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.

We investigated the distribution of S-100 protein positive dendritic cells in the skin lesions with tuberculoid sturcture. For this study, we selected the paraffin blocks of biopsied specimens with the characteristic histopathology of lupus vulgaris (5cases), tubereulosis verrucosa cutis (1 case), lupus milaris disseminatus faciei (4 cases), and erythema induratum (7 cases). The cells were identified by immunohistochemical demonstration in paraffin sections. The results were as follows: 1. S-100 protein positive dendritic cells were regularly visualized in all lesions examined. 2. S-100 protein positive dendritic cells appeared usually between the lymphohistiocytic infiltrates around the tuberculoid granulomas in contrast to the cells of monocyte-macrophage system which were within the granulomas. And they appeared occasionally (e.g. in a case of lupus vulgaris) between epitheloid cells in the granulomas. 3. S-100 protein positive dendritic cells were more numerous in the granulomatous lesions which showed the well-formed tuberculoid sturcture. From these results, we suggested the S-100 protein positive dendritic cells act as accessory cells in the pathogenesis of the granulomatous lesions by the delayed type hypersensitivity.

Adenoma of the nipple is a benign tumor of the lactiferous ducts of the nipple which frequently causes erosion of the surface. It can clinically mmic Paget's disease and histologically be misdiagnosed as a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A 20-year-old woman developed an erythematous oozing patch on the right nipple two years ago, which subsequently developed iiito verrucous surfaccd papules. A biopsy specimen of the lesion showed focal acanthosis of the epidermis. The tumor was composed of fairly well-circumscribed, glandlike structures within the nipple stroma. Ductlike struciures, papillary areas, solid nests of cells and cysts lined by squarnous epithelium, could be seen, Two cell types lining the ducts were recognized; inner columnar cells and peripherally located cuboidal cells. Although simple excision of the adenoma is the treatment of choice, our case was treated successfully by electrucoagulation.

A clinical observation of cutaneous complications was made on 200 patients receiving cancer chemotherapy at the Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University from January through May, 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 200 patients, 191 case(95. 5%) showed cutaneous complications 2. The cutaneous complications included the following; hyperpigmentation(14l cases, 70. 5%), alopecia(138 cases, 69.4%), nail change(118 cases, 59.0%), mucositis(47 cases, 23.5%), dryness of the skin(40 cases, 20.0%), seborrheic dermatitis(24 cases, 12. 2%), increase of seborrheic keratosis(11 cases, 5.6%), folliculitis or acneiform eruptions(9 cases, 4,5%), melasma(6 cases, 3.0%), gynecomastia(3 cases, 1.5%), vessel hardening or dimpling(3 cases, 1.5%), radiation recall(2 cases, 1.0%), hyperhydrosis(2 cases), photosensitivity(1 case, 0.5%), tissue necrosis(1 case), facial flushing(1 case), purpura(1 case) and obesity(1 case), 3 Steps were taken to determine the chemotherapeutic agents causing these cutaneous complications, though in some cases it was difficult in determining exaetlr which chemotherapeutic agent was the cause of the observed cutaneous complication.
