OBJECTIVE: The objective of this survey is to introduce the recent adolescent sexuality, such as the level of sexual knowledge of adolescent, their actual state for the attitudes and behaviors toward sex, and in Korea in comparison with the past and to seek the answers to the improvement of the teproductive health statos of the adolescents. METHOD: The total number of 11,433 girls was drawn fiom middle and high schools girls in Seoul, Pusan, Incheon, Kwangju, Taegu, Taejeon and Ansan. Among them, the number of 82 girls was drawn fiom factory workers in Ansan. For the data collection, the survey was conducted during the period fiom Feb 15, 1994 to May 23, 1995 by using prepared questionaire. RESULT: Of those who respond to this study, 37.6% had sexual problems, which was that of acquaintance of the opposite sex(44.7%), menstruation(33.1%), and sexual maturity(13.1%). Among them, only 5.5% had a feeling of satisfaction about sex education. In regard to the attitude toward the friendly relationsbip with the oppasite sex, the approval rate respondents was 80.4%. Many respondents felt chastity and a virtue, but only 60.1% answered that pemarital chastity should be kept. For the each age group, age at sexual intercourse is revealed that among the respondents about 31.5% are experienced sexual intercourse for under 14 yearss old group, 25.3% for 15 years old, 26.3% for 16 years old, 12.6% for 17 years old, 3.3% for 18 years old, 1.0% for 19 years old. The major information source of knowledge source was school(38.4%), mass-media such as TV/radio(22.6%), book and magazine(19.9%), friends(16.2%), and parents (1.5%). CONCLUSION: In order to cope with the problems of adolescent sexuality, a drastic and strong policy measures should be taken by the government. At the same time, the public should be aware of the urgency of adolescent sexual problems. The most effective countermeasures appear to be education. Sexual education is necessary for the youth that they should bave an adequate sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in their adolescent period.

CT has become one of the most important diagnostic method in the evaluation of ruptured intracranial aneurysm with direct detection of subarachnoid, intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage, and identification of complications such as recurrent bleeding, hydrocephalus and infarction secondary to arterial spasm. Angiography gives precise information on the location, size of aneurysm and presence of arterial spasm. Authors attempted toperedict the location of ruptured intracranial aneurysm confiremd by CT and angiography at Keimyung University Hospital for last 2 years. The results were as follows; 1 The age and sex distribution; the most prevalent agegroup was 5th to 6th decades (70%), and female patient was slightly more than male patient(57.5%: 42.5%). 2. The locaiton of aneruysms were; posterior communicating artery group 17 cases (42.2%), middle cerebral artery group 10 cases (25.0%), anterior communicating artery group 7 cases (17.5%), basilar artery bifucation 1 case (2.5%),posterior inferior cerebellar artery 1 case(2.5%), and multiple aneurysms 4 case (10%) in order to frequency. 3.Characteristic distributions of intracranial hemorrhage in CT were as follows; 1) In 6 cases (85.7%) of anterior communicating artery aneurysm, interhemispheric fissure hemorrhage was noted. 2) The ipsilateral sylvian fisuurehemorrhage was noted in all cases of middle cerebral artery aneurysm(10 cases) and 12 cases (70.6%) of posterior communicating artery aneurysm. 3) Localized hematoma in frontal lobe near interhemispheric fissure (2 cases:28.6%), septum pellucidum (1 case: 14.3%) and corpus callosum (1 case: 14.3%) were characteristic in anterior communicating artery aneurysm. 4) Comma-shape sylvian fissure hematoma (5 cases: 50%) and temporal lobe hematomanear sylvian fissure (5 cases: 50%) may indicate middle cerebral artery anerysm, 5) Intraventricular hemorrhage (6cases: 15%) has no particular predilection of aneurysmal location. 4. In 9 patients (22.5%) of clinicallysuggesting subarachnoid hemorrhage, no extravasated blood was noted in preenhancement CT alone. 5. Six cases (15%)showed aneurysm itself on preenhancement CT as a round or ovoid hyperdense area or isodense area with mass effectsuch as cisternal obliteration. 6. Hydrocephalus was noted in 9 cases (22.5%). 7. There was no direct correlation between the size of the intracranial aneurysm and extent of the hemorrhage in CT, and between the size of the intracranial aneurysm and clinical grade. 8. There was direct correlation between the extent of blood in CT andclinical grade.

