Fibrous dysplasis is a condition characterized by the metastatic replacement of the medullary component of predominantly long bone with fibrous tissues. This change is responsible for the characteristic features, including bony abnormalities, pathologic fractures and pain. The monostotic form of the fibrous dysplasia occurs more freguent than the polyostotic form. The monostotic fibrous dysplasia does not exhibit the laboratory abnormality, extra-skeletal manifestation or the endocrinopathies associated writh polyostotic disease. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia occurs most frequently in the metaphysis of long bones and the ribs. Only the seven previous cases of vertebral involvement (three cervical, one thoracic, three lumbar spine) in monostotic fibrous dysplsia have been reported. Authors experienced a case of monosotic fibrous dysplasia of the seventh cervical vertebrate, so we report a case with the review of the seven previous reported cases of the monosotic fibrous dysplasia of the spine.

BACKGROUND: Although drug eruption refers to a common dermatologieal condition, there are numerous setbacks in the diagnosis. In addition there are no annual average prevalence rates of drug eruptions according to time sequence in Korea. OBJECTIVE: This study attempts to detme the clinical features and causative drugs of drug eruptions, the diagnostic value of various skin tests and to evaluate the dome,stic annual average prevalence rate of drug eruptions according to time sequence. METHOD: 270 patients with drug eruptions were reviewed clinically. In 103 patients, intradennal, patch and scratch-patch tests were performed using suspected drugs. The annual average prevalence rate of drug eruptions was calculated from 10 different general hositals in Korea. RESULT: Exanthematous eruptions(49.3), fixed drug eruptions(30.1), and urticaria(10.0%) were the common types of drug eruptions. The common causative agents were antibiotics/antimicrobials, antipyretics(NSAIDs, and CNS depressants. 52 patients out of 103 had positive results after at least one skin test with suspected drugs. CONCLUSION: In our study, we were ahle to obtain somewhat meaningful results basnl on data from the combination of various skin tests. As a result, physicians need to prescrible drugs with care.

Suppurative arthritis of the hip joint is a rare disease in adult, but the disease is a serious condition to be left many complications. So the most important point in management of the suppurative arthritis of the hip joint is the early diagnosis and treatment. Recently we have experienced two cases of suppurative arthritis of the hip joint which was occurred in coma patients. Difficulties of the suppurative arthritis of the hip joint in coma patient are the detection and management. The supposed cause of the suppurative arthritis of the hip joint is probably a puncture of the repeatead femoral puncture.

The authors did clinical analysis for 37 cases, ranging from 5 to 13 year old of age and following result obtained. 1. In group I partial involved type had brightful prognosis even in the neglected the cases. 2. Ischeal brace did not give any help to group II & III but in group I, it gave some help to the prognosis. 3. In untreated cases of old age group developed early arthritic changes. 4. The inital radiological bony changes in early L-C-P. cases was the demineralization of the subchondral area and subsequently subohondral vaccum phenomena followed.

BACKGROUND: To provide some fundamental physiological basis for the physical training of pilots to improve orthostatic intolerance, cardiorespiratory responses to the symptom-limited maximal exercise loading were studied in pilots and non-pilots, and the results were compared. METHOD: Cardiorespiratory reponses to the symptom-limited maximal exercise loading by Bruce protocol was studied in 11 pilots and 11 matched controls (non-pilots). RESULTS: Comparisons of various data at maximal exercise in the pilots with those in the controls revealed that RR, VE/M2, VE/VO2, VE/VCO2, VT/VC and VE/MVV as well as HR, VO2, O2 pulse and AT showed no significant difference. CONCLUSION: The fact that the aerobic power in the pilots is not superior to that in the controls seems to emphasisze the necessity of aerobic endurance training along with muscular strength training to improve orthostatic tolerance of pilots flying modern high-performance aircrafts.

Recent immunological investigations have demonstrated that the patients with psoriasis have various humoral and cellular immune abnormalities, such as increased serum IgG, IgE and secretory IgA, anti-IgC factor in psoriatic lesions, in peripheral blood lymphocytes and in serum, rhumatoid-like factors in IgA and IgG classes of immunoglobulins, antinuclear antibodies (ANA; reacting with the basal cell nuclei of uninvolved skin., anti-stratum corneum antibody and complements in psoriatic scales, immuoglobulin and complement bearing polymorphonuclear leucocytes in the Muro microabscess. These abnormal findings are enough to suggest an autoimmune mechanism in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Several investigators have also reported the results of T cell enumeration in the peripheral blood in psoriatic patients. However, the results are not in general agreement,. Thee present study was undertaken to clarify any abnormality in the proportion of T cells in the peripheral blood in psoriatic patients. Forty-one patients with active psoriasis registered at the Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Hospital entered this study from May, 1979 through April, 1980. Twelve healthy medical and paramedical personel the comprised the control group. Active and total T cells were enumerated by the method of E-rosetting technique, and the results were as follows. 1, in normal controls, the active and total T celIs identified as E rosetteforming cells accounted for 61.6+7.4% and 68.1+8.9% of the total lymphocyte population, respectively. 2. In patients with psoriasis, significant decrease of active T cells (54. 2,+11.0%,p<0.005) and total T cells (62.2+11.2%, p<0.05) was observed. More profound reduction of T cells was noted in patients with wide spread psoriasis than those with limited extent.

Benzoyl peroxide has been known to have bacteriostatic activity against Corynebacterium acnes and to have comedolytic action in patients with acne vulgaris. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Renoxal, a 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion, in patients with acne vulgaris. A total of 35 patients entered this study at the Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Hospital during the five months period from March to July, 1978. All patients were instructed to apply Benoxal on their affected sites once or twice daily; and the number of lesions on three fixed areas were counted before and every week for four weeks after the treatrnent. Two female patients stopped the application due to developrnent of contact dermatitis to Benoxal The results observed in the 33 patients were as follows: 1. The percentage decrease in total number of lesions in four weeks after treatment was 51.1% 2. Closed and open comedones were gradually eliminated; and their numbers were decreased in four weeks after treatment by 45. 8% and 55. 3% respectively. The papules were decreased. by 59. 1 @2 after the first week of treatment, but showed. a transient lag around tbe second week and then marked 61. 5% in four weeks after treatment. 3. Observed side effects included burning sensation,(3 cases), tightness (3 cases), itching sensation (2 cases) and scaling (1 case). All were tolerable without any specific measure or discontinuance of the application. The authors concluded througb this experiment that Benoxal (5% benzoyl peroxide lotion) is a very effective local therapeutic agent in the treatment of acne vulgaris patients.
