A 30-year old female had proximal muscle weakness, periungal telangiectasia and purplish red erythema and edema on the face. Diagnosis of dermatomyositis was estabiiished by clinical manifestations, muscle enzyme study, electromyogram, histologic findings of skin and muscle. She was treated with systemic steroid with some improvemellt. About 1 year after the onset of dermatomyositis, aggravated skin lesion and exophthalmos were noted on right eyelid. Orbit computerized tomography scan showed maxillary carcinoma. She treated with systemic steroid, 5-fluorouracil and cis-platin with partial remission and some improvement of dermatomyositis.

Thirty cases of rhabdomyosarcoma in patients under the age of 15 years were reviewed retrospectively to find out characteristics of histologic subtypes related to prognosis. Histologic diagnosis were embryonal in 21(70%), alveolar in 7(23%) and mixed type in 2(7%). Cellular anaplasia was noted in 6 cases. Round to polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasmic rim or globules were most characteristic cytologic feature or rhabdomyosarcomas, being followed by myofibrils. Myxoid and edematous stroma in embryonal type and alveolar pattern in alveolar type wee nost characteristic growth pattern. Immunohistochemically, tumors were positive for desmin, actin and myoglobin in 97%, 27%, and 40%, respectively. Consequently, characteristic cytologic features are important to differentiate rhabdomyosarcomas form other kinds of small round cell tumor and growth pattern is more critical in categorizing histologic subtypes. Desmin is far more useful than actin or myoglobin in the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma.

The management of fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia is uncomplicated when the fracture has minimal displacement(type I) or when only anterior one-third or half of the eminence is elevated(type II)(Meyers and Mckeever 1959, 1970). The treatment of complete separation(type III) has been controversial. Many authors however recommended conservative treatment even for the completely separated fracture if the fracture fragment is not rotated. Two cases of non-union of the tibial spine fracture we experienced were; one in type IIl, and the other type II. They were treated conservatively by cast immobilization. One patient had severe anterolateral rotatory.instability and had lateral meniscal tear, and the other had transverse ligament impingement at the fracture gap which interfered the reduction of the fragment and also bony union. Through the clinical experience and the two listed non-union cases, we drafted a therapeutic plan for the avulsed tibial spine fractures. The authors recommend open reduction and internal fixation of the avulsion fracture of the tibial spine in following circumstance; 1) all of the type K complete separation injuries 2) tibial spine fracture with positive Lachman test and soft end point 3) fracture with associated ligament injury. We applied the above surgical indications for 13 cases. The authors reviewed 25 cases of the anterior tibial spine fracture patients treated at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Unviersity Medical College during the period from October 1982 to August 1986 and the following results were obtained. 1. The cases were classified into 3 different categories according to the Meyers and Mckeever classification; Type I(7 cases, 29%), Type II(10 cases, 40%), Type III(8 cases, 31%). 2. Associated ligament injuries on the same knee were rupture of LCL for 7 cases(28%) and MCL for 6 cases(24%). 3. Twelve out of thirteen open reduction and internal fixation cases had excellentresult in minimum 6 months follow-up period.

So far, most research studying the causality of autism has focused on neurobiological or psychological aspects. However, most studies have dealt with only proximal causality of autism, and there is little research on its ultimate causality. 'Evolutionary perspective', which has received attention recently in various academic fields, suggests several theories regarding the ultimate causality of autism. We reviewed different theories on the evolution of autism, and discussed both the merits and the limitations of the theories.

BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)], an independent risk factor for athrosclerosis, consist of low density lipoprotein like particle and specific glycoprotein, apolipoprotein(a). The levels of Lp(a) are mainly determined by the genetic pleomorphism of apolipoprotein(a) and has been though not to be influenced by age, sex and other biochemical parameters. Recent reports have shown that the concentrations of Lp(a) are correlated with age in women. The purpose of this study was to invastigate the association of Lp(a) concentration with sex and age. METHODS: The concentrations of Lp(a) were measured in 3,707 women and 389 men, free of diseases and medications known to affect the lipid levels. Plasma Lp(a) concentration were measured by commercial radioimmunoassay kit and other lipid profiles by conventional method. RESULTS: In female, median Lp(a) concentration increased with age till the early sixth decade (P=.0000) and then decreased. If peri- and postmenopausal women were excluded in the fifth decades, the relation between age and Lp(a) disappeared. In male, Lp(a) concentration were not associated with age. Median Lp(a) concentrations were higher in females than in males in the fifth(p=.0039) and the sixth decades(p=.0007), The difference became negligible after the exclusion of peri- and postmenopausal woman in the fifth decade. CONCLUSION: The concentrations of Lp(a) were corrected with age only in female. Females had higher levels than males in the fifth and the sixth decades. The relations are thought to be nither due to aging process nor sex but due to postmenopausal increase of Lp(a).
