Fractures of the tibial shaft are the most common among the long bone fractures, and have much difficulty in treatment due to their enumerous complications. 21 patients with fracture of the tibial shaft were treated with Ender nails under the image intensifier at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yeungnam University Hospital from December 1986 to September 1988. The result was sumarized as follows :1. The average age was 37.3 and the number of male was three times of the female. The most common cause was traffic accident. 2. 14 cases out of 22 were closed fracture and the remsining 5 were open. The comminuted and segmental fractures were 17(77.3%) and the most common fracture site was middle one third. 3. Aversge interval from injury to operation was 6.5 days and in 15 cases show the associated injurues. 4. The mean duration of the bone union was 17.6 weeks and in 2 cases show the delayd union. 5. 10 complications were noted such as shortening, varus deformity, delayed union, ankle motion limitation, nail irritation, and soft tissue infection.

This study observed the changes of the glycogen content in extensor digitorum and soleus by electrical stimulation on the sciatic nerve with various frequencies, and the result were compared with those of treadmill running exercise. The results are summarized as follows ; The glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was greater than that of the soleus in the normal group, and the reducing amount of glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was greater than that of the soleus by overnight fasting. As the frepuency of electrical stimulation was increased by 2, 5 and 10Hz., the glycogen content of the extensor digitorum longus was slightly reduced or changed minimally. As the loading period of clectrical stimulation was increased to 30 and 90minutes, the glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was much reduced from early stage, and that of the soleus was the same tendency as the frepuency increased. The glycogen content of the extensor digitorum longus was proportionally reduced by treadmill running excercise, and that of the soleus was much reduced from the early stage. In summary, based on the experimental evidence of this investigation, it showed the different physio-chemical responses of th fast and slow twitch muscle fibers by electrical stimulation, and also not the equal responses of muscle fibers by electrical stimulation and treadmill running exercise.

A case of primary gastric carcinoma with patterns resembling those of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is reproted. This patient who represented high serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) underwent a subtotal gastrectomy for stomach cancer and lobectomy of liver metastasis. The hepatoid component of the tumor was characterized by solid nests of large polygonal cells arranged in cords and trabeculae, with central nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm; single-nuclear giant cells were frequently noted. These tumor cells of stomach stained positive immunohistochemically for AFP, ACT(alpha-1-antitrypsin), AACT(alpha-1-antichy-motrypsin). Thus, this hepatoid gastric adenocarcinoma tumor cells demonstrated both morphologic and immunohistochemical features of partial differentiation to the HCC. Careful histologic examination in conjunction with the immunohistochemical demonstration of AFP can provide a useful contribution to the diagnosis of this rare histological type of gastric carcinoma And the presence of metastatic hepatoid adenocarcinoma from the stomach should be considered in a patient with hepatic tumor mimicking HCC. Because of frequent venous and lymphatic invasion, as well as liver metastasis, prognosis appears to be poor. The authors reviewed 45 cases of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of stomach reported in the literature, also.
