Numerous reports of anaphylactoid reaction to d-tubocurarine have appeared since 1936. Also it has been suggested that histamine released as a consequence of clinical doses of d-tubocur arine is not in sufficient quantity to evoke symptoms. We recently had experience with a case who had of severe circulatory collapse and urticarial reaction while being anesthetized with ether and d-tubocurarine. This report draws attention to the risk of administering histamine releasing drugs and references are reviewed.

3.The Effects of Succinylcholine on Cardiac Rates after Pretreatment with Propranolol and Lidocaine .
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1978;11(4):335-339
During ether anesthesia in man, succinylcholine(lmg/kg of body weight) was administered intravenously after pretreatment with 0.2% lidocaine 50-60mg or Inderal(1. 0mg). The effects were as follows: 1) Heart rates were increased during ether anestheaia. 2) Lidocaine produced no effects on heart rates rncreased by ether, but heart rates were decreased following administration of succinylcholine. 3) Inderal decreased heart rates, increased by ether anesthesia. Heart rates were increased following administration of succinylcholine.

4.Clinical Experiences with Hiccups during Anesthesia .
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1971;4(1):23-25
The effectivenss of intravenous Ritalin (10 mg vs. 20 mg) and nasal instillation of diethyl ether (2 cc) for the treatment of hiccup in 38 patients during and immediately following anesthesia. Ritalin, regardless of the dosage employed, was more effective than ether. Nausea and retching were more prevalent among patients treated with Ritalin, however, than with ether.

5.Depigmentation Therapy with Monobenzyl Ether of Hydroquinone in a Patient with Vitiligo Universalis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1999;37(5):685-687
A 42-year-old Korean female patient with vitiligo universalis had depigmentation therapy with 20 monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone(MBEH). Noticeable lightening was observed 1 month after depigmentation therapy, three months later, complete depigmentation was achieved. As depigmentation induced by MBEH is generally irreversible, MBEH must be reserved for induction of complete depigmentation in severe cases of vitiligo in which the patients themselves do not want repigmentation and who can aecept the consequences of permanent non-tanning skin.

6.Effeets of Inhalazion Anesthetsia on the Blood Sugar Level in the Rabbit .
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1981;14(1):20-25
This experiment was attemptel to observe possible effects of ether, halothane and methoxyflurane on the blood sugar level of the rabbit, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after start of anesthesia with ether halothane and methoxyflurane by a non-rebreathing system. Comparision was made between preanesthetic and postanesthetic levels of blood sugar and the following results were obtained. In the ether anesthesia group, the blood sugar level 15 minutes after anesthesia was increased and decreased gradualley a anesthesia was progressed. In the halothane group, the blood sugar level was increased 5 minutes after anesthesia, and then decreased more rapidly than in other groups. Blood sugar levels 60 minutes after anesthesia had returned to preanesthetic levels in all groups. As the above result shows, blood sugar levels were revealed to have a tendency to increase during induction of anesthesia, and then returned gradually to the preanesthetic level during maintenence of anesthesia.

The petroleum ether fraction of ethanol extract of Acorus tatarinowii were separated by column chromatography and recrystallization to afford seven compounds. On the spectroscopic analysis, they were identified as 1-hydroxy-7(11),9-guaiadien-8-one (1), calamenone(2), cis-asarone(3), chrysophanol (4), physcion (5), emodin (6), (+)-galbacin (7). Compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 4-7 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

8.Changes in PaO2 and PaCO2 with Modified Flagg Can System with Ether .
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1974;7(1):79-83
PaO2 and PaCO2 values were studied in 8 surgical patients with a modified Flagg can system anesthesia. Arterial blood gases were analyzed with a Radiometer before every induction, after the first 30 minutes of anesthesia and in the immediate post-anesthetic period. The following results were obtained: 1) The values of PaO2 and PaCO2 in all cases during anesthesia did not show any remarkable change. 2) In cases, with no necessity of muscle relaxation or assisted and controled respiration, especially in children, the modified Flagg can system anesthesia seemed to be safe, simple and economical.

The present study has been designed as a basic study on laboratory diagnosis of giardiasis and to demonstrate a more effective method for the detection of Giardia lamblia cyst with the inherent advantages of minimizing both the number of stool examinations required and the interval of stool collections for estimating the real state of prevalence in the shortest time possible. There were 3 subject groups of 75 children each currently residing in an orphanage in Gunsan city, Jeonbuk province from which stool specimens were collected every day, every other day, and every 3 days. The procedure is as follows: Resuspend the fixed sample after fixation with SAF solution. Centrifuge the sediment for 1 min. at 2,000 rpm after straining through gauze into a tube. Divide the sediment into 3 parts and use them for direct fecal smear, formalin-ether concentration (MGL) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO(4)) floatation techniques. The results are summarized as follows: Overall infection rate after 10 trials showed a 60 percent positive indication. The positive rate among children under 4 years old was significantly higher than the rate in children over 4 years old. No significant difference in rate by sex was observed. The results of examinations by direct fecal smear and MGL techniques appeared more accurate than that obtained by ZnSO(4) floatation method as indicated by a higher positive rate. Of all three methods concerned, combinations of two demonstrated a higher positive rate than that shown by any one alone. In three consecutive examinations under varying conditions such as different days, the cyst detection rate by MGL technique indicated 83 percent. In 5 examinations under the same varying conditions, the indicated rate was 94 percent. The interval of stool collection proved to be insignificant for the cyst detection rate. In conclusion, both MGL method and modified fecal direct smear can provide a good cyst detection rate of G. lamblia provided that more than 3 consecutive examinations of stool under varying conditions are carried out.

Several blood dyscrasias associated with clozapine have been well known to clinicians and potentially life threatening agranulocytosis has been widely reported. However, there is little report regarding incidence, progression and associated features of eosinophilia associated with clozapine. In clinical studies, the onset of eosinophilia usually occurs artier 3 to 5 weeks of treatment and rarely were cases fatal with medical complication. We report the first case of severe eosinophilia, bilateral pleural effusion, asicites, hepatitis and cholecystitis associated with clozapine that would be fatal. Eosinophilia occurred after 19 days of treatment with clozapine and all the clinical conditions improved along with interruption of clozapine treatment. It is suggested that eosinophilia may be more severe side effort than has ether been known and close hematologic monitoring should be done during early treatment of clozapine.
