The purpose of this study was to determine the urinary Ca, P, Mg, Zn, Cu, and Mn levels and bone mineral density (BMD) in sixty-two postmenopausal women. The study was conducted through anthropometric checkup, 24-hour recall, 24-hour urine and bone mineral density using DEXA. Average age, height, weight and body fat of the subjects were respectively 65.39 years, 150.19 cm, 58.03 kg and 37.22%. The average spine and femoral neck BMD of subjects were -2.19, -3.13. The mean intakes of Ca, P and Mg were 524.7 mg, 993.10 mg, and 254.6 mg and those of Zn, Cu and Mn were 8.6 mg, 1.5 mg, and 3.5 mg. The average 24-hour urinary excretion of Ca (UCa), P (UP) and Mg (UMg) were 161.07 mg, 673.68 mg, and 99.87 mg. The average 24-hour urinary excretion of Zn (UZn), Cu (UCu) and Mn (UMn) were 366.50 microg, 22.57 microg, and 1.55 microg. Ca intake showed significantly positive correlations with urinary UCa (p < 0.05), UMg (p < 0.01) and spine BMD (p < 0.05). P intake showed significantly positive correlations with UCa (p < 0.05), UMg (p < 0.05) and UZn (p < 0.05). Mg intake showed significantly positive correlations with UZn (p < 0.05) and Mn intake showed significantly positive correlations with UCa (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicates that Ca intake and UMg is the most important factor to increase spine BMD. On the other hand, UCa is the most important factor to decrease spine BMD. Higher femoral neck BMD was related to UP, while lower femoral neck BMD was related to UCa. In conclusion, Dietary intake of Ca showed positive effect of spine BMD, while excessive P intake showed negative effect on BMD due to increases in UCa, UMg and UZn. Further studies are required to investigate the relationship between bone metabolism and mineral excretion.

Orthopedic surgery was performed under Thalamonal-N2O-O2 anesthesia by an intravenous injection of a small dose of Thalamonal and N2O inhalation. Respiratory rate was compared before and after intravenous administration of nalorphine at the end of operation. From 22 cases, the following results were obtained: 1) Average dose of Thalamonal during induction of anesthesia was 1.67ml/10kg. During induction, rigidity of chest wall developed in 5 cases, 2) Intermittent injections of Thalamonal for maintenance of anesthesia were needed at. each 43. 8 min. interval, and average dose of Thalamonal was 0. 013 ml/kg/30min. 3) After injection of nalorphine, average rate of respiration per minute increased from 15. 1 to 21. 1(39. 9%) 4) 21 cases among 22 cases recovered promptly after discontinuation of N2O, and recovery was delayed in 1 case. Self extubation was seen in 3 cases.

Pulmonary carcinosarcoma(Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung) is a rare pulmonary malignancy, which is defined as having an admixtture of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma occurs most frequentlly in males between 50 and 80 years of age. It predominantly affects the upper lobe and/or the principal bronchi, and is associated with a history of smoking. Here, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma with a left lobe atelectasis due to an endobronchial mass in a 56-year-old male. After a left pneumonectomy, the pathologic stage was IIb (T3N0M0). Four months later, an abdominal mass was observed and exploratory laparotomy revealed metastases of the pulmonary carcinosarcoma to the pelvic cavity.

Purpose: We report the first case of bilateral paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) after severe headache in a Korean patient.Case summary: A 43-year-old woman with herniation of a lumbar disk visited the emergency room with a 5-day history of headache and bilateral visual disturbance. She experienced a severe headache, facial fever, and partial visual field defects in both eyes. There were no neurologic symptoms, related acute brain disease or lesions on brain/orbit magnetic resonance imaging.Her best corrected visual acuity was 0.8 (right eye) and 0.5 (left eye), which was lower than. There were no relative afferent pupillary defects, color deficits, or any ocular movement disorder. Her intraocular pressures were normal, but a Humphrey visual field test identified multiple atypical scotomas in both eyes. Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed multiple light gray exudates with unclear margins surrounding the maculas of both eyes. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed some localized hyper-reflective lesions located in the inner plexiform, inner nuclear, and outer plexiform layers. On optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examination, there was a normal choriocapillaris and a reduction of the inner retinal capillary plexus corresponding to the lesions in the fundus examination. Fluorescent angiography revealed early localized nonperfusion areas and a late leak in the same lesions. In addition, there was delayed filling of the peripheral retina and a late leak. Conclusions It is important to consider PAMM in patients who show sudden visual loss or visual field defects and SD-OCT and OCTA may assist in the diagnosis.
