Supracondylar fracture is the most frequent injury of the elbow and frequently accompanies complications in children. Seventy two cases of supracondylar fractures have been treated and managed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College during the period from Jan. 1969 to Dec. 1972. The evaluation of fracture was done according to the classification of Holmberg and Hoyer. Among 72 cases of the supracondylar fracture, the most common type is 29 cases of Grade 2: (40.2%). Most cases were treated conservatively, and various method of treatment were adopted according to the condition of fracture. Residual angular deformities after successful manipulative reductiion can be accurately evaluated roentgenographically by the Baumanns method. Good results were obtained in 62.6%, fair results in 33.3%, and poor results in 4.1%. The incidence of cubitus varus deformity is 37.5%. There were no instance of ischemic contracture and no permanent neurological deficit in fracture cases.

The present study was intended to examine the effect of sodium vanadate on contractility of vascular smooth muscle. Aortic ring preparations were made from the rabbit thoracic aorta and endothelial cells were removed from the ring. The contractility of the aortic ring was measured under various conditions. The results were summarized as follows; 1) Sodium vanadate induced contraction of vascular smooth muscle in a dose-dependent fashion. 2) The contractile effects were not blocked by treatments with adrenergic blocking agent(phentolamine) and indomethacin, indicating the direct action of the drug on vascular smooth muscle. 3) In the presence of ouabain, Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, sodium vanadate still increased the contractility of vascular smooth muscle. 4) Treatment with 4.4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2.2'-disulfonic acid(DIDS) blocked completely the contractile effects of sodium vanadate. 5) In the presence of verapamil, lanthanum and ryanodine, the contractility of the vascular smooth muscle by sodium vanadate was decreased. From the above results. it was suggested that sodium vanadate acts directly on vascular smooth muscle and causes contraction. It was probably due to inhibition of Ca(++)-ATPase in plasma membrane as well as increasing the release of Ca(++) from sarcoplasmic reticulum and Ca(++) influx across the plasma membrane, but not inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase.
