Many techniques have been tried to avoid the adverse effect of succinylcholine administe-red for endotracheal intubation especially wish the complication of increased IOP, hyperk-alemia, aspirationl pneumonia and post operative muscle pain, One of these is that the prior administration of a small, subparalyzing dose(15 ug/kg) of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant would shorten the onset time of an intubating dose(80 ug/kg) of muscle relaxant. Intra-venous lidocaine has bean effective in attenuating the reflex intra-ocular response to laryngoscopy Therefore, we determined the effectiveness of this drug regimen with and without intra venous lidocaine to attenuate the IOP, blood pressure and heart rate response to laryngos-copy and endotracheal intubation. Forty patients were divided intro two groups. Group l (n=20) administered saline 5 ml. Group ll(n=70) administered 2% preservative free lidocaine(1.5 mg/kg) as pretreatment drug. The results are as follows : 1) There was no statistically significant difference of intubation condition between one and another group. Among the forer patients, Grade 1,2,3,4 are 8(20%), 19(47.5%), 13(32.5%),0, in orders. 2) In the Saline Group, IOP, BP, HR increased significantly after laryngoscopy compared wiith control value. (p<0.001, P<0.05/p<0,001, p<0.005) and maintained above control values to 4~5 minutes later. 3) In the Lidocaine Group, IOP, BP, HR increased slightly after laryngoscopy compared with control value, but thege changes were not statistically significant, and decreased below control values in 2 min, 2min, 3 min after laryngoscopy each to each. From the above results, it is suggested that combined method of pretreatment of 2% lidofaine(1.5 mg/tg) and divided dose of pancuronium is valuable in general anesthesia of ophthalmic patient who need to attenuate the IOP.

BACKGROUND: Free radical reactions are a part of normal human metabolism. When produced in excess, radicals can cause tissue injury. The present study was aimed to investigate neurotoxic effect of oxygen free radicals and neuroprotective effect of antioxidant(glutathione). METHODS: Neurotixic effect of oxygen radicals was evaluated by MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay and neurofilament enzyme-immunoassay after culturing of spinal motor neuron cell line of mouse(NSC-34). Then these cells were exposed to various concentrations of xanthine oxidase(XO) and hypoxanthine(HX). In addition, neuroprotective effect of antioxidant against oxidant-induced neurototoxicity on these cultures was examined. RESULTS: Exposure of neurons to 25mU/ml XO and 0.2mM HX for 3 hours resulted in a significant cell death and also glutathione(GSH) blocked the neurotoxicity induced by oxygen radicals in cultured mouse spinal motor neurons. CONCLUSION: From the above results, it is suggested that oxygen radicals are toxic in NSC-34. Selective antioxidants such as GSH are effective in blocking oxidant-induced neurotoxicity on these cultures.

Congenital urethral polyps are uncommon cause of urethral obstruction in male subjects. And polyps of the anterior urethra are considerably less common than those of the posterior urethra. Here in we report a case of anterior urethral polyps in a child with brief review of the literature.

From August 1976 to February 1997, we have experienced 29 cases of rapidly destructive coxarthrosis in 23 patients who represented severe hip pain and destruction of the femoral head more than 50% within one year. The retrospective analyses of clinical, radiographic and operative findings of 2090 hips in 1534 patients, who have been diagnosed as ischemic necrosis of femoral head were performed to investigate the correlation between ischemic necrosis of the femoral head and rapidly destructive coxarthrosis. The incidence of rapidly destructive coxarthrosis was 1 % of the overall ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. The average duration of hip pain was 9 months. The average age of the patients was 56 years old and most of them were male. The cultures of synovial fluid for bacteria were negative in all cases except one case of non-pathogenic organism. But, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were elevated. The pathologic findings were not different from the ischemic necrosis except the destruction of articular cartilage. Therefore, we concluded that rapidly destructive coxarthrosis is a subtype of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head.

In order to study the effect of spinal morphine on the tourniquet pain, 40 patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery on the lower extremity under spinal anesthesia were allocated randomly to two groups. In the experimental group, 20 patients received hyperbaric T-cain 10 mg and morphine 0.3 mg (0. 15 ml). In the control group, 20 patients received T-cain 10 mg and saline 0.15 ml. The levels of analgesia and motor block were similar in both groups. During surgery, patients in both groups did not complain of tourniquet pain, whereas one patient in the control group required general anesthesia for surgical pain although the sensory block extended to T(7). In the recovery room, when the sensory block had regressed to the Tdermatomal level, the pain response was checked on the contralateral unoperated thigh in a 60 min tourniquet pressure experiment (350 mmHg for 20 min, 0 mmHg for 20 min, 350 mmHg for 20 min). Seventeen patients in the experimental group experimenced no pain in this test, compared with four patients in the control group. From this study, it is suggested that intrathecal morphine prevents tourniquet pain and it may have some inhibitory effect on tourniquet pain transmission at the spinal cord level.

The effects and interactions of pipecuronium and atracurium with diltiazem and verapalmil on the electrically-evoked twitch response, train-of-four and tetanic stimulation were studied in the isolated rat phrenic-hemidiaphragm preparation. Pipecuronium (3X10(-7) -4X10(-6)) and atracurium (10(-6) -3X10(-5) M) decreased the electrically-evoked twitch response, train-of-four and tetanus ratio in a dose-related fashion and the pipecuronium was more potent than atracurium. The inhibitory effects of pipecuronium and atracurium were potentiated by pretreatment of 5 uM diltiazem and verapamil, Ca++-channel blokers, in which the concentration of diltiazem or verapamil has no obvious effect on the twitch response itself. Futhermore, it is noteworthy that the inhibitory effects of pipecuronium and atraeurium were markedly potentiated by 150 uM hemicholinium pretreatment. On the basis of these findings, the results of present study suggests that the muscle relaxation by pipecuronium and atracurium is mediated by pre- and post-junctional receptor blockade, and that diltiazem or verapamil intensifies neuromuscular blockade produced by these musele relaxants. The potentiating effect of diltiazem or verapamil may be due to blocking influx of calcium and/or release of acetylcholine from presynaptic nerve terminals.

A Clinical study was carried out on 39 cases with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis who were admitted to the department of Pediatrics, Catholic Medical College, during the 7 years 8 months from January 1971 to August 1978. The following results were obrained. 1. The age incidence was highest in the 2-4 weeks of age and 82.0% were under the 8 weeks. Af age Male to female ratio was 12:1. 2. The age at onset was within 3 weeks of age in the majority cases(69.2%). 3. In distribution of birth weight, the majority cases(75%) were 3.0~4.0kg. and 18 cases(46%) were first born bady. 4. In the body weight percentile on admission, the jahority cases(75.4%) were under the 25 percentile. 5. The kinds of feeding in order of frequency were breast(41.0%), bottle(30.8%) and mixed feeding(28.2%). 6. The average duration of symptoms prior to operation was 17 days. 7. On the physical examination, gastric peristaltic wave was observed in 30 cases(77%) and the pyloric tumor mass was palpated in 26 cases(67%). And Projectile vomitiong and dehydration were observed in all cases. 8. Barium meal X-ray study showed the string sign in 33 cases(88.9%).
