In order to study species of the Fascioloidae in Korea, a series of morphological and taxonomical studies were carried out and the following results were obtained. Among the species of the Fascioloidae in Pusan area, intermediate form (F. indica?) were 70 percent, F. gigantica 25 percent and F. hepatica, 5 percent. None experimental, natural infective rate of the Fasciolosis was 3.3-3.4 percent among the cattles (Bos taurus var. domesticus) in Pusan area.

Malignant histiocytosis(MH) is a rapidly progressive and usally fatal disorder characterized clinically fever, generalized weakness, lymphadeno athy, hepatosplenomegaly accompanied by jaundice, and purpura. The frequency of skin manifestations has been repoterd about 15% of MH patients. Papules, plaques and niidules are commonly met. Histopathologically MH shows infiltrations of atypical histiocyte; with uarious maturity in many organs including skin. We present a case of a 32-year-old female with MH involving not only lymph node, liver, spleen and bone marrow but also skin with vaorious features ; erythematous papules, annular purpuric patches, subcutaneous nodules and hemomagic nodules. Immunohist,ochemically the majority of patients atypical histiocytes in lesional skin shows a-1 antitrysin positive, but lysozyme negative. It may suggest that these are poorly differentiated atypical histiocytes rather than well differentiated ones.

Persistent trigeminal artery is an embryonic remnant of the anastomotic channel linking the internal carotid artery and the basilar artery. Cases of vertebrobasilar insufficiency caused by the persistent trigeminal artery with internal carotid artery stenosis has been described previously, but vertebrobasilar insufficiency entirely due to in situ stenosis of the persistent trigeminal artery has not been reported. A 71-year-old man presented with frequent dizzy episodes. The brain MRI showed no parenchymal lesions. MR angiography showed poor visualization of vertebrobasilar system. He was diagnosed as having vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Cerebral angiography revealed that there was complete occlusion at the vertebrobasilar junction, and the basilar artery was supplied by the persistent trigeminal artery which had severe stenosis at its origin. There was no stenosis of the internal carotid artery of both sides. We believe that this is the first report of vertebrobasilar insufficiency due to stenosed persistent trigeminal artery, without internal carotid artery stenosis.

The managements of fractures of femoral shaft in children differ in many ways from those in adults. Fourty eight cases of fractures of femoral shaft in children who were treated at Masan Korea General Hospital from March 1981 to February 1984 were analyzed both clinically and radiologically and the following results were obtained. l. Among 48 cases, the ratio of male and female was about 2.7:1 and the highest incidence was between the age of 3 and 8 years(52.1%). 2. The main cause of fracture was traffic accident(66.7%) and the other was falling or slip down injury. 3. Middle 1/3 of femoral shaft was most commonly injured(45.8%) and transverse type was common (41.7 %). 4. The common associated injuries were head injuries, fracture of the lower extremities and fracture of pelvis. 5. 43 cases were treated with traction method and 5 with open reduction and internal fixation. 6. In general, angulation at fracture site was under 10 degrees and no clinical deformity was resulted in. 7. Among 48 cases, overring of fractured fragment was occured in 28 cases and the average length of overring was 7.5mm.
