Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) ventilation causes reduction in cardiac output and increase of intra-thoracic pressure, hence reduction of hepatic blood flow. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes of hepatic venous oxygen saturation, tension and content during increase and removal of PEEP and to evaluate hemodynamic variable which has the greatest effect on hepatic oxygenation. Method: Eight dogs were anethetised with 1.0 vol% isoflurane and 100% oxygen. After 30 minutes of stabilization of vital signs, PEEP were increased from 0 cmH2O to 5 cmH2O and 10 cmH2O and lowered to 0 cmH2O again, and hemodynamic data (heart rate, arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure(CVP), pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure and cardiac output(CO)) and hepatic venous oxygenation data (hepatic venous oxygen saturation(ShvO2), tension(PhvO2) and content(ChvO2)) were measured at each step. Results: CO, ShvO2, PhvO2 and ChvO2 decreased significantly at 10 cmH2O PEEP compared to the baseline and 5 cmH2O PEEP and CO, ShvO2 and ChvO2 increased signicantly with removal of PEEP. CVP increased significantly at 10 cmH2O PEEP and decreased significantly with PEEP removal. PEEP showed close correlationship with CO and CVP considering all steps of PEEP and PEEP removal. ShvO2 and PhvO2 showed most close correlationship with CO considering all steps of PEEP and PEEP removal. Conclusion: ShvO2 with PEEP therapy is dependent upon CO. Therefore cardiac output maintenance is essential during PEEP therapy. For exact evaluation of hepatic oxygenation, it is valuable to monitor ShvO2.

The author evaluated 63 patients(95 eyes) of congenital blepharoptosis whowere operated by frontalis sling and external levator resection at the Keon Yang Medical Foundation Kim's Eye Clinic. To obtain the best results in blepharoptosis, it is necessary to evaluate degree of levator function, amount of ptosis and its etiology. The results are as follows: 1. The majority(78%) were operated at the age between the first and the second decade. 2. Levator function of congenital ptosis was poor(under 4mm) in 84 eyes and fair(5~7mm) in 11 eyes. 3. The author obtained good surgical result in 20 eyes(80%) by frontalis sling and in 35 eyes(92%) by external levator resection. 4. Most common complication was undercorrection(8 cases). 5. External levator resection is the primary choice of operation for ptosis with poor levator function(3~4mm).

The surgical treatments of blepharoptosis by resection of the levator palpebrae superioris(LPS) muscle and levator aponeurotic repair, Fasanella-Servat procedure have occasionally complication like as overcorrection, especially in acquired cases. The recession of levator palpebrae superioris(LPS) muscle (anterior recession and posterior tenotomy) and/or marginal myotomy had been performed on 6 overcorrected blepharoptotic patients from November, 1987 to July, 1990 in Keon Yang medical foundation and the results were satisfactory.

To assess the effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with endorectal surface coil in the ataging of carcinoma of the uterine cervix with emphasis on parametrial involvement. Thirty women with clinically and radiographically proven carcinoma of the uterine cervix were initially included for this study, but thirteen patients were excluded since the stages of tumors wore beyond stage IIa. CT and MR findings of the remaining seventeen patients were performed at Cheil General Hospital and compared a1ong with clinical findings with the special emphasis on the parametrial involvement by the tumor. Staging was assessed by CT and MRI, and the results were compared with the pathologic staging. Radiea1 abdominal hysterectomy with the pelvic and paraaortic lymphnode dissection was done to all sewenteen patients. The staging made primarily by CT and MRI was either stsge 1 or Ila, but MR images with endorectal surface coil was superior to CT in the visualization of depth of tumor infiltration, especially parametrial involvement. The determination of the depth of the tumor made by MR images showed statistically significant correlation with histologic evaluation(R =0.768, p<0.01). The accuracy rate for the evaluation of the parametrial invo1vement was 82.3% far CT and 94.1% for MRI with endorectal surface coil. The overall accuracy rate for tumor staging was 70.5% for clinical, 58.8% for CT and 82.3% for MR evaluation. The accurecy rate in evaluation of the pelvic and paraaortic lymphnode was 88.2% for CT, but the evaluation done by MRl was not adequate due to small FOV(field of view). In assessment of The steging of careinoma of the uterine cervlx, MR images with endorectal surface coil was superior to CT, especially in the evaluation of the parametrial involvement.
