1.A Clinical Study of Zomepirac
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(2):200-205
A clinical study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of Zomepirac in 27 patients who had undergone bone surgery, 13 patients who had soft tissue surgery and 7 non-surgical patients admitted to the department of orthopedic surgery of Hanyang University Hospital from Oct., 1981 to Nov., 1981. The conclusions were as follows: 1. To decrease pain by half, Zomepirac was determined to be much more effective in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 2. The initial pain relief was also more marked in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 3. The duration of analgesia with Zomepirac was longer in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 4. The duration of pain relief after medication with Zomepirac was from 1 to 3 hours in 79.3% of patients. 5. The results of treatment were excellent in 5 patients (10.6%), very good in 5 patients (10.6%), good in 7 patients (14.9%), fair in 4 patients (8.5%), poor in 1 patient (2.2%), when the intensity of pain before treatment was severe; but fair in 13 patients (27.7%), poor in 11 patients (23.3%), when the pain was moderate. Thus the clinical results demonstrated that this medication was remarkably effective in patients with severe pain and much less so in patients with only inoderate pain. 6. Side effects were mild transient drowsiness in 3 patients (6.3%) and gastric colic in 2 patients (4.3%). In patients with drowsiness was continuously administered. The gastric colic subsided when the medication was combined with antacid.

7.Changes of Histopathological Findings with Time in the Dermographism Lesion.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1989;27(1):9-16
Changes of histopathological findings with time were studied after scratching the skin of 37 patients with dermographism. Biopsies were also done in 13 normal healthy controls for comparison with unstroked skin of the patients. 1. Biopsies of unscratched skin of the patients showed no histologic difference from those of the skin from controls. 2. Neutrophils increased in number with time after scratching and maximum neutrophil count (mean 16.08+/-24.17/HPF) was observed at 90 minutes after scratching 3. Eosinophilic infiltration was also similar to that of neutrophils. Maximum eosinophil count (mean 324+/-4.76/HPF) was found at 60 minutes after scratching. 4. L ymphohistiocytic infiltration showed a similar tendency to that of neutrophils, but the degree of change was not so prorninent. 5. Before scratching, mast cell count in patients with dermographism showed no difference in number when compared with norrnal controls. In patients with dermographism, mast; cell count inclined to decrease after scratching. 6. Edema and lymphatic dilatation in the upper dermis were most prominent at 5 minutes after scratching and disappeared slowly thereafter.

In recent years, the incidence of traumatic dislocation of the hip joint appears to be on the increase, year by year, as the rate of traffic and industrial accidents increases. To prevent complications after dislocation of the hip, many authors have pointed out the importance of the early accurate reduction. But many authors have advocated different methods for aftercare treatment. In this paper, the author has reviewed 34 patients of traumatic disolocation of the hip who had been hospitalized and treated at Hanyang University Hospital from May 1972 to Dec. 1980. It was possible to follow 21 of these patients for an average followup period of 54 months. With this study, the following results were obtained. l. Of 34 patients, 31 patients were male and 3 were female. The prevalent age distribution was from 21 to 30 years of age 12 patients (35.3%) showing this distribution. 2. 30 (88.4%) of 34 dislocations of the hip were the result of traffic accidents, 22 of these being auto accidents. 3. The order of incidence according to the Thompson-Epstein classification is; posterior type I (44.1%), III (23.5%) and type II (11.8%). 4. 28 (82.4%) dislocations of the hip were complicated by multiple injuries at other sites. The most common site of associated injury was the ipsilateral lower extremity, which occurred in 15 patients. 5. 27 closed reductions, 5 open reductions and 1 prosthetic replacement of femoral head were performed, and 24 (88.9%) of 27 closed reductions were performed within 24 hours. 6. By Thompson-Epstein method, the author evaluated 21 patients who could be followed for an average of 54 months, and so obtained excellent or good results in 16 patients (71.4%) and fair or poor results in 5 patients (28.6%). Of these 21 patients, 13 patients who were performed closed reduction with 24 hours were results of excellent of good. 7. As complications avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis and ectopic ossification developed in one, four and three patients respectively. In addition 5 patients developed sciatic nerve injuries, 3 of these recovered completely.

PURPOSE: To compare standard laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomies including standard lymph node dissection (LABIG) with hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the HandPort system (HALS) for the removal of early gastric cancers (EGC). METHODS: A prospective study was performed on 26 patients of EGC at Ewha Womans University Mok-Dong Hospital from July 1999 to August 2001. Seventeen patients (Group L) received LABIG using conventional laparoscopy-assisted methods and 9 patients received LABIG using HALS (Group H). We used staplers for the anastomosis, and a standard D2 lymph node dissection was done with ultrasonic shears or electrocautery. RESULTS: In group L, pathologic reports revealed 14 EGC (stage IA 14 cases), and 3 pm cancers (stage IB 1 case, II 2 cases). In group H, there were 9 early gastric cancers (stage IA 8 cases, IB 1 case). Significant differences (P<0.05) were present between group L and H in regards to the number of harvested lymph nodes (30.8 vs 18.9), estimated blood loss (462.1 vs 286.7 ml) and postoperative transfusion amounts (0.59 vs 0 unit). There were no differences in the mean operating time, distance from the lesion to the resection margin, postoperative leukocyte count, frequencies for pain control, wound size, time to diet, weight loss, serum protein, and postoperative hospital stay. Complications were present in 1 case in group L (enterocutaneous fistula) and 1 case in group H (gastric atony). There was one conversion to open surgery in group H. CONCLUSION: LABIG including standard lymph node dissections with both standard laparoscopic surgery and HALS were performed with equal outcome. The choice of surgical method depends on the characteristics of the lesion and the patient's physical factors.
