A study was conducted to provide comprehensive information in epidemiological state of crippled schoolchildren in Chungnam area from November 23, 1979 to 19, 1980. In this study, two step survey was conducted upon whole primary, middle and high school, and subsequent selected 537 case in total 3,063 crippled children. The results obtained are as follows; 1. The prevalence rate of orthopedic defect children was 3.7 per 1,000 and dominant male as 6 : 4. 2. It was relatively high the school grade and prevalence rate more increased. Prevalence rate was highest in high school as 4.7 per 1,000, middle in middle school as 4.4 per 1,000 and lowest in primary school as 3.1 per 1,000. 3. The most predominant group was 15-19 age as 52.9 percent. 4. The most common job of their parent was agriculture as 52.9 percent and next job sales and service. Economic state of Cripple's parent have revealed no particular difference. 5. In a family, the most common incidence rate was first children in both sex and decreased by ordered sibling. 6. Poliomyelitis was the most common cause as 71.5 percent and next cerebral palsy 11.9 percent. 7. The most common affected sited was lower extremity (Right: 42.3%, Left: 35.5%) and next upper extremity. Right was more dominant as 55:45. 8. Intelligence was decreased in cerebral palsy predominantly than other cause of defect, including poliomyelitis. 9. For the treatment of their condition at onset of illness, crippled children was utilized private clinic and herb medicine, but was changed tendency of treatment as acupuncture and moxibustion after diagnosis of cause defect.

The hypertrophied prostate is the most common cause of infravesical obstrcutions, in the male patients with 50 years old or above. Though the cause of benign prostatic. hypertrophy has not clearly identified yet, recently it has been clarified that androgen, especially dihydrotestosterone, may play a great role in the benign prostatic hypertrophy. The author carried out to investigate the effect of Chlormadinone acetate-potent oral synthetic anti-androgen agent on prostatic volume and obstructive urinary symptoms induced by hypertrophied pro. static gland. The following results were obtained; 1. 23 patients were studied :19 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and 4 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and 4 patients with prostatic cancer. The mean age of patients was 72 years old. 2. The mean prostatic volume was markedly decreased from 58.7+/-2.94cc before treatment to 23.6+/-1.06cc 16 weeks after treatment. 3. Obstructive urinary symptoms, residual urine and nocturnal frequency were improved after treatment. 4. Judging from the fracts mentioned above, it may be believed that Chlormadinone acetate increase the effect of transurethral resection and prevent the rehypertrophied prostate after transurethral resection of prostate.

The vesicoureteral reflux is closely related to urinary tract infection in children and persistent vesicoureteral reflux with recurrent urinary tract infection is the common indication for antireflux plasty But it has been known that the vesicoureteral reflux was rare in Korea. From March 1979 to June 1984, author observed 13 patients with vesicoureteral reflux in the absence of any lower urinary tract obstruction, neuropathic disorder, inflammatory lesion at the base of the bladder, which were confirmed with IVP, VCUG and cystoscopy. The results were as follows 1. Age distribution was from 1 yr to 10 yr 2. Sex ratio of male to female was 1.1:1 3. Chief complaints at admission were fever 7 cases (53.9 %), flank pain 3 cases (23%), abdominal mass 2 cases (15.3%), incontinence 1 cases (7.6%). 4. Urinary culture at abmission revealed E. Coli in 9 patients (69%) and both E. Coli and Staphylococci in a patient. 5. 9 of 13 patients showed normal findings in IVP before treatment 6. 13 of 19 ureters showed one more than grade III in VCUG; before treatment. 7. In cystoscopy, shapes of 19 ureteral orifices with vesicoureteral reflux were golf-hole type 9 cases (47.4 %), horse-shoe type 2 cases (10.5 %), stadium type 1 case (5.2%), cone type 6 cases (31.6%) and in one case, it couldn`t be detected due to severe trabeculation. 8. Gregoir-Lich extravesical antireflux plasty were obtained in 13 of 19 ureters with vesicoureteral reflux without failure during four to seven follow-up months.

