Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is now an accepted technique of myocardial revascularization in selective cases of coronary arterial occlusive disease. We experienced a case of CABG without ECC in a 20 year old female patient with complete occlusion of the right coronary artery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and isoflurane. Nitroglycerine and dopamine were given to stabilize the hemodynamics during intra- and post-operative periods. And esmolol was administered with a loading dose of 30 mg over 1 min, followed by a continuous infusion of 50~100 g/kg/min to maintain the heart rate (50~60 beats/min) and systolic blood pressure (60~80 mmHg) during distal anastomosis. The patient was recovered uneventfully and discharged on the 8th postoperative day.

BACKGROUND: It seems that herpes zoster is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus and its incidence is increasing. The reactivation of the varicella zoster virus is thought to be associated with the disturbance of the state of immunity in patients with herpes zoster. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the state of immunity in patients with herpes zoster in its acute phase(less than 7 days). METHODS: 1. Thirty patients with acute phase herpes zoster matched by age and sex against a control group, were checked for Helper/Inducer T cell(CD4), Suppressor/Cytotoxic T cell(CD8), NK cell, B cell and activated T cell by three color flow cytometric analysis. 2. Forty patients with herpes zoster measured delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity by means of Multitest' CMI. 3. Thirty patients with herpes zoster measured Ig G, M, A by means of N-antisera method.

BACKGROUND: Trimetazidine(Vastinan(R)) is a new antianginal agent of different action mechanism specifically targeted at the metabolic cellular consequences of myocardial ischemia. The clinical efficacy of the Trimetazidine in angina pectoris is still to be defined. METHOD: To determine the antianginal effect of trimetazidine in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, 15 patients with stable angina(12 male, 3 female, mean age : 59.3 years) were studied. In 6 cases as a single agent and in 9 cases as an additive regimen to conventional antianginal medications. Trimetazidine(20mg 3 times daily) was given for 30 days or more to evaluate the clinical effect. Graded exercise tests were carried out before the trial of Trimetazidine and on the 30th day of the treatment period. RESULTS: 1) The number of episodes of anginal attacks decreased from 4.2+/-2.7 to 2.0+/-0.5 a week(p<0.05) after treatment with Trimetazidine. 2) Trimetazidine also significantly increased the duration of total exercise from 12.1+/-4.7 min to 14.5+/-3.3 min(p<0.05), and the time to 1mm ST segment depression from 7.7+/-5.9 min to 11.7+/-5.2 min(p<0.05) on treadmill exercise by modified Bruce protocol. 3) Total workload (METs) and rate pressure double product(heart rate x systolic blood pressure) slightly increased, but the differences were not significant statistically. 4) No serious clinical side effects were observed during the treatment. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the Trimetazidine is an effective and safe as an antianginal drug in the treatment of stable angina patients as a single agent and as an additive regimen when the patients are refractory to conventional drugs.

BACKGROUND: Reciprocal ST-segment depression in precordial leads is a common finding in acute inferior myocardial infarction. The responsible mechanism and the significance of this finding, however, are still controversial. METHODS: Clinical characteristics, serial eletrocardiograms, angiographic findings of coronary artery and left ventricle were reviewed in 33 patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Reciprocal ST-segment depression was defined as ST-segment depression > or =1.0mm in two or more adjacent chest leads, I and aVL in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction showing ST-segment elevation in II, III, aVF. Coronary angiography and left ventriculography were performed 15,2+/-16.9 hours after arrival. RESULTS: Eleven patients did not have reciprocal ST-segment depression(group A) and 22 patients had reciprocal ST-segment depression(group B). There was no significant difference in the demographic data of the patients except age and peak CK-MB, which were significantly higher in group B than group A. Left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) stenosis was significantly more frequent in group B than group A(54.5% vs 18.2%, p<0.05). However the distribution of left ventricular regional wall motion abnormality and global ejection fraction showed no difference between two groups. In addition, there was no difference in in-hospital complications. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that reciprocal ST-segment depression in acute inferior myocardial infarction can be explained by anterior ischemia due to concomitant LAD stenosis in some cases, but its clinical significance is limited at least in terms of in-hospital complications.
