In order to evaluate the hypotensive effect of the lisinopril, a long acting angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, 10 to 30mg of lisinopril were administered in 35 hypertensive Korean adults during six weeks after a week observation for washout with stepwise increments of the dose according to the response of the patients blood pressure in every two weeks. The results were ; 1) The supine blood pressures were decreased from 163.7+/-16.6/99.8+/-9.3mmHg to 140.7+/-15.5/87.4+/-9.9mmHg at the end of six weeks' drug therapy(p<0.001). The standing blood pressures were also decreased conferrably and to the some lower levels. 2) In 14 patients to whom the drug was administered longer period(12 to 28 weeks) the blood pressure lowering effects were maintained at the level of that of 6th week. 3) Hematologic examination and blood chemistry revealed no discernible abnormal findings before and after the treatment. 4) In those patients who showed no adequate blood pressure control with other classes of antihypertensive drugs the lisinopril was effective in lowering their blood pressures by adding small doses. 5) During the period of the study a few probably drug-related symptoms developed but not troublesome except dry cough and dry mouth shich forced to stop administering the drug after completion of six weeks' period in one patients. From above results we concluded that lisnopril is effective and safe for the treatment of hypertension in Korean adults.

OBJECTIVE: The ovarian cycle is characterized by repeating patterns of cellular proliferation and differentiation that accompany follicular development and the formation and regression of the corpus luteum (CL). That angiogenesis may play an important role in this process. Angiogenesis is supposed to be regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The goal of the present investigation, therefore, was to determine whether the expression of VEGF was changed in the normally cycling human ovary. We also investigated VEGF expression in the regressed CL (ie, nonfunctiong CL) of normal term pregnancy to define the association with steroidogenic activity. To our knowledge there is no report available on VEGF expression in the CL of term pregnancy. METHODS: We assessed VEGF expression in ovaries obtained from, 26-42 yr of age, and from patients undergoing hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy for nonendocrinological or nonovarian disorders. Tissue samples from premenopausal women included specimens from follicular (n=4) and luteal (n 4) phases. In addition, we studied ovarian specimens from pregnant women (n=3). Immunohistochemical analysis for VEGF was performed using a rabbit polyclonal antibody directed against human VEGF. RESULTS: These data demonstrate a development-related VEGF expression in the follicle and indirectly show that VEGF expression may be up to the existence of LH-receptor. And also, VEGF was overexpressed in the regressed CL of pregnant women compared with the functioning CL of nonpregnant cycles CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the intensity of VEGF expression is not correlated with steroidogenic activity, although both of them are stimulated by LH.

Hyper-activated depressor septi nasi is an important factor caused a nasal tip drooping and many studies have been carried out, however it still remains controversial. This study presents a surgical modality for its intervention, based on the anatomical study. Eleven fixed and six fresh cadavers were used for the study. We found that the depressor septi nasi was consisted of three fascicles. Medial fascicles were inserted into the dermocartilaginous ligament, and deep fibers of the medial fascicles were attached to the anterior nasal spine. After superficial fibers were interdigitated with the orbicularis oris, they were attached to the alveolar bone. Intermedial fascicles were inserted to the footplates of the medial cruses and the caudal septum. After they were interdigitated with the medial fascicle and the orbicularis oris, they were attached to the alveolar bone. From April to August 2008, five patients had surgical intervention for hyper-activated depressor septi nasi. Medial and intermedial fascicles were detached completely from the anterior nasal spine and the septum through intranasal approach. Tip droopings were improved in all cases. Specific complications were not found. We believe that surgical intervention through intranasal approach is a useful method for correction of tip drooping.

Pacemaker Runaway is a rare, but potentially lethal complication after pacemaker implantation. Pacemaker runaway was one of the common manifestations of malfunctioning pacemaker at the time of fixed rate pacemaker, but has been less common after the demand type pacemaker had replaced the fixed rate model. The early recognition of runaway pacemaker is very important because runaway pacemaker can cause bradyarrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia-fibrillation and asystole resulting in syncope or death. We report a clinical experience of runaway pacemaker in 68 year-old woman, who received permanent pacemaker implantation(fixed rate 72/min, VVI, Micropulse 22U, Edwards system) due to sick sinus syndrome eight years ago. She complained of sudden chest tightness and dyspnea 10 days prior to admission. On physical examination, increased jugular venous pressure, rapid heart beats, basal rales on both lung fields and three finger-breath tender hepatomegaly. Electrocardiogram showed a rapid pacemaker rhythm of 140 beats per minute. So, the malfunctioning pacemaker was removed and replaced with a new programmable demand type pacemaker(VVI, OPTIMA-MP, Telectronics) in the same pocket under the diagnosis of pacemaker runaway. Her subject symptoms were relieved and electrocardiogram showed a regular pacemaker rhythm of 71 BPM. She was discharged ten days after pacemaker replacement.

