The management of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur is one of the most difficult problems. Subtrochanteric area is predominantly composed of cortical bone and highly concentrating portion of stress. So, there is high incidence of Complication after treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The results were as follows :l. Of 56 cases, 45 occurred in male, 11 in female. 2. The fractures occured mainly between 20 to 40 years of age(55.4%) and mean age was 41.4 years. 3. The most common cause of fracture was traffic accident.(67.9%) 4. According to the Seinsheimer classification, 16 cases were type IIb(most common), 13 type IIIa and 9 type IIIb. 5. 49 cases with treated wutg open reduction and internal fixation and 7 cases conservatively. 6. The average weight bearing time was 14.0 weeks; 13 weeks in operatively treated group and 18.3 week in conservative group. 7. Radiological union was obtained in average 25.1 weeks ; shortest group was type IIc(16 weeks) and longest group was type IV(30 weeks). 8. Complication were as follows; 8 cases of delayed union, 3 nonunion, 4 metallic failures, 7 varus deformities and 1 nail migration. 9. In the cases treated by Judet plate or compression hip screw, there was no complications and relatively short duration of bony union than other implants. So, they are one of the good implant for the treatment of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur.

Biliary stenting via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has greatly improved the quality of patient care over the last 30 years. Plastic stent occlusion limits the life span of such stents. Attempts to improve plastic stent patency duration have mostly failed. Metal stents (self-expandable metal stents [SEMSs]) have therefore replaced plastic stents, especially for malignant biliary strictures. SEMS are at least 10 times more expensive than plastic stents. In this focused review, we will discuss basic mechanisms of plastic stent occlusion, along with a systematic summary of previous efforts and related studies to improve stent patency and potential new techniques to overcome existing limitations.

Little has been reported concerning post-operative hypoglycemia in previously asymptomatic individuals. Post-operative hypoglycemic coma is one of the most perplexing problems and must be differentiated from other conditions accompaning coma. We experienced a case of hypoglycemia following emergency cesarean section in primigravida with cephalopelvic disproportion on the fourth post operative day. The comatous state appeared abruptly and developed repeatedly. The causes of post-hypoglycemic coma are discussed and the prolonged starvation before and after operation was suspected to be the cause of coma.

Bone materials diggd up from the Haemi nameless martyrdom holy place burial sites were severely broken into fragments of various size, clay matrix filled the bone marrow cavities, grass roots were spreaded into the periosteum and the fragments were very soft enough to be flaken. To make permanent specimens, bony fragments impregnated within unsaturated polyester resin with catalyzer MEKP, promotor 8% cobalt octoate, and UV absorber. Permanent specimens were so very transparent that all the macroscopic structures can be observed, and they were hard enough not to be broken or cracked. This method of preserving bony fragments is considered to be used in archaeologic preservation and in making teaching materials of various human organs or tissues.

We have analysed 72 cases of geriatric patients over 70 year of age who underwent anesthesia in our Aospital from Jan. 1970 to May 1979 and the results were as follows; 1) Male patients were more than female(1.05: 1). (Male, 37 cases(51.4%) and female, 35cases (48. 6%). 2) By ASA classification, physical status was class II in 32 cases, E II in 24 cases, III in 12 cases, E III in 2 cases and IV in 2 eases. 3) The number of the patients of general surgery department(46.63%) was highest. 4) Preoperative problems were cardiovascular diseases including hypertension (11cases) and LVH(25 cases), arrhythmia(6cases), tachycardia(4cases), RBBB(2cases) and bradycardia (2 cases) in EKG. 5) Preoperative pulmonary disease including pulmonary tbc(14 cases), chronic bronchitis (6 cases), and emphysema(4 cases) was revealed in the chest PA. 6) There was no mortality during the operative or postoperative period.

Maternal and fetal effects of anesthesis for 781 cases ceasarean sections, performed during the past 10 years (1965~1974) in Hanil Hospital have been evaluated clinically. It is emphasized that the selection of anesthetic agents and methods, should depend upon the physical status of the patients and the ability of both obstetricians and anesthesiologists. Optimal results require effective teamwork amongst obstetricians, anesthesiologists and nursing personnel. The anesthesiologist should be fully infermed of obstetric aspects. A variety of anesthetic techniques can be used for elective and emergency Caesarean sections. Each technique has its own advantages, disadvantages and limitations which must be thoroughly understood for proper application. The choice of anesthesia should be determined primarily by the experience of the operator, the degree of ugency, condition of the monther and the fetus, the physiopathology, the skill of the obstetrician and the desires and the emotional state of the monther.
