2.Epizoological survey on infestation rate of helminths in Korean native cattle..
The Korean Journal of Parasitology 1971;9(2):54-57
The authors made a study on the species and distribution of helminths in Korean native cattle. The feces and internal organs from 1,755 heads were examined in slaughter plants of Taejon district. The results are summarized as follows. Distribution and infestation rate of helminths among the collected samples are, Paramphistomum spp. 68.4 per cent, Fasciola spp. 48 per cent, Eurytrema spp. 23.5 per cent, Moniezia spp. 8 per cent, Dictyocaulus spp. 3.5 per cent, Trichostrongylus spp. 12.4 per cent, and other species 26.8 per cent, respectively. In 33.4 per cent of ths cases, single infestation was seen and in 31.5 per cent, 18.0 per cent, and 14.0 per cnet mixed infestation of double, triple, and quadruple or more species were seen, respectively. Geographical analysis of infested helminths in the native cattle indicates: Among the trematoda order, Paramphistomum spp. and Fasciola spp. showed high rate of infestation throughout all districts of the country, especially Cheju island with a significant higher rate. Central district (Taejon) was higher in number of native cattle infested with Fasciola spp. than any other district of the country investigated. The rate of infestation with cestoda also showed to be higher in Cheju island than any other district of main land, but the rate of infestation with other nematoda showed no geographical difference.

Those unstable comminuted colles' fractures in which the dorsal or volar cortex of radius is fragmented, destroying the buttress of the bone essential to maitnain the alignment, result various residual complications. To overcome those complications, additional methods of fixation, including pin and plaster, percutaneous pinning or some forms of external fixations have been employed. Clinical analysis were made in 22 cases of unstable comminuted Colles fractures which were treated during January 1975 and September 1980 and followed-up for 6 months to 4 years and 7 months. The results were as follow: 1) The fracture occure predominantly in male (4 to 1). 2) Among the 9 cases treated with manipulative reduction followed by cast immobilization, 6 showed satisfactory results while the other 3 did not. 3 Among the 13 cases which were treated by coatinuous traction incorporated in cast, 10 showed satisfactory results and 3 did not. 4) Complications observed were; 9 cases of limited supination of affected forearm. 2 cases of ankylosed wrists. 2 cases of pin-tract infections, and 1 case of transient superficial radial nerve palsy.

STUDY DESIGN: Case report OBJECTIVES: To report a case of Brown-Séquard syndrome after blunt cervical trauma. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Brown-Séquard syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hemisection of the spinal cord, and it shows the best prognosis of the various types of incomplete spinal cord injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A patient with Brown-Séquard syndrome that occurred after a traffic accident was followed up for 2 years and 6 months. RESULTS: We observed normal recovery of motor strength, but sensory impairment and deep tendon hyperreflexia remained. CONCLUSIONS: Brown-Séquard syndrome is known to have a good prognosis, but in this case, the neurological abnormality did not fully recover; therefore, we report this rare case and present a review of the literature.

It would be naive to assume that any operative procedure is the solution to the problem of sacral pressure sore in the field of the orthopaedic surgery. The procedures outlined here involve the creation of compound myocutaneous flaps of the gluteus maximus muscle, skin, and the subcutaneous tissue. The myocutaneous flap us- ing the gluteus maximus muscle is a vascular flap instead of a random flap, with better blood supply for healing and advantage of an increased amount of cushion effect. We present an alternative method which will provide satisfactory and substantial soft tissue coverage in sscral pressure sores.

From January 1985, to June 1986, 7 cases in which supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the femur were treated at our orthopaedic department using the Extensile Approach for an anatomical reduction and firm internal fixstion, show successful results in follow up stuides. l. All 7 cases were type III fractures of Neers classification. 2. Among the 7 cases treated surgically using the Extensile Approach, 5 cases showed excellent and good results and the remaining 2 csses showed one fair and one failed results. 3. Probably due to the additional open proximal tibia and patella fracture and delayed surgery from trauma one case had a fair results. The case which failed wss due to ipsilsteral ligamentous injuries and a nerve injury in addition to the femur fracture and slso the impossibility of early knee joint exercise due to associated injuries. 4. None of the results of the 7 csses had any relationship with the patients age. 5. One case of postoperative skin necrosis developed around the tibial tuberosity and was treated successfully by a cross leg flap. 6. In comminuted supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the femur, the Extensile Approach is thought to be an excellent surgical technique by means of a wide surgical field for an anatomical reduction and firm internal fixation with the repair of associated ligamentous injuries.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia was accepted as one of the most difficult disease in respect of the frequency and treatment for the orthopaedists. Since April, 1984, we experienced 3 cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, one 2 year-old boy involved left tibia only and the other 4 year-old female involved bilaterally, obtained solid bony union in all which were treated by massive surgical management that contained vascularized bone graft and electric stimulation. Several complications were faced such as refracture, valgus deformities of the ankle, skin irritation sign, angular deformities. But refracture was healed without delayed or nonunion by simple plaster cast immobilization. The vascularized bone graft snd electric stimulation is thought to be more improved methods for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. Althought solid bony union was obtained in congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, periodic follow-up and adequste management must be mandatory up to the end of the bony growth.

Sensation is the key element that allows the fingertip to participate effectively in virtually all hand functions. Therefore, it is very important to restore sensation as well as well padded, durable skin coverage following severe fingertip injuries. Many ingenious operations have been described to provide the fingertip with sensate coverage. Among them, the innervated cross-finger flap, reported by Cohen et al. in 1983, is very effective and successful in reconstruction of severe fingertip injuries, We report five cases of severe fingertip injuries treated with innervated cross-finger flap. The results are as follows : 1. The level of sensory return and the functional result is excellent in those fingertips reconstructed with the innervated cross-finger flap. 2. Mean time for flap detachment is 16 days post operative and local anesthesis at outpatient department is sufficient. 3. Four of five treated patients achieved excellent sensibility with measurable two-point discrimination(mean 5.0 mm) and ability to recongnize textures and objects.
