Pulmonic autograft replacement of the aortic valve (Ross procedure) has been to have potential for growth in children, no complication of antiocagulation, and enhanced durability. Therefore, Ross operation is indicated in the young, in patients with an active life style, and when anticoagulation is contraindicated. However, late autograft valve has occurrd more frequently in patients with significant size discrepancy between the pulmonay valve annulus and the aortic valve annulus. In order to resolve this problem, we performed aortic annuloplasty with Duran ring for more accurate and strong reinforcement. We report a case using the Duran ring as a method of aortic annuloplasty during Ross procedure.

We analysed clinically 354 glaucomatous patients from 1983 to 1987 who visited the clinic of the Department of Ophthalmology of National Medical Center. The results were as follows: 1) The prevalence of glaucoma was 1.56% among the out-patients. 2) The primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG) was the most frequent type. 3) The mean age of the patients with POAG was 47.8 +/- 14.2 years and 60.8 +/- 8.9 years was that of the patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG). 4) There was no sexual preference in various types of glacoma, except PACG and secondary glaucoma. 5) There was no significant difference in laterality between right and left eyes.

BACKGROUND: Although the incidence of tsutsugamushi disease has been increasing in Korea, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of tsutsugamushi disease in Young?dong province have not been reported. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 46 patients of tsutsugamushi disease who admitted at Gangneung Asan hospital from 1997 to 2001. RESULTS: Incidence of tsutsugamushi disease in Young-dong province had been increasing since 1999. Most patients were infected during agricultural work. The incidence of women was higher than that of men (65.2%). Characteristic laboratory finding was elevation of AST and ALT, hypoalbuminemia and thrombocytopenia. Despite fever, leukocytosis was found only in 20% of patients. Course of disease was relatively good in most patients, but complications such as pneumonia, acute renal failure, and shock developed in 26% of patients. In one case with acute renal failure and another case with pneumonia, the patients' condition aggravated in spite of doxycycline therapy, thus, hemodialysis and mechanical ventilator care were done respectively. Consequently, both patients recovered completely without chronic complication. Old age (>65 years), longer duration from onset of symptoms to admission (>10 days), hypoalbuminemia at admission(<2.6 g/dL) and leukocytosis could be used as a marker for prediction of complications. CONCLUSION: Incidence of tsutsugamushi disease increased in Young?dong region. Old age, delayed admission, hypoalbuminemia and leukocytosis could be used as marker for prediction of complications.

We report here a case of streaky fat deposition in the middle layer of the left ventricular myocardium, without any underlying etiology, and this was seen on computed tomography coronary angiography. This report suggests that left ventricular middle layer fat deposition should be investigated in order to determine its etiology, the pathogenesis and the prognosis.

Cervical spondylolysis is an extremely rare abnomality of unknown etilogy, first described by Hadley. It is defined s a corticated cleft between the superior and inferior articular facets of the articular pillar, the cervical equivalent of the pars interarticularis in the lumbar spine. A 50-yar-old woman was presented with occipital headache, and pain in the upper neck region. Neurological examination revealed the patients inability to walk because of quadriparesis with mild hypesthesia in both hands and feet. The DTR was hyperactive and pathological reflexes, including Babinski's and Hoffman's, were positive bilaterally. CT showed the bilateral pars interarticularis defects and spinal canal stenosis. MRI revealed signal alteration on the upper spinal cord which was compromised due to the hypertrophied ligamentum flavum. Decompressive laminectomy of C2 was performed and the patient's neurological deficits had recovered to some extent and resulting to her ability to walk without assistance.

A 65-year-old male patient with preoperative severe left ventricular dysfunction and mitral and tricuspid insufficiency went into low cardiac output and failure to wean, biventricular assistance was provided with centrifugal pumps. The patient survived the ordeal. This is the first reported case of a survival after biventricular assistance using the centrifugal pump.
