The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1998;33(2):246-253
Fifty-eight primary total hip arthroplasties with hyhrid cemented femoral component using contemporary cementing technique and cementless acctahular cup were followed for a minimum 3 year(ranged, 36 to 67 months, mean 4.1 years). Thc average age of the patients at the time of the operation was 54 years(ranged, 22 to 73 years). The preoperative common diagnosis were avascular necrosis of femoral head in 38 hips and miscellaneou. in 20 hips. The mean Harris hip score was 61 in preoperative and 91 in postoperative at last Follow-up. 5-1 hips(92%) were rated excellent and good clinically. One hip was revised for aseptic loosening of the femoral stem at 52 months follow-up. Radiographically no acetahular component was loose. Three femoral stems were definitely loose, one stem was classfied as prohahle loosenine and another one was ratde as possible loosening. There was no progressive radiolucent dermaation ol' cement-hone interf'ace in stable fermoral steni. Non progressive cement-bone radiolucency was lound seven hips in zone 1, two hips in zone 6, one hip in zone 2 and one hip in zone 7 at last follow-up. There were two postoperalive dislocations. Other complications included superficial infection(two hips) and sciatic nervc palsy(one hip). Our experience showed that the hyhrid hip replaccment with improved cementing technique provided satisfactory results at minimum 3 year follow-up study and emphasized the importantance of careful cementing techniques in survival ot cemented I'cmoral stem.

In children, the supracondylar fractures of the humerus are common in elbow region, and often associated with various complications and problems in treatment (ie,Volkmann's ischemic contracture, cubitus valgus or varus deformity, rotational deformity). The results of reduction can be measured by Baumann's angle, carrying angle, trochlea-capitellum angle, and displacement of distal radial styloid process on radiological study. So we have made experiments on the process which various three dimensional displacements reflected into two dimensional Baumann's angle and humerocapitellar angle. And we investigated the process of rotation, through various radiological studies by means of molded models of humerus. The results were as follows:l. In experiments, AP & lateral X-ray studies showed no change in rotation of proximal segment of fracture with fixed distal segment of fracture. 2. On the other hand, AP & lateral X-ray showed significant change, in rotation of proximal fracture segment with distal segment of fracture. 3. Supracondylar rotation angle(S.R.A.)depicted as the ratio of the length of proximal fracture width minus that of the distal fracture width in lateral view, to the length of distal fracture width in AP view minus that of the distal fracture width in lateral view. 4. According to the modified Mitchell result, S.R.A. to the result of treatment was average 7.6 degree in excellent group, 15.2 degree in good group and 29.3 degree in unsatisfactory group.

Soft denture liners or conditioners may be valuable therapeutic materials. The life of these liners is short and varies, but it can be extended by the use of a mono-poly(polymethyl methacrylate coating material). This study determined whether coating three temporary soft denture liners with mono-poly affected the resiliency of soft liners, and evaluated the ability of mono-poly to prevent water absorption and alcohol loss from the underlying soft liners. 20x12mm cylindrical specimens of Coe-Soft, Soft-Liner, Coe-Comfort soft lining materials were made and divided into two groups of mono-poly uncoated(control) and mono-poly coated specimens. Specimens were immersed in water and compressed on an instron universal testing machine and weighted at initial, 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. resiliency was determined by measuring the energy absorbed by the soft liners when stressed to a specific yield point. Mono-poly coating significantly increased the resiliency of the Soft-Liner, but had no effect on the other soft liners. Among the 3 soft liners, Soft-Liner showed the hightest resiliency and modulus of elasticity. The weight loss in Soft-Liner was the least among the 3 liners, and the weight loss in Coe-Soft was decreased by monopoly coating.

Many factors exert an influence on enzyme activity and thus on the rate of reactions that they catalyse. The most important of these factors are pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and the concentration of some inhibitors present. A solution of the enzyme diastase, which breaks down molecules of the polysaccharide starch to the disaccharide maltose by hydrolysis, was provided. Activity of these enzyme was measured by the rate at which starch was removed from the reaction mixture. These experiments were designed to study this reaction rate under varying conditions and the following results were obtained. 1. The range of optimum pH for this enzyme at room temperature was 4.0-7.0 and the optimum pH was 5.0. 2. The range of optimum temperatures for this enzyme at pH 7.0 was 30-50 degrees C and the optimum temperature was 40 degrees C. 3. The relationship between the enzyme activity and substrate concentration could be expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equation. The limiting velocity of these enzyme at room temperature and pH 7.0 was 415 microgram starch removed/ml of reaction mixture/min and Km, Michaelis constant, was 343 microgram/ml. 4. Inhibitors NaCl and HgCl2 blocked this enzyme activity completely at 1% and 0.01% respectively.

PURPOSE: We analyzed the clinical outcome of osteosarcoma developed in distal radius and the effect of delayed treatment on prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients with distal radius osteosarcoma were analysed. We categorized patients into two groups of standard treatment or non-standard treatment. The patients of standard treatment group are all stage IIB and non-standard treatment group includes five stage IIB and one stage III. RESULTS: Five-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates of standard treatment group were 100% and 83%. Five-year overall survival rate of non-standard treatment group was 44%. Between two group, there are differences in age, tumor size, surgery type, symptom duration. CONCLUSION: Distal radius osteosarcoma have good prognosis than other extremity osteosarcoma. Survival rate of non-standard treatment group were lower than standard treatment group. Although the prognosis of non standard treatment group is poorer, the duration till death was longer than that of other sites with similar condition. Further multi-institutional study should be needed.

BACKGROUND: The human keratinocyte can synthesize interleukin 6 (IL-6) under certain conditions, and the IL-6 synthesis is inhibited by interleukin 4 (IL-4) in the human monocyte. OBJECTIVE: To find out what kind of stimulating agents can induce the IL-6 production and whether IL-4 affects the production of IL-6 in the human cultured keratinocytes. METHODS: We stimulated the keratinocytes with either lipopolysaccharide (LPS), fetal bovine serum (FBS), human recombinant interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma) to induce the IL-6 production, and treated the keratinocytes, which stimulated either with 10% FBS or human recombinant IFN-gamma, with human recombinant IL-4. RESULTS: The LPS stimulation resulted in no increase of IL-6 levels in the keratinocyte supernatants. When the keratinocytes were stimulated either with 1%, 5%, 10% FBS with or without 5 microgram/ml LPS, significantly increased amounts of IL-6 were detected. The level of IL-6 in the keratinocytes treated with the human recombinant IFN-gamma increased, too. The human recombinant IL-4 downregulates the secretion of IL-6 by the keratinocytes which were activated either with 10% FBS or human recombinant IFN-gamma. CONCLUSION: We have shown that it is possible to induce the IL-6 synthesis by stimulating the keratinocytes and that human recombinant IL-4 profoundly inhibits the synthesis of IL-6. So we suggest that there may be a cytokine network which regulates the primary immune response in the skin.
