The multistage maximal exercise test was performed to 135 cases with various heart disease and 207 control group between jan. 1980 and Dec. 1980 in KoreaGeneral Hospital. The change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in various heart disease were compared with those in control group. The results were followings; 1. There were 130 male and 77 female of cases with control group, whose mean age were 50 years old. 2. General check up was the most common underlying disease of control group(67 patients) and the others were gastritis (28), neurosis (24), diabets mellitus (17), hepatitis (4) and peptic ulcer (4) frequency. 3. Change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in control group during GXT were 89~154, 119/80~157/88 mmHg and 0.6~2 mm. 4. There were 81 male and 51 female of cases with various heart disease group, whose mean age were 50 years old. 5. Atherosclerotic heart disease was the most common underlying disease of various heart disease group (49 patients) and the others were hypertension (34), hypertensive cardiovascular disease (22), labile hypertension (14), angina (7), arrythmia (6) and others (3) in frequency. 6. Change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in various heart disease group during GXT were 85~148, 140/93~178/102 mmHg and -0.7~1.3mm. ST segment in atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertension, hypertensive cardiovascular disease, valvular heart disease and myocardial infarction were significantly depressed(p<0.05) compared with ST segment in control group.

5.Clinical Observation on Complications of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate.
Korean Journal of Urology 1988;29(1):103-109
A clinical observation was made on 75 cases of TURP from March 1984 to August 1987 had been studied in the Department of Urology, Eul Ji General Hospital. The results were summarized as follows. 1. TURP was performed in 65 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 10 cases of the pro static cancer. Of the 75 cases, blood loss was calculated in 32 cases and change of serum electrolyte was in 42 cases. 2. Weight of resected tissue was 7.1+/-5.8 grams(Mean+/-S.D.). 3. Blood loss during TURP was 317+/-199.2ml. There was a correlation between the total loss and the weight of resected tissue, but the blood loss per gram of resected tissue decreased with the larger glands. 4. Serum sodium concentration was decreased in 24 of the 42 cases and increased in 10 cases and no change in 8 cases. And these change in serum sodium concentration showed no significant correlation with the weight of resected tissue, the amount of irrigating fluid and operation time. 5. Of the 75 patients who had performed TURP, 27(36%) experienced some types of non-fatal complication, the remaining 48(64%) recovered without event. 6. Hypotension during TURP was the most common complication(13.3%). It seemed to be temporary phenomenon due to sympatholytic effect in spinal anesthesia. 7. There was no fatal case in this series.

Atherosclerotic heart disease is a major source of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in adult populations. To assess the prevalence of anatomical and functional abnormalities of the heart in such patients, we studied total 50 subjects with atherosclerotic heart disease by echocardiography and compared with 27 control subjects. We found significant change(p<0.05) of aortic root dimension, left ventricular mass, mitral valve E-F slope, E-point septal separation, and functional measurements show significant change in ejection fraction and fractional shortening of left ventricle. Characteristically, abnormal septal movement reveals in 70% of patients including paradoxical, flat & diminished, hyperactive motion, and among them paradoxical movement is the most frequent. Also left ventricular posterior wall movement is abnormal in 30% of the patient group. The prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities is 80 percentile of total, which include 30 percentile subjects with only echocardiographic abnormalities without abnormality in 12-lead ECG, chest X-ray and laboratory findings. And these abnormalities can be detected well by echocardiography before they were otherwise apparent.

We report two cases of malignant schwannoma of skin in association with non-familial neurofibromatosis. Case 1, a 47 year old man, had a large subcutaneous tumor on the sacral area and case 2, a 62 year old woman, a painful, ulcerating tumor on the posterior aspect of the left arm. Both cases were histopathologically confirmed as malignant schwannomas and immunohistochemical studies showed 5-100 protein in the tumor cells. After surgical excision of the tumors, case 1 was lost to follow up, while case 2 remained without evidence of disease for more than one and half years.

