Authers analysed the electrocardiographic exercise test of 196 cases of normal and 150 cases of various diseases according to the Minnesota Code, Master's criteria and Lepeschkin's criteria and following results were obtained. 1. In normal cases, Lepeschkin's method of analysis of single Master's exercise test revealed less frequent false positive case (7.7%) than those of Master's (12.1%) and Minnesota Code (12.6%). 2. ST-segment changes by the Minnesota Code in the postexercise electrocardiogram were obtained 12.6% of nomal cases, 63.9% of the cases of anginal symptoms, 31.5% of hypertension and 15.4% of diabetes mellitus. 3. Positive exercise test by the Master's criteria in the postexercise electrocardiogram were obtained 12.1% of normal cases, 63.9% of the cases of anginal symptoms, 31.5% of hypertension and 15.4% of diabetes mellitus. 4. Positive exercise test by the Lepeschkin's criteria in the postexercise electorcardiogram were obtained 7.7% of normal cases, 50% of the cases of anginal symptoms, 18.4% of hypertension and 15.4% of diabetes mellitus.

Fungi have been recognized as a significant cause of external otitis and it may be the primary pathogen or be part of a mixed infection. In the immunocompromised host, fungus is capable of producing infection in inner ear or middle ear. Otomycoses are most frequently caused by Aspergillus spp. and Candida sap. There are few reports that Aspergillus species other than A. fumigatus, A. niger and f. flavus have caused chronic otitis media. We report two cases of chronic otitis media caused by Aspergillus ferrous in Korea. One case is a 7-year-old girl who had recurrent serous otorrhea and otalgia for 4 years, was reattended otolaryngology clinics with otorrhea of 3 days durations and another is a 6-year-old girl who had serous otorrhea for 2 months and 3 day fever, was attended otolaryngology clinics with them. Microscopic appearance and colony morphology from ear discharge cultures revealed A. ferrous. The infection responded well to topical ketoconazole therapy. This report should help to raise medical personnel's awareness of such human opportunistic fungal ear infections.

Author analysed ECG records of conventional 12 leads of 240 healthy persons (120 males and 120 females of 15-90 years of age) to evaluate the cardiac changes with advancing age and following results were obtained; 1. P-R intervals were not changed significantly with advancing age. The QT, Q-aT, Q-aU, and Q-U intervals were prolonged with advancing age and they were marked in male than female. 2. Mean QRS axis were shifted to the left with advancing age and these were more distinct in male than female. Mean P axis and mean T axis were not changed appreciably with advancing age. 3. The incidences of ECG position of vertical and semivertical heart position were decrease with advancing age and intermediate, horizontal and semihorizontal heart position were increased with advancing age. 4. The transitional zone of precordial leads were not changed with advancing age.

We present an autopsy case of signet ring cell carcinoma of urinary bladder which underwent widespread metastsis through nearly entire organ. The patient, 45-year old male, suffered from hematuria, dysuria and flank pain for 6 months. Under the diagnosis of the signet ring cell carcinoma by the cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and ileocutaneous ureteral division were performed. But he died after 11-months after the diagnosis. The autopsy confirmed the widespread metastasis at the lung, kidney, adrenal gland, parathyroid gland, heart, stomach, ileum, spine, rib and meninges. The preveously resected urinary bladder discolosed the well defined fungating mass at the dome and anterio-lateral portion without apparent evidence of the remnant of the urachus. Histologically, the signet ring cells were predominent and focally mucinous pool floating the signet ring cells was noted. We could find several foci of the well differentiated adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas. The above findings may reflect that the origin of carcinoma may be from the multipotential transitional cell epithelium.

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.
