The authors reviewed serial chest films of 113 patients of spontaneous pneumothorax which were treated byclosed tube thoracotomy during the period from May, 1979 till July, 1982 in CNUH. The resuls are as follows; 1.Male was more frequently affected than female, and the sex ratio was 3.5:1. 2. 71.1 per cent of patients were over31 years of age. 3. Of the 113 cases, 51.3 per cent were on the right, 48.7 per cent on the left. 4. The mostcommon underlying pulmonary disease was pulmonary tuberculosis(39.8), the next was belb or bullar (17.7%), and thelast was pneumonia(8.8%). 5. Pneumothorax was the most common type in pulmonary tuberculosis(66.7%), andpyopneumothorax in pneumonia(80.0%). 6. Among 103 cases in complete re-expansion of collapsed lung after closedthe thoracotomy, 39.5 per cent was expanded completely within 1 week in presence of visceral and/or parietalpleural thickening, and 86.2 per cent in none of it. According to the degree of pneumothorax, the more severedegree of pneumothorax, the more delay in re-expansion times. 7. Most common chest finding after re-expansion ofcollapsed lung was pleural thickening(51.4%).

The radiologic findings of lumbosacral spine and measurement of lumbosacral angle were analysed in 238 with backache and 102 without backache which were visited at Chungnam National University from March 1980 to July 1981.The measurement of lumbosacral angle was based on a method of Fergson. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The age group of 18 to 29 years was most common in backache group and the male was affected more frequently than the female with the ratio of 1.9 to 1. 2. In patients with backache, the overall mean lumbosacral angles were 44.2±2.6 degrees in male and 35.8±2.0 degrees in female. In patients without backache, in control group, the overall mean lumbosacral angles were 32.6±0.7 degrees in male and 33.4±1.4degrees in female. 3. In control group, difference of means between male and female was about 1degrees in patients with backache, the overall mean lumbosacral angles were increased about 12degrees in male and 2degrees in female than control group. In patients with and without backache, no significant difference of lumbosacral angle between the 4 age groups was present. 4. In backache group, increased lordosis was more common and increased lumbosacral angle than the decreased lordosis. 5. In backache group, lumbosacral angle of abnormal radiologic findings in lumbosacral spine was significantly increased than control group. 6. In patients with backache, radiologic findings and its lumboscral angles were alumbosacral anomaly 56 cases (23.5%): 46.9 degrees, increased lumbar lordosis 46 cases (19.2%): 48.1 degrees, osteoarthritis 44 cases(18.5%) : 40.8 degrees, decreased lumbar lordosis 30 cases (12.6%): 29.9 degrees, in order, And these radiologic findings were similar with many other authors.

We have observed the dark effect of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) on the viability and DNA synthesis in human lymphocyte cultures after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the absence of ultraviolet A radiation. The concentrations of 8-MOP was 0.5-3.2 microgram/ml. We have also measured the LDH activity in supernatants of lymphocyte cultures treated with 8-MOP. The results were as follows: 1. There was no 8-MOP dose-dependent decrease in the viability of lymphocytes up to 8MOP 32microgram/ml. 2. There was 8-MOP dose-dependent decrease in PHA-induced DNA synthesis of lymphocytes from the concentration of 8-MOP 2microgram/ml. 3. There was a time-dependent decrease in PHA-induced DNA synthesis of lymphocytes at the conscentration of 8-MOP 32microgram/ml. 4. There was no LDH release in supernatant of lymphocyte cultures after incubation with 8-MOP up to 8-MOP 32microgram/ml.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is one of the most useful diagnostic tool in biliary and pancreatic disease. However, ERCP cannot be performed successfully in all patients. Cannulation failure is the most common cause of failure of ERCP. Mechanical pathologies, such as peri-Vater diverticulum, cancer of the papilla of Vater, and impacted stone were the common causes of cannulation failure. We experienced two cases of carcinoma of the papilla of Vater in whom cholangiography and insertion of the nasobiliary tube were performed througth an artificial choledoehoduodenal fistula made by a needle type diathermy knife, beacuse cannulation to the duct was failed due to the tumor.

