2 cases of extensive open tibia fracture and 1 case of infecture of tibia were treated by Papineaus cancellous bone graft at department of orthopedic surgery, Inchon Christian Hospital from Dec. 1982 to Dec. 1984. 1. Bony stability was obtained by pin and resin method in 1 case, and the others were fixed by Hoffmanns external fixator. 2. Wound was healed spontaneously in case 1 and by skin graft in 2 cases. 3. Initial weight bearing started after evidence of radiological union about 12 weeks after bone graft with the supply of long leg brace in 2 cases and one was not supported.

The authors observed 4 cases of retinitis punctata albescens presented in a family, namely, a sister and 3 brothers of 6 siblings. Typical fundus findings were found in all four patients. Under ordinary illumination, the perripheral visual field was within the limit of normal, but concentrically contracted in 5 to 30 degrees under the reduced illumination.

Xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare, genetically determined dermatosis, is often cornplicated by malignant chagnes of various types-most commonly, basal-cell epithelioma, squamous cell epithelioma, less frequently malignant meIanoma, keratoacanthoma, fibrosarcoma, and endothelioma have been reported. In Korea, no case has ever been reported in literature except four cases at a symposium for dermatology, two of them complicated by basal-cell epithelioma, and the others by squamous cell epithelioma. This case reported was complicated by squamous cell epithelioma. As one of the anticancer treatments, especially for skin cancer, Bleomycin is, now, drawing the attention for its high therapeutic index with only few side effects. For this case, we injected Rleomycin 15mg at once, twice a week, for 8 weeks, So total injection was 16 times and 240mg of Bleomycin was given in total. While this amount given for this case was not enough for the complete treatment of squamous cell epithelioma, we got the following results: 1. Clinically, the ulcerated lesion of the cancer on the right ala nasi had shrunken in size with reepithelialization at the margin showing clear surface, and 2. microscopically, the atypical cancer cell masses and individual cell keratinizations had been decreased in size and in number, and less remarkable comparing to those in untreated stage at his first visit to the hospital.

PURPOSE: To analyze the affecting factor of lens in pathogenesis of acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG) and the effect of selected cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: A survey was conducted on 25 eyes of 21 patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma accompanied by senile cataract against 21 eyes of 16 age-matched normal persons. Biometric measurements were made in both groups in order to analyze an affecting factor of lens in APACG. Before and after selected cataract extraction, other clinical findings were also evaluated. RESULTS: Biometric measurements such as anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), ACD/axial length (AXL), LT/AXL, and relative lens position (RLP) were significantly larger for the 25 eyes of the 21 patients with APACG than the 21 eyes of the 16 age-matched normal persons (P<0.05). After selecting cataract extraction with IOL implantation, improved biometric measurements and clinical findings revealed the effectiveness of that operation. CONCLUSIONS: Selected cataract extraction with IOL implantation could be successful as primary surgery in APACG accompanied by senile cataract over intraocular pressure control and visual acuity improvement for lens factor removal of APACG.

The main cause of vesicovaginal fistula is gynecologic or obstetric manipulation, but vesicovaginal fistula as a complication of genitourinary tuberculosis is extremely rare. The diagnosis is confirmed by the histological findings, and treatment is surgical repair with antituberculous medication. We report here on the presentation and management of extensive tuberculosis that led to formation of a vesicovaginal fistula in an adult.

The peripheral vascular occlusion in the diabetes was studied in fifty-nine male and forty-six female diabetic patients by means of doppler flow meter performed on the dorsalis pedis arteries & post. tibial arteries of the both lower limbs. Patients were divided into two groups, one with occlusion and the other without occlusion. Various predisposing factors causing peripheral vascular occlusions were examined. The results are summerized as follows: 1. Peripheral vascular occlusions were more prevalent in male than in female (male: 25.4%, female: 17.4%). 2. In male patients age, plasma cholesterol level & smoking were statically significant among the various predisposing factors between occlusion & nonocclusion groups. 3. In female patients, duration of diabetes mellitus and the sugar levels of fasting blood and post prandial 2 hours were statiscally significant.
