In this study, analysis was made upon 60 rapes that had been referred to Forensic Mental Hospital for forensic evaluation during three years between 1. January. 1995 and 31. December.1997 (1) In sex offender's age, 30-39 years old were the most, 48.3% and, in victim's age, 10-19 years old were the most, 36.7%, and 50% of sex offenders were unemployed, and 30% were high school graduates and 68.3% were single. (2) 48.3% of offenders had no history of inpatient hospitalization. In case of inpatient hospitalization, inpatient duration of between 6 months and 1 year was the most, 16.7%. 43.3% of sex offenders had history of previous offenses and 53.4% had no history of previous offenses. Thirty percent of sex offenders were found out as victim's neighbor, and 28.3% were stranger to victims. (3) In offense time, 12:00-18:00 was the most, 36.7% and in offense season, spring was the most, 36.7% and 35% occurred at victim's residence. (4) 98.3% of sex offenses were done by one offender and 96.7% of victims were raped alone. 36.7% of victims were students. (5) 56.7% of sex offenses were rapes only, but 31.7% of sexual offenses were accompanied with violence and injury. 21.7% of sex offenders were diagnosed in alcohol-related disorders, and forensic evaluations showed that 58.3% of sex offenders were feeble-minded.

One hundred twenty-one patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head in adults, who were admitted in Department of Orthopadic Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital between January of 1972 and June of 1986 are investigated in terms of the history, clinical data, radiographic findings and laboratory examinations. And, the following results were obtained. 1. The highest incidence was in the 5th decade and the sex ratio between male and female was 5: l. 2. 62 cases(51.2%) had the bilateral hip involvement, and higher incidence of bilateral hip involvement in steroid or alcohol induced cases. 3. Etiological factors were unknown(38 cases, 31.4%), steroid (31 cases, 25.6%), alcohol (22 cases, 18.2%), femur neck fracture (15 cases, 12.4%), trauma (13 cases, 10.7%) and caissons disease (2 cases). 4. Underlying diseases in steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head were dermopathy (8 cases), pain over other joints (7 cases), head trauma (5 cases), nephropathy (4 cases), etc. 5. The time intervals between etiological events and appearance of clinical symptoms were 1 year and 7 months in steroid-induced cases, 1 year and 9 months in femur neck fracture cases, 1 year and 1 month in trauma-induced cases, 1 year and 5 months in caissons disease. 6. The duration of morbidity was 21 months on average. 7. At first hospital visit, the Ficat stage of femoral head avascular necrosis were stage II in 12 cases (10%), transition stage in 17 cases (14%), stage III in 34 cases (29%) and stage IV in 56 cases (47%). 8. Bone scanning was performed in 59 hips of 42 cases. Cold spot was observed in 17 hips and hot spot in 36 hips. There were false negative findings in 4 hips in spite of ischemic findings of femoral head on simple x-ray. 9. Bone marrow pressure was higher than 30mmHg and was increased 10mmHg more than initial pressure by stress test. 10. On intramedullary venography, diaphyseal reflux of contrast medium and diaphyseal stasis more than 15 minutes in 7 of 9 cases over stage II.

Steam autoclaving and ethylene gas sterilization method have been used for arthroscopes,but recently cold sterilization method using 2% glutaraldehyde solution was recommended.Although this method is economic, quick and excellent method, there has been a growing awareness of the minor complication associated with arthroscopy, particulsrily effusion and wound healing. So, we attemped to evaluate the effect of activated glutaraldehyde solution in knee arthroscopy. We have done so as follows : 1. Observed the intra-articular response (grossly, light and electron microscopically) of rabbit knees, three weeks after a single injection of glutaraldehyde at concentration of 0 to 1000 ppm. 2. Measured the glutaraldehyde concentration in the rinse solution using a sensitive spectrophotometric technique. 3. Measured the glutaraldehyde concentration in the intraoperative joint irrigation solution as same as above technique. The results were as follows : 1. Grossly, diffuse synovitis was observed with dose of 100 ppm or greater, and the degree of inflammation was proportional to the glutaraldehyde concentration. We have observed microscopic evidence of a few leukocyte infiltration and vascular congestion in the synovium of rabbit knees, injected with 5 ppm glutaraldehyde. At concentration of 50ppm, vascular hemorrhage and synovial edema, at 500ppm, focal synovial necrosis and fibrosis were observed. At 1000ppm, chondrolysis was observed. Electron microscopically we have observed synovial cells proliferation, especially type B cells and interstitial edematous changes, injected with 5-10 ppm glutaraldehyde. At concentration 50 ppm, synovial cells are decreased in number and marked vacuolization changes, at 100 ppm, synovial cells are denuded on the surface. 2. The concentration of glutaraldehyde present in the rinse basin was 16–30 ppm by thefirst rinsing procedure, if the same rinse solution was used for subsequent cases, the lutaraldehyde concentration was 117–149 ppm by the sixth rinsing procedure. 3. The concentration of glutaraldehyde present in the intraoperative joint irrigation solution was less than 1 ppm.
