The present study was designed to obtain omparative data on in vitro antifungal activities of imidazole derivatives. Minimum inhibitory oncentrations of clotrimazole, miconazole, econazole, ketoconazlole and griseofulvin on 4 strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, 3 strains of Trichophyton rubrum, 2 strains of Microsporum canis and ] strain of Sporothriv: schenckii were etermined after 3 week' incubation at room temperature on Sabouraud's dextrose liquid media. In addition, the fungicidal activities of miconazole and econazole were tested against Z'richophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis, using the techniques described by Vanbreuseghern(1967) The results are summarzed as follows: ] In most of the dermatophytes studied, 1 to 10 pg/ml of M1C were detected. Diverse susceptibility pattern was observed among different fungal species, but no or minor variability was noted within the same species. The susceptibility of Z'ri- chophyton rubrum showed at MIC of 0. 01 to 10 pg/ml, T ichophyton mentagro- phyt.es and Mic osporum canis at 0.1 to 10 pg/ml and 0. 1 to 1000 gg/ml respec- tively. The Trichophyton rubrum was the most sensitive. In the susceptibility test of Sporothrix schenckii, the high resistance to clotrimazole and griseofuhin was observed. The fungistatic activities of miconazole, econazole and ketoconazole were observed only at concentrations higher than JpQ pg/ml.

Ichthyosis hystrix is characterized by extensive bilateral systemic involvement of thick hyperkeratotic verrucous papules forming confluent plaques or linear arrangement and is currently classified into a systematized epidermal nevi, which was once conaidered as an extreme variant of congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Here is presented a case with typical clinical features and characteristic histopathologic findings of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Our patient exhibited no skeletal or CNS abnormalities reported to be associated with this condition. Marked improvement was obtained with oral administration of etretinate.

In order to observe the differences in fixability and stability of the acetabular cup through the differences in cup size in relation to the size of acetabular reaming, we analyzed 75 cases of porous coated acetabular cup of Harris-Galante type which be followed up more that two years. All cases were divided into two group ; the first group (On line fit :45 cases) used with acetabular cup equal in size to the last reaming size and the second group (Press fit : 30 cases) used with acetabular cup 2mm larger than the last reaming size. For initial stability, all cases were fixed with acetabular screws. Both groups were analyzed for presence of gap, change of acetabular inclination, presence of radiolucent line, degree of displacement of vertical distance, stability and clinical results. The results were as follows; 1. The average Harris hip score was improved from 55.8 points preoperatively to 90.2 points postoperatively in the first group, from 56.9 points to 91.2 points in the second group, Clinical results are excellent in 39 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 2 cases in the first group, and excellent in 29 cases and good in 1 case in the second group. 2. The gap between the acetabular cup and acetabulum was found initially at 17 zones in the first group but no gap at final follow up. In the second group, the gap was found at 23 zones and finally remained less that 1 mm gap was found at 3 cases in zone B1. 3. No radiologic instability of acetabular cup by Martell evaluation was noted in both 1st and 2nd group. Our data suggests that initial gap between acetabular cup and acetabulum in microporous coated acetabular cup were replaced with new bone and also, radiologic stability and good clinical results could be obtained in the second group used with acetabular cup 2 mm larger than the last reaming size.

Neurilemoma is benign never-sheath tumor which has been described as painless mass and is usually discovered incidentally. It is the most common tumor of peripheral nerve origin and may arise in any nerve where Schwann cells occur. There are few domestic reports which were clinically evaluated in tens of cases of neurilemoma so far. We evaluated on the 56 cases of neurilemoma confined to the trunk and extremities, in the aspect of clinical characteristics, radiology, pathology, EMG, surgical treatment and postoperative results, who were surgically treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Seoul National University from 1984 to 1994. Among 56 patients, male were 29 and female were 27, and there was no sexual difference. The average age at surgical intervention was 46.4 years (16–83yrs) and 46.4% of patients were in the age of fourties and fifties. The anatomical locations of the tumors were as followed: upper extremities in 22(39%) cases, neck and supraclavicular area in 15(27%) cases, sacrum and lower extremities in 14(25%) cases and trunk in 5(9%) cases. Symptoms were palpable mass in 55 cases, local tenderness in 14, radiating pain in 11, pain in 10, paresthesia in 11, motor weakness in 2 cases. The average follow up period was 19.1 months(13–56 month). Median nerve was involved most frequently(14%), then ulnar nerve(11%). There was no cases which occurred in multiplicity or associated with neurofibromatosis. Marginal excision was done in 51 cases(91%), incisional biopsy only in 4 cases(7%), wide excision in 1 case. The size of the tumors in the longest axis was smaller than 2cm in 9 cases, between 2 and 4cm in 31 cases, between 4 and 6cm in 13 cases and more than 6cm in 3 cases. Malignant change or recurrence was not found in all cases.

Brodie's abscess is a primary subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis that has a thin wall of fibrous tissue and sclerotic bone. The authors have encountered a case of a Brodie's abscess that was developed in the same place of both tibia at the same time and treated the case with surgery and continuous closed irrigation.

We Performed an epidemiologic survey for strabismus among primary school-children in order to investigate the number of strabismus from March 1995 to February 1996. Cover-uncover test and prism cover test were used. The results were as follows:1. Out of 9054 1st grade primary school-children examined, 322(3.56%) were found as strabismus. 2. 322 cases of strabismus include 262(81.4%)exodeviation and 60(18.6%) esodeviation. 3. Alternating type and monocular type strabismus have no difference both in exotropia and esotrapia. 4. In exotropia and esotropia, no sexual predilection was found. 5. Most portion of deviation angle distribute between 11 to 20 prism diopter. 6. The difference of number of strabismus between big cities and small cities was statistically insignificant(p>0.05).

Lymphangiomas are made up of multiple lymphatic channels lined by benign-appearing endothelial cells. The lesions can occur anywhere in the body but most commonly affect head, neck and axilla. It rarely involves the gastrointestinal tract and particularly lymphangioma of the colon is very rare. Histologically, it is classified three types as simple or capillary, cavernous, and cystic. We experienced three cases of cavernous lymphangioma of the ascending colon. Case 1, 56-year-old male, had lymphangioma accompanied by ulcerating cancer of the cecum. Case 2, 51-year-old female, had lymphangioma of cecum. Case 3, 41-year-old male had lymphangioma at ileocecal valve. All cases could be diagnosed by colonoscopic snare polypectomy.