To evaluate the incidence and clinical course of AV conduction disturbances associated with acute myocardial infarction(MI) and coronary angiographic characteristics in acute inferior MI with AV blocks. We reviewed the medical records and serial ECG's in 89 patients with acute MI treated in CCU of Chonnam National University Hospital from january, 1987 through August, 1990. The subjects were 44 anterior MI's, 43 inferior MI's, and 2 anterior and inferior MI's. AV conduction disturbances were observed in 25.8% of all the patients with acute MI's, 48.8% of 43 inferior MI's and 4.5% of 44 anterior MI's. High degree AV block was observed in 20.0% of all the subjects, 39.3% of inferior MI patients, and none of anterior MI patients. The most severe AV blocks observed in each patients were 7(30.4%) first-degree, 5(21.7%) second-degree, and 11(47.8%) third-degree AV block. The initial AV conduction disturbances developed within 6 hours after onset of symptoms in 9(47.4%) and after 24-hours in 9(47.4%). Seven(30.4%) of 23 patients with AV block showed a transient progression in the degree of AV block, 5(29.4%) of 17 patients with first-or second-degree AV block progressed to third-degree AV block thereby constituting 45.5% of 11 third-degree AV blocks. Nine patients with early AV block less tended to progress in the degree of AV block than the patients with late AV block (1/9 vs 4.9). In early AV block the duration of high-degree AV block was shorter than late AV block(2.5 days vs 6.1 days). The duration of third-degree AV block was less than 2-hurs in 36.4~24 hours in 27.3%, and more than 24 hours in 36.4%. All third-degree AV blocks(90.9%) but one with the longest duration of 13 days returned to 1 : 1 AV conduction within 7 days. There was no significant difference in coronary angiographic findings including the incidence of stenotic lesion in proximal LAD and first septal perforator, number of involved vessel(s), and severity of RCA lesion between the patients with AV block and the patients without AV block in inferior MI.

Malakoplakia is a rare chronic granulomatous disease found in the genitourinary tract, mainly. It is considered to be related to immunosuppression and/or infectious processes. We would like to present an operative case of cecal malakoplakia in a patient with a history of surgical resection and chemotherapy for cervical cancer. A 74-year-old female patient visited our hospital for 1-year follow-up after operation and chemo-radiotherapy for cervical cancer. An infiltrative mass of 6 cm, between the cecal base and the right psoas muscle, was observed on computed tomography. An ileocectomy was performed for diagnosis. Histopathologic examination revealed cecal malakoplakia. After surgery, based on previous reports, antibiotics therapy was added. Then the patient was discharged and treated in the outpatient clinic. To our knowledge, a rare case has been described of cecal malakoplakia during observation after surgery and chemo-radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Malakoplakia is known to be related to immunosuppressive condition. Therefore, our case suggests that close observation should be made in patients on immunosuppressive condition, such as chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of an invasive strategy for elderly (aged≥75 years) patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). Methods Data on 366 of 409 elderly CS patients from a total of 6,132 acute STEMI cases enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 2008 and June 2011, were collected and analyzed. In-hospital deaths and the 1-month and 1-year survival rates free from major adverse cardiac events (MACE;defined as all cause death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization) were reported for the patients who had undergone invasive (n=310) and conservative (n=56) treatment strategies. Results The baseline clinical characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. There were fewer in-hospital deaths in the invasive treatment strategy group (23.5%vs. 46.4%, P<0.001). In addition, the 1-year MACE-free survival rate after invasive treatment was significantly lower compared with the conservative treatment (51%vs. 66%, P=0.001). Conclusions In elderly patients with acute STEMI complicated by CS, the outcomes of invasive strategy are similar to those in younger patients at the 1-year follow-up.
