Bleomycin is a glycopetide antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces verticillus which has a wide spectrum of antiturnor and antimicrobial activities and is currently used in treatment of certain neoplasms. Its selective effect on Squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed by Ichikawa(1969) and Ueno(1970). Bleomycin inhibits the synthesis of K)NA in animal cells and has sorne degree of selective toxicity against DNA virus infections. The drug has been reported to be useful in the topical treatment of verrucae by Fujita et al., in 1971. Since then many physicians have been using Bleomycin as topical therapeutic agent on. warts, esecially in Japan. The authors used Bleomycin as topical antiwart agent utilizing needle free syringe ." Dermo-Jet. 29 patients are studied, the clinical and histopathologial cha.nges are followed and reported. The advantages of utilizing Dern:o-Jet compared to that of usual needle syringe method are a) More accurate dosage of the drug can be infiltrated to the lesion, especially in the epidermis. b) Resulting pain is shorter in duration c) The fear, especially of children, created by the introduction of a hypodermic needle is diminished, d) The manipulation of this peculiar syringe n-ay give the patients hypnotic effect. Clinically 3 different ways of regressing processes are observed. 1. Casting off of dried keratinous r.naterial 2. Vesicle or pustule formation 3. Frogressive diminution of the size of warts. Histologic studies are carried out on 24, 48, 72 hours and I week after the injection. 1. The findings of specimens taken 24, 48, 72 hours after the injections include; a) Cells with small elongated deeply basophilic nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm whose boundaries are indistinct appeared in some areas of the epidermis. In the lower most layer of the epidermis several rows of small cells with. minute basopbilic nuclei lie in palisade arrangement. b) Loss of basal cell layer c) Necrosis of epidermal cells d) Subepidermal abscess 2. The findings of specimen taken 7 days after the injection are; In the mid part of horny laycr band like collection of yellowish-brown hemorrhage born material and small elongated deeply basophilic nuclei which were observed in l. a) are seen. Directly beneath this area the epidermis showes no basal cell layer and many finger like projectians of rete ridges whir,h is far more in number than normal skin, It is thought that healing process of wart through Bleomycin local injection can be accomplished by 1. The altered epidermal cells reject further wart virus replication and heals by casting off of all altered part of the epidermis. 2. The subepidermal abscess may brings wart to be cast off, 3. The wart virus be destroyed directly by Bleomycin. Bleomycin treatment with Dermo-Jet has a definite place in the management of warts.

Extraskeletal Neoplasm Resembling Ewings Sarcoma was firstly reported with comprehensive review of 39 cases by L. Angervall and F.M. Enzinger in 1975. The tumors chiefly affected young adults and most commonly involved the soft tissue of lower extremity. Microscopically, they were consisted of solidly packed small, round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets or lobules, which were indistinguishable from those of the Ewings sarcoma of bone. The authors recently experienced a soft tissue sarcoma occurring in deltoid area of young male patient, which was diagnosed extraskeletal neoplasm resembling Ewings sarcoma. The case review is presented.

The goals of hip arthroplasty have been to eliminate pain, decrease deformity, increase morbility and obtain stabiIity. Currently total hip replacement is the best avaliable procedure to accomplish these goals. A prospective study of total hip arthroplasty was begun at the orthopedic dept of Kyung Hee Medical College in 1974. Between May, 1974 and June, 1977. 69 total hip replacements of the Charnley type, the Trapesoidal-28 type and the Muller type were peformed by the authors. Of the 60 Patients involved in this study, 9 had bilateral operations. The Charnley type Prosthetic device was used in 56 cases, the Trapesoidal-28 type in 7 cases and the Muller type in 6 cases. Complications included wire breakage, dislocation, loosening, femur shaft perforation, nonunion of greater-trochanter, acetabular protrusion, transient femoral nerve palsy, femur shaft fracture, infection, socket lateralization, ectopic bone formation and death. In 59 patients of the 60 patients, 53 patients felt that they were definitely improved, 5 patients felt their condition was unchanged and 1 patient felt her condition was worse.
