We had a retrospective study for taumatic fracture of spines with simple X-ray and CT. During the period of 2years from June 1983, the radiological and clinical evaluation had been made on 36 patients suffered from traumatic fracture of spines which were confiremd by the radilgocial examination. The results were as follows; 1.Among 36 patients, single spinal injury was 26 cases(72.2%), multiple level injuries was 10 cases(27.7%). 2. Levelof spinal injuries were as follows; Most frequent site was thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2) in 19 cases(52.7%), andlower cervical spine(C3-C7) in 9 cases(25%). 3. Simple fracture was in 15 cases(41.6%), burst fractures was in 21cases(58%). Neurologic symptoms were appeared in 11 cases(52%) in 21 cases of burst fractures. 4. Manifestationsof spinal canal narrowing: 2 of 15 cases in simple fracture, all of 21 cases of burst fractures,and we were foundexactly posterior element fractures with CT, which were difficult to detect with simple X-ray film. 5. Multiplanar reconstruction images were more favorable to detect the distraction of facet joint, fracture through the vertebralendplate, subluxation and kyphosis, which were difficult to detect with axial CT images.

We evaluated sex and age distribution, cause of death, death to enucleation time and contamination and viral (HBs Ag) infection of 211 donor eyes which were obtained from Central Eye Bank at St. Mary's Hospital from April 1, 1990 to September 30, 1991. 1. In sex and age distribution, 112 (53.1 %) donors were male, and 121 (57.3%) donors were above 61 years of age. The age group from 71 to 80 years was the most common (47 donors; 22.3%). 2. The most common cause of death was respiratory disease (75 donors; 35.6%), and then circulatory disease (53 donors; 25.1 %), tumor (35 donors; 16.6%) and infectious disease ( 29 donors; 13.7%). 3. 197 (93.4%) donor eyes were required within 6 hours from death to enucleation. 4. The conjunctival and limbal cultures of 211 donor eyes which were irrigated by 0.3% gentamicin eyedrop solution after extraction were positive in 56 eyes (26.5%). 5. The most prevailing cultured organism was Staphylococcus aureus (14 eyes; 25.0%). 6. Hepatitis B surface antigen in aqueous humor of all donor eyes was negative.

The authors have recently experienced a case of conjunctival papilloma which was developed on whole conjunctiva. The 6-year-old girl has soft, pinkish and pedunculated culated growth with delicate finger like processes in the right eye. The processes are scattered all over the mucous membrane of the bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva in considerable numbers. It is probable that many of these pedunculated types are of viral origin and that their spreads are due to contact infection. The papilloma of viral origin has no evidence of distant metastasis or malignant changes. The treatment was performed by electric cauterization with hyfricator and the result has been excellent up to date, 6 months after cauterization.

BACKGROUND: Negative U wave is frequent maker of systemic hypertension, aortic or mitral regurgitation and myocardial ischemia. This study was undertaken to determine the diagnostic significance of exercise-induced negative U wave in coronary artery stenosis. METHOD: 72 patients(46 men and 26 women ; 24~66 years of age) with chest pain were analysed with exercised-induced negative U wave and coronary angiographic finding. RESULT: Exercise-induced negative U wave was seen in 14 patients(19%). Among 14 patients with exercise-induced negative U wave, the predictive value of significant coronary artery stenosis(> or =75% stenosis of major coronary artery) was 71%, Exercise-induced negative U wave is more prevalent in patients with significant coronary artery stenosis(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Exercise-induced negative U wave is a good marker of significant coronary artery stenosis.
