This study was undertaken to observe the effects of centrally administred antihistamines on the blood pressure. Diphenhydramine(DPH), a H1-receptor antagonist, and ranitidine(RAN), a H2-receptor antagonist were administered intracerebroventricularly(icv) on urethane-anesthetized rabbits. 1) Both DPH and RAN administered intraccebroventricularly increased blood pressure, however the intravenous(iv) adminstration of them did not affect blood pressure. The pressor response to icv DPH was dose-dependent, but that to icv RAN was not. 2) The pressor response to icv DPH(1mg) was either markedly attenuated or reversed to depressor response by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(250,500ug), and iv chlorisondamine(0.1, 1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). In cord-sectioned rabbtis, icv RAN) 1mg) did not produce pressor response. 3) The pressor responsr to icv RAN(1mg) was not affected by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(500ug), iv chlorisondamin(1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg), and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). RAN also producted pressor response in cordsectioned rabbits. These results suggest that the pressor response to icv DPH is elecited by increasing peripheral sympathetic tone via the stimulation of central alpha-adrenoreceptors and the pressor response to icv RAN is produced by releasing some humoral facotr which can increase blood pressure.

Twin pregnancies represent a high risk obstetric population with perinatal morbidity and mortality much greater than that of singleton pregnancies. A retrospective dinical evaluation was attempted to analyse 211 cases of twin pregnancies in Chunchon Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University from Jan. l. 1988 to Dec. 31. 1997. The results were as follows. 1) The incidence of twin pregnancy was 1 in 93.9 deliveries. 2) The age of mother ranged from 19 to 42 years and predominant age group was 26-30 which covers 43.1% of all. 3) Nullipara was 61.1% and multipara was 38.9%. 4) The predominant gestational age group at delivery was 36-37 weeks, 33.2%. 5) In presentation, both cephalic combination was 46.4%, cephalic-breech was 26.1%. 6) The birth weight was less than 2500gm in 64.9% of the 1st babies and 70.6% of the 2nd babies, respectively. 7) The rate of cesarean section was 89.0%. The indications of cesarean section were malpresention (48.9%), elective cesarean section(38.8%), and toxemia(9.0%). 8) In 23 cases of vaginal delivery, the average duration of labor was 7.0 hours and 43.5% of 2nd baby was delivered within 5 min after 1st baby delivery, 9) The most frequent maternal complications during pregnancy were anemia(36.0%), preterm labor(34.6%) and preeclamsia(17.5%). 10) The perinatal mortality rate of the first and second twins was 10.4% and 12.3%, respectively. The main causes of perinatal death were prematurity(52.1%) and stillborn(22.9%). 11) Both female was 43.6%, both male was 39.3%, and opposite sex was 17.1% in infant.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between the planned and verified actual values in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed using a navigation system. Methods: Sixty patients who underwent primary TKA for knee pain from March 2018 to July 2018 were included in this study.All patients underwent TKA using the latest version of a computer navigation system (Kick ver. 2.6). All TKA procedures were performed by the same surgeon. The appropriateness of the use of navigation system in each of the several steps during the operation was investigated. Implant size was assessed using a preoperative template and after registration of landmarks with the navigation system. Intraoperative measurement was conducted using a femoral sizing implant apparatus. The difference between the planned value based on the navigation system and the actual cutting value was investigated. Intraoperatively confirmed hip-knee-ankle angle was also compared to the angle measured at postoperative 3 months. Results: The average time spent on the registration process was 242 seconds (range, 205–345 seconds). Intraoperative femoral component size tended to be smaller than the size recommended by the navigation system. A significant difference between the planned distal femoral cutting level (9.08 ± 0.40 mm) and the verified actual cutting level (9.87 ± 1.39 mm) was identified (p < 0.05).The difference between the planned lateral and medial tibial resection levels (10.12 ± 0.34 mm and 4.47 ± 2.17 mm, respectively) and the verified actual lateral and medial tibial resection levels (9.07 ± 1.45 mm and 3.48 ± 2.00 mm, respectively) was statistically significant. Distal femoral cutting angle in sagittal plane was significantly different but femoral and tibial cutting angles showed no significant difference between the planned and verified values. At full extension, the average coronal alignment of the implant recorded after insertion of the actual implant using the navigation system was 0.23° ± 0.51° varus and showed no significant difference from the alignment measured at postoperative 3 months (0.45° ± 0.58°). Conclusions When performing navigation-assisted TKA, surgeons should aware that frequent errors can occur on the femoral cutting level, tibial cutting level, and implant sizing despite its reported advantage in defining the mechanical limb axis.

Skull base surgery has developed through the evolution of imaging, anatomic research, surgical approach and reconstructive techniques. The basic disciplines of approaching skull base lesions are provide direct vision, minimizing brain retraction, excellent exposure and minimal blood loss. The focus of this report is to review the advantages of skull base approach in our cases and suggest some indications. We experienced 20 cases of skull base surgery by a team approach consisting of a neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon. The surgical approach were supraorbital osteotomy(5 case), orbitozygomatic osteotomy(8 case), orbitozygomaticoglenoid osteotomy (5 case ) and orbitozygomaticoglenoidocondylar osteotomy (2 case). In our experience, these approaches provided excellent exposure of the lesion, direct access to lesions and minimal brain retraction thereby better outcome.
