Growth acceleration following femoral shaft fracture occasionally results in a significant leg-length inequality with limp. The ability to predict subsequent overgrowth would enable the surgeon to compensate for growth acceleration by providing the appropriate overriding of the fragments before the time union. The purpose of this study was to establish principles which would aid in predicting over growth. Between 1972 May and 1983 September, 115 inward patients who were 16 years old or the younger were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of Hanyang University Hospital. In these cases, we analysed the causes of fractures, associated injury and methods of treatment. And also, by use of mentgenogram, evaluated on site, shape and degree of overriding of fractures. And then, the degree of overgrowth of bone was compared with unaffected site and analized by Bell Tompson's split orthoroentgenogram. 1. The average tibial overgrowth after fracture of femoral shaft is 2.2 mm in length. 2. The average femoral overgrowth after fracture of femoral shaft is 9.4 mm in length.

The human trachea is normally lined by a pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium where ciliated, goblet, intermediate and basal cells are mainly represented. However the fetal tracheal epithelium was found to be composed of ciliated, non-ciliated and basal cells. The present study was designed to characterize the development of ciliated cells in the fetal trachea at mid (19 weeks) and last (32 weeks) trimester of gestation. At 19 weeks of gestation, the tracheal epithelium, 35 µm in height, was composed of surface, intermediate and basal layers. The surface cells were subdivided into ciliated, immature ciliated, non-ciliated, granule containing and goblet cells. The ciliated cells covered approximately half of the luminal surface area. The immature ciliated cells contained basal bodies, but the apical membrane was not invested with cilia. The granule containing cells contained numerous dense granules, 0.3-0.7 µm in diameter, in the apical cytoplasm. The goblet cells contained less electron dense granules, 1-2 µm in diameter, in the apical cytoplasm. The cells in intermediate layer were relatively undifferentiated and contained poorly developed organelles. Submucosal gland were well differentiated and were composed of the mucous and serous cells. At 32 weeks of gestation, the tracheal epithelium, 50µm in height, was also composed of surface, intermediate and basal layer. The surface cells were composed of ciliated, non-ciliated and goblet cells. The ciliated cells, dominant type of surface cells, were subdivided into mitochondria-rich cells (type I) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum-rich cells (type II). The non-ciliated cell were of three subtypes : mitochondria-rich cells (type A), glycogen and microfilament-containing cells (type B) and cells with bulging apical surface into the lumen (type C). Small granule containing cell appeared in the basal layer. These cells contained clear vesicles, 50 ㎚m in diameter, and dense granules, 100-300 ㎚m in diameter. Submucosal gland were well developed and consisting of mucous, serous and myoepithelial cells. These results indicate that the cell populations of the tracheal epithelium at late stage of pregnancy have essential features similar to those of adult. and show that the different steps of ciliogenesis could be identified.

OBJECT: Pre-ALL is a very rare preteukemic state, which percedes acute lymphocytic leukemia, while MDS(pre-ANLL), usually the well-known type of preleukemic state, precedes acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Initially it shows transient pancytopenia without any evidence of leukemia in bone marrow findings, followed by acute lymphocytic leukemia after recovery from pancytopenia of a short period within weeks or months. We report a case with pre-ALL in childhood. CASE: A 15-month-old male baby was admitted with the complaints of fever and cough for 5 days and pallor for 2 weeks prior to admission. On admission, CBC showed pancytopenia without any evidence of leukemia, which was recovered spontaneously in a short period, and then was followed by acute lymphocytic leukemia of CALLA negative, early pre-B cell type. During antileukemic chemotherapy, he had suffered from severe bacterial infections and was finally died of sepsis 8 months after first admission. CONCLUSION: We report a case of pre-ALL in childhood, which was preceded by CALLA negative, early pre-B cell ALL, with a review of the literatures, briefly.

Fractures of the neck of the femur have always presented great challenges to orthopedic surgeons and still remain as one of the unsolved fracture as far as treatment and results are concerned. With life expectancy increasing with each decade, becoming more and more patients suffering from femoral neck fractures and their sequelae. The objoct of this study is to observe the relationship between the clinical results and the degree of displacement of fracture, degree of osteoporosis and duration between injury and operation in femoral neck fractures treated with multiple pin fixation. The author clinically analyzed 56 patients of the femoral neck fractures treated with closed reduction and multiple Knowles pinning followed by more than 1 year at Korea University Hospital from January 1986 to December 1991. There were 20 male and 36 female. The age of patients were ranged from 32 to 88 years(average:65.1 years) and most commonly occurred in 7th decade (23cases,41%). The most common cause was slip down(44 cases;79%). The most common type of fracture was stage III (48%) following to Gardens classification. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Union occurred in 49 cases(88%). 2. Among fifty-six cases, five cases(9%) of avascular necrosis, two cases(4%) Of non-union, two cases(4%) of malunion and one case of posttraumatic arthritis were occurred. 3. The functional results by Lunceford criteria were excellent in 30 cases(53% ), good in 13 cases(23%), fair in 5 cases(10%) and poor in 8 cases(14%). 4. Unsatisfactory results were noted in Garden stage II or IV, osteoporosis below Singh index 3 and delayed treatment over 1 week. Above results suggest that multiple Knowles pinning in femoral neck fractures offers high union rate and low complication rate, and so is also one of salvaging method of femoral head.
