices are hampered by temperature sensitivity and interference with radio-graphic imaging, leading corrosion, inflammatory response, the effect of atrophy of cortical bone, the need for a subsequent operation for removal. To overcome drawbacks of metal rigid fixation devices, there had been a continuous research on the development of a bioabsorbable skeletal fixation system using polymers of polylactic and polyglycolic acid. Material and Method: One hundred sixty eight fractures of the mandible in 110 patients (84 male patients and 26 female patients) were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using bioabsorbable plates and screws (BiosorbFX^(R), Bionix Implants, Inc., Finland). The average age is 36.5 years old. Total number used absorbable devices and 972 (182 plates and 790 screws). Patients were evaluated during the follow-up period, which ranged from 1 to 30 months. Common fracture sites are para symphysis (26%), body (19%) and angle (18%) which are experienced. Intermaxillary fixation placed before operation but removed after internal fixation of absorbable devices. After 5 days from operation, temporomandibular joint movement are started. We encountered no significant intraoperative difficulties obtaining placement of the devices. Result: None of patients has been experienced any implant-related complication including fracture instability or relapse, or radiographic evidence of osteolysis except one case of delayed osteomyelitis and four cases of intraoral infections. Conclusion: Absorbable devices have many advantage, that are lower infection rates, satisfactory strength, no metallic irritation, no restrictive growth of the neurocranium in pediatric patients, only one surginal procedure. Absorbable devices have some problems, such as slow and expense. But we experienced good results using absorbable devices to mandible fracture, and these results indicate that the use of bioabsorbable implants can be considered routinely for the fixation of mandible fractures.

