Tuberculosis of the spine had been treated with posterior fusion of the spine mostly in 1950s and anterior fusion in 1960s in Korea. Posterior fusion is more simple procedure but cannot decompress in cord involvement nor confirm the diagnosis. Anterior fusion alone induce ofen progressive kyphosis in children who has more than two joint spaces involvement or who has already moderate kyphosis, and is hard to get solid anterior fusion in moderate or severe kyphosis in adult tuberculosis, Combined anterior and posterior fusion had been carried out in one or two stage since early 1970s and satisfactory results were obtained in 27 cases with follow up period of 6 moriths to 6 years. It is found that there are many advantages of one stage spine fusion and the patient tolerated the procedure well. It is concluded that the treatment of choice in most of the spine tuberculosis in children who has moderate kyphosis or more than two level involvement, and moderate kyphosis in adult are anterior and posterior fusion in one stage.

Bedside filtration for white celI(WBC) reduction of red cell concentrates(RBCs) has been performed to reduce the workload of blood bank personnel. However, a high incidence of filtration failure with bedside filters was recognized by several investigators. We therefore evaluated the efficiency of the bedside filter under various conditions that might be important variables such as temperature of the blood units, flow rate and possibly, filtration techniques performed. We used 29 bedside filters(RCXL2, Pall Corporation, USA) and total of 58 units of CPDA-1 RBCs for this study. Thirty eight refrigerated RBCs were filtered at fast flow with or without mixing the blood cells in a bag to resuspend the possible blood cell aggregates. And another 20 units were filtered at slow flow(2 hours) with or without mixing after 1 hour incubation at room temperature. Pre-, intra-, and post-filtration blood samples were collected and residual white cells were counted using Nageotte hemocytometer. A higher contamination of white cells was found in the units filtered after mixing at slow flow(mean 2.99 x 105/unit) than at fast flow(mean 1.31 x 10S/unit) and in the units filtered at slow flow without mixing(mean 6.11 x 10S/unit) than with mixing(mean 2.46x 10S/unit). Our data suggested that filtration at slow flow decrease the efficiency of WBC reduction, especially after omitting the mixing process before filtration.

A study on the sickness distribution and mode of treatment in rural area was conducted during the period from July '75 to Aug. '75 using 1,225 households, 7,918 population (4,017 male, 3,901 female) and 343 cases that found during the period of survey who had been lived in nammyon, Hwasoongun, Chonnam. The summarized results were as follows : 1. Average family number per household was 6.5 and prevalence rate was 43.3 (21.2 for male, 22.1 for female). 2. General sickness distribution by classification of disease according to W.H.O. was highest in disease of the nervous system and sense organs (21.3%), and important others were disease of the digestive system (16.9%) and disease of the respiratory system (14.8%). In male, distribution was in order of downward disease of digestive system, disease of nervous system and sense organs, disease of skin, cellular tissue, bones and organs of movement , and disease of respiratory system. In female, distribution was in order of downward disease of nervous system and sense organs, disease of respiratory system, disease of digestive system, and disease of skin, cellular tissue, bones and organs of movement. 3. Types of treatment in both sexes were showed that home and folkmedicine (41.1%), pharmacy (24.5%), admission to hospital or clinic (16.9%), out-patient clinic (10.8%) ad herbmedicine (6.7%) in downward order. Hospital and clinic utility rate was 27.8% (31.5 for male, 24.0 for female) and it was highest in 0-4 age groups and lowest in 40-49 year age groups. 4. Hospital and clinic utility rate was highest in neoplasms, and the other hands, disease of the nervous system and sense organs and disease of the digestive system were the highest groups in the all types of treatment other than hospital and clinic. 5. On the results of treatment not, exactly replied answer was the highest (41.7%) and only 16.0% said complete recovery, In completely recovered cases, hospital and clinic using group was predominant (58.2%) and in aggravated cases home and folkmedicine using group was highest.
