Slipped femoral capital epiphysis is the condition in which the femoral head begins to slip gradually off the femoral neck. After first discription of Ambrose Pare(1572), the world literature has presented many cases, usually more than one hundred in each clinic. Its incidence in Korea, however, is extremely rare and particularly it is difficult to find out the report of typical case. The author reports here a typical case of billateral slipped femoral capital epiphysis in a 17 year old boy with symptom duration of 2 years on right side and 6 months on left side. Physical examination showed his body stature to be normal and his genital organs to have no abnormalities. However, both hips revealed severe pain and limited range of motion, especially in internal rotation and abduction, which restricted his normal gait. Operative reduction of epiphysio-cervical distorsion was successful in the left hip. After skeletal traction of the left hip, an anatomical repositioning by intraarticular wedge rection osteotomy was maintained by 3 Knowles pins. 3 months postoperatively he resumed partial weight bearing on his left hip with little pain and improved range of motion. Further restoration of function can reasonably be expected.

2.Tc99m-sulfur colloid scan finding of liver and spleen tuberculosis (8 case reports with review of theliterature)
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1983;19(1):271-280
Primary hepatic tuberculosis is extremely rare, but liver and spleen involvement secondary to tuberculosis isfrequentand of clinical importance, because of its demonstrability by biopsy. Complete absence of Tc-99m-SulfurColloid uptake of spleen due to splenic tubeculosis has not been reported. We experienced one case of liver andspleen tuberculosis which revealed complete absence of Tc-99m

4.A Case of Non - lymphatic Spotptirchosis in Baby aged 1 Month.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1978;16(2):167-171
Non-lymphatic sporotrichosis is more difficult in diagnosis, lower in incidence and more variable in clinical picture than the classical lymphatic one. A case of non-lymphatic type affecting a female baby aged 2 months is presented, The patient has been suffering from the shallow ulcerated, crusted impetiginous lesian on the cheek area just below the right eye. The lesion has developed progreasively since about 1 month after birth. Clinically, its diagnosis was not easy, but was confirmed by culture on Sabouraud's media. It is thought that the age of initial onset in this case we experienced, is the lowest in recorded Korean literature.

5.Clinical and Micological Studies on Microsporum Canis Infections.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1977;15(1):7-16
Microsporurn canis was fjrst reportaR m Korea in 1957, but no animal contacts were reported and since then, only sporadic occurrences of M. canis have reported. However, cat and human infections from M. canis have gradually become rnore prevalent lately. Recently author reported 3 cases of T. capitis, 2 cases of Kerion Celsi, 13 cascs of T. e,orporis in human and 4 cases of infected kittens, with M. canis isolated as the causative organisrn. Clinical and mycological observations of both patients and kittens were reported as follows: The infections with M. canis were exclusively reported in kittens, not in adult cats. Two of the infected kittens showed obvious signs of undernourishment, physical retardation and prostration. Infectivity among cats or kittens was very low while cat to human infectivity was very high. The human T. capitis exhibited. round, erythematous lesions with complete 1oss of hair, very similar to lesions of alopecia areata, These lesions were uniformly smaller than a walnut in size. The T. corporis exhibited typical, moderately inflamed ringshaped, singular or multiple lesions. The incubation period was estirnated at approximately 3-7 days. In humans, ectothrix growth was reported while the opposite endothrix growth was observed in the kitten and rabbit. Experimental animal inoculations were performed: Rabbit inocuIated with M. can- is resulted in typical ringshaped Iesions appearing 10 days after inoculation. T4ese lesians were cornpletely gone in 4 weeks but infected hairs still remained. Guinea pig inoculation resultel in non-typical lesions covered with serosanguinous crusts, but rat inoculztion showed no signs of infectivity.

6.Clinical Survey on Urologic Complications Developed after Treatments of Obstetric & Gynecologic Diseases (1972 - 1984).
Korean Journal of Urology 1984;25(5):623-629
We reviewed 28 patients admitted due to urologic complications after obstetric & gynecologic operation and management since May 1972. The age distribution, developed urologic complications and it`s treatment are discussed. The prevalent age groups of urologic complications were 30`s and 40`s. The most common urologic complication was urinary fistula : 8 ureterovaginal, 8 vesicovaginal and 4 other fistulas. The results after 1st operation of urinary fistula showed an over-all success rate of 72.6%.

7.Perfect State of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Their Related Infections.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1984;22(6):610-618
A mating study was performed by crossing 333 isolates of Trichophyton mentugrophytes with+and tester strains of Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii, A. benhamiae and A. simit from January 1980 to December 1983 Three hundred and thiirteen were compatible with A. vanbreuseghemri consisting of 167 of+type and 146 of type and twenty were indeterminate. The cleistothecia formed by crossing the isolates with tester strains of A. vanbreaseghemii were fewer in number and smaller in size than those of tester strains. The sexual dogeneration was observed in all of the isolates compared with tester strains. The colonial morphological features of the isolates of T. mentagrophytes were observed as 24p isolates of the granulosum-asteroides form, 66 of the powdery form and 7 of the downy form on 1/10 Sabouraud agar with salts in culture. The mat- ing type showed the higher type in the granulosumasteroides forrn and + type in the powdery and downy forms. The + type increased from 1981 to 1983, and the type showed a marked increase in 1983. The + type was predominant in tinea pedis et unguim and tinea cruris, and type in tinea faciale and tinea manuurn. The + type showed nearly equal incidence in the spring, winter and summer, and the lowest in the autumn, compared to the highest in the winter and the lowest in the summer in the type.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis itself causes not only lung parenchymal destruction but also pulmonary vascular damage. Secondary emphysema also causes pulmonary vascular damage, which can develop as a late sequela of pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, pulmonary circulatory impairment tends to be more severe in post-tuberculosis emphysema than in primary emphysema. In post-tuberculosis emphysema, the right ventricular function may play an important role. However, little information regarding the right ventricular function is available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the right ventricular function between post-tuberculosis emphysema and primary emphysema. METHOD: Post-tuberculosis emphysema(PTE) or primary emphysema(PE) was diagnosed by history, HRCT finding and pulmonary function. Twenty patients with post-tuberculosis emphysema were matched with 20 patients with primary emphysema according to both FEV1 and FVC. Arterial blood gas analysis and echocardiography were done at rest and immediately after symptom-limited exercise. The right ventricular function was evaluated with the right ventricular ejection fraction using a modification of Simpson's method. RESULTS: There was no significant difference inthe demographics and pulmonary function between the two groups. In post-tuberculosis emphysema, the PaCO2 was higher (42.9±4.7 vs 38.8±3.1 mmHg at rest ; 47.9±7.0 vs 41.1±5.9 mmHg after exercise ; p<0.01) and the right ventricular ejection fraction was lower (57.6±6.5 vs 61.4±4.7 % at rest ; 51.1±10.8 vs 59.8±6.6 % after exercise ; p<0.01) both at rest and after exercise. The PaO2 after exercise was also lower (65.7±12.6 vs 80.2%±14.4 mmHg, p<0.01), while the PaO2 at rest tended to be lower(82.9±12.0 vs 87.8±7.5, p>0.05). In both groups, right ventricular ejection fraction correlated with the PaO2 after exercise(PTE r=0.536, PE r=0.557), and the PaCO2 at rest(PTE r=-0.576, PE r=-0.588) and after exercise(PTE r=-0.764, PE r=-0.619). CONCLUSION: Impairment of the right heart function and gas exchange were more serious in post-tuberculosis emphysema than in primary emphysema, and gas exchange may be influenced by the right ventricular function in post-tuberculosis emphysema.
