A case of a clinical syndrome of selective hereditary complete IgA deficiency with partial T-lymphocyte inactivation is reported. A 14 year old boy was admitted with chjef complaint of persistent wide shallow ulcerated non-vesicular patches on the skin folds of whole body, chronic upper respiatory infections and gastointestinal upsets. General appearance showed us as if the undemourished or malabsorption status had been accompanied. The duration of illness was about 10 years under the incorrect or mistaken diagnosis and skin lesions have incompletely responded to the treatment. Peripheral T-lymphocyte determination was carried out by the method of Wybran to be tumed out active T-cell 14%, total T-cell 48%. Tuberculin test showed negative with 5 TU. Immunoglobulin values were respectively as follows: IgG 325 mg%, IgM 60 mg%, and IgA trace. And we diagnosed this case as selective IgA defiency with partial T-lymphocyte inactivation. We started the immunochemotherapy with tuberculo-protein complex, Tubercin-3 and antibictics for 2 months. After 2 months with above regimen. the skin lesions were markedly improved. T-cell count also retumed to the normal limit(active 35%, total 59%) and levels of TgG and IgM raised(IgG 617.5 mg%, IgM 75mg%), but IgA still showed trace amount, Tuberculin test tumed out positive.

After the stabilization using unreamed intramedullary interlocking nails for the management of fractures of the tibial shaft, a large percentage of patients whose fractures would proceed to delayed bony union may be subject to secondary surgical procedure. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound, through its potential early assessment of the presence or absence of callus at the fracture site, can be used to predict the need for secondary surgical procedure. Fourteen tibial fractures (5 open, 9 closed) were treated with unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing. Radiographs were obtained to monitor the maintenance of reduction and fracture healing. The results of ultrasound studies were obtained at two-week intervals for 10 weeks postoperatively and read by a radiologist. In prospective study of 14 patients, tibial fractures treated with unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing were analyzed from June 1995 to February 1997 and following results were obtained. 1. Ultrasound correctly predicted fracture healing in all 10 fractures that subsequently progressed to fracture union. 2. Of the 4 fractures that did not heal, ultrasound was able to predict delayed union before it was radiographically evident. 3. Ultrasound predicted fracture healing at an average of 42 days (range, 22-70 days). In comparison, the plain radiographs showed fracture healing at an average of 126 days (range, 70 - 180 days). In conclusion, the tibia was ideal for ultrasound study because of the thin overlying soft tissue. Furthermore, the presence of the intramedullary nail facilitated evaluation of the intervening tissue. And there were several advantages of ultrasound over other imaging modalities. It was noninvasive, easy to use, and painless method of evaluation that does not use ionizing radiation.

The clinical observation was made on 174 patients with congestive heart failure among the admitted patients in Chung Ang university hospital between 1971 and July, 1978. The results were summarized as follows: 1. There were 89 females and 85 males and the incidence was the highest in the 6th decade. 2. The common causes of congestive heart failure were hypertensive heart disease 44.8%, valvular heart disease 21.3% and ischemic heart disease 9.2%. 3. The precipitating factors of congesive heart failure were found in 73.6% of cases and the major factors were arrhythmia 25.3% and infection 15.5%. 4. The important symptoms and signs were dyspnea 86.8%, hepatomegaly 53.4%, pulmonary rales 49.4%, cardiac murmur 46%, tachycardia 35.1% cough 35.1% and orthopnea 34.5%. 5. The ECG findings were abnormal in 92.1% of cases and the frequent abnormal findings were inverted or flat T wave 47.3%, atrial fibrillation 40.6% and left ventricular hypertrophy 33.3%. 6. The chest PA on admission revealed abnormalities in 159 cases, including cardiomegaly 74.6%, pulmonary congestion 66.9% and pleural effusion 26.6%. 7. The major abnormalities of laboratory data were proteinuria and the increase of globuline, BUN, TTT, alkaline phosphatase and SGOT.

Arytenoid subluxation or recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis may result from injury to the larynx following endotracheal intubation or blunt laryngeal trauma. Early diagnosis is important for appropriate treatment and better prognosis. A 62-years-old man was admitted for cholecystectomy. He was intubated without any difficulty and nasogastric tube was inserted with the help of laryngoscope and Magill forcep before surgery. He had a weak voice and hoarseness after atraumatic extubation and those symptoms did not improve even 2 days after. Indirect laryngoscopy, videolaryngotelescopy, electromyography(EMG) and computed tomographic findings revealed anterior, inferior subluxation of left cricoarytenoid cartilage associated with left thyroarytenoid muscle denervation and resultant unilateral vocal cord palsy. Conservative treatment for 40 days after the operation and follow-up examination was done. The voice quality was improved and indirect laryngoscopy examination showed that right vocal cord crossed midline in a attempt to meet its paralyzed counterpart on phonation.

We report two cases of hyperlipoproteinernia(HLP) with various cutaneous xanthomas. Case 1 was a 12-year-old girl, who had tuberous, tendinous, and plane cutaneous xanthomas and corneal arcus of the left eye. Case 2 was a 40-year-old man, who had tuberous, eruptive, and plane cutaneous xanthomas. Serum lipid and lipoprotein analysis reveoled patterns of Type IIa HLP in case 1 and, of Type IIb HLP, in case 2. They have been treated with diet control and hypolipidemic drugs and are under our continuing medical supervision.

PURPOSE: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare soft tissue tumor, which usually arises in larger joints, such as the knee. It has a high recurrence rate after surgical treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze the clinical results of diffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis cases that were treated with open total synovectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1994 and 2006, 21 patients who had diffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis were selectively reviewed. Among the 21 cases studied, 14 patients presented at the knee, 5 at the ankle, and 2 at the shoulder and elbow. The mean follow up period was 5.5 years (range, 36-157 months). The average age of the patients was 34 years consist of 7 men and 14 women. Clinical outcomes were analyzed retrospectively, including range of motion and complications. RESULTS: Open total synovectomy and adjuvant electrocautrization were done in all cases except one. During the regular follow-up period after the surgery, two patients showed symptoms of recurrence. After re-operation, only one case was pathologically confirmed as a recurrence. The patient who had partial synovectomy and the other patient who had second operation due to recur rence received additional radiation therapy. Clinical outcome scores were improved in every aspect (p<0.0001). 2 out of 14 Patients who had pigmented villonodular synovitis at the knee developed stiff knee after the surgery. CONCLUSION: After the open total synovectomy with electrocautrization, a low recurrence rate and satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved, observed in a minimum of 3 years of follow-up.
