There is no sport in which the shoulder does not play an integral role. There are many patients with shoulder joint problems in volleyball, baseball, tennis and golf. In volleyball, a quick strong spike is necessary. Therefor, the treatment of shoulder injuries as well as the protection of the shoulder is a great concern of the player. The authors have done and analysis of the playing history and the clinical studies of the volleyball players who have been recorded as patients of the department of orthopedic surgery, Korea National Police hospital, from January 1977 to December 1980. Results of the study are as follows: l. Of the ages between 17 and 25, the average age was 19.9. 2. Out of 228 case studies 96 complained of shoulder pain or 42.1%. 3. The 84, or 87.6% of the players used the posterior angle spike. The anterior angle spikers and middle angle spikers were 6 players or 6.2% each. 4. Of 60 posterior angle spikers attempted to change spiking angle, 46 or 76% were able to alieviable the shoulder pain. 5. In the posterior angle spikers the lever arm is at its shortest extent so the cases of pain were analyzed as due to repeated impingement of supraspinatus tendon.

BACKGROUND: Respiratory depression with high dose of propofol during induction is one of the major complications. We studied the effects of midazolam as premedicant on frequency and duration of apnea and frequency of loss of consciousness in relation to single dose of propofol. METHODS: We selected 194 adult patients who had clear consciousness and no depression of respiration. We allocated patients randomly to control group and midazolam group. In midazolam group, we injected 0.06mg/kg of midazolam intravenously 10min before induction, and in control group, we did nothing. Under mask oxygenation with 100% oxygen, we administered a bolus of propofol (1, 1.5, 2 mg/kg to subgroup 1, 2, 3 respectively) intravenously. The change of respiration and loss of consciousness were observed. RESULTS: The frequency and duration of apnea increased with the dose of propofol in both control and midazolam group. But there were no difference between groups except frequency of apnea with 1.5 mg/kg of propofol. In control group, frequency of loss of consciousness increased with the increasing dose of propofol. But in midazolam group, nearly all the patients was slept without difference by the dose. CONCLUSIONS: Premedication with midazolam reduce the sleeping dose of propofol to induce anesthesia, so the frequency and duration of apnea which is caused by high dose of propofol can be decreased.

Craniofacial dysostosis, a well defined. rare syndrome first described by Crouzon in 1912, characteristically shows frontal bosses, prognathism, exophthalmos, exotropia, optic nerveatrophy and maxillary hypoplasia. Three cases of familial occurrence are presented, and according to their history, 11 of 13 members in 5 generations of their family are suspected to have been afflicted. A brief review of related literature is described.

The goals of treatment of the slipped capital femoral eiphysis(SCFE) are to stabilize the slipped epiphysis, prevent further slipping and induce early closure of the epiphyseal plate. Mutiple pinning was used for the treatment but in recent years, percutaneous in-situ fixation technique with 1 or 2 cannulated screws is preferred due to the advantages of low rate of complication such as pin penetration. We report the results of experimental study and the functional results after percutaneous pinning. The purpose of the experimental study was the investigation for changes of the screw length and the site of screw entry point according to the degree of slipping by bony model. The entry point of the screw was changed toward anterior and proximal portion of femoral neck and the length of inserting screw was changed to be shorter according to the degree of slip. We have treated 10 patients(13 hips) with slipped capital femoral epiphysis(SCFE) at our department since Jan. 1989. Among them, 6 patients(7 hips) could be followed for more than 2 years. There were 5 boys and 1 girl. One case was affected on the both hip. The average age at operation was 11.8 year old. All cases were obese. Degree of slipping was showed 6 cases in mild and 1 case in moderate. The slipping of acute onset was 3 cases, acute-on chronic 3 cases and chronic 1 case. In radiographic results, 6 cases were showing in Grade 0, 1 case was in Grade II. In functional results, 3 cases were excellent, 3 cases in good and 1 case in poor. One poor functional result was a case complicated by chondrolysis.

The nevus of Ota is a distinctive, mesodermal pigmentation of the facial skin commonly combined with pigmentation of the eye, usually congenital but capable of benign progression. It is usually unilateral, but in the 1st of these 2 cases, pigmentation of the facial skin and the eye was bilateral and associated with pigmentation of the left shoulder and the anterior cervical area(nevus of Ita). In the 2nd of these 2 cases, pigmentation of the eye and the shoulder was bilateral. Pigmentation of the eye accompanies that of sclera in every case, that of conjunctiva, iris and choroid in some case. It accompanies that of optic disc rarely, but in the 1st of these 2 cases, the pigmentation of optic disc was found in both eyes, in the 2nd, in the right eye. We have experienced the above-mentioned 2 cases of nevus of Ota associated with nevus of Ito which accompanied the pigmentation of optic disc, that are rare. We briefly reviewed the literature relating to nevus of Ota and Ito.
