1.Clinical Observation on Coronary Heart Disease.
Korean Circulation Journal 1971;1(2):1-10
One hundred and seven cases of coronary heart disease were clinically studied at Seoul National University Hospital from September 1967 to August 1971 and following results were obtained. 1. The total cases were composed with 70 cases of myocardial infarction (46 cases of acute type and 24 cases of old type), 26 cases of angina pectoris and 11 cases of coronary insufficiency. 2. The ratio of male to female was 3.5:1, and over two-thirds of patients were sixth and seventh decade in ages. 3. As the underlying diseases, hypertension was found in 38.3% of the cases, and diabetes mellitus in 10.3%. 4. Among the various symptoms, precordial pain was a most common and characteristic, which was noted in 81.1% of the cases. Pain was radiated to the left arm and/or left shoulder in 45.2% of the cases. 5. In 57.2% of the cases, serum cholesterol was more than 200mg%. 6. The ratio between anterior and posterior wall infarction on electrocardiogram was about 3.5:1. 7. Left ventricular hypertrophy was the most frequently noted finding, and sinus tachycardia, low voltage, ventricular premature beat, myocardial ischemia, and others were also observed in some cases. 8. Mortality rate was 8.4%, and the major causes of death were cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation.

Diastematomyelia, a form of spinal dysraphism, is characterized by a division of the spinal cord or canda equina resulting the form a bony or cartilaginous spur which transfixes the neural elements and dura. The presence of a structure of neural crest origin in the subarachnoid space connecting the spicules suggested that the anomaly resulted from delayed closure of the neural tube and its investments. The cinical finding are presumed due to its restriction, tethering of the normal apward migration of the spinal cord. Congenital anomalies of one or both lower extremities and spine are frequently found with this condition. The surgical removal is recommended as a prophylactic measure against further progressive neurological damage. The purpose of this paper is to presented becanse it was associated with clubfoot and adds to understanding of teratogenesis of diastematomyelia.

Early gastric cancer is defined carcinoma that is limited to the gastric mucosa and submucosa and that does not extend into the muscularis propria. The development and widespread use of upper gnstrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy and cytology have enhanced our ability to make early diagnosis of gastrie carcinoma. Gastric cancinoma is being diagnosed at an ealry stage aad the survival rates for these patients are significantly greater than those with advanced gastric carcinoma. These ealry lesion can be cured in over 90% of the cases. In fact, it is almost impossible to follow up cases of early gastric cancer without surgical treatment. We report a case developed advanced gastric carcinoma 34 months after initial endoseopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer. A, 48-year-old woman was diagnosed early gaatrie cancer on June 21, 1985 by endoscopy. Proper surgical intetvention was not carried out due to her liver cirrhosis. The follow-up endoscopic examination was done on March 16, 1988. The gastric cancer looked like an advanced stomach and extended to other site.

Fractures significantly involving the weight-bearing articular surface and the overlying metaphysis of the distal tibia have deserved notoriety as a severe and challenging subject of ankle injuries. It was not until 1963 that the AO group developed principles for open reduction and internal fixation of pilon fracture. But recently, limited internal fixation of the joint surface combined with external fixation may avoid the soft tissue complications associated with formal open reduction and internal fixation. We have treated 22 cases of tibial pilon fracture with biologic principle. The mean follow-up period was two years ranging from one to three years. According to the Riiedi and Allgower classification, three cases were type I, five cases were type II, and fourteen cases were type III Biologic treatment includes combination of internal and external fixation, external fixation alone, or plating was done with careful soft tissue dissection, limited stripping of fracture fragments, and indirect reduction technique. Radiographic results were assessed by Burwell and Charnley criteria. Three cases of type I, three cases of type II and seven cases of type III pilon fractures obtained good anatomic radiographic results. We also assessed the functional results by Mast and Teipner criteria. Three cases of type I, three cases of type II, six cases of type III pilon fractures obtained good functional outcome. We believed that combination of internal and external fixation provides the patient who has a markedly displaced pilon fracture and diaphyseal comminution with the best chance of good clinical result and minimal risks. As such, we believe biologic treatment is excellent for these injuries.

BACKGROUND: Methemoglobinemia(MetHb) induced by dapsone overdose is not uncommon in Korea, especially in rural area. For treatment of dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia, methylene blue(MB) and activated charcoal(AC) should be used. To date, no reports have compared the amount of MB used between MB alone with MB & AC combined group(MB+AC). And also between moderate (MetHb<35%) and severe (MetHb>35%) intoxicated group defined by initial MetHb level. Authors hypothesized that less amount of MB can be used if MB and AC was used together and larger amount of MB is necessary to reduce MetHb level to asymptomatic level in severely intoxicated group. METHODS: From Jan 1990 to Dec 1996, a total of 54 patients who received treatment for dapsone intoxication were subject of study, The study was done retrospective chart analysis for initial MetHb level, total amount of MB and AC. Wilcoxon rank sum test and Chi-sqiare test was used to compare the total dosage of MB used for each group. Linear regression analysis was used between initial MetHb and the total amount of MB. Results were considered statistically significant when p<0.05. RESULTS: For MB alone and MB+AC group, the differences in total amount of MB used were statistically significant with mean dosage of 7.14+/-1.1mg/kg and 4.28+/-0.7mg/kg, respectively. And total amount of MB used between moderate and severe intoxicated group, the differences were statistically significant with mean dosage of 5.16+/-1.1mg/kg vs. 10.98+/-1.9mg/kg, respectively. There was significant correlation between initial MetHb level (X) and the amount of methylene blue (Y), Y=0.3X-2.42 (r2=0.41, p=0.0001) in MB alone, Y=0.186X-1.95(r2=0.21, p=0.034) in MB+AC respectively. CONCLUSION: For methemoglobinemia induced by dapsone, total amount of MB can be reduced especially in severe Intoxicated group if AC use was combined in treatment modality. There was significant correlationship between initial MetHb level and total amount of MB used.
