The corrected transposition of the great arteries is an usual congenital cardiac malformation, which consisitsof transposition of great arteries and ventricular inversion, and which is caused by abnormal developement ofconotruncus and ventricular looping. High frequency of associated cardiac malformations makes it difficult to getaccurate morphologic diagnosis. A total of 18 cases of corrected transposition of the great arteries is presented,in which cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography were done at the Department of Radiology, Seoul NationalUniversity Hospital between Sep. 1976 and June 1981. The clinical, radiogrpahic ,and operative findings with theemphasis on the angiocardiographic findings were analized. The resuls are as follows; 1. Among 18 cases, 13 caseshave normal cardiac position, 2 cases have dextrocardia with situs solitus, 2 cases have dextrocardia with situsinversus and 1 case has levocardia with situs inversus. 2. Segmental sets are {S.L.L.} in 15 cases, and {I.D.D} in3 cases and there is no exception to loop rule. 3. Side by side interrelationships of both ventricles and bothsemilunar valves are noticed in 10 and 12 cases respectively. 4. Subaortic type conus is noted in all 18 cases. 5.Associated cardiac malformations are VSD in 14 cases, PS in 11, PDA in 3, PFO in 3, ASD in 2, right aortic arch in2, tricuspid insufficiency, mitral prolapse, persistent left SVC and persistent right SVC in 1 case respectively.6. For accurate diagnosis of corrected TGA, selective biventriculography using biplane cineradiography is anessential procedure.

The authors have studied on the effect of digital pressure on eyeball under the surface anesthesia instead of other reducing agents of intraocular pressure and retrobulbar anesthesia in order to lower the intraocular pressure as a preoperative procedure of cataract extraction in 26 eyeballs of 24 patients and following results were obtained: 1. The authors had intraocular pressure lowered till averaging 10.8 mmHg (average 13.5 ~ 8.0 mmHg) of original pressure by ocular massage. 2. Massage on eyeball was thought to be a satisfactory preoperative procedure to perform cataract extractIon. 3. In operative complications, loss of vitreous and rupture of capsule were noticed 11.5% and 60% respectively. and it was thought to be caused by technical failure in surgeons. In view of this fact we could not find that the loss of vitreous was caused by intraocular pressure below 13.5 mmHg.

In order to study the vascular manifestation of Behcet's disease, authors analized retrospectively the radiological and clinical features of 22 patients who were diagnosed as vasculo-Behcet's disease. The angiographic findings were aneurysm formation and occlusion of artery and vein, Aneurysm formations were found at common carotid artery (3 cases), abdominal aorta (2 cases), aortic arch (2 cases), innominate artery (2 cases) etc. Arterial occlusions were found at pulmonary artery (2 cases), subclavian artery (1 cases), brachial artery (1 case), common femoral artery (1 case) etc. Venous occlusions were found at the veins of the lower extremities including superficial femoral vein (18 cases), IVC (2 cases), SVC (1 case), and lateral sinus (1 case). The clinical features were similar to that of Behcet's disease without vascular involvement, but incidence of vascular involvement was more common in men and interval between the onset of the disease and vascular symptoms was 1-16 years(77%) and common associated symptoms were oral ulcers(59%) and skin lesions(55%). Angiographically the morphological featured of vasculo-Behcet's disease are not specific, but vascular radiologist must be aware of vascular involvement by Behcet's disease in differential diagnosis when occlusive changes in the venous or arterial tree, or aneurysm formation are seen in young patients.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the indications of operation and radiologic findings in 12 operated DeBakey type III aortic dissections. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed radiologic findings of 12 operated DeBakey type III aortic dissections, using CT, MRI, or aortography, and correlations were made with clinical course of the patients. RESULTS: Three cases were uncomplicated dissections. There were aneurysm rupture in 4 cases, impending rupture in 4 cases, occlusion of common lilac artery in 2 cases, occlusion of renal artery in 1 case, and compression of bronchus and esophagus by dilated aorta in 1 case. Associated clinical sign and symptoms were chest and back pain in 12 cases, claudication in 3 cases, dyspnea and dysphagia in 1 case, hoarseness in 1 case, and hemoptysis in 1 case. Post-operative complications were death from aneurysm rupture in 1 case, paraplegia in 2 cases, acute renal failure in 3 cases, and hemopericardium in 1 case. CONCLUSION: Although medical therapy is preferred in management of DeBakey type Ill aortic dissection, surgical treatment should be considered in patients with radiological findings of aortic rupture, impending rupture, occlusion of aortic major branches.

