The Kato-Katz (KK) method is a well-known method of fecal examination for helminthiases. Its diagnostic sensitivity was found very high for clonorchiasis. The present study evaluated the correlation of Clonorchis sinensis egg counts by the KK method with those by direct smear and formalin-ether (FE) technique. The egg counts obtained by the KK method (Y) were correlated with the counts by direct smear (X) with the equation of Y = 659.4 + 0.266X (r2= 0.738), but not with those by the FE method. The present study demonstrated that the KK method and direct smear were useful for both qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of clonorchiasis, especially in the field.

Authors' presented an interesting case, 19 years old boy, who was been suffered from retinal periphlebitis of both eyes which thought to be induced by Barre Syndrome. This patient also has pulmonary tuberculosis and visual symptoms of Barre Syndrome in this case were ocular pain and visual disturbance that appeared and disappeared suddenly due probably to irritation of the ventral nerve roots (C5 to T1) with also irritation of sympathetic fibers contained in them.

Because most of the hip fracture is endemic to an elderly population, high mortality and morbidity has been encountered due to the fatal complications such as pneumonia, thromboembolism, and decubitus ulceration. So, it is essential to achieve early ambulation with complete reduction by strong interoal fixation divices in order to reduce those complications. As early as 25 years ago McCarroll remarked that this fracture must be considered “unsolved until the incidence of aseptic necrosis and nonunion could be diminished or abolished. Since that time improved reduction method and many new strong fixation divices such as Jewett nail-plate, Massie nail, and compression hip screw have been developed to achieve more accurate reduction and rigid immobilization. The following clinical results were shown by analysis of 117 cases of hip fractures experienced in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University in the past 5 years from Jan. 1974 to Dec. 1978. 1. Femoral neck fractures were 67 cases and intertrochanteric fractures were 36 cases. 2. The most common cause of hip fractures was slip or fall (70.1%). 3. Incidence of femoral neck fracture was most frequent in the 6th decade, and that of the intertrochanteric fracture was in the 7th decade that is compared with 7th and 8th decade of Caucasian respectively. 4. Old hip fracture more than 3 weeks after trauma was in the 53.6%, and especially that of neck fracture was about 57%. 5. In the classification of the hip fractures, transcervical neck fracture was most frequent (70.1%), and unstable type (79.5%) in the intertrochanteric fracture. 6. Knowles pin was usually used in the stable neck fracture, while compression hip screw used in the unstable neck fracture. 7. Jewett nail-plate was usually used after Dimon-Hughston reduction, and compression hip screw after anatomical reduction in the unstable intertrochanteric fracture. But in the stable fracture either Jewett nail-plate or compression hip screw was usually used after anatomical reduction. 8. Endoprosthesis (26 cases), and total hip replacement arthroplasty (8 cases) were usually carried out in the old femur neck fracture treated by total hip arthroplasty was better than that by endoprosthesis. 9. Avascular necrosis was 13.3%, and nonunion 20% in the femur neck fracture. Nonunion was 12.5%, and delayed union 4.2% in the intertrochanteric fracture. With the above mentioned results, the following conclusion is obtained: 1. It is recommended that open reduction or arthriplasty of the hip should be performed if the closed reduction of the fracture of femoral neck is not adequate. 2. Graden alignment index is a good criteria for adequate reduction of femoral neck fracture. 3. Malunion induces the fate of femoral head to be avascular in the femoral neck fracture. 4. Compression hip screw is a good stabilizer for unstable intertrochanteric fracture. 5. The position of femoral endoprosthesis for delayed or inadequately reduced femoral neck fracture may be replaced by total hip replacement. The clinical result of total hip replacement is far better than that of femoral endoprosthesis In the cases of arthroplasty indication.

Anatomically olecranon fracture is an intra-articular fracure, so reduction must be exact. Using the principle of Zuggurtungsosteosynthese by Weber, Pauwels' clinical study of olecranon fracture showed the superiority of tension band. 15 patients with olecranon fracture of the ulna who were treated with tension band and could be followed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Han Il Hospital from January, 1974 to December, 1980 have been reviewed. The result obtained is as follows. We obtained the more rigid fixation with modifying the standard tension band locating the end of K-wire in the cortex of opposite side cortex of ulna. So, the result of treatment was satisfactory.

OBJECTIVE: The object of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a sonographic morphologic scoting system, the serum CA-125 assay, and a combination of both in patients undergoing laparotomy for a clinically diagnosed adnexal mass. METHODS: In 129 consecutive patients, the morphology of the mass was evaluated and scored by the morphologic scoring system of Sassones using transabdominal or transvaginal sonography and blood samples were obtained for CA-125 assay before planning surgery, RESULTS: The sensitivity of the sonographic morphologic scoring system was 90.6%, the specificity 84.5%, the positive predictive value 65.9%, and the negative predictive value 96.5%, compared with 68.8, 77.3, 50.0, and 88.2% for CA-125 and 96.9, 66.0, 48.4, and 98.5% for the two tests combined, respectively. Only one case of serous borderline ovarian tumor was missed when the two tests were combined. The sensitivity and mean value of the serum CA-125 increased with the stage of ovarian cancer. CONCLUSION: The combination of sonographic findings with a serum CA-125 assay was more sensitive, but less specific, than sonography or the serum CA-125 assay alone in predicting the malignancy of an adnexal mass. The serum CA-125 level generally reflected the stage of the disease. We think that it is reasonable to check the serum CA-125 only in cases of ovarian malignancy diagnosed by sonography.
