Eleven patients with calcaneal fracture had 2 acute compartment syndrome of the feet and 9 late complication of the compartment syndrome of the feet. An interstitial pressure of more than 30 mmHg in either the central or interosseous compartment was considered pathologic and was treated by fasciotomy performed medially. Rigid claw toe deformity was treated by excision of the head and neck of the proximal phalanx, dorsal capsular release of the metatarsophalangeal joint, and lengthening of the extensor tendon. Patients were evaluated at a mean of 35 months(range, 21 - 44 months) after operation, and the examination was directed specifically toward symptoms and signs of myoneural ischemia, and walking pain. At follow -up, 2 patients with acute compartment syndrome of the foot had no evidence of myoneural ischemla, 9 patients with claw toe deformity had no pain with walking. Based on our clinical observations, we concluded that compartment syndrome of the foot may occur after the calcaneal fracture and fasciotomy is effective treatment for the prevention of the long term sequelae of this debilitating condition.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with the novel influenza A (H1N1) in the winter of 2009 at a single medical institution. Methods: Out of 545 confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) in children, using the real time RT-PCR method at Kosin University Gospel Hospital from September to December of 2009, 149 patients and their medical records were reviewed in terms of symptoms, laboratory findings, complications and transmission within a family. Results: Median age of subjects was 7 years (range: 2 months-18 years). New cases increased rapidly from September to reach a peak in November, then declined rapidly. Most frequently observed symptoms were fever (96.7%), cough (73.2%), rhinorrhea (36.9%) and sore throat (31.5%). Average body temperatures on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd hospital day were $38.75{\pm}0.65^{\circ}C$, $38.08{\pm}0.87^{\circ}C$ and $37.51{\pm}0.76^{\circ}C$, respectively. Complete blood counts and biochemical tests performed on the first admission day showed within the reference values in most cases. Of the 82 patients with simple chest radiography, 18 (22%) had pneumonic lesions; multi-focal bronchopneumonia in eleven, single or multi-segmental lobar pneumonia in five, and diffuse interstitial pneumonia in two patients. All of the 149 patients improved from their symptoms and discharged within 9 days of admission without any late complication. Conclusion: Children with 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) at our single institution displayed nonspecific symptoms and laboratory findings, resembling those of common viral respiratory illnesses, and did not appear to develop more severe disease.

Between Jan. 1986 and Aug. 1992. 72 patients underwent Rastelli procedure. There were 43 male and 29 female, aged 46 days to 16 years [mean age, 5.2 years] with 18 patients less than 2 years of age. All patients had complex defect, 27 pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, 18 corrected transposition of great arteries with pulmonary atresia or punmonary stenosis, 10 truncus arteriosus, 10 double outlet right ventricle with pulmonary atresia or stenosis, 7 complete transposition of great artersia with pulmonary atresia or pulmonary stenosis. The types of extracardiac valved conduit used were prosthetic valve[n=47, 24 car-bomedics, 19 Ionescu-Shiley, 4 Bjork-shiley] and hand-made trileaflet valve using pericardium. [n=23, 20 bovine pericardium, Z autologous pericardium, 1 equine pericardium] The mean size of valved cinduit was 5.25mm larger in diameter than the size of main pulmonary artery. [normalized to the patient`s body surface area] There were 17 hospital death[24%] and 4 late deaths[5.6%]. Postoperative complication rate was 38.9%a, none of which was conduit-related. All patients were followed pos-toperatively for 1 to 73 months. [mean 25.8 months] During follow-up period, reoperation was done in 6 patients due to stenosis of valved conduit. Mean interval between intial repair and reoperation was 20.3 months. In our experience, li recently extracardaic valved conduits between right ventricle [or pulmonary ventricle] and pulmonary artery were inserted with increasing frequency in infants less than 2 year, but hospital mortality was decreased, 2] Risk of reoperation due to conduit stenosis is low, so that the effect of graft failure on overall survival is minimized. 3] Nevertheless, because any type of extracardaic valved conduit is not ideal in children, we recommended that Lecompte should be done if cardiac anatomy is permitted.

