Differences in systolic time intervals(STI's) attributable to the types of mechanocardiographs used for their determinations were studied in a total of 341 healthy adult males. The STI's were measured from mechanocardiograms consisting of simultaneously rocorded electrocardiograms, phonocardiograms and carotid arterial pulse tracings obtained by each of three different types of mechanocardiographs in 125, 56 and 160 subjects, respectively. The study revealed that there were slight to considerabe differences among the three groups in the correlation coefficients between the individual STI's and heart rate. Thus, regression equations using heart rate as variables, for those STI's which were significantly correlated with heart rate, differed slightly to considerably among these groups. In addition, the mean values of those STI's and their derivatives, which showed no significant correlation with heart rate, were also silghtly or significantly different among the three groups. These findings suggest that if STI's obtained from patients are to be adequately evaluated at all, each laboratory must define its own normal standards worked out by using its own methods of recording and analysis of the mechanocardiogram, and cannot rely on those proposed by others.

There are many procedures described for the treatment of acromioclavicular seperation but there are still controversies concerning the best management of these injuries. Thirteen cases were operated on by technique of modified Phemister method and four cases by Bosworth method, Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital from January 1980 to December 1984. The following results were obtained. The following results were obtained. 1. This injuries is more prevalent in male (76.4%) with peak incidence in the second, third and fourth decades(76.4%). 2. The most common causes of the injuries were traffic accidents and followed by falling from the height. 3. Fifteen patients were grade 3 by Allmans classification. 4. Operative method consists of modified Phemister method (76.4%) and Bosworth method (23.6%). 5. The operative procedures in Type 2 and Type 3 are good treatment of acromioclavicular seperation.

The buttercup is an inportant irritant plant which contairs an unsaturated lactone, protoanemonin, formed by the breakdown of a glucoside in injured plants. We report the three cases of irritant contact dermatitis due to buttercup(Ranunculus sceleratus). These patient developed erythematous and edematous patches with tense vesicles or bullae on t,he application site of pounded buttercup for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, arthralgia, and neuralgia, respectively.

Paraquat(Gramoxone) is the most commonly used herbicide in Korea. But serious paraquat poisoning in human beings has occurred following ingestion or exposure to the skin. Exposure to paraquat through the skin has resulted in local irritation or inflammation of varyiig degree, sometimes severe. We report three cases of primary irritant dermatitis due to paraquat. Two patients developed generalized vesicobullae and necrotirulcer in the scrotum, respectively. The other patient developed painful whitish patch and erosion in ttie tongue after accidental exposure.
