The complexily in development of the dural sinus may result in many variations. Studies are being done on the variation of the straight sinus for clinical application of neurological diagnosis and operation. However, no data is available on Koreans, which made this study necessary. The present study was made on 50 Korean adult cadavers (average age of 67). The results were as followlng. 1. A bulbous formation of the rostral aspects of the straight sinus was present in 22 cases(44%). 2. Complete double straight sinus was present in 3 cases(6%). 3. Partial septum was observed in 8 cases (16%) with varied position and length. 4. The straight sinus terminated into both transverse sinuses(52%), the left transverse sinus(24%), the confluence of sinuses (18%), and the right transverse sinus(6%). 5. Average length and width of the straight sinus were 48.5mm and 5.9mm, respectively. 6. Nineteen cases(38%) showed no tentorial sinus drainage into the straight sinus on both sides.

Spontaneous rupture of subcapsular liver hematoma in pregnancy is rare but potential life threatening complication of preeclampsia. We experienced a case of spontaneous rupture of subcapsular hematoma of liver that was treated with conservative method. So, we present the case with a brief review of literatures as first report in Korea.

This study was undertaken to observe the effects of centrally administred antihistamines on the blood pressure. Diphenhydramine(DPH), a H1-receptor antagonist, and ranitidine(RAN), a H2-receptor antagonist were administered intracerebroventricularly(icv) on urethane-anesthetized rabbits. 1) Both DPH and RAN administered intraccebroventricularly increased blood pressure, however the intravenous(iv) adminstration of them did not affect blood pressure. The pressor response to icv DPH was dose-dependent, but that to icv RAN was not. 2) The pressor response to icv DPH(1mg) was either markedly attenuated or reversed to depressor response by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(250,500ug), and iv chlorisondamine(0.1, 1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). In cord-sectioned rabbtis, icv RAN) 1mg) did not produce pressor response. 3) The pressor responsr to icv RAN(1mg) was not affected by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(500ug), iv chlorisondamin(1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg), and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). RAN also producted pressor response in cordsectioned rabbits. These results suggest that the pressor response to icv DPH is elecited by increasing peripheral sympathetic tone via the stimulation of central alpha-adrenoreceptors and the pressor response to icv RAN is produced by releasing some humoral facotr which can increase blood pressure.

8.The Role of Thermography in the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer.
Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 1998;54(5):631-639
Breast thermography produces a picture of the heat emitted from the surface of the breast. And abnormal temperature over the breast has been suggested as an indicator of malignancy. The mechanisms for the heat production at the area of the skin over the breast are suggested hypermetabolism, hypervascularization, and hyperfusion of the affected regions of the breast. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of breast thermography in breast cancer. One hundred thirty breast cancers and one hundred ten benign breast masses were examined by a digital infrared thermographic system (NEC San-ei, Therm Tracer 6T67) between January 1991 and December 1995. In this study, thermograms were classified as normal (Th-1), equivocal (Th-2), or abnormal (Th-3). Normal thermograms were those with normal symmetric vascularity, equivocal thermograms were those with only heat in the area of mass, and abnormal thermograms were those with heat and increased vascularity in the area of mass. Among the 110 benign breast masses, there were 98 Th-1 cases (89.1%), 2 Th-2 cases (1.8%) and 10 Th-3 cases (9.1%). Among the 130 breast cancers, there were 98 Th-3 cases (75.4%), 20 Th-2 cases (16.2%), and 12 Th-1 cases (9.2%). The sensitivity of the breast thermograms was 90%, the specificity 89.1%, and the diagnostic accuracy 89.6%. A thermal difference(deltaT) of less than 1oC was seen in 10 cases (7.7%) of breast cancer, and a deltaT of more than 1oC was seen in 120 cases (92.3%). Among the latter of a deltaT of more than 3oC was seen in 67 cases(51.4%). The correlation of the breast-cancer tumor size with deltaT was highly significant(p<0.0001). The classification of the thermographic diagnosis was found to be statistically correlated with tumor size (p<0.0001), axillary node status (p<0.001) and nuclear grade (p<0.05), but not with the presence or abscence of estrogen receptor. These results suggest that thermography is useful as a diagnostic tool for breast cancer. And that a deltaT of more than 2oC of on a breast thermogram strongly suqqests a malignancy.

The variations of the sigmoid sinus were studied in 50 Korean adults (average age 67). The classification of the shape and a measurement of the diameters of the sinus were done and the morpological. 1. The shape was classified into 4 types, and the round type was the most common in both sides. S shaped type was below 10% in both sides. 2. The breadth was regular in 54% of the right and in 70% of the left sinuses. According to the breadth change, the shape was classified into 4 shapes. 3. The average diameter was 8.6mm on the right side and 7.2mm on the left side. 4. Symmetry was present in 16% of all. 5. The right transverse sinus was absent in 1 case (2%) and the superior petrosal sinus did not open into the sigmoid sinus in 2 cases (4%). 6. Petrosqamous sinus was observed in 16%.

The variations of the occipital sinus were studied in 50 Korean adult cadavers. The morphology of the sinus was classified into 5 types accordingo to its number and the connection with the marginal sinus. These results were compared with the data of the occipital sinus of bones (Sir and Chung, 1907). And the opening of the occipital sinus in the confluens sinuum was observed. 1. A single small occipital sinus was found in 40%. Single occiital sinus with two large marginal sinuses was observed in 8%. The single sinus with a left marginal sinus (6%) and with a right marginal sinus(4%) were present. Double occipital sinuses were observed in 10% of the cadavers. No occipital sinus was discernible in 32%. 2. There were 39 openings of the occipital sinus including the double sinuses. The occipital sinuses communicated with the confluence sinuum in 35 cases (89.7%), with the straight sinus in 5.1% and with the right or left transverse sinus in 1 case, respectively. The openings in the confluens sinuum were found on the left side(51.3%), on the right side (10.3%) and in the center(28.2%). 3. The diameters of the occipital sinus were variable according to the connection with the sigmoid sinus. 4. The difference was found between the data of the morphological types of the occipital sinus that were studied in cadavers and in dry bones.
