Hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis is one of the rare familial disease characterized by recurrent and transient attacks of weakness or paralysis of the somatic musculature. Also, this disease is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in most cases. During an attack, the plasma potassium falls as a rasults of shift of potassium from the extracellular to the intracelluar compartment, but there is no loss of total potassium from the body. We have experienced hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis recently which affected 4 members in a family,and report this disorder.

Recently, the rates of various traffic accidents and industrial injuries accordlng to industrial progression were increased very much. In those injuries, open tibial shaft fractures were one of the most common ones of all long bones of the body. The authors have reviewed and analyzed 30 cases of the open tibial shaft fractures which were treated by pin and plaster method at our hospital from April 1976 to August 1979. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the fractures occurred in 20 and 30 age levels, average age was 34.4. Male 5 > female 1 in accident frequency. 2. The causes were traffic accident (67%), direct blow (17%), falling down from a height (13%), and mechanical trauma (3%) in order. 3. In location of fractures, Lt. 16 > Rt. 11 > both. 3; lower (47%), middle (33%), upper (20%), one thirds and comminuted (60%) > transvers (20%) > oblique (13%) > spiral (4%) > segmental fractures in frequency. 4. The associated injuries were fractures of fibulas (67%) > multiple skin damages (40%) > knee joint patella injuries... etc. Total of those injuries were 68.; One patient gained 2.26 kinds of those injuries simultaneously. 5. By classification of Ellis, minor severity (33%) > moderate one (40%) > major one fractures (27%). And according to results of pin and plaster treatment, bony union took roughly 11, 15, above 23 weeks respectively. 6. The summed contaminatlon and infection rate was below 20%, and cultured bacterias were E. Coli (50%) > staphylocci (33%) > pseudomonas (17%) and susceptabilities to penicillin were 60, 90, 25% respectively. 7. By classification of time interval from injury to apply pin and plaster method, early applied group (17 cases) showed bony union rate (7.6.4%), delayed one (11.7%), nonunion (5.8%), late group showed 50, 12.5, 6.3%, far late group showed 40, 40, 20% respectively. 8. Duration of the cast immobilization was 4–7 weeks and then it was changed by P. T. B. cast until about 4 monthes from injury, after it, vigorous P. T. was carried out. Good results were come in 80% (24 cases). 9. Pin and plaster method will be indicated in minor & moderate severity-fractures, but in major ones, it will be used as a preliminary stage operation.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon tumor-like lesion of the bone containing distended vascular channels or cvities filled with blood. These cases, twenty-nine old female, eighteen years old male and female patients complained of pain and swelling in Rt. Medial aspect of proximal foot, Lt. proximal tibial portion and Rt. entire talar aspect of foot, respectively. Roentgenograms showed ballooned-out distensions and eccentric buldging of those lesions and soapbubble like multiple radiolucent cystic changes within interiors of the bones at talar neck, Proximal tibia and entire talus. Those cases were treated with radical curettage and autogenous iliac bone grafts and snugly fitted long leg casts in functional positions, respectively. On 2nd postoperative day, Cast windows were made and daily sterile dressings were carried out until complete wound healing. Pathological Examinations grossly and Microscopically revealed typical Aneruysmal bone cysts in all 3 cases. All-Patients had good therapeutic recovery within about seven weeks post-operatively.

We have experienced a reexpansion pulmonary edema(RPE) during general anesthesia. This patient has undertaken the decortication operation due to right sided massive pleural effusion and fibrothorax. Generally reexpansion pulmonary edema is believed to oceur only when a chronically collapsed lung is rapidly reexpanded by evacuation of large amount of air or fluid in pneumothorax and pleural effusion. The pathogenesis of RPE is unknown and is probably multifactorial. The implicated etiologies are chronicity of collapse, technique of reexpansion, increased pulmonary vascular permeability, airway obstruction, loss of surfactant and pulmonaty artery pressure changes. The outcome of RPE may be fatal, so physician treating lung collapse must be aware of the possible causes and endeavor to prevent the occurrence of this complieation.
