Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare, benign disease found in metaplastic cartilaginous nodules within the synovial membrane. The etiology of SC is not well-known, but it may be associated with trauma, chronic abnormal loading, or inflammatory joint disease. It is often found in knee, elbow, ankle, and shoulder joint but rarely in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area. SC of TMJ frequently appears in middle age and more often in females. Clinical symptoms include periarticular swelling, pain, crepitus, and limitation of joint motion. The most common feature is a radiographic finding of loose bodies in the joint. Irregularity of joint space and condylar head is also observed. Treatment involves the surgical removal of synovium and loose bodies. The prognosis is good, with low postsurgical recurrence rate. Functional improvement of the joint and pain relief are noted in many patients. Malignant transformation of SC has not been recorded. In this study, we report a 54-year-old female patient who experienced discomfort on the right TMJ with SC on the area but made a satisfactory recovery after surgery.

The radial artery superficial palmar branch free flap is based on the perforators of the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery and its venae comitantes. This flap can be used as a sensible flap including palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve. Forty radial artery superficial palmar branch free flaps were performed at Centum Institute during October 2010 to December 2011. There were 32 males and 8 females and their mean age were 48 years (range 30 to 66 years). The thumb injured in 13 patients, the index finger in 16 patients, the middle finger in 4 patients, the ring finger in 2 patients, and the little finger in 5 patients. The mean size of the flap was $2.5{\times}3.5$ cm(range $2{\times}2.5$ to $3{\times}7$ cm). The donor site was always closed primarily. The overall survival rate was 90.2 percent. The flaps showed well-padded tissue with glabrous skin. All patients have touch sensation and showed 12 mm two point discrimination in an average(range 8 to 15 mm). Donor site morbidity was conspicuous. One patient showed unsightly scar. Early postoperative range of motion of the affected thumb showed slightly limited radial and palmar abduction. But it improved after postoperative 2 months, and patients did not complaint limitation of motion. In conclusion, the radial artery superficial palmar branch free flap can be used as an option for soft tissue reconstruction of finger defects where local or island flaps are unsuitable.

본 연구는 근시성 굴절이상과 안압의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 연구대상자는 20대 성인 남녀 총 39명 (남17명, 여 22명) 총 78안을 대상으로 하였다. 안압은 비접촉식 안압계를 사용하여 측정하였고, 근시성 굴절이상은 경도, 중등도, 고도 근시군 3그룹으로 나누어 상관관계를 분석하였다. 대상자의 성별에 의한 안압과 굴절이상도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 근시성 대상안의 굴절이상도가 증가할수록 안압이 증가하였고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 경도 근시에 비해 중등도와 고도 근시에서 안압이 높게 나타나는 것은 젊은 나이에 발병할 수 있는 녹내장의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 중장년층의 고도 근시에서 안압과 근시성 굴절이상도간의 상관관계에 대한 바른 인식과 이해에 관한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

Objective : To determine the rationale for treating pure unruptured intracranial aneurysms[UIAs]. it is mandatory to know the risk of each treatment modality. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical risk for treating UIAs. Methods : Between December 1994 and May 2005, 147 unruptured aneurysms in 135 patients were treated. The majority of these cases [94.6%] were treated with aneurysmal neck clipping. The remainder received aneurysmal wrapping [2.7%], trapping with bypass [20%], or proximal occlusion [0.7%]. The clinical outcomes were evaluated in each patient by the Glasgow Outcome Scale at one month post-surgery. Results : The patient pool consisted of 41 males and 94 females. The mean age was 55.9 years [range : $16{\sim}82$]. The aneurysms were located at middle cerebral artery in 63 [42.9%]. anterior communicating artery 30 [20.4%], posterior communicating artery in 26 [177%]. internal carotid artery[ICA] in 14 [95%], anterior choroidal artery in 4 [2.7%] and others in 10[6.9%]. One hundred fifteen [78.2%] of aneurysms were small [<10mm]. Others were large [10 to 25mm] and giant [>25mm]; 29 [19.7%] and 3 [21%] respectively. More than ninety percent [91.1%] of all patients recovered well. Mild to severe disability was seen in 8.7% of the patients. One patient succumbed to complications following injury to the ICA. Conclusion : The mortality and morbidity associated with UIA surgery at our hospital compared very favorably to the previous reported literature and with the previously established natural history of this disease.

