A survey on the prevalence of intestinal parasites was performed during the period from April to June of 1969, to evaluate the present status of parasitic infections in ROK Army soldiers. Stool specimens of 1,0l2 soldiers were collected from a camp located in Won-Ju area, and examined by the method of formalin-ether sedimentation technique. For protozoan cysts, examined slide was stained with Lugol's iodine solution and for eggs of Enterobius, the Graham's scotch cellulose tape anal swab technique was applied. The results obtained in this survey were as follows: Of the 1,012 soldiers examined, 95.0 percent were found infected by one or more intestinal parasites and 28.7 percent were found positive for protozoan cysts. The positive rates of each parasites were; A. lumbricoides 61.0 percent, T. trichiurus 73.4 percent, hookworm 17.5 percent, T. orientalis 9.5 percent, E. vermicularis 0.1 percent (from stool specimen), C. sinensis 8.8 percent, M. yokogawai 1.1 percent, Taenia sp. 1.0 percent (from stool), H. nana 0.3 percent and E. histolytica 7.4 percent. E. coli 12.6 percent, E. nana 5.9 percent, I. buetchlii 0.7 pecent, G. lamblia 6.1 percent, and C. mesnili 0.8 percent. From the anal swabs, eggs of Enterobius were recovered in 2.6 percent, and eggs of Taenia sp. showed positive rate of 1.5 percent.

Massive hemorrhage into an intracranial neurinoma is a rare event. A 42-year old man noticed hearing loss, nystagmus, diplopia and paresthesia on the left side of the face. A computerized tomography scan demonstrated a large high density mass in the left cerebellopontine angle. The tumor was successfully removed and postoperative course was favorable. Such a case of acoustic neurinoma which revealed itself through intratumoral hemorrhage has not been previously reported in Korea.

Sixty six Colles' fracture were treated with radial slab or U-cast (sugar tong splint), from January 1982 through May 1984 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of St. Mary Hospital. A prospective study was made and was evaluated under the subjective criteria of Gartland and Werley, and the objective criteria of Scheck. The results of this study were as follows: 1. All of 66 cases was closed fracture and the incidence was high in females who aged over 6thdecades. 2. In 43 cases of stable fracture, 18 (94.7 %) out of 19 cases treated with radial slab and 21 (87.5%) out of 24 cases treated with U-cast showed satisfactory result. 3. In 23 cases of unstable fracture, 6 (54.6%) out of 11 cases treated with radial slab and 9 (75%) out of 12 cases treated with U-cast showed satisfatory result. 4. As a result, we found that the result of the treatment with radial slab was superior to the U-cast for the stable Colles fracture, however, all of two methods were not staisfatory for the unstable Colles fracture although the U-cast group showed better result.

Twenty-three cases of the scaphoid fracture which were treated at the Department of the Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic University Medical College during the period of december 1978 to december 1987 were analysed. The main purpose of this study was to clarify the significant factors affecting the union rate of the scaphoid fracture. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. The great majority of 23 cases was male with mean age 31. 2. Ulnar deviated stress oblique view with msking a fist was the most reliable means for diagnosing the fracture, location of fracture and stability of wrist after scaphoid fracture. 3. Union rate was obtained from 88.8% in undisplaced fresh fracture, 85.7% in displaced fresh fracture and 71.4% in old neglected fracture. 4. The union rate and associated factors affecting the prognosis after scaphoid frscture seems to be depended on the location of fracture, the severity of initial displacement of fracture fragments, time elapsed of treatment after fracture and accompanied injuries around the ipsilateral wrist.
