CT has facilitated early recognition and treatment of focal brain injuries in patients with head trauma. However. CT shows relatively low sensitivity in identifying nonhemorrhagic contusion and injuries of white matter. MR is known to be superior to CT in detection of which matter injuries, such as diffuse axonal injury. MR imaging in 14 cases of diffuse axonal injury on 2.0T was studied. The corpus callosum, especially the body portion, was the most commonly involved site. The lesions ranged from 5 to 20 mm in size with ovoid to elliptical shape. T2WI was the most sensitive pulse sequence in detecting lesions such as white matter degeneration, hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic contusion. The lesions were nonspecific as high and low signal intensities on T2WI and T1WI respectively. CT showed white matter abnormality in only 1 case of 14 cases. We propose MR imaging as the primary imaging procedure for the detection of diffuse axonal injury because of its multiplanar capabilities and higher sensitivity.

Pyuria, pain and hematuria are the predominant symptoms in urologic diseases. Among them hematuria is the most important complaint referable to the urinary tract in both children and adults Accordingly, hematuria should never be ignored, and no matter how trivial the bleeding a complete urologic investigation into itscause is mandatory. A statistical survey was made on hematuria of the in-patientsin the Department of Urology at ST. Mary's Hospital, during the two years from August 1966 to July 1968 and the following results were obtained. 1. During that period. out of 437 cases who were hospitalized, 246 cases(179 males and 67 females) had hematuria, giving a rate of 5t percent (gross: 24 percent, micro-hematuria: 30 percent) 2. More than 70 percent of all the cases of hematuria processed were found to be calculus, tumor and tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. 3. Most frequent incidences of hematuria 'were shown to be trauma in children, while calculus, tuberculosis and tumor in young and middle aged group, and tumor in old aged group as well. 4. Among 141 cases of micro-hematuria, grade I showed 78 cases(55 percent) 5. The location of bleeding in 1O5 cases of gross hematuria was in the kidney by 40 percent, bladder, ureter and urethra in that order of frequency.

For the establishment of the basis of treatment and study in the patients of facial bone fracture, we performed a clinico-statistical study about 28 papers and 9564 cases reported as facial bone fractures in the journal of Korean association of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, the journal of the Korean academy of maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and related journals. The results were as follows: 1. The ratio of men to women was 4.50:1. 2. The age frequency was highest in the third decade(37.6%), and fourth(21.5%), second(15.5%), fifth(10.3%) decade in orders. 3. The most common location of facial bone fractures was the mandible(62.7%), and zygoma complex (22.6%), nasal bone(15.0%), and maxilla(13.0%) were next in order of frequency. 4. The major etiologic factors were traffic accident(37.9% ), fisticuffs(26.4%), and falldown and slip down(23.4%). 5. The frequent fracture site of mandible is symphysis(39.3%), angle(24,4% ), and condyle(22.5%). The ratio of left to right was 1.31:1. Open reduction(69.1%) was the more frequently using method of treatment in mandibular fracture than colsed reduction (28.6%). 6. The sites of zygoinatic fractures were zygoma complex(48.0%), zygornatic arch(35.7%), and combined(16.3%). The left to right ratio was 1.37:1. 7. The most frequent maxillary fracture was Le Fort I (31.4% ), and Le Fort II (27.1%), unilateral(14.3%), Le Fort III (7.6%) were next in order of frequency.

Authors review the clinical and histopathologic findings of 41 EIenoch-Schonlein purpur.a patients and attempt, to clarify the association between abnorma] urinary findings and anti-streptolysin 0(ASLO) titer and performed the direct immunofluorescence(',E)II) study on skin lesion to investigate the pathogenetic mechanim of renal involvement. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Ag(, distribution was form 3 month to 63 years and mean age was 18.9 years. male to female ratio was 1.2:1(22 males '. 19 females). 2. In he past history, there were preceding upper respora.tory infections in 25(61:o)patients and drug history in 10(24.3%)patients. 3. (linical manifestations in the order of frequency were as follows : arthralgia (60.9%), hematuria or albuminuria(43.8%), abdominal pain(21.9%), and positive occult: blood test(7.3%)in stool examination. 4. In the laboratory fiindings, leukocytosis was cleveloped in 14.6%, anemia in 2.4%, increased eryttrocyte sec1imentation zate in 12.3% increased ASLG titer in 43.9% of patients, and serum IgG was increased in 4 of 20(20.6)patierits, IgA in 4 of 21(19%)patients, IgM in 1fo 19(5.3o)patients. 5. Because correlation between increased A.LO titer ancl ahnoormal urinary findings wa.s high(x-test, p< 0.0,5), increased ASI,O titer may be inclicator of renal involvement. 6. DIF stuc].y was per formed in 34 patients. All showed positive reactiviy. IgG(17%), IgA(29.4% ), Clq(14.6%), C3(12.2% ), fibrinog.n(82.4%) were deposited around the vessel wall in a granular pattern. 7. There was statistically significant increase in mean serum IgG value in patients with abnormal urinary findings( t test, p < 0.05 ).

To establish the hematological reference values in the healthy adults visited our hospitals, following examination were done on 2823 persons by Coulter Counter Model S-plus II ; white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), meant corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet, plateletcrit, mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW).
