GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in central nervous system and produce sedative, antianxiety and muscle relaxing effects via GABA(A) receptor or GABA(B) receptor. Recently it is known that GABA is widely distributed throughout peripheral organs and may play a physiological role in certain organ. The vas deferens is innervated by species-difference. These study, therefore, was performed to investigate the mode and the mechanism of action of GABA on the norepinephrine-, ATP- and electric stimulation-induced contraction of vas deferens of rat. Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The smooth muscle strips were isolated from the prostatic portion and were mounted in the isolated muscle bath. PSS in the bath was aerated with 95/5%-O₂/CO₂ at 33℃. Muscle tensions were measured by isometric tension transducer and were recorded by biological recording system. 1. GABA, muscimol, a GABA(A) agonist, and baclofen, a GABA(B) agonist inhibited the electric field stimulation (EFS, 0.2Hz, 1mSec, 80V, monophasic square wave)-induced contraction with a rank order of potency of GABA greater than baclofen greater than muscimol. 2. The inhibitory effect of GABA was antagonized by delta aminovaleric acid (DAVA), a GABA(B) antagonist, but not by bicuculline, a GABA(A) intagonist. 3. The inhibitory effect of baclofen was antagonized by DAVA, but the effect of muscimol was not antagonized by bicuculline. 4. Exogenous norepinephrine (NE) and ATP contracted muscle strip concentration dependently, but the effect of acetylcholine was negligible and GABA did not affect the NE-and ATP-induced contractions. 5. GABA, baclofen and muscimol did not affect basal tone, and GABA did not affect the NE-and ATP-induced contractions. 6. EFS-induced contraction was inclucling 2 distinctable components. The first phasic component was inhibited by beta gamma-methylene ATP (mATP), a desensitizing agent of APT receptor and the second tonic component was reduced by pretreatment of reserpine (3 mg/Kg, IP). 7. GABA inhibited the EFS-induced contraction of reserpinized strips, but not the mATP-treated strips. These results suggest that in the prostatic portion of the rat vas deferens, adrenergic and purinergic neurotransmissions are exist, and GABA inhibits the release of ATP via presynaptic GABA(B) receptor on the excitatory neurons.

Pagets disease is a chronic skeletal disease of middle and later life, beginning insidiously and characterized by progressive structural changes and typical deformities occuring in the long bones, pelvis, and cranium. The occurence of Pagets disease is extremely rare in Korea. We have experienced a case of Pagets disease of bone in 67 year-old female affecting mainly the ilium and skull, and we report the case with brief review of the literatures.

Forty-five modified arthroscopic transglenoid suture capsulorrhaphy were performed between January 1989 and May 1995 with minimum follow-up of one year among sixty-four recurrent anterior shoulder instability in Chungnam National University Hostital. The average age at operation were 25 year and average time interval from injury to surgery were 12 month. we classify the Bankart lesion into 4 type according to the extent of capsulolabral complex detatchment, associated glenoid rim fracture, type II SLAP lesion and absence of glenoid labrum. Type Ia have a separation of labrum and inferior glenohumeral ligament from the glenoid rim and scapular neck (classic Bankart lesion) and type IIa have a capsular separation and glenoid rim fracture. Type IIIa have above mentioned type Ia or type IIa with type II SLAP lesion and type IVa have capsular separation without identifiable labral structure. We also subdivided the each type into subgroup b according to coexistence of capsular laxity. We modify the capsular suture technique according to classification. Type Ia, and type IIa were treated with in situ Bankart repair. Type Ib and type IIb were treated with capsular advancement. Type IIIa and 1IIb were treated with Bankart repair and additional fixation of SLAP lesion. Type IVa and IVb were treated with purse string type suture (capsular shift superiorly) with multiple stitches. All patients had various shape of Bankart lesion, so author s proposed classification of the Bankart lesion can be applied to each type. Arthroscopic finding were as follows. Twelve shoulders (27%) have type Ia Bankart lesion and six patient (13%) have type lIa lesion. Type lIIa were observed in eight shoulders (18%) and four patient (9%) were type IVa. The capsular laxity (subgroup b) were found in 15 patient (33%). None of the 45 patients experienced intraoperative complications or infec tion. All patients had full, painless range of motion and had no recurrence except four patient. One is type IIIa Bankart lesion in which associated type II SLAP was not repaired and the other two patients had sport injury and one patient had severe retrauma on 2 years after operation. We conclude that Bankart lesion is the essential lesion of recurrent anterior shoulder instability and were founded in all cases of recurrent anterior shoulder instability, and modified athroscopic transglenoid suture capsulorrhaphy according to arthroscopic classification is safe and effective method with acceptable recurrence rate.
