1.The Echocardiographic Study on the 13 Patients with the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Korean Circulation Journal 1982;12(1):117-127
The echocardiographic study was performed to 13 cases with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and 105 normal persons between Nov. 1980 and Feb. 1982 in Heart center, Paik Hospital, In-Je Medical College, Busan, Korea. The left ventricular functions in the Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were compared with those in the normal. The results were followings: 1. There were 10 male and 3 female of 13 cases with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, whose ages were above 20 years old. 2. LVDeD 4.29+/-0.60cm, LVSeD 2.85+/-0.66cm, LVDeV 82.06+/-24.66ml and LVSeV 26.91+/-9.21ml in the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy were significantly changed with those in the normal. 3. E.F. 68.63+/-10.46% and F.S. 34.32+/-6.43% in the Hypertrophic Cardiomopathy were significantly increased with those in the normal. 4. VSTh 1.66+/-0.37cm, LVPWTh 1.04+/-0.29cm in the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy were significantly increased with those in the normal.

This investigation was undertaken to clarify the in vitro effect of the various stimulations, such as exercise (E), insulin (I) direct electrical stimulation (EST) and the combinations of the above, on the glucose incorporation intro glycogen molecules (glycogen synthesis) of the normal slow (soleus) and fast twitch (plantaris) muscles, and the different responses of slow and fast twitch muscles to persistent overloads causing compensatory muscle hypertrophy. In resting state, slow twitch muscle has greater capacity for glycogen synthesis than fast twitch muscle, and responses of different muscle to various stimuli were differ as follows: In slow twitch muscle, the glycogen synthesis was increased by insulin, and electrical stimulation but not increased by exercise; exercise increased insulin sensitivity and the effect of electrical stimulation. Whereas the glycogen synthesis in fast twitch muscle was increased only by the stimuli combined with E and EST, and E, I, and EST. As the result of removal of synergistic muscle, both muscles were hypertrophied, and the degree of hypertrophy in response to persistent overload was higher in fast twitch muscle (182%) than slow twitch muscle (151%). In hypertrophied muscles, glycogen synthesis of soleus in any groups was lower than that of the control, but similar in plantaris. In conclusions, there were marked heterogeneity in different muscle fiber in the effects of exercise and insulin addition and electrical stimulation on muscle glycogen synthesis, and fast twitch muscle may be adapted more easily to that kind of persistent overload than slow twitch muscle.

Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare tumor comprising 0.1 per cent of all malignancies worldwide. There is, however, an increased ineidence following renal transplantation, immunosupression and in the acquried immunodeficency syndrome(AIDS) Kaposi's sarcoma has been shown to involve every organ of the body except the brain. Gastrointesinal involvement is the most common extracutaneous site of involvement. Gaatrointesinal Kaposis sarcoma is preaent in approximately half of patients with cutaneous Kaposis sarcoma and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS). Although usually asymptomatic, gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma may cause pain, bleeding, diarrhea, obstruction, intussusception, perforation. malabsorption, and protein-losing enteropathy. Three distinct gastroscopic appearances of Kaposi's sarcoma have been described: maculopapular, polypoid, and umbilicated nodular lesions. We report a case of Kaposis sarcoma of the stomach.

The potential of malignant melanoma to metastasize to all parts of the body is well known. Metastatic melanoma of the stomach may present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominai pain, or gastrointestinal bleeding. When gastrointestinal symptoms occur in a patient with known melanoma, gastric metastases should be considered. Melanoma metastatic to the stomach develops multiple small ulcerating masses. These sharply delineated submucosal lesions have been described as having a "bull's eye" or "target" configuration. Barium X-ray study, endoscopy, cytology study, and biopsy may yield the diagnosis. The prognosis is poor. We report a case of metastatic melanoma of the stomach with the review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Even though there were developments in various treatment techniques for acute arterial occlusion this disease still has high rate of mortalities and limb amputations. We investigated the combined diseases symptoms location of occlusion type of treatment complication and prognosis in our patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study recruited 48 patients (42 men, 6 women, mean age 57.7 years) who received the operation from January 1995 toDecember 1998. We investigated the post-operation course via medical record review or telephone interview with patients or their family members. RESULT: The most common combined diseases were atherosclerosis in 30 patients. other diseases were 17 diabetes mellitus 16 hypertension and 12 atrial firillation. Pain and clod sensation were noticed in all patients paresthesia in 5 patients fibrillation. Pain and cold sensation were noticed in all patients paresthesia in 5 patients and lower extremity paralysis in 11 patients. In 29 patients the time interval from the onset of symptom to admission was over 72 hours and 15 patients were admitted within 24 hours. The distribution of arterial occlusion location was at 28 femoral arteries 14 popliteal arteries and 6 iliac arteries. All the patients were received embolectomy and 5 patients were received additional bypass grafting. Postoperative complications were 12 reocclusions. 6 compartment syndromes 6 skin necrosis and 2 acute renal failure. The mortality rate was 16.7% (8/48) and the amputation rate was 25%. CONCLUSION: This study revealed 25% reocclusion 25% limb amputation and 16.7% mortaliyt. To improve the prognosis of acute lower extrements arterial occlusion early diagnosis and understand the underlying diseases prompt treatment and operation additional operation including interventional radiologic examination and thorough postoperative care would be appreciated.

