To evaluate the usefullness of SPECT thallium-201 exercise myocardial perfusion scan in coronary artery disease, polar maps processing SPECT images were compared to the exercise treadmill test and the findings of coronary angiographies in 12 normal subjects and 27 patients with the coronary artery disease. The following results were obtained : 1) Sensitivity and specificity of thallium-201 exercise myocardial perfusion scan was 96% and 83%, higher than that of exercise treadmill test(81% abd 61%). 2) In the branches of coronry artery, the sensitivity, specificity and positive predicitive values were 82%, 88%, 90% in left anterior descending artery, 33%, 88%, 57% in left circumflex artery and 69%, 81%, 90% 64% in right coronary artery. 3) The good correlation was observed between the degree of perfusion defect in polar map of thallium-201 myocardial scan in stress and 'myocardial ischemic score' predicted in coronary angiography(p<0.001). Also the degree of reversible perfusion defect had significant correlation with the durtion of exercise. 4) The pulmonary to myocardial ratio of thallium-201 uptake in coronary artery disease group higher than that of angina group. And the perfusion defect with stress and double product at maximal exercise had strongest assocition with the pulmonary to myocardial ratio of thallium-201 uptake by stepwise multiple linear regression. In conclusion, SPECT thallium-201 exercise myocardial perfusion scan is superior to the exercise treadmill test in diagnosing the coronary artery disese and is useful for predicting the sites and degree of coronary arterial stenosis. Also the pulmonary to myocardial ratio of thallium-201 uptake is thought to be good new test index in evaluating the left ventricular function of patients with coronary artery disease.

PURPOSE: Wilms tumor is the most common malignant renal tumor in children. We investigated the epidemiology, clinical features and treatment outcome of the children with Wilms tumor in Korea during the recent 10 years. METHODS: Two hundred forty six patients were enrolled between January 1991 and December 2000 from 26 major hospitals in Korea. The data regarding the clinical features including sex, age, pathologic type, prognostic factor and treatment outcome of patients were analyzed retrospectively by review of patient's medical records. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed, The differences between groups were analyzed by log-rank test. RESULTS: There were 130 males and 116 females. The incidence between the age of 1~4 years was the highest with 66.2%. The annual incidence rate per 1, 000, 000 population varied from 1.9 to 2.1. The 10 years overall survival rate according to sex, clinical stage, pathologic type and relapse were as follows: 88.6% in male, 90.9% in female, 100% in stage I, 94.7% in stage II, 92.1% in stage III, 63.4% in stage IV, 85.7% in stage V, 95.3% in favorable histology, 64.1% in unfavorable histology, 94.8% in non-relapse, and 40.9% in relapse. The relapse rate was 12%. The 10 years overall survival rate of 246 patients were 89.1%. CONCLUSION: Our results could provide the most recent and important clinical information on Wilms tumor of children in Korea.
