Regional left ventricular dysfunction is common in patients with coronary artery disease and accurate analysis of regional dysfunction is of particular interest. For the quantitative assessment of regional dysfunction, we measured regional ejection fraction by radial sector division method in 19 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 13 normal controls who had multigated blood pool scan. And two independent observer analyzed regional wall motion using 5 point grading system in 18 patients undergoing radionuclide ventricular cineangiography. The results obtained were as follows : 1) Regional wall motion scores for the gated blood pool study agreed completely in 72 of 108 segments (66.7%) and agreed within 1 grade in 88 of 108 segments(81.5%) and agreement rate is lowest in the septal area. 2) Global left ventricular ejection fraction was 63.2+/-4.2% in normal controls, 36.6+/-6.8% in extensive anterior wall infarction group and 52.6+/-9.7% in inferior wall infarction group. The value of extensive anterior wall infarction group was significantly lower than that of inferior wall infarction group(p<0.005). 3) Regional left ventricular ejection fraction by radial sector division method in normal control group were as follows : area 1 ; 56.5+/-6.7%, area 2 : 77.9+/-4.8%, area 3 ;84.3+/-5.5%, area 4 : 76.8+/-6.6%, area 5 ; 84.7+/-7.6%, area 6 ; 85.9+/-11.2%, area 7 ; 75.5+/-12.3%, area 8 ; 74.9+/-14.0%, area 9 ; 75.5+/-8.8%, area 10 ; 54.2+/-11.0%, 11 ; 34.5+/-16.3, area 12 ; 37.1+/-18.0%. 4) Mean regional ejection fraction in 7 patients with anterior wall infarction showed significantly lower values in area 4 to area 8, and in area 2 to area 5 in case of inferior wall infarction group. 5) We thought that regional ejection fraction obtained by radial sector division method is valuable index for the management and evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease.

Nerve fiber bundle index(NFBI) is a new index which detects visual field depression in 21 nerve fiber bundle zones, reflecting the topographical arrangement of visual field defects. We applied this index to 39 eyes with normal visual field and 131 eyes with early glau-comatous field defect(mean defect Area Under Curve ; Depression ; Glaucoma* ; Nerve Fibers* ; ROC Curve ; Visual Fields

Malignant chondroid syringoma, previously called "mixed tumor of the skin of the salivary gland type"is a fairly uncommon type of sweat gland tumor. Malignant chondroid syringoma frequently arises from the trunk and extremities, whereas the benign tumor is common to the head region. The present case occurred in a female. The malignant nature of the tumor was evident from repeated recurrences after excision of the mass and histopathological study. Lack of response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy led to widespread metastasis. We report a case of malignant chondroid syringoma with lung metastasis in a 39-year-old female patient and response to chemotherapy. We also reviewed the literatures of malignant chondroid syringoma.

Pulmonary artery sling is a rare and potentially lethal vascular anomaly wherein the anomalous left pulmonary artery arises from the posterior aspect of the right pulmonary artery and passing to the left lung between the trachea and the esophagus which causes respiratory distress in infants and children due to the extrinsic compression of the airway by the anomalous vessel. Associated anomalies are common, particularly those of the tracheobronchial tree. The most common lesions are hypoplasia of the distal trachea and right main stem bronchus. About 50 percent of patients have cardiovascular anomalies, such as in the left superior vena cava, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aortic arch anomalies, tetralogy of Fallot 1 etc. We experienced a case of a 6-year-old boy who showed dyspnea and frequent pneumonia. He was diagnosed with pulmonary artery sling associated with left bronchial stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus, and left superior vena cava which was parven by echocardiographic examinations, spiral computerized tomography of the chest and cineangiography. We report this case with related literature.

A statistical study was done on arrhythmia of the aged who were older than 60 during the period 1963~1972 at Seoul national University Hospital. This study included 6,511 patients among 40,000 total patients. The results were as follows. 1) Arrhythmias were observed among 3,058 patients(46.97%). Sinus irregularitis were the most frequent arrhythmia. 2) Except sinus irregularities premature beat (38.3%), atrial fibrillation (16.1%), bundle branch block (10.5%), atriovenricular block (10.5%), atrioventricular escape beat (5.1%), atrioventricular junctional rhythm (4.9%), wandering pacemaker(4.0%) and paroxysmal tachycardia(2.5%) were frequent arrhythmias. 3) Cardiovascular disease was major underlying disease. In cardiovascular disease group, the incidence of arrhythmia was 51.15% which was three times as high as non-cardiovascular and normal group. 4) Most arrhythmias were more frequently observed among the aged except bundle branch block and ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia. 5) The incidence of arrhythmia was similar among the aged except pre-excitation syndrome which was predisposed to woman. 6) Arrhythmia was most frequently observed in coronary heart disease. 7) Among sinus irregularities, simus bradycardia was more frequent in the aged. 8) There were no significant differences in frequency of arrhythmia between non-cardiovascular disease group patients and normal group.
