A Case of multifocal reticulum cell sarcoma in a 61 year old male is reported. The patient had multiple foci of sarcomatous lesion in the olecranon of the right ulna, medial candyle of the left tibia and in both ankle joints. His initial complaints on admission were pain and swelling in his both ankles and the right elbow of three months duration. Biopsy was carried out on his right ankle joint and diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma was made. Surgical excision of the right olecranon and below Knee amputation of the right lower extremity were performed. Following the surgical intervention, Cobalt 60 irradiation therapy was given for 20 days with total amount of 4,000 rads. The follow-up study three months after surgery revealed much improvement and no evidence of recurrence.

A retrospective clinical observation was done in 90 cases of acute myocadial infarction admitted to Hanyang University Hospital from July 1972 to Dec. 1980. The following results were obtained. 1) The ratio of male to female was 2.3:1. Most patients(63.2%) were in the age groups between the 6th and 7th decades. 2) The main symptoms of acute myocardial infarction were chest pain(76.6%), dyspnea (64.4%), radiating pain(27.7%), epigastric pain(18.8%) and palpitation(15.5%). The painless infarction accounted for 11.1% of all cases. 3) The most common preceding disease was hypertension(38.5%) and other associated diseases were diabetes mellitus(13.2%), C.V.A.(8.8%), angina pectoris(8.8%), previous myocardial infarction(6.6%) and drug intoxication(3.3%). No preceding diseases were found in 12.0% of cases. 4) The anterior wall infarction was 45.5% of 90 cases, inferior wall infarction 22.2%, antero-inferior wall infarction 11.2%, subendocardial infarction 7.7%, posterolateral infarction 2% on ECG. 5) The mortality rate of patients according to the Killip class was 4.2% in class I, 14.3% in class II, 50% in class III and 76.9% in class IV. Group of high Killip class was associated with high mortality. 6) In long term prognosis according to Norris' coronary prognostic index, the highest value was 11.72 with average value of 7.02+/-2.65 in survival group, whereas in death group, the lowest value was 5.08, the highest 16.88 and average value was 10.4+/-3.86. 7) High risk subgroup who complicated within the first 4 admission days, occupied 21.1% and low risk subgroup without complication occupied 46.7%. After the 5th admission days, 2.2% of high risk subgroup was expired, whereas there was no death cases in low risk subgroup. 8) Average duration of hospitalization was 22.4+/-9.5 days in high risk subgroup and 17.3+/-6.8 days in low risk subgroup. In low risk subgroup, 10 cases were discharged within the 7th day of admission and 30 cases after the 8th day of admission. 9) 89.5% of total death occured within the 4th hospitalized day, and 66.7% of cases under systolic BP of 84mmHg were expired. Definite cardiomegaly on chest X-ray and past history of myocardial infarction were associated with high mortality. Half of cases with pulmonary edema were died.

Nd-YAG laser is known as a safe and effective treatment for posterior capsular opacity after cataract surgery. We studied the ocular complications after Nd-YAG laser treatment in uveitis patients. From January 1991 to December 1996, we retrospectively investigated the complications of uveitis in 22 persons(25 eyes) after Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, and also investigated that of nonuveitis in 563 persons(635 eyes) as a control group. The uveitis cases consisted of six anterior uveitis, eight intermediate uveitis, seven Behcet`s syndromes, three panuveitis, and one posterior uveitis. In the uveitis group, the complications(18 eyes) consisted of three retinal detachments, one giant retinal tear, three glaucoma, two aggravations of uveitis, two vitreous opacities, one retinal emorrhage, one proliferative vitreoretinopathy, one hyphema, and four transient high intraocular pressures(IOP), and in the control group, it consisted of two subluxations of intraocular lens(IOL), three glaucomas, one retinal tear, three transient high IOPs, two vitreous opacities, two retinal hemorrhages, three macular holes, two retinal detachments, and five cystoid macular edemas. From our experience, the incidence of complications after Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in uveitis was higher than that in nonuveitis. It was also noted that it is necessary to follow up thoroughly the complications after Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in uveitis patients.
