Clinical analysis was done on 60 meniscus injuries operated on at Orthopaedic Department of Capital Armed Forces General Hospital from Mar. 1977 to Sept. 1978 with the following results. 1. All cases were military personel aged from 21 to 40, most of them 23 and 24 years old. 2. The fall down accident was the most common cause of injury mechanism. 3. The lateral meniscus was more frequently injured than the medial with 43:17, and the right side knee than left with a ratio of 35:25. 4. The posterior horn tear was the most common type of the injuries involved 23 cases (48.3%). 5. The complete healing after menisectomy ranged from 1 month to about 3 months. 6. It seems resonably certain that habit of exaggerated flexion of the knee in Korean is an important factor in the production of the lesion, combined possibly with medial ratation of the tibia, for subsequent episodes of the exaggerated flexion enlarge the rent untill the popliteus attachment and all peripheral attachments behind the hiatus are torn away, and the posterior half of the lateral meniscus is released from normal control.

A 72-year-old woman with a pea sized, bluish, firm nodule was diagnosed as having a cellular type of dermatofibroma histopathologically. A biopsy specimen revealed a relatively well circumscribed, non-encapsulated, nodular infiltration of irregularly distributed histiocytes in the deep dermis. Foam cells were also noted. Gomoris iron stain revealed large amounts of hemosiderin deposits and some collagen were present as individual fibers in the lesion with Masson's trichrome stain.

Generalized pustular psoriasis is a severe form of paoriasis and is frequently associated with arthritis and nail deformity. We present a case of generalized pustular psoriasis in a 40 year-old man, with nail change, arthritis of both knee and ankle joints, spondylitis, and glomerulonephritis. We found a positive results of HLA A-9, B-27 in this patient. Skin lesions, arthralgia and hematuria improved marked1y by plasmapheresis and application of topical corticostertoid.

Cheilitis glandularis simplex, the clinical term first defined by Puente and Acevedo in 1935, is characterized by the development of hyperplastic mucous glands in the lips, associated with dilated ductal canals; it is manifested clinically by a usually painless swelling of the lips and a variably constant, bothersome, sticky mucoid discharge. Recently we have experienced a case of cheilitis glandularis simplex in a 13-year-old boy and an excellent cosmetic result was obtained after surgical excision and repair.

A statistical comparison of pulmonary artery and pulmonary venous wedge pressure has been made by the correlation coefficient method in 24 children with various congenital heart disease. None of them had pulmonary hypertension above the normal range. During the systolic phase, pulmonary arterial pressure was 2.02+/-2.64mmHg greater than pulmonary venous wedge pressure with poor correlation(r=0.57). During the diastolic phase, pulmonary venous wedge pressure was 2.08+/-2.47mmHg greater than pulmonary aetery pressure with poor correlation(r=-.63). Mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 0.79+/-1.02mmHg greater than pulmonary venous wedge pressure with good correlation (r=0.96). Therefore, it is concluded that if pulmonary artery is not entered, a pulmonary vein wedge pressure is a useful indication of pulmonary artery mean pressure in selected cases of congenital heart disease.
