1.The protective effects of redix salviae miltiorrhizae on the ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injury of the heart
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(04):-
We studied the protective effects of redix salviae miltiorrhizae (RSM) on the ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injury which was made by ligating and reopening of the left ventricular branch of the coronary artery of the open-chest anaethetised rabbits under the supervision of ECG. There were 14 rabbits in each group, 7 of them for the measurement of myocardial lipid peroxide level (MLPL) by the thiobarbituric acid method (Hiroshi Ohkawa, 1979), and the other 7 for measuring distribution of regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF) by the biological radionuclidelabeled particle method (Wang Jingxian, 1985). With increasing duration of ischemia, MLPL increased significantly in the ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injured heart. In the case of 60 mins ischemia followed by 30 mins reperfusion, MLPL was much higher than that without reperfusion. However, which compared with that of 90 mins ischemia, no significant difference was found. The recovery of RMBF was only 53.2% after 30 mins of reperfusion following 60 mins of ischemia. The occurance of post-ischemic reperfusion injury was dependent on the duration and severity of ischemia. The injury of reperfusion after long period (60 mins) of ischemia is similar to that of increasing duration of ischemia. No-reflow phenomenon was observed in ischemic zones during reperfusion after 60 mins of ischemia. In the RSM (2g/kg body wt) protected reperfusion group. MLPL was reduced by 56.0% and the recovery of RMBF was increased by 32.0%.
2.Protein kinase C activity change in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion and the effect of panaxadiol saponin
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(05):-
The change of myocatdial protein kinase C (PKC) activity during ische-mia and reperfusion was studied in isolated Langendorff perfused rat hearts. The enzymeactivity was determined by measuring the incorporation of ~(32)P from (r-~(32)P) ATP intohistone. The cytosolic PKC activity was similar in control, ischemic and reperfused hearts;however, there were significant increases in the membrane PKC activity during ischemia and reperfusion There were 1.68, 1.88, 2.18 and 1.34 fold increases of the membrane PKC activity at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after ischemia respetively Following15 minutes of ischemia, repetfusion of heart only caused 1.37 fold increase in the mem-brane PKC activity, compared with that at 15 minutes after ischemta no siginificant differ-ence was found. These results suggested, that the signal transduction mediated by PKC wasimpaired during the development of ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injuty of theheart. Panaxadiol saponin decreased the enhanced membrane PKC avtivity induced by is-chemia by 62.5%.
3.Activation domain in P67phox regulates the steady state reduction of FAD in gp91phox.
Journal of Veterinary Science 2000;1(1):27-31
An activation domain in p67(phox) (residues 199-210) is critical for regulating NADPH oxidase activity in cell-free system [10] To determine the steady state reduction of FAD, thioacetamide-FAD was reconstituted in gp91(phox), and the fluorescence of its oxidised form was monitored. Omission of p67(phox) decreased the steady state reduction of the FAD from 28% to 4%, but omission of p47(phox) had little effect. A series of the truncated forms of p67(phox) were expressed in E.coli to determine the domain in p67(phox) which is essential for regulating the steady state of FAD reduction. The minimal length of p67(phox) for for regulating the steady state of FAD reduction is shown to be 1-210 using a series of truncation mutants which indicates that the region 199-210 is also important for regulating electron flow within flavocytochrome b(558). The deletion of this domain not only decreased the superoxide generation but also decreased the steady state of FAD reduction. Therefore, the activation domain on p67(phox) regulates the reductive half-reaction for FAD, consistent with a dominant effect on hydride/electron transfer from NADPH to FAD.