The intravenous pyelograms of 126 cases of ureteral stones were analized for study on changes in size,renocortical idex(RCI) and function of the affected kidney. The following results were obtained. 1. The size ofaffected kidney was increased in 45% of cases and decreased in 40% of cases. 2. The affected kidney showed anelevated RCI value as compared to the normal side. The mean value of RCI of the affected kidneys was 0.44 andnormal kidneys was 0.35. 3. The cases of upper ureteral stones most frequently showed urinary stasis. Theincidence of urinary stasis: hydronephrosis 61%, hydroureter 48%, nonvisualization 10%, and combinedhydronephrosis and hydroureter in 54% of the all cases.

PURPOSE: To investigate the usefulness of carbon dioxide digital subtraction angiography (CO2-DSA) in direct puncture sclerotherapy of venous hemangiomas involving extremities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Direct puncture sclerotherapy was performed in 12 patients with venous hemangioma of extremities. After direct puncture of the hemangiomas, 30-50 cc of CO2 was manually injected and digital subtraction angiograms were obtained. If draining vein was visualized, a tourniquet was applied at the proximal site to compress the draining veins. There after, radiopaque embolic materials such as 1:3 mixture of Lipiodol and absolute ethanol or ethanolamineoleate-Lipiodol-Avitene (microfibrillar collagen hemostat) mixture were slowly injected under the fluoroscopic guidance. RESULTS: Rapid injection of large amount of a CO2 enabled the visualization of wide areas of venous hemangiomas in 11 patients. Draining veins were reliably demonstrated in 10 patients and pulmonary embolism of embolic materials was effectively prevented by proximal tourniquet application. Because of radiolucent nature of CO2 retained in hemangiomas, we could clearly identify the distribution of radiopaque embolic materials under fluoroscopy. Retained CO2 also could be used as a guide for additional multiple puncture of hemangiomas. There was no systemic symptoms or complications related to CO2-DSA. CONCLUSION: CO2-DSA is a convenient, safe and useful angiographic technique in direct puncture sclerotherapy of hemangiomas involving extremities.

BACKGROUND: The electrocardiogram may provide valuable information regarding the identity of the culprit coronary artery and the location of obstructing lesion within the artery, which may be of guidance in selecting the therapeutic modality. Previous studies have concluded that changes in lateral leads (I, aVL, V5, V6) are predictive of left circumflex coronary artery obstruction in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction. Elect-rocardiographic criteria for determining the location of the obstructing lesion, however, have not been well established. The purpose of this study is to investigate the patterns of ST segment depression in lateral leads in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction and the obstruction site of culprit artery according to ST segment depression in lateral leads. METHODS: We examined 78 patients with inferior wall acute myocardial infarction analizing their electrocardiogram and coronary angiography which performed during acute hospitalization. RESULTS: Of the fifty-five patients in which the culprit artery could be determined, 1)in 41 the culprit artery was the right coronary artery (19 proximal to the right ventricular branch and 22 distal), and in 14 the left circumflex coronary artery (7 proximal to the first obtuse marginal branch or involving a high first obtuse marginal branch, and 7 with distal obstruction). 2)Significant ST depression (ST< or =1 mm) in leads I and aVL was more common in right coronary artery obstruction (p<0.05 and p=0.01 respectively) than left circumflex artery. 3)It was difficult to define the location of obstruction with ST segment change of lateral precordial leads (V5, V6). CONCLUSIONS: In acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, ST segment depression in lateral limb leads (I, aVL) can be indicative of the right coronary artery obstruction and the ST segment depression pattern in lateral precordial leads was not indicative of the site of obstruction.

The cystic duct syndrome is defined as noncalculous partial mechanical obstruction of the cystic duct with painful gallbladder contraction. In this condition, the gallbladder is able to fill by slow entry of bile from the common hepatic duct, however ejection of bile from the gallbladder is prohibited by partial obstruction of the cystic duct. The main symptom of the cystic duct syndrome is postprandial right upper abdominal pain which oecasionally radiates to back and right shaulder. This sayndrome can be diagnosed by CCK-biliary drainage, CCK-cholecystogram, CCK-cholescintigraphy and ERCP. Since the causes are mechanical, patients with the cyetic duct syndrome are best treated surgically by means of cholecystectomy. We had experienced 2 cases of cystic duct syndrome whose ERCP finding and 24hour delayed film disclosed typical findings. The cholecystectomy was performed and the gross specimen showed narrowed lumen or fibrosis of cystic duct, The symptoms were subsided after cholecystectomy.
