1.Subtrochanteric Varization Osteotomy with Open Wedge Technic in a Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1981;16(4):867-872
Subtrochsnteric varization osteotomy with open wedge technic was performed for the Legg-Calve-Perthes disease patients of 6 years to 9 years of age. Open wedge technic is less complicated with unwilling effect of postoperative leg shortening than closed wedge technic, but has seldom performed for the patients over 5 years of age because of possible delayed or nonunion of osteotomy site. Authors trial of this technic in a older patient(6 to 9 years of age) showed excellent post-operative result with noneventual post-operative course including delayed or nonunion.

An experimental study on the effect of the induced dislocation of the femoral head on the femoral anteversion was made in the hips of 55 rabbits, three to four weeks old. The results were as follows; l. In 49 of the 55 operated rabbits, a relative increase of anteversion was observed on the dislocated side, as compared with the nonoperated femur, the differences ranging from 3 to 55 degrees with an average of 20.0 degrees. 2. The anteversion angle of dislocated hip showed steady and gradual increase with the increase of age. 3. The anteversion increase was detected very early after operation; 3 of the 4 rabbits, belonging 4 to 7 days group after operation showed the anteversion increase. 4. The collapse of proximal femoral epiphysis was observed in 42 of the total 55 hips. The incidence of the collapse was higher in postoperative 4 weeks and more groups. 5. The color change, pale discoloration, of the articular cartilage was observed in 32 of the total 55 hips. The icnidence of pale discoloration was higher in the groups within 8 weeks after operation.

Methanol poisoning is a rare disease but may cause blindness and, in severe cases, results in death. It may develop lesions in optic nerve and retina, which may be accompanied with permanent visual damage. We report a case of Methanol poisoning in a 20 year-old male patient, which is followed by optic atrophy and loss of vision.

We analysed clinically 354 glaucomatous patients from 1983 to 1987 who visited the clinic of the Department of Ophthalmology of National Medical Center. The results were as follows: 1) The prevalence of glaucoma was 1.56% among the out-patients. 2) The primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG) was the most frequent type. 3) The mean age of the patients with POAG was 47.8 +/- 14.2 years and 60.8 +/- 8.9 years was that of the patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG). 4) There was no sexual preference in various types of glacoma, except PACG and secondary glaucoma. 5) There was no significant difference in laterality between right and left eyes.

Authors report the preliminary result of 86 consecutive femoral head replacements with ceramic head performed at Chonnam University Hospital(73 hips) and Kwangju Christian Hospital(13 hips) during the period of 2 years and 6 months between January 1985 and June 1987. The results were as follows ; l. Eighty-three patients were comprised of 41 men(44 hips) and 42 women(42 hips). 2. Their average age at operation was 62.8 years, the oldest being 86 and the youngest being 24 years and 57 patients(68.7%) of them were over 60 years of age. 3. The causative diseases of the femoral head were hip fracture and its related conditions in 74 hips, and idiopathic avascular necrosis in 12 hips. 4. Associated general diseases, a total of 69 in number, could be diagnosed in 54 patients of them. These included hypertension(18 patients), cardiovascular disease(10 patients), and diabetes mellitus(8 patients). 5. The average diameters of the ceramic head were 49.8 mm in men and 45.1 mm in women. 6. The types of femoral stem were cemented stem(Xenophor 900 stem) in 45 hips and noncemented stem(Autophor 900S stem) in 41 hips. 7. The early postoperative complications, a total of 9 in number, were encountered and these included death in hospital(3 patients), trochanteric fracture(2 patients), pneumonia (1 patient), and others(3 patients). 8. The late postoperative complications, a total of 9 in number, were encountered and these included acetabular erosion(4 hips) and heterotopic ossification(5 hips). 9. Forty-nine hips could be followed more than 1 year with average follow-up of 19.9 months. The hip function of these 49 hips were excellent in 13 hips, good in 24 hips, fair in 8 hips, poor in 3 hips and bad in 1 hip. 10. In conclusion, it can be stated that the femoral head replacement with ceramic head prosthesis is very promising in reducing the incidence of acetabular erosion and maintaining the regained hip function.

BACKGROUND: Viral isolation in cell culture remains as a reference method for diagnosis of enteroviral infection. Enteric adenoviruses are cultivated in 293 cells. Enteroviral and enteroadenovrial tropisms for the gastrointestinal tract lead to the assumption that 293 cells would be useful in enteroviral isolation. We evaluated usefulness of 293 cells in the diagnosis of enteroviral infection. METHODS: Human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HEL), HeLa, RD and 293 cells were used to evaluate viral isolation from clinical specimens, susceptibilities of the cell lines to reference enteroviral strains and influence to stool extracts on the viral isolation. Forty-four stool specimens collected from patients during the epidemic period of type 9 echoviral aseptic meningitis and type 30 echoviral culture-positive 33 stool and 58 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were inoculated onto cell lines. RESULTS: Echovirus type 9 was isolated from 31 of 44 stool specimens. Of 31 echovirus 9 isolates, 22 (71.0%), 21 (67.7%), 6 (19.4%) and 3 (9.7%) were detected in HEL, 293, RD and HeLa, respectively. Of 33 echovirus 30 isolates from stool specimens, 32 (97.0%) were detected in 293; 17 (51.5%) were detected in RD. Of 58 echovirus 30 isolates from CSF specimens, 39 (67.2%) were detected in 293; 30 (51.7%) were detected in RD. 293 cells were sensitive for coxsackievirus A9 reference strain and echovirus 7 reference strain. Stool extracts induced enhanced cytopathic effect by echovirus 9 infection in 293 and HEL. CONCLUSIONS: 293 cells are useful in the diagnosis of echoviral and some enteroviral infection.

To investigate the change in upper eyelid position after cataract operation, We studied 40 eyes of 40 patients prospectively who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Levator function and vertical palpebral lid fissure height were measured preoperatively and at postoperative day 1, 7, 28 and 56 in and the surgical and the fellow eyes. Postoperative mean vertical lid fissure height decreased compared with preoperative mean vertical lid fissure height in both eyes. The postoperative decrease in vertical lid fissure height tended to decrease with times and these trends had statistically significant correlation between both eyes. This suggests that both eyes are affected by factors unassociated with the cataract surgery and it is most apparent in the immediate postoperative period. In conclusion, we recommend not only the surgical eye but the fellow eye should be evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively to understand the eyelid position after cataract operation.
