1.Heterotropic Ossification in Paraplegia: Report of of 4 Cases
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1969;4(2):39-44
Heterotropic ossifications have been known to occur around joints in many pathological conditions of the nervous system mostly in paraplegia and is affects most of the hip joint. Recently, 4 cases of heterotropic ossification in 18 cases of traumatic paraplegia have been reviewed at the orthopedic department of Kyungpook National University Hospital from April 1965 to July 1968 and the results obtained were as follows: 1. All cases were found in male of 3rd to 4th decade. 2. Heterotropic ossification affectected around the hip joint in 3 cases and in the other one case around the medial femoral condyle of knee joint. 3. Three cases affecting around hip joint expressed pressure sores on ipsilateral great trochanteric area, but the other one case affecting around medial femoral condyle had not any pressure sore. 4. In all cases, the heterotropic ossification was noted on X-ray film within 4 to 6 months after paraplegia.

Hand injuries in the industries have been steadily increasing in this country in recent years. All structures are damaged when a hand is caught in punch presses, gears or under falling objects. Irreversible loss of blood supply to the part is only real indication for primary amputation. Statistical observations were carried out on 240 patients of hand injuries who were treated at the Deparement of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University from May, 1972 to April, 1977 and following results were obtained. 1. The peak incidence was in the age group from 11 to 20 years in 83 cases(38.4%) and of the 226 patients, 204(85.0%) were male and 36(15.0%) were female. 2. In general, the incidence of hand injuries per year was annually increased and was much more occurred on April than other months of year. 3. The injured ratio of both hands was almost equal and main causes of hand injury were industrial accident (72.1%), traffic accident(12.9%) and electric accident(6.3%). 4 Most of hand injured patients(81.7%) arrived at our hospital within 6 hours after accidents 5. Of 240 injuries, 78(32.5%) were crushing injury with open comminuted fracture, 39(16.2%) were open fracture and 30(12.5%) were closed fracture. 6. Of injured fingers, 126(51.2%) were mondigit and the remained were polydigits. 7. The most frequency of monodigit injury was index finger(32.5%) and of polydigits injury was middle finger(28.2%) 8. In mondigit amputation, index finger were generally amputated at metacarpo-phalangeal joint and middle finger at proximal phalangeal level. 9. Of 457 injuries with facture, 213(46.6%) were treated by debridement and primary suture, and 94 (20.6%) by debridement and open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation. 10. Of 240 patients, 46 cases(19.2%) were infected and the main causative organisms were pseudomonas aeruginosa (41.3%), Staphylococcus aureus(17.3%) and Alkaligenus fecalis(10.9%).

Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is a rare disease in the category of designated as verrucous carcinoma characterized by its invasive downward penetration of underlying tissues in the perineum and perianal regions. Viruses, unclean sanitation and cytotoxic immune reaction have been proposed as the etiology of the tumor. However, among all the causes, recent studies have emphasized on the associaton of the tumor and human papilloma virus (HPV). Expecially, HPV also has been discovered in several cutaneous and anogenital lesions of solid organ transplant recipients. We herein report a case of Buschke-Lowenstein tumor in a renal transplant recipient with HPV 6 and 16 coinfection proved by HPV genotyping of DNA extracted from the biopsy specimen of the tumor.

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which was first described by Van Lehuizen in 1922, is characterized by the presence at birth of a persistent cut;is marmorata pattern, phlebectasia, spider nevus-like telangiectasia, and areas of ulceration and steady improvernent with time. We reported a case of cutis mar.morata telangiectatica. congenita occuring in a 70 days old female infant showing the reticulated mottling and atrophy of the skin on the both lower extremites, right upper extremity, abdomen and buttock muscle weakening of right upper extremity and left lower extremity compare with the opposite side. Skin lesions were much improved during the observation period of 10 months without any other specific treatment except hermiatrophy of right upper extremity.

BACKGROUND: Induction of general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and skin incision are potent stimuli that can induce increased sympathetic activity, heart rate and blood pressure. We compared the hemodynamic response and catecholamine concentration during general anesthesia with intravenous clonidine pretreatment, a centrally acting -2 adrenoceptor agonist, and without pretreatment. METHODS: Forty ASA I or II patients aged from 20 to 60 years undergoing elective surgery were randomly allocated to two groups. In group I, 5 ml of 0.9% normal saline as control administered intravenously 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia, and anesthesia was induced with thiopental sodium, succinylcholine and maintained with N2O (2.5L/min)-O2 (2.5L/min)-enflurane (1.3~1.8 vol%). In group II, 4 g/kg clonidine diluted in 5ml of normal saline administered intravenously 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia, and anesthesia was induced with thiopental sodium, succinylcholine and maintained with N2O-O2-enflurane (0.5~1.0vol%) and 2 g/kg/hr clonidine was continuously infused. We measured blood pressure, heart rate and plasma catecholamine at preinduction, 1 minute after intubation (T1), 1 (T2) and 30 minutes after skin incision (T3) and compared with group I. RESULTS: There was statistical significance in systolic and diastolic pressure at T1 between two groups. There was statistical significance in heart rate, epinephrine and norepinephrine at T1, T2 and T3 between two groups. CONCLUSION: The elevation of blood pressure, heart rate and plasma catecholamine accompanying tracheal intubation and skin incision may be prevented by administration of intravenous clonidine.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(2):222-233
A clinical observation of cutaneous complications was made on 200 patients receiving cancer chemotherapy at the Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University from January through May, 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 200 patients, 191 case(95. 5%) showed cutaneous complications 2. The cutaneous complications included the following; hyperpigmentation(14l cases, 70. 5%), alopecia(138 cases, 69.4%), nail change(118 cases, 59.0%), mucositis(47 cases, 23.5%), dryness of the skin(40 cases, 20.0%), seborrheic dermatitis(24 cases, 12. 2%), increase of seborrheic keratosis(11 cases, 5.6%), folliculitis or acneiform eruptions(9 cases, 4,5%), melasma(6 cases, 3.0%), gynecomastia(3 cases, 1.5%), vessel hardening or dimpling(3 cases, 1.5%), radiation recall(2 cases, 1.0%), hyperhydrosis(2 cases), photosensitivity(1 case, 0.5%), tissue necrosis(1 case), facial flushing(1 case), purpura(1 case) and obesity(1 case), 3 Steps were taken to determine the chemotherapeutic agents causing these cutaneous complications, though in some cases it was difficult in determining exaetlr which chemotherapeutic agent was the cause of the observed cutaneous complication.
