The pseudolymphoma of the stomach is known to be a benign porliferation of lymphoid tissue, which can bemistaken hostoloigcally for malignant lymphoma. The etiology of pseudolymphoma is controversial, but it B believedto be a manifestation of chronic inflammatory process. Authors present 3 cases of gastric lymphoma. Impresssionsof upper gastrointestual series were as follows; lymphoma or chronic gastritis in one case, ulcerative carcinomain another case and early gastric carcinoma in the other case. Initial endoscopic findings suggested infiltratingcarcinoma, ulcerative carcinoma and two benign gastric ulcers, respectively. One case was associated wtih earlygastric carcinoma.

Acute bacterial infection of bone and joint presents a real challenge to orthopedist because early diagnosis and treatment are difficult and also essential. In almost all practices, fever and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) are widely used for monitoring the course, for estimating the effectiveness of treatment, and for the recovery of such illnesses. However, interpreting body temperature is difficult and ESR is nonspecific, is not not sensitive, normalizes slowly. Otherwise, C-reactive protein(CRP) is very sensitive and normalizes fast. CRP, body temperature, and ESR were sequentially measured until a normal value was reached in twenty seven patients in whom acute osteomyelitis (17 patients), acute exacerbation of chronic osteomyelitis(4 patients), and septic arthritis(6 patients) had been diagnosed by positive bacterial culture at Kyungpook National University Hospital from June 1984 to May 1985. The results were as follows: 1. CRP normalized within 8.8 days on average. 2. Fever lasted 4.5 days on average. 3. ESR normalized within 41.6 days on average. 4. Initial mean value of CRP was 4.2 positive in acute in acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis and 3.5 positive in acute exacerbation of chronic osteomyelitis, therefore CRP can be considered as a very sensitive indicator for early detection of acute bacterial infection of bone and joint. Also sequential CRP determination can be used for monitoring the course, for estimating the effectiveness of treatment, and for the recovery of such illnesses.

In 1814, Monteggia first described a fracture of proximal third of the ulna with a dislocstion of radial head. Bado named Monteggia lesion as a fraeture of ulnar at any level and a dislocaion of radial head and classified fracture as 4 types. The authors reviewed thirty-two patients of Monteggia fracture who were trested at department of orthopedic surgery, Kyung Pook University college of medicine from 1977. 1 to 1986. 12. Using new criteria of Bruce et al we evaluated results for 20 paients who follow up was possible. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Tota 32 patients were 10 children and 22 aults. Male is 4 times more than female. 2. The cause of injury was fall down 12, trsffic accident 17 and machinsry injury 3 pati ents. 3. According to Bado clsssification, type I was 56%, type II 16%, type III 22% and type V 6%. 4. Direction of radial head dislocation was as follows ; Anterior was 16, anterolateral 10, posterior 3 posterolateral 1 latersl 2. 5. Location of ulna fracture site was as follows ; Metaphysis was 6, proximal 1/3 20, mid shaft 5, distal 1/3 1. 6. Treatments of dislocated radial head were closed reduction in 31 patients open reduction in 1 patient. 7. Treatment of fractured ulna was different between children and adult. 9 patients among ten children patient were managed by closed reduction, only 1 case by open reduction but all 22 adults were managed by open reduction and internal fixation. 8. Palsy of posterior interosseous nerve was observed in 6 and recovered completely within 8 months. 9. The results(Bruce et al) for 20 cases followed 5 months more were excellent 4 good 7 fair 5 poor 4. In children, prognosis and recovery was good and shorter.

The management of chronic osteomelitis of the tibial diaphysis and certain post-traumatic defects of the lower extremity is extremely difficult. the diverse methods of treatment signify current dissatisfaction with any single method. Recently, the muscle transposition technique has gained an accepted place in treating wide soft tissue defect with bone exposure. Popularized by Ger, Vasconez, Pers, Mc Hugh and others, this technique is generally simple, safe, and reliable, The 21 patients who treated by muscle transposition at the Kyungpook National University Hospital between 1980 and 1987 were reported. The results were as follows :l. 19 patients were males and 2 were females. 2. The cause of lesion were 8 cases of open fracture, 10 cases of chronic osteomyelitis, chronic ulcer 1 case, malignent melanoma 1 case, burn scar contracture 1 case. 3. The muscles used for transposition according to lesion site of leg were as follows. Medial head of gastrocnemius was transposed in 2 case of knee and 4 cases of proximal 1/3 lesion, 11 cases of middle l/3 lesion was used soleus, 1 cases were gastrocnemius after soleus, 1 case was tibialis anterior, 2 cases of distal 1/3 were used each 1 case of solus, 1 case of F.H.L. 4. All cases were healed within 2 to 3 weeks after muscle transposition, and this technique seemd to afford favorable influence upon the healing of fracture and the eradication of infection.

Acute mountain sickness is an illness caused by climbing to a high altitude without prior acclimatization. Neurological consequences, like parkinsonism following acute mountain sickness without lesion of brain MRI have been reported rarely. A healthy 56-year-old man presented with dysarthria and gait disturbance. Neurological examination revealed tremor of hands, limb rigidity, and bradykinesia. The symptoms developed approximately 30 days following a 3,500 m climb of the Annapurna in the Himalayas. Brain MRI did not reveal any abnormalities including globus pallidus. The parkinsonism symptoms persisted for about 3 months before a complete recovered was made. We suggest that parkinsonism can develop after climbing to a high altitude but that the symptoms can be transient if a brain MRI detects no abnormalities.

BACKGROUND: Identifying problems and making a surgical plan through a preoperative analysis is important in facial aesthetic surgery. Thus, popular conceptions of an attractive face must be analyzed beforehand. The landmarks used as reference points may change after rhinoplasty, resulting in errors in the prediction and assessment of outcomes. To reduce such errors, it is advantageous to use reference points and landmarks that are subject to minimal variation. This study measured and analyzed landmarks with little preoperative and postoperative variation in rhinoplasty, and established appropriate standards for landmarks indicative of ideal profiles. METHODS: A photogrammetric analysis was performed of 80 famous and attractive celebrities from Korea, Southeast Asia, Japan, China, and America. The nasofrontal angle, nasal angle, nasolabial angle, angle of facial convexity, and angle of total facial convexity were measured. RESULTS: The angle of total facial convexity differed significantly among countries (P=0.013). No significant difference in nasal angle, facial convexity, or total facial convexity was observed between Western and Eastern countries. A significant difference in the nasofrontal angle (Asian: 138.66°, Western: 134.35°; P=0.006) was observed. The nasolabial angle (Asian: 97.09°, Western: 104.59° degrees; P=0.007) was significantly more acute in Asian than in Western subjects. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we performed a more accurate analysis using the glabella instead of the nasion to measure the facial profiles of patients planning to undergo rhinoplasty and proposed standard values through an analysis of ideal and attractive facial profiles.
