Angiography has been playing important roles in diagnosis and treatment in the field of orthopaedic surgery. Conventional angiography is the most reliable and widely used method in diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. But the clinical use of the conventional angiography has been limited by the risk of possible complications and time-consuming procedures. Radionuclide sngiography is rapidly performed, rapidly interpretable and time-saving procedure for the visualization of arterial tree prior to vascular intervention in the critically ill patient. We have analyzed and compared the 22 cases who had taken radionuclide angiography and conventional angiography simultaneously from November, 1986 to August, 1987 in Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hanysng University Hospital. The results were as follow 1. Radionuclide angiography is simple, non-invasive, accurste, reproducible method. It eliminstes the discomfort and morbidity of conventional angiography and can be done on an outpatient basis at a much lower cost. It is useful in the patients who may be allergic to the contrast medium. 2. In cases of arterial occlusion, radionuclide angiogrpahy is also useful in the evsluation of obstruction of major artery and can be substituted for conventionsl angiography. 3. For the purpose of evaluation of success in the cases of vascular reconstruction, radionuclide angiogrphy also demonstrate the vasculsr blood flow without any risk. 4. Although rsdionuclide angiography has limitstion in snatomic detsil, it could be psrtially substituted for conventionsl angiography in the diagnosis of vascular anomalies or tumors.

Bezoyl peroxide, a powerful oxidizing agent, has been uaed topically in the treatment of acne vulgaris as a cream or lotion and has been shown to he effective for this codition. In 1972 Fulton emphaaized the importance of the vehicles used to obtain. maximum potential of benzoyl peroxide and for this, the gel formulation has been examined in many clinical trials. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Fanoxyl 2.5, a 2.5% . benzayl peraxide gel, in patients with acne vulgaris. A total of 31 patients entered this study at the Departrnent of Dermatology, Jeoul National University Hospital rluring 3 rnanths period, from Decemher, 1978 through February, 1979, All patienta were instructed to apply Fanoxyl 2.5' on their affected areas once or twice a day and the nurnber of lesions on two or three t fixed areas were counted before and onee weekly after initation of the treatment. The reaults observed in the 3I patients were as follaws; 1. The percentage decrease in total nurnber of lesions in 4 weeks after treatment was 56.9%. 2. The authors could follow up for 6 weeks in 6 cases. In 6 case, the mean percentage in total number of lesions in 6 weeks after treatment was 81.7%. 3. Clesed and open eomedones were gradually eliminated; and their numbers were decreased in 4 weeks after treatment by 46.5% and 56.8% respeetiveIy. The papules were rapidly eliminated and their numbers were decreased in 4 weeka, after treatment by 79.8%. 4. Although most patients felt a mild burning sensation and tightness at the begining of the treatment, only a minority of the patients complained of discomfort due to pain(l case), erytherna(l case), tightness(2 cases),burning sensation (1 case), scaling(1 case). But all were tolerable without taking any specific measures or discontinuance of application. In one case, contact dermatitis developed after 4 weeks treatment. The authors concluded through this experiment that Panoxyl 2.5' (2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel) is a very effective local therapeutic agent in the treatment of acne vulgaris patients.
