The 5 cases of human fetal liver aged from 11 to 23 weeks of gestation were investigated for the ultrastructure of sinusoidal wall by electron microscopy. The endothelial cells deficient in basement membrane formed almost all the part of sinusoidal wall. The cells were continued with neighboring cells by intercellular junction, and overlapped them and exhibited to maintain unfenestrated capillary wall, which was different from those with fenestra in adults. The cells were found to have coated pits on luminal side and several various vesicles in the cytoplasms. The cells were related with transcellular migration of reticulocytes and acidophilic erythroblastes, which penetrated into the endothelial cytoplasm to form transient migrating pore closing after the migration into sinusoidal lumen. The perivascular cells were present at perivascular space and surrounding the sinusoid discontinuously. The Kupffer cells were easily identified with filipodia and lamellipodia and with phagosome of nuclei enucleated from acidophilic erythroblasts.

3.Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Bones of the Forearm: A Case Report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1986;21(2):359-363
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is a relatively rare but well known entity. Aside from the fibula, which is aften associated with tibia, the clavicle is probably the next preponderant site. Congenital pseudoarthrosis of other bones are extremely rare. We have found 10 cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of either the radius or the ulna in the English literature. Only one case of congenital pseudarthrosis of both bones of the forearm has been reported to our knowledge, A 30 year old man with congenital pseudarthrosis of the radius and the ulna associated with neurofibromatosis was seen at Seoul National University Hospital in March, 1985. Osteosynthesis was successful on the radius, but failed on the ulna. The distal fragment of the ulna eventulally disappeared altogether.

Thelazia callipaeda, parasitic in the eye of 24 years old Korean male, was extracted from the left eye of the patient in Seoul, Korea. We confirmed that as T. callipeada morphologically, based on the descriptions of Hsu and other literature. We presents the 7th human thelaziasis case in Korea with the historical review of the literature.

We examined a male infant with transient increase in alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity. The 25-month-old infant was admitted to a local hospital because of pneumonia of unknown etiology. Initial laboratory investigation revealed a serum ALP of 11,260U/L, which was comparable to that of bone isoenzyme on the electrophoresis pattern, There was no evidence of hepatitis, skeletal or intestinal diseases. The hyperphosphatasemia disappeared 3 months later. We report a case of transient hyperphosphatasemia diagnosed inci- dentally in the course of management of pneumonia.

Utile recently, osteotomy & reposition surgery of prominent zygoma have been performed by means of a coronal incision or intraoral preauricular incision. But penalties are paid, such as scar, the possibility of facial nerve injury and long operative time. Reflecting on our past experiences of facial bone surgery, we developed an alternative approach. In our method, the protrusion in the cheekbone is corrected by performing an osteotomy and reposition method through intraoral incision only. During the past 3 years we have operated on 23 patients of malar prominences. The amount of the bone to be removed is determined on preoperative interview, physical examination and x-rays. Intraoral incision provide access to the zygomatic body and lateral orbital rim. After L-shaped osteotomy, two paralle vertical and one transverse osteotomies, at medical part of the zygomatic body, the midsegment is removed. Posterior portion of zygomatic arch was approached through medical aspect and was outfractured using curved osteotome. After completion of triple osteotomy, the movable zygomatic complex was reduced medially and fixed with miniplates and screws on the zygomaticomaxillary buttress. The patients were followed for 9.5 months with acceptable result and little complication. The author concludes that this technique is effective and safe method in reduction malarpalsty.

Using atomic absorption spectrometry Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and Fe were measured in sweat and Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn, in blood. The subjects were 22 healthy males, aged between 23-44. Sweating was induced with an environmental room (1 hour at 46C dry bulb and 36C wet bulb). Sweat samples were obtained from the left arm by the armbag technique. The sweat volume was 23.3+7.3ml(n= 22). The concentrations, in ug/ml, of trace elements in sweat were : lead, 0.18+0.17(n=22); cadmium, 0.006+0.006(n=22); copper, 0.37+0.66(n=10); zinc, 0.63+0.5(n=10); and iron, 0.22+0.12(n=10). The concentrations, in ug/ml, of trace elements in blood were : lead, 0.28+0.15(n=20); cadmium, 0.005+0.007 (n=20); copper,0.69+0.22(n=20); and zinc,5.61+0.86(n=20). These results clearly showed the significance of sweating as a route of excretion of trace element.

The stature, span, lower limb length, sitting height, head length and head breadth of 411 Korean elementary school girls ranging from 7 to 10 years of age were measured biometrically and the indices among all of the items were calculated to investigate the physical growth status. The following conclusion have been obtained. 1. The average statures were 117.40cm in 7, 122.72cm in 8, 126.76cm in 9 and 132.92cm in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average stature growth was 5.17cm. 2. The average spans were 113.12cm in 7, 118.70cm in 8, 124.26cm in 9, 130.46cm in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average span growth was 5.78cm. 3. The average lower limb lengths were 62.96cm in 7, 66.80cm in 8, 69.09cm in 9 and 73.13cm in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average lower length growth was 3.39cm 4. The average sitting heights were 65.82cm in 7, 68.56cm in 8, 70.18cm in 9 and 73.13cm in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average sitting height growth was 2.43cm. 5. The average body weights were 21.22kg in 7, 24.13kg in 8, 25.54kg in 9 and 29.27kg in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average body weight growth was 2.68kg. 6. The average head lengths were 16.29cm in 7, 16.38cm in 8, 16.47cm in 9 and 16.60cm in 10 yeras of age groups, and the annual average head length growth was 0.10cm. 7. The average head breadth were 14.50cm in 7, 14.65cm in 8, 14.67cm in 9 and 14.81cm in 10 years of age groups, and the annual average head breadth growth was 0.10cm. 8. While both relative span and lower limb length increased with age and the relative sitting height slightly decreased with age. 9. The relative body weight increased with age. 10. The head type depended on cephalic index was belonged to hyperbrachycephaly, and showed no differrences with age in all of the groups. 11. The relative span was over 96 in all age groups, and the value increased slightly with age. 12. The average annual growth showed remarkable high value between 9 to 10 years of age in the items of stature, span, lower limb length, sitting height and body weight.
