1.Treatment of Complete Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation by Weaver and Dunn Method
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1980;15(4):760-764
From March 1973 to May 1979 at Hanil Hospital, seven patients with acute complete disiocation and three patients with chronic complete dislocation of the acromloelavlcular Joint had been treated surgically by Weaver and Dunn method which combines resection arthroplasty of the acromioclavicular jolnt with flxation of the clavlcle In an anatomical position by suture of the acromial end of the shortened coracoacromial ligament into the medullary canal of the clavicle. The results were considerably good In both acute and chronic cases. Full range of motion was observed on average In eight weeks in most cases.

The age of puberty represents a very critical time in the life history of every young woman. The menarche stands as primary indicator of the onset of sexual maturation in females. According to several studies, menarcheal age in Korean girls has dropped from about 15 years of age in 1960s to 13.5 years of age in 1980s. This findings show a pronounced secular trend to earlier maturation. The purpose of this study is to determine (1) the average age at menarche in Korea in present time, (2) the secular trend of menarcheal age, and (3) the geographic regional influence on menarche. The data sampling was obtained from the physical examination cards of women students in Yonsei University who entered from 1983 to 1991. The data which was obtained from the number of 7761 was analysed by dBase III plus and SAS program. The results are as follows: 1) The mean menarcheal age of the subjects was 13.7+/-1.2 years. 2) Age at menarche has been getting earlier by some 7.4 months during the period of recent II years. 3) Comparing to the decreasing secular trend of menarcheal age, the height and weight showed increasing trend. 4) There were significant differences in menarcheal age, height, weight among geographic regions. We conclude that the results indicate an accelerating secular trend in age of menarche in Korea.

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.

Dynamic cardiomyoplasty is a recently introduced surgical method to improve myocardial performance. It consists of a placement of a skeletal muscle flap around the heart and stimulation of the flap in synchrony with ventricular contraction. We experienced a case of cardiomyoplasty in a 25 year old male patient with congestive heart failure. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and isoflurane. The operation was performed for 8hrs without cardiopulmonary bypass and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. He was mechanically ventilated electively overnight and extubation was done 18hrs postoperatively. The patient was discharged home on the 40days after operation and improved in exercise tolerance. We report the anesthetic management and hemodynamic changes in a patient who underwent dynamic cardiomyoplasty.

5.Ten years of experience with various penile prosthesis in Korean.

Yonsei Medical Journal 1994;35(2):209-217
Currently there are more than 10 types of penile prosthesis available, ranging from the very simple to the very sophisticated. We review our experiences with various penile prosthesis, with particular regard to the complication rate. From Dec. 1983 to Jul. 1993, we implanted 295 penile prosthesis of eight different types. The average age of patients was 44 years. Every patient was evaluated with various multidisplinary diagnostic approaches. The etiologies of impotence were vasculogenic 29%, diabetogenic 22%, spinal cord injury 16%, pelvic bone injury 11%, etc. The types of implanted prosthesis were AMS malleable 143, Jonas 42, Dynaflex 36, Hydroflex 8, Uni-Flate 1000 2, AMS 700 CXM 58, Ultrex 3, Mentor alpha-1 3 and the mean follow-up period was 34 months. The diameters of implanted prosthesis were from 9.5 mm to 13 mm, mostly 9.5 mm (52.9%). The length of implanted prosthesis were from 10 cm to 20 cm, mostly 16 approximately 18 cm (68.8%). Cases with uneven diameters or lengths were 20 (6.8%). The int aoperative complications were 1 corporeal rupture and 1 bladder rupture, and the postoperative complications were 2 prosthesis infections, 2 mechanical failures, and 1 prosthesis infection with mechanical failure. In those 4 patients reimplantations were successful. More than 99% (290/291) patients still have functioning prosthesis. Every prosthesis has their advantages and disadvantages. Factors to be analysed in the selection of proper prosthesis should include patients economic status, education, personality, social activity, hand dexterity, and penile size.

The diameters of implanted prosthesis were from 9. 5mm to l3mm, mostly 9.5mm(52.9%) range. The length of implanted prosthesis were from 10cm to 20cm, mostly 16-l8cm( 68.8%). Cases with uneven diameters or lengths were 20(6.8 %). The intraoperative complications were 1 corporeal rupture and 1 bladder rupture, and the postoperative complications were 2 prosthesis infections, 2 mechanical failures, and 1 prosthesis infection with mechanical failure. In 4 patients reimplantations were successful. More than 99% ( 290/291) patients still have functioning prosthesis. Every prosthesis has their advantages and also disadvantages. Factors to be analysed in the selection of proper prosthesis should include patients economic status, education, personality, social activity, hand dexterity, and penile size. So far by our 10 years experience, we believe that 3-piece inflatable prosthesis especially AMS 700 CXM, which is designed to fit the orienta1 penile size, is excellent in quality and reliability.

Jehovah,s Witnesses who require operation represent a challenge to the physician because of the patient,s refusal to accept blood transfusion. An orthotopic heart transplantation was succesfully performed in a 40-year old Jehovah,s Witness without use of any blood product. During the operation, cell saver was used for shed blood and aprotinin was administered intravenously. The use of blood conserving methods, meticulous operative technique and brisk postoperative diuresis has added to the efficacy of heart transplantation in this patient. Total postoperative drainage was 860 ml and the lowest hemoglobin level was 11.8 g%. The patient recovered uneventfully and discharged on the 60th postoperative day.

Forty two high risk low birth weight infants who had been admitted in neonatal intensive care unit at Yongdong Severance Hospital from August 1987 to July 1990 and followed up in the high risk infants follow-up clinic were studied for evaluation of their development using the Bayley develop-mental test at the age of 9 month(corrected age). The results obtaincd were as follows: 1) Their Mental Developmental Index(MDI)and Psychomotor Developmental Index(PDD)were 99.4+/-12.8 and 101.8+/-16.6 MDI and PDI in birth weight 1000~1500 gm group were 95.3+/-9.8 and 99.3+/-14.3 and the indexes in birth weight 1500~2500gm group were 102.2+/-14.3 and 103.5+/-17.9. 2) There is no statistical significant relationship between the results of Bayley scales and birth weight, cranial ultrasonographic finding, APGAR score, ventilator care and neonatal seizure. However, the MDI was significantly lower in small for gestational age group than appropriate gestational age group. 3) The body weight, height and head circumference measured at the age of 9 month, at the same time when Baylcy developmcntal test was performed, were 45.0+/-29.6, 40.2+/-25.7 and 46.2+/-26.8percentile of Korean Pediatric Growth Standard(1985).
