We analyzed 34 extension contracture of the knee patients after modified Judet's procedure. Male patient was 32 and female was 2. Age ranged from 19 years to 61 years average being 34 years old. Follow-up period ranged from 12 months to 7 years and 8 months average being 3 years 8 months. 1. The extension contracture of the knee were due to not only scarring of the vastus intermedius but contractures of quadriceps muscles, and finally did lead to intraarticular adhesion in all cases. 2. The results of modified Judet's procedure were excellent or good in 97% and we concluded that the modified Judet's procedure of quadricepsplasty was good method of treatment in extension contracture of the knee. 3. The extension lag after modified Judet's procedures was increased initially but overcame by physical therapy, and did not significantly increase even after release of rectus femoris. 4. Modified Judet's procedure was able to permit early physical therapy without any skin problem.

The Saville's index of the lumbar spine and the Singh's index of the femoral neck is very simple method to measure degree of osteoporosis. Authors compared Singh's index and Savilles index with Dual Photon Absorptiometry(D.P.X.) and studied the reliability and clinical usefulness of two indices. We took the D.P.X. and simple L-spine lateral view in 103 patients in same time and also performed D.P.X. and both hips A-P view in 70 patients, then analyzed and compared each two indices with D.P.X. The Singh's index had less interpersonal difference and intrapersonal difference compared with Saville's spine index. There was some confidence of Singh's index and Saville's spine index compared with the D.P.X., but the relationship between Saville's spine index and D.P.X. was less promising than that of Singh's index. Authors suggest that the Saville's spine index has less clinical usefulness than Singh's index in measurement of osteoporosis.

c-erbB-2 oncogene is a normal cellular proto-oncogene coding transmembrane glycoprotein structurally similar to the epidermal growth factor receptor. Amplification of this oncogene in a variety of human adenocarcinomas has been reported and is particularly well documented in breast carcinoma. It has been suggested that amplification of this oncogene is indicative of poor prognosis and is valuable only second to the lymph node status. Using immunohistochemical staining for the c-erbB-2 protein, overexpression of this protein was analysed in 228 primary breast cancer specimens and the frequency of overexpression and the relationship between overexpression and the other established prognostic variables are evaluated. Ninty three cases out of 228 cases(40.8%) show postive oncoprotein overexpression and using the chi-squared test for a trend, a significant correlation was found between c-erbB-2 protein staining and the histological grade, lymph node status, and estrogen receptor status(P<0.05). No significant association was found between staining and the patient's age and tumor size. Most of the tumors with histological types known to have good prognosis showed negative expression. Above findings strongly suggest that expression of c-erbB-2 oncogene is another independent indicator of poor prognosis in breast carcinoma.

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic disorder which has frequent involvement of gastrointestinal tract. Non specific symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain are well known symptoms when the gastrointestinal tract is involved. The most feared gastrointestinal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus is lupus enteritis. The pathological change in lupus enteritis is usually a result of mesenteric vasculitis. Major complications such as intestinal bleeding and perforation may occur and sometimes result in sugery. Because of high mortality rate in case of major complications, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is very important. We experienced three patients with lupus enteritis who presented with severe abdominal pain and dirrhea. They were diagnosed by characteristic radiographical findings of small bowel series and barium study. All radiographical findings has been resolved completely with the steroid therapy. Conclusively we can induce complete remission by steroid therapy alone, if we diagnose lupus enteritis in the early period of disease course.

Computerized tomography has been used in the evaluation of the intracranial lesions. Recently the usage of computerized tomography has progressively widened in many fields of clinical practice. In orthopedics computerized tomography has been tried in the diagnosis and the determination of treatment of tumors, spinal disorders, hip disorders and knee problem. Four problem cases in which concentric reduction could not be obtained after closed reduction of hip dislocations were evaluated by computerized tomography from Apr, 1, 1983 to Mar. 31, 1984 in the Capital Armed Forces General Hospital and following conclusiions were obtained: 1. Open reduction revealed that muscles(adductor and pyriformis muscles), joint capsule and osteocartilaginous loose bodies (femoral and acetabular) were interposed to hinder concentric reduction. Large posterior acetabular fragment induced instability and redislocation of the hip. 2. When there were 2-3 mm lack of symmetry of the two femoral heads or any abnormal findings(breakage of Shenton's line etc.) in plain roentgenography, computerized tomography was recommanded, and muscles, osteocartilaginous loose bodies and instability were found. 3. Computerized tomography is an easy simple method and has a great diagnostic value in the evaluation of asymmetry and instability after closed reduction of traumatic hip dislocations.

To present CT and clinical features of active tuberculomas, we analyzed retrospectively CT findings of 14 tuberculomas (n=14) in 13 patients which appeared as solitary pulmonary nodules on plain radiographs and evaluated the response of tuberculomas to antituberculous chemotherapy. Nine tuberculomas (64%) were ovoid in shape and 10 (72%) showed smooth margin. Twelve(86%) tuberculomas were shown as low density lesions on unenhanced or enhanced CT scans. Calcification and cavitation were noted in three (21%) and eight (57%) tuberculomas respectively. Seven (50%) tuberculomas were accompanied by satellite nodules. Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) was positive in all tuberculomas in sputum, lavage fluid, or percutaneous transhoracic needle aspiration (PTNA). Smear and culture of lavage fluid and PTNA aspirate were superior to the detection of AFB than sputum examination. Follow-up study with antituberculous chemotherapy in 14 tuberculomas resulted in complete disappearance in three, decrease in size in seven, and no visible change in the remaining four. These observations suggest that tuberculomas are well-defined, ovoid, and low-density nodules containing calcifications and/or cavitations. Tuberculomas are relatively indolent even with threatment.

BACKGROUND: Non-small lung cancer(NSCLC) develops as a result of the accumulation of multiple genetic abnormalities. Loss of heterozygosity(LOH) is one of the most frequent genetic alterations that is found in NSCLC, and the chromosomal regions that display a high rate of LOH are though to harbor tumor suppressor genes(TSGs). This study was done to determine the frequency of LOH in 21q with the aim of identifying potential TSG loci. METHOD: Thirty-nine surgically resected NSCLCs were analysed. Patietns peripheral lymphocytes were used as the source of the normal DNA. Five microsatellite markers of 21q were used to study LOH : 21q21.1(D21S1432, and D21S1994) ; 21q21.2-21.3(D21S1442) ; 21q22.1(21S1445) ; and 21q22.2-22.3(D21S266). The fractional allelic loss(FAL) in a tumor was calculated as the ratio of the number of markers showing LOH to the number of informative markers. RESULT: LOH for at least one locus was detected in 21 of 39 tumors(53.8%). Among the 21 tumors with LOH, 5(21.8%) showed LOH at almost all informative loci. Although statistically not significant, LOH was found more frequently in squamous cell carcinomas(15 of 23, 65.2%) than in adenocarcinomas(6 of 16, 37.5%). In the squamous cell carcinomas the frequency of LOH was higher in stage II-III (80.0%) than in stage I (53.8%). The FAL value in squamous cell carcinomas(0.431±0.375) was significantly higher than that found in adenocarcinomas(0.192±0.276). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that LOH on 21q may be involved in the development of NSCLC, and that TSG(s) that contribute to the pathogenesis of NSCLC may exist on 21q.
