In military training, the knee joint is more susceptible to trauma than any other joint in the body. Chronic knee instability is a difficult problem for both the patient and the orthopaedic surgeon who must correct the disability. To achieve the best possible result, the surgeon must first make the correct diagnosis and be aware of the type or types of instability that exist. There may be associated instability in a rotatory plane as described by Slocum and Larson, and the surgeon must examine carefully for this. Various surgical techniques have been used in the past to repair the knee static stabilizers such as ligaments and capsule. Since the introduction of the dynamic concept of rotatory instability and the need for muscular reinforcement of static repair, most orthopaedists have attempted to back up their reapirs with various types of dynamic stabilization such as the pes anserinus transfer and advancement of semimembranosus. 39 cases of medial instability of the knee joint were analysed clinically in the department of orthopaedic surgery of Busan Armed Froce General Hospital from Feb. 1977 to Feb. 1980 and following results were obtained. 1. All of the cases were military personnels, most of them were privates and P.F.C. showed most frequent incidence in 19 cases (49%). 2. Sports injury was a main causes of the knee instability. 3. The highest incidence in severity of the lesion was grade III in 21 cases (54%). 4. Among 39 cases of ligamentous injuries of medial side, rupture of collateral ligament alone were 30 cases, and mixed injuries with cruciate were 9 cases. 5. The pes transfer was performed in all of the cases with acute medial collateral rupture, and even in the cases with instability after primary repair, good results were obtained by carrying out dynamic muscle or tendon transfer. 6. In some cases, the patient did not feel much discomfort for the remaining static instability in valgus stress test after dynamic reconstruction. This was thought to be overcome by dynamic force during use of the leg. 7. For the purpose to prevent further stretching of repaired ligaments, derotation brace were recommended in 5 cases of dynamic reconstructive surgery.

PURPOSE : The purpose of this study was to determine proper position and angulation of an implant for immediate implantation. MATERIALS AND METHOD : From the years 1997 to 2000, 52 Denta scanR views, 22 upper and 32 lower jaw with an average age of 43 and 40 respectively, were investigated, which comprise intact upper and lower 6 anterior teeth and premolars. on the Denta scanR, the optimal placement for the immediated implantation was simulated. The measuring methods included. 1) Angulation difference between tooth long axis and alveolar bone process. 2) Angulation difference of long axis between tooth and installing fixture 3) Distance between center of tooth at cervical area and center of fixture. 4) Distance from root apex to the bone limit of vital structure. One sample t-test was used for statistical analysis. RESULT : The results were as follows. 1) At the maxillary central incisor and lateral incisor, angulation difference of long axis between tooth and installing fixture was respectively 0.5 and 3.2degrees with the fixture center's palatally positioned 2mm apart from tooth center. 2) At the lower anterior 6 teeth, that was about -2.8degree to -4.6degree with the fixture center's lingually positioned 1mm apart from tooth center. 3) At the maxillary canine and premolar, that was respectively 11.8degree and 7.2degree with the fixture center palatally positioned 2~2.4mm apart from tooth center. 4) At the lower premolar area, that was about 0degree to 2degree with the fixture center's lingually positioned 0.5~1mm apart from tooth center. 5) Distance from root apex to the bone limit of vital structure, at the maxillary anterior and premolars, was the range of 10 to 12mm, and at the mandibular anterior teeth and the 1st premolar, that was the range of 18 to 20mm. CONCLUSION : The proper implant position of maxillary anterior and premolar teeth is as paralleled as or more buccally angulated than long axis of tooth with the fixture center's palatally positioned. in mandibular anterior region, long axis of implants is lingully angulated compared with compared with long axis of tooth and in premolar, almost parelleled with long axis of tooth and alveolar process.

We reviewed 35 patients who received an operation for the Spondylolisthesis from July 1980 to July 1985. The follow-up period between operation and evaluation was at least 14 months and average 32 months. we obtained the following results. 1. The age distribution was from 23 years of age to 70 years of age and the prevalent decade was at the 5th. 2. Sex difference showed male 9 cases and female 26 cases, that is, female preponderance about 3 times. 3. 24 cases were isthmic type and 11 cases were degenerative type. The ratio between isthmic type and degenerative type was about 2: l. 4. Isthmic type was found at the 4th and 5th decades frequently and degenerative type was at 5th and 6th decade frequently. 5. The displacement between L4 and L5 was 21 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 14 cases. 6. In isthmic type, the displacement between L4 and L5 was 11 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 13 cases. In degenerative type, the displacement between L4 and L5 was 10 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 1 case. So the isthmic defect occurred at 2 levels almost equally and degonerative type occurred at L4-5 predominantly. 7. Overall results are excellent 2 cases(6%), good 29 cases(82%), fair 2 cases(6%), and poor 2 cases (6%).

