In order to grasp the real status of male sterility of the Koreans, clinical observation, semen analysis, and testicular biopsy were conducted on 257 cases. the study was performed in the Department of Urology, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine during the period from April 1963 to March 1968 for5 years. 1) The 257 cases complained of sterility occupied 4.3% of the total number of outpatients, 5927. visited during the observation period. 2) The age range of the cases applied was from 55, maximum, to 21. minimum, with the category of 26 to 35 occupying 2/3 of the whole. 3) The majority of the cases were in the 2nd to 5th year of their marriages 10.8%. 4) Cities were found to produce more of such cases than the country. and no specific relationship was revealed to be connected with patient's occupations. 5) Tuberculous diseases weremore prevalent in the past histories of those involved, and gonorrhea and mumps showed a decreasing tendency. 6) 141 cases (55.2%) produced 2 to 4ml of semen amount and 40 cases, less than 1.0ml. 7) 90 cases (35.O%) were found have azoospermia and 122 cases (47.7%) had more than 50 X 10(6) sperms, 8) 106 cases (63.5%) had higher than 60% of active sperm while 16 cases showed to have less than 20%. 9) Findings of testicular biopsies were conducted on 35 cases with azoospermia of oligospermia: Germinal cell aplasia-17 cases (48.6%); spermatogenic arrest-10 cases (28.6%); hypospermatogenesis-6 cases (17.1%); normal-2 cases.

We report a case of focal eosinophilic myositis of the frontalis muscle in a 38-year-old man. The skin lesion was a single firm flesh-colored swollen lesion measuring 1×1.5 cm in size on the right forehead. The biopsy revealed inflammatory infiltrates composed of mainly eosinophils and a few lymphocytes in the muscles. The skin lesion subsided with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide, 5 mg/ml.

Craniopharyngioma is a benign, slow-growing tumor that constitues 3-9% of all intracranial tumors, and arises from epithelial remnants of the Rathke's pouch. We analized MR (2.0T) findings of ten cases with surgically proved craniopharyngioma retrospectively. CT was avilable in five cases, and Gd-DTPA was used in six cases. Characteristic findings of craniopharyngioma in MRI included multilocularity and variable signal intensities within each loculus that were more prominent in T1WI. Detection rate of calcification in MR was 60%. Six cases with Gd-DTPA enhancement revealed irregular or rim-like enhancement. MRI provides useful informations regarding the location, extent and biochemical characteristics of the oraniopharyngioma as well as its relationship to the neighboring structures which will be valuable in planning surgical resection.

The 35 patients of femur neck fracture treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty were followed up for an average of 18 months with the range of 12 months to 5 years after bipolar hemiarthroplasty from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1992. 1. Mean age of the patient was 68 years old(25-93) and mean hospitalization period was 55 days. 2. Associated medical problems were diabetes mellitus in 6 cases, cerebrovascular disease in 5 cases, rectal cancer in 1 case and pulmonary tuberculosis in 1 case. 3. An anterior dislocation, one of the early complication occured in 1 case, and superficial infection in 3 cases(8.5%), a deep infection, one of the late complication occured in 1 case. 4. The clinical result was focus on the functional hip assessment of bipolar hemiarthroplasty after femur neck fracture, and the functional results evaluated by Lunceford's Method were excellent in 22 cases(63%), good in 5 cases(14.3%), fair in 5 cases(14.3%), poor in 3 cases(8.6%). 5. The bipolar hemiarthroplasty was satisfactory method for the displaced femur neck fracture in the elderly patients, but to return the patient's preinjury activity level, more active postoperative rehabilitation should be required.

It is difficult to distinguish benign from malignant, pulmonary nodule by conventional roentgenologic examination. But CT makes it easier to evaluate adjacent parencymal invasion, pleural or mediastinal extenstion,or early metastasis to intra- or extrathoracic lymph node as well as distant organs, although only a solitaryperipheral pulmonary nodule is seen on plain radiograph. Authors reviewed CT of 22 cases of histopathologically confirmed primary lung cancer seen as a solitary peripheral pulmonary mass from May 1980 to Sep. 1984 at DongsanMedical Center, Keimyung University. The results are as follows: 1.The incidence was most common in the 6thdecade(36%). Male to female ratio was 10:1 and 2 females all had bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma. 2. Thedistributions of histologic cell type were as follows: squamous cell carcinoma 40%, adenocarcinoma, small cellcarcinoma, bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma and unclassified carcinoma 14% in each cases, and adenoid cysticcarcinoma 4% . 3. The CT findings were as follows: a) Superior and posterior basal segments of both lower lobeswere most frequently involved(68%). b) The mean diameter of the mass was 48mm, and most common in the range of30-49 mm in the greatest dimension(46%). c) The mean CT atttenuation value was 57 H.U., and most common in thegroup of 41-70 H.U. (64%). d) Lymph node metastasis was found in 13 (59%) of 22 cases, and the involved nodes wereas follows: hilar nodes 10 cases, paratracheal nodes 8 cases, subcarinal nodes 7 cases and extrathoracic nodes 3cases. In 2 of 3 cases with small cell carcinoma, diffuse multiple lymph nodes were involved. e) Distantmetastasis was seen relatively early in 3 cases; cerebral metastasis in 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma, rightaderenal metastasis without intrathoracic lymph node metastasis or invasion of adjacent structures in 1 case ofbronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma, and liver and bone metastases in 1 case of unclassified carcinoma. f) Adjacentpleural or mediastinal invasion was found in 7 cases(32%): pleural invasion along chest wall in 4 cases, andinvasion of adjacent mediastinal pleura in 3 cases of 2 squamous cell carcinoma and 1 unclassifed carcinoma. g)Calcifications witihin the mass were found in 5 cases (23%), and most common in squamous cell carcinoma(3 cases).In all cases, a few granular calcification were seen along the peripheral margin of the mass. h) Tumor necrosiswas seen in 4 cases(18%), and 3 cases were squamous cell carcinoma, and one of them showed irregular centralcavitation. i) The margins of tumor were irregularly lobulated with radiating spiculations in all except one ofadenoid cystic carcinoma, which revealed oval shaped, smooth clear margin. j) In 9(41%) of 22 cases, someenlargement of pulmonary vessels with perivascular linear infiltrations were found in the adjacent lungparenchymes of the mass, which were thought to be retrograde perivascular lymphangitic spread along pulmonaryvessels.
