Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is generally localized in the anterosuperior aspect of the head. The posterior part of the head often retains a normal, smooth contour containing healthy cartilage even in much advanced cases. Because of this anatomical localization of the lesion, Y. Sugioka has devised a transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy in young and middle-aged person, which reduces the weight-bearing force on the necrotic area, and transfers shearing forces to the healthy posterior cartilage of the femoral head to prevent progressive collapse of the articular surface and improve alignment when articular collapse followed femoral head subluxiation. The authors reviewed 13 cases of Sugioka operation, performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital during the period from December 1983 to Feburary 1986 and the following results were obtained. 1. There were 11 males and 1 female. The average age of the 13 cases was 33.3 years. 2. In all the cases of Grade I and Grade II hips, there was not progressiveness of necroticarea of femur heads. 3. By U.C.L.A. hip rating system, preoperative mean scores of pain, walking ability, function and activity were 2.5, 5.7, 4.8 and 4.3, respectively, while postoperative scores of these were increased to 7.7, 9.5, 8.4 and 7.8, respectively. 4. Average ranges of motion of hip joint were increased more postoperatively than preoperatively.

Immunosuppressive therapy based on the use of antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) has become standard therapy for patients with splastic anemia who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation. In this study, T cell subsets before and after ALG therapy, hematologic responses, complications and prognostic factors were analysed. Eleven (42%) out of twenty-six patients treated with ALG showed response, but two patients showed relapse. Most of the response (9 cases) was noticed within 6 months after the initiation of ALG therapy (median: 3 months). The main complications of ALG therapy were fever (91%), thrombocytopenia (86%), neutropenia (63%), and serum sickness (56%). Four patients were died just ALG therapy because of serum sickness (2 cases), intracranial hemorrhage (1 case), and shock (1 case). Short interval from diagnosis to treatment suggested to show good response (P=0.0575), but it was not significant statistically. Lymphocyte subsets were measured in the blood of 23 patients. Helper T/suppressor T cell ratio (T4/T8 ratio) at the initiation of ALG therapy (day 0) was higher significantly in patients who were responded (P=0.0299). The patients who showed above 1.0 of T4/T8 ratio on day 0 might be speculated good response (P=0.032). More difference of T4/T8 ratio between day 14 after ALG therapy and day 0 might show good response (P=0.0673). Then the actuarial probability of survival at 3 years in patients treated with ALG was 77%. Our data suggest that ALG therapy may be used as an alternative treatment to bone marrow transplantation, and T4/T8 ration of peripheral blood at the initiation of therapy may be used as one of the prognostic factors.

8.A new culture system for in situ observation of the growth and development of Eucyclops serrulatus (Copepoda: Cyclopoida) .

A practical and convenient method of rearing Eucyclops serrulatus in a microculture environment is described. A complete life cycle of E. serrulatus was maintained in a narrow space on a microscope slide glass on which a cover glass of 22 x 40 mm in size was mounted at a height of 0.8 mm. The culture medium was constituted by bottled mineral water boiled with grains of Glycine max (soybean). Chilomonas paramecium, a free-living protozoan organism, was provided as live food. Growth of nauplii hatched from eggs to the first stage of copepodite took an average of 7.7 days, and the growth of copepodite 1 to the egg-bearing adult female took an average of 20.1 days in the microculture cell with an average life time of 44.7 days. Continuous passage of copepods was successfully maintained as long as sufficient medium and food were provided. The microculture method enables an in situ microscopic observation on the growth and developmental process of helminth larvae experimentally infected to copepods as well as of copepod itself. Furthermore, it does not require anesthetization and, therefore, minimize the amount of stress exposed to copepods during the handling process.

Using Burian-Allen bipolar contact lens electrode, Authors examined the normal 120 eyes of 120 subjects(male 57, female 63), age ranged 7 to 83 years(mean 44.5 years), with the method which was same as the ISCEV standard. There was no statistically significant differences between the value obtained using Burian-Allen electrode and the value obtained using ERG-jet electrode(p>0.05). We expect that this data would be useful testing method to evaluate the retinal disease. And this data may provide new reference value in the study of electroretinogram.
