Injuries and pains of musculoskeletal joint in human body is common onset in industrialized world. However, muscle fatigue plays a very significant role in contributing causes of many pains associated with musculoskeletal joints. Based on this hypothesis, degree of muscle fatigue was investigated using electromyography measurement technique during isometric and concentric/eccentric muscle contractions. Different response of the muscle fatigue between two different muscle contractions (isometric and concentric/eccentric contractions) was examined by comparison of parameters which were median frequency, median power and RMS value. Healthy 16 young persons without previous musculoskeletal diesease history were tested with Noraxon Myosystem 2000 EMG measurement system. In this study, two different exercises were performed. First exercise was concentric/eccentric exercise. Second exercise was isometric muscle contraction. In the case of the isometric exercise, median frequency was decreased, but median power and RMS were increased. However, during the concentric/eccentric exercse, median frequency was increased, but median power and RMS were decreased. Both of those revealed that the pattern of the median frequency was W type, but median power and RMS were M type as time passed. In this study, the patterns of the muscle fatigue during concentric/eccentric exercise as well as isometric exercise were identified. It will be helpful to prevent musculoskeletal injury from over-working andexercising.

The 6 patients with neglected rupture of the Achilles tendon were treated by end to end anastomosis using the V-Y tendinous flap originated by Abraham in 1975. A tendinous flap was developed over the tendon by making an inverted V incision, which was then repaired in a Y fashion. The postoperative results were satisfactory with no functional disability of the ankle and with recovery of muscle strength for periods of 8 months to 15 months, but slight limited dorsiflexion of the ankle in two cases were noticed. The advantages of this method are: 1. Optimum functional recovery. 2. Recovery of muscle strength and tendon contour. 3. Prevention of late stretching or possible rupture of the healed tendon at the rupture site.

3 cases of giant cell tumor in the distal femur or upper tibia were treated by curettage and acrylic cement packing between October 1978 and May 1981. All were females. The postoperative courses were satisfactory with no recurrence or malignant change for periods of 16 months to 30 months. In one case, acrylic cement reinforced with tantalum wire was used because it is superior to acrylic cement alone in mechanical properties. The adventages of this method are: 1. The cautery effect of setting cement. 2. Avoidence of the need for large quantities of cancellous bone 3. The possibility of incorporating a prosthesis if the lesion is extensive. 4. Rapid mobilization. 5. Ease of early diagnosis of recurrence.

We experienced one case of tuberous sclerosis occurred in brothers. Case 1 is 8-year-old male patient who presented seizure, mild mental retardation, subependimal nodule and Shagreen patch. Case 2 is 9-year-old male patient who presented adenoma sebaceum, Shagreen patch, subependymal gient cell astrocytomas. Diagnosis was confirmed by brain CT and biopsy. Brief review and related literatures were also presented.

One fullterm infant whose clinical feature initially was that of necrotizing enterocolitis eventually developed intussusception. The symptomatology of these two conditions is strikingly similar, and when they coexist, recognition of a complicating intussusception is difficult. The pathogenic relationship between necrotizing enterocolitis and intussusception remains obscure. When a presumptive diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis is made but the infant's clinical course varies from that expected, other diagnoses, such as intussusception, must be considered.