문지현,우행원,김영철,연규월,김종원,임원정 大韓神經精神醫學會 1999 신경정신의학 Vol.38 No.6

연구목적: 주요 정신 질환 가운데 하나인 정신분열병은 병의 증상이 나타나기 훨씬 이전인 유아기 및 소아기 때부터 앉기, 서기, 걷기, 말하기, 대소변 가리기 등의 발달 양상과 언어 기능, 운동 기능 등의 양상에서 차이가 나며, 소아 청소년기의 적응 정도도 좋지 않다고 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대조군과 정신분열병환자군의 발병 전 과거 발달 과정과 병전 적응 정도를 비교하여 그 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 연구 대상은 이대부속 동대문병원 정신과에 입원하였던 환자들 중 정신과 진단 편람 제4판 진단 기준에 의거하여 정신분열병으로 진단 받은 환자군 56명(남자 26명, 여자 30명)과 대조군 51명(남자 25명, 여자 26명)이었다. 연구 방법은 환자와 환자 가족과의 직접 면담 및 병록지 검토를 통해 유아기 발달 과정의 주요 이정표 획득 시기, 소아기의 언어 기능과 운동 기능을 평가하였고, Lewis의 산과적 합병증 척도를 이용하여 출산 합병증을 평가하였으며, 병전 사회 적응 척도를 이용하여 소아 청소년기의 병전 적응 정도를 평가하였다. 사춘기 이차 성징 획득에 관한 정보는 Tanner stage에 기초하여 수집하였다. 결 과: 1) 출산시의 산과적 합병증은 환자군과 대조군에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유아기 발달 과정 상 환자군에서 처음 앉은 시기, 걸음마를 시작한 시기, 처음 문장을 말한 시기가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 지연되었다(p<0.05). 2) 소아기 발달 과정을 보면 언어 발달상의 문제는 환자군에서 유의하게 많았으나(p<0.05). 운동 기능 장애의 빈도는 두 군 사이에 차이가 없었다. 읽고 쓰기 시작한 연령은 환자군에서 지연되었다(p<0.05). 환자군에서 언어 기능 장애 및 운동 기능 장애의 빈도는 성별간의 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3) 소아기의 병전 적응 정도는 환자군에서 대조군에 비해 좋지 않은 편이었으나 유의하지 않았다(p=0.06). 반면 청소년기의 적응 정도는 환자군이 유의하게 좋지 않았다(p<0.05). 소아기와 청소년기 동안의 병전 적응 정도를 사회성 영역과 학업 영역으로 나누어 보았을 때 두 영역 모두 환자군에서 유의하게 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 환자군에서 발병 연령이 빠를수록 병전 적응 정도가 좋지 않은 경향이 있었으나 통계적 유의성에는 이르지 못했다(Spearman`s coeff=-0.27, p=0.07). 4) 성별에 따라 살펴보았을 때 남자 환자가 여자 환자보다 학업 영역에서 좋지 않은 적응 정도를 보였다(p<0.05). Tanner Stage에 기초한 이차 성징의 발현은 두 군 사이에 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 환자군에서 유아기 발달 과정상 처음 앉는 시기와 걸음마를 시작한 시기 등의 운동 발달 영역과 처음 문장을 말한 시기 등 인지 발달 영역이 대조군에 비해 지연되며, 소아기의 언어 발달 과정에 문제가 있는 경우가 많았고, 읽고 쓰기 시작한 연령이 늦어지며, 발병 전 청소년기의 적응 정도가 대조군에 비하여 좋지 않았다. Objectives: Schizophrenia, one of the major mental illnesses, shows abnormal developmental patterns such as delayed developmental milestones, impaired language and motor function, and poor premorbid social adjustment long before the onset of clinical symptoms of illness. In this study, we tried to find out developmental patterns and premorbid adjustment during childhood and adolescence in schizophrenic patients. Methods: The subjects were 56 inpatients(26 male patients and 30 female patients) who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia by DSM-Ⅳ and 52 healthy control subjects(25 male patients and 26 female patients). Interview with subjects and their families and the review of medical records were done to assess sociodemographic factors, timing of developmental milestones, language and motor function of childhood, and timing of sexual maturational events. Obstetrical Complication Scale of Lewis was used to get information on the subjects prenatal and perinatal history, and Premorbid Social Adjustment Scale(PSAS) to assess premorbid adjustment. Results: 1) There were no significant differences in the rates of obstetrical complications. The developmental milestones during infancy such as sitting, walking, age of first sentence were significantly delayed in the schizophrenics than in the controls(p<0.05). 2) Disturbances of speech and language development were significantly more common in the schizophrenics than in the controls(p<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the rates of disturbance in motor development. Mean ages of reading and writing were significantly delayed in schizophrenics than in the controls(p<0.05). No significant differences were found between males and females for either language disturbance or motor disturbance in the schizophrenics. 3) During adolescence, premorbid adjustment was poorer in schizophrenic patients(p<0.05). The schizophrenic patients scored significantly worse than the controls on both sociability and schooling domains(p<0.05). There was a trend for correlation between poor premorbid functioning and early age of onset, but it failed to achieve statistical significance(Spearman`s coeff=-0.27, p=0.07). 4) Male schizophrenic subjects showed poorer premorbid functioning on schooling domain than female schizophrenic subjects(p<0.05). No significant difference was recognized in timing of sexual maturational events between schizophrenics and controls. Conclusion: In summary, the schizophrenics were significantly delayed in infantile developmental milestones, impaired in development of language, delayed mean age of reading and writing, and showed poorer premorbid social adjustment than the controls.

