Recently, the Supracondyle fracture of the femur is so severe and comminuted that it is difficult to treat open reduction and rigid fixation sufficiently due to violent traffic accident and external forces. The associated injuries are accompanied variously. So complications of the supracondyle fractures including joint stiffness, delayed union, infection are serious. However development of internal implant and operation skill result in relatively satisfactory function than conservative management. The authors reviewed 20 cases of the supracondyle fracture of the femur treated at Yeungnam University Hospital from 1989, Dec. To 1992, Jan. The results were as follows : 1. The male was common(70%). The 2nd-4th decade was most(87%). 2. The most common cause of injuries was traffic accident. The rate of open fracture was 35%, most of it was traffic accident. 3. According to the ASIF group classification. 4 cases were type A, 4 in type B, 12 in type C (10 in type $C_2$&$C_3$). 4. Accompanied injuries included multiple fractures in 9 cases and femoral artery injury in 1 case. 5. Among the 20 cases, conservative treatment was done in 5 cases and operative treatment was done in 15 cases. 6. Functional results (by Schatzker criteria) were as follows. The satisfactory results were achieved in 40% of cases in conservative treatment and 67% in operative treatment. 7. The average time of partial weight bearing was 15 weeks. 8. Complications were knee stiffness in 6 cases and 4 in delayed union.

In this study, I have looked though the Sijo made by Sowol and Jiyoung who were the frontiers of the Korean modern poetry. Through this study, I've tried to research the relationship between the free verse and their versifying Sijo. Sowol made the eight Sijo : six Sijo made in his early days. and the others made in later days. Sowol's early free verse tended to show the regular form. Although his 6 Sijo maintained the traditional form, he tried to make the formal changes. But the subject of those were in the way of view points of old Sijo. But the rest two Sijo strongly showed the problem of reality. Jiyoung made the 9 Sijo in his early days. But Jiyoung's is different from Sowol's. Jiyoung tried to make a new way of expressing the poetic images while Sowol was focused on the formal changes. Also, his final work 'Eun' had the feature of fixed form of verse. Through the research mentioned above, I confirmed that their tries to make the fixed form of verse were the background of developing and pioneering their free verse.

Lee, Je-ma proposed ways like Chehyungkisang to judge each constitution, so, on the basis of this, we can judge constitution in various ways. Such a theory is based on behavior determinism's way of thinking of Lee, Je-ma. We can know this that form is not recognized as an object reflecting image, but a subjective concept from Tukyonyodun, Yimokbiku(ears, eyes, nose and mouth), Hameokjebok of Sungmyong Theory. Lee, Je-ma thought each part of human body has not only physical function but also complex temperative function. Putting this consideration and Jangbu Theory describing human body directly, together, it can be said that these all have an established theory on Chehyungkisang of constitution judgement. Thus, the following hypotheses are given. From Sadan Theory and Hwakchung Theory, strength of Jangbu of Sasangin is Pe>Bi>Shin>Kan in Taeyangin and Bi>Pe>Kan>Shin in Soyangin and Kan>Shin>Bi>Pe> in Taeumin and Shin>Kan>Pe>Bi in Soumin. The concept of Shinkihyuljung is related with creation of form and spirit of each Jangkuk and Aenoheerak(sorrow, anger, joy, pleasure). From this viewpoint, Sasangin can be classified into; Taeyangin into Shinkijunghyul type, Taeumin into Hyuljungkishin type, Soumin into Junghyuishinki type. Introduced a fixed way to explain of each constitution according to this strength relationship. I hope more lively discussions on Constitutional Medicine will be continued based on this attempt.

Purpose : We have evaluated the outcome of the operative treatment of PCL rupture using the achilles tendon allograft. Materials and Methods : A retrospective study was completed for 30-PCL reconstruction cases, using the achilles tendon allograft from september 1996 to march 1998. There was an average follow up of 24 months, with range of 12 to 50 months. Results : The active range of motion was improved postoperatively. The Lysholm Knee Score was improved from a mean of 54 points preoperatively to 87 points postoerative 18 months. The "Cybex 340 isometric test" revealed satisfactory results compared with autograft. Conclusions : Use of allograft for recostruction of the PCL is an attractive option because it precludes the harvesting of autogenous tissue in a knee that is already at risk for patellofemoral and tibiofemoral osteoarthrosis.

