Recently posterior stabilization with various instrumentation and fusion has been used for fractures of the thoracolumbar spine involving anterior and middle columns. However, these methods are sometimes inadequate to gain anatomical reduction and complete decompression especially in burst fractures. So anterior decompression and interbody fusion were frequently added as a second operation. Biomechanically a rigid anterior spinal instrument such as kaneda device can provide enough anterior decompression through partial or total corpectomy and adequate correction of kyphosis as an one stage operation. We have experienced 27 cases of Kaneda instrumentation via anterior approach for thoracolumbar fracture, most of them were burst fractures, from Jan. 1989 to June 1990. Of there 27 cases, 12 were followed up at least 1 year and reviewed. The results were as followed: l. Anterior spinal approach using Kaneda instrumentation provided sufficient anterior neural decompression and adequate correction of kyphotic deformity. It eliminates the second posterior procedure in most cases and enhances early solid union. Simultaneously, it allows early mobilization of patient with an application of brace. 2. Post-operative courses were eventful in most cases except a case of pathological fracture. 3. This procedure seemed to be one of the most suitable method for the treatment of burst fractures of the thoracolumber region. 4. Complications by Kaneda device itself were not developed in the early evaluation stage. However, on longer follow-up study over 1 year revealed some complications including 2 cases of screw breakage and one lateral wedging deformity.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, distinctive cutaneous tumor, which consists of spindle shaped ceils arranged in densely packed interlacing bundles with the storiform or cartwheel pattern. Histologically, it resembles deep growing dermatofibroma, nodular fasciitis, neurofibroma and neural sheath tumors. DFSP is one of t.he connective tissue tumors which is difficult. to diagnose histologically as well as clinically. Recently, the immunochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody to CD34 is reported to give assistance in the clear differential diagnosis of DFSP from other fibrous or neural tumors. Herein, three cases of DFSP were stained by immunohistochemical staining with S-100 protein, vimentin, factor VIII and anti-CD34 antibody in order to assess the use of anti-CD34 in the differential diagnosis of DFSP.

Authors measured the bone marrow pressure(B.M.P.) of 59 femoral heads in cases of either suspicious or diagnosed osteonecrosis and obtained the significant relationship between increased B.M.P. and the osteonecrosis. Increased bone marrow pressure provided both predictive and early diagnostic importance in even the preclinical stage of evolution of the disease, which subsequently had core biopsy proved osteonecrosis of femoral head. The results obstained were as follows; 1. Roentgenographically apperent osteonecrosis showed abnormal B.M.P. pattern, which were proved by the core biopsy. 2. In 21 cases of preclinical osteonecrosis, which did not show roentgenographic changes of osteonecrosis, measured B.M.P. parterns indicated as early stage of osteonecrosis in core biopsy at all. 3. The incidence of abnormal pressure pattern I was 51% and that of pattern II was 30%. 4. Enneking radiological staging did not correlate with the results of B.M.P. 5. The measurement of B.M.P. is relatively easy and simple method without any remarkable risk. The results of this study had great meaning in emphasizing the contribution of the bone marrow pressure measurement dianosing the preclinical stage of osteonecrosis, which had no roentgenographical changes and diagnostic symptoms.

Generalized sterile pustular eruptions occur in various dermatoses including pustular psoriasis, erythema multiforme, Sneddon-Wilkinsan disease and others. Recentlr, acute eruptions of disseminated sterile pustules have been reported. The etiology is not related to a gepetic predisposition to psoriasis but to drug ingestion or viral infections, thus termed toxic pustuloderm; (T. P.). In this report, we present a typical case of T. P. observed iu our department. Our patient, an 18-year-old male, with no personal or family history of psoriasis, was given drug medication including amoxicillin for fever and chilling sensation. Pustilar eruptions first, appeared on his face about two days aft.er the medication and gradually spread to the trunk and limbs. The skin examination revealed numerous small pustules on an erythematous base. Laboratory examination revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis and an elevated sedimentation rate skin biopsy showed subeorneal and spongiform neutrophilic pustules Upon interruption of the amoxicillin, the pustules cleared rapidly in 3 days and there has been ri.o recui rence of any rash over a 7-month follow-up period.

10.Ocular Diseases of Workers exposed to Radiant Energy from Welding and Furnace in Metal and Machine Industries (Report 2).
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1968;9(4):59-65
1. Apparent ocular findings obtained from a survey on 213 workers exposed to radiant energy were chronic hyperemic pigmented blepharoconjunctivitis (36.3%) which was supposed as a chronic abiotic and thermal lesion of photophthalmia, and pigmentation (melanosis) of bulbar conjunctiva near the limbus (11.5%). 2. Pterygium also was observed with high percentage (26.9%) and external irritative exposures ineluding ultra-violet rays were supposed to play a causative role in producing it. 3. Conjunctival and corneal foreign bodies (87.4%) were the most frequently observed among workers, due probably to improper protective eye equipment. 4. Everyone case of leucoma cornea traumatica, Ieucoma adherens traumatica, burned scar of the lid skin, healed scar of macular burn, macular hole after contusion and post-enucleated anophthalmos after rupture of eye ball was observed. 5. None of cataract case in early stage could be found because the slit-lamp biomicroscope was not available in this screening examination. 6. By ophthalmoscopy, 19 cases of hypertensive retinopathies were observed. 7. Comparison this result with author's former result obtained in 1966 also was made. 8. It is advisable to wear standard protective eye equipment and to administer health education to these workers.
