From 39 eyes of 31 cases which received the cataract operation performed under the surface anesthesia by 2 specialists, 2 senior, 1 third and 1 first year residents at Red cross Society, the following results were obtained. 1. The maximal value of intraocular pressure was 19.0mmHg, minimal value, 11.5mmHg and the average, 14.9mmHg just before the cataract operation. 2. The rupture of the capsule was 21.4% and the loss of vitreous body, 7.1% in intraocular lens extrations. 3. The degree of anteior projetion of the eyes had not direct relationship with the intracapsular lens extraction. 4. All patients who received the cataract operation were required sufficient akinesia sedation. 5. Within normal intraocular pressure, the intraocular pressure didn't seem to have any effect to the loss of vitreous body.

Traditionally, total parenteral nutrition(TPN) has been used when patients with hypaemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management, but now many physicians attempt to enteral feeding via nasogastric tube because TPN is expensive and has many complications. Recently, we experienced 2 cases of hyperemesis gravidarum successfully managed by enteral feeding via nasogastric tube, therefore we think that this method may be carefully considered to the patients with hyperemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management. So we report them with brief review of the literatures.

PURPOSE: to assess the role of MR imaging in determining of the atrial situs in complicated congenital heart disease with situs ambiguus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In order to classify the situs, the morphology of atrial appendages, on bronchial length ratio, the superior-inferior relation of the pulmonary artery (PA) and main bronchi on each side, and splenic abnormality were evaluated by MR imaging in 22 patients (12 boys and 10 girls), and the results were compared. RESULTS: In all patients, the superior-inferior relation of the PA and main bronchi tended to lateralize, and in one, bronchial length ratio was not consistent with the relation between the PA and bronchus. Bronchial and atrial situs, as determined by appendage morphology, were consistent in ten of 13 right isomerism patients, and in only three of nine of these with left isomerism. All 13 right isomerism patients, classified by the relation of the PA and main bronchi, showed asplenia, whereas eight of nine of these with left isomerism had polysplenia. CONCLUSION: In the assessment of atrial situs by MR imaging, the positional relation of a bronchus and the PA, bronchial length ratio, and splenic abnormality are constant and reliable. The accuracy of classification of situs on the basis of atrial appendage morphology is, however, limited.
