The researcher intended to investigate the rate absenteeisms and other related statistics among the workers in a steel and iron industry with the criteria and the recommendation of the International Association on Occupational Health. With the well designed questionnaire and interview, 1,882 workers were surveyed from July the 24th to the 28th, 1978. The results were as follows ; The workers who experienced absence were 16.8% in July. The rate of frequency (spells) was as follow ; the frequency (spells) was 1.34, the duration was 2.29, the frequency (persons) was 101.06 and the lost time was 0.63, respectively. The main causes of sickness absence were general symptoms. such as fatigue (50.8%) and gastro-intestinal symptoms (13.8%). The frequency of sick was highly correlated to the frequency of drinking, the amount of smoking, the physical work-load and the amount of drinking, which was analysed by the stepwize multiple regression analysis. The multiple R due to the above mentioned four variables was 0.320 and the R square was 10.3%.

Few morphometric data on the thickness and the inclination of vertebral lamina are found with its frequent involvement in many surgical procedures. The thickness in the middle of right vertebral lamina and the angle between the superior border of lamina and sagittal plane were measured in 90 dried vertebral columns. 1. The laminae of the cervical vertebrae were generally thin and they became gradually thicker down to the lumbar vertebrae. The lamina of the fifth lumbar vertebra was the thickest (9.4mm) and that of the fifth cervical was the thinnest (2.9mm). The thickest lamina appeared in second cervical, twelfth thoracic and fourth lumbar vertebrae in 71%, 44% and 36%, respectively. 2. The angles between superior border of long axes of the laminae and the sagittal plane were the widest in thoracic vertebrae, and narrower in lumbar, the narrowest in cervical vertebrae. The angle of eithth thoracic was the widest (59.8°) and that of the fifth lumbar was the narrowest (48.6°). Widest angle of lamina appeared in seventh cervical, sixth thoracic and fifh lumbar vertebra in 27%, 20% and 48%, respectively. 3. No significant differences were found in the thicknesses and the angles of inclination of vertebral laminae between males and females.

Fiften patients had their split-thickness skin-donor sites treated open using topical thrombin solution. This technique was more convenient compared with commonly using compression dressing technique. Application of topical thrombin solution to the donor sites quickly provided complete hemostasis and became dry within forty-eight hours. Thereafter an almost pain-free donor site and uncomplicated healing was followed in all cases. The two cardinal advantages of this treatment are thought to be followings; 1) It markedly reduces the period of discomfort from the donor site. 2) It encourages rapid, uncomplicated healing of the donor site.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) is a non-operative therapeutic procedure to the dilation ofstenosis or to the recanalization of occlusion in artherosclesrotic atherosclerotic arteries using of dilatationcatheters. PTA was performed 37 times in 34 patients with arteriosclerosis for 1 year and 4 months from March.,1982 to June, 1983 at department of radiology, Klinikum Barmen/west Germany. The results were as follows; 1. Themale to female ratio was 2:1 and peak age range was from 61 to 70. 2. The most common indication was clinicalstage II b with 19 cases(51.3%) 3. PTA was performed most commonly in superficial femoral artery in 25cases(67.5%). 4. Acute major complication occurred in 2 cases(5.4%). PTA is a alternative or complementarytherapeutic procedure to vascular surgery.
