Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of newborn is a disease revealed high morbidity and mortality rate, especially in premature infant. To evaluate the predictive value of Stable Microbubble Rating (SMR) and Shake test on RDS in premature infant, the anthors carried out the gastric aspirates Shake test and SMR test at birth, 3 and 6 hours after birth respectively on 124 premature infants who were born at the department of Pediatrics, Dong-San Hospital, Keimyung University during the period of 6 months form June 1993 to November 1993. The following results were obtained: 1) Among the 124 premature infants, RDS was developed on 23 (18.5%). 2) The birth weight, gestational age and Apgar score were significantly lowered in RDS cases than non-RDS cases (p<0.005). 3) The sensitivity, specificty, positive-and negative-predictive values of Shake test were 87.0% 79. 2% 48.8% and 96.4%, and those of SMR test were 100% 93.1% 76.7% 100% at birth, 95.7% 88.1% 64.7% 98.9% at 3rd-hour of life, and 95.7% 72.3% 44% 98.6% at 6th-hour of life. With the results of this study we concluded that SMR test at 6th-hour of life.

We experienced two cases of Gaucher's disease of adult type in brother aged four years and two years. The patients showed hepatosplenomegaly with anemia and thrombocytopenia. Typical Gaucher cells were found in bone marrow and biopsy specimens of liver and spleen through light and electron microscopic examination. Splenectomy was followed by improvement of anemia and thrombocytopenia. A brief review of literature was made.

This study was carried out to determine the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography for predicting the pulmonary arterial pressure from right ventricular systolic time intervals in 52 patients with ventricular septal defect. The diagnosis of ventricular septal defect was made by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography at Dong San hospital, Keimyung University during the period of one year from jan. 1988 to Dec. 1988. Doppler measurements of acceleration time (AT), right ventricular ejection time (RVET), right ventricular preejection period (RPEP), AT/RVET, and RPEP/AT were compared with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), measured by cardiac catheterization. The patients were divided into 3 groups : PAP< or =30mm Hg, PAP 31-59mm Hg, PAP??0mm Hg. The following results were obtained. 1) In the groups of PAP< or =30mm Hg, AT was 0.12+/-0.01sec, AT/RVET was 0.47+/-0.07 and RPEP/AT was 0.50+/-0.05. 2) In the groups of PAP> or =60mm HG, AT was 0.06+/-0.01sec. AT/RVET was 0.28+/-0.05. RPEP/AR was 1.51+/-0.21. As the level of PAP increased, Doppler AT, AT/RVET and RPEP/AT showed significant change(P<0.001). 3) The Doppler AT showed relative high correlation(r=-0.76) with PAP measured by cardiac catheterization in all group. 4) The Doppler AT/RVET showed correlation(r=-0.70) with PAP. 5) The Doppler RPEP/AT showed high correlation(r=0.91) with PAP. The Doppler echocardiography was easy to apply in all age groups, and was found useful for detecting pulmonary hypertension in ventricular septal defect and for the follow-up check of the patients. It may help to determine the optimal time for surgery and evaluation of the treatment.
