In the majority of East Asian eyelids, the presence of a medial epicanthal fold is one of the unique anatomic characteristics. Roundness of medial canthal area and a narrow, short palpebral fissure are aesthetic consequences of this anatomic features. But, the idea of beauty has changed with time by influence of western culture. Many people are favorable to the wide open eye without epicanthal fold, which make improved facial balance. Double-eyelid operation is the most commonly performed procedure of aesthetic surgery field in Korea. However, many cases of successfully done double-eyelid operation results in only partial improvement by leaving medial epicanthal folds. We can get the improved results by utilizing epicanthopasty that lengthens the palpebral fissure, and thus producing the image of a larger, open eye. Consequently the requirements for epicanthoplasty has increased in modern time. The Uchida's split V-W plasty is one of the most frequently used methods. But, it has disadvantages of completely exposed scar, potential for dog-ear formation, and two stage procedure with some cases of double-eyelid operation. We modified the Uchida's method by moving the position of 2 triangular flaps more laterally and conjoining the incision line of double-eyelid operation with that of epicanthoplasty. The purposes of our modification are not complete elimination but relieving the epicanthal fold, hiding the minimal scar behind the new relieved the new relieved fold and preventing the dog-ear on the transitional zone. From January, 1995 to June, 1999, this method was applied to 93 patients who have medial epicanthal folds and performed with double-eyelid operation concomitantly. Age ranged From 12 to 47 years and the mean age was 23 years. Through the mean 15 months of follow up, the mean widening of the palpebral fissure width was 2.5mm and the mean reduction of the intercanthal distance was 5mm. The modified Uchida's method has advantages of simplicity in procedure, effectiveness in results, minimal scarring with hiding behind the new small fold, and one stage procedure with double-eyelid operation. We think it can be applied generally to almost of all double-eyelid operation except epicanthal fold is marked severe.

The compartment syndrome was described by von Volkmann in 1872 and numerous reports have since been published. The anterior tibial syndrome is well known, but the peroneal compartment syndrome is very rare and have some differences in it's etiology, diagnosis and treatment. We experienced a case of the peroneal compartment syndrome developed after playing foot-ball, and treated by fasciotomy with some delay, but obtained a satisfactory functional result.

It is generally accepted that integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament plays a major role in knee stability. The potential disability resulting from disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament is sufficient to warrant aggressive operative management when the lesion is discovered. From August 1980 to July 1982, the authors treated the 8 cases of the posterior cruciate ligament injury at the department of orthopedic surgery, Chung Ang university hospital; primary repair(2 cases), reconstruction using the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle(6 cases). In the operative procedure of reconstruction using gastrocnemius, we experienced the following obstacle and resolved it effectively. l. In the surgical approach, we choosed the separate incision on the anteromedial and posteromedial aspect of knee and satisfactory results were obtained. 2. In adequate length of the gastrocnemius tendon was resolved by releasing of gastrocnemius as closer to it's femoral condyle origin as possible or together with attached periosteum and bone chips, by fixation of gastrocnemius with pull through wire suture method. 3. In advancement of the gastrocnemius into the knee joint, we used No. 32 chest tube and achieved the smooth enterance. 4. Adequate position of the femoral condyle drill hole was achieved by using hip screw reamer and K-wire.

This series represents 128 cases of acute gonococcal urethritis treated with doxycycline at the Seoul Red Cross Hospital from the 1st. May to.5th, Oct., 1969. Results of this treatment were divided in three groups: Group I ; Single dose of doxycycline, 300 mg. was administered for this group. 36 cases fall into this category. Cure rate for this group was 36%. Group II; Doxycycline, 200mg. was given on the 1st treatment day and daily dose of 100 mg. for 4 ensuing days. 42 cases were included to this group. Cure rate was 72%. Group III Daily dose of 200 mg. was administered for the remainders, 50 cases for 5 consecutive days. Cure rate was 91%. It was concluded that 200 mg. of doxycycline daily for 5 days dose regime can be recommended for the treatment of acute gonococcal urethritis, especially in cases allergic to penicillin or in which penicillin treatment fails. No anaphylactic shock or some other undesirable side reaction in administering this drug was experienced.
