Endoscopic variceal band ligation requires the incertion of over tube. Since adopting EVL, we encountered pharyngeal trauma and complaints of severe pain during over tube insertion. So We compared the safety and efficacy of EVL according to the method of scope insertion, as over tube and free hand method. We studied 49 patients who require EVL due to grade 3 esophageal varices. The group l consist of 26 patients who undergone EVL without over tube and group 2 consist of 23 patients who undergone EVL with over tube. There were no differences in basal arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oxymeter, basal heart rate and EKG by EKG monitor, hemoglobin concentration, and Child class between 2 groups. The changes of arterial oxygen saturation and EKG were not different between 2 groups during EVL. And the symptom score and speed of single band ligation were similar in over tube and free hand method of EVL. The complication induced by scope insertion methods is minor pharyngeal trauma only in over tube group. We suggest that over tube method of EVL can be replaced by free hand method in patients who complain of severe pain during over tube insertion, and with anatomical abnormality of oropharynx and urgent cases in which require good vision.

By means of simultaneous recording of apexcardiogram and phonocardiogram, determination of intervals of hemodynamic events in cardiac cycles, along with per cent amplitude of rapid filling wave and A wave in the apexcardiogram were done in 50 healthy subjects, and their clinical significance was discussed.

A study was conducted on 2,210 officials in Jeonbug Province to check out their physical growth, development and nutritional state during the period June 1st 1975 to August 31, 1975. As the results of this study, the following conclusions were reached: 1. Physical measurement. a. Body height: The mean body height of male was 166.8+/-4.6 cm and that of female was 156.3+/-4.9 cm. The highest value of mean body height was 167.1+/-3.9cm, showing by male of administrative job. The lowest value of that was 165.7+/-5.2cm, showing by the male functional job, while the difference of body height was not significant in female. b. Body weight: The mean body weight of male was 61.5+/-4.6kg and that of female was 51.2+/-3.9kg. The administrative job heavier than functional job of male by type of job, while that of female of functional job heavier than functional job of male by type of job, while that of female of functional job heavier than administrative job. c. Chest-girth: The mean body chest-girth of male was 90.8+/-3.2cm and that of female was 83.6+/-3.6cm. 2. Physical growth and developmental state. a. The relative body weight was normal in male except the young man under 25 years, while that of female was under the level of standard. b. The relative chest-girth was showed standard values by all age group of officials. c. The Rogrer and Kaup indices were showed standard values except under 19 years officials and 30 to 34 years female officials. 3. Vervaeck index for nutritional status was appeared normal in male but under the values of standard in female.
