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.

The clinical resemblance of carcinoma of the Meibomian gland to the relatively frequent chaiazion should be kept in mind by anyone performing eye lid surgery. A 46-year-oId Korean house wife was first visited here in May 2nd '69 with complaints of localized swelling, ulceration and dull pain on the left upper lid. She had been taken the operation for chaiazion on the same side of the left upper eye lid a year ago. Examination revealed a reddened hard, tender lesion elevating the skin on the medial one third of the left upper lid with ulceration at its center. The tarsal conjunctiva was noted yellowish patches with ulceraion extended to its margin. Local resection with full thickness containing normal tissue around he lesion of upper lid was performed and graft was made in lower lid and rotatory transplantation was given, and pathologic examination revealed adeno-carcinoma of Meibimian gland. There was no evidence of recurrence and metastasis to remote site a year after surgery.

Clinical observations of 11 cases of acute pyogenic osteomyelitls and 14 cases of acute pyogenic arthritis in infancy during past 11 years were carried out and following results obtained. 1. The highest age incidence was less than 3 months after birth (70.6%). 2. Average duration of symptoms was 7.8 days. 3. The most important underlying cause was multiple femorai vessel puncture (23.5%). 4. The chief symptom or sign on admission was pseudoparalysis or limitation of motion (82.4%), and local swelling (82.4%). But high fever on admission was present in only 29.4% of cases. 5. The femur was the most common site in acute pyogenic osteomyelitis (36.4%), and the hip joint in acute pyogenic arthritis (42.9%). 6. Leucocyte count was Increased more than 20,000/mm in 60.0% of the cases. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was increased more than 21 mm/hr in 72.0% of cases. The positive result on bacteriologic culture was 76.0%. Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus was cultured in 4 cases of acute pyogenic osteomyelitis and 5 cases of acute pyogenic arthritls. a-hemolytic Streptococcus was cultured in 2 cases of acute pyogenic osteomyelitls and 1 case of acute pyogenic arthritis. Hemophilus influenzae was cultured in 1 case of acute pyogenic osteomyelitls and 2 cases of acute pyogenic arthritis. 7. 45.5% of acute pyogenic osteomyelitis was combined with acute pyogenic arthritis. 8. The longer the duration of symptoms was, the longer the abnormal hematologic picture lasted. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was the most accurate index of activity in acute infection of bone and joint. 9. Shortening or deformity due to epiphyseal plate damage occured in 1 case of acute pyogenlc osteo-myelitis, and 3 cases of acute pyogenic arthritis. Those complications could be minimized wlth early diagnosis and treatment.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HIFRS), scrub typhus, murine typhus and leptospirosis have been the principal acute febrile diseases in Korea. To evaluate the seroepidemiologic patterns of acute febrile illness, sera collected from 2,423 patients in 1996 were examined for antibodies against Hantaan virus, Orientia tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi, and Borrelia burgdorferi by indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique (IFA) and macroscopic agglutination test for Leptospira interogans. Seropositive cases against O. tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi, Leptispira interogans and Hantaan virus were 192 (7.9%), 193 (8.0%), 12 (0.5%) and 324 (13.4%), respectively. Male was more affected in HFRS and murine typhus contrasting to scrub typhus and leptospirosis in female. Most positive cases occurred during October and November for scrub typhus, and during November and December for HFRS. These results showed similar patterns with previous epidemical data for recent couple of years, and possibly implied no significant changes occurred in ecologic situations for acute febrile diseases in Korea.

Duodenal varix is a rare site of hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension, but its rupture is a serious and often fatal event. They can be diagnosed by means of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, selective superior mesenteric artery angiography, slenoportogram. Especially, upper gastroduodenal endoscopy is the diagnostic procedure of choice in diagnosing duodenal varices. Treatment modalities for bleeding duodenal varices are sclerotherapy, varix ligation, portocaval shunt, and duodenal resection. Endoscopic sclerotherapy has limited success in controlling active duodenal varix. Endoscopic ligation with a detachable snare is a useful therapeutic measure in the treatment of bleeding duodenal varices. Wc report a patient with bleeding duodenal varix, successfully treated by means of endoscopic ligation with a detachable snare. The endoscopic examination showed spurting bleeding from dilated vessel at the third portion of the duodenum. We successfully controlled the bleeding duodenal varix by means of endoscopic ligation with a detachable snare.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Traditionally, down beat nystagmus is regarded as a sign of central nervous system dysfunction. But, several years has passed since Herdman et al reported the down beat nystagmus developed during treatment maneuvers for posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV). We undertook this study to evaluate the character and clinical analysis of the positional or positioning down beat nystagmus, to discuss the clinical significance of positional or positioning down beat nystagmus as a diagnostic criteria of superior semicircular canal BPPV, and to propose the new treatment method. MATERIALS AND METHOD:From November 1999 to March 2004, we sampled the 103 patients with positional or positioning down beat nystagmus. Of these patients, we selected 16 patients except for the patients with central nervous system dysfunction, nonspecific or artifact result, idiopathic origin. RESULTS:All of 16 patients had no sign and radiologic result of central nervous system disorder. 10 patients was reported or suspected the diagnosis of posterior semicircular canal BPPV. Fatigability was reported in 9 patients and reversibility was reported in 1 patient. Average latency was checked less than 2 seconds. CONCLUSION:Although the diagnostic criteria of superior semicircular canal BPPV that we reported was not controversial, we expect that this criteria is useful in diagnosis for patients with atypical positional or positioning down beat nystagmus. And the new treatment method that we reported will has the better results than previous method.

Chondrodysplasia punctata is a rare congenital disorder of bone, occuring in infants, which is characterized by radiographic manifestation of premature deposition of punctate calcific densitiy in epiphyseal areas, preformed in cartilage. We experienced a case of rhizomelic type-chondrodysplsia punctata in a two day old female who showed short stature, symmetric shortening of proximal limbs, cataract, icthyositic skin lesion and characteristic coronal clefts in lumbar vertebral bodies on X-ray.