We managed 118 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia by transurethral resection during January 1994 and December 1995 in Eul Ji Medical Center and all patients were operated upon by 2 staff doctors. Among 118 cases, 7 cases with intraoperative complications such as bladder injury or severe prostatic capsule injury and 8 cases with combined neuropathic bladder or chronic urinary retention and 2 cases with urethral stricture were excluded. The average age of 101 cases were 66.4 years old (50-92), and average weight of resected adenoma was 10.0 gm (2-32). We categorized these patients randomly into 2 groups. In group I (n=48), we removed the urethral catheter within 2 days after TURP and in group II (n=53), we removed it after 3 days (mean 4.2 days) following surgery. The average hospital stay postoperatively was4.1 days in group I and 7.4 days in group II. Recatheterization rate was 8.3% (4/48) in group I and 5.6% (3/53) in group II (p>0.05). There was no statistical difference in other complication including failure to void, intraoperative bleeding, urethral stricture, incontinence and TUR syndrome. This study supports early catheter removal after TURP would become an accepted and routine postsurgical practice following uncomplicated TURP.

9.Recent Results of Quantitative Culture and Sensitivity Test of Urine.
Korean Journal of Urology 1981;22(6):558-563
This paper is presented to report the results of urinary quantitative culture and drug sensitivity tests for isolated micro-organisms in this study. Studies were done on 172 cases from the department of Urology, Eul Ji General Hospital during the period from Jan. 1979 up to Dec. 1980. 1. Quantitative urine culture in 172 cases were performed and of these, 89 cases grew micro-organism wile the remaining 83 cases showed no growth. Among the 89 cases, 67 cases (75. 2%) revealed significant bacteriuria with colony count over 10 5/ml in urine while 22 cases (24. 8%) were below 10 5/ml. Radio of Male: Female is 29 : 38 2. 55 cases (82. 1%) among the 67 cases with significant bacteriuria could the bacteria be identified on a smear and Gram stain. 54 cases (80.6%) of the 67 significant bacteriuria casts revealed pyuria of more than 5/HPF while 13 cases (19.4%) were below 5/HPF 3. 60 cases (89. 6%) of the 67 cases significant bacteriuria has Gram (-) bacilli while 7 cases(10.4 %) were Gram (+) cocci by direct smear. The frequency of isolated organism were as following E. coli ....33 cases (49. 3%). Pseudomonas ....11 cases (16. 4%) Enterobactor ....6 cases(9.0%) Proteus and stapbylo. Aureus .....4 cases (5.8%) respectively. 4. On the whole, all isolated micro-organisms showed considerable susceptibility to panimycin (82. 7%) and then frequency of susceptible drug were and then the frequency of susceptible drug were Cefamezine, Kedacillin, Gentamicin.

10.A Clinical Observation on Urogenital Complications in Diabetes Mellitus.
Korean Journal of Urology 1983;24(5):774-778
A clinical observation was made on 412 cases of diabetes mellitus who were admitted to Eul Ji General Hospital, Seoul, Korea, during the period from January 1980 to June 1983 with regard to urogenital compilations. The results were as follows: 1. The incidence rate of urogenital complications among 412 cases of D.M. was found in 21.1% (87 cases). 2. Concerning the frequency of genitourinary complications (87 cases) in each disease, urinary infection was found in 70 cases (80.5%), nephrotic syndrome in 7cases (8%), Kimmelstiel-Wilson syndrome in 5 cases (5.8%), neurogenic bladder in 3 cases (3.4%). 3. The most .frequent age distribution of urogenital complications of D.M. showed more than 50 years of age with 75% (65 cases). 4. The longer the duration of the diabetes was, the higher the incidence rate of urogenital complications. 5. Complications of D.M. except genitourinary tract were hypertension; 18.5%, pulmonary T.B.; 11.9%, retinopathy 10.4%, respiratory infection; 6.1%, neuropathy; 5.8%.
