In orper to measure the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in psoriasis, 60 psoriatic patients and 30 healthy subjects were included in this study. Lopez-Virells methos was applied for measuring the serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The results were obtained as follows. The level of serurn HDL cholesterol was 58. 39+17. 40 mg/dl in psoratcs and 50.3+0.31 mg/dl in healthy subjects and 50. 43+ 10. 31 mg/dl in healthy subjects. No significant differences were noted between psoriatics & healthy subjects. 2. The level of serum HDL cholesterol was 56. 40+19. 10 mg/dl in male group of psoriatics and 60. 00+15.47 mg/dl in female group of psoriatics and 48.3+9. 50 mg/dl in healthy male group and 52.60 -10.59 mg/dl in healthy female group. No significant differences of serum HDL cholesteol levels were noted in both sexes.3. The mean value of serum HDL cholesterol by age groups of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 years old with psoriasis were 50. 70 mg/dl, 61. 97 mg/dl, 57. 44 mg/dl, 49. 11 mg/dl and 70. 36 mg/dl, respectively and those of healthy groups were 57. 25 mg/ dl, 45. 17 rng/dl, 50. 97 rng/dl, 48. 07 mg/dl and 46. 98 mg/dl, respectively.

The spinal injuries were classified into bursting fracture, fracture-dislocation, seat-belt injury, compression fracture according to the three column theory by Denis. The bursting fracture and fracture-dislocation required the most careful planning. So, myelography, computerized tomography enabled us to diagnose the spinal fracture including retropulsed bony fragment into the spinal canal. There was much controversy as to appropriate treatment af unstable thoraco-lumbar fractures. The frequent surgical treatment of thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures was still posterior spinal instrumentation including Harrington rod system. Since 1964, the use of anterior spinal instrumentation had been started by Dwyer, Dunn, Kostrik, Slot, and Zielke used anterior spinal instrumentation in unstable thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures, but not popular. This study suggested the experience to accomplish the decompression of the neural elements and stabilization of the spine by using Kandea device in unstable thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures. 12 patients treated with this Kaneda device in unstable thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures were analyzed from Dec. 1988 to May, 1989 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Ewha Womans University Hospital. We obtained the following conclusions. The results were as follows. 1. The common injury mechanism was falling down in 5 cases, the frequent injury site was 1st lumbar vertebra. 2. According to Denis classification, the bursting fractures were in 8 cases(68% ), the fracture-dislocations were in 4 cases(33%). 3. The average preoperative kyphotic angulation was 24.5 degrees(range 8 to 45) and postoperative angulation was 5 degrees(range 2 to 15), the correction rate was 79.6% and correction degree was average 19.5 degrees. 4. The advantages were the fixation of one level above and below the injury site, sufficient neural decompression, firm spinal stabilization, early mobilization with a brace and elimination of the 2nd posterior procedure. 5. The fixation of vertebral plate was difficult due to the invariable size of vertebral plates, especially, in upper thoracic spinal fracture and children's fracture.

A statistical survey was made on 729 inpatients during the period of 4 years and 9 months, 1961-1965, in the Department of Urology, The First Army Hospital, in reference to age distribution, monthly distribution on various diseases of the genitourinary tracts and operative procedures.The tables in the text represent the result of the observation and are summarized as follows: The majority of the patients (85%) was distributed between the ages 21 and 26. Of 729 in patients, there were 270 cases (37%) of genito-urinary tuberculosis, 84 cases (11.5%) of urinary calculus,69 cases of trauma and 60 cases of non-specific urinary tract infection. There were 379 operative procedures including 91 nephrectomies, and 108 epididiymectomies.

We report a interesting case of malignant melanoma associated with squamous cell carcinoma, A 75-year-old woman has been suffered from a 4*3*3cm sized slowly growing protruding mass for 2 years based on the previous existing black or dark brownish colored round plaque on the left buttock since 10 years. A hard fixed lymph node is palpable on the left inguinal area. Biopsy specimens from the plaque and mass revealed typical findings of the superficial spreading malignant rnelanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Simple mass excision and lymph node dissection were performed.
