2.A Histopathological Study on the Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Knee Joint
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1981;16(3):528-538
Twenty cases of the rheumatoid arthritis was carried out the histopathological observation from the affected synovial membrane at the knee joint by the Cops biopsy needle, at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chosun University Hospital. The authors researched the difference to compare with the histological finding and its clinical features. The following results were obtained. 1. The average age was 36.9 years old and the sex ratio between the male and female was 1:2.7. 2. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and protein amont in the synovial fluid was elevated than the normal value. 3. The most common clinical sign was the morning stiffness with multiple joint pain and moderate swelling, tenderess in the involved joint. 4. The test of rheumatoid factors revealed positive about 70% in the serum and 100% in the joint fluid. 5. The characteristic histological finding on the light microscopical examination was the hyperplasia of surface lining cells, deposition of the fibrin with the fibrinoid necrosis, and vascular hypertrophic changes of the blood vessel in all of those cases. 6. The histological finding had no difference to compare with the clinical course.

Many factors exert an influence on enzyme activity and thus on the rate of reactions that they catalyse. The most important of these factors are pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and the concentration of some inhibitors present. A solution of the enzyme diastase, which breaks down molecules of the polysaccharide starch to the disaccharide maltose by hydrolysis, was provided. Activity of these enzyme was measured by the rate at which starch was removed from the reaction mixture. These experiments were designed to study this reaction rate under varying conditions and the following results were obtained. 1. The range of optimum pH for this enzyme at room temperature was 4.0-7.0 and the optimum pH was 5.0. 2. The range of optimum temperatures for this enzyme at pH 7.0 was 30-50 degrees C and the optimum temperature was 40 degrees C. 3. The relationship between the enzyme activity and substrate concentration could be expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equation. The limiting velocity of these enzyme at room temperature and pH 7.0 was 415 microgram starch removed/ml of reaction mixture/min and Km, Michaelis constant, was 343 microgram/ml. 4. Inhibitors NaCl and HgCl2 blocked this enzyme activity completely at 1% and 0.01% respectively.

Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes may play an important role in many human cancers including breast. This study was done to determine the relationship between the expression of p53 and Rb protein and prognostic factors such as histopathologic differentiation, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis. In 57 cases of breast invasive ductal carcinomas, the immunohistochemical staining with p53 and Rb protein gave the following results: p53 protein was detected in 45.6% (26/57) of cases. Tumors with large size, poor differentiation or lymph node metastases tended to show increased expression of p53 protein. However, p53 protein expression did not show any significant correlation with prognostic factors such as tumor size (p value 0.25), histologic grade (p value 0.75), and positive lymph node status (p value 0.26). Rb protein was detected in 57.9% (33/57) of cases. Rb protein also did not show any significant correlation with prognostic factors such as tumor size (p value 0.56), histologic grade (p value 0.71), and positive lymph node status (p value 0.98). There was no significant correlation between p53 expression and Rb protein expression (p value 0.80).

Two hundred and eighty six cases of the fracture of the tibial shaft treated at Orthopedic Department of the Chosun University Hospital during the period from January 1974 to December, 1978. The following results were obtained. 1. Most common cases of the tibial shaft fractures were traffic accidents (66.1%). 2. The incidence of trauma was high in the young man, most frequent in the 2nd and 3rd decade (43.0%). 3. The evaluation was done according to the classification of Ellis. Among 286 cases of the fractures of tibial shaft, 139 being mild severity, 70 moderate severity and 77 major severity. 4. The group of mild severity at the fracture of upper 1/3 of tibial shaft was shown the best prognosis and the average healing period was 9.3 weeks. 5. The wound infections in the open fractures of tibial shaft were revealed 37 cases (35%) and 8 cases of chronic osteomyelitis (8%). 6. Of 54 cases, we experienced 38 cases of delayed union (13.3%), 16 cases of non-union (5.6%) and the highest rate of delayed or non-union was shown in the group of major severity at the fracture of lower 1/3 of tibiai shaft. 7. The open reduction by the compression plating reduced the time of healing period and delayed the time of healing period by the intramedullary nailing.

Degenerative arthritis of the knee joint is one of the main causes of disability in middle-aged persons. This paper is planned by the necessity of objective information upon changes of tibio-femoral angle according to weight bearing in patients with degenerative arthritis of the knee joint. The authors studied the tibio-femoral angle in 29 cases of degenerative arthritis of the knee ranging fmm 5th to 6th decades of age, and compared with 27 cases of the control group, in the Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, S.N.U.H. fmm Mar. 1983 to May 1984. The following observations were obtained: 1. In patients with degenerative arthritis of the knee, changes of the tibio-femoral angle according to weight bearing were +2.2±1.94 in 5th decade, +2.3±2.02 in 6th decade. 2. Compared to control group, the degenerative arthritis group showed a significant varization with weight bearing. 3. It was seemed that the weight bearing radiography is essential in diagnosis and treatment of degenerative arthritis of the knee joint.
