Various clinical and pathologic parameters in order to determine the prognosis of gastric carcinoma have been proposed. Among them "carcinoma with lymphoid stroma" has been proven to show good prognosis. But the criteria of lymphoid stroma in this condition remain vague and not clear. A total of 7 cases of gastric carcinoma with heavy lymphoid stromal response out of 947 surgically resected gastric carcinomas was reviwed with histotopographic analysis. They were all advanced carcinoma, Borrmann type I and II. Histologically, the lymphoid stromal response could be divided into three patterns; nodular (3 cases), diffuse (3 cases) and mixed (1 case). The nodular pattern was characterized by massive lymphoid cell infiltration with many follicle formation and little desmoplastic reaction, while the diffuse pattern showed diffuse permeative type of inflammatory cell infiltration with scarce lymphoid follicle formation and mild desmoplasia. Regional lymph node metastasis was found in 2 cases; one in diffused and another one in mixed pattern. The stromal reaction was not directly related with the depth of tumor invasion. We propoose that the term GCLS should be used in the cases of nodular pattern with complete follicle formation of lymphoid stroma.

This study was conducted to analyze the relations among nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitude eating practice and total nutritional diagnosis and also to find the influencing factors of them. The survey was done during the period from April 1990 to June 1990 and the target population were Ewha Woman's University students (freshmen and senior) of whom 1,354 peoples were surveyed. The summarized results are as follows ; 1. For the learning environment, the percentage of completion on nutritional knowledge course was 28.6% and among them the department of foods and nutrition had the highest score(100.0%) and the next was dept. of medicine(53.4%). 2. To find the relation which the nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitude, eating practice and the total nutritional diagnosis influence on one another, the multiple correlation analysis was done. The attitude the practice were highly correlated with total nutritional diagnosis, but the correlation between nutritional knowledge and total nutritional diagnosis was not significant. The correlation between the practice and nutritional knowledge which were positively and significantly correlated with attitude respectively was positive but not significant. 3. The difference which were analyzed by department, grade and completion on knowledge course on the nutritional knowledge, attitude, eating practice were significant (p<0.01) by ANOVA. 4. The significant variables on nutritional diagnosis are the eating practice points, the grade, the knowledge course, the breakfast and the attitude (r2=10.3%) by multiple regression analysis. This study has the limitation that it did not consider the environmental factors of dietary life such as dietary culture, family environment, cultural habit. Therefore important points of these dietary studies are to extend to the practical nutritional education and dietary improvement for the national health not restricted to the local area or local population.

In the treatment of posterior cruciate ligament injury, posterior displacerrient of tibia might be occured because of the direction of gravity due to weight of lower leg. To prevent this problem several methods have been introduced, but not settled yet. Therfore the author tried to solve this problem by applying Quengel brace that was firstly described by Mommsen in 1922 and perfected by Jordan using the correction of flexion contracture of the knee in hemophiliacs. But owing to the development of some problems in original hinge for prevention of posterior displacement of tibia after posterior cruciate ligament injury, we modified the design of the hinge that more effective anterior traction force should be operated on tibia. The authors applied Quengel brace including original and modified hinge to 21 cases of posterior cruciate ligament injury between June 1983 and May 1986. The followings were obtained. 1. By modification of the hinge, more effective anterior traction force operated on tibia without pressure sore or joint narrowing. 2. On clinical application of modified Quengel brace, posterior displacement of tibia were prevented effectively.

Nine patients with ipsilateral tibial shaft fractures and knee ligament injuries were retrospectively reviewed to determine the methods of the diagnosis and the results of the treatment. The incidence of this combined injuries was 5% in one hundred and eighty two tibial shaft fractures. The injuries of posterior cruciate ligament were combined most freqently. Five of nine patients were open fractures. Bone union was obtained in all cases and the mean duration of bone union was 22.5 weeks. Athroscopy and stress X-ray for the cruciate ligament were helpful to diagnose this combined injures. The ligament injuries were surgically managed in eight and conservatively in one. Better results were obtained when this combined injuries were operated early, but four of nine patients were disabled. The results suggest that the examination of the knee is necessary to document ligamentous injuries that occur with tibial shaft fractures.

This is to present 44 cases of hip fractures, of these 28 being fractures of femoral neck and the remainder, intertrochanteric, which were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital for four years and 8 months from Jan. 1965 to Aug. 1969. 1. There were 33 males. and 11 females in the series. 26 cases(59.1) were over 51 years of age. 2. The femoral neck fractures were treated by means of Smith Petersen nailing in 16 cases, modified Girdlestone hip arthroplasty in 3 cases, Austin-Moore hip prosthesis in 6 cases and other methods in 3 cases. 3. Modified Girdlestone hip arthroplasty could be a treatment of choice for femoral neck fracture requiring hip arthroplasty for those unsuitable for extensive surgery. 4. The intertrochanteric fractures of femur except for 3 unstable fractures were treated successfully with the Smith-Petersen nail and plate, following anatomical reduction of fracture. In 3 unstable fractures, satisfactory stabilization and internal fixation was obtained by the method of medial displacement of proximal part of distal fragment of fracture.

The Congenital Ulnar Drift of the fingers is a relatively uncommon and has symmetrical malformations of hand, face and foot characterized by MP joint flexion contracture and ulnarward deviation of the fingers and microstomia, In tarsal deformity, there are clubfoot and congenital vertical talus with rocker bottom deformity. In treatment, the report of the surgical treatment was rare. We experienced congenital ulnar drift of fingers in 2 patients in one family, which were treated by dome resection corrective osteotomy of the metacarpals. Therefore remarkable symptomatic improvement was obtained.

A 25 year old patient who had low back pain and sciatica was diagnosed as having a lumbar intraspinal extradural synovial cyst adjacent to a facet joint between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. The extradural defects defined with positive contrast myelography and postmyelographic computed tomographic scanning were posterolateral to the dural sac. Biopsy revealed the findings compatible with synovial cyst. Treatment consisted of laminectomy and surgical excision of the cyst.

Local deposition of antibiotics has become increasing popular in the management of open fractures or osteomyelitis, and several substances have been employed as the vehicle for delivery. Although the elution characteristics of some substances have been documented, a comparative study of the characteristics of the commonly used substances were performed in order to establish the clinical indications for particular vehicles. Carriers were prepared, which were human iliac cancellous bone, bovine cancellous bone matrix(Lubboc?), absorbable gelatin sponge(Gelfoam?), fibrin glue(Beriplast? P) and polymethylmethacrylate(CMW?) for elution characteristics of vancomycin. The each carriers were immersed on the 20 ml of PBS and then obtained the samples for analysis of concentration of vancomycin at first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, fourteenth, twenty-first, twenty-eighth day after immersion. The assay technique was fluorescent polarization immunoassay(Abbott, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.). Nearly 50% of vancomycin was released from human iliac cancellous bone, Lubboc? and fibrin glue during the first 3 days, and negligible after first week. Gelatin sponge produced high local concentration of vancomycin during the first week. PMMA eluted the only 6% of vancomycin during the first day and trace amount detected as long as 4 weeks. There are significant statistical difference among carriers at second and fourth week(ANOVA test, P < 0.05). The authors considered that human iliac cancellous bone, Lubboc? ,Gelfoam? and fibrin glue may be best employed when brief antibiotic coverage is required, whereas PMMA may be better suited for long-term coverage.
