4.The Effects of Bleopuncture Technique in the Treatment of Warts.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1994;32(3):446-450
BACKGROUND: The warts may promptly return despite being treated with a myriad of destructive methods. The most successful treatment has been the intralesional injection of bleomycin sulfate, but unplessant side effects caused by the difficulty of infiltrating only the wart tissue have limited its use. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine the effects of bleopunciure technique in the treatment of warts. METHODS: We performed a multiple puncture technique using a 25 gauge hypodermic needle to introduce bleomycin hydrochloricle into warts. RESULTS: This technique resulted in elimination of 91.4% of a random series on 105 warts after a single treatment. Recurrence and side effects were not observed during a 1 year follow-up period. CONCLUSION: We experienced a superior technique for introducing Heomycin into the wart, which has resulted in the cure of a signficant number of warts following a sing treatment.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare disease which represents a chronic suppurative and scarring process, affecting the apocrine glands due to persistent bacterial infection and apocrine dysfunction. We have experienced a case of hidradenitis suppurativa, 22-year-old female which involved both axillary region. Diagnosis was established by clinical characteristicsymptoms, histopathological findings and bacteriological examinations.

6.The Effect for Intracranial Pressure during Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation.
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 1985;2(1):45-51
It is well known that intracranial pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are increased by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia, and it may be very dangerous in neurosurgical patients who had increased ICP. Therefore, this study was performed to know the range of ICP increase during induction of the conventional general anesthesia with intubation following thiopental and succinylchohne injections. Intracranial pressure and MAP were measured in 13 patients who underwent craniotomy. All the patients were monitored cerebral epidural ICP and intraarterial pressure preoperatively. The results were as follow: 1. Intracranial pressure was increased of 7.1±7.23 mmHg. 2. Arterial pressure was increased of 43.5±25.46 mmHg. 3. Cerebral perfusion pressure was increased of 33.3±27.53 mmHg. It is stressed that certain procedures are necessary to prevent from further increase of ICP due to induction of general anesthesia in patients with increased ICP.

7.Non-Union of Greater Trochanter Following Low Friction Torque Arthroplasly (LFTA)
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1973;8(3):217-223
This paper is intended to draw attention to the cases of non-union of reattached greater trochanter after LFTA for hip disorders with an our short experience of this subject. Previous information on this subject is scanty. Charnley mentioned on his paper of the long time result of LFTA of the hip for non-union of the great trochanter was reported in 4.2% of 379 hips followed for a minium of four years. Of these, a quarter went on to separation of the bony fragment. With his report, wire breakage occured in 28 cases in the presence of a united trochanter, a phenmenon which results from loops of the wire passing through soft tissues, out side the bone, and becoming fatigued by repeated bending movements. However, he pointed that the clinical result does not seems to be impaired althrough such patients occasionally complain of a feeling of insecurity when weight bearing. Among our series, two cases of non-union of the greater trochanter, after LFTA, is reported. Those of two patient were bilateral hip disorders who has indicated both hip total hip replacement. But we have done only one hip each because of inevitable patients physical conditions during the surgery. Presumably, the principal cause of non-union appeared to be excessive force on the operated one hip. The type of internal fixation for reattachment of the greater trochanter was investigated, six types which we used in this series, two separate knots for security of wire breakage after Bechtol resulted satisfactory union of the detached greater trochanter. A case of detached trochanter for revision which we used original Charnley technique with additional figure of eight wire fixation for re-enforcement. Eventually, we agree that advantage of bilateral total hip replacement at the same operative session.

8.Classification and Management of Epiphyseal Injury
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1983;18(3):470-476
Injuries involving epiphyseal plate is important because of special problems in diagnosis, management and tl later complications of serious disturbance of growth which may be predictable and preventable. We revieviewed 40 cases of epiphyseal injuried in 35 patients, managed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nation Medical Center from Jan. 1975 to Dec. 1981. The longest follow up was 4 ywars and 6 months and the shortest, year, the average being 2 years. The results were as follows: 1. The incidence of epiphyseal injuries was 35 patients in 211 patients of padiat.c fractures. 2. There were 29 males and 6 females. 3. The causes were falling down accident, slipping down accident, impinging injury, direct blow and traff accident in order 4. Roentgenographically, 23 cases were Type II of Salter & Harris classification, 8 cases were Type IV, cases were Type I, 2 cases were Type III, and 1 case was Type V. 5. Epiphyseal Injuries were found with order of decreasing frequency of distal radius, distal humerus, dist femur, phalanges, distal tibia, proximal humerus, distal fibula and proximal humerus. 6. The methods of treatment were C/R & 'cast immobilization, C/R & K-wire fixation, 0/R & K-wire fixation and C/R & screw fixation. 7. Complications were found in 2 cases of angular deformity in Type IV injury, 1 case of shortening in Type injury, and 1 case of angular deformity in Type V injury.

Of the bronchographic findings of 408 patients, performed in our hospital for recent 5 years, 108 cases showed definite bronchial obstruction, and 61 cases of those were selected and their obstructive findings were evaluated. All that not confirmed were abandoned. For evaluation of the reliability of 9 bronchographic obstruction signs onappplying to diagnose malignant or benign pulmonary diseases, each sign was identified and applied to each of the61 confirmed cases. In addition, obstructed bronchi, distance of obstruction from the bifurcation site, and thedirection of meniscus, if peresent, were evaluated. The reuslts were follows; 1. The most frequent cause ofbronchial obstruction was lung cancer (59.0%), and that of the benign obstruction was pulmonary tuberculosis(13.1%). 2. Amputation, asymmetric narrowing, thumbprint indentation, rat-tail narrowing and encasement signs werethe most accurate signs of malignancy and were practically diagnostic ones, 3, The most frequent sign in lungcancer was sharp cut off one, but it could be seen in lung abscess and in unresolved pneumonia, too. 4. Circumferential symmetric narrowing and regular concavity with a small central profection signs were specific onesto benignancy. 5. The most frequent obstruction sign in benign lung disease was gradual tapering sign, but it alsocould be seen inbronchogenic epidermoid and alveolar cell carcinoma. 6. Of all bronchial obstructions, 55.4% occurred at lobar bronchus and 77.4% of those were caused by lung cancer. 7. 77.2% of those obstruction which located within 3 times distance of the bronchial diameter at the nearest proximal bifurcation site, were lungcancer, but 75.0% of those located at over 3 times distance were benign pulmonary diseases. 8. There were nocorrelation of the direction of the meniscus at the obstructing and in differential diagnosis between benign andmalignant pulmonary diseases.

Reversible posterior leukonecephalopathy syndrome RPLS), a neurologie disorder associated with evidence of posterior cerebral edema on neuroimaging studies, has been described in both adults and children. Conditions predisposing to RPLS include malignant hypertension, renal dysfunction, toxemia of pregnancy, interferon therapy, and the use of immunosuppressive agents. When associated with acute hypertension, RPLS typically occurs concurrently with the fulminant clinical syndrome of hypertensive encephalopathy We describe occipital lobe seizures, in the setting of only moderate elevations of blood pressure, as the major clinical manifestation of RPLS.
