It has been well known that prutic skin diseases are very common among the chicken raisers. Authors visited three paultry farming area in Kyung Ki Province to observe the avian mite dermatitis among the workers and to collect the causative paultry mites during the period from March to September, 1982. At every paultry farming area, we chose two families to investigate every family member and to check the dermatitis correlated with the mite that we had collected from the samples of each house dust and hen-house dust. The result were summarized as follows; 1. Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago, 1877) was found in dust samples from two houses and two hen-houses. And Dermatophagoides species and Acarus siro (Linnaeus, 1758) were also collected from the other house and henhouse samples. 2. Three cases of avian mite dermatitis were found in one family, where O. syiviarum was collected in the dust samples from their house and hen-house.

We report a case of sebaceous hyperplasia showing linear arrangement in a 13-year-old girl. The lesion was found at birth and became prominent gradually. Multiple small discrete yellowish papules were arranged in a linear pattern on the temporal srea of the face. Unusual, incidental histopathologic finding was a sebaceous lobule lying in a dilated infundibular portion, which appeared to represent transfollicular extrusion of sebaceous lobule as a natural phenomenon.

While a giant cell tumor most frequently involves the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia, involvement of the cervical spine is quite rare. Recently we observed a patient with a giant cell tumor affecting the sixth cervical vertebra. This is regarded as a clinically malignant tumor because its nature and difficulty in diagnosis and treatment We easily confirmed the extent of the lesion by CT scanning with Metrizamide. The treatment was palliative tumor ressection. This case of a giant cell tumor affecting the sixth cervical vertebra is reported with a brief review of the literature.

Since the first attemt of internal fixation not much more than a century ago, implants have come to play an important role in orthopaedic surgery. Yet little has been reported about complications which may result from implant surgery. During the period of May 1980 to April 1984, 32 cases of fixation failures were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hallym College, Kang Nam Sacred Heart Hospital and results were obtained as follows: 1. The most common area involved femoral shaft, but the highest rate was distal femur. 2. The most common period of failure was between 2 to 4 months postoperatively. 3. The leading cause of failure was remaining defects at fracture site. 4. The authors recommend accurate reduction of fracture and bone graft, if necessary, adequate immobilization postoperatively and co-coperation of patient to avoid failure of implant.

We report herein a case of subcutaneous granuloma pyogenicum developed on the fourth interdigital space of right foot of 36-year-old housewife. Histopathological findings showed characteristic lobular capillary hemangioma. The subcutaneous nodule had a thick fibrous capsule and were composed of multiple, confluent cellular, angiomatous lobules separated by loose fibrous tissue. Most lobules contained round, oval or angular capillaries, lined by proliferated prominant endothelial cells projecting into the lumina of the vessels. Clinically, the lesion was a tender subcutaneous nodule with macerated surface aind soft corn or traumatic epidermal cyst were considered in the differential diagnoses.

Delayed diagnosis of the compartmental syndrome and subsequent delay in performing the fasciotomy can result in needless loss of function and possible amputation of the involved extremity. Unfortunately early evidence of this syndrome is difficult to assess. A direct measurement of the tissue pressure within a closed compartment has been developed which provides physicians with reliable information for determining the need for fasciotomy. In the 27 cases of the tibia fracture, tissue pressure was measured directly by method of the needle manometer in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Han Kang Sung Sim Hospital from March, 1979 to August, 1979. The results were as follows: 1. The highest mean tissue pressure per hour was 28 mmHg in anterior compartment at 24 hours after trauma, and 28.4 mmHg in deep post compartment at the same hours. 2. The highest pressure measured in all cases was 38 mmHg in anterior compartment at 24 hours and 39 mmHg in deep posterior compartment at 48 hours after trauma. 3. The return of increased tissue pressure to less than 10 mmHg took 122.6 hours in anterior and 124.4 hours in deep posterior compartment. 4. Tissue pressre was higher when there was associated fibula fracture. 5. Tissue pressure was higher in displaced fractures than in undisplaced fractures. 6. Tissue pressure was higher when fracture was in its upper one-third. 7. Tissue pressure was higher in comminuted fracture than simple fracture.

The tibial plateau fracture is a fracture of the proximal end of the tibia, involving the weight bearing articular surface. This fracture often presents some problems in treatment and prognosis, because it is frequently accompanied by soft tissue injuries such as collateral ligament, cruciate ligament and menisci. During a period of 3 1/2 years, from Febuary 1980 to July 1983, We observed 78 cases of tibial plateau fractures at Gang Nam Sacred Heart Hospital. Of the above cases, 40 could be followed for a period of anywhere from 3 months to 3 years. They have been analysed according to the cause, classification, method of treatment and final result of treatment. Among these 21(52.5%) were treated by cast immobilization, 3(7.5%) by skeletal traction, 16 (40%) by open reduction and internal fixation. Thirty two cases (80% ) out of 40 indicated the result of the Acceptable group according to Hohl and Lucks criteria.
