Present trial was carried out to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of oxantel/pyrantel tablets against intestinal nematode infections, and to determine the efficacy of oxantel tablels against Trichuris infection. A total of 34 subjects with the mixed infections were treated with oxantel/pyrantel tablets (100 mg/tablet each) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, and another group of 22 Trichuris infected cases received oxantel pamoate tablets (125 mg/tablet) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg. All stool examinations were done before the treatment and 3 weeks after the treatment. The cellophane thick smear (Kato's technique) and Stoll's dilution egg counting method were employed. The results of the trial were summarized as follows: The cure rates (egg negative conversion rates) and egg reduction rates for oxantel/pyrantel tablets were 85.3 percent and 97 percent in trichuriasis, 100 percent each in ascariasis and ancylostomiasis. The oxantel tablet treated group demonstrated a cure rate of 90.9 percent and an egg reduction rate of 96.3 percent in the treatment of Trichuris. There were no detectable objective and subjective side effects in this trial. Both oxantel/pyrantel and oxantel pamoate tablets were readily accepted and well tolerated.

Fanconi syndrome is a complex of renal tubular dysfunction defined by glycosuria without diabetes, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, bicarbonaturia, uric aciduria, and renal tubular acidosis. It is often associated with hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, rickets and osteomalacia. We have experienced one case of Fanconi syndrome with chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. The patient was a 4 year old and his chief complaints were polyuria, polydipsia, and poor weight gain. There were hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, glycosuria, generalized aminoaciduria and phosphaturia. We report a case of Fanconi syndrome with brief review of the literatures.

The results of the treatment upon total 132 cases of ankle and foot fractures treated during the period from January 1969 to August 1978 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Medical Center have been analysed and reported in this paper. 1. Sex ratio between male and female was 3.7:1. 68 cases (51.5%) cases out of 132 cases were in the age groups of 2nd and 3rd decades. remarkably higher than any other group. 2. 85 cases out of 132 cases were closed fractures and 47 cases were open fractures, but the incidence of the open fracture in higher in the fractures below the metatarsal bones and multiple fractures. 3. 59 cases out of 132 cases were ankle fractures 34 tarsal bone fractures 14 metatarsal bone fractures, 8 phalangeal bone fractures and 20 multiple fractures Accordingly, the incidence of the ankle fracture is higher than other fractures. 4. Ankle fracture was classified in 4 types according to the fracture mechanism (Lauge-Hansen classification). 20 cases out of 59 cases were pronation-abduction type, 15 cases were pronation-external rotation type, 14 cases were supination adduction type and 9 cases were supination-external rotation type. 15 cases out of 59 cases of the ankle fractures were treated by tension band compression internal fixation. The result of this method was much better than other methods. 5. 25 cases out of 35 cases of calcaneal fracture involved subtalar joint according to Rowe classification. 12 cases out of 25 cases of calcaneal fracture involved subtalar joint were Tongue type-C. In the treatment, no relation between restoration tuber angle or Gissane angle and the incidence of complication was obtained. 6. The incidence of the complication, such as secondary oateoarthritis, non union. malunion, occurred higher in the open and multiple fractures than closed and single fractures.

Small round cell tumors such as neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing's tumor, malignant lymphoma and small cell carcinoma are often confused clinically and histologically. To clarify the similarites and differences and to get more information on the histogenesis among the small round cell tumors, we examined histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of ten cases of neuroblastomas, twenty Ewing's tumors, ten embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas and twelve small cell carcinomas in children and young adults. Antibodies against desmin, vimentin, cytokeratin, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, neurofilament, S-100 protein, chromogranin and HBA 71 were used in biotin streptavidin procedures. The results of the immunohistochemical and electron microscopical examinations yielded virtually identical findings in each group as followings. 1) Among the twenty cases of Ewing's tumors, eighteen cases were positive in staining for HBA-71. The staining for HBA-71 was negative in neuroblastoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and small cell carcinoma. 2) Neuroblastomas had marked interdigitating cytoplasmic processes containing many microtubules and dense-core secretory granules, however, they were sparse and rare in Ewing's tumor. 3) Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma showed actin-myosin bundles. According to differentiation, well differentiated rhabdomyosarcoma exhibited Z-band materials and external lamina. 4) Neuroblastoma showed ultrastructural evidence of a neuronal differentiation, but neuronal differentration is a sparse and rare in Ewing's tumor. This ultrastructural feature strengthens the hypothesis that Ewing's tumor is derived not only from an undifferentiated neuroectodermal stem cell but from primitive cell of neuroectodermal origin.

The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of the composite resin cores according to surface treatment, dentin bonding agents, and thermocycling. For this study, 120 extracted premolar teeth were used. Flat occlusal surfaces were prepared with diamond disk, and treated with air-abrasion, acid-etching, combination. The composite resin core was built with Z-100 after application of Scotchbond Multi-Purpose and All-Bond 2. Prepared specimens were thermocycled for 2,000 cycles. Specimens were immersed in 1% methylene blue solution for 24hours at 371C. The microleakage was measured with a inverted metallurgical microscope(BHS313, Olympus, Japan). The following conclusions were drawn from this study 1. The microleakages in the groups treated with air-abrasion and with acid etching were greater than that of the groups treated with combination method before thermocycling(p<0.05), the microleakages of the groups treated with air-abrasion were greater than that of the groups treated with acid-etching and combination method after thermocycling(p<0.05). 2. There were no significant difference between groups using Scotchbond Multi-Purpose and the groups using All-Bond 2. 3. Thermocycling didri t affect the change of microleakage in all cases.
