Recently radiation and radioisotope are being used widely in many fields such as medicine and industry. But only a few papers were reported about the radio dermatitis due to industrial use of radiation. Authors experienced 4 cases of occupational radiodermatitis due to Ir-192 occur red during the radioisotope traspierce test. All 4 patients noticed painful swelling, erythema, and bullae on their fingers or palms 1-2 weeks after exposure. All laboratory tests to detect ystemic effects of radiation were normal. Three patients recovered after treatment with systemic and topical corticosteroid and emollient cream for 2-4 weeks. But one patient suffered from complication of fibrosis and recurrent cellulitis on his fingers. We discussed about the working situation of our patients and reviewed the literatures about the radiodermatitis.

A 25-year-old man with familial benign chronic pemphigus presented with a one-year history of a localized pruritic recurrent eruption on his perianal area, Physical examination showed moist, macerated, fissured and scaly patches on erythematous base, A biopsy specimen showed extensive intraepidermal separation containing acantholytic cells. Electron microscopic observation showed widened intercellular space, detachment of the tonofilaments from the desmosomes, and subsequent concentration of the tono filaments around the nucleus. Microvilli were elorigated, thinned and branehed. 1)esmosomes were reduced in number. This case is unique in its clinical location, showing no family tendency.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease with medication as the treatment of choice. However, surgical treatment is recommended when no improvement is noted despite aggressive conservative treatment. Synovectomy provides desirable outcomes for RA patients in the early stage with a glenohumeral joint of Larsen grade II or less; conversely, arthroplasty is recommended for patients with a glenohumeral joint of grade III or higher. RA patients often have attenuation and dysfunction of the rotator cuff, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty has been proven to provide favorable outcomes in some patients. RA is often complicated with osteoporosis and bony deformity; therefore, close attention is necessary to prevent fractures during shoulder arthroplasty.

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.
