Cushing Syndrome*

Two cases of leukemia cutis associated with leukemia has been demonstrated. Case 1: 24 year old man had been fever, arthralgia and leproma like hard infiltrated nodular lesion with hemorrhagic macules was noted on face and upper arms and trunk, Monocytic Jeukemia has been presented. In peripheral blood and bone marrow finding, immature blood cells was counted in about 80%, Case 2: 64 yearold woman, had been erythematous papule with itching on lower extremities and coin ized ulcerated nodule was noted on lumbosacral region. Myeloid leukemia has been presented. In peripheral blood and bone marrow finding, immature blood cells was counted in about 7.2%. Diagnosis of cutaneous lesions was by clinical apperance and histopathological change. By laboratory examination, monocytic leukemia and myeloid leukemia was revealed in peripheral blood and bone marrow preparation.

A Paralytic hip with subluxation or dislocation may be treated by any of the ischial seat brace, hip fusion, muscle or tendon transfer, and more recently Pembertons or Salters osteotomy. 61 hips on 45 cases have been reconstructed, by one or combination of various procedures at Seoul National University Hospital during the 7 year period from October 1963 to October 1970. Follow-up results of these hips were evaluated by the reporters' according to the criteria of both functional and mechanical stability. Of the 43 cases with known results 9 rated Undetermined, 2 Fair, 5 Good, and 27 Excellent. Analysis of the 27 Excellent cases suggests that the most satisfactoy results can be obtained when the hips are attacked by concomitant functional(muscle or tendon transfer) and mechanical (Pembertons or Salters osteomy) stabilizations. In our experience, a combination of muscle or tendon transfer and an arthroplasty of Pemberton or Salter type can be carried out at the same setting, and at the same time results in better and more permanent rehabilitation of the hip than either muscle or tendon transfer or arthroplaty alone and often eliminates braces and the need for hip fusion, and thus a flail hip can be functionally salvaged. Our approach has become more aggressive in recent years, and we sometimes do not hesitate radical operations in children below 5 years of age or in convalescent stage of poliomyelitis in order to prevent further progression of hip deformities. More recently, Sharrards posterior transplantation of the iliopsoas tendon, originally described for reconstruction of paralytic hips in meningomyelocele, was carried out in 4 cases of residual poliomyelitis and we are satisfied with the initial results.

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

Chromosome Aberrations*

The purpose of this study was to determine whether workers at a factory next to a lead recycling factory in Pusan, were affected by lead contamination. The mean air lead concentration of lead recycling factory was 0.21mg/m3(TWA=0.05mg/m3). Thirty-nine male workers of Factory A, Cr. plating factory next to the lead recycling factory were exposed group and a comparison group, 62 male workers of Factory B were selected from another Cr. plating factory about 8.5km away from lead recycling factory. Air lead concentration of each workplace was checked for 4 times from August 5 to August 20 in 1995 by low volume air sampler. Each subject was interviewed about age, life-style, smoking, work history, and residence etc, and venous blood was drawn for lead measurement by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. We have observed that air lead concentration and blood lead concentration of Factory A was higher than Factory B(2.6 +/- 1.6 Vs. 1.2 +/- 0.2 microgram/m3, 14.9 +/- 1.6 Vs. 12.2 +/- 1.6 microgram/dl). We believe that other environmental lead sources such as transportation and residence did not affect air lead and blood lead concentration differences of both factory. We concluded that high air lead and blood lead concentration of Factory A were caused by lead contamination generated by the neighboring lead recycling factory.
