The "baboon sydrome" is the term used to denote a characteristic distribution pattern of systemic allergic contact dermatitis. Such skin manifestation is described as mercury exanthem in Japan. Until now, mercury, ampicillin, nickel is reported to produce this condition. We report herein 3 cases of the baboon syndrome. Among 3 cases, 2 cases were associated with mercury, but in the other we could not demonstrate the allergen.

There are a lot of elements affecting the success of implant prosthesis. The quality of surgical procedure is considered as one of the key factors. To avoid the excess heat generation is an important element of successful osseointegration and it can be achieved by using a gentle surgical technique with a sharp instrument in bone drilling. This study was performed to measure and analyze comparatively the heat transmitted to surrounding bone at a distance of 0.5mm from the periphery of the drill hole in each drilling stage. The results were as follows. In standard system, the temperature of surrounding bone tissue ranged from 29.2degrees Cto 48.3degrees C with irrigation and from 34.6degrees C to 84.3degrees C without irrigation. And in wide system, the temperature of surrounding bone tissue ranged from 29.5degrees C to 52.5degrees C with irrigation and from 34.8degrees C to 87.8degrees C without irrigation. And the temperature ranges exceeded the threshold without irrigation, while showing less than the threshold by the cooling effect of irrigation. In comparing standard system with wide system, although there was no significant difference, 4.3mm pilot and 4.3mm twist drill of wide system showed high value and wide system showed slightly high elevation of temperature in all depth in fixture installation In the finite element analysis, the calculated value by the Fourier's cooling law were applied to the bone drilling surface. And through analysis using different irrigation temperatures at 28degrees C, 15degrees C and 5degrees C, and according to the time. The result was that the cooling water at least below 15degrees C was required to maintain the temperature of surrounding bone less than threshold in bone drilling, the cooling water below 5degrees C was required to gain more sufficient cooling effect, and cooling over 5 seconds was needed after bone drilling for sufficient effect.

We have experienced 29 cases of microvascular surgery during a year since Apr. 1981. We performed 18 cases of composite tissue transfer in 17 patients. 3 cases of axillary flap, 5 cases of dorsalis pedis flap, 4 cases of living fibula transplantation, 2 cases of groin flap using deep circumflex iliac vessels, a case of osseocutaneous flap using the 11th rib, living M-P joint from the 2nd toe to finger, neurovascular island flap from the lateral side of the 3rd finger, and a case of musculocutaneous flap using the gracilis muscle were done. The causes of the soft tissues and/or bone loss were open fracture, which is the most common cause, osteomyelitis, congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, bone tumor, and scar contractures, etc. The success rate of the composite tissue transfer was 89%. The 2 cases of failure were observed. The one is due to the vascular damage after the leg lengthening in congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia and the other due to the infection on the grafted area. The follow up period was from 4 to 18 months. The patients except failed 2 cases were pleased the result of the surgery. The composite tissue transfer using microvascular surgery has many advantages in that the tissue defect can be filled by one stage operation, the patient would be less dependent wish shorter hospital stay, the patient would be less morbid with better function than the patient with multi-staged complex operations. The composite bone and soft tissue transfer used for the infected bony defect made the infection heal more rapidly than the other conventional methods. The deep circumflex iliac artery played a good role in making the osseocutaneous flap, which has many advantages such that Taylor had described. But it is not the truth for the skin only problem. So we darely suggest the third category of the arterial supply to the skin as osseocutaneous artery to supply the overlying skin through the bone, which is exampled with the deep circumflex iliac artery. The vessels in the area of a limb lengthening would be stretched and severely damaged. And the overstretched vessels in limb lengthening should not be used in the microvascular surgery, if the time interval from the traction is not plentifully elapsed and the vessel status is not converted to normal.

Even though various kinds of diagnostic and therapeutic measures have been used for the detection and cure of the acute osteomyelitis, this disease is difficult to be eradicated in many clinical cases. However it is rather easy to treat once this disease can be detected in early stage. So far radiological examination and many kinds of maneuvers including blood culture, clinical laboratory, xeroradiography, computed tomography have been performed for the early detection of this disease but invalid in the most cases. Recently some authors reported that the bone scanning was useful for the early detection of acute osteomyelitis, but this method also had difficulty in differential diagnosis and uncertaninty of its activity. This study aims to try to find methods of early detection of acute osteomyelitis. Experimental osteomyelitis was developed by the inoculation of Staphylococcus aureus to proximal tibias of 39 young rabbits already sclerosed by solution of sodium morrhuate. By comparing the clinical, radiological, bacteriological and laboratory findings in sequence from 2 days to 7 weeks after inoculation, the following results were obtained. 1. The incidence of experimental osteomyelitis after inoculation of staphylococcus aureus SNUH-S-188 in suspension of 1×10(7) colony forming units was 84%, 74%, and 79% in radiological, blood culture and pathologic examination respectively. 2. The leucocytosis was noticed only in early stage and slight degree of anemia was found during the 1st and 2nd weeks after inoculation. The sedimentation rate was increased only in early acute stage and same was eosinophil count. The leucocyte alkaline phosphatase(LAP) and platelet count. showed no significant abnormal changes. 3. Lymphocyte and eosinophil turned over from normal and eosinophil was predominant in experimental osteomyelitis. 4. Serum calcium, phosphorus, total protein and albumin showed significant decrease in all stages and was conversely paralle1 to changes in groin temperature. The level of BUN was normal indicating normal kidney function in experimental osteomyelitis. 5. Even though the enzymes of which showed no significant changes enrolled alkaline phosphatase and serumgluiamicoxalic-transaminase(S-GOT), but some increa.e was attained to 27% and 44% respectively. 6. It is important and significant to find continuous increase of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) since 48 hours after inoculation and author, think these will be the reliable and sensitive indices in early detection of the development of osteomyelitis and efficacy of therapeutic measures.
