As a decompression means, the fasciotomy has been of good evaluation in many diseases such as impending V.I.C., ischemic myositis due to CO poisoning, snake bite, burn, anterior tibial compartment syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and gas gangrene, etc. From 1966 to 1973, 7 cases of snake bites and 5 cases of the ischemic myositis due to CO poisoning were treated at the Orthopedic Department of Seoul National University Hospital and the results were as follows; 1. All cases of the snake bites had got good results without any complication after the fasciotomy, while the fasciotomy performed in the ischemic myositis due to CO poisoning were not effective. 2. The time elapsed from the snake bite to the fasciotomy had a close relation to the prognosis. 3. In the 4 of 5 cases of the ischemic myositis due to CO poisoning, infections were superimposed on the fasciotomy sites. 4. The inappropriately continuous use of the tourniquet for hours after the snake bites caused worse prognosis.

Meconium peritonitis is an aseptic peritonitis caused by spill of meconium in the abdominal cavity through one or several intestinal perforations which have taken place during intrauterine life or early neonatal life. We experienced three cases of meconium peritonitis with ileal perforation in two cases 1 day-old male neonate and 2 day-old male neonate, respectively, which had the chief complaint of vomiting and abdominal distension. Literatures are reviewed, briefly.

We evaluate the effects of a calcium antagonist(nifedipine) and a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (allopurinol), drugs having a protective effect against shock wave induced renal dysfunction, on acute changes of renal function after piezoelectric ESWL. A total of 40 patients with renal stones undergoing piezoelectric ESWL with LT02 lithotriptor was randomly assigned to 4 groups. Group 1 received no medication and the others received nifedipine(group 2), allopurinol(group 3), and nifedipine plus allopurinol(group 4), respectively. NAG, LDH, 7-GTP, D2M, and microalbumin were measured in the 24-hour urine before and after ESWL. Baseline levels of these parameters were not statistically different between the control group and the others. After ESWL, NAG and microalbumin were significantly increased in group l(p<0.01). In groups 2 and 4, all of the parameters after ESWL were not significantly different from the Values before ESWL. Although the level of NAG after ESWL was significantly higher(p<0.01) than that of the pre-ESWL in group 3, the change of NAG was milder in group 3 comparing to group 1. The range of increase of NAG in groups 2 and 4 were significantly low(<0.01) compared to group 1, and the range of increase of microalbumin in groups 2, 3, 4 were significantly low compared to group l(group 2, 4; p<0.01, group 3; p<0.05). Our results indicate that nifedipine and/or allopurinol can prevent or decrease acute changes of renal function after ESWL using LT02 piezoelectric lithotriptor and especially nifedipine seems to be more efficient than allopurinol.

Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor arising from pericytes. The tumor usually develops in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, particularly in the extremities.4 pulmonary origin of hemangiopericytoma is known to be quite rare. It has the potential to become a highly malignant lesion, so wide excision is the treatment of choice. We present a case of primary malignant hemangiopericytoma of the lung and discuss the clinical symptoms, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis within the context of a brief review.

We clinically reviewed four patients who were suffering from aseptic meningitis combined with polio-like paralysis and performed radiological. neurological and virological studies on them. Three patients were admitted to the department of Pediatrics. Asan Medical Center from March to August 1990, and one patient was admitted to the department of Pediatrics. Kangnam General Hospital. The results were as follows; 1) During the period of study, 18 patients (10.1%)out of 178 aseptic meningitis patients also suffered from hand, foot and mouth disease, and three patients (1.69%) out of 178 patients also suffered from polio-like paralysis. 2) The age of the patients who also suffered from polio-like paralysis were eight months, 22 months, 23 months and four years old respectively. Three patients were male and one patient was female. 3) Paralysis developed three to five days after aseptic meningitis infection. 4) In two cases, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) showed two small cavitary lesions that means anterior horn cell necrosis in concordant with residual paralysis. Axial T1-weighted image showed decreased signal intensity and axial T2-weighted image showed increased signal intensity. In another case 20 days after onset of illness MR was performed, the transverse myelitis showed mild swelling of cornus medullaris. Follow up MR in 2 months revealed atropic change in lower thoracic spinal cord. 5) The electromyography and nerve conduction velocity test revealed acute polyradiculoneuropathy. 6) Serologic virus study were carried out in three cases for Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus 71. The Enterovirus 71 antibody titer were 1:128 in two cases and 1:64 in one case. The Coxsackievirus A16 antibody titer were less than 1:4. This study showed that the causative agents for polio-like paralysis during this period seemed to be the Enterovirus 71 infection.
