Just as hyperbetalipoproteinemia is the most common kind of familiar hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperprebetalipoproteinemia or increased very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and its associated hypertriglyceridemia is an abnormality frequently found in association with several metabolic and nutritional disorders. This VLDL abnormality is demonstrable in high percentage of insulin dependent diabetic children before they receive treatment. It is also observed in many older, overweight, insulin resistant diabetic, with poor control of diabetes. An elevation of VLDL was also observed after ethanol intake. A mild to moderate degree of VLDL elevation is the most frequently observed from of clinical hyperlipidemia. Many investigators reported that hyperprebetalipoproteinemia (hypertriglyceridemia) is associated with an increasing incidence of coronary artery disease. As opposed to hyperbetalipoproteinemia, hyperprebetalipoproteinemia is prone to influence on the development of atherosclerosis in the middle and older aged persons which indicates the importance of triglyceride determination in these aged groups. There has been relatively rare study reported on the triglyceride metabolism in patients with congestive heart failure, essential hypertension and liver disease in Korea. This study was designed to determine serum triglyceride, free fatty acid and glycerol in the disease mentioned in Busan University Hospital between jan. 1975 and December 1976 and analized the change of lipid profile in each different condition. The results were as follows; 1. The mean of serum FFA, triglyceride and glycerol in the 37 normal were as follows 502.32+/-146.54microEq/L, 111.84+/-40.53mg% and 432.00+/-212.13microM/ml. 2. 23 patients with congestive heart failure showed a significant reduction in serum triglycerides (91.96+/-27.80mg%) and a significant increase in serum free fatty acid (576.77+/-129.67microEqL) and glycerol (432.50+/-212.13microM/ml). 3. In 15 patients with essential hypertension a significant elevation of serum triglycerides (149.38+/-42.28mg%) was noted. 4. In 13 patients with liver cirrhosis, a reduction in serum triglycerides (80.50+/-34.27mg%) was noted.

Epidermal cyst in the fibroadenoma of the breast is very rare. A 29-year-old woman presented with a lump in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. Clinically it was a fibroadenoma and the excisional specimen showed an encapsulated, firm lobulated lesion with a cystic area on cut surface. The cystic area showed squamous metaplasia of the ductal epithelium and keratinous cyst formation in the fibroadenoma. We report this unusual case with review of literatures.

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.