문지수,김광수,유봉구,김종국,김민정 고신대학교의과대학 2008 고신대학교 의과대학 학술지 Vol.23 No.1

Background and purpose : Poststroke depression is common and linked to poor prognosis and higher mortality after stroke. Previous studies suggest that high level of serum homocysteine and low levels of vitamin B12 and folate may cause depression. However previous studies has showed large variation concerning the influencing factors of poststroke depression. The purpose of this study was to evaluated the factor that influencing the poststroke depression including serum levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate. Methods : Beck depression inventory (BDI) was obtained in 62 patients with cerebral infarction, and the patients were divided into non-depression group (BDI ≤ 13) and depression group (BDI ? 14) according to their BDI scores. Then, we compared serum homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate, age, sex, Barthel index, Scandinavian stroke scale, acute aphasia screening protocol, Korean version of mini-mental state examination and ischemic brain lesion between NDG and DG. And also calculate the correlations between serum homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate with severity of poststroke depression. Results : The NDG were 41 patients (66.1%) and DG were 21 patients (33.9%). Serum homocysteine, vitamine B12 and folate were not different between the groups, and these levels were not correlated with the severity of BDI. The age, sex, BI, SSS, AASP, K-MMSE and location of ischemic stroke were not different between the groups. Conclusion : Frequency of poststroke depression were high in patients with acute ischemic stroke. In contrast with previous studies, poststroke depression was not influenced by the serum levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate. And poststroke depression was not influenced by age, sex, physical handicap after stroke, aphasia, cognitive function and location of ischemic stroke.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the normal values of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) in normal children to aged volunteers using Tc-99m HMPAO. Materials and Methods: Thirty four right-handed normal volunteers (20 males, 14 females, mean age 40.3±24.9 years, range 4 to 82 years) were underwent rest/acetazolamide (ACZ) brain SPECT using Tc-99m HMPAO and the sequential injection and subtraction method. rCBF was estimated on the basis of a semiquantitative approach by means of right/left ratio, region/cerebellum and region to whole brain ratios in frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, basal ganglia, thalami, and cerebellum. CVR was measured by means of % perfusion increase calculated as % mean count change compared to rest rCBF in each regions. Results: Mean values of right to left ratios range from 1.004 to 1.018. rCBF was highest in cerebellum and lowest in basal ganglia and thalami. Frontal and temporal rCBF decreased while occipital and thalami rCBF increased according to age. No sexual difference of rCBF was noted. Mean CVR was 29.9±12.9%. Mean CVR significantly increased to late teens, and declined thereafter. After 6th decade, CVR in both frontal lobes, left parietal lobe and right basal ganglia decreased significantly with advancing age. There was no sexual difference of CVR. Conclusion: Quantitative assessment of CVR was possible by ACZ Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT. It revealed that rCBF and CVR changed according to age in normal Korean volunteers. There was no sexual difference.

이지현,김지훈,김재문,정태성,김신 大韓小兒齒科學會 2005 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.32 No.2

Lesch-Nyhan 증후군은 purine의 대사장애를 보이는 질환이다. 신생아에서 대략 1:100,000 정도의 이환율을 보이는 X염색체 열성 유전 질환으로 남자에서 흔하며, purine의 대사에 관여하는 효소인 hypoxanthine guanine phospho ribosyl transferase(HGPRT)의 결손 또는 활성 감소 결과, 과도한 요산 형성 및 과요산혈증(hyperuricemia)이 일어난다. 이 질환은 임상적으로 정신지체, 무도증(choreoathetosis), 경련성 뇌성 마비, 심각한 자해 행위가 특징이다. 이 중 자해행위는 입술과 혀, 손가락을 깨무는 경우가 흔하고, 혀와 손가락이 완전히 절단될 수도 있다. 이 경우 자해로 인한 통증뿐 아니라, 상처 부위로의 2차 감염 및 연조직 결손으로 인한 심미성이 문제가 된다. 본 증례는, 상하악 유전치의 입술 깨물기 습관에 의해 하순이 심하게 손상된 Lesch-Nyhan 증후군 환아로서, mouth guard를 이용한 보존적인 방법과 소아정신과와의 협진을 통한 신경학적 약물치료로 자해에 의 한 손상을 방지하여, 단기간에 비교적 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a rare disorder of purine metabolism, first described in 1964. The incidence is estimated to be 1:100,000 birth. It is an X-linked recessive disorder in which affected males have a virtually complete deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine guanine phosphorybosyl transferase(HGPT) . This enzyme deficiency gives rise to excessive uric acid production and consequent hyperuricemia. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is clinically characterized by mental retardation, choreoathetosis, spastic cerebral palsy, and severe self-mutilation behavior. Patient with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome mostly bite their lip, tongue and finger. In severe cases, partial or total amputation of the lip and tongue is common. Self-inflicted bites are often further complicated by secondary infection to injuried site as well as pain. And tissue loss by biting results in esthetic problems. This report presents a Lesch-Nyhan syndrome patient with self-mutilation, who have a destruction of perioral tissue, especially the lower lip. He was treated successfully with soft mouth guard, psychological and pharmacological method.