The effects of insulin and exercise on glucose uptake of skeletal muscle were investigated in soleus muscle isolated from low dose streptozotocin induced diabetic rat in vitro. Glucose uptake was assessed by measuring ³H-methylglucose uptake in vitro. Basal glucose uptake in diabetes was reduced by approximately one-third of the control value (5.6±0.73µMol/g/20min. in diabetes versus 8.4±0.77 in control, P<0.01). There was also a significant decrease (P<0.01) in glucose uptake of diabetes at physiologic insulin concentration (200 µIU/ml) by 40% (6.1±1.20 versus 10.0±0.81). Furthermore, maximal insulin (20000 µIU/ml)-stimulated glucose uptake was 36% lower in diabetes as compared with control (7.3±1.29 versus 11.4±1.29, P<0.01). In contrast, exercise (1.0 km/hr, treadmill running for 45 min.) effect on glucose uptake was so dramatic in diabetes that glucose uptake at basal state was 8.+1.09 and insulin stimulated-glucose uptake were 10.2±1.47 and 11.9±1.64, in 200 and 20000 µIU/ml added insulin, respectively. These results suggest that insulin insensitivity develops in skeletal muscle after 2 weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, but these insensitivity was recovered significantly by single session of running exercise.

Surface ECG findings in 29 patients with left isomerism were reviewed. Among the total 46 wave axis distributions, 25(54%) were abnormal axis, not originated from sinus node. Congenital atrioventricular block was found in 2 children. 6 patients showed the bradycardia and junctional escape rhythm intermittently or persistently. 4 of them, not related with heart surgery, were much older than 2 patients who showed these ECG findings after heart surgery. These ECG findings suggested the possibility of occurrence of sinus node or subsidiary pacemaker dysfunction in the patients with left isomerism, especially in the older patients. So we thought that electrophysiologic evaluation is necessary in some patients with left isomerism.

In the present study the effect of exercise on the conversion rate of ingested glucose to glycogen in the different types of hindlimb skeletal muscles in Sprague-Dawley male rats was studied. The amounts of synthetized glycogen from ingested glucose of fast-twitch white (WV), fast-twitch red (RV), mixed type of fast-twitch white and red (EDL), and slow-twitch (SOL) muscles were determined at 30 and 90 min. after ingestion of 25% glucose solution which contained 14C-glucose(2 ml(luCi)/100gm B.W.) in control and exercise loaded rats. The result was summarized as follows: The about 55% at 30 min. and 70% at 90 min. after glucose ingestion were absorbed from gastrointestinal tract. This result shows no effects of exercise on absorption rate from gastrointestinal tract. The amount of synthetized glycogen of SOL from ingested glucose at 30 and 90 min. after glucose ingestion were highest, whether WV were lowest in hindlimb skeletal muscles in control and exercise loaded rats. In the exercise loaded rats, the amounts of synthetized glycogen of SOL, RV, and EDL at 90 min. after glucose ingestion was much higher than control rats, but not different in WV between exercise-loaded and control rats. At 30 min. after glucose ingestion, only SOL of exercise loaded rats was higher than control rats. In the control rat, the synthesis of glycogen was almost completed during initial 30 minutes. On the other hand, in the exercise loaded rat, except WV was opposite result of control rats, i.e., amounts of synthetized glycogen were major during late period. The amount of synthetized glycogen of liver at 30 and 90 min. after glucose ingestion in exercise loaded rats was higher than control rats. The rate of glycogen synthesis in control and exercise loaded rats were higher between 30-90 minute than initial 30 minutes.
