Advances in multimodal treatment using radiation and chemotherapy, more sophicated diagnostic, radiologic methods, and newer reconstructive surgical techniques have led to aggressive surgical treatment of chondrosarcoma of the pelvis. Recently, good results have been reported in even high grade chondrosarcoma of the pelvis with surgery with/without adjuvant therapy. From January 1984 to June 1992, ten patients with chondrosarcoma of the pelvis were treated. Their average age was 40(18 to 55). Location of the lesion were ilium(5), periacetabular lesion(1), ischiopubic region(1) and sacrum(3). Nine cases were conventional type and one was dedifferentiated type. Surgical resection was done for nine patients, with which radical margin in one, wide margin in four, marginal margin in one and intralesional margin in three. Postoperative radiotherapy(6000-7000cGy during 6-7week) was done for five patients of having wide(1), marginal(1) or intralesional(3) surgical margin. One patient took radiotherapy only after biopsy. The average follow-up period was 2 years and 9 months(1 year to 6 years 1 month). Six patients wer continuously disease free(CDF) or disease free(DF). One patient is alive with disease(AWD). Three patients died of disease(DOD). With Kaplan-Meier's method, 5-year actuarial survival rate for total 10 cases was 60%, for operated group(9 cases) 66.7% and for operated conventional group(8 cases) 80%. With wider resection margin, better survival could be achieved.

BACKGROUND: Brief episode of coronary artery occlusion (i.e., ischemic preconditioning) makes the heart more resistant to injury from a subsequent ischemic insult. Although a great deal of effort has been made in studying ischemic preconditioning, the underlying mechanism of ischemic preconditioning and its effect on hypothermic insult has not been elucidated. This study was performed to see whether ischemic preconditioning protects against the depression of cardiac contractility induced by hypothermic cardioplegic arrest/reperfusion. And recently, adenosine was known to have some correlation with the mechanism of preconditioning. If so, does this effect remain after the blockade of adenosine receptor by 8-phenyl theophylline? METHOD: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rat weighed 250-350g were used and divided into three groups. Rat hearts were removed rapidly, and each isolated heart paced with a rate of 180/min was perused by modified Krebs-Hensleit buffer(KHB) solution on a Langendorff apparatus far an hour. After obtaining baseline data including left ventricular pressure(LVP), dp/dt, and coronary flow, cardiac arrest was induced by perfusion of 0degrees C crystalloid cardioplegic(St Thomas) solution. After that, all hearts were stored in the same St Thomas solution at salute temperature far 2 hours. In group I (control group), the hear was reperfused by KHB solution. In group II(preconditioning group), the heart was subjected to two 2-minute episode of global ischemia followed by 5 minute reperfusion with KHB solution(preconditioning) before cardiac arrest. In group III(phenyl theophylline group), the heart was subjected to preconditioning procedure and 8-phenyl theophylline at 10muM in concentration was added to KHB solution at time of reperfusion. Observing parameter was obtained in each group at 10, 20, 40 and 60 minutes after starting reperfusion and compared statistically by use of one way ANOVA test(STASTICA, release 4.5). P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Although depressed LVP, dp/dt, and Coronary flow were seen in all groups during the reperfusion period, the preconditioned group showed more effective recovery of LVP than that of the control group, especially at 10, 20 and 40 minutes(p<.05). We failed to demonstrate the difference between the phenyl theophylline group and the control group(p=NS). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that ischemic preconditioning has protective effect on recovery state of hypothermic cardioplegic arrest/reperfusion. Its protective effect was limited during early reperfusion stage and was blocked by adenosine blocker.

PURPOSE: The main factor limiting endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is the shape of the a-neurysmal sac, especially the width of the neck. We describe an early experience and technical aspects of treating wide-necked cerebral aneurysm using a Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) and simultaneous application of a temporary balloon. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four cases of unruptured wide-necked cerebral aneurysm were treated with GDC, with simultaneous application of a temporary balloon. Patients were aged between 29 and 49 years. On admission, clinical presentation was subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in all cases. Hunt and Hess grade was II in two cases, III in one case, and traumatic SAH in one case. In all patients angiography revealed an asymptomatic a-neurysm after rupture of another aneurysm or traumatic SAH. The aneurysms were occluded with GDC-10, and a Cirrus balloon occlusion system was used simultaneously. All procedures were performed under endo-tracheal general anesthesia and systemic heparinization. RESULTS: All cases were treated successfully, without parent artery compromise. The occlusion rate at the end of the procedure was total in three cases and subtotal in one. In one case a heparin-related hematoma occurred during post-procedural treatment and the patient eventually expired. One patient underwent follow-up angiography after 6 months, and the coil was not changed. CONCLUSION: An aneurysm may not be completely occluded, but with regard to coil compaction and parent artery preservation, the technique is an attractive alternative.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The objective of this research was to study the change of lung volume after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Eight OSA patients were participated in this study. These patients were treated with UPPP at Seoul adventist hospital. Vital capacity (VC), inspiratory capacity (IC), expiratory residual volume (ERV) and FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEV25-75% were determined by standard spirometry at the preoperative, at 3 postoperative days and 1 postoperative month. RESULTS: Vital capacity (VC) was significantly larger at 3 post-operative days (3.58+/-0.87 L, mean+/-SD) than those at pre-operative (3.12+/-0.69 L, mean+/-SD) in the patient with OSA (p=0.047). FEV 1 (L) was larger at 3 post-operative days (2.91+/-0.76 L, mean+/-vSD) than those at pre-operative (2.68+/-0.85 L, mean+/-vSD), but was not significantly correlated statically (p=0.249). CONCLUSION: We found significant correlation between preopeative and postoperative VC, IC.

The authors devdeloped a computer program for automatic coding of ACR (American College of Radiology) code. The automatic coding of the ACR code is essential for computerization of the data in the department of radiology. This program was written in FoxBASE language and has been used for automatic coding of diagnosis in the Deparment of Radiology, Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital since May 1992. The ACR dictionary files consisted of 11 files, one for the organ code and the others for the pathology code. The organ code was obtained by typing organ name or code number itself among the upper and lower level codes of the selected one that were simultaneously displayed on the screen. According to the first number of the selected organ code. the corresponding pathology code file was chosen augomatically. By the similar fashion of organ code selection, the proper pathologic dode was obtained. An example of obtained ACR code is "131.3661". This procedure was reproducible regardless of the number of fields of data. Bacause this program was written in "User's Defined Function" from, decoding of the stored ACR code was achieved by this same program and incoporation of this program into another data processing program was possible. This program had merits of simple operation, accurate and detail coding, and easy adjustment for another program. Therefore, this program can be used for automation of routine work in the department of radiology.

In the management of carotid cavernous fistula, detachable balloon has become the treatment of choice.However, technical difficulties are not uncommon, and transarterial balloon embolization fail in 5% to 10% ofcases. Failure occurs because in some patients, the fistula orifice may be too small to allow entry. Using atracker catheter system with Guglielmi detachable coils, we achieved successful transarterial occlusion of acarotid cavernous fistula with a small fistula.
