Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is a serious injury that can cause severe degenerative change if untreated, and there are many controversies in its treatment. The authors experienced 126 patients of the anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the Department of Orthpaedic Surgery, Chung-Ang university from May 1985 to December 1992. Among them, we performed 36 anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft reinforced with Trevira ligament, an assumption that the artificial ligament acts as an internal splint during the vulnerable period of healing. Bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft was passed through the transosseous hole in the tibia, then across the knee and through the isometric path of lateral femoral condyle through a bone tunnel. Thereafter, the Trevira ligament was passed through the same tibial tunnel, but over the top route to the lateral femoral condyle. Of the 36 cases, 28patients (Group I: 15 cases of Mini-arthrotomy,Group II: 13 cases of Arthroscopic technique) with average follow up of 23.5 months (minimum 12 months, maximum 40 months) were analyzed. According to the Mullers criteria, the result were excellent in 12 cases (Group I: 5 cases; Group II: 7 cases), good in 14 cases(Group I: 9 cases ; Group II: 5 cases and fair in 2 cases (Group I: 1 case; Group II: 1 case). On stress roentgenograms by Telos arthrometer, the average difference of anterior displacement between the injured and normal sides were decreased to 2.3mm from average 9.1mm preoperatively (Group I: from 9.3mm to 2.6mm; Group II: from 8.8mm to 2.1mm). And subjectively, there was no difference between the injured and normal sides in 8 cases (Group I: 4 cases, Gruop II: 4 cases).

This study was carried out to reveal the epidemiologic characteristics of psoriasis in Korea. Seventeen university hospitals were engaged in this study, and the results were as follows : 1. The number of psoriasis patients during the 10 years from January 1977 to March 1987 was 1.05% of all the outpatients; the male to female-ratio was 1.08:1. 2. In the prospective study, the number of psoriasis patients was 2.3% of all the outpatients in 1987, 2.8% of all the outpatients in 1988 and the male to female ratio was 1.26:1. 3. The most prevalent age of onset was 20-29 years ; 81.1% were living in urban areas; and a family history was obtainable in 19.8% with parents holding the highest rank of 7.8%. 4. The most frequent duration of disease activity was under 5 years in 63.3%; the most common age for the worst condition was 20-29 yrs. The most common area size of skin involvement at the peak of the worst condition was less than 10%. 5. The most common initiating skin lesion began on the scalp in 20.2%, on the nail in 17.2%, pruritus in 63.0% with joint symptoms in 10.8%, and Koebner phenomena in 50.6%. 6. Emotional stress was the most common aggravating factor in 34.4%. The method of treatment that attained the best result was the combination therapy of oral medication and a topical agent. The best treatment modality was said to be the application of ointment with p.o.medication by as many as 28.4% of patients who took the leading rank. Photo-chemotherapy, effective with few complications, was not used much as it was not well-known in Korea until after 1980. Most people had an accurate knowledge of psoriasis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of the reconstructed 3-dimensional image on the personal computer in comparison with that of the CT workstation by quantitative comparison and analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The spiral CT data obtained from 27 persons were transferred from the CT workstation to a personal computer, and they were reconstructed as 3-dimensional image on the personal computer using V-works 2.0(TM). One observer obtained the 14 measurements on the reconstructed 3-dimensional image on both the CT workstation and the personal computer. Paired t test was used to evaluate the intraobserver difference and the mean value of the each measurement on the CT workstation and the personal computer. Pearson correlation analysis and % incongruence were also performed. RESULTS: I-Gn, N-Gn, N-A, N-Ns, B-A, and G-Op did not show any statistically significant difference (p>0.05), B-O, B-N, Eu-Eu, Zy-Zy, Biw, D-D, Orbrd R, and L had statistically significant difference (p<0.05), but the mean values of the differences of all measurements were below 2 mm, except for D-D. The value of correlation coefficient gamma was greater than 0.95 at I-Gn, N-Gn, N-A, N-Ns, B-A, B-N, G-Op, Eu-Eu, Zy-Zy, and Biw, and it was 0.75 at B-O, 0.78 at D-D, and 0.82 at both Orbrd R and L. The % incongruence was below 4% at I-Gn, N-Gn, N-A, N-Ns, B-A, B-N, G-Op, Eu-Eu, Zy-Zy, and Biw, and 7.18%, 10.78%, 4.97%, 5.89% at B-O, D-D, Orbrd R and L respectively. CONCLUSION: It can be considered that the utilization of the personal computer has great usefulness in reconstruction of the 3-dimensional image when it comes to the economics, accessibility and convenience, except for thin bones and the landmarks which are difficult to be located.

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a member of natriuretic peptide family, is mainly synthesized in the endothelium and central nervous system. But CNP is also involved in the growth and differentiation of other peripheral organs. Although we have reported the local synthesis and localization of CNP in the adult submandibular glands (SMG), it is not known that the expression and biological activity of CNP following the morphogenesis, differentiation and aging. This study aimed to examine the expression of CNP and its receptors in the developing and differentiating stages of mouse SMG, and the changes of biological activity of its receptors with aging. The SMG, obtained from 14, 16, 18 days-old embryos (E) and 1 day, 2 weeks, 1, 2, 12, and 24 month-old C57BL/6N mouse, were processed for RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and cGMP assay. CNP was strongly expressed in the epithelial clusters of primitive SMG, which was maintained before birth but was markedly decreased after birth. CNP was localized in the intercalated duct and granular convoluted tubules of adult SMG, where NPRC was specifically expressed but NPRB was not. CNP mRNA was gradually decreased from E16 to 2 M but ANP mRNA was opposed. NPRB and NPRC were the same pattern of the expression of CNP but NPRA was weakly expressed. In addition, CNP mRNA was also expressed in the craniofacial tissues such as tooth germs, tongue, premaxilla and bone forming area in which NPRC was specifically expressed but NPRB was not. In the SMG of 2 M, the membrane of duct cells markedly produced cGMP by CNP whereas acini produced cGMP by ANP and BNP rather than CNP. The biological activity of cGMP production of SMG gradually decreased with age. cGMP production was dominant by CNP in SMG of 1M but was by ANP after 2M. These results shows that CNP may play roles both in the morphogenesis and differentiation via NPRC and in the maintenance of duct system via NPRB in the mouse SMG and that the biological activity of its receptors may decreased with aging.
