OBJECTIVE: To report the pregnancy which was made by in vitro fertilization using recombinant follicle stimulating hormone and gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: Six oocytes were retrieved and all were fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Six embryos were transferred and the pregnancy was confirmed. CONCLUSION: It is envisaged that the availability of recombinant gonadotropins and gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonists will ultimately lead to shorter, cheaper and safer treatments, using reduced dosages.

The ulcerative colitis is a relatively common disease in the European and North American countries aince Dr. Wilks has first reported the cases in 1895, But in Korea, this disease is a rare entity and only a few case have been reported. However, rescently the diagnoetic methods for ulcerative colitis are much developed we have experienced 28 cases of ulcerative colitis which were diagnosed by endoscopy, barium enema exam and biopsy. Therefore a total of 28 patient with ulcerative colitis diagnosed and treated at the department of internal medicine of HYUH from June 1979 to June 1986 was reviewed. We obtained the results as follows; 1) The sex distribution assumed a ratio of 1 to 1.33 with 12 males and 16 females. 2) The age dietribution was relatively even but the majority of cases were between 5th and 6th decade (32.1%), 3) The most prominent clinical symptoms were rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, wight loss and vomiting. 4) Significant laboratory findins were anemia, eleveited ESR, leukocytosis, positive stool OB, electrolyte imbalance and decreased serum albumin level. 5) As to the extent of disease determined by the barium enema examination and endoscopic exam., rectum or rectosigmoid colon is involved in majority of the cases (92.8%). 6) The endoscopic examination was performed in all 28 cases and showed significant findings such as ulceration, hyperemia, mucosal friability, bleeding etcs. 7) The barium enema examination was performed in 19 cases and showed positive findings such as ulceration, luminal narrowing, bowel shortening and rigidity in 17 cases. 8) 21 of 28 patients treated by medical therapy showed relatively improved but 4 of 28 patients was exacerbated or relapsed and one has expired.

BACKGROUND: To describe the fast experience of case-leased advanced cardiac life support(ACLC) course in Korea. METHODS: We have given case-based ACLC course to 13 nurses(6 emergency nurses, 4 coronary care unit muses, 3 professors) and 17 physicians(4 emergency physicians, 12 emergency residents, 1 intem). We performed the case-based ACLS course according to 1992 American Heart Association guidelines and recommendations for advanced cardiac life support by american ACLS instructors(1 pulmonologist, 4 critical care nurses). We performed final theoretical written test and 2 times written survey (immediate and 100th day after the course) about the course. RESULTS: On final written test, all practitioners answered at leasts 70% of the questions correctly. There was no significant difference between nurses and physicians(86.2+/-3.6 of physicians and 82.5+/-6.8 of nurses, p=0.06). 90%of participants considered that case-based advanced cardiac life support was acceptable. 100th day after the course, 93%of participants answered that ACLS course have been helpful on his/her job and also want retraining of ACLS course. 70%of participants considered that ideal ACLS training committee in Korea is the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine. CONCLUSION: Case-based ACLS course is a useful educational method far physicians and nurses in Korea. In the future, we should organize Korean resuscitation committee and then make guidelines for ACLS, and then continuously educate physicians and nurses.

BACKGROUND: The improved technique for cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) has resulted in the survival of many patient who experienced cardiac arrest. However, mortality in resuscitated patients is high, and the survival rate without brain damage is very low. Various neurological examination models, neuro-imaging techniques, electrophysiological procedures, and biochemical tests have been studied with respect to the detection of cerebral damage and outcome, but an early, reliable prediction of individual outcomes is still uncertain. METHODS: We studied twenty patient who had been in a coma for more than 24 hours after CPR, Somatosensory evoked potentials(SEP) were measured within the first three days after CPR. RESULTS: Of the twenty patients, seven patients(35%) had a good outcome, and thirteen patients(65%) had a bad outcome. Of the eleven patients with loss of the cortical evoked potential's N20 peak, all had a bad outcome. CONCLUSION: SEPs are of great benefit in prognostic evaluation after CPR.
