The clinical observations regarding cutaneous manifestations of in-and outpatients with diabetes mellitus was performed in the Diabetic Clinic, Seoul National University Hospital during the period of 11 months from April, 1979 to March, 1980. The number of patients were total 525, 268 in male and 257 in female. The average age of patients was 51. 1 year-old. Results were as follows, 1. In the 525 patients, 270 patients (51. 1%) revealed various cutaneous manifestations. 2. There were statistical significant differences in sex distributions of infection, pruritus, shin spots, rubeosis and bullosis diabeticorum. 3. Systemic complications sush as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and hypertension were more frequently observed in the patients with skin microangiopathy than with infection or pruritus. 4. There were not any correlations between fasting blood sugar and cutaneous manifestations

In the orthopaedic field, some elective surgeries such as joint replacement, spinal surgery and limb salvage procedures for musculoskeletal tumors frequently need various amounts of blood transfusions. However, homologous transfusion occasionally results in various side effects, such as allergic reaction, febrile reaction, and the transmission of infectious diseases such as syphilis, hepatitis and AIDS, ctc. Recently, these complications especially in elective surgery might result in medicolegal or social problems. Risks from transfusions in elective surgery can be minimized with prebanked autologous transfusion. To evaluate the necessity of prehanked autogenous transfusion, fifty five patients who had unilateral hybrid total knee arthroplasty (noncemented at the femoral side and cemented at the tibial and patellar sides) were operated on by the same surgeon from April 199S to July 1997 and had autogenous shed blood transfusion were evaluated for postoperative blood loss, amount of autogenous shed blood, amount of transfusion, hemoglobin and hematocrit. The results were as follows: 1. The distribution of preoperative hemoglobin was from 9.6g/dL to 16.5g/dL (average: 1.8g/dL). 2. The distribution of the amount of blood loss for three days postoperatively was from 156ml to 2001 ml (average: 798ml). 3. The distrihution of the amount of transfusion of autogenous shed blood was from 30ml to 600ml (average: 448ml). 4. There were two patients who had febrile reactions above 38 after transfusion of autogenous shed blood. 5. Forty-six patient(84%) had a homologous transfusion and the average amount of transfusion was 1.9 pint. 6. Total amount of homologous transfusion was decreased according to the increased amount of hemoglobin and the amount of transfusion was statistically decreased above the level of I 3g/dL(Students t-test, P=0.0005). 7. There were no significant differences in the amount of homologous transfusion between age, sex, type of disease, type of implants. In conclusion, most of our patients(84%) needed homologous blood transfusion in unilateral hyhrid total knee arthroplasty and the amount of transfusion decreased in patients who had hemoglobin above 13.0g/dL. So we recommend preparing banked autogenous hlood preoperatively in patients who have a lower hemoglobin level in unilateral hyhrid total knee arthroplasty.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis and synovial chondromatosis are known as a poup of interrelated tumorous disorders that involve the lining of the joints, hursa and tendon sheath. Pigmented villonodular synovitis consists of proliferatin synovia1 tissue containing histiocytes, librohlasts, multinucleated giant cells, and capillaries that can destroy dense fihrous tissue, form soft tissue masses, and invade bone. Synovial chondromatosis consists of hyaline cartilage nodules within the synovium and synovial joint cavities, develop multiple loose fragments of cartilage within the joint. They may represent a reactive inflammatory process or henign neoplasm and usually occur in latge synovial joints, including the knee, hip and ankle. There are some reports stating that pigmented villonodular synovitis has coexisted with synovial chondromatosis. but none have reported that they occurred simultaneously in a large single joint. This is a report on a diagnosed and arthroscopicully treated pigmented villonodular synovitis and synovial chondromatosis that occurred simultaneously in the same ankle joint.

In 1971, for purpose of reduction of peak stress occuring in cement and trabecular bone of the acetabulum, Harris reported a series of metal-backed acetabular components with removable polyethylene liners that could be replaced if excessive wear occured. Modular designs of hip prostheses have become popular recently, but they introduce the risk of disassembly of the components postoperatively. And introduce of loosening and infection of femoral or acetabular components by debris of polyethylene liner. We report a case of mechanical disassembly of polyethylene liner in cementless metal backed cup, and review previously reported articles.
