A clinical study of traumatic amputation by railroad accidents was made an 124 patients with 154 amputee, who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Seoul Hospital, during the 4 years period from January 1976 to December 1979. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The ratio of male to female was 9 to 1. The 3rd decade of age group showed the hightest number of accident causalties, as much as 37.1%. 2. Causalties showes a maximum during the sprlng (37.1%) and a minimum during winter. 3. The most common injured sites of the amputee were B–K in 44 cases among 154 cases of the amputee. 4. Considering the number of the multiple amputee in 26 casee among 124 cases, frequently they developed in 2 sites with 22 cases, 3 sites with 4 cases. 5. The frequent fracture sites with combined amputation were 18 cases of the pelvic bone, 12 cases of femur in amputation of the lower extremity. 6. Our methods of treatment were debridement, debridement and primary skin closure, debridement with open amputation, circular amputation, closed amputation with skin graft, and closed amputation. 7. The major complications were phantom limb in 108 cases (70.1%), infection in 44 cases (28.6%). 8. The most frequent infectious agent was pseudomonas (16 cases).

Two patients with Kienbocks disease were treated with microvascular loop graft to obtain the neovascularization of the avascular lunate. After each follow-up of forty-six months and eleven months, their results were complete relief of pain, definite decrease of sclerotic change in the radiologic finding and restoration of normal range of motion. This procedure is considered as a good method to help for the treatment of the Kienbocks disease.

A case of testicular embryonal carcinoma developed in s cryptorchid testis is presented with a review of the literature. According to Campbell's series, the incidence of malignant cryptorchid testis was 11.6%. and his statistical evaluation was similar to Gilbert and Hamilton's series of 7,000 cases of testicular neoplasms where 840 tumors were developed in undescended testes(12%). Both authors agree that the chance of neoplastic development in a cryptorchid testis is approximately 48 times greater then that developing in a normally descended testis. Several cases of testicular tumor were reported sporadically in Korea, but malignant tumors in cryptorchism were rarely seen in the literatures Only two cases of malignant cryptorchid testis were already reported in Korea.

To investigate the changing patterns of microfilament and microtubule arrangement and influence of myocardial cells and colchicines to microfilament and microtubule formation in cardiac endothelial cells the authors carried out indirect immunofluorescence stain for actin and tubulin with supernatant monoclonal antibodies. Secondary antibodies were IgG FITC conjugate. The results were summarized as follows. Fiberform reactions were stronger in the cells with many processes and spread cytoplasm and they became weaker after the endothelial cells formed monolayer. In the endothelial cells cocultured with myocardial cells the fiberform of the microtubule became less visible compared to control group but fiberform of the microtubule maintained strong intensity as endothelial cells formed monolayer. In the group treated with colchicines, there were no visible differences in microfilaments compared to control group but fiberform of microtubule revealed weaker intensity after colchicines treatment. The intensity of microtubule fiberform returned to control level after 2 days.

Present trial was carried out to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of oxantel/pyrantel tablets against intestinal nematode infections, and to determine the efficacy of oxantel tablels against Trichuris infection. A total of 34 subjects with the mixed infections were treated with oxantel/pyrantel tablets (100 mg/tablet each) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, and another group of 22 Trichuris infected cases received oxantel pamoate tablets (125 mg/tablet) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg. All stool examinations were done before the treatment and 3 weeks after the treatment. The cellophane thick smear (Kato's technique) and Stoll's dilution egg counting method were employed. The results of the trial were summarized as follows: The cure rates (egg negative conversion rates) and egg reduction rates for oxantel/pyrantel tablets were 85.3 percent and 97 percent in trichuriasis, 100 percent each in ascariasis and ancylostomiasis. The oxantel tablet treated group demonstrated a cure rate of 90.9 percent and an egg reduction rate of 96.3 percent in the treatment of Trichuris. There were no detectable objective and subjective side effects in this trial. Both oxantel/pyrantel and oxantel pamoate tablets were readily accepted and well tolerated.

The present study was undertaken to observe the quality and quantity of lipids in the adult worms of Chinese liverfluke, Clonorchis sinensis. Lipid extraction was done by the methods of Folch et a1. (l957) and Kenny (1952), and then the extracted lipid fractions of the worm were separated by thin layer chromatography. Those fractions were also subjected to perform the quantitative analyses of glycerides, cholesterols and phospholipids. The results obtained were summarized as follows: Total amount of glyceride was 37.56 mg per gram of worm tissue and the amount of monoglyceride was 8.34 mg per gm; diglyceride, 15.46 mg per gm; and triglyceride, 12.86 mg per gm. Total amount of cholesterol was 3.30 mg per gm of worm tissue, and the esterified cholesterol (1.72 mg/gm) was a little more than that of free cholesterol (1.26 mg/gm). The following 8 phospholipids were detected in the worm tissue of C. sinensis, i.e., lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylcholine, phophatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown phospholipid.
