The prevalence of syphilis was sharply decreased throughout the world since the introduction of penicillin into the treatment of syphilis in 1943, however recent in formations seemed to be increased in incidence of syphilis since about 1960. In Korea, recent trends of syphilis can hardly be assesed because there are few reports of it. In order to know the current incidence of syphilis in Seoul we carried out S.T.S. in 1046 healthy young men living in Seoul. At that we classified the man as syphilitic who has positive serologic test on both VDRL and RPCF and has not recieved regular antisyplulitic treatment in the past. The result reveala that the incidence of syphilitic infection is 1.72%, which is slightiy decreased statistical figure than in 1960s. There are no much differences in incidence between each group of age or educational degree. Among the 653 unmarried men, 62.3% of them had experiences of sexual contact and their sex partners were business girls, students and prostitutes in order of frequency.

The CRST syndrome, first reported by Winterbauer, represents a benign variant of scleroderma and consists of calcinosis(C), Raynauds phenomenon(R), sclerodactyly(S) and telangiectasia(T). The authors report a case of CRST syndrome confirmed by both clinical and histopathological findings. A 62-year-old female developed subcutaneous nodules on both elbow and knee joints, Raynauds phenomenon, sclerodactyly with acrosclerosis and scleroderrnatous changes on both hands and forearms and telangiectasia on the face, neck, and hands of 15 years duration, but she had no difficulty in swallowing. The authors treated a case of CRST syndrome with weekly intra-arterial administration of reserpine and were impressed not only by the marked loosening of the skin but also by the striking effect on the Raynauds phenornena; the latter disappeared within a few weeks of treatment.

To recognize the hemodynamic change in the constrictive pericarditis, we have reviewed the Doppler echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and pathology of 6 patients who were admitted to Pusan National University Hospital due to right-side heart failure, diagnosed as constrictive pericarditis and were undertaken pericardiectomy. Doppler echocardiographic findings showed that acceleration and deceleration of early diastolic rapid filling were increased, followed by shortening of duration but there was a tendency to decrease in velocity-time integral of early diastolic rapid filling compared to that of atrial contraction filling in the left ventricle. On the contrary, there was decrease in acceleration of rapid filling in right ventricle, but other indices were comparable to that of left ventricle. The integral of D wave increased relatively compared to that of S wave in superior vena canal flow. Also, there was decrease in peak flow velocity, acceleration and velocity-time integral of aortic and pulmonary arterial flow velocity. One patient who had increased fraction of integral of early diastolic rapid filling compared to that of atrial contraction filling in right ventricle showed that he had higher central venous pressure and D wave was dominant in superior vena caval flow. In conclusion, Doppler flow patterns showed characteristic diastolic filling inpairment and systolic dysfunction in constrictive pericarditis, so that Doppler echocardiography is believed to be a useful method of noninvasive diagnosis and follow-up of hemodynamic change in constrictive pericarditis.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the ultrastructural changes of the optic nerve after intravitreal injection of herpes simplex virus-1. METHODS: Herpes simplex virus was separated from the culture media after observing the cytopathic effect on cultured vero cells. Viruses were then injected on the optic nerve head of 21 rabbit eyes. Eyes were enucleated at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 days after injection of herpes simplex virus and examined under the electron microscope. RESULTS: The intranuclear inclusion body was noted in eyes examined at 2 days after injection. The histopathological changes were perivascular infiltration of inflammatory cells, cytoskeletal degeneration of large diameter of myelinated nerve, demyelination of axonal nerve fiber, and the accumulation of mitochondria within axonal nerve fiber. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that optic neuritis may be induced by herpes simplex virus. The accumulation of mitochondria may be related to the interruption of the axonal transport through the axonal nerve fibers of optic nerve.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by defects in the production of connective tissue. Among them, vascular EDS is the subtype known to have the worst prognosis due to fragile blood vessels. Accordingly, we would like to report a case report of a patient with vascular EDS with a review of the literature on possible massive transfusion and anesthesiological problems. Patients with vascular EDS have very weak blood vessels and tissues that are easily broken. So there is a high possibility of unexpected massive bleeding during emergency surgery in these patients. Therefore, the anesthesiologist should be fully prepared for the possibility of massive blood loss, keeping in mind the possibility of damage to large blood vessels. The central vein must be secured using ultrasound, sufficient blood and fluids must be prepared, and equipment capable of rapid administration must be perfectly prepared before the start of operation.

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a significant cause of death in the hospitalized patient in the western and developed countries. The development of PTE and venous thrombi is associated with many and various factors, including that physicians fail to provide adequate prophylaxis to the high risk patients. The authors studied 74 legal autopsy cases performed from 1996 to 2000 at the Headquarters of National Institute of Scientific Investigation, Seoul, Korea. We learned that ceasarian section was the most common precedong trauma in PTE death in legal cases. Excluding Ceasarian section cases, major mechanical injuries, male gender and aging were common factors associated with PTE. Obesity was a common factor in all kinds of trauma. Deep vein thrombi were documented in majority cases and ambulation was a critical triggering cause for the thrombi making PTE. Clinical diagnosis was not so satisfactory.

PURPOSE: To establish normal reference ranges of urinary flow rate related to age, body surface area and voided volume in normal Korean pediatric females, uroflowmetry was performed and analyzed statistically. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Uroflowmetry was performed on total 270 normal pediatric females who ranged in age from 4 to 12 years(mean+/-SD: 7.23+/-1.97 years). The height and weight were measured then body surface area was calculated by Mosteller`s formula. The uroflow data(peak and average flow) were grouped by age(4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12 years old) and body surface area( 1.1 and<1.1 m2) then plotted in volume-related nomograms. RESULTS: Mean values of peak and average flow rates were 13.33+/-4.44 & 7.51+/-2.6, 14.01+/-5.22 & 7.76+/-3.15, 20.40+/-6.84 & 10.89+/-3.97 ml/sec in each age group, and 13.57+/-4.87 & 7.61+/-2.96, 20.14+/-6.44 & 10.65+/-3.79 ml/sec in each body surface area group, respectively. Flow rates were increased significantly with voided volume, age and body surface area. Body surface area was found to be a more reliable index than age in the establishment of nomograms(p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Nomograms of peak and average flow rates of normal Korean pediatric female were presented. These may be useful for diagnosing lower urinary tract disturbances in pediatric female over a wide range of age, body size and voided volumes.
