Chronic complication of diving and working in compressed air is dysbaric osteonecrosis. Dysbaric osteonecrosis could be diagnosed by simple bone x-ray, in the case of exposure history to dysbaric atmosphere. The case is 44 years old man who worked as a shell fish diver for 20 years. He was exposed dysbaric atmosphere during diving. He had bone necrosis in both femur head, both distal femur and proximal tibia. He had multiple attacks of decompression sickness. Other causes of bone necrosis are ruled out. We conclude that diver's bone necrosis is dysbaric osteonecrosis.

A total 48 cases of myelography using Metrizamide were performed between August 1981 and July 1983 at the department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kwangju Christian Hospital. Of these cases, H.N.P was 26, tuberculous spondylitis 16, spondylolisthesis 4, and multiple sclero-sis 2 cases. The advantages of this study were as folows: 1. Complications were minimal in most of the cases except a slight headache. 2. Large amount of infusion was possible. 3. Rootlet was clearly seen. 4. Removal of dye was not necessary. 5. It gave a good contrast for the radiologic study.

Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis is a benign ossifying diathetic disorder characterized by hyperostosis and soft tissue ossification of the clavicles, anterior portion of the first ribs, and manubrium, with variable hyperostosis or ankylosis in the spine and sacroiliac joints. A review of the literature and our own case describes the clinical findings and its characteristic features in RI, CT, and plain film.

Chung-Ang University Penile Squamous Carcinoma cell line (CUPE-1) was established from a lymph node metastasis of human penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). CUPE-1 grew as adherent monolayer with a defined doubling time of 24 hours. CUPE-1 showed epithelial characterization on inverted and light microscopy and showed well developed desmosomes and tonofilaments or electron microscopy. CUPE preserved cytokeratin on immunohistochemical staining. CUPE expressed the receptor of epidermal growth factor (EGF), which stimulated the proliferation of CUPE-1 CUPE-1 showed strong tumorigenecity and/or metastatic ability when subcutaneously and intraperitoneally implanted into the nude mouse. CUPE-1 produced tumor associated antigen-4 (TA-4), a tumor marker for SCC of uterine cervix, both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the serum level-of TA-4 were specifically increased in patients with penile SCC. These results indicate that CUPE-1 retains the characteristics of human penile SCC and could provide an excellent model for the basic research and development of new therapeutic modalities of penile cancer, and that TA-4 may become a valuable tumor marker of penile SCC.

The extensive knowledge of accurate anatomical morphology and acceptable proportion of the eyelid and orbit should be needed for plastic surgeons. The normal morphological and functional values of eyelids and orbits are variable according to races, sex and ages, and there are a few articles concerning them in Korea yet. The author measured eigt items of morphological and functional values of eyelids in Koreans and statistically analyzed them in 498 individuals including 234 males and 264 females. We divided them into nine age-related groups and measured the values. Especially, we subdivided 10 to 19 year-old group into three subgroup concretely because most of the values in the 10 to 19 year-old group reach the peak level of growth. The mean values in adults were recorded as follows: The horizontal dimension of the palpebral fissure was 27.0 +/- 1.8 mm in males and 26.8 +/- 1,7 mm in females and the vertical dimension of the palpebral fissure was 8.0 +/- 1.0 mm in female. The slant of the palpebral fissure was 7.9 +/- 2.4 degrees in males and 8.8 +/- 2.3 degrees in females and the height of the opened upper eyelid was 12.4 +/- 2.4 mm in males and 12.0 +/- 1.9 mm in females. The height of double fold in closed eye was 6.6 mm in males and 6.5 mm in femals and the intercanthal distance was 38.4 +/- 3.0 mm in males and 38.2 +/- 2.8 mm in females. The interpupillary distance was 64.6 +/- 2.9 mm in males and 63.6 +/- 2.9 mm in females. A double fold was seen in 36.1% of Korean. The average height of the double fold in closed eye was about 6.5 mm. The epicanthus present in 58.6% of Korean eyes and the most commom type was epicantus tarsalis. The growth of eyelids reached the peak level at teenager in a great portion. After the peak level, the changing pattern of eyelids could be divided into 3 groups; the first one was increasing more, the second was stationary, and the third was decreasing gradually. The peak levle of growth reached at 10 to 13-year-old in the vertical dimension of the palpebral fissure, at 14 to 16-year-old in the intercanthal distance, at 17 to 19-year-old in the horizontal dimension of the palpebral fissure.

BACKGROUND: Evening primrose oil(EPO) is a rich source of cis-linoleic acid and gammalinolenic acid(GLA) and has been used as a therapeutic agent in various skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suppressive effect of EPO on murine contact sensitivity. METHODS: BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups, positive control, experimental and negative control groups: the positive control group represents a group of mice which were sensitized and challenged with DNFB, the experimental group represents EPO-pretreated positive control group and the negative control group represents a group of mice which were challenged only. The changes of ear thickness were measured, and H & E staining and immunohistochemical staining for ICAM-1 expression of ear skin were performed to evaluate the histological changes of each group. RESULTS: The Pretreatment of mice with EPO resulted in suppression of contact sensitivity by more than 82%. On H & E staining, only a mild inflammatory reaction was observed in the dermis. Also ICAM-1 expression of keratinocytes, the intensity of the staining was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with positive group. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that EPO was able to suppress the induction of contact sensitivity.

9.Mediastinal Lipoblastoma in a Child: A Case Report.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 2001;44(3):381-384
Lipoblastoma is a benign tumor which frequently arises in the limbs but rarely in the mediastinum, and is common in children under the age of three years. We report a case of mediastinal lipoblastoma in a 27-month-old female child complaining of dyspnea. Plain radiography demonstrated a huge well-defined mass in the me-diastinum, while CT scanning revealed a soft tissue mass with an internal hypodense portion. When radi-ographic images in children under the age of three reveal a soft tissue mass with a fat component in the mediastinum, especially where there is no calcification or a cystic component, lipoblastoma should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Hailey-Hailey disease is a rare hereditary dermatosis that begins in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life. The skin lesion is characterized by a localized, recurrent eruption of small vesicles on an erythematous base. It courses remissions and exacerbations. It seldom begins in early childhood, and main treatment modalities are conservative ones. We report a case of Hailey-Hailey disease that began on a 7-month old infant and improved by surgical treatment. In according to review of the previous reports, it is probably the earliest onset age and it is may be the first case which was treated with surgery in Korea.
