1.Clinical Observation of Simple Localized, Esophageal Ulcer.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1983;3(1):1-9
Incidence of simple localized esophageal ulcer has been infrequent, but recently, clinical report of the disease has increased with remarkable improvement of diagnostic instrument and handling of endoscopy. Nine patients of simple localized esophageal ulcer with abrupt onset of symptoms and rapidhealing process were clinically studied and observed with the other literatures on the basis af age, sex, site, symptoms, causes, endoscopic findings, microscopic findings, and healing pracess. The results were followed. 1) The eiophageal ulcer revealed variable size and shape and generally localized middle third of esophagus. 2) History of therapeutic drug medication auch as capaule or/and tablet was noted mostly. 3) The symptoms were disappeared with general measures and ulcer lesions were comyletely healed without scar or stricture rapidly.

2.A Clinical Study of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Orthopedic Surgery
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(2):250-258
The soft tissue sarcoma ih the Orthopedic surgery is not common, occuring in less than one percent of all malignant tumors. Whille the sarcoma is comparatively highly malignant, its treatment has been varied, and the effect of the each treatment has been controversial and generally poor on statisties. We studied 58 cases of soft tissue sarcoma in the Orthopedic department of Pusan Gospei Hospital in the 6 years period from March, 1975 to March, 1981. We confirmed the sarcoma diagnosis by biopsy, and measured the size, the degree of local infilteration and occurrence of metastasis with the help of plain X-ray, angiography, lung and bone scan, and computerized tomograms. We made treatment plans according to above results. We classified the soft tissue sarcoma into 8 histologic types and obtained following conclusions: l. Among the 58 cases of soft tissue sarcoma, and majority is consisted of fibrosarcoma, liposarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. 2. There were 41 cases occurred in the lower extremity and 17 cases in the upper extremity. Thus soft tissue sarcoma are more frequent in the lower extremity, especially in thigh (2 patients). 3. We found 19 cases between the age of 41 to 50 years. In general, the soft tissue sarcoma are more frequent between the age of 31 to 50 years. 4. Among the 58 cases, 10 patient came to our hospital because of recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma, after receiving local excision in other hospitals. In other words 17 percent of our cases showed recurred sarcoma and duration of recurrence was within 16 months. 5. Metastasis of the soft tissue sarcoma had taken place in 17 patients (29%), most frequently metastasis to the lung in 12 cases (70%). 6. We treated 30 cases by chemotherapy and radiotherapy after excision or amputation. In 15 sarcomas that could not be excised, but the medical treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 7. The follow-up study revealed better result obtained in the group of aggresive treatment with anticancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy after excision or amputation.

This study was performed to evaluate the clinical significance of SCC as a tumor marker in patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. We measured the serum levels of SCC by radioimmunoassay in patient with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of cervix to determine the prognostic value, correlation with the presence of lymph node metastasis, response to treatment, and those value in the early detection of recurrence after treatment. The result was: 1) In 117 of 174 patients with cervical cancer, the pretreatment positive rate of SCC was 47.0%(57/117). In each stage, the stage Ia was 25.0%, Ib 26.3%, IIa 56.0%, 62.6%, III 57.1%, IV 100%, and the recurrent case was 37.5%. 2) In 79 of 174 patients with cervical cancer, the pretreatment positive rate of SCC was 44,0%(30/69) in no evidence of malignancy patients, but 60.0%(6/10) in recurrent or permanent patients(p>0.05), 3) In 133 of 174 patients with cervical cancer, the posttreatment positive rate of SCC was 2.6%(3/117) in no evidence of malignancy patients, but 50.0%(8/16) in recurrent or permanent patients(p<0.05). 4) In 48 patients of 174 with cervical cancer who underwent radical hystrectomy, the positive rate of SCC was 71.4%(5/7) in pelvic lymph node positive patients but 19,5%(8/41) in pelvic lymph node negative patients(p<0.05). We concluded that the pretreatment SCC level was not effective as a prognostic value, but well correlated with pelvic lymph node metastasis, and serial measurements of serum levels of SCC provided a reliable clue for early detection of recurrence or progression of disease, so it may be useful for monitoring cervical carcinoma patient.

This case was an acquired aplastic anemia patient who required a major operation for excision of a mediastinal mass. The authors previewed that the coagulation abnormalities would be developed due to major operation. Thus we decided to monitoring the coagulation function using the thromboelastography during the perioperative period and checked the complete blood count, concommitantly. The total blood volume lost during operation was 1800 ml, so we gave him a transfusion of 10 U's of platelet concentrate, 10 U's of pheretic platelet rich plasma and 5 U's of whole blood. The thromboelastography was a good guide that helped us to avoid excessive treatment of the coagulation abnormalities. We concluded that the thromboelastograhy was a reliable and effective monitoring system at the intraoperative coagulation management.

Authors experienced a 59-year-old male patient with the lymphoma of the small iritestine which involved the adjoining mesenteric lymph nodes, the parietaI pleura, and the skin. The skin lesions, simulating necrotizing angiitis, were deep purple colored, asymptomatic, tense, hemorrhagic bullae with soft consistency on the both thighs and left infraorbital area. He had extranodal type, and diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma by the Rappaport classification, and stage IV by the Ann Arbor staging classification. After about 50 days of clinical manifestations, he was died mainly due to massive intestinal bleeding.

Winging of the scapula is characterized clinically by a prominence of the vertebral border and inferior angle of the scapula. Trauma, neuritis, neural injury during surgical procedure and many other causes may develop winging of scapula. When pain and functional impairment persist, surgical intervention may become appropriate. We report two cases of winged scapula. One case was serratus anterior palsy due to blunt trauma, which was treated by transfer of teres major and pectoralis minor elongated with a tensor fascia strip. Another case was trapezius muscle palsy due to iatrogenic spinal accessary nerve injury, which was treated by transfer of the levator scapulae, rhomboid major and rhomboid minor muscle. In the former case, there was no weakness nor deformity of affected shoulder. In the later case, there was some residual pain and limitation of motion.