4.The Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Fracture (Extra-articular)
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(1):126-131
Forty nine cases of the proximai tibial metaphyseal fractures treated and managed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Severance Hospital from Jan. 1971 to Dec. 1980 were analysed in inclinical and radiological aspect. The results obtained from this study were as followings: l. Among the 49 patients, male were 30 patients and female 19 patients (M:F=1.6:1). 2. The main cause of the fractures was the traffic accident, 42 cases (85.7%). 3. The most common type of the fractures was the transverse fracture, 21 cases (42.9%). 4. The better prognosis of the treatment was the closed reduction. 5. The better prognosis of the fracture type was shown in the transverse fracture and the poor prognosis was in the anterior long oblique fracture. 6. In the union time of the fracture, there was no significant differences between the proximal tibial metaphyseal fracture and the tibial shaft fracture.

Heterotopic ossification(HO) is a frequent complication of total hip arthroplasty(THA), If it is sevre enough, it can convert a successful result of the operation into a poor one. Among several strategies that researches in recent years have tested, radiation therapy have been accepted to have efficacy for prevention of heterotopic ossification by many authors. While postoperative irradiation has been shown to lower the incidence of HO effectively in high risk patients following THA, patients in multiple dose protocols continue to develop some heterotopic ossifiction despite therapy and have some problems. Ninteen patients received single dose exposure to 600 rad delivered within 48 hours of THA with shielding of prosthesis region. The patients were considered high risk group for developing HO because of hypertropic osteoarthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis or the presence of previous formed ectopic bone. The average follow up period was 10.2 months(range 6 months

7.Clinical Outcome after Surgical Treatment of Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation with Small Bony Bankart.
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2015;18(3):144-151
BACKGROUND: The consensus is that a bony Bankart lesion shorter than 25% of the length of glenoid does not affect the clinical result; hence, such lesions were often neglected. However, small bony Bankart lesions are associated with various types of capsulolabral lesions. METHODS: A total of 82 patients who had undergone arthroscopic capsulolabral lesion repair surgery for anterior shoulder dislocation were reviewed. The prevalence rates of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions were compared between a group of patients with and a group without small bony Bankart lesions. In addition, the types of accompanying capsulolabral lesion were analyzed according to the type of bony Bankart lesion. Finally, the clinical outcomes were evaluated (active range of motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score and Rowe's score). RESULTS: Among the 13 patients who had small bony Bankart lesions, the prevalence rate of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions was 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Among the 69 patients without bony Bankart lesion, the prevalence rates of early and late type of capsulolabral lesions were 74% and 26%, respectively. Significantly worse clinical outcome was observed for the group of patients with both small bony Bankart lesions and late type of capsulolabral lesion. CONCLUSIONS: More severe type of small bony Bankart lesion appears to be associated with late type of capsulolabral lesion. The significantly worse clinical outcome for patients with both small bony Bankart lesion and late type of capsulolabral lesion indicates that small bony Bankart lesions cannot always be neglected.

8.Relation of internal echo patterns and hemodynamics by incremental dynamic CT in hepatic cavernous hemangioma.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1993;29(4):775-782
To evaluate the correlation between the internal echo patterns and henodynamics in hepatic cavernous hemangioma, we compared the interanal echo pattern with the hemodynamic pattern examined by intravenous bolus CT(multi-phase incremental bolus dynamic CT) in 34 diagnosed hemangiomas (25 patients). We classified cavernous hemangiomas as two different hemodynamic patterns according to the findings of the early phase of intravenous bolus CT scans. Early enhancing type means that most portion of a mass is enhanced during the early hpase and late enhancing type means that only minimal peripheral portion of a mass is enhanced during the early phase. We classified ultrasonogrphic patterns as hypoechoic and hyperechoic according to main echogenicity of the mass. The late enhancing type tends toward the high echo type (20/21) and the early enhancing type tends to ward the low echo type (11/13) (p<0.01) Therefore, we believe that the early enhancing type which represents rapid contrast inflow toward mass, contains large portions of cavernous space and showes hypoechoic, but late enhancing type which represents late contrast inflow toward a mass, contains large portions of fibrous space and showes hyperechoic. In conclusion, there was significant correlation between internal hemodynamics and echo patterns in hepatic cavernous hemangioma.
