An epidemiological survey was performed to know the infection status of heterophyid fluke metacercariae in the brackish water fishes purchased from a local market in Haenam-gun, Chollanam-do, Korea from November to December, 1991. A total 20 out of 30 shads (Konosiw punctatus) examined were infected with the metacercariae of H. continua (average number of larvae per an infected fish: 2.71). Of 20 perches (Lateolabroxjoponicurs), 19 were Infected with the metacercariae of H. continua (average number per an infected fish: 17.21. Of 30 mullets (Mugil cepholus) examined, 11 were Infected with the metacercariae of H. nocens (average number per an Infected fish: 51.5), 10 mullets harboured 31 and 349 metacercariae of f summa and 5. lucatum respectively. Of 30 gobies (Acnnthogobin jlcvimonus) examined, 3 were infEcted with the metacercariae of H. nucens (average number per an Infected fish: 32.0), 8 with those of H. continua (average number per an infected flesh: 12.6) and 3 with those of 5. JuscntuwL From the above results, It has been confirmed that the brackish water Ash from Haenam-gun, Chollanam-do are infected with numerous metacercarlae of H. nocens, H. continua, P. summo and S. fuscatum.

Two human cases of Heterophyes heterophyes and H. dispar infections were proven by the recovery of their adult worms. The cases were 38-year and 40-year old Korean workers who had been in Saudi Arabia for 4~6 years and returned home in 1983 or 1984 with gastrointestinal troubles. In Saudi Arabia they had eaten raw brackish water fishes such as the mullet. After the treatment with 10 mg/kg praziquantel and purgation with magnesium salt, a total of 19 specimens of H. heterophyes and 140 of H. dispar were collected. It is of interest that the worms persisted in a patient although he had been back in Korea for 14 months. This is the first report on imported heterophyiasis in Korea. Human infection by H. dispar is the first record in the literature.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip broadly includes inadequate development of the hip joint involving the acetabulum or proximal femur, or both. Although ultrasonographic studies in neonates have greatly lowered the frequency of neglected or operatively treated cases, its sensitivity is less than desired. Hip dysplasia without subluxation is commonly diagnosed incidentally and strongly related to degenerative arthritis in females after the 4th decade. Hip dysplasia with subluxation shows symptoms through various periods, depending on its severity, especially for women with onset during pregnancy. A complete physical examination and early treatment for neonates are extremely important for obtaining satisfactory outcomes. To avoid underdiagnosis and to serve appropriate treatment on time, the authors recommend examining any suspicious hips in infants under two years of age. The study will discuss the diagnosis and primary treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Bond of deformed type of GFRP rebar, which has deformations resembles that of ordinary steel rebar, to concrete was investigated experimentally and numerically in this paper. Due to the lower stiffness and strength in shear, surface deformations do not fully works in bond with surrounding concrete. In this paper, the effective surface deformation height of GFRP rebar with ribs was determined based on experimental and numerical results.

Ni stamper위에 100nm의 Si 코팅후 자기조립 단분자막(SAM)을 액상 코팅방식으로 형성 하였고, 내구성 및 열적 안정성을 검증하기 위해 반복적인 이형 및 압력인가 test가 실시하였다. 20회 이상의 이형실험을 통해 열적, 기계적 안정성을 확인하고, 접촉각 측정을 통해 이형특성의 안정성도 고찰하였다. 이를 Imprint공법을 적용 fine pattern의 구조물을 얻을 수 있었다. SAM코팅은 TRICHLOROSILANE을 사용하였으며 Hexane과 1000:1의 비율로 섞어서 stirrer에서 mixing하는 방식을 사용했으며, UV-ozone처리를 통한 이형성 제거 효과도 관찰하였다.

There have only been 35 pediatric cases and one adult case reported on segmental multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) from our search in PubMed, including 19 cases detected antenatally. There is little documentation of segmental MCDK, particularly concerning its natural history. Segmental MCDK can be presented atypically, making diagnosis more difficult. We report an another case with segmental MCDK. Multicystic abdominal mass detected on antenatal sonogram in this infant was diagnosed as segmental MCDK by renal ultrasonography and computed tomography. If a definitive diagnosis of segmental MCDK can be made on imaging, surgery is not required for a diagnostic biopsy.

Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental benign disorder in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue. Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia is a rare complication and more commonly occur in the polyostotic form than monostotic form. We report a case in which osteosarcoma developed in area of fibrous dysplasia of proximal femur after treating with curettage, wedge osteotomy, internal fixation, and bone graft. A review of the literature is presented.

Purpose : The increased survival of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit recently has resulted in an increased frequency of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), especially with atypical forms. However, there have been few studies compairing classic and atypical BPD. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences between these two types of BPD. Methods : Infants with a gestational age less than 32 weeks born at the Seoul National University Hospital and Bundang Seoul National University Hospital from May 2004 to April 2007 were included. The data were categorized in 2 groups, classic and atypical BPD. We determined the incidence of BPD, and compared perinatal factors and postnatal managements between two groups. Results : Among 260 study subjects, 141 (54.2%) infants had BPD. Classic BPD infants were 64 and atypical BPD infants were 77. Comparison of differences between 2 groups, classic BPD infants were associated with respiratory distress syndrome, patent ductus arteriosus, intrauterine growth restriction, more high-frequency ventilator (HFV) use, low 1 and 5 minute Apgar scores. Atypical BPD infants were associated with antenatal steroid use, maternal premature rupture of membrane and chorioamnionitis (CAM). In multivariate analysis, more HFV use was associated with classic BPD. Antenatal steroid use, clinical CAM and histological CAM were associated with atypical BPD. Conclusion : The results of this study showed that antenatal factors (antenatal steroid use, clinical CAM, histological CAM) were associated with atypical BPD and postnatal factors (HFV used more) were associated with classic BPD. Further studies are needed for prevention and treatment of BPD.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a genetic disease which shows various congenital dysplasias in tissues differentiated from the ectoderm. As the most common type of the ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia(HED) shows dysplasia mainly in the hair, fingernails, teeth and the skin. Symptoms are more severe in males than in females and heterozygous females are usually normal showing no symptom. The treatment for these patients differ according to individuals, but since patients can easily become depressed socially and emotionally due to a decrease in mastication and speech function caused by multiple loss of teeth as well as some aesthetic problems, an early treatment is required. In a case, with a 10 years-old boy diagnosed with HED which shows partial edentia of the maxilla, and the edentia of the mandible in the pediatric dentistry department of the Chosun University Dental Hospital, a fabrication of denture resulted in the recovery of mastication and speech function and aesthetic improvement due to an increase of the face height.
