Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is now an accepted technique of myocardial revascularization in selective cases of coronary arterial occlusive disease. We experienced a case of CABG without ECC in a 20 year old female patient with complete occlusion of the right coronary artery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl, midazolam and isoflurane. Nitroglycerine and dopamine were given to stabilize the hemodynamics during intra- and post-operative periods. And esmolol was administered with a loading dose of 30 mg over 1 min, followed by a continuous infusion of 50~100 g/kg/min to maintain the heart rate (50~60 beats/min) and systolic blood pressure (60~80 mmHg) during distal anastomosis. The patient was recovered uneventfully and discharged on the 8th postoperative day.

BACKGROUND: Serious pulmonary complications after lung surgery increase morbidity and mortality in perioperative period. Ketamine hydrochloride produces strong analgesic effect in spite of the psychomimetic effects. Intravenous anesthesia with ketamine was performed in lung surgery of patients with decreased pulmonary function and compared with inhalation anesthesia with enflurane. METHODS: Sixty patients, scheduled for elective lung surgery, were randomly assigned to two groups. Patients received either enflurane (Group 1, n=30) or ketamine (Group 2, n=30) as main anesthetic drug. Blood pressure and heart rate were compared in preinduction, postinduction, postintubation, postincision, intraoperative period (30 minutes, 60 minutes) and recovery room between groups, and in each group. Arterial blood gas analysis was compared in preoperative period, intraoperative period and recovery room between groups. Postoperative psychological complications evaluated in group 2. RESULTS: Blood pressure and heart rate were significantly different in postinduction, postintubation and recovery room between groups. PaO2 in group 2 was higher than in group 1 during intraoperative period and recovery room. Postoperative psychological complications occured in 4 patients (13%) in group 2. CONCLUSIONS: Ketamine affords advantage over enflurane anesthesia in terms of PaO2 during intraoperative period and recovery room in lung surgery of patients with decreased pulmonary function.

The medial collateral ligament is the most commonly injured ligamentous structure of the knee. The management of the medial collateral ligament injuries were divided into surgical and conservative treatment. More recently, many investigators reported that isolated medial collateral ligament injuries did well under non-operative treatment. So, arthroscopic examination of the knee to rule out other intraarticular pathologic conditions such as cruciate ligament injuries, meniscal tear and osteochondral lesion is essential. From October 1993 to April 1995, we treated 45 cases of Grade III medial collateral ligament injuries and arthroscopic finding for cruciate ligament, meniscus, bony structure were analized in these cases. The result were as follows; 1. Anterior cruciate ligament injury:37.5% in +1 degree, 42.8% in +2 degree, 86.7% in +3 degree 2. Posterior cruciate ligament injury:12.5% in +1 degree, 13.4% in +2 degree, 33.3% in +3 degree 3. Meniscal injury:12.5% in +1 degree, 21.3% in +2 degree, 33.4% in +3 degree 4. Medial capsular ligament injury was more frequent and severe in the meniscofemoral ligament than in the meniscotibial ligament, but that finding was not correlated with degree of medial instability.

PURPOSE: To analyze serum markers in proximal femur fracture patients, which are known to be accompanied with osteophorosis or metabolic diseases, and consider it as predictive factor and to study how it affects on the fracture form. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vit. D3 known as serum marker of Vit. D, 25(OH)D, and 1,25(OH)2D of 152 patients from April, 2013 to March, 2014 who visited our hospital and diagnosed as proximal femur fracture(Femur neck fracture 73, Intertrochanteric fracture 79) were analyzed. Also, serum calcium level corrected by serum protein, phosphate, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, estradiol, IGF-1, and PTH were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: Femur neck fracture group showed significantly low value of D3, 25(OH)D, and 1,25(OH)2D (P-value<0.05) as the values were 37.72+/-7.21 pg/mL, 27.05+/-8.43 ng/mL, 25.05+/-6.78 pg/mL in femur neck fracture group, and 40.36+/-6.97 pg/mL, 29.54+/-9.12 ng/mL, 28.87+/-7.43 pg/mL in intertrochanteric fracture group respectively. The number of patients who were diagnosed as hypovitaminosis D. due to serum 25(OH)D value lower than 30ng/ml were significantly high in femur neck fracture group as the numbers were 56 in femur neck fracture, and 44 in intertrochanteric fracture. Serum calcium level corrected by serum protein, phosphate, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, estradiol, IGF-1 and PTH level showed no significant difference between two groups. CONCLUSION: Serum 25(OH)D level was decreased in proximal femur fracture patiens, and was lower as the patient was older and BMD was lower. Therefore it is thought that proximal femur fracture is affected by vitamin D metabolism.
