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.

Adenoma of the nipple is a benign tumor of the lactiferous ducts of the nipple which frequently causes erosion of the surface. It can clinically mmic Paget's disease and histologically be misdiagnosed as a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A 20-year-old woman developed an erythematous oozing patch on the right nipple two years ago, which subsequently developed iiito verrucous surfaccd papules. A biopsy specimen of the lesion showed focal acanthosis of the epidermis. The tumor was composed of fairly well-circumscribed, glandlike structures within the nipple stroma. Ductlike struciures, papillary areas, solid nests of cells and cysts lined by squarnous epithelium, could be seen, Two cell types lining the ducts were recognized; inner columnar cells and peripherally located cuboidal cells. Although simple excision of the adenoma is the treatment of choice, our case was treated successfully by electrucoagulation.

The present study was designed to obtain omparative data on in vitro antifungal activities of imidazole derivatives. Minimum inhibitory oncentrations of clotrimazole, miconazole, econazole, ketoconazlole and griseofulvin on 4 strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, 3 strains of Trichophyton rubrum, 2 strains of Microsporum canis and ] strain of Sporothriv: schenckii were etermined after 3 week' incubation at room temperature on Sabouraud's dextrose liquid media. In addition, the fungicidal activities of miconazole and econazole were tested against Z'richophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis, using the techniques described by Vanbreuseghern(1967) The results are summarzed as follows: ] In most of the dermatophytes studied, 1 to 10 pg/ml of M1C were detected. Diverse susceptibility pattern was observed among different fungal species, but no or minor variability was noted within the same species. The susceptibility of Z'ri- chophyton rubrum showed at MIC of 0. 01 to 10 pg/ml, T ichophyton mentagro- phyt.es and Mic osporum canis at 0.1 to 10 pg/ml and 0. 1 to 1000 gg/ml respec- tively. The Trichophyton rubrum was the most sensitive. In the susceptibility test of Sporothrix schenckii, the high resistance to clotrimazole and griseofuhin was observed. The fungistatic activities of miconazole, econazole and ketoconazole were observed only at concentrations higher than JpQ pg/ml.

A 56-year- old man showed millet seed to egg sized, yellowish tender papules, subcutaneous mass on the both elbows, dorsa of both hands & feet, and lateral malleoli and helix of right ear for 6 years. the significant laboratory findings were leukocytosis, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, glycosuria, hyperuricemia and increased blood glucose level. X-ray findings of both hands & feet demonstrated gouty arthritic patterns. Histopathologic findings of the left lateral malleolar lesion revealed the typical patterns. Histopathologic findings of the left lateral malleolar lesion revealed the typical pattern of gout with needle-shaped urate crystal. Therapy was begun with colchicine & allopurinol but the patient died of renal failure three weeks after the start of therapy.
