Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is now an accepted technique of myocardial revascularization in selective cases of coronary arterial occlusive disease. We experienced a case of CABG without ECC in a 20 year old female patient with complete occlusion of the right coronary artery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and isoflurane. Nitroglycerine and dopamine were given to stabilize the hemodynamics during intra- and post-operative periods. And esmolol was administered with a loading dose of 30 mg over 1 min, followed by a continuous infusion of 50~100 g/kg/min to maintain the heart rate (50~60 beats/min) and systolic blood pressure (60~80 mmHg) during distal anastomosis. The patient was recovered uneventfully and discharged on the 8th postoperative day.

BACKGROUND: It seems that herpes zoster is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus and its incidence is increasing. The reactivation of the varicella zoster virus is thought to be associated with the disturbance of the state of immunity in patients with herpes zoster. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the state of immunity in patients with herpes zoster in its acute phase(less than 7 days). METHODS: 1. Thirty patients with acute phase herpes zoster matched by age and sex against a control group, were checked for Helper/Inducer T cell(CD4), Suppressor/Cytotoxic T cell(CD8), NK cell, B cell and activated T cell by three color flow cytometric analysis. 2. Forty patients with herpes zoster measured delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity by means of Multitest' CMI. 3. Thirty patients with herpes zoster measured Ig G, M, A by means of N-antisera method.

PURPOSE: Few epidemiologic studies have investigated aggressive periodontitis in Koreans, but such studies of disease prevalence and other clinical characteristics would be invaluable in providing proper treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of aggressive periodontitis and to measure the extent of associated periodontal breakdown. METHODS: The study population consisted of 1,692 patients who visited the Department of Periodontology, Wonkwang Daejeon Dental Hospital from January to December, 2010. Clinical parameters (probing depth, gingival recession, periodontal attachment loss) were measured by a single examiner, and radiographic examination was performed at the baseline. RESULTS: Twenty-eight (1.65%) patients showed clinical features of aggressive periodontitis, of which 27 patients exhibited the generalized form, and 1 exhibited the localized form. There was no significant difference between the percentage of male and female patients. The probing pocket depth of the maxillary first molar was deeper than that of the other teeth and gingival recession was also the most serious at the maxillary first molar. The periodontal attachment loss was the highest at the maxillary first molar. The average number of missing teeth was 1.29 per subject. Loss of the second molar was prominent. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, the periodontal breakdown evaluated by attachment loss was found to be most severe at the first molars of aggressive periodontitis patients. However, further large scale multicenter studies are necessary to access more precise data, including prevalence.

Pleomorphic adenoma in lacrimal gland is a rare disease. Injuries to capsule surrounding the tumor lead to recurrence or malignant transformation of tumor by seeding of tumor cells into adjacent tissues. Therefore complete removal of tumor without any injury to capsule is important. We present 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland with symptoms of exophthalmos, hypophthalmos and supraduction limitation. We performed frontatemporal craniotomy and removed orbital roof for the exposure of the tumor located at superior portion of orbit. We removed the tumor with intact capsule avoiding any damage to superior levator palebral muscle and superior rectus muscle microscopically. Periosteum of superior orbital roof was repaired and frontal bone was repositioned. As a result, patients had no symptoms of exophthalmos, hypophthalmos and supraduction limitation. There are no complications of ptosis, diplopia, dry eye syndrome, symblepharon and scar on the face. Transcranial approach for removal of pleomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland provides wide exposure of the tumor for complete removal of the mass without any damage to surrounding tissues and good cosmetic effects.
