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.

Leiomyoma is one of the rarest solid tumor of the ovary. Approximately 50 cases have been published to date. However, most reported leiomyoma of the ovaries were small and rarely induced serious symptoms. We report a case of ovarian leiomyoma in 57-year-old woman which has been experienced in our haspital with brief review of literature.

BACKGROUND: Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for esophageal cancer. Despite recent advances in surgical therapy, i.e. en bloc resection and extended lymphadenectomy, the overall long-term prognosis of patients with esophageal carcinoma has not, however, improved during the last decades. One of the major reasons in its relatively high recurrence rate. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective review of recurrent patterns of cancer in 42 patients who underwent curative surgery for primary esophageal cancer was performed clinically and histo-phthologically. RESULT: Nineteen patients had developed recurrece during the 18 to 52 months(mean 34.2 nonths), 8 had local recurrences, 1 had both, and 11 had systemic recurrences. Twelve patients(63%) had developed recurrence within 1 year, 5 patients(26%) between 1 year to 2 patients(11%) after 2 years. The recurrence rate according to growth pattern of tumor or presence of microinvasive findings was not statistically significant, but it increased significantly in clinical tumor stage III than stage IIA, B and in patients with the number of metastatic lymph node over ten. CONCLUSION: Post-operative recurrences of esophageal cancer appear as a high rate even though curative wide resection was done. Several clinical and histo-pathological factors correlate with the recurrence.
