The following case of solitary bone cyst of the proximal femur was misdiagnosed as fibrous dysplasia because of similarity of X-ray findings and was confirmed by histological findings. The cyst was treated by curettage, packing with autogenous iliac bone and kiel bone graft and internal fixation with Ender nail. The most recent evaluation one year after surgery showed no pain and recurrence.

Serum Lipoperoxide levels were studied in 50 normal Korean and in the following patients; 26 patients with diabetes mellitus, 20 patients with hypertension, 14 patients with ischemic heart disease, 8 patients with cerebrovascular accident and 6 patients with nephrotic syndrome. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. In normal Korean, the average serum lipoperoxide level was 2.62+/-0.27 nmoles M.D. A./ml, with no difference by the sex. 2. In the cases with various disease which in supposed to be related to abnormal lipid metabolism, that is, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, the serum lipoperoxide value showed statistically significant elevation compared to that of the normal control (p<0.01), but in the patients with cerebrovascular accident the elevation was not significant (p>0.05). 3. The serum lipoperoxide level was coarsely related with the serum concentration of cholesterol and total lipid, the correlation coefficient of which were 0.34 and 0.35 respectively (p<0.05).

Despite continually improving results of total hip arthroplasty, infection remains the major debilitating complication. The treatments of infected total hip arthroplasty were variable. but initially we removed infected implants and inserted antibiotic containing cemented spacer so called PRSTALAC to prevent scar contracture and disuse osteoporosis. After 6 weeks later, control of infection was clinically and radiologically determined, we inserted new prosthesis with cement. Three weeks postoperatively, patient began touch down standing exercise. We observed infected total hip patient in whom hip had been salvaged successfuily with twostage implantation using so called "" PROSTALAC "" which was made with Moore stem.

BACKGROUND: After multiple trauma, blood coagulation activity is enhanced and fibrinolytic activity is suppressed by overproduction of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression (ISPC) is an effective method to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Its action is explained by the mechanical effect on blood flow, as well as by the enhancement of fibrinolysis by the reduction of PAI-1. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ISPC on coagulation and fibrinolysis after multiple trauma. METHODS: Thirty-nine trauma patients were either treated with ISPC (ISPC group, 20 patients) or without ISPC (control group, 19 patients). We measured the plasma levels of the thrombin antithrombin III complex (TAT), the plasmin alpha 2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), the tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) on admission and at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after admission. RESULTS: The TAT was higher than normal in both groups, with no significant difference between the two groups throughout the study period. The PIC level of ISPC group was significantly higher than that of the control group. In the ISPC group, the PIC level increased gradually, reaching a peak at 3 hours and decreasing thereafter. In the control group, the PIC level increased to a peak level at 2 hours. The TAT/PIC ratio dropped in the first two hours and increased at 3 hours, dropping again thereafter. In the ISPC group, the ratio dropped gradually without an intermittent fluctuation. At 3 and 6 hours, the control group showed a significantly greater ratio compared to the ISPC group. PAI-1 was higher than normal in bothgroups, with a significantly lower level in the ISPC group from 2 hours to 24 hours. For the t-PA level, no difference was noted between the two groups, with the peak level occurring at 1 hour. The PAI-1/t-PA ratio was significantly greater in the control group from 2 hours to 12 hours than in the ISPC group, but the difference was not significant at 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS: In multiple trauma patients, ISPC does not seem to affect coagulation, but enhances fibrinolysis through suppressed PAI-1 production. This effect of ISPC may be maintained for 12 hours.

The two most common causes of acute arterial occlusion are embolism and thrombosis in sity. They are mainly originated from the cardiovascular sources. About 70-80 per cent of occlusions occur in the axial limb vessels. Therapeutic options include supportive measures, pharmacologic treatment, surgery, and non-operative interventions. There have been several successful case reports using percutaneous aspiration thromboembolectomy with the advent of new instruments and technical imprevement. We report a case of 70-year-old male with acute anterior wall myocardial infaction who experienced acute embolic arterial occlusion of the left popliteal artery from mural thrombus in the left ventricular apex. It wan managed successfully by percutaneous aspiration thromboembolectomy.

Objective: We studied the efficacy of the power spectral and nonspectral analysis and its diurnal variations for the early detection of the diabetic autonomic neuropathy. METHOD: The spectral and nonspectral analysis of 24hour-Holter monitoring were done for both diabetic neuropathy patients and controls. We also made a comparative analysis of the diurnal variations between the patient and control groups by means of hourly power spectral analysis. RESULT: 1) The power spectral density of the diabetic neuropathy patients was below than that of the normal controls (P<0.05) (Table 2, Fig. 1). 2) The nonspectral analysis of the diabetic neuropathy patients was below than that of the normal controls except for the mean RR intervals (P<0.05) (Table 3). 3) Every hour-power spectral analysis showed a diurnal variation of day time (06:00 to 16:00) decrease in high frequency area of the normal controls. On the contrary, there was a disappearance of the diurnal variation in patient group. CONCLUSION: The power spectral and nonspectral analyses after 24hour-Holter monitoring and its diurnal variation in the diabetic patients are considered as good means of the early detection of autonomic neuropathy, but further study of its diagnostic value will be needed.
