The clinical effect of etafenone on 12 cases of angina pectoris(9 males and 3 females with average age of 58.3 years) were studied and following results were obtained: 1. Anginal chest pains were improved after average 9 days (3~15 days) of medication and the dreug was very effective in 41.7%, moderately effective in 33.3% and slightly effective in 25.0% of cases. 2. The ST segment depression of E.C.G. were reduced in 50.0%, improvement of T waves inversion or enlargement of T waves were observed in 66.7% and E.C.G. improvement either ST segment or T wave observed in 75.0% of cases. 3. No side reactions such as hypotension, palpitation, dizziness, headache or gastrointestinal disturbances were seen during the treatement with etafenone.

A clinical observation was made on 35 patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Sugery, Busan National University Hospital, 29 of whom had undergone operation from January 1979 to December 1983. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The peak incidence of age ranged from 51 to 60 years, which comprised 16 cases (45.7%) 2. The type of theDisease'were 15 cases with degenerative spinal stenosis, which comprised highest incidence, 11 cases with combined spinal stenosis, 6 cases with spondylolisthesis, 2 cases with idiopathic spinal stenosis and 1 case with iatrogenic spinal stenosis. 3. The duration of symptom before admisson ranged from 3 months to 20 years. Duration over 3 years comprised 54.3% of highest incidence. 4. The most common symptom on admission was pain in low back and leg, which comprised 31 cases (88.6%) and 4 cases had no specific neurologic deficit. 5. Myelogram was performed in 30 cases, C.T. scan in 7 cases and the most common myelographic finding was bilateral single level hour glass defect in 8 cases (26.7%). 6. Decompressive surgerys were done on 30 cases and post-operative results obtained were as follows: excellent in 11 cases (36.7%), good in 13 cases (43.3%), fair in 4 cases (13.3%) and poor in 2 cases (6.7%).

Post-menopausal osteoporosis is known to be related to estrogen deficiency. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate whether or not estrogen administration can prevent or retard the process of osteoporosis induced by oophorectomy in rats. Fifty-two Sprague-Dawley rats, aged five months, were separated into three groups. Group 1 (4 rats) was control group that had sham operation without oophorectomy. Goup 2 (32 rats) was another control group that had bilateral oophorectomy alone. Group 3 (16 rats) was experimental group that had estradiol administration from the fourth week through the eighth week after bilateral oophorectomy. In group 1, all the rats were killed at the fourth week after sham operation. In group 2 and group 3, four rats in each group were killed weekly until the eighth week after oophorectomy. All the animals were subjected to radiological, histological studies on the tibia, ilium, skull, and the sixth lumbar vertebra. Also, histomorphometric measurements were 1. Osteoporotic changes were evident from the fifth week after oophorectomy and increased with time on the radiologic examination in group 2. In contrast, osteoporotic changes were evident from the second week after oophorectomy and progressed with time on the histological and histomorphometric studies in group 2. 2. After administration of estradiol, osteoporotic changes which include thinning of the cortex, decrease of the amount of trabeculae were partially restored on the radiological, histological studies in group 3. 3. Histomorphometric study revealed that the trabecular area percent (the proportion of total area of the trabeculae from the whole metaphyseal area), decreased progressively through the eight week after oophorectomy in gorup 2. Whereas the trabecular area percents of group 3 were higher than those of group 2, but still lower than initial value before oophorectomy. Based on the above observations, estradiol administration appeared to delay the progression of the osteoporotic changes induced by oophorectomy in rats.