BACKGROUND: Patients premedicated with clonidine often present with hypotension and bradycardia. The hypotensive patient premedicated with clonidine should be given a vasopressor to treat hypotension. In these patients, an augmented vasopressor response would be shown. Rilmenidine as an allied drug of clonidine is an antihypertensive agent with selectivity for the imidazoline receptor that acts centrally by reducing sympathetic overactivity. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of clonidine and rilmenidine on changes in mean blood pressure and baroreflex sensitivity following phenylephrine and nitroprusside administration. METHODS: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly into one of three groups, control group (n = 20), clonidine group (n = 20) or rilmenidine group (n = 20). Saline (control group), clonidine 30ng/kg (clonidine group) or rilmenidine 300ng/kg (rilmenidine group) were intraperitoneally injected respectively. Following the injection, a phenylephrine and nitroprusside test were performed. RESULTS: The percent change in mean blood perssure from the baseline values in the control group, clonidine group and rilmenidine group were 35 +/- 18%, 54 +/- 17% and 62 +/- 38%, respectively. There was no difference between the baroreflex sensitivity in the pressure (phenylephrine) test (0.94 +/- 0.43, vs 1.05 +/- 0.62, vs 1.13 +/- 0.59 msec/mmHg). In contrast, the slopes of the depressor (nitroprusside) test were decreased in rats receiving clonidine and rilmenidine (0.51 +/- 0.34, vs 0.12 +/- 0.08, vs 0.18 +/- 0.09 msec/mmHg, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the rilmenidine and clonidine groups showed a more augmented pressure response to vasopressors than the control group. Therefore, the decreased dosage of vasopressors is recommended to treat hypotension in rilmenidine premedicated patients.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia is the most common type of primary immunodeficiency disorder. Mutation ofthe cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase gene, Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase), is known to be the etiology of X-linked agammaglobulinemia. The patients with this disease manifest a B-cell deficiency and low levels of serum immunoglobulin; due to the deficient antibodies, they suffers from recurrent upper and lower respiratory infections. We report here a 24-year-old male with an initial clinical impression of recurrent pneumonia and bronchiectasis. The patient presented with marked pan-hypogammaglobulinemia and the absence of circulating B-lymphocytes on the immunologic study, and he carried a splicing mutation of intron 2 in the Btk gene (IVS2 -3C>G).

This article presents the results of the Implementation Study of the Seoul Cancer Registry, which started in July, 1991 as a population based cancer registry in Seoul, Korea. The completeness and validity of the registered data were evaluated using Mortality/Incidence ratio (M/I ratio), Histologically Verified Cases (HV%), Primary Site Uncertain (PSU%), and Age Unknown (Age UNK%). Owing to the additional active surveillance, the completeness of the data turned out to be fairly acceptable, except for the aged over 75(Mortality/Incidence ratio was over 100%). Eventhough the Seoul cancer registry(SCR) has further way to go in the completeness especially among elderly persons, the validity of SCR data was also acceptable in terms of HV%, PSU%, and Age UNK%. However, PSU% and Age UNK% might need to be further reduced to be comparable with other well established cancer registries. The age standardized incidence rates(ASR) of all cancers between July 1, 1991 and June 30, 1992 were 232.4/100,000 in males and 147.9/100,000 in females. The top five major sites of cancers in Seoul were the stomach, liver, lung, colo-rectum, and bladder in order in males, and the uterine cervix, stomach, breast, colo-rectum, and liver in females. Those 5 cancer sites comprised 68.9% and 64.7% of the total cancer incidence in males and females, respectively.
