The breakage of component is rare in TKA and usually restricted to hinges and linked design. Occasionally fracture of metal tibial component has been noted, but fracture of the femoral component has been rarely reported and occurred to be a significaot problem in TKA. This study reports 2 cases of femoral component fracture using Whiteside Ortholoc total knee system and analyzes the cause of this phenomenon. One pahent, a 67 years old female who weighed 74kg, was performed 1ke left TKA using Whiteside Ortholoc g system with cement. The size of feraoral component was small plus, and small tibial component, 14mm tibial insert and 28mm pateBa were used, The medial site of femoeal component fractured at 38 months postoperatively. A second female patient, who weighed 68kg and was 64 years old at the time of surgery, had also the left TKA using a medium sized femoral component of Whiteside Ortholoc modular system with cement. The small-Ex large tibial component, 8rrun tibial insert were used, but did not replace the pateBa. Also at 37 mainths postaperatively the medial site of femoral compcnent fractured, Ail cases were revised with using a cemented P,F.C. Modular Total Knee System (Johnson k Johnson). All two cases were kactured at the junction between the posterior bevel md distal surface of the medial femoral condyle. The thickness and length of Whiteside Ortholoc femoral component are thinner and shorter at posterior bevel surface compared with other TKA systems. So it is encouraging that a minor design modification of Whiteside Ortholoe femoral component and also should be edueated for the prohibihon of excessive flexion of the knee joint after TKA.

In orper to measure the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in psoriasis, 60 psoriatic patients and 30 healthy subjects were included in this study. Lopez-Virells methos was applied for measuring the serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The results were obtained as follows. The level of serurn HDL cholesterol was 58. 39+17. 40 mg/dl in psoratcs and 50.3+0.31 mg/dl in healthy subjects and 50. 43+ 10. 31 mg/dl in healthy subjects. No significant differences were noted between psoriatics & healthy subjects. 2. The level of serum HDL cholesterol was 56. 40+19. 10 mg/dl in male group of psoriatics and 60. 00+15.47 mg/dl in female group of psoriatics and 48.3+9. 50 mg/dl in healthy male group and 52.60 -10.59 mg/dl in healthy female group. No significant differences of serum HDL cholesteol levels were noted in both sexes.3. The mean value of serum HDL cholesterol by age groups of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 years old with psoriasis were 50. 70 mg/dl, 61. 97 mg/dl, 57. 44 mg/dl, 49. 11 mg/dl and 70. 36 mg/dl, respectively and those of healthy groups were 57. 25 mg/ dl, 45. 17 rng/dl, 50. 97 rng/dl, 48. 07 mg/dl and 46. 98 mg/dl, respectively.

Bladder stone formation is secondarily associated with bladder outlet obstruction, such as neurogenic bladder and benign prostatic hyperplasia, and intravesical foreign body. 1. A case of unexpected giant bladder stone weighed 580gm associated with missed intravesical bullet after gun shut injury during Korean War in a 55-year-old man. 2. A case of giant bladder stone weighed 260gm associated with urinary stasis and urinary tract infection due to neurogenic bladder in a 46-year-old woman. 3. A case of multiple bladder stone, total number of 107, associated bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia in a 63-year-old man.

AIM:To explore the application effect of pranoprofen combined with tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension in cataract extraction after IOL implantation.METHODS:Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of cataract patients treated from May 2015 to June 2016 in our hospital.According to the treatment methods, patients were divided into tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension with pranoprofen group (combined treatment group) and pranoprofen treatment group.The difference of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber flash change, satisfaction rate and symptom score before and after treatment in two groups were observed.RESULTS:The vision of the two groups before treatment had no difference(P>0.05).At 1wk and 1mo after treatment, the visual acuity of the two groups all improved compared with before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Before treatment, the anterior chamber flare of the two groups had no difference(P>0.05).At 1wk and 1mo after treatment, the anterior chamber flare of combined treatment group was lower, the difference was statistically different (t=2.435, 1.864;P<0.05).The symptom score of the two groups before treatment had no difference(P>0.05).After treatment, the symptoms and signs of combined treatment group was significantly lower than that of pranoprofen group (t=2.586, 7.820;P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of the combined treatment group patients was 100%, significantly higher than pranoprofen group.CONCLUSION:Pranoprofen and tobradex in the treatment of cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation has good application effect, can significantly improve the patient's symptoms and signs.

Agminated lentigines may be defind as a circumscribed grouping of small pigmented macules arranged in a small or large group, often in a segmental pattern, each macule consisting of a lentiginous epidermal proliferation of melanocytes. We report five cases of agminated lentigines in otherwise healthy persons. Histologic exarnination of the pigmented lesion revealed findings consistent with lentigo simplex.

Hemolytic disease of newborn due to Rhesus incompatibility occurs mostly by anti-Rh(D) antibodies. But recently, because of Rh(D) immune globuin prophylaxis, Rh(D) incompatibility is decreased and importance of minor group incompatibility is increasing. The majority of minor blood group incompatibilities are anti-c, anti-E or anti-Kell, but hemolytic diseases caused by combination of these antibodies are relatively rare. The 21 day-old male neonate was admitted because of pallor and poor feeding for 2 days. Laboratory data showed severe normochromic and normocytic anemia with increased reticulocyte and bilirubin. Patient's and his mothers blood type was B, Rh(D) positive. Minor blood groups of mother's and sons were different and anti-c and anti-E antibody were detected in mother's serum. After transfusions of two times with anti-c and anti-E free B, Rh(D) positive blood, the baby was discharged at 11th hospital day with good general condition.

The foreign bodies in the upper GI tract are produced chiefly by accidental swallowing and rarely produce symptoms. But it is recommended to remove the foreign bodies if they produce symptoms or retained in GI tract for long duration, and if they have the possibilities of producing complications. Nowadays the development of therapeutic endoscopy enables the removal of the foreign bodies easily. We have reviewed 88 cases of foreign bodies diagnosed by endoscopy from January, 1980 to July 1990 and had the following results. 1) The most common foreign bodies were coins and bezoars, common with the ages under 10 years and over 50 years. 2) The foreign bodies were found in the upper gastrointestinal tract in the order of stomach, esophagus and duodenum. 3) The esophageal stricture especially by lye was the most common underlying cause of upper gastrointestinal foreign bodies. 4) The symptoms and complications were more common with esophageal foreign bodies. 5) By therapeutic endoscopy, the success rate for removal of foreign bodies was 98%.
