A case of eavernous hemangiomatosis involving alI tendon sheath of flexors and median nerve of the right forearm is reported. This case was a 22 year old Korean male who complained of painful swelling of the flexor side of right wrist region, limited motion of wrist joint, loss of pinching and opposition with tingling sensation on the admission. Roentgenographic examination revealed fusiform swelling of the soft tissues in flexor aspect of the right wrist region, with phlebolith, 3mm. in diameter. The tumor mass looked like strawberry in shape, and was scattered into all tendon sheath of flexors of the forearm, median nerve, the distal half of pronator quadrtus and other surrounding soft tissues. The specimen was confirmed as cavernous hemangioma in microscopic examination. The right long arm splint was applied for 3 weeks, and then the patient was treated with physical therapy for 4 months. Pinching, opposition, and motion of the right wrist joint recovered almost completly, and no evidence of the recurrence of hemangiomatosis was seen until 8 months after surgery.

62 cases of the fracture of the pelvis admitted to the orthpedic department of Wonju Christian Hospital during past 5 years from 1975 to 1979 were reviewed and clinical results were obtained as follows: 1. Males were frequent than females and almost 3rd to 4th decades of life. 2. The causes of injury were traffic accident, coal minor accident, and falling. 3. Stable type is the most common in this series and among the unstable types, lateral compression type is the most common and then straddle type and vertical shear type. 4. The most common complication is uro-genital injury. 5. The residual complications at the end of treatment remained in some cases, Arthritis of sacroiliac joint, Impotence, Urethral stricture, Low back pain, etc. 6. All of the cases were treated conservatively and their results were somewhat good except 4 cases. 7. Surgical treatment would be considered, if necessory, to decrease the complications and reduce hospital days.

We studied 249 patients with risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity and the results were as follows: 1. Among 249 patients, retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) developed in 36 patients(14.5%). 19 patients(528%) were stage 1, 4(11.1%) patients were stage 2, 11 patients(30.6%) were stage 3, 2 patients(56%) were stage 4 and there was no stage 5 ROP patient. 2. In gestational age, there was not statistically significant difference between normal lnfants and under-prethreshold stage group, but there were statistically significant differences between normal or under-pretheshold stage group and pretheshold or theshold stage group and was not stastically significant difference between prethreshold stage and threshold stage. 3. In birth weight, there was statistically significant difference between normal group and under-prethreshold stage group and also be statistically significant differences between normal or under-prethreshold stage and pretheshold or threshold stage group but there was not statistically significant difference between prethreshold stage and threshold stge. 4. In duration of oxygen therapy, there were no statistically Significant differences among each group.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the capability of fertilization and embryo development including blastocyst formation of the oocytes in simple media after thawing of the cryopreserved cumulus-free mouse oocytes by vitrification method. METHODS: Oocytes were collected from 5 to 6 weeks old ICR female mice, and were denuded from the cumulus cells by 0.1% hyaluronidase. Recovered mature oocytes in study group were cryopreserved by vitrification method using EM grid for 5~7 days. In brief, oocytes were exposed in dPBS containing 1.5 M EG and 5.5 M EG+1 M sucrose for 2.5 minutes and 20 seconds each, and then executed vitrification by plunging in LN2 after loading on EM grid. Thawing treated by exposure of 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 M sucrose solution for 2.5 minutes each in order and used for experiments. Spermatozoa aspirated form the epididymis of 12 weeks old ICR male mice were used for insemination after capacitation. T6 media containing 0.4% BSA were used for fertilization and development. RESULTS: Survival and fertilization rates after thawing were 76.9% and 79.6% respectively. Fertilization rate was lower (p<0.005) than that of control group (92.9%). There was no difference in embryo developmental rates from 2-cell to morula, however, the blastocyst formation rate and mean cell numbers of blastocysts in study group (63.3%, 58.9+/-9.2) were lower compared with those of control group (76.1%, 63.5+/-8.9). CONCLUSION: Vitrification is an effective method for mouse mature oocyte cryopreservation with high survival and fertilization rate after thawing. And in simple media, fertilization rates and embryo development of frozen-thawed mouse oocytes are satisfactory.

In order to prevent cross-infection, the sterilization of used and/or contaminated anesthetic- apparatus is still a difficult problem in clinical practice, particularly, following anesthesia for known advanced pulmonary tuberculosis cases. Therefore the antibacterisl activities of, an amphoteric detergent, Dodecyl diaminoethyl glycin hydrochloride (Hygien 51) were tested in vitro as a disinfectant against mycobacteria (M. tuberculosis H37 Rv, M. bovis, M. avium, M. tuberculosis H37 Ra, M. phlei, B.C.G.) The antimycobacterial activity tests were performed according to the modified Kolmer method. The testing organisms were cultured in Dubos broth at 37 degrees C, and the detergent, Hygien 51, was: diluted with sterile distilled water to 1,3,5 and 10%. One half milliliter of culture was pipetted into each tube containing 4.5 ml of diluted detergent, and at intervals of 3, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes, a 4mm loopful of the material was removed from each tube, and transferred to Ogawa media. The tests were carried out at two different temperatures, 20 degrees C and 50 degrees C. The subcultures were incubated at 37 degrees C for more than 8 weeks. The results were obtained as follows: 1) At room temperature (20 degrees C), all mycobateria, except M. bovis, were destroyed by treatment- with 10% solution of the detergent for more than 60 minutes. M. bovis was relatively sensitive to the detergent, and was killed by 5% solution for 30 min. and 10% for 15 min., but M. avium. was very resistant, and was not killed by 10% solution for 240 min. 2) By treatment with the detergent at 50 degrees C, the antimycobacterial activities of the detergent were highly increased. All mycobacteria were destroyed by 1% solution for 180 min, and by 10% for less than 30 min at 50 degrees C. In the comparison of the antibacterial activities against mycobacteria and other bacteria, it shows that mycobacteria are generally more resistant to the detergent, Hygien 51.
