Three main types of operative teehnique are in general use today in the treatment of spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis: namely, total laminectomy alone, total laminectomy and posterior fusion, and anterior interbody fusion. According to Hoover(1968), above operations have yielded satisfactory results in approximately 70% of the cases. In recent years, Watkins, Adkins and Rombold have independently reported their cxperience with posterolateral intertransverse fusion, which they claim is based on a more sound mechanical basis and has yielded better results. The author performed anterior interbody fusion in 4 cases and posterolateral intertransverse fusion in 3 cascs at Seoul Naval Hospital during the 2 year period from May 1968 through May 1970 The postoperative follow-up period was maximum one year and minimum six months. Only one casc of anterior interbody fusion has shown sound fusion, while all ihe three posterolateral intertransverse fusions with posterior H-graft have yielded sound fusion with satisfactory clinical improvement by six months after operation.

Though many effort,s have been made to develop a safe and effective treatment to control osmidrosis, no such goal has been achieved yet. A subcutaneous shaving method, developed by Inaba, appeared to be a favorable choice because of minimal postoperative scar formation. The authors, with this method operated on 112 cases of osmidrosis and compared the results with those of conventianal surgical therapy performed earlier in our department. The results were as follows : 1. The. average age at the time of the operation was 22.0 years old, and the sex ratio between male and female was 37 to 75. 2. The age onset ranged from 11 to 36 years with average of 15.5 years. 3. Family history for osmidrosis was found in 84.8%. 4. General anesthesia were used in 13 cases, while 99 cases were operated under local anesthesia. 5. The mean duration for operation were 75 minutes. 6. Flematoma were observed in 4.5%, wound disruption in 1.3%, and skin necrosis in 3.1%. 7. The results of analysis in 72 follow up cases for more than 6 months showed: 1). Rate for successful reduction of the malodor was 91.7%. 2) The rate of suppression of sweating was 88.9%. 3) The rate of skin tensian with motion was 2.8%. 4 ) The, pstoperative scars were mild or invisible in 95.1%

Arteriovenous mafformation(AVM) of female pelvic organ is a rare disease of unknown cause. The authors' report a case of pelvic AVM which was incidentally found during US examination of the patient with choriocarcinoma after chemotherapy. The real-time sonography revealed several cystic lesions around the uterus with adjacent dilated tortuous vessels. The color Doppler sonography depicted abundant blood flow mixed with red and blue colors within the cystic lesions and rapid turbulent systolic and diastolic flows. CT showed well-enhancing round vascular lesions with elongated vessels in the pelvis, and MRI depicted signal-void cystic lesions on both T1 and T2 weighted images with small portions of high intensity within the lesions on T2 weighted image. The angiography revealed pelvic AVM fed by tortuous uterine and vaginal arteries with a dilated draining vein

Two hundreds and ninty-four prostitutes of foreign soldiers of K2 area in Taegu were investigated for their general circumtances, clinical and bacteriological studys from Mar. 1978 to May 1979. The results were as foIIows: The age group of 20-24 year-old constituted highest proportion at the level of about 53.4% Averge age of total casea was about 26.2. The propartion of those who were more than 35 occupied about 7.2%. The positive rate of Cram negative displococci (GND) on dirert smers showed highest in December and, January and lowest in-April. Wcekly distribution shwed a higher in second and fourth week. Nongonococcal infect.ions occupied about 45.4%. and total raes. The causative oanism. were niostly Gram negative and Gram positive bacilli. The mothly spells and perons with gonorrhea priod prevaIence rate showed a higher rate in Becember, January and July. The prevalence ratio of gonorrhea and syphilis was 13: 1. The examined cases occupied about 34.3, during first 2 month is after registration. The seasoal vari tion of registrators and cancellators were both most in winter. The positive rate of GND was ahout 53.1% in new comers less than two month-examinations after regiatration. Cervical erosion or chronic cervicitis .;howed about 44.8% among the examined 96% cases. Gonococci were isoIated about 25.6% among the ones with cervical lesions on Thayer-Martin media. On the other hand, the ones without lesions were about 11.3% comparatively. Syphilis period prevalence rate was about 8. 5 A. The titers of VDRL slide test were low (1; 8 or less). Two-thirds of positive cases of GND were treated by penicillin, although tetracycline and spectinomycin were also used in a few cases. The penicillin hypersensitivity sho- wed positive results in 9.7% of all treated cases.
