Urticaria is a common disease and a well known reaction pattern of the skin eharacterized by erythema or wheals and edema, that is the results of a local leakage ef plasma, from minute vessels into the connective tissue of the dermis. Seven hundred and sixty cases of urticaria visited to this department from January 1973 to December 1974 were studied clinically in various ways. Patients were classified as acute and chronic urticaria-acute form when the hives have been present for less than 8 weeks and chronic form when the hives lasted longer. In all patients, a detailed history, a complete physical examination, a total and differential leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and routine stool examination were performed. Foods were incriminated as the exciting causes of urticaria by history, diet elimination test and ingestion test. An ice cube test was done for corroboration of cold allergy. Cholinergic urticaria, was diagnosed by the appearance of small wheals surrounded by erythema after exercise, emotional disturbances or hot drinks. The diagnosis of urticaria due to drug was based on the history of urticaria following the taking of a certain drug. Infection as the inciting cause was determined by history and physical examination. The results: 1. The incidence of urticaria is 4. 6% to total number of dermatologic patients. 2. Among the 760 urticaria patients, acute cases were 498 which were 2 times more than chronic cases, and female patients were 474 cases that revealed marked high incidences than male patients. 3. The age of the patients ranged from 2 months to 87 years, and the patients between 20 and 39 years occupied more than half of the all patients. 4. Abnormal hematologic findings were more marked in acute form; leukocytosis and neutrophilia were dominate in acute form, and lymphocytosis and eosinophilia were more marked in chronic form. 5. Among the etiologic factors, the bacterial infection was the most frequent which occupied 22. 4% of the all urticaria patients. 6. Seven cases of urticaria due to parasites were clonorchis sinensis, in which I had experienced the complete recovery with the treatment of subcutaneous injection of clonorchis sinensis antigen (1: 10,000) 0.01- 0.1ml at the interval of one week. 7. In this study, the inciting or perpetuating causes could not be found in 50.8% of patients-46.2% of acute form and 59.5% of chronic form.

By means of hospital-based data over 8 years we sought to evaluate the clinical indications and incidence of emergency peripartum hysterectomy by demographic characteristic and reproduction history. From the obstetric record of all deliveries at Chung Goo Hospital between Jan. 1, 1990, and Nov. 31, 1997, we identified all women undergoing emergency cesarean hysterectomy, calculated incidence rates, conducted statistical tests of linear trends and heterogenety, and observed the clinical indicatons preceding the onset of this procedure. There were 16731 deliveries during this period, Cesarean hysterectomy was performed in 24 of 5993 cesarean sections(0.40%) and in 10 of 10738 vaginal deleveries(0.09%), so more frequently after cesarean section than vaginal delivery. The age of patients varied from 22 to 40 years old. The higher the age and the parity of patients, the higher incidence of cesarean hysterectomy was noted. The most common indication of cesarean hysterectomy was uterine atony(52.94%) followed by placental disorders(41.18%), uterine myoma with pregnancy(2.9%) and uterine rupture (2.9%). All patients who had hysterectomy received transfusion from 1 pint to 57 pints. The postoperative complications were bladder injury, febrile morbidity, disseminated intravascular coaguolopathy and wound disruption. There were three maternal deaths, the cause was disseminated intravascular coaguolopathy and amniotic embolism. The data identifiy uterine atony as the primary cause for gravid hysterctomy. The data also illustrated how the incidence of emergency peripartum hysterectomy increases significantly with increasing parity, especially when influenced by a current placenta previa or a prior cesarean section. Maternal morbidity remained high.

Frequency of fracture of the acetabulum is becoming increasingly with the increase of automobile accident. If fractures are not accurately evaluated, classified and reduced anatomically, major sequelae and complications such as traumatic arthritis, joint instability and avascular necrosis of the femoral head were highly developed. The principles of treatment are to restore the fractured acetabulum to its normal anatomy, to maintain and/or restore function, and accordingly early joint motion to promote healing and to prevent joint adhesion. However, the treatment of displaced fracture of the acetabulum has been controversial: that is, should these fractures be treated by closed or open method? Judet et al(1964), Pennal(1980) and Matta et al(1986) advocated open reduction and internal fixation for displaced fractures of the acetabulum. Especially, Matta et al reported that displaced fracture must be reduced to a displacement of 3mm or less, in addition to congruent reduction of the femoral head with weight-bearing dome of the acetabulum, to achieve a satisfactory clinical result. However, some authors reported that, if closed reduction such as traction was used, good result could be obtained. We analysed 42 cases of acetabular fractures to compare the results of closed treatment with that of open treatment as well as its complication after each treatment. All were treated at Kang-Nam St. Marys Hospital from June 1981 to June l86. The complications were' developed in 7(29.2%) out of 24 cases of conservatively treated group, and 5 (27. 8 %) of 18 cases of surgically treated group. However, 7 (70%) of 10 conservatively treated cases of displaced fracture developed complication. In all conservatively treated cases, traumatic arthritis was developed. Five of 18 surgically treated patients developed complications, such as deep wound infection in two cases, traumatic arthritis in two cases, and avascular necrosis in one case. The causes of complication in 5 surgically treated cases were wrong surgical approach by wrong classification in three cases, failure of internal fixation in a case and inevitable avascular necrosis in a case, respectively. Thus, anatomical restoration of the joint surface offered the best chance for a symptom free hip and reduced the complication such as traumatic arthritis. Even though traumatic arthritis and avascular necrosis may develop later by other causes, total hip replacement surgery will be much eased, if the nor mal joint anatomy is restored at initial treatment. Proper selection of the best suited surgical approach analysing the type fracture to minimize the sequelae is mandatorily stressed when surgical treatment is indicated.

We report on a first case of bone marrow metastasis by dedifferentiated liposarcoma. A 39-year-old male diagnosed with retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma underwent surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. In spite of radiotherapy, his whole-body positron emission tomography showed high uptake in multiple bone metastasis. With thrombocytopenia, bone scan suggested bone marrow involvement. After bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow metastasis by dedifferentiated liposarcoma was finally confirmed. He was administered with systemic chemotherapy with doxorubicin. But he died 3 months after chemotherapy due to disease progression. This case revealed that in a patient of unexplained cytopenia with dedifferentiated liposarcoma, bone marrow metastasis should be in consideration.
