To take advantage of hypertrichosis, one of the side effcct of minoxidil, is used as a application to male pattern baldness and alopecia areata. Recently 101 Hair Regrowth Liniment which is a new hair growth stimulator from China is used in male pattern baldness, but its components, actions and side effects are exactly unknown. We experienced three cases of allergic contact dermatits one case due to minoxidil and others due to 101 Hair Regrowth Liniment which were confirmed by patch test.

The anterior cruciate ligament integrity is critical to the mechanics, stability, and protection of the joint and its periarticular structure. The insufficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament leads to a disintegration of the rolling/gliding movement, and followed by degenerative changes of the joint cartilage. Numerous surgical procedures have been designed to control the anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency. None has yet been generally accepted as the best procedure. Arthroscopy has added a new dimension to knee surgery and earned a rightful place in the diagnosis and mansgement of the anterior cruciate ligsment problems. In this article, we present the results in twenty two patients who were treated with staple by arthroscopic surgery from January, 1984 to December, 1985. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Type of surgery were 2 cases of primsry repair, 12 cases of pedicle graft, and 8 cases of semitendinosus graft. 2. Associated lesions were 17 cases(77.3%) of meniscal injuries and 3 cases(13.6%) of the injury to the articular cartilage. 3. Clinical results were excellent and good in 12 cases(54.5%) and fair in 8 cases(36.4%) by the Hospital for Special Surgery knee follow up score. 4. Advantages of using the Ligamentous and Cagsular Repair system for anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency were A) Minimal surgical exposure and trauma. B) Less painful. C) Utilized the patients own collagen tissue with vascularity and synovial covering. D) Close approximation of normal anterior cruciate attachment. E) Excellent bony fixation. F) Rapid rehabilitation. G) Minimal morbidity and few complications. On the basis of our findings, we advocate the arthroscopic repair % reconstruction with staple as a reliable and effective method of treating anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency.

The tibial plateau fracture which involving articular surface of the proximsl tibia is very common in pedestrian injury of the traffic accident and sometimes results in significant disability in knee joint function. The authors analized 40 cases of the tibial plateau fracture treated in our depsrtment during the year 1980 through 1985. The results obtained are as follows : l. 15 cases were treated by conservative methods. 2. 25 cases were treted by operative methods. 3. 33 cases(82.5%) were “Acceptable” group according to Roberts criteria.

Various methods have been described for sugical management of patients who have recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. In recent years, great advancements have been made in arthroscopic surgery of anterior shoulder dislocation. From June, 1987 to December, 1989, 10 shoulders in 10 patients who experienced recurrent traumatic anterior dislocation were repaired with the arthroscopic stapling technique. Among them, 6 cases which could be followed for more than 1 year were analyzed. Postoperstive follow-up averaged 21 months (range 1 year to 3 years). The results were summarized as follows: l. Average patient age was 24 years with an age range from 20 to 31 years. All 6 cases were male. 2. The orighinal dislocation involved an injury in all cases. It had occurred between 18 months and 6 years before surgery. Every patients had had 4 or more recurrences. 3. Among the 6 cases, 5 cases were found to have a Bankart lesion and 3 cases, a Hill-Sachs lesion at surgery. 4. There have been no postoperative recurrence up to date. 5. 7 and 10 degrees restriction in external rotation, as compared to the contralateral shoulder, was noted in 2 patients. 6. Clinical results of 6 cases, based on the Rowe shoulder rationg system, were 4 excellent and 2 good. 7. No instances of infection, instrument failure, or major neurovascular complications occurred in this series.

Behcet's disease, though originally described as a triad of oral and genital aphthous ulcers and inflammatory, occular lesion, has had several new elements added to its description. The gastrointestinal manifestation of Behcet's disease including colitis and esophageal ulceration has been recognized in recent years. Four cases of Behcet's disease with colitis and one case with esophageal ulceration are presented and characteristic radiographic findings are described. In colitis and ulcerative esophagitis in Behcet's disease, the ulcers show collar-button appearance and tend to perforate at multiple sites, producing panperitonitis and esophagobronchial fistula, and intervening mucosa is usually normal.

For determination of reliability and clinical applicability of spinal mineral content assessed by quantitativeCT, the basic experiment was undertaken to assure the correlation of CT numbers of calibration material withinphantom and human vertebral specimen. And the analytical study of mineral contents assessed by whole body CT in 208 normal persons was performed at Pusan Natinal University Hospital for these last two years. The resultsobtained were summarized as follows: 1. The concentration of solution of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate had a highcorrelation with CT number with correlatin coefficient of 0.99. 2. in experimental study, the method fordetermining the mid-vertebral line in lateral scout view showed the precision of 1.4%(coefficient of variation).3. Short term precision test for mineral content of spine specimens showed 1.9%(coefficient of variation) and longterm precision test showed 2.4%(coefficient of variation). 4. Mean mineral content of lumber spines in normal malewas 139.0±35.70mg K2,HPO4/cm3, and the highest value was 167.3±22.96mg K2 HPO4/cm3 in the age range of 20–29years. With increasing age, there was a gradual loss of mineral. so that by age 70 the mineral content was reducedto 85.2±19.95mg K2 HPO4/cm3. 5. Mean minearal content of lumbar spines in normal female was 128.7±41.87mg k2HPO4/cm3. the highest value was 169.5±20.46mg/ K2 HPO4.cm3 in second decade. There was gradual decrease inmineral content to 62.2±25.45mg K2 HPO4/cm3 by 70 years of age. 6. From 40's of age the average mineal content ofspine was decreased by 70's, the mineral content in normal women was reduced by 62%, and that in normal men by 47%. 7. After 40's in women, the mineral content of spine was markedly reduced, and the level of mineral contentin women was lower than in men.
