The antiarrhythmic efficacy if low dose amiodarone treatment was studied in 30 cases of ventricular premature beats(VPBs). Amiodarone was administered 600mg daily in three divided doses for for initial 7-10 days as loadihg dosage,then 100-200mg once daily as maintenance. The results obtained were as follow : 1) The complete control of VPBs was achieved by amiodarone treatment in 90%, 27cases of 30 cases(all 11 cases with simple VPBs and 16 cases of the remainders with complex VPBs). 2) The QT interval and QTc were significantly prolonged, whereas heart rate was reduced significantly after amiodarone treatment. 3) In 27 cases of responder, the frequency of VPBs began to decrease overtly 2-3 days after amiodarone administration, then relatively stablized in 6 days, and complete cnotrol of VPBs was achieved in all cases about 10 days after treatment. 4) No significant side-reaction was observed except the decrease of serm T3 level after treatment.

During the period from 1988 to 1993, 86 cases of varicose vein in lower extremity were treated at Department of General surgery, Chonnam University Hospital. 36 outpatients were treated by compression sclerotherapy and 50 inpatients by surgery. The results were as follows ; 1) The prevalent age group were 4th and 5th decade. 2) The predisposing factors of varicose vein were profession requiring long time standing (48.8%), pregnancy (14%) and hereditary (4.7%), in order. 3) Varicose veins were located in the greater saphenous system (50%), the lesser saphenous system (46.5%) and both (3.5%). 4) The cardinal symptoms and signs were tortuosity of veins(100%), aching pain(29.1%), leg heaviness(14.0%), walking discomfort(8.1%) and leg edema(7.0%). 5) The used sclerosing agent was 5% ethanolamine oleate in compression sclerotherapy group and the operation method in surgery group was high ligation and vein stripping. 44.4% of patients treated initially by compression sclerotherapy and 80% of those treated surgically were given no further treatment. 6) The postoperative complications in surgery group were recurred or remained varicosity (5 cases), hematoma(2 cases), recurrent ulcer(1 case), wound dehiscence(1 case) and thrombophlebitis(1 case). 7) The complications in sclerotherapy group were recurred or remained varicosity(10 cases), induration and bluish discoloration(1 case).
