Korean Journal of Physical Anthropology 1989;2(1):61-65
A case of thanatophoric dwarfism is presented. The previous gestation was polyhydramniotic and aborted spontaneously at 19th week. The aborted fetus showed marked micromelia. Present gestation was also polyhydramniotic and terminated by therapeutic abortion at 31th weeks due to skeletal deformity representing thanatophoric dwarfism. The fetus shows typical characteristics of thanatophoric dwarfism. Grossly the fetus shows marked micromelia, narrowed thorax with relatively normal length of trunk, and enlarged head. In the radiograph the femur shows characteristic ‘ telephone receiver’-like form. And the histological observations shows marked disturbances of the endochondral ossification.

3.Clinical Study of Cementless Femoral Stem: Comparative Study between Porous Coating and Uncoating in Superolateral Portion of the Femoral Stem
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1996;31(5):968-974
The authors analyzed clinical and radiographic results of the 87 cases which had done THRA with porous coated femoral stem followed up more than 2 years to study the difference of clinical and radiologic findings between the absence (group 1 ; 53 cases) and presence(group 2 ; 34 cases) of the porous coating in superolateral portion of the femoral stem. The following results were obtained : 1. Harris hip scores were improved 34.4 points from 56.5 points preoperatively to 90.9 points postoperatively in group Ι, and 32.7 points from 61 points preoperatively to 93.7 points postoperatively in group 2. The clinical results of the group 1 were Excellent in 45 cases, Good in 5 cases and Fair in 3 cases, and clinical result of the group 2 were Excellent in 33 cases and Good in 1 case. 2. The changes of femoral stem angle were below 2 degrees in 7 cases, above 2 degrees in 2 cases in group 1, and below 2 degrees in 5 cases, but not found more than 2 degrees of change of the femoral stem angle in group 2. 3. The osteolysis around femoral stem were 15 cases(28%) in Group 1, and 5 cases(15%) in Group 2. Diffuse osteolysis were 3 cases in Group 1, but was not observed in Group 2. 4. The vertical subsidence more than 2 mm was 3 cases in group 1, but was not observed in group 2. 5. The stable femoral stem were 51 cases in group 1, and 34 cases in group 2. The unstable femoral stem were 3 cases in group 1, but was not observed in group 2. Above results suggest that the porous coating in the superolateral portion of the femoral stem showed better results in radiologic and clinical findings in short term follow up.

Hypertensive encephalopathy is characterized by an acute, severe rise in blood pressure associated with headache, nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, and focal neurologic deficits, and rapid improvement after control of blood pressure. An eight-year old boy had been admitted with symptoms of red urine, fever, headache, convulsion, and visual blurring of vision. Blood pressure was 140/90mmHg, and CSF exam revealed WBC 8/mm3, glucose 83mg/dL, protein 106mg/dL. Serum C3 was 8mg/dL, C4 17mg/dL, ASO 1,024 Todd units. Brain CT showed non specific findings, however, MRI revealed symmetric high signal intensity lesions on T2WI over the parieto-occipital areas bilaterally. These lesions had been completely resolved on the following MRI 4 weeks later.

In this study, clinical effectiveness of Pharmacia CAP system for determination of allergen specific IgE was evaluated depending on the results of Bencard skin prick tests in 100 atopic and 18 nonatopic asthmatics. The Pharmacia CAP specific IgE positive rates were higher as the SPT grades were increased : negative (n=623) (17.8%); + (n=81) (34.6%); 2+ (n=223) (56.5%); 3+ (n=106) (70.8%); and 4+/-< (n=127)3+ (92.1%), respectively. The overall concordant rate between Bencard SPT and Pharmacia CAP system was 81.7% with range of 70.7~92.1%. The Overall sensitivity of Pharmacia CAP system was 80.7%. The sensitivities for 10 allergens, which ranged from 57.5% to 100 %, were as followed; D.pteronyssinus (96.1%), D.farinae (96.7%), cat dander (61.5%), cockroach (65.2%), Aspergillus fumigatus (57.1%), ragweed (62.5%), mugwort (75.0%), Meadow fescue (100%), birch (62.4%), and oak (80.0%), respectively. Overall specificity of Pharmacia CAP system was 82.2%. The specificity of CAP system in nonatopic subjects (n=18, 160 test) was 94.4% which was quite different with the 77.6% of atopic subjects (n=100, 463 test). SPT A/H ratios were significantly correlated with Pharmacia CAP specific IgE concentration (KU/L) in D.pteronyssinus (r=0.520, p<0.001), D.farinae (r=0.490, p<0.001), A.fumigatus (r=0.315, p<0.01), mugwort (r=0.210, p<0.05), ragweed (r=0.213, p<0.05), birch (r=0.232, p<0.05), M.fescue (r=0.410, p<0.001). But, in cockroach (r=0.192, p<0.1), cat dander and oak pollen, SPT A/H ratios were not correlated with the concentration of specific IgE. These results suggest that Pharmacia CAP system is useful for etiologic evaluation of immediate hypersensitivity and quantitative evaluation of specific IgE in atopic asthma.

Journal of Asthma, Allergy and Clinical Immunology 1998;18(2):232-242
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: House dust mites have been known as the most important allergens in respiratory allergic disease. Since environmental factors may have influences on the pathogenesis of allergic disease, the study using Korean house dust mites for immune and biologic reactions in house dust mite-sensitive allergic disease is considered as significant. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We made two in-house allergenic extracts of Korean house dust mites (D. farinae and D. pteronpsssinus) and performed this study for the allergen standardization by in vivo methods and for the evaluation of the reliabilities for clinical applications. RESULT: As a results of biologic standardization using skin prick test teachnique, the activity of 1: 1,500w/v of D. farinae extract was estimated 1,000 biology unit(BU), concentration that elicits a wheal of the same size as that of histamine dihydrochloride 1mg/ml. The activity of 1: 1,000w/v of D. pteronyssinus was condiered as 1,000BU. The activity of 1:100w/v of both D. farinae and D. pteronpssiuns extracts were considered as 100,000 Allergy Unit(AU), based on intradermal skin testing of 30 subjects with strong sensitive reaction. The concordant rates between results of skin prick test done with 5,000BU/ml concentration of in-house allergenic extracts and thoae with the commercially available allergen(Bencard Co., UK) were 84.6% and 81.0% for D. farinae and D. pteronpssinus, respectively. The wheal erythema size and A/H ratios induced by in-house extracts were significantly correlated with those induced by Bencard allergen. CONCLUSION: This results suggest that in-house extracts of the whole bodies of two house dust mites have good allergenic activities in vivo. It is considered to be clinically useful and reliable allergenic extracts.

A 23-year-old woman had solar urticaria that was activated by visible light and UVA, but the intensity of the urticarial reaction of visible light was more pronounced than that of UVA. The results of passive and reverse passive transfer studies were negative, We report a case of solar urticaria which is characterized by overlapping features of 60th type Il and Il[ in the classification of Harber.
