The pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP) was reported to be higher in essential hypertensives than in normotensives, but the underlying mechanisms for the higher PAP were not known exactly. In order to observe the changes of pulmonary hemodynamics and to get an insight into the mechanism of the pulmonary hypertension, if any, in essential hypertensive patients, the autors performed the cardiac catheterization in 13 normal controls(group A), 14 coronary patients with normal systolic left ventricular function and systemic blood pressure(group B), and 15 essential hypertensives with normal coronary artery and systolic left ventricular function(group C). 1)Pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP) was 19.2+/-3.2/8.1+/-1.9/12.0+/-1.9(s/d/m)mmHg in group A, 25.0+/-6.2/12.8+/-4.0/16.3+/-4.5mmHg in group B, 29.3+/-6.1/12.8+/-4.0/18.2+/-3.6mmHg in group C. The PAP was higher in group B and C than that of group A(p<0.005). 2) Pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR) was 88.2+/-34.9 dyne.sec.cm(-5) in group A. 137.8+/-74.5 dyne.sec.cm(-5) in group B and 173.9+/-77.5 dyne.sec.cm(-5) in group C. In group B and C, PVR was increased compared to that of group A(p<0.05, p<0.005, respectively). 3) Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure(PCWP) was 6.6+/-2.8 mmHg in groupa A. 9.9+/-2.9mmHg, and 9.6+/-3.6 mmHg in group C. PCWP in group B and C were higher than that of group A(p<0.005). 4) Systemic vascular resistance(SVR) was 1298+/-340 dyne.sec.cm(-5) in group A, 1466+/-362 dyne .sec.cm(-5) i group B and 2255+/-439 dyne.sec.cm(-5) in group C. In group C, SVR was increased compared to that of group A and B(p<0.002). 5) Significant correlation was demonstrated between PVR and PCWP in group A(r=-0.74, p<0.05). 6) In group B, significant correlations were shown between PAP and PCWp(r=0.55, p<0.05), between PAP and PVR(r=0.69, p<0.05). 7) In group C, significant correlations were demonstrated between PAP and PCWP(r=0.55, p<0.05), between PVR and SVR(r=<0.51, p<0.01). Above results revealed that PAP and PVR were increased in essential hypertensives without left ventricular failure and this elevated PAPseemed to be affected in part by increased PCWP, and increased PVR in accordance with increased SVR.

Congenital dislocation of the hip has been known as one of the most common congenital anomalies in the orthopedic field since the time of Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.). The occurence of C.D.H. in twin babies is extremely rare thus few if any papers have been reported. During the period of January 1971 through June 1976 the authors have treated a total of 49 cases as inpatients. Two of these were twin babies. In both cases the hip was surgically reduced and followed by open reduction and femoral derotation osteotomy. Clinically and radiologically the results were good during the duration of follow-up seven months after operations.

A case of the brain death confirmed by isotope angiogrphy is described. Isotope angiography is a simple and noninvasive technic compared to carotid angiography, and is recommended as a reliable test for the diagnosis of brain death.

9.Endothelial Cell Loss in Penetrating Keratoplasty.

Corneal clarity following PPKP (Partial penetrating keratoplasty) depends on the maintenance of healthy population of endothelial cells in the transplanted cornea. If total cell loss is too great, irreversible corneal edema may result, although the critical cell density below which edema occurs is not well known. Quantitative specular endothelial microscopy was performed on 32 donor corneas before operation and at 3 months and 12 months following PPKP. The central endothelial density of these corneas had decreased by 18.41% at three months after operation and by 42.32% at the end of one year.
