A girl aged 18 years and 1 month, had a Angle's Class Iff malocclusion, characterized by anterior crossbite, anterior crowding, and constriction from right lower 2nd p emolar to right lower 2nd molar This ~i5 5s patient underwent scaling and 84148 extraction, and multibanded system was placed. After 14 months, anterior crossbite and crowding was corrected, andbothdental arches were improved. After 6 months from debanding, band space disappeared, and any relapse was not detected.

There is no sport in which the shoulder does not play an integral role. There are many patients with shoulder joint problems in volleyball, baseball, tennis and golf. In volleyball, a quick strong spike is necessary. Therefor, the treatment of shoulder injuries as well as the protection of the shoulder is a great concern of the player. The authors have done and analysis of the playing history and the clinical studies of the volleyball players who have been recorded as patients of the department of orthopedic surgery, Korea National Police hospital, from January 1977 to December 1980. Results of the study are as follows: l. Of the ages between 17 and 25, the average age was 19.9. 2. Out of 228 case studies 96 complained of shoulder pain or 42.1%. 3. The 84, or 87.6% of the players used the posterior angle spike. The anterior angle spikers and middle angle spikers were 6 players or 6.2% each. 4. Of 60 posterior angle spikers attempted to change spiking angle, 46 or 76% were able to alieviable the shoulder pain. 5. In the posterior angle spikers the lever arm is at its shortest extent so the cases of pain were analyzed as due to repeated impingement of supraspinatus tendon.

Developmental surface ultrastructure of Macroorchis spinulosus was studied by scanning electron microscopy. One-day-old juvenile fluke was leaf-shaped and bent ventrally. Body surface was covered densely with peg-like spines and with cobblestone-like cytoplasmic processes. Ciliated sensory papillae were concentrated around oral sucker. Several unciliated sensory papillae occurred equidistantly on oral sucker and acetabulum. The ciliated papillae appeared in two longitudinal lines symmetric bilaterally on dorsal surface. On adult flukes, tegumantal spines became wider in middle of the body surface. The cytoplasmic processes differentiated into more fine velvety form. It is likely that the differentiated fine cytoplasmic processes are an increased absorptive surface to adult M. spinulosus. It is suggested that single pointed tegumental spines on anterior half of the body may be supportive for this fluke to migration.

This study was designed to investigate dental arch shapes buccally and lingually at Bracket Level of Koreans. This involved studying 63 inviduals (37 males, 26 females) with normal occlusion ranging in age from 17 to 24 years old. The landmarks were digitized and measurements and statistical analysis were performed by NEC 9801 V-M computer. The Results were as Follows: Bicanine width, Bipremolar width and Bimolar width were larger in males than in females. Buccal and lingual arch form and coordination form were obtained by NEC 9801 V-M computer. The parabolic equations which represents buccal and lingual arch form were obtained.

Gardner's syndrome is a familial disease consisting of gastrointestinal adenomatous polyposis, osteomas of the mandible, skull, and long bones, and a variety of sol tissue lesions, including sebaceous cysts, fibromas, lipomas, and desmoid tumors. The colon is the most common site for polyposis, but the stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and periampullary area may also be involved. The diagnostic evaluation, malignant potential, and management is identical to that for familial adenomatous polyposis. The extracolonic manifestations of Gardner's syndrome are frequent and varied. Gardner's syndrome is inherited as autosomal dominant traits. Authors experienced one case that is a 32 year old female patient who had colonic and duodenal multiple polyposis, desmoid tumor in abdominal wall and right mesocolon and odontoma on mandible.

The goals of treatment of the slipped capital femoral eiphysis(SCFE) are to stabilize the slipped epiphysis, prevent further slipping and induce early closure of the epiphyseal plate. Mutiple pinning was used for the treatment but in recent years, percutaneous in-situ fixation technique with 1 or 2 cannulated screws is preferred due to the advantages of low rate of complication such as pin penetration. We report the results of experimental study and the functional results after percutaneous pinning. The purpose of the experimental study was the investigation for changes of the screw length and the site of screw entry point according to the degree of slipping by bony model. The entry point of the screw was changed toward anterior and proximal portion of femoral neck and the length of inserting screw was changed to be shorter according to the degree of slip. We have treated 10 patients(13 hips) with slipped capital femoral epiphysis(SCFE) at our department since Jan. 1989. Among them, 6 patients(7 hips) could be followed for more than 2 years. There were 5 boys and 1 girl. One case was affected on the both hip. The average age at operation was 11.8 year old. All cases were obese. Degree of slipping was showed 6 cases in mild and 1 case in moderate. The slipping of acute onset was 3 cases, acute-on chronic 3 cases and chronic 1 case. In radiographic results, 6 cases were showing in Grade 0, 1 case was in Grade II. In functional results, 3 cases were excellent, 3 cases in good and 1 case in poor. One poor functional result was a case complicated by chondrolysis.

Kaposi's sarcoma is one of the important features of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, renal transplanted patients, young African men, and elderly Ashkenazi Jews. It is well recognized as the most common malignancy asssociated with AIDS and there is also an increased incidence among patients with iatrogenic immunosuppression secondary to renal transplantation. However, a few cases of Kaposi's sarcoma in immunosuppressed patients not related to the renal trans-plantation had been reported. In this study, we present a case of Kaposi's sarcoma involving the oropharynx and the skin of a patient who was not associated with AIDS nor treated with special immunosuppressive agents for renal transplantation.

PURPOSE: To describe an unusual case of rapidly progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) with vitreous hemorrhage in a 41-year-old woman with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), who had retinitis developed from what was probably varicellar-zoster virus combined with cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex type 1,2, as proven by the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP). METHODS: This study is a case report detailing clinical follow-up and an aqueous humor test by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: The deep, white retinal lesions coalesced and progressively expanded in a circumferential manner, with sparing of the perivascular retina. However, retinal and vitreous hemorrhages, unusual findings for PORN, could be noted around the optic nerve. Varicellar-zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex types 1,2 (HSV-1,2) were detected in the aqueous humor by PCR. CONCLUSIONS: PORN has been described as a variant of necrotizing herpetic retinopathy, occurring particularly in patients with AIDS. Although the etiologic agent has been reported to be VZV, concurrent or combined etiologic agents can include HSV-1, HSV-2, and CMV in AIDS patients. Therefore, combined antiviral therapy with acyclovir and ganciclovir could be more reasonable as an initial therapy.

We report a case of an erythrodermic form of mycosis fungoides in a 68-year-old male, who showed generalized erythroderma with scales for 3 months. Lymphadenopathies in the inguinal and neck areas were present. Histopathological findings showed epidermotropism, perivascular atypical lymphocyte infilteration in the upper dermis, and dermatopathic lymphadenopathy in the inguinal lymph node. T cell markers were positively stained in the immunohistochemical study. These clinicopathological features were consistent with an erythrodermic form of mycosis fungoides(TNM IIl). The patient was treated with PUVA therapy and low dose chemotherapy.