Purpose : Kawasaki disease is an acute illness of unknown cause that affects infants and children. Sometimes, cervical lymphadenitis that seems to be caused by bacterial or viral agents at admission would be changed to Kawasaki disease within several days of hospitalization. Lymphadenopathy is one of major presenting manifestation of both cervical lymphadenitis and Kawasaki disease. We compared Kawasaki disease with cervical lymphadenopathy as the initial manifestation with cervical lymphadenitis without other typical manifestations of Kawasaki disease. Methods : We describe and compare the clinical characteristics of 15 patients with Kawasaki disease which were misdiagnosed as cervical lymphadenitis and 125 patients with cervical lymphadenitis, retrospectively. Results : The clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease with cervical lymphadenopathy as an initial presenting manifestation were older in age and had more frequent abnormalities in markers of systemic inflammation than kawasaki disease without cervical lymphadenopathy. They would have greater abnormalities in markers of inflammation than cervical lymphadenitis alone. They had higher mean WBC, cESR, CRP which were compared with the patients with cervical lymphadenitis. Usually, patients with cervical lymphadenitis responded to antibiotics promptly, but they did not tend to be responded to antibiotics within 48~72hrs. Conclusion : Patients with Kawasaki disease may initially present with findings that strongly suggest bacterial lymphadenitis with or without other manifestations of Kawasaki disease. If they did not response initial antibiotics administration, they should be closed observed for the possible development of the another signs of Kawasaki disease. Earlier diagnosis of Kawasaki disease can avoid the need for unnecessary procedures and antibiotics and lead to more proper therapy directed at Kawasaki disease.

The importance of autonomous driving systems that utilize V2X services such as V2V(Vehicle to Vehicle) and V2I(Vehicle to Infrastructure) for safer and more comfortable driving is increasing with the recent development of autonomous vehicles. Partly autonomous vehicles based on environmental sensors have limitations for predicting and determining areas beyond the recognition distance of the mounted sensors and in response to atypical objects that are difficult to detect. Therefore, it is important to utilize the V2X service to improve the limit of sensor detection performance and to make driving safer and more comfortable. However, there may be an accident risk of autonomous vehicles due to incorrect information provided by V2X. Thus, the application of technology to prevent this needs to be considered. In this pater, we used the ISO-26262 Part3 Process and performed HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) to derive the risk sources of autonomous vehicles due to V2I malfunctions by using the communication between vehicles and infrastructure among V2X. We also developed ASIL ratings based on the simulations and real vehicle tests of the malfunctions of major cases of usnig V2I.

Subcutaneous pannicultis-like T cell lymphoma is a rare cutaneous T cell lymphoma. It presents with multiple subcutaneous nodules or plaques involving the extremities or trunk, and with constitutional symptoms that include fever, malaise, fatigue, myalgia, chills and weight loss. Histologically, the lesions of this disease are reminiscent of panniculitis and are composed of a mixture of small and large atypical lymphoid cells infiltrating between adipocytes. The optimal treatment for this disease is undefined and prognosis of this disease is poor, even when treated with multiagent chemotherapy regimens considered optimal for agressive lymphoma of other types. Poor prognosis factors include clinical features such as anemia, leukocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and coagulopathy, which are suggestive of hemophagocytosis. Much of the mortality of this disease is due not to disseminated lymphoma with organ failure, but rather to complications of the cytopenias associated with the hemophagocytic syndrome. We report a case of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma in a 12 year-old boy who presented with initial complaints of fever and multiple subcutaneous nodules, and briefly review the related literature.

Background: For effective and systematic management of patients in the emergency department(ED), the data on patient arrival and status in ED of Yeungnam University Hospital were evaluated. Materials and Methods: During the seven days from Apr. 1 to Apr. 7, 1998, the general patient information such as onset time and place, factors associated with transportation, causes of admission, cared department and patient disposition were recorded. Results: Total of 464 patients visited the ED during the seven days, and the mean number of patients per day was 66.3. Male to female ratio was 1:0.71. Daily staying patients were 17.3, and 83.6 patients were cared totally each day. The methods of transportation and distribution of patients according to region and event were as follows: visit by walk(57.3%). transportation by car(58.0%), place of event in residence(85.3%), regional distribution in Taegu(81.5%), and direct visit(97.4%). Cause of admission due to diseases was 74.6%. The percentages of departments which cared the patients were internal medicine 26.6%, pediatrics 16.8%, orthopedics 8.6%, neurology 8.2%, neurosurgery 7.8% and other department including emergency medicine 8.2%, respectively. Patient dispositions were admission 38.4%, discharge 61.0% and death on arrival(DOA) 0.6%, but referred patient-to-another-hospital was zero. Conclusion: Improvements in several aspects of ED's caring system such as "fast tracking" system and reinforcement of disease and trauma caring system, would be helpful for effective management of emergency patients.

Selecting business charts based on the nature of the data and the purpose of the visualization is useful in business analysis. However, current visualization tools lack the ability to help choose the right business chart for the context. Also, soliciting expert help about visualization methods for every analysis is inefficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose an accessible method to improve business chart productivity by creating rules for selecting business charts from online published documents. To this end, Korean, English, and Chinese unstructured data describing business charts were collected from the Internet, and the relationships between the contexts and the business charts were calculated using TF-IDF. We also used a Galois lattice to create rules for business chart selection. In order to evaluate the adequacy of the rules generated by the proposed method, experiments were conducted on experimental and control groups. The results confirmed that meaningful rules were extracted by the proposed method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to recommend customizing business charts through open unstructured data analysis and to propose a method that enables efficient selection of business charts for office workers without expert assistance. This method should be useful for staff training by recommending business charts based on the document that he/she is working on.