The high incidence of intestinal parasites among the Korean people almost same as 40 years ago might be partly interpreted by the fact that they are all fond of raw vegetables cultivated on the farms fertilized with non-treated night soil. The cabbages, onions and radishes were collected from the five areas of Seoul vicinity and the number of parasites attached to those vegetables were investigated to compare with the results obtained 10 years ago by the same methods of sampling and examination as the present survey. The resultant findings were summarized as follows: The eggs of Ascaris, hookworm, Trichostrongylus and whipworm, rhabditoid larvae and filariform larvae of hookworms were detected from those vegetables. Additionally, a number of larvae of free living nematodes and morphologically undetermined eggs were also observed. The maximum number of parasites found from one vegetable were as follows: 16 Ascaris eggs on a cabbage, 27 hookworm eggs on an onion, 8 whipworm eggs on a cabbage, 68 filariform larvae of hookworm on an onion. The onions were highly contaminated by the number of parasites as much as 177.6 including the larvae of free living nematodes, the next being the cabbages with 25.3 and the radishes with 4.1 in average. No notable relationship was observed between the size of vegetables and the number of parasites attached to them. Ascaris eggs were found from 56 percent of all cabbages, 28 percent of the onions and 40 percent of the radishes; whipworm eggs were detected on 40 percent of radishes and the filariform larvae of hookworms were observed from 40 percent of onions examined. It may be concluded that there is no notable change in the number of parasites attached to the vegetables collected from the Seoul vicinity compared to the results investigated by the same method 10 years ago.

The osteoporosis is frequently observed in the patients with the inflammatory arthritis and painful rheumatism. The treatment of the osteoporosis for them is different from that for the patients without the arthritis or rheumatism. The recently developed biologic agents blocking tumor necrosis factor, interleukin(IL)-1, IL-6, or receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) which are designed to treat the inflammatory arthritis are also expected to heal the osteoporosis in the inflammatory arthritis. The early use of the bisphosphonate is useful to prevent the glucocorticoid induced bone loss and to treat the spondyloarthropathy including the SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) syndrome. The clacitonin is useful for the painful rheumatism and osteoporotic fracture. The estrogen replacement is disputed because the stroke is known to occur more commonly in chronic inflammatory rheumatism than in general population. Moreover the pathogenesis of the most rheumatism may be partly related to the hormone. The parathyroid hormone therapy needs caution in the patients with calcium deposition disease and the hyperuricemia. We are reviewing the recent trend and development in the management of the primary, secondary and inflammatory osteoporosis in the patients with arthritis.

Ninety-one cases of genitourinary tract injuries which were admitted to Severance Hospital during the period from Jan. 1960 to Aug. 1968 were analyzed clinically and statistically. And it was investigated compared with previous papers 1) The rate of genitourinary injuries accounted for 7.3 per cent to the total admission patients during eight years sixty-nine per cent of all injuries were in men and thirty-one per cent in women. The age distribution was much the same as that found in previous literature. Most favorable age was in from 20 to50 years for 72.5 percent 2) The meet common involvement site was in urethra for32.9 per cent while external genitalia showing most common site in war wound Also iatrogenic ureteral injuries was relatively high in spite of most less commonest incidence in previous paper 3) Thirty-six per cent of all injuries weredue to traffic or vehicular accident and twenty-four per cent 'due to iatrogenic. Majority of these iatrogenic injuries occurred in pelvic operation. Falls kick and blow were listed not less frequently. 4) On observation of kidney injuries. predisposed hydronephrotic kidney was injured more frequently due to mild external forces and three cases of sixteen kidney injuries had hydronephrosis dueto stone and congenital ureteral stricture in this series 5) An incidence of ureteral injury during radical hysterectomy was variable in literature. but it was noted around 10 percent generally. In reviewing 197 cases of radical hysterectomy for carcinoma of cervix, incidence of ureteral injuries was 12 cases(7.3 per cent) and it was listed 9.3 percent including bladder injuries. 6) In investigating bladder injuries, 53 percent of injuries were associated with pelvic bone fracture And 87 per cent was extraperitoneal type and 13 per cent wasin intraperitoneal rupture. 7) Also majority of urethral injuries were associatedwith pelvic bone fracture especially in car accident cases and then involved posterior urethra for 85 per cent. And bulbous urethra was injured by straddle injury for 70 per cent.
