The author has conducted survey on the socio-medical status of th e157 entertainers (male:25, female:132) in Jeonju area, during 1 to 15 July 1974. As results of this survey, following conclusions were obtained. 1. The age distribution was revealed the peak in the age group of 20 to 24 years with 44.5 percent. Average age of male entertainers was 28.0 years and female entertainer with 23.9 years. 2. By the educational background of the entertainers, the greatest proportion or 45.9 percent was middle school, 28.7 percent in primary school. 3. Most of the entertainers had no their parents, rather of mother while the ones who had parents were 21.0 percent. 4. The average age of menarche of the female entertainers was 14.2+/-0.87 years. 5. Regarding the marital status of the entertainers, the unmarried were 81.5 percent and present status of marriage, 79.3 percent were separated. 6. The average of the first marriage was 24.4 years in male, and 22.6 years in female. 7. Regarding the working duration of the entertainers, 79.1 percent worked less than 1 year. 8. Regarding the sex experiences before marriage, 76.0 percent of the male and 91.7 percent of the female reported had such experiences. 9. Induced abortions were found to have been experienced 88.6 percent of the female entertainers. 10.Point prevalence rate for gonorrhea including non-specific arthritics of the entertainers were found 16.0 percent of the male and 17.4 percent of the female.

We meniscectomized 27 knees with meniscal lesions for disabling symptoms after the diagnosis by clinical evaluation and arthrography from January, 1970 to May,1979. Statistical analyses were as follows: 1. Male was affected 2 times more than female. The most meniscal lesions occurred in the age group between 10 and 29 years old (67%). 2. The lateral menisci were affected 2 times than the medial. In the former, the middle segments were affected most frequently and in the latter, the posterior horns. 3. The general diagnosis of torn meniscus for the 27 knees was correct by clinical evaluation for 19(71%), by arthrography for 20 (74%) and by two methods for 24 (88%). 4. In the follow-up study, satisfactory results were obtained in. 79%.

Human diphyllobolthriasis is chiefly caused by infection with Diphyllobothrium latum(D. latum) through eating raw or unproperly cooked fish such as salmon, trout or perch. D. latum is worldwidely distributed, but not a common parasite of humans, and its prevalence in Korea is not high. The first worm-proven case of D. latum infection was first reported in 1971 and about 30 cases have been reported in Korea until now. However, with the increasing popularity of eating raw salmon, trout and perch, this tapeworm infection tends to increase in Korea. Most of the patients infected by D. latum have not showed the specific symptoms and only non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms(anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain). We report a case which includes a chain whitish, threadlike tapeworm segments spontaneously discharged in the patients stool. On reviewing the literature, the present case is the first report of D. latum infection by eating cultured salmon. The patient was treated with 600mg single dose of Praziquantel.

BACKGROUND: Axillary osmidrosis is a distressing problem characterized by unpleasant odor, profuse sweating, and occasional wetting of clothes that may handicap those affected both socially and psychologically. A variety of surgical methods have been developed for the treatment of axillary osmidrosis. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the manual subdermal excision combined with the tumescent liposuction and subcutaneous tissue shaver for axillary osmidrosis. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with axillary osmidrosis were treated by the manual subdermal excision combined with the tumescent liposuction and subcutaneous tissue shaver. RESULTS: Twenty-one(84%) patients had good results, four(16%) fair, and none had a poor result or recurrence. Complications included one case of hematoma, two cases of partial skin necrosis. The wound complication rate was 6.0%(3/50) for the axilla and 12%(3/25) for patients. CONCLUSION: The manual subdermal excision combined with the tumescent liposuction and subcutaneous tissue shaver is effective surgical procedure for the treatment of axillary osmidrosis with a low complication rate and recurrence.

This study was performed to investigate the stimulating effect on oocyte maturation and cumulus cell expansion in TC199 media by human cord serum (HCS) supplementation. Immature mouse oocyte cumulus complexes (OCCs) were cultured in TC199 media supplemented with bovine serum albumin (BSA), HCS and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) instead of luteinizing hormone (LH) respectively, and the expression of cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation were observed. After 4hr and 24hr culture with or without OCCs, media containing 0.4% BSA, 10% HCS and 10 lU hCG respectively were collected and analyzed for changing concentrations of estradiol (E2), progesterone(P4), testosterone(T), and PGF2. There were no elevation of E2, T, and PGF2 by OCCs culture, but minute elevation of P4 level by 24hr OCCs culture in hCG supplementation (p=0.048). The stimulating pattern of cumulus expansion of OCCs by HCS and hCG supplementation was similar to our previously report using Ham's F-10 media, however oocyte maturation rates after 24hr OCCs culture in all media were increased by 20~30% compared to Ham's F-10 media. These results suggest that LH in HCS induce cumulus expansion probably by P4 secretion of OCCs, and TC199 is efficient media for immature mouse oocyte maturation.
