Inflammatory nodular vascular diseases of the legs have been classified as severah distinctive entities based on their minor clinical and pathological variations. They have so many common features which often make the differential diagnosis difficult or impossihIe that reevaluation of these diseases is one of the important problems in the dermatologic field. The author studied the clinical and pathological relationship of those diseases in 86 patients including 70 cases of erythema nodosum, 7 of erythema induratum, 3 of panniculitis, and 6 of nodular vasculitis. The results are as follows; l. Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis are most common. In the spring and patient are most often in their twenties. 2. Common to all, females are more commonly affected than males. 3.Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis reveal no definite difference in their clinical pictures and laboratory findings. 4. Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis are founded to be assoeiated with mostly streptococcal infection and/or tuberculosis; panniculitis is associated mainly with streptococcal infection.5. In histopathological findings, tubercle formation and caseation necrosis are more marked in erythema induratum than in erythema nodosum and nodular vasculitis. 6. The panniculitis is characterized by inflammation of the small sized vessels in. subcutaneous tissues; Nodular vasculitis reveals its main lesion in the large sized. Vessels of lower dermis. In erythema nodosum and erythema induratum, small. And medium-sized vessels are involved in subcutaneous tissue.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a heritable disorder of connective tissue by autosomal dominant mode, is very rare disease in this country. Authors described a typical case in 39 years old woman who had a daughter of 6 years old also affectect by this disorder. The patient had the characteristic hyperelasticity of the skin and hyperextensibility of the jonts especially at metacarpophalangeal joint of the hands. She also revealed hyperterolism and aortic insufficiency on X-ray and E.C.G. examination.

Authors reviewed 459 cases which had been followed up over 3 months after surgery to evaluate the incidence of consecutive esotropia and its associated factors. For every case, we investigated the age at the surgery, the methods of surgery, stereopsis, cycloplegic refractive power, the deviation difference between far and near fixation, the deviation before surgery and the results at the postoperative 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years. The incidence of consecutive esotropia tended to decrease as time passed, and occurred in 21 cases[4.6%] at the last follow-up[averaging 13.1 months]. When the deviation difference between at the distance and the near fixation was above 10 delta and the results at the postoperative 1 day was overcorrection above 10 delta, with significantly higher[p<0.05] incidence of consecutive esotropia. Other factors were not statistically significant. In conclusion, the preoperative factor was the far and near deviation difference above 10 delta and the postoperative factor was the first day postoperative overcorrection above 10 delta. It is considered that the nonsurgical treatment can be desirable for the former cases, and overcorrection above 10 delta should be avoided for the latter.

Conservative or surgical methods have been used for the treatment of fracture of mandibular subcondyle, but consensus has not been reached in regard to the proper management of this injury. Several problems related to the surgical procedure have led many surgeons to avoid surgical management of condylar fractures in favor of closed reduction and intermaxillary fixations. However, luxation of the condyle may lead to various long-term complications such as open bite on the contralateral side, dysfunction, deviation in opening and closing movements, as well as bone apposition leading to ankylosis. As a consequence, open reduction is preferable when the condyle is displaced. Various methods-for example, direct wiring technique, simple bone plating, dynamic compression plating-have been advocated for the treatment of fracture of mandibular subcondyle. Of such methods, a functionally-stable osteosynthesis can be achieved by compression osteosynthesis methods. Lag screw osteosynthesis is essentially a form of compression osteosynthesis in which the bone fragments are bound to one another as a result of traction from the screw. An advantage of compression osteosynthesis is that the end of a fractured bone can be maintained in an opposed position under pressure, and then primary bone healing occurs by direct osteoblastic activity within the fracture. As well, it obviates or reduces the need for maxillomandibular fixation, as well as the morbidity associated with conventional treatment methods such as facial nerve injury and bone resorption due to wide dissection. We have treated 9 cases of displaced subcondylar fractures of the mandible with the lag screw fixation system which is marketed by the Martin corporation. Mobilization and guidance of the jaw was begun from 7 or 10 days postoperatively. The radiologic and clinical evaluations showed good repositioning of the fragments and good occlusion postoperatively The disadvantage is that surgical procedures are relatively compound, and an additional procedure - removal of lag screw - is necessary after complete bone union. Lag screw osteosynthesis can be added as a another valid armament for plastic surgeons in the management of mandibular subcondyle fractures.

The predictive accuracy of the SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay formulas was evaluated in 22 eyes with sever myopia who had phacoemulsification and implantaton of posterior chamber IOL without suture. These patients were followed up for at least 6 months postoperatively. Correlation coefficient between the predicted refraction and actual refraction was 0.57(P<0.01) in the eyes using the SRK/T, 0.566(P<0.01) in the Holladay and (0.06(P=0.791) in the SRK II. The mean absolute error in the SRK/T 0.85 was smaller than that of the Holladay 1.04 and the SRK II1.08(p<0.05). The percentage of the eyes with absolute error within 1D was 68% in the SRK/T, 68% in the Holladay and 53% in the SRK II, but there was no statistically significant difference between them(p>0.05). The percentage of the eye with hyperopic shift(more hyperopic actual refraction than the predicted refraction) was 77% in the SRK II, 77% in the SRK/T and 86% in the Holladay, but there was no statistically significant difference between each formula(p>0.05). In conclusion, the SRK/T has the better predictive accuracy than the SRK II and Holladay in severe myopia and hyperopic shift tends to occur with the application of all three formulas.

Tricholroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peeling is an effective, versatle and safe therapeutic method for patients with pigmentary disorders, acne scars and aging skin. With an experienced and skilled operator, the associated complications are rare and tend to be mild. No. ystemic toxicity is known to be induced by TCA. We observed the effect of TCA chemical peeling, evaluated by 242 patients themselves with melasma, freckles, senile lentgines, pigmented nevi, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags or acne scars. The patients evaluated TCA peeling as excellent for the treatment of seboirheic keratosis, pigmented nevi, skin tags and acne scars, and as selectively recommendable for the treatment of melasma, freckles and senile lentigines.
