Lipomas are common soft tissue that are usually located in the subcutaneous tissue. And intramuscular lipomas commonly arise in the upper and lower extremities, where they usually involve the large muscles. Intramuscular lipoma, also referred to as an infiltrating lipoma, is an unusual benign slow growing tumor composed of mature fat cell interdigitating with skeletal muscle. However, intramuscular lipomas are exceedingly rare in the face. We have been experienced a case intramuscular lipoma that located in the malar area. Because of the rarity of these tumors and their propensity to recur without adequate surgery, the case report is presented here. Achievement of surgical margin is essential as the recurrent rate may be as high as 15% to 62.5% without complete excision.

The total knee replacement is an excellent method for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. of the knee joint. The tendency of the use of total knee prosthesis is increasing now in Korea. But domestic production of the prosthesis is not avaliable and all are imported from abroad. Moreover, these prosthesis are not well adapted to Korean people, and in occation, the custom-made prosthesis should be needed. So, domestic production of the prosthesis is required. For production of new prosthesis, in cooperation with KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), we developed the new alloy 15-57 for total knee prosthesis. We conducted an animal experimental study to confirm the biocompatibility of the new alloy. In this experiment, the Zimmer® company vitallium was compared with this new alloy as control study. The results are as follows: 1. Biocompatibility of the new alloy 15-57 is similar than that of Zimmer® company vitallium in histological study of metal-bone interspace area. 2. Surface corrosion of both metal was nearly absent. 3. In summary, the new alloy 15-57 is suggested as an acceptable metal for the production of total knee prosthesis.

Pathologic fracture is a bresk of bony continuity within an abnormal bone. The abnormslity ma be due to systemic skeletal disease, infection, primary benign and malignant tumor, or metastati carcinoms. Among these, metastatic carcinoma to bone is most common cause of pathologic fractur excluding those due to osteoporosis. When considering the msnagement, pathologic fractures due to systemic skeletal disease usually heal with conservative treatment, while others often require operative treatment. We have experienced 20 cases of pathologic fracture in long bones for 8 years from 19 to 1987. The results were as follows ; 1. The average sge was somewhat different according to underlying diseases Malignant tumorous lesion; 53 years Benign tumorous lesion ; 17 years Chronic osteomyelitis, 42 years 2. The most common cause was malignant tumorous lesion, 8 cases(40%). 3. The most frequent site was femur, 17 cases(85%). 4. Surgical treatment was done in 17 cases(85%), and conservative treatment was done in 3 cas(1sw). 5. In 3 cases of pathologic fractures due to metaststic tumor, the pain was markedly relieved and essy nursing care was possible immediately after operation.

Computed tomographic (CT) scans of 46 jaundiced patients were studied to determine the value of CT in the diagnosis of biliary pathology. AII ofthe 12 cases of medical jaundice had positive CT correlation. Of the 34 cases of proven surgical jaundice, 97 .8% were correctly identified by CT. In detecting the level of obstruction, the cases were divided into four groups by anatomica l segments, according to the number of visualized low density ringlike structures produced by dilated bile duct. All of the correctly diagnosed surgical jaundice was 91.2%. The presence of stones or mass, the level of obstruction and the relative size and shape of visualized distal ring had proved to be the most important variables in etiological diagnosis of surgical jaundice. The results indicate that CT is useful and highly accurate in differenting between surgical (obstructive) jaundice and medical (non-obstructive) ajundice, and determining the level of obstruction and the etiology of surgical jaundice.

Although many invasive studies in the biliary tract disase are replaced by noninvasive techniques such asultrasonography and CT, PTC does still play an important role indiagnosis of obstructive jaundice. Authors hadperformed 42 patients of PTC with Chiba needle at the department of radiology, Han Gang Sacred Heart Hospital for4 years from Jan. 1978 to April 1982. And we reviewed literatures. The results were as follows; 1. Forty twopatients of PTC were 22 males and 20 females. The success rate was 90.5%(38/42). The failed 4 cases of PTC werenonobstructive hepatobiliary diseases. 2. The PTC diagnosis of 38 cases were biliary stone (21 cases),cholangiocarcinoma(7 cases), pancreatic carcinoma (2 cases), hepatoma (2 cases), ascariasis(2 cases), andclonorchiasis(1 case), and the remainders were normal. 3. We made 2 cases of misdiagnosis on the basis of PTCfindings. They were one case of distal CBD stone with severe cholangitis diagnosed as ampullary carcioma andanother case of proximal CBD stone with cholangitis diagnosed as pancreas carcinoma. 4. We experienced 2 cases ofcomplication such as sepsis and severe hypotension, but they were recovered.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to test the possible association between Cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR) promoter gene and panic disorder. METHODS: 262 patients with panic disorder and 76 healthy controls participated in this study. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-based method. RESULTS: Allele distribution of CT repeat polymorphism in patients with panic disorder was not different from those of the controls. However, after excluding the patients with panic disorder comorbid with major depressive disorder and other anxiety disorder, we found out the significant association of CCKBR (CT)n repeat with the panic disorder without comorbidities. And we analysed the data as a di-allelic polymorphism with a short (140-162 bp) and a long (164-180 bp) allele. In the di-allelic analysis, there was an excess of the shorter allele in patients with panic disorder. CONCLUSION: The present study suggested that the CCKBR promoter dinucleotide polymorphism may have a potential role for susceptibility to panic disorder in the Korean population and thus calls for consecutive studies in order to pile up the data with larger different ethnic background.

Acute infarcts of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) territory are unusual. Furthermore incomplete AICA infarcts are perplexing because of its variations of vascular anatomy and inconsistent clinical features. We present a case with clinical features of AICA infarction, which consist of ipsilateral peripheral-type facial palsy, vertigo, and contralateral facial and upper limb sensory changes without motor weakness. The patient had hypertension and was a current smoker. The high signal intensity on inferior pontine tegmental area was found on MRI and the R2 interneuronal dysfunction was note on Blink reflex. The angiographic findings didn't show any focal vascular lesions, which is contrary to the pathogenesis of AICA infarction published previously. On the clinical ground, the present case reserves to attention in that patients with peripheral-type facial palsy should be properly evaluated and with thorough neurological examination and we could differentiate between the incomplete AICA infarcts such as Gasperini syndrome and Bell's palsy.
