Although the primary repair has been recognized so far, the tendon graft is reported as a primary treatment method for tendon injury in no man's land of Bunnel, judging from the state of injured hand, the ability of operator and the environment of medical operation. The 27 cases of tendon graft that were operated for 11 years from June, 1973 to June, 1984 in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine have been followed up for clinical study. The results were as follows: 1. The Material of this study was composed of 13 males (21 cases) and 5 females (6 cases) whose age were from 8 to 39 years old. 2. The injured fingers were classified with 3 thumbs, 6 index fingers, 7 middle fingers, 8 ring fingers and and 3 little fingers out of 27 cases and all injured parts of fingers were Zone II except that of thumb which was Zone IV of Bunnel. 6 patients were injured more than 2 fingers. 3. The duration from tendon injury to tendon graft which scattered from 1 month to 9 years and averaged out to 28.2 months is supposed to have little relation to post-operative results. 4. The post-operative results showed up 9 excellent, 7 good and 1 fair out of 17 cases in good gmup, 3 good and 6 fair out of 9 cases in cicatrix group, 1 fair out of 1 case in nerve damage group at pre-operative state. 5. The post-operative results of thumb which show up 2 excellent, 1 good out of 3 cases were most successful among those of all fingers. 6. The pre-operative state is supposed to have great relation to post-operative state judging from 94% satisfactory results of good group at pre-operative state. 7. As multiple injury makes little difference from single injury, the injured state of each hand is supposed to an important effect on post-operative results. 8. As all electric bumed injury show up fair except that of thumb, they are supposed to have unsatisfactory results.

Colonna capsular arthroplasty is a two-stage procedure for congenital dislocation of the hip, but is not suitable for congenital subluxation. The bone architecture of the femoral head should approach the nearly normal and the child preferably should be more than three years old and less than eight if the best functional result is to be obtained. These brief case reports of five patients who could be followed for from one year and one month to more than seventeen years document the fact that the procedure may produce a hip with an excellent roentgenographic appearance and enduring satisfactory function.

CD99 plays an critical role in the diapedesis of monocytes, T cell differentiation, and the transport of MHC molecules. Engagement of CD99 by agonistic monoclonal antibodies has been reported to trigger multifactorial events including T cell activation as well as cell-cell adhesion during hematopoietic cell differentiation. In this study, to identify the functional domains participating in the cellular events, we mapped the epitopes of CD99, which are recognized by two agonistic CD99 monoclonal antibodies, DN16 and YG32. Using recombinant fusion proteins of GST with whole or parts of CD99, we found that both antibodies interact with CD99 molecules independently of sugar moieties. DN16 mAb detected a linear epitope located in the amino terminal region of CD99 while YG32 mAb bound another linear epitope in the center of the extracellular domain. To confirm that the identified epitopes of CD99 are actually recognized by the two mAbs, we showed the presence of physical interaction between the mAbs and the fusion proteins or synthetic peptides containing the corresponding epitopes using surface plasmon resonance analyses. The dissociation constants of DN16 and YG32 mAbs for the antigen were calculated as 1.27 X 10(-7) and 7.08 X 10(-9) M, respectively. These studies will help understand the functional domains and the subsequent signaling mechanism of CD99.

BACKGROUND: The main cause of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease is known to be atherosclerotic processing. In patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease, other atherosclerotic diseases are frequently combined, especially coronary artery disease. There were some suggestions that the risk factors of the atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease be different from the those of the coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent risk factors for the atheroslerotic peripheral vascular disease(PVD) without influence of coronary artery disease(CAD). METHODS: The study population was male patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease(n=66) documented by peripheral angiogram form February 1991 to Octobor 1993, and during their abmission all patients with suspected atherosclerotic peripheral vascular diaease underwent both peripheral angiogram and coronary angiogram. Careful history taking and physical examination and lipid battery sampling after at least 14 hours of fasting were also performed. RESULTS: 60% of patients with peripheral vascular disease also had coronary artery disease. There was no significant difference in total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholestrerol, triglyceride between patients with peripheral vascular disease and age-matched control. The prevalence of hypertension was higher in patients with peripheral vascular disease but with no statistical significance. Smoking(p<0.0001) and diabetes(p<0.05) were strongly associated with peripheral vascular disease. When patients without coronary artery disease were compared to control from the viewpoint of risk factors again, the results were the same, that is, smoking and diabetes were also associated with periperal vascular diseaes. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of associated coronary artery disease was relatively high in patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease. And smoking and diabetes seem to be important risk factors of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

Infiltrating lipoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that, in spite of benign nature, characteristically infiltrates adjacent tissues and tends to recur after surgery. It has a predilection for the extremities and the trunk and is extremely rare in the head and neck region. We present a case of congenital infiltrating lipoma of the face, describing the intrabony invasion and osseous dystrophy as well as the soft tissue changes seen on plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Thrombolytics-induced recanalization fails in a significant portion of patients with ischemic stroke, which is partly due to the resistance of clots to lysis by thrombolytic agents. The pretreatment level of endogenous fibrinolysis inhibitors may affect such thrombolysis failure. METHODS: We studied 43 stroke patients whose arterial recanalization had been evaluated by angiography, and whose blood had been obtained prior to the administration of thrombolytic agents. Plasma samples from 34 healthy volunteers were used as normal controls. Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) levels were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Arteries were recanalized [Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 2 or 3] in 30 patients, but not (TIMI grade 0 or 1) in the other 13. The plasma PAI-1 level was significantly higher in patients without recanalization (nonrecanalization) than in those with recanalization and in normal controls. The TAFI levels did not differ among the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The pretreatment PAI-1 levels are increased in acute stroke patients with thrombolysis failure.
