Thermography is a sensitive and reliable method for diagnosis of radiculopathy. Skin temperature alterations of the involved dermatome named thermatone are diagnostic for sensory root involvement in radiculopathy which can be demonstrated by thermography. Digital infrared thermographic imaging system using computer is development and could measure thermal difference more exactly without hazards or discomforts to patient. Authors present 186 cases of thermographic evaluation in herniated lumbar disc disease by digital infrared thermographic imging system and the results are evaluated with literature review.

We had experienced 2 cases of acute subdural hematoma due to vitaimin K(vit. K) deficiency. They were 44-and 42-day-old. After the adminstration of vit.K1, prolonged prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) were corrected, so the surgical treatment ws performed. We supposed the predisposing factors were breast feeding and unknown hepatic pathology. No complication remained to one infant but the other multiple cerebral infarctions. The etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention are discussed. We insist on neonatal administration of vit. K1 for the prevention of bleeding tendency. If intracranial hemorrhage develops, we must keep in mind that the early neurosurgical intervention may be needed.

3.Triple Osteotomy of the Innominate Bone: Experlence with an adult Paralytie Hip

In the treatment of dislocations and subluxations of the hip in the older children, whether congenital or paralytic, orthopedic surgeons are blessed with a wide variety of commonly used surgical procedures; namely, Salters innominate osteotomy, acetabtloplasties, Pembertons pericapsular osteotomy, shelf operations, Chiaris pelvic displacement osteotomy. and Colonnas capsular arthroplasty. However, with increasing age and soft tissue contractures,these procedures become ineffective, leaving a wide range of age between older children and young adults subject to uncertain or unfavarable prognosis. Steels triple osteotomy (1973) is aimed at coverig this age group, when displacement or in nominate osteotomy is either technically infeasible or likely to fail. It consists of an open reduction with or without soft tissue release and skeletal traction, redirection of the acetabulum to cover the femoral head by osteotonmies of the pelvis that has lost its young cartilagenous resiliency, and preservation and physiological remodelling of the articular cartilage of the acetabulum. We performed Steels osteotomy on a 21-years-old female with a severe paralytic subluxation of the hip associated with pelvic obliquity and paralytized both lower extremities. One and a half year follow-up result was satisfactory with a stable and congruous joint despite paralysis and with the patient walking for the first time in her life.

Phenylepherine HCI widely used as a mydriatic and vasoconstrictor, have been generally considered safe and innocuous. But hypertension caused by instillation of phenylepherine HCI is frequently reported, and even severe systemic adverse reactions, such as myocardial in farction, sudden death etc. are reported, recently. For the purpose of studying alteration of B.P. and systemic adverse reactions that are caused by instillation of phenylephrine HCI. we divided 42 patients into 2 groups; group 1 includes 20 patients who are instilled once a drop of 10% phenylephrine HCI viscous solution into the conjunctival cul-de-sac of bOth eyes, group 2 includes 22 patients who are instilled twice a drop at 2 minute intervals. We observed alteration of B.P. and systemic adverse reactions in both groups, next made a comparative study, and mydriatic effect too. The results was generally there was no severe reaction, but marked increase of B.P. that statistically significant was observed in 3 patients. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups. In mydriatic effect, the significant difference was not observed between the 2 groups or according to the age. When a clinician does its instillation, he should keep possible adverse reactions in mind. and especially in cardiac disease, hypertensjon, aneurysms, advanced arteriosclerosis, infants and the elderly etc., who have much chance of accompanying severe adverse reactions, he should use phenylepherine HCI cautiously. (this time it is desirable that he use low percentage of phenylepherine HCI).

Paederus dermatitis is a linear and self-healing blistering disease of the skin caused by contact with insects belonging to genus Paederus(Coieoptera : Staphylinidae). There have been only a few reports of paederus dermatitis in the southern part of Korea since 1968. We recently experienced a case of paederus dermatitis due to contact by P. fuscipes.

8.2 Cases of Nevus of Ota Associated with Nevus of Ito.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1979;20(1):123-128
The nevus of Ota is a distinctive, mesodermal pigmentation of the facial skin commonly combined with pigmentation of the eye, usually congenital but capable of benign progression. It is usually unilateral, but in the 1st of these 2 cases, pigmentation of the facial skin and the eye was bilateral and associated with pigmentation of the left shoulder and the anterior cervical area(nevus of Ita). In the 2nd of these 2 cases, pigmentation of the eye and the shoulder was bilateral. Pigmentation of the eye accompanies that of sclera in every case, that of conjunctiva, iris and choroid in some case. It accompanies that of optic disc rarely, but in the 1st of these 2 cases, the pigmentation of optic disc was found in both eyes, in the 2nd, in the right eye. We have experienced the above-mentioned 2 cases of nevus of Ota associated with nevus of Ito which accompanied the pigmentation of optic disc, that are rare. We briefly reviewed the literature relating to nevus of Ota and Ito.

Spinal fusion has performed for instability and anatomical reconstruction since 1985 by Barthe. Bone grafts and synthetic materials has been used for spinal fusion, but they have several limitations and complications. Recently a new synthetic polymer B.O.P.(Biocompatible Osteoconductive Polymer) was developed and it overcome the limitations of other materials. The B.O.P. showed no foreign body reaction and gave scaffolding for the osteoconduction and osteointegration. Authors operated 35 cases of spinal fusion with B.O.P. and the results and literature reviews were discussed.
