We report a case of morphea profunda in a 21-year-old male who had diffuse brown sclerotic plaques on his extremities. Laboratory findings showed peripheral eosinophilia and an increased titers for anti-DNA and anti-nuclear antibodies. Histopathologic findings showed diffuse fibrosis and a thickening of the lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue. He has been treated with hydroxychloroquine 400mg per day and the sclerosis of the skin improved.

The association rate of antibody with antigen has been reported to be greatly increased by lowering ionic strength. Low-ionic strength salt solution(LISS) method has been used for the detection of various alloantibodies. To investigate the sensitivity of LISS in indirect antiglobulin test, a comparison study of LISS with saline and albumin methods was conducted. A total of 32 patients' samples requested for indirect antiglobulin test were evaluated. Out of 32 patients with clinical immune hemolytic anemia, 11(34.3%) were positive in 37 degrees C saline antiglobulin test, 18(56.2%) in albumin antiglobulin test, 23(71.8%) in LISS antiglobulin test respectively. These results were statistically analyzed using non parametric Page's test for ordered alternatives. LISS method is more sensitive than 37 degrees C saline method or albumin method significantly (p<0.01).

The dual muscle flap (Latissimus dorsi+ Serratus anterior muscle) based on the thoraco-dorsal vascular system for limb reconstruction has been infrequently reported. We have used this flap as a free flap for limb reconstruction in four patients (3 cases in lower linb, 1 in upper limb). A Latissmusi dorsi muscle or musculocutaneous flap and Serratus anterior muscle flap were used and all cases healed satisfactorily. The indications for this flap are to resurface two separate defects simultaneously or to resurface very large defects. It has the advantage of requiring anastomosis of one vascular pedicle only. This flap is particularly suitable for resurfacing defects wider than their length, in relation to the long axis of the limb.

Intracompartmental pressure of leg was measured by the slit catheter technique in one hundred fifty compartments of one hundred cases; fifty were from healthy young male adults, the others were from tibial fractured patients during three years from March 1983 to Fobruary 1986. The results were as follows; 1. Slit-catheter technique was found as a accurate method for continuous pressure monitoring. 2. The range of normal pressure was from zero to six millimeters of mercury(1.45mmHg±0.85). 3. Tissue pressure was 0–15mmHg(4.03mmHg±1.83) in unaffected side of fractured patients, 4–35mmHg(14.65mmHg±2.05) in affected side of fractured patients.

In the diagnosis of acute spinal trauma, meticulous physical examination and history taking is the most important tool and auxilliary support support can be given by plain X-ray, CT or myelography, etc. But these cannot show the state of cord injury directly. On the contrary, MRI shows the cord directly as well as the soft and bony tissues. We analysed retrospectively 39 patients who suffered from acute spinal trauma at the level of cervical and thoracic spine and had their spine MRI taken. We verified the meaningful correlation between the signal change in the spinal cord on MRI and the degree of neurologic deficit and prognosis, using Frankel classification and trauma motor index at the time of admission and the final follow-up.

Korean Journal of Urology 1989;30(3):291-300
Superficial bladder cancer is a disease with variable biologic potential. The behavior of the disease varies, depending upon the tumor characteristics evident on initial evaluation. A retrospective study of 178 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma and a follow up of at least 6 months is reported. Transurethral resection was done in all cases. Using Cox's proportional hazards model, the following results were obtained : 1. Grade was the most important factor followed by. in order of importance, the number of tumors, patient age, tumor size, shape of the tumor, and associated bladder mucosal changes. A previous history of a superficial bladder tumor was another independent prognostic factor. 2. Other variables such as sex the interval between transurethral resection and initial symptom or first recurred period were not prognostic factors. The high risk factors were grade 3, more than 2 tumors, more than 51 year old, tumor site more then 3cm, non-papillary shapes and associated bladder mucosal changes. More aggressive therapy should be considered for patients showing high risk factors.

From 1981 to 1987, 91 patients underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The regional lymph nodes were resected in 42 patients with disease localized to the kidney. The following results were obtained. 1. 5 year survival rates for patients with stage TlNOMO, T2NOMO and T3aNOMO were 100, 81.8 and 66.4 %, respectively, and for patients with stage T3bNOMO or regional lymph node involvement was 0 %. 2. The incidence of regional lymph node involvement in patients with stage T1, T2 and T3a was 0, 13.0 and 31.8%, respectively. 3. The extended lymphadenectomy for renal cell carcinoma was not proved to be more effective than radical nephrectomy only. 4. Staging was correct with computerized tomography in 71.0% of the lesions but stage T1 was determined correctly by computerized tomography in 100 % of patients. When the efficiency of computerized tomography and the possibility of regional lymph node involvement is considered, and extended lymphadenectomy is not a suggested addition to radical nephrectomy in patients with stage T1 renal cell carcinoma. In the future radioimmunoassay techniques or magnetic resonance imaging techniques may provide additional information in the evaluation of metastatic disease.

Lichen planus is a common, usually intensely pruritic papulosquamous dermatosis with unknown etiology, which may involve the skin, mucous membranes, hair follicles, and nails. Its lesions are usually a localized form but generalized ones are an unusual presentation of lichen planus. We report herein three cases of generalized lichen planus in one male and two female patients, which was diagnosed on clinical and histopathological examinations in all cases.