Transient synovitis of the hip joint in children was first described by Lovett and More in 1892and is the commonest cause of painful hip in children. It is characterized by pain and limp of acute onset, generally shart-lived, unassociated with structural changes in the femoral capital epiphysis demonstrable roentgenographically.. The pathology is of interest, not because it is a disabling condition, but because of the difficulties in differentiating it from more serious disease of the hip such as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, tuberculosis, osteomyelitis and etc. The 76 cases so diagnosed at the Han-II hospital from 1974 to 1983 were reviewed and reported as follows; 1. There was probably associated with predisposing factors such as infection, and trauma. 2. The diagnostic criteria were clinical symptoms, laboratory and radiological findings. 3. The treatment was bed rest, skin traction on the affected leg, non-weight bearing, antibiotics, sedatives and in a few cases, INH was administrated for the prevention of the tuberculosis. 4. Four hips among them revealed later as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and tuberculous arthritis of the hip joint.

To evaluate the features of pyuria related to the bacteriuria, 140subjects were studied from Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1987. They pyuria was frequently developed from the age 30 to 60 years old, and male to female ratio was 1:1.41. The most common disease was urethrocystitis that was shown 42.8%. Common precipitating factors were urethral catheterization (25%) and urinary tract obstruction (11.4%). Through the observation, symptomatic pyuric patients were 66 subjects (47.1%), and the subjects with significant urine culture were 121 subjects (86.4%). In the urine culture, the most common bacteria was E. coli (41.4%), and the next was Pseudomonas (19.3%). A large percentage of E. coli and Pseudomonas was susceptible of amikin. The pyuria due to S. epidermidis and Accinatobacter was well treated. High therapeutic rate was observed in the acute pyelonephritis (71%) and urethrocystitis (67%). In the persistent urinary tract infection, there were relapsing (22 cases) and recurrent urinary tract infection (16 cases).

This investigation evaluated the fracture toughness (KIC) of eight currently available core materials, and relate the fracture toughness value to fractography analysis and surface characteristics using a atomic force microscope (AFM). Single-edge notched (SEN) test specimens (n=10) and compact tension (CT) test specimens (n=10) were prepared conforming to the ASTM Standard E-399 for a high copper amalgam, three composite core materials (Core-Max II, Core Paste, Bisfil Core), two reinforced composite core materials (Ti-Core, Ti-Core Natural), a resin-modified glass ionomer core material (Vitremer), and a conventional glass ionomer core material (Ketac-Molar). The specimens were tested with an Instron Universal Testing Machine. The maximum loads were measured to calculate the fracture toughness (KIC). Thereafter, fracture surfaces of SEN specimens of each material were investigated for fractography analysis using scanning electron microscope. And, disc-shaped specimens with 1mm thickness were fabricated for each material and were investigated under AFM for surface morphology analysis. The results were as follows : 1. Bisfil Core showed the highest mean fracture toughness regardless of test methods. 2. For the tooth-colored materials, Ti-Core Natural exhibited the highest fracture toughness. 3. Ketac Molar showed a significantly low fracture toughness when compared with the amalgam and the composite resin core materials (p<0.05). 4. The fracture toughness values obtained with the single-edge notched test, except Ketac Molar, were higher than those obtained in the compact tension test. 5. SEM revealed that the fracture surface of high fracture toughness material was rougher than that of low fracture toughness material. 6. AFM revealed that the surface particles of the composite resins were smaller in size, with a lower surface roughness than the glass ionomer core materials.

BACKGROUND: Soluble IL-2R, soluble CD8 and TNF-alpha are elevated in sera of some patients with hematological malignancies, and a marked elevation of these cytokines could be used to assess disease activity and prognosis in this malignancy group. METHODS: The serum levels of sIL-2R, sCD8 and TNF-alpha were assessed in 28 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 32 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and 39 cases of healthy control subjects to define clinical usefulness as prognostic markers by sandwich enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS: In MDS patients, serum sIL-2R levels were significantly higher as compared with controls, and a more pronounced increase of serum sIL-2R levels was found in patients with RAEB RAEB-t and CMML as compared with RA and RARS. Serum sCD8 levels were higher as compared with controls, but not related with FAB classification. In patients with leukemic conversion. sCD8 levels tended to be higher as compared with patients with non-conversion. The sIL-2R levels of AML patients were significantly higher than controls, and a significant correlation was detected between the levels of sIL-2R and WBC counts. Higher sIL-2R levels( >2000 U/ml) tended to affect both complete remission rate and survival. Serum sCD8 levels were higher than controls, but not related to FAB classification. No differences of serum TNF-alpha levels were detected as compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: From these results, this study indicates that serum sIL-2R and sCD8 are significantly increased in some patients with MDS and AML, and increased levels of serum sIL-2R and sCD8 may be useful for predicting prognosis of these patients.
