Recently, the radionuclide angiocardiographic study had been enhanced by rapid development of gamma scintillation camera and computer system, and utilized as noninvasive diagnostic measurement of heart disease. We obtained the following results by the radionuclide angiocardiography with human serum albumin tagged with 99m-Technetium from two groups. One of them was congenital heart disease group(n=50, ventricular septal defect 20, atrial septal defect 6, pulmonary stenosis 2, tetralogy of Fallot 10, truncus arteriousus 1, transposition of great artery 1, patent ductus arteriosus 10) operated from Oct. 1984 to Jun. 1985, and the other was the normal human group(n=10) as control. 1) In the cases of left to right shunt, Qp/Qs values were calculated by th gamma variet fit curve. The preoperative values ranged from 1.441-3.00, the postoperative values were normal among all the patients except one(atrial septal defect, postop. Qp/Qs 2.335). 2) In the cases of right to left shunt, Qp/Qs values showed no apparent change between pre. andpostoperative period, possibly due to still remained collateral circulation and hardly obtained lower value(less than QP/QS 1.0) by computer system, But the double peak curve was noticed in the left ventricular time activity curve, which indicate right to left shunt, disappeared after the surgery, suggesting shunt closed. 3) The ejection fraction of left ventricle was obtained from the congential cardiac patients, ranged 0.38-0.65 before the surgery and 0.41-0.67 after the surgery. 4) The circulation time calculated from the first-pass radionuclide angiocardiography, ranged normal in the most congenital cardiac patients, but prolonged in the severe pulmonary hypertension.

Subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia is an uncommon disease characterized by eosinophilia, proliferation of the capillary vessels and lymphoid tissue and infiltration of the inflammatory cell, especially eosinophils. The etiology of the disease are obscure, but probably trauma, lower grade infection, nervous factor & hormonal status etc. The predilection sites are face, ears, scalf & neck, but rarely reported in the extremities. We experienced a case of subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia of the inguinal region and anteromedial side of the proximal thigh in a 10 year-old man who complained pain and tenderness on the above region. The patient was treated by excision with satisfactory result.

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a rare disease characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia and non-malignant lymphohistiocytic infiltration with hemophagocytosis in reticulendothelial organs. We experienced three cases of FHL in identical male twins and their younger brother who presented with fever and severe hepatosplenomegaly. Cytopenia, elevated serum transaminase and low serum albumin levels, hypertriglyceridemia were common laboratory findings of them. One of them showed markedly decreased phytohemagglutinin induced lymphocyte proliferation and reversed CD4/CD8 ratio (0.52) in flowcytometric lymphocyte subset analysis. Aspirate of bone marrow revealed typical features consistent with FHL in two of them. In spite of recent therapeutic approaches, none of them survived.

Nine species of genus Ganoderma collected in Korea and abroad including Ganoderma lucidum complex and G. lucidum were compared by investigating growth characteristics. In the bottle culture, the mycelial growth periods of G. lucidum from Taiwan and North America was 26 to 30 days compared to that of Korean G. lucidum, which was 30 to 32 days. Cultivation period of Taiwan and North American isolates was 30 to 32 days which were 11 to 17 days shorter than those of Korean isolates. Biological efficiency of Taiwan and North American isolates were ranged from 3.3 to 5.5%, which were apparently lower than that of Korean isolates which ranged from 6.2 to 9.4%. Korean isolates had longer stipes(15~40 mm) and more number of pileus(4~6/bottle) than those of Taiwan and North American isolates. The G. lucidum isolates collected from Korea will be regarded as the independent species from the G. lucidum collected from Taiwan and North America since, the G. lucidum from Korea showed much different growth characteristics in various aspects compared to the G. lucidum from Taiwan and North America.

PURPOSE: Kawasaki disease is notorious for coronary arterial complication which is usually developed as a febrile disease in early childhood. Increased polymorphonucleus(PMN) cell levels in acute phases may be associated with the pathophysiology of Kawasaki disease. We studied the relationship between coronary arterial dilatation and elastase activity which was excreted from PMN cell and roles as an important factor for vasculitis. METHODS: Ten patients diagnosed with Kawasaki disease in Yonsei University Medical Center were examined between November, 2001 and January, 2002. In addition, 15 patients with other febrile diseases were also examined. Echocardiography was done in patients with Kawasaki disease on the first day of admission and four weeks after the onset of the disease. At each time, venous samples were drawn and separated into plasma and leukocytes. In patients with other febrile disease, samples were drawn on admission. Elastase activities in plasma and neutrophil extracts were measured. RESULTS: The significant increased plasma elastase activity, 6.19+/-0.74 U/mL, found in Kawasaki disease patients compared with the other febrile disease patients, 4.86+/-1.17 U/mL(P<0.05). And there was no significance between the above two diseases in terms of the elastase activity in neutrophil extracts. The relationship between initial elastase activity and the coronary arterial complication which was shown in subacute phase wasn't significant. CONCLUSION: Plasma elastase activity was increased in Kawasaki disease significantly, but the initial plasma elastase activity in the acute phase could not reflect the range of coronary arterial complication.
