Fractures of the acetabulum are relatively uncommon. But if fractures of the acetubulum are not accurately evaluated, classified, and reduced anatomically, major sequalae and complications are frequently developed. Because of complicated anatomy, difficulty with surgical exposure, severe comminution, and major associated injuries, the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures between conservative and operative methods is still controversial. We reviewed thirty five cases of displaced acetabular fracture treated operaively from January 1984 to December 1991. The prevalent age was the fourth decade. There was twenty seven cases of associated injuries, twenty two dislocations of the hip. According to the Letournel's classification, the most common fracture type was posterior wall and both column type. The fracture was fixed internally with only screws in thirteen cases and with plate and screws in twenty two cases. Among thirty five patients, five patients were lost in the follow up and another five patients had followed up lesser than one year. The mean duration of follow-up afrer the operation was three years (range, one to eight years). Among twenty five patients who had followed up more than one year, the satisfactory results were achieved in nineteen patients (76%) and the poor results were achieved in three patients (8%). The complications were post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis of femoral head, osteomyelitis in iliac bone, skin necrosis, and heterotopic ossification.

Partial trisomy 10q syndrome is a rare chromosome anomaly characterized by severe mental and growth retardation, craniofacial dysmorphia with prominent forehead, fine arched eyebrows, deep set small eyes and micrognathia, In addition, other physical manifestations have been reported as skeletal anomaly, congenital heart disease, inguinal hernia, and so on. We report a case of partial trisomy 10q syndrorne with certain stigmata which confirmed by chromosome analysis.

Colonic sarcomatoid carcinomas are known to be extremely rare tumors, with only 22 cases reported either as sarcomatoid carcinomas or carcinosarcomas in the literature. The known characteristics are rapid growth, a high recurrence rate, and an extremely poor prognosis. Herein we report a case of a patient who had a sarcomatoid carcinoma of the sigmoid colon and died only 22 days after surgery due to rapid tumor growth.

The exposures to carbamate pesticides (BPMC specifically) of agricultural workers were estimated by collecting pesticide in air by personal sampler and by analyzing with gas chromatography. Data revealed that the highest BPMC concentration in the aspirated air was 7.7 mg/m3. Concentrations were generally higher in the group whose spray conditions were controlled than the group uncontrolled. Actual concentrations were relatively lower than the values predicted theoretically. These findings suggest that personal sampler be useful in the estimation of pesticide exposure.