Background: We analyzed the long-term results of ascending aortic replacement and arch aortic replacement in acute DeBakey type I aortic dissections to measure the differences in the distal aortic changes with extension of the aortic replacement. Methods: We reviewed 142 cases of acute DeBakey type I aortic dissections (1996-2015). Seventy percent of the cases were ascending aortic replacements, and 3 0% of the cases underwent total arch aortic replacement, which includes the aorta from the root to the beginning of the descending aorta with the 3 arch branches. Fourteen percent (20 cases) resulted in surgical mortality and 86% of cases that survived had a mean follow-up period of $6.6{\pm}4.6years$. Among these cases, 64% of the patients were followed up with computed tomography (CT) angiograms with the duration of the final CT check period of $4.9{\pm}2.9years$. Results: There were 15 cases of reoperation in 13 patients. Of these 15 cases, 13 cases were in the ascending aortic replacement group and 2 cases were in the total arch aortic replacement group. Late mortality occurred in 13 cases; 10 cases were in the ascending aortic replacement group and 3 cases were in the total arch aortic replacement group. Eight patients died of a distal aortic problem in the ascending aortic replacement group, and 1 patient died of distal aortic rupture in the total arch aortic replacement group. The follow-up CT angiogram showed that 69.8% of the ascending aortic replacement group and 35.7% of the total arch aortic replacement group developed distal aortic dilatation (p=0.0022). Conclusion: The total arch aortic replacement procedure developed fewer distal remnant aortic problems from dilatation than the ascending aortic replacement procedure in acute type I aortic dissections.

Background: The adequate management of mild to moderate dilatation of the ascending aorta during cardiac operations remains controversial. In this study, we present the short-term outcomes of 90 patients undergoing ascending aortic wrapping with a Dacron graft during other cardiac operations. Materials and Methods: From March 2008 to January 2011, 90 consecutive patients underwent treatment for ascending aortic aneurysm using the external wrapping technique during the concomitant procedure. The study group consisted of 49 male and 41 female patients with a mean age of $58.7{\pm}13$years. The primary cardiac surgical procedures were coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 3, aortic valve replacement in 2, and aortic valvuloplasty in 85 patients (isolated in 62 and combined with CABG or mitral valvuloplasty in 23). The ascending aorta diameter was measured using a computed tomography scan within 4 weeks after surgery, and was compared with the preoperative value. Results: The diameters of the ascending aorta wrapped with the Dacron graft were significantly reduced within a month after surgery from $46.4{\pm}4.3$ mm to $33.0{\pm}3.5$ mm (p<0.05). There was no early mortality or major surgical complication. During the mean follow-up period of $15.4{\pm}5.2$ months, there was only one late death caused by septic multiorgan failure. Conclusion: Dacron wrapping of the ascending aorta offers excellent results with very low mortality and morbidity, and it can be regarded as a safe and effective method for the treatment of moderately dilated ascending aorta in selected patients.

Purpose: Despite apparently complete resection of cancer of the rectum, local recurrence rate was high. Radiation therapy has been used either alone or in combination with chemotherapy as an adjunct to surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the prognostic factors, survival rate and local recurrence rate of the rectal cancer who had received postoperative radiation therapy by retrospective analysis. Method: From 1982 to 1990, 63 patients with cancer of the rectum surgically staged as B2 or C disease received postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy after curative resection of tumor for cure. Postoperative radiation therapy was given to the whole pelvis(mean dose: 5040 cGy in 5-6weets) and perineum was included in irradiated field in case of abdominoperineal resection. Results: Three-year actuarial survival rate was 73.2$ \% $ overall, 87.7$ \% $ in stage B2+3 and 62.9$ \% $ in stage C2+3. Three-year disease-free survival rate was 69.5$ \% $ overall, 87.7$ \% $ in stage B2+3 and 56.8$ \% $ in stage C2+3, Three-year disease-free survival rate in anterior resection was 77.8$ \% $ and 44.4$ \% $ in abdominoperineal resection. The local recurrence rate was 15.9$ \% $ and distant failure rate was 20.6$ \% $. Severe late complication was small bowel obstruction in 6 patients and surgery was required in 4 patients(6.3$ \% $). The prognostic factors were stage(p=0.0221) and method of surgery(p= 0.0414) (anterior resection vs abdominoperineal resection). Conclusion: This study provides evidence supporting the use of postoperative radiation therapy for reducing the local recurrence rate in patients who have had curative resection of rectal cancer with involvement of perirectal fat or regional nodes or both(stage B2 and C).
