There are many reports of ventricular arrhythmias following the injection of epinephrine under general anesthesia with halothane or cyclopropane. Raventos reported that catecholamines given animals during chloroform, cyclopropane or halothane anesthesia have caused ventricular arrhythmias which sometimes developed into ventricular fibrillation. But there are a few reports of atrial arrhythmias in patients under general anesthesia with alone halothane. While it is known that hypercapnia can elicit arrhythmia during halothane anesthesia, Black and coworkers that hypercapnia of 60 to 140mmHg (average 92mmHg) is necessary for the occurrence of arrhythmias during halothane anesthesia. Hellewell and Potts reported 12 cases of arrhythmias under halothane anesthesia which were treated by propranolol, producing a return of sinus rhythm in an average time of 46 seconds. The authors reported one case with atrial arrhythmias induced by halothane anesthesia, which were arrested by the IV injection of 5mg of tolamolo, beta-receptor blocking agent. Thereafter arrhythmias did not reappear.

Calcification is exceedingly rare in schwannomas. In the literatures, we found only three reports of schwannomas with calcification. We report two cases of intracranial calcified schwannomas, one in the anterior cranial fossa and the other in the middle cranial fossa.

Open brochus with diffuse narrowing, stretching, and leafless tree appearance of the bronchi is the well know bronchographic criterior of bronchiloalveolar carcinoma. Though similar findings are expected in CT, authors couldfind no report concerninng the open bronchus sign of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma demonstrated by CT., Authorspresents CT of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma showing lobar or segmental distribution and patent bronchus within thetumor mass.

The effect of Minizide(R) (prazosine 1mg and polythiazide 0.5mg) was studied in 34 hypertensive patients (female 16 cases, male 18 cases) at the Department of Internal Medicine, Paik Hospital, In-Je Medical College between July, 1979 and August 1980 for 14 months. The patients didn't take the any drugs for one week before the clinical trial with Minizide(R), and thereafter they took minizide 1 tablet 3 times daily for 2 weeks. The blood pressure was checked before and after the trial in the supine and standing position. The results were as followings: 1) The systolic blood pressure before the treatment with Minizide in the supine position was 196+/-24mmHg and in the standing position 188+/-22mmHg. The systolic blood pressure after the treatment with minizide in the supine position was 148+/-16mmHg and in the standing position 139+/-9mmHg. 2) The diastolic blood pressure before the treatment with minizide in the supine position was 118+/-11mmHg, and in the standing position 113+/-10mmHg. The diastolic blood pressure after the treatment with minizide in the supine position was 87+/-6mmHg and in the standing position 84+/-5mmHg. 3) There was no significant orthostatic hypotension after the 34 patients. 4) There was no changes of laboratory findings after the treatment. 5) 3 of 34 hypertensive patients after the treatment complained of headache, 3 palpitation, 2 edema, 2 drowsiness, and 1 fatigability and 1 patient complained of weakness.

Male breast cancer is a rare disease, representing approximately 1% of breast cancer and less than 1.5% of malignant tumors occurring in men. We report a case of cuaneous metastasis of male breast cances. a 64-year-old male who presented with multiple nodules and erythematous plaque on the right anterior chest and enlargement of the right axillary lymplinodes. The histopathologic findings of the nodule showed atypical tumor cells with a somew eat gland-like pattern. The cells showed potive reactions in PAS, DPAS and alcian blue stains, and also positive for estrogen and roiesterone receptors. Biopsy specimens taken from the plaque showed cellular arrangement in show line, referred to as Indian filing, between thiclenecin collagen bundles. He was treated not, tamoxifen, 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and megestrol acetate. 5 months after nitiation of the treatment, the skin lesions were improved vvith a decreased number and size or dules and decreased intensity of erythema.

Just as hyperbetalipoproteinemia is the most common kind of familiar hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperprebetalipoproteinemia or increased very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and its associated hypertriglyceridemia is an abnormality frequently found in association with several metabolic and nutritional disorders. This VLDL abnormality is demonstrable in high percentage of insulin dependent diabetic children before they receive treatment. It is also observed in many older, overweight, insulin resistant diabetic, with poor control of diabetes. An elevation of VLDL was also observed after ethanol intake. A mild to moderate degree of VLDL elevation is the most frequently observed from of clinical hyperlipidemia. Many investigators reported that hyperprebetalipoproteinemia (hypertriglyceridemia) is associated with an increasing incidence of coronary artery disease. As opposed to hyperbetalipoproteinemia, hyperprebetalipoproteinemia is prone to influence on the development of atherosclerosis in the middle and older aged persons which indicates the importance of triglyceride determination in these aged groups. There has been relatively rare study reported on the triglyceride metabolism in patients with congestive heart failure, essential hypertension and liver disease in Korea. This study was designed to determine serum triglyceride, free fatty acid and glycerol in the disease mentioned in Busan University Hospital between jan. 1975 and December 1976 and analized the change of lipid profile in each different condition. The results were as follows; 1. The mean of serum FFA, triglyceride and glycerol in the 37 normal were as follows 502.32+/-146.54microEq/L, 111.84+/-40.53mg% and 432.00+/-212.13microM/ml. 2. 23 patients with congestive heart failure showed a significant reduction in serum triglycerides (91.96+/-27.80mg%) and a significant increase in serum free fatty acid (576.77+/-129.67microEqL) and glycerol (432.50+/-212.13microM/ml). 3. In 15 patients with essential hypertension a significant elevation of serum triglycerides (149.38+/-42.28mg%) was noted. 4. In 13 patients with liver cirrhosis, a reduction in serum triglycerides (80.50+/-34.27mg%) was noted.
