From March 1973 to May 1979 at Hanil Hospital, seven patients with acute complete disiocation and three patients with chronic complete dislocation of the acromloelavlcular Joint had been treated surgically by Weaver and Dunn method which combines resection arthroplasty of the acromioclavicular jolnt with flxation of the clavlcle In an anatomical position by suture of the acromial end of the shortened coracoacromial ligament into the medullary canal of the clavicle. The results were considerably good In both acute and chronic cases. Full range of motion was observed on average In eight weeks in most cases.

Background: Cerebral palsy is due to static encephalopathy during perinatal period. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) involves selective division of posterior nerve roots to reduce spasticity and improve function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Anesthesia during SDR must preserve muscle contraction in response to direct electrical stimulation of the dorsal nerve roots. We did this study to get the better management of anesthesia for SDR. Methods: Anesthetic records were reviewed for 16 patients who underwent SDR during January 1996 to August 1997. Demographic data; anesthetic drugs and doses; changes of vital signs and end tidal CO2; dorsal root stimulation; postoperative pain control were analysed. Results: The mean age of patients was 4.9+/-1.7 years old. The mean weight was 16.3+/-4.0 kg. The under 1 MAC concentration of isoflurane and 2~3 mcg/kg/hr fentanyl did not interfere with electrophysiologic monitoring. Esophageal temperature was increased significantly during electrical stimulation of dorsal roots. End tidal CO2 concentration had a tendency to increase after electrical stimulation too. Direct installation of 10~15 mcg/kg intrathecal morphine prior to dural closure, and postoperative 0.5 mcg/kg/hr fentanyl had a good postoperative analgesia without complication. Conclusions: Isoflurane and fentanyl during anesthesia, and intrathecal morphine with continuous infusion of fentany postoperatively are suggested a good anesthetic method for SDR.

Humeral head chondrolysis has been widely reported as a devastating complication after arthroscopic shoulder surgery; however little is known about post-arthroscopic humeral head osteonecrosis. We experienced a 66-year-old female patient with rapidly progressive osteonecrosis of the humeral head only seven months after arthroscopic Bankart and rotator cuff repair. The patient had no systemic risk factors for osteonecrosis. A satisfactory result was achieved with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for severe humeral head destruction and an irreparable massive rotator cuff tear. Shoulder surgeons should be aware of such severe complication, perform routine radiographs, and pay close attention to the presence of constant pain or loss of motion after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The present study was undertaken to observe the quality and quantity of lipids in the adult worms of Chinese liverfluke, Clonorchis sinensis. Lipid extraction was done by the methods of Folch et a1. (l957) and Kenny (1952), and then the extracted lipid fractions of the worm were separated by thin layer chromatography. Those fractions were also subjected to perform the quantitative analyses of glycerides, cholesterols and phospholipids. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Total amount of glyceride was 37.56 mg per gram of worm tissue and the amount of monoglyceride was 8.34 mg per gm; diglyceride, 15.46 mg per gm; and triglyceride, 12.86 mg per gm. Total amount of cholesterol was 3.30 mg per gm of worm tissue, and the esterified cholesterol (1.72 mg/gm) was a little more than that of free cholesterol (1.26 mg/gm). The following 8 phospholipids were detected in the worm tissue of C. sinensis, i.e., lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylcholine, phophatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown phospholipid.

BACKGROUND: Hydrofluoric acid burns are occuring with ever-increiisir g frequency due to the wide use of this acid in industrial fields, such as electronics and semiconductor i idustries. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of thie study was to evaluate the clinical charateristics of hydrofluoric acid burn. This study will give basic information of hydrofluoric acid burn to the dermatologists who are not familiar with hydrofluoric acid. METHOD: Twenty-two patient who were diagnosed as having hydroiluiiric acid burns at koryo General Hospital(1986-1993) were irraluated clinical)y. Forteen were malc ar d eight were female, most of them were in their third decade. RESULTS: The results are sumrnurised as follows 1. Latent periods were variabie from 30 min. to 3 days. Most patients recognized their chemical burn several hours after exposure. 2. Foot & sole (9 cases) and fingers (7 cases) were most frequently in olved. In 7 cases, nails were also involved. 3. Pain was the most. commori iuobjective symptom. 4. Skin lesions showed erytherna, erythematous swelling, erosion, bulla., necrosis, pigmentation and crust, formation, progressii ely. 5. Treatment Wet dressing with Hyami-solution and topical application of ai tibiotics or steroidointment were sufficient in mild case. In severe cases, intralesional injection of calcium glucoante was perfirmed. Debridement was also performed after the progn ssion of tissue damage stopped. Nails were extracted in cases involving nails. CONCLUSION: Hydrofluoric acid burn is characterized clinically by severc progessive tissue destruction and excruciating pain. Dermatologists need to be aware of the clinical features of hydroclucric acid burn and its proper treatment.
