1.Histologic Correlation of Ultrasonic Layers of Surgically Resected Gastric Wall.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(2):295-300
PURPOSE: To define the histologic correlation of the ultrsonic gastric wall layers of resected human gastric specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: UItrasound images of the gastric wall by using 5 or 7.5 MHz linear transducer were compared with the corresponding histologic sections of 30 surgically resected human gastric specimens. RESULTS: Five layers seen from within on ultrasound images of the normal gastric wall corresponded to (1) the acoustic interface between fluid bathing the surgical specimen and the mucosal surface and a portion of the superficial mucosa, (2) the deep mucosa including the muscularis mucosae and most of the superficial mucosa, (3) the submucosa plus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, (4) the muscularis propria minus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, and (5) the serosa and the subserosal tissue plus the acoustic interface between the serosa and the fluid bathing the surgical specimen. Ultrasonic findings in gastric carcinomas corresponded to their histopathologic findings. CONCLUSION: Histologic correlation of the ultrasonic gastric wall layers will provide us with a very useful and objective basis of gastric ultrasonography.

2.A Clinical Study on the Fractures of the Femoral Neck in Children.
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 1988;5(1):17-22
Fractures of the femoral neck in children are rare and usually the result of severe trauma. The femoral necks in children, in contrast to those of adults, have many anatomic and physiologic differences. Among the late complications encountered are avascular necrosis, coxa vara, premature closure of the proximal capital femoral epiphysis and nonunion. In spite of careful management, significant complication rate often results. Nine cases of fractures of the femoral neck in children which were treated at Yeungnam University Hospital from June 1984 to August 1987 were reviewed. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The main causes of fractures were traffic accidents (5 cases). 2. Among 9 patients, 6 were girls and 3 were boys. 3. According to the classification of Delbet and Colonna, the transcervical fracture (6 cases) was the commonest type. 4. 4 cases were treated by closed reduction and internal fixation, 3 cases were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. 2 cases were treated by skin traction and cast. 5. The results were analyzed according to Ratliff's assessment. 6 cases showed good results, and 3 cases showed poor results. 6. Early diagnosis and good fixation method seemed to be vital to prognosis.

Serum creatine phosphokinase(CPK) levels were measured serially in 20 adults with closed tibial shaft fractures, CPK activity increased significantly after fracture(p < 0.01). High energy and delayed healing fractures had significantly higher levels of CPK than low energy and normally healing fractures, respectively. Thus, CPK determinations could be used to assess the severity of trauma and possible prognosis of the healing in tibial shaft fractures.

4.Glycogen Contents in Skeletal Muscles in Men and Different Species of Experimental Animals
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1985;20(1):9-13
The normal values of glycogen contents in skeletal muscles in commonly used experimental animals and men were studied. In addtion, this study was designed to know the relationship between amount of exercise and glycogen content in muscle, and to know the causes of species difference. Glycogen contents were determined in quadriceps, gastrocnemius, and triceps in mouse, rat, rabbit, and man. The results of this study as follows: The value of glycogen content in human skeletal muscle is significantly higher than that of experimental animals. The heavier the body weight of experimental animal, the higher the value of glycogen content in each muscle. The value of glycogen content in gastrocnemius is higher than that of quadriceps. The value of glycogen content in quadriceps is higher than that of triceps.

The frequency of car accidents have contributed to increasing numbers and sevtrities of injuries to the supracondyle of the femur. the supracondylar fractures of the femur have always created complicated problems associated with restoration of the distal articular joint surface, avoidance of subsequent stiffness of the knee Joint, difflculties in management of the fracture. The author reviewed 31 supracondylar fractures of the femur in 31 patients who were treated in the department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital for the 6 and half years period from Jan., 1973 to Jun.,1979. The incidence of supracondylar fractures was more common in male than in female. Most of fractures occured in persons who are in their third and fourth decades. Ellciting cause were mainly traumatic and most of them were due to car accidents. The author has adopted the classification of supracondylar fracture of the femur by Neer. Of 31 cases of supracondylar fractures, there were 3 cases of Group 1 fracture, 10 cases of Group II-A fracture, 10 cases of Group II-B fracture, and 8 cases of Group III fracture. Sixteen cases were treated conservatively, 15 cases were treated by open reduction and internal flxation with various devices. The result was more satisfactory in cases by open treatment than In closed treatment.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1988;26(6):894-900
Disibling pansclerotic morphea, a severe form of generalized morphea, has a relentless clisabling course, producing marked contract,ion and joint deformity due to sclerosis of the skin and the deeper structures. We report herein an unusual case of morphea in a 25 year old male who had suffered from chronic recurrent ulceration with scar like sclerotic changes overlying limb folds, ankles, nape and abdomen since 4 years of age. The indurated lesions on the chest and abdomen were ivory colored, sclerotic guttae and plaques having a, violac ous border. At l4 years of age, the skin lesions were diagnostically ambiguous, wherea.s the immunologic results revealed a selective IgA deficiency with partial T lymphacyte inactivation. About 10 years later, the follow up visit showed this severe form of morphea over generalized area and disabling contractures of knees, elbows and alkles, but IgA value returned nearly to the nomal level.

We report herein a case of elephantiasis neuromatosa seen in neurofibromatosis patient, who was a 33-year-old male and had been diagnosed at the age of 13. Since that time on, small nodule present on the mid-back area led to develop grotesquely large, dark-brown colored, flabby mass with thick verucoid skin change, measuring about 30 * 20cm in size. Histopathologic examination of excised mass demonstrated moderate hyperplasia of epidermis and typical neurofibroma findings with soft tissue and fibrous tissue overgrowth, but no atypical cells. The electron microscopic study showed many perineurial cells surrounded by the continuous bssal lamina of fibroblsst in the dermal lesion and numerous giant pigmented granules in melanocyte and basal keratinocyte in the cafe-au-lait spot.

Separation of the symphysis pubis in association with delivery is very rare. The Korean orthopedic and obstetrical literature pertaining to this syndrome is absent. The physiological widening is small and asymptomatic, but a separation of more than one centimeter may occur and in usually symptomatic. A twenty-six-year-old woman of separation of symphysis pubis associated with delivery was treated successfully with the treatment of reduction and pelvic band, with absolute bed rest in the lateral decubitus position.

In transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head, the necrotic superior anterior femoral head is rotated anteriorly around the longitudinal neck axis so that the weight bearing force is transferred to the intact posterior surface. The ratio of transposed intact articular surface of the femoral head to the weight-bearing surface of the acetabulum on postoperative anteroposterior view of the hip roentgenograph is the most important indicator of the prognosis. During the period from December 1992 to June 1994, we treated 31 hips in 28 patients who were indicated for the anterior rotational osteotomy among the patients of osteoncrosis of the femoral head. Among the patients, male were 27 and female was one. Age distribution was from 13 to 62 years old and mean age was 44.3. According to the Ficat and Arlet classification, II A was most in number as 16 II B was 7 and III was 8. As their etiolgic factors, alcohol was most in number as 18, steroid was 3, idiopathic was 5 and trauma was 2. The mean rate of the intact area of the posterior part of the femoral head to the total articular surface on the preoperative lateral view of the hip roentgenograph was 41.8%. The mean ratio of transposed intact articular surface of the femoral head to the weight bearing surface of the acetabulum was 53.8% Fixation devices were screws or dynamic hip screw.
