Fifty seven consecutive trochanteric hip fracture treated with Smith-Petersen nail and Thornton plate who were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, St. Marys Hospital Catholic Medical College, during the period of January 1969 to September 1975 were reviewed. This covered a period of six years and nine months. Of the fifty seven cases treated with this method, only thirty four cases were able to be analysed completely. Of these thirty four cases, in two cases the nail penetrated to the hip joint, four cases showed a loosening bolt of the S-P nail, one case involved a delayed union and three cases resulted in malunion, showing a total failure rate of 29.4%. In addition, four cases of intertrochanteric hip fractures of children were reviewed. 1) The sex ratio was 2.1:1 (male to female). Those in their fifth decade showed the highest incidence at 26.3%, next came those in their third decade. 2) The most common cause of the trochanteric hip fractures was traffic accidents (57.9%), other cause were slipping or falling down, direct trauma and pathological fractures. 3) The ratio of left trochanteric hip fractures to right was 7:6. 4) In the group which received external immobilization with Buck's extension skin traction and delayed weight bearing method, the results were better than that group to which external immobilization was not applied and early weight bearing was allowed. 5) The group which received the external immobilization and delayed weight bearing method showed a total failure rate of 21.8% 6) The group to which external immobilization was not applied and early weight bearing was allowed a total failure rate of 64%.

The fracture of femoral head with concommittant hip dislocation is very rare and the choice of its treatment is still controversial. Various methods of treatment such as Judet prosthesis (Palin, 1954), mold arthroplasty (Lipscomb, 1958), Thompson endomedullary prosthesis (Burman, 1958), and bone peg fixation have been adopted without much success, but Sarmiento and Laird (1973) recently reported a case of femoral head fracture that was successfully treated with screw fixation of the fracture fragments. The authors present a case of femoral head fracture combined with dislocation of ipsilateral hip that was treated successfully by the Sarmientos screw fixation method. A two year follow-up indicated a normal hip function, restored without sequellae. The authors consider this method very valuable as a first step treatment.

The combined congenital malformation of partiaI or complete absence of the pectoralis main muscle and webbing of the fingers, on the same side, was first described by Poland in 1841. The syndrome is not hereditary and is of unknown origin and is affects male more frequently than female. The clinical features are variable but always include congenital aplasia of the stemorostal head of the pectoralls major muscle and syndactyly. The syndectely should be treated by the age of one year and complened before the preschool age. A case of Poland's syndrome is presented with a brief review of literatures.

We are reporting a case of molluscum contagiosum in a 3-year-old boy who showed a good response to diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) immunotherapy. The lesions were multiple, 2 to 7mm in size, centrally umbilicated, normal skin-colored papules of 7 months' duration which were distributed on the penoscrotal area, extremities and trunk. In spite of several treatments using extraction and curettage, new lesions developed continuously. The patient was sensitized with 0.1ml of 1% DPCP solution in acetone on his right shoulder and there-after challenged with solution of varying concentrations (0.05 to 0.1%) on his left shoulder once or twice a week to maintain a mild eczema. Clinical improvement was noted 1 week after sensitization and almost all of the lesions cleared after 8 week's treatment.

BACKGROUND: Various kinds of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi have been isolated from the house dust, the closest environment of human beings. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose is to investigate the distribution of yeasts in house dust. METHODS: House dust was sampled from 22 families in Taegu and 56 in a rural town in Kyungpook province for 2 months from May to June, 1992. It was cultivated for years on the media containing cycloheximide (500mg/L) RESULTS: Among 78 families, 56 (71.8%) showed positive culture for yeasts in house dut;1 species in 24 (30.8%), 2 species in 19 (24.3%), 3 species in 12 (15.4%) and 4 species in 1(1.3%). Rhodotorula(Rh). Ruora was the most frequently isolated one from 36(46.2%) out of 78 families, followed by Tricosporn(T.) cutaneum 25(32.1%). Candida (C.) albicans 16 (20.5%), Pityrosporum pachydermatis 4 (5.1%) and Torulopsis candida, Cryptococcus laurentii, C. rugosa and C. guillermondii 1 (1.3%), each. CONCLUSION: Rh. rubra, T. cutaneum and C. albicans were the most important yeast species in the houst dust of both rural and raban areas.

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1968;9(4):33-36
The mucoceles are most common cause of proptosis, which is occasionally difficult in evalultion of etiology, and it rarely forms fistula. The mucoce]es involving orbit has been not uncommonly reported in the literature. Recently we experienced three cases of mucoceles Involving orbit. Two cases of it form fistula with cicatrical ectropion of upper eye lid. One case has only proptosis toward down and outside. They were surgically treated without complication, therefore, we report here three cases of mucocele with literature.