Purpose： This study estimated the prevalence of smoking among male and female school employees. This study also correlated key indicators of health with the number of cigarettes consumed per day by the male smokers. The indicators of health included health behavior, blood pressure (mmHg), BMI (kg/m2), diabetes, total cholesterol, GOT, GPT and GTP. Methods： Subjects included 2,640 male and 2,747 female employees working at elementary, middle, and high schools who received a physical check-up at the Seoul School Health Center in 2002. Data was obtained from the physical examinations, questionnaires, and laboratory results. Results： 39.7% of males and 0.4% of females were current smokers. 60% of the male smokers consumed between 10 and 19 cigarettes per day, and39.6% of male smokers had been smoking between 10 and 19 years. Smokers who consumed more than one pack per day had a relatively higher BMI than the non-smokers (24.7 24.1, respectively). However, smokers had lower blood pressure than non-smokers. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure of current-smokers were 128.2 and 82.8, respectively, while the values among non-smokers were 129 and 84.5, respectively. The proportion of current smokers with severe obesity (over BMI 30) was 5.0%. This was considerably higher than the 1.3% of severely obese non-smokers. Current-smokers also had mean and abnormal rate of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, GOT, GPT, and GTP that were higherthan those of non-smokers. The frequency of red meat consumption, alcohol use, perceived incidents of stress were alsomore frequent in current-smokers than in non-smokers. Exercise frequency was also lower among smokers. In multiple regression after adjusting all possible confounding factors including age, BMI, diet, and drink, the parameter value of fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, GOT, GPT, and GTP increased relative to the level of cigarette consumption. Conclusion： Among school employees, health behavior, and general health status including BMI, total cholesterol, GOT, GPT, GTP, and fasting blood glucose were worse in smokers than in non-smoker.

The primary purpose of this study was to assess the relation of stress perception and poststroke. This study was done on 50 stroke patients in hospital. According to activities of functional impairment, they were classified into walking disturbance, motor weakness, dysphagia, or reattack etc. The stress perception test(GARS Scles) and stress response assessment shows the follwing results. 1. On the distribution in the stroke 50 patients, For the majority group were male in sex, sixty inage, middle towns people in residence. 2. On the comprehensive GARS scale scores, It marked the higest scores thirty at age, merchandise or salesman on jobs, a city in residence. There was no signigicant difference in mean GARS Scales scores between males and females group, the left hemiplegia and the Rt hemiplegia. 3. On the comprehensive GARS Scale tests, Overall glogal stressor(G8) and sickness stresor(G4) marked the highest scores of all GARS Scales. 4. On the comparative assessment of each group's stress reponse test scores, zung-bu(中腑) was showed higher scores than the other group in oriental diagnosis and hemorrage was showed higher scores than the other group in western medical diagnosis. 5. On the comprehensive assessment of each group's stress reponse test scores, aphsia(不語) marked the highest scores in another disphagia group's. It marked the highest scores in another group's that banshinbulsoo(半身不遂) as regards as hemiplegia generally. Standing disability is the higher scores than another group's walking alone or assist, and standing alone. 6. Secondary attack is the highest scores of all reattack stroke on the stress repones test. 7. Comparing and analyzing the GARS Scale total scores and GARS Scale subject fator at stroke, we found that sickness stressor and fininial stressor is showed the highest correlated to stress response fowlloing stroke. With those results, we can see that functional impairment following stroke is correlated to stress perception and reponse.

Background: Early initiation of smoking and chewing of diverse forms of tobacco among youth in India is a significant driver for tobacco epidemic in India. Several socio-demographic factors are predictors of tobacco use in populations, especially among youth. Interventions which address these socio-demographic factors can help policy makers to curb new initiations and avert morbidity and mortality due to tobacco use. Objective: To study the various sociodemographic variables associated with tobacco use among youth in India. Materials and Methods: Secondary analysis of data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey-India 2009-10 for the age group of 15-24 years was performed and predictors of smoking and smokeless tobacco were analyzed using data on occupation, education, and other sociodemographic factors. Results: In India there are a total of 51.3 million (22.1%) youth (15-24 years) tobacco users. Of these 35.1 million consumes chewable tobacco (15.1%), 16.2 million smoke (7%) and 1.6 million are dual users (3.1%). Males, urban, less educated, un-employed and those belonging to middle class preferred smoking over chewing; whereas, females, rural, students and those belonging to low socio-economic class are predictors of smokeless tobacco use. The major determinants of dual users are male sex, poor socio-economic strata and student class. The overall tobacco use was higher among males, rural populations, lower socioeconomic strata and un-employed class. Conclusions: India's youth is more susceptible to the tobacco addiction, especially of smokeless tobacco. Youth from rural India especially students, girls and those from poor socio-economic strata prefer to use smokeless tobacco products whereas urban, male and those less educated prefer smoking tobacco products. More population-based and region-focused research is needed to understand initiation patterns into tobacco use among youth so as to inform policymakers to devise new policy measures to curb the growing epidemic.
