This study aimed to analyze about the perception in obesity and body somatotype of university students in Korea and in China. This study provides the basic data of nutrition education for university student healthy weight program in China. The subjects were selected 240 university students of Korea and China. Two types of qualitative and quantitative questionnaires were used to analyze the attitude and body somatotype of subjects. The results of this study were as follows: The average BMI of Korean and Chinese male students was 22.3 and 22.5, respectively while the average BMI of Korean and Chinese female students was 19.8 and 19.7, respectively. In the past three years, the weight gain of Chinese students was higher than that of Korean students. Chinese students preferred the overweight body somatotype more compared to the Korean students. The overweight and obese students had more obvious insufficiency in body somatotype perception. The overweight and obese students had higher tendency to 'eat more meat', 'drink carbonated beverages', 'eat convenience food', 'take fast food' and 'drink alcohol' than the normal and low weight group. The major reasons for Korean students to control weight were 'appearance' and 'self confidence', while the major reasons for Chinese students were 'health' and 'employment'. From the results of associative group analysis (AGA), Chinese students had different semantic value of 'obese' than Korean students. Considering of the food transition status in China, it may be necessary to develop more suitable education programs for weight control for Chinese university students.

The CT can image both bone and soft tissue structures of paranasal sinuses and face and so CT has added animportant new dimension to radiological evaluation of disease of paranasal sinuses and face. CT is more accuratemethod of staging of tumors and essential for therapeutic planning. The author studied 25 cases of proven tumorsof paranasal sinuses and face during the period from Oct. 1977 to Aug.1980 in Kyung Hee University Hospital. Theresult were as follows; 1. Among 14 females and 11 males, their age range was form 14 years to 65 year. 2. Thedistribution of tumors were mucocele, squamous cell carcinoma, metastatic carcinoma, meningioma, angiofibroma,Masson's hemangiosarcoma, fibrous dysplasia, neurogenic sarcoma, Schwannoma, hemangioma, epidermoid, transitionalcell carcinoma and unknown. 3. Determination of location and extent of mucocele was easily done by CT. Thus in allcases of esthmoid mucocele, chief complaint of exophthalmos could be easily explained by identification of itsextension into peripheral fat space of orbit. 4. It is our belief that CT was useful method to determine stagingof tumors of paranasal sinuses and was essential in choosing appropriate treatment modality. 5. The contrastenhancement is generally not helpful in pathologic diagnosis of tumors but intracranial extension of tumors areclearly defined by contrast enhancement.

A case of aneurysmal bone cyst is reported in a 23 years old male, who complained of pain and tenderness on the right lateral aspect of thigh, This case had been treated with radical curettage and autogenous bone graft, but eight months later the radiological evidence of recurrence was present. So he was reoperated and he has been recovered relatively gradually, Roensgenograms of 7 montbs duration after reoperation showed abundent new bone formtion and no evidence of recurrence.

Ewing's Sarcoma is a rapidly growing malignant neoplasm that arises from primitive cells of the bone marrow in young persons. This case, a seventeen year-old male, complained of pain and swelling on the both knee. He had been treated under the impression of osteomyelitis at several local clinics. Clinically, malaise and high fever were continued during admission period. Microspically it was confirmed as Ewing's Sarcoma and then he was discharged. Presently he is under the radiation therapy.

During the past 11 years period from April, 1961 to March, 1972 171 cases of electrical burn patients were treated at Orthopedic Department of Han-Il Hospital. The author reviewed and discussed our clinical experience of electrical thermal injuries. Clinical analysis of these 171 cases of electrical burn patients was carried out and summarized as follows; 1) The majority of the patients ranged two to three decades of life(68.4%); The youngest 1 year old and oldest 53 years of age. Male were involved significantly more than female, the incidence being 163 cases (95.3%) and 8 cases. 2) Seasonal distribution showed more than about two third with 114 cases for rainy summer times and Autumn from May to October. 3) Among 171 cases of electrical burn patients, 131 patients (54.2%) were under 5% of body surface and 15 patients (11.3%) were over 20% of body surface. 4) In the regional distribution of burn wound, the upper extremity were 157(92.3%), 73(42.9%) in lower extremity, and 49 (28.9%) in other region. 5) Occupational distribution; The electrical line man and electrician were seen 136 cases (80%) which is two third of 171 patients, labor 12 cases(7%), 10 cases (5.9%) in painters, 8 cases (4.6%) in company employee and industrialist, 5 cases (2.9%) in house-wife, and 4 cases (2.4%) in motor man. 6) The most frequently early complication at electric burn of 171 cases were gastrointestinal symptom 111 cases (65%), fracture 18 cases (10.5%), head injuries (intracranial bleeding and basal bone fracture of skull) 15 cases (6.4%), spinal cord injury and kidney rupture 1 cases (0.6%), hemorrhage 2 cases (1.2%), and other 8 cases (4%). 7) The predominating organisms cultured out of burn wounds of 26 cases were staphylococcus aureus 9 (34.7%), pseudomonas auerginosa 5 (19.2%), E. coli 3 (11.5%), staphylococcus albus 1(4%), β-hemolytic streptococcus 1 (4%), and no growth were 7 (26.9%). 8) The type of current and the voltage in 102 cases among the 171 cases of electric burn patients was clear. Injury of the 99 cases out of the 102 cases were by indirect current and the 3 was by direct current. In 99 cases by indirect current, electric burn in accordance with high tension current in voltage was 81 cases (79.4%), low tension current injuries 18 cases (17.6%). 9) At the admission, laboratory findings of the electric burn patients showed hemoconcentration and leukocytosis. 10) Early excision of the necrotic tissue and skin grafting was performed in 94 times. The results was excellent in 71 times. 11) Among 171 cases of electric burn patients, later complication were seen 47 cases (27.4%), which is 25 cases (14.3%) in amputation, 8 cases in cicatrical contraction, 4 cases in serum hepatitis, 4 cases in paralysis, 2 cases in osteomyelitis, 2 cases in ankylosis of knee joint, 2 cases in drop foot, 1 case in anal stricture, and 1 case in cataract. 12) The overall motality in this series was 8% (14cases) and the most frerent cause of the death was due to head injury (9 cases) at the time of electrical burn injuries.
