In clinical microsurgery, limitation of space often prohibits rotation of a double clamp in an end-to-end anastomosis, or shortage of length of the secondary vessel in an end-to-side anastomosis does not allow visualization of the back wall. In these situation, back wall repair is extremely difficult. To overcome this problem, we use continuous suture technique without rotation of double clamp for end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis of the 40 rat femoral arteries. After continuous sutures for micro-arterial anastomosis, the following results were obtained: Continuous sutures are useful in anastomosis where there is unavoidable limited access to the posterior wall and for some of the larger vessels now being anastomosed in free flap and other reconstructive surgery.

Furfurol(Furfudol), a new anthelmintics, was administered to 7 adults and 21 children (6-12 years old) in total amounts of 15.6 mg(base) for 1 to 3 days. It has proven to be effective against hookworms. The anthelmintic effect against hookworms with a single dose of 15.6 mg of furfurol was similar to that of a single dose of 2.5 gm of bephenium hydroxynaphthoate. However, when a total of 15.6 mg of the base was given to both children and adult, the side reactions were so mild that the drug can be administered for therapeutic regimens in mass treatment. Minor abdominal discomfort was the only common side effect. This is the primary advantage of furfurol as compared with bephenium hydroxynaphthoate. These results have indicated that furfurol is safe in therapeutic dosage and is an effective agent to treat patients infected with hookworms.

Two cases of vaginal injury due to Coitus are presented. One is the case of the laceration of midportion of posterior vaginal wall with shock and the other one in the laceration of posterior vaginal fornix and pelvic peritoneum. They are all in multiparity. And a review of literature on vaginal injury due to coitus is made briefly.

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.

Although the method to obtain a good results of treatment is still controversial in ankle fracture, most authors agree with open reduction and internal fixation for unstable ankle fracture. They also emphasize the importance of accurate reduction and rigid fixation of fractured lateral malleolus. Recently, the good results of early weight bearing and joint motion has been recognized. Therefore the cast immobilization for long duration is eliminated after surgery by many authorities. In addition to positive role of early ankle motion and weight bearing, we could expect the advantage of subsidence of stiffness, osteoporosis, and early returning to social activity. The seventy-eight unstable ankle fractures treated at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of medicine with open reduction and internal fixation were analyzed in clinical and radiological aspects. The following results were obtained. 1. In unstable ankle fracture, the good functional results were obtained with early joint motion and weight bearing after accurate reduction and rigid fixation. 2. The accurate reduction and rigid fixation for lateral malleolar fracture was the most significant factor in contributing to good results. 3. Syndesmotic ligament should be examined on each exploration of fractured fibular. In spite of the immediate weight bearing, the transfixion screw has remained in place without loosening or breakage. 4. The reduction of medial malleolar fracture was relatively easy and seems not to affect the results.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome(EDS) is an inherited disorder of the connective tissue disease that is usually transmitted as autosomal dominant trait. The defect in the biogenesis of collagen results in varying degree of skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin fragility and bruising. There have been several reports of cardiac or great vessel abnormalities in patients with the EDS. A 45-year-old Woman was admitted to Maryknoll hospital because of orthopnea, palpitation and epigastric discomfort. Physical examination reveals multiple variable sized bruises and increased hyperelasticity on skin, and hypermobile joint in knee and proximal interphalanges of both hands. Mitral valvular prolapse and atrial septal defect were detected by echocardiography. We report a case of EDS accompanied by mitral valvular prolapse and ostium secundum atral septal defect with brief review of literature.

Primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown origin. The small and medium sized intrahepatic bile ducts are destroyed by an inflammatory process, which, it has been suggested, is of the autoimmune type. It is strongly associated with the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies, predominantly IgM and IgG. The liver changes are classified into four stages, of which stage IV represents the development of cirrhosis, which required orthotropic liver transplantation in the longrun. The prevalence rates was reported 128 per millon in Sweden , but the disease is relatively rare in Oriental area. In medical treatment, long-term administration of ursodeoxycholic acid improves both clinical and biochemical signs, slows the progression of the disease and reduces the complication requiring liver transplantation. We report two cases of PBC, one with histologically proven cirrhosis, and the other with bile duct destruction consistent with stage III and hypothyroidism.
