Intraosseous phlebography was performed to determine the healing effect of the dosing treated with vitamin-D$_3$ and/or calcium phosphate on the fractured bone in male rabbits. Femoral shafts of 16 adult male rabbits were fractured and these animals were divided into 3 treated groups and 1 control group l. The 1st treated group of rabbits was dosed with vitamin-D$_3$(VD), the 2nd treated group of rabbits was given calcium phosphate(CP), and the 3.d treated group of rabbits received vitamin-D$_3$ and calcium phosphate. The control group of rabbits was dosed with saline alone. Radiographs were taken weekly in each rabbit over 6 weeks period and the results obtained were as follows. 1. Sinusoidal vein was visualized at 3rd week in eve animal received CP and VC, at 5 week in animals received VD and in control animals. 2. Main nutrient vein was observed more clearly in treated groups than in control group of animals. 3. These results indicate that venous reconstruction of the fractured bone in groups of rabbits received CP and VC was earlier and more complete than those of other groups of rabbits. 4. Therefore, intraosseous phlebography is suitable for determination of the bone healing effect of vitamin-D$_3$ and/or calcium phosphate in femoral fractured rabbits.

During the past 4 years, 18 cases of deep vein thrombosis were treated. Diagnosis was based on clinical symptoms, phlebography and vascular Doppler examination. Etiologic factors were mainly trauma, operation and immobilization of the lower extremities. Seven patients were treated surgically and eleven patients medically. The indications for surgical thrombectomy included phlegmasia cerulea dolens [N=6], and phlemasia cerulea dolens with focal venous gangrene[N=1]. The comparative analysis of each treatment methods was done after a mean observation period of 6 months. Good clincal results were observation in 4 patents in surgically treated [57.1%], and 4 in conservative management group[36.3%]. There were no mortality in the both surgical and medically treated group but one patient with phlegmasia cerulea dolens and focal venous gangrene was dischared in moribund state at the third postoperation day due to sepsis and multiorgan failure. We believe that aggressive early surgical thrombectomy should be stronly considered for patients of phlegmasia cerulea dolena.

Variations of external jugular vein are common. Here, we present a rare terminal bifurcation of the left external jugular vein. The left external jugular vein was formed by the union of entire retromandibular vein and posterior auricular vein. One inch above the clavicle, it bifurcated into medial and lateral divisions. The medial division terminated into the internal jugular vein and the lateral division terminated into the subclavian vein. Medial division received a common vein formed by the union of anterior jugular vein and an anonymous vein lying under the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The lateral division received a common vein formed by the union of suprascapular and transverse cervical veins. The knowledge about this variation could be useful to head and neck surgeons, radiologists and plastic surgeons.
