Forty-five patients with primary neoplasm of the spine, disgnosed and operated at Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, from 1970 to 1988, were reviewed in an attempt to analyze the incidence of the primary spine tumors and effectiveness of surgical treatment. Mean follow-up was 2.5 years. Among 29 benign tumors, 7 cases of osteoid osteoma, 6 cases of giant cell tumor, 4 cases of osteoblastoma and aneurysmal bone cyst, and 2 cases of fibrous dysplasia and osteochondroma, and others were identified. Of 16 malignant tumors, 6 cases of eosinophilic granuloms, 4 cases of chordoma, 3 cases of solitary plasmacytoms, and others were noted. 17 cases occurred in the anterior compartment, 18 cases in the posterior compartment, and 10 cases involved both compartments. Surgical treatment consisted of complete or near complete excision, decompression, and additional stabilization procedure when the stability of the vertebral column was compromised. Stablization was achieved either by fusion, strut bone graft, or by additional Zielke, Cotrel-Dubousset, or Luque-Harringtion instrumentation. The results were astisfactory in most of the cases with benign tumors except cases of giant cell tumor. The results in malignant tumor were satisfactory especially in eosinophilic granuloma and solitary plasmacytoma with respects to symptoms and survival, and this fact was attaibuted to good response to adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Recent application of Cotrol-Dubousset or Zielke instrumentation after agressive resection made early ambulation a clinical reality.

This is a retrospective clinical and roentgenographic study to measure the correction of deformity and rigidity of Harrington SSI in the stabilization of unstable thoracic and lumbar spine fractures. 35 patients with unstable thoracic and lumbar spine fracture were treated with Harrington SSI from Feb. 1985 to Mar. 1987 in SNUH and 29 patients were followed up for more than 1 year, average 15.6 months. At final follow up of these 29 patients, 73.1% of patients gained neurologic improvement. Measurement of correction of anterior, middle and posterior column height, local kyphosis and anteroposterior offset were 29.7%, 5.2%, 31.2%, 12.8°and 5.3mm and loss of correction of these were 6.5%, 0.1%, 5.8%, 3.1°and 1.1 mm.

Depression is one of most frequent psychiatric disorders in the elderly. Major depression has higher prevalence in the elderly compared with younger subjects. Depression in the elderly is a major health concern that can be life threatening, if not recognized and not treated. An untreated depression may result in needless suffering, institutionalization, and suicide. Inadequated treatment may occur because the signs and symptoms of depression in the elderly are different from those in the young, and because the depressive symptoms may be viewed by the physician as a normal part of aging. The purpose of this study is to evaluate depressive factors in the Korean elderly. Four hundred and sixty eight Koreans were evaluated for depressive factors in 60 years old or more. The author performed a clinical evaluation guide, an intensive questionnaire, and Mini-Mental Status Examination-Korean version (MMSE-K). Stastically ANOVA, Scheffe, Duncan and Chi-square methods were used to find out depressive factors in the Korean elderly. Depression, dissatisfaction, suicidal idea and distress factors were evaluated in the Korean elderly depressed persons. Depressive factors were associated with physical health problems, family problems, psychiatric health problems, loneliness, economic problems, interpersonal conflicts, and occupational problems. Among these depressive factors, physical health problems were most frequently dominant in the elderly. Physical health problems are closely related to depression in the elderly. Depressive syndromes in the elderly are frequently combined with somatic complaints. And depression may be masked by multiple somatic complaints or by pain, for which no organic cause can be found. However, the etiology and mechanism of the association between physical illness and depression are unkown. Such factors as described above may be important in reducing the high prevalence of depression in elderly people.

The double eyelid operation is one of the most common cosmetic surgery performed in orientals, and there are numerous studies about surgical procedures of that. In the case of appropriate candidates, the non-incision technique makes excellent cosmetic results, with the advantages of shorter operating time, less morbidity, less pain, no scarring and easy revision of shape. But, usually the non-incision technique is recommended in the cases with thin upper eyelid, small amount of orbital fat, less redundant skin of upper eyelid and in whom a wide fold is not desired so on. Therefore, the disadvantages of this method are that it cannot be applied to all patients. The postoperative complications are disappearance or faded fold, formation of cyst or lumps, asymmetry etc. and the incidence of these complications is slightly higher than those of the incisional method. In this study, the double eyelid operation using the continuous buried suture method was performed in 210 patients for formation of double eyelid from Jan. 1993 to Dec. 1995. In conclusion very good results can be obtained by the continuous buried suture method even in the cases of puffy upper eyelid. This method can make a double eyelid shape in the fashion the patient wants and can be a new indication for correction of unilateral double eyelid. This method is safe, satisfactory and take shorter postoperative recovery time and it can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
