Congenital dislocation of the hip has been known as one of the most common congenital anomalies in the orthopedic field since the time of Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.). The occurence of C.D.H. in twin babies is extremely rare thus few if any papers have been reported. During the period of January 1971 through June 1976 the authors have treated a total of 49 cases as inpatients. Two of these were twin babies. In both cases the hip was surgically reduced and followed by open reduction and femoral derotation osteotomy. Clinically and radiologically the results were good during the duration of follow-up seven months after operations.

The distribution of transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in developing mouse embryos of gestational age 8 to 15 days was immunohistochemically (ABC method) studied to investigate the differential expression of these growth factors. Paraffin embedded sections were immunostained with antibodies for TGF-α and EGF. Staining of TGF-α was observed in several organs derived from endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm in 9-day-old mouse embryos, such as in the heart, optic pit, head mesenchyme, neural tube and primitive gut, and the staining became more intense in 10 to 15-day-old mouse embryos. The staining of EGF was seen in the heart and primitive gut derived from mesoderm and ectoderm respectively, in 9-day-old mouse embryos, but it was observed in other organs as well in 10 to 15-day-old embryos although the intensity was weaker. In the development of heart, immunoreactivity for TGF-α was more intense than EGF, which suggests more active involvement of TGF-α. In the lung, TGF-α staining was observed both in the bronchus and lung bud, whereas EGF staining was seen only the bronchus. In the nervous system, TGF-α was expressed more extensively and more intensively than EGF. In the developing skeletal system, TGF-α staining was stronger and the expression was observed at earlier stage compared with EGF. These results indicate that the activity of TGF-α is more potent than EGF in the development of mouse embryo in general, especially, in the development of mouse heart, nervous system, mesenchyme and skeletal system.

The hyperosinophilic syndrome (HES) commonly involves liver and spleen but only a few literature has reported the imaging features. In this article, we present the imaging features of the liver and spleen in HES patients together with clinical and laboratory features. This study included 5 HES patients with hepatic involvement. Extensive laboratory tests including multiple hematologic, serologic, parasitologic, and immunologic examinations were performed. Imaging studies included CT, ultrasound (US) of upper abdomen and hepatosplenic scintigraphy. All patients were periodically examined by laboratory and imaging studies for 4 to 24 months. The common clinical presentations were weakness, mild fever, and dry cough. All patients revealed leukocytosis with eosinophilia of 40 to 80% and benign eosnophilic hyperplasia of the bone marrow. The percutaneous biopsy of the hepatic focal lesions performed in 2 patients showed numerous benign eosinophilic infiltrates and one of them revealed combined centrilobular necrosis of hepatocytes. All cases revealed hepatomegaly with multiple focal lesions on at least one of CT, US, or scintigraphy. These findings completely disappeared in 2 To 6 months following medication of corticosteroid or antihistamines. The HES involved the liver and CT, US, or scintigraphy. These findings completelydisappeared in 2 to 6 months following medication of corticosteroid or antihistamines. The HES involved the liver and CT, US, or scintigraphic studies showed hepatic multifocal lesions with hepatomegaly. Differential diagnoses of these findings should include metastatic disease, lymphoma, leukemia. candidiasis or other opportunistic infections.

Balloon cell malignant melanoma (BCMM) is a rare histologic variant of malignant melanoma, which is composed either predominantly or entirely of large clear or foamy cells. The incidence of balloon cell malignant melanoma is about 0.15% of all cutaneous malignant melanomas. Recently, we experienced a case of cutaneous balloon cell malignant melanoma in the right lower abdomen with right inguinal and both axillary lymph node metastasis in a 56-year-old man. The cutaneous lesion was 4.5 3.5 cm in size, a well-demarcated black nodular mass, involving abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue. The tumor was histologically composed of two types of tumor cells: predominant clear cell and focal, pigmented spindle cell. The nodal lesion was composed entirely of clear cells. Both clear and spindle cells showed positive reaction for S-100 protein and HMB-45 on immunohistochemistry.

This study is concerned with the classifcation of Korean adult mandibular condyles on the basis of the shape of their anteroposterior view. The results were as follows ; 1. Morphological variations are classified into 4 groups. The percentage of each group has been : flat, 7.7% ; convex, 47.2% ; angled, 14.8% ; round, 30.3%. 2. The location of the highest point were as follows : in the lateral third, 15.5% ; middle third, 80.3% ; medial third, 4.2%. 3. The maximum transverse diameter and greatest height were 20.3±2.4mm and 6.5±1.5mm, respectively.

Mauriac syndrome consists of a triad of poorly controlled diabetes, profound growth retardation and hepatomegaly. We experienced a case of Mauriac syndrome in an 18-year-old girl who had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, short stature, hepatomegaly and central obesity. Also at the time of examination, she had complications of diabetic cataract and nephropathy. Fourteen years prior to admission, she was diagnosed as diabetes mellitus at a hospital. Thereafter, she had been managed with irregular insulin injection. On physical examination at admission, her height was 135cm(<3 percentile) and her weight was 39kg(<3 percetile). She was short and obese. The liver was 5 cm palpable below the right subcostal margin. Her sexual maturation was Tanner stage I. On ophthalmologic examination, the cataracts were observed on both eyes and diabetic retinopathy was absent. Diabetic nephropathy could not be confirrned by kidney biopsy due to her mother's refusal. We studied the hormonal, radiographic and histological abnormalities. The hormonal study was normal and the bone age was by delayed as much as 10 years. The liver biopsy revealed glycogen accumulation in hepatocyte. She was consistent with Mauriac syndrome. She was managed by strict diabetic control with insulin therapy, diabetic diet and intensive education. She was discharged with well controlled blood glucose. Five months later, growth acceleration and sexual maturation have not been observed, but hepatomegaly subsided. (J Korean Pediatr Soc 2000;43-837-841)