BACKGROUND: Scabies is an ectoparasite caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis, an obligate human parasite. Although its incidence has been decreasing, it is not a rare dermatologic disease and is difficult to diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of scabies patients and find out etiologic factors in transmission. METHODS: Two hundred and ninety-five patients who were diagnosed with scabies at the Dermatologic Department, Myongji Hospital, Goyang city, Korea were enrolled. Medical records were evaluated in a retrospective manner. RESULTS: We studied 295 scabies patients who were diagnosed by the mineral oil test or skin biopsy. The mean age of the patients was 58.2 (male: 56.7/female: 61.2), and 74% of patients were over 60 years. There was seasonal variation in occurrence, and scabies was found to be most common in winter. The majority of suspected routes of infection were transmission through convalescent hospitals (38.1%) and caregivers (15.2%). Nosocomial infection and communal living were the major causes. 73.8% of scabies patients had underlying medical disease, such as hypertension (32.2%) and dementia (11.9%). CONCLUSION: Currently, scabies prevalence is still increasing in Goyang city, because of the increased number of convalescent hospitals.

Carcinoembriogenic antigen (CEA) was widely used as a marker for staging and detection of recurrence and metastases, and evaluation of response of radical opertion or chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients. METHODS: We examined 50 patients with sigmoid colon and rectal cancer patients who had a radical operation between 1994 May and 1995 April. We checked the level of CEA of peripheral blood preoperatively and postoperatively, and inferior mesenteric vein, bile of gall bladder and peritoneal fluid during surgery. We review clinical characters of the patients, and analyzed the importance of CEA level. RESULTS: The mean CEA levels of peripheral blood (postoperation), inferior mesenteric vein, bile, peritoneal fluid were 5.35+/-2.65, 13.23+/-2.13, 9.23+/-1.65, 7.42+/-2.34 ng/ml respectlively. The mean CEA level of inferior mesentiric vein (13.23+/-2.13 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that of preoperative peripheral blood (8.13+/-2.34 ng/ml) (p<0.05). Falling of postoperative peripheral blood CEA level was also significantly lower than that of preoperative level (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Level of postoperative peripheral blood was related to recurrence rate and survival rate, but tumor size, tumor location, tumor differentiation, Dukes' stage were not related to the CEA level. Bile and peritoneal fluid CEA levels were related with the liver metastasis or local recurrence respectively. We suggest that CEA was useful indicator for evaluation, management, and prognosis of colorectal cancer not only preoperatively but also postoperatively.

PURPOSE: To aid in determining the volume of graft bone required before a maxillary sinus lift procedure and compare the alveolar bone height measurements taken by panoramic radiographs to those by CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data obtained by both panoramic radiographs and CT examination of 25 patients were used in this study. Maxillary sinus volumes from the antral floor to heights of 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm, were calculated. Alveolar bone height was measured on the panoramic images at each maxillary tooth site and corrected by magnification rate (PBH). Available bone height (ABH) and full bone height (FBH) was measured on reconstructed CT images. PBH was compared with ABH and FBH at the maxillary incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. RESULTS: Volumes of the inferior portion of the sinuses were 0.55+/-0.41 cm 3 for 5 mm lifts, 2.11+/-0.68 cm 3 for 10 mm, 4.26+/-1.32 cm 3 for 15 mm, 6.95+/-2.01 cm 3 for 20 mm. For the alveolar bone measurement, measurements by panoramic images were longer than available bone heights determined by CT images at the incisor and canine areas, and shorter than full bone heights on CT images at incisor, premolar, and molar areas (p< 0.001). CONCLUSION: In bone grafting of the maxillary sinus floor, 0.96 cm 3 or more is required for a 5 mm-lift, 2.79 cm 3 or more for a 10 mm-lift, 5.58 cm 3 or more for a 15 mm-lift, and 8.96 cm 3 or more for a 20 mm-lift. Maxillary implant length determined using panoramic radiograph alone could result in underestimation or overestimation, according to the site involved.
