ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to identify the degree of depression and resilience in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) patients with ostomy and describe the correlation between depression and resilience in UC and CD patients with ostomy. 24 UC patients and 66 CD patients with ostomy were recruited from Metropolitan Hospital in Seoul, Korea. The total mean scores of depression and resilience in UC patients were 13.42 and 123.75, respectively, and in CD patients with ostomy they were 14.24 and 119.18, respectively. Depression and resilience in UC patients with ostomy were not correlated with general characteristics. Depression in CD patients with ostomy correlated with marital status (t = 2.27, P = 0.027), economic status (F = 3.98, P = 0.012), sleep disorder (t = 4.73, P < 0.001), and sleep time (t = 2.11, P = 0.039). Resilience in UC patients with ostomy correlated with religion (t = 2.47, P = 0.016), marital status (t = -3.61, P = 0.001), economic status (F = 4.06, P = 0.011), and sleep disorder (t = -3.11, P = 0.003). Significant negative correlation was found between depression and resilience in UC (r = -0.668, P < 0.001) and CD patients with ostomy (r = -0.604, P < 0.001). We recommend counselling to wound ostomy continence nurses (WOCNs) about their goal setting, facilitating adaptation of disease and ostomy in clinical setting. And we expect that WOCNs adopt a formalised and tailored long-term approach or program to follow up for UC and CD patients with ostomy.

We report here results for 15 hips that we repaired using allograft prosthesis composite (APC) and monitored for a mean of 4.2 years. Two hips underwent repeat revisions with new APCs after a mean of 83.7 months. The average Harris Hip Score improved from 21.8 before revision surgery to 83.2 afterward, and 12 stems showed good stability. Of the 15 hips repaired with APC, 13 had good junctional union. One of the 2 remaining hips showed nonunion, which was repaired with an onlay graft 3.3 years later, and the other hip showed both infection and nonunion. There was 1 dislocation, and 2 hips had complications related to the greater trochanter. Our findings demonstrate that the use of APC produces satisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the validity and reliability of the motor point detection system in cadavers and healthy young adults. DESIGN: Correlation statistics. SETTING: University research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Sixty-two lower limbs of 31 healthy young adults (mean age, 22.3+/-1.8) and 10 size-matched lower limbs from cadavers were used. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The validity of the motor point detection system's motor point measure was determined by comparing the motor point locations of the lower-leg muscles obtained from the motor point detection system with the established anatomic motor point locations from our previous cadaveric dissection study. The anatomic motor points were determined by tracing the terminal motor nerve branches on soleus, medial, and lateral gastrocnemius muscles through the dissection of adult cadavers. The test-retest reliability was determined by repeatedly measuring the locations of motor points in healthy young adults on 2 separate occasions, approximately 24 hours apart. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed to determine correlation, and an independent t test was used to determine the difference between the demographic and clinical variables at the significance level (P<.05). RESULTS: Correlation analysis revealed relatively high validity between the motor point detection system and cadaver-dissected motor point location measurements (ICC(2,1)=.71-.92, P<.05). The test-retest reliability showed excellent correlation between the repeated measures (range, ICC(1,2)=.90-.95 at P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that the motor point detection system was accurate and consistent in the measurement of motor point locations of the lower-leg muscles. This system can be considered as an alternative device to localize motor points in clinical settings. Our motor point detection system warrants further investigation in pathologic population.
