The hand length, foot length, middle finger length as percentage of total hand length, palm length, height, birth weight head circumference of 143 neonates of gestational ages ranging from twen-five to fourty-two weeks were measured between 12 hours and 5 days of life in order to find out normal values and correation between them. The subjects were devided into three groups of term babies with weight appropriate for gestational age, of term babies with weight light for dates and of premature babies. The following results were obtained. 1. The means, standard deviations & percentile values of hand length, foot length, palm length, middle finger length, middle finger length as percentage of total hand length in term babies(n=110) were obtained(Table 3). The sexual difference was statistically insignificant(p<0.05) in all. 2. There was a positive linear correlation between foot and hand length and other indices of anthropometric measurements in all groups. In premature babies, the correlation between foot length hadd length(r=0.79), foot length and height(r=0.64) as well as foot length and birth weight(r=0.82) were excellent. The 95percent confidence limits of the regression lines were+/-0.66cm,+/-0.66cm, and+/-374g, respectively. The birth weight and height of premature babies can theoretically be estimated from a measurement of foot length which can be performed easily and rapidly. 3. A positive linear correlation(r=0.79) between foot length and gestational age exist and the foot length of 7.0cm serves as a reliable index of prematurity. Its diagnosi bility was 0.998, 0.612. 4. The normal values of hand length, foot length, palm length, middle finger length, middle finger length as percentage of total hand length, which were obtained in this study, will be helpful to diagnose as brachydactyly or arachnodactyly.

We evaluated the distribution of normal conjuctival flora and the change of antibiotic sensitivity of cultured bacteria. Specimens were obtained from inferior conjunctiva cul de sac with sterile cotton-tipped applicator from healthy 216 human beings. Antibiotic sensitivity test was done by disk diffusion method. The results indicated that overall positive culture rate was 47.7% and major organisms were Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(55.7%), Staphylococcus aureus(16%), Gram negative bacteria(7.5%), Streptococcus(4.7%). Antibiotic sensitivity test of cultured Gram positive bacteria demonstrated less than 60% rate of susceptability in gentamicin, tetracyclin, erythromycin and 80.5% rate of susceptability in ciprofloxacin. Gram negative bacteria demonstrated less than 60% rate of susceptability in cephalothin, ampicillin. From the above results, we concluded that antibiotic resistance of normal conjunctival flora was increased from the past and the principle of antiviotic eye drop use should be emphasized.

PURPOSE: To introduce a new convenient and accurate method to measure the angle kappa using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and corneal topography. METHODS: Data from 42 eyes (13 males and 29 females) were analyzed in this study. The angle kappa was measured using Orbscan II and calculated with UBM and corneal topography. The angle kappa of the dominant eye was compared with measurements by Orbscan II. RESULTS: The mean patient age was 36.4 ± 13.8 years. The average angle kappa measured by Orbscan II was 3.98°± 1.12°, while the average angle kappa calculated with UBM and corneal topography was 3.19°± 1.15°. The difference in angle kappa measured by the two methods was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The two methods showed good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.671; p < 0.001). Bland-Altman plots were used to demonstrate the agreement between the two methods. CONCLUSIONS: We designed a new method using UBM and corneal topography to calculate the angle kappa. This method is convenient to use and allows for measurement of the angle kappa without an expensive device.

Most of nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses lymphoma reported in Korea is either diffuse large Bcell lymphoma or natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. There are only three cases of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALTOMA), which has so far been reported only in a Korea journal and all of which have occurred in the nasal cavity and in the turbinate. We experienced a case of MALTOMA of ethmoid sinus extending to the orbital cavity. It was confirmed by the findings of immunohistochemical staining (positive with CD20, Bcl-2, and Granzyme B, negative with CD5, CD56, Bcl-6 and Cyclin D1). The patient underwent radiation therapy and the lesion was successfully resolved without recurrence for 16 months.
