A number of noninvasive technics have been advocated as reflecting left ventricular performance. These methods include systolic time intervals, echocardiography and imaging of the left ventricular chamber with radionuclides during systole and diastole. Radionuclide evaluation of left ventricular function by means of the gamma camera and gating currently appears to be the most reliable noninvasive method for approximating angiographic evaluation of left ventricular performance. Utilizing the radionuclide angiography, we measured the left ventricular function in 19 normal healthy control, 60 patients with coronary artery diseases 7 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, 5 patients with hypertension. 1) Left ventricular ejection fraction decreased in 12 patients with anterior myocardial infarction (39.9+/-11.6%), 17 patients with inferior myocardial infarction (49.9+/-8.4%) and 7 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (19.0+/-5.8%), and there was a statistically significant difference compared with 19 normal control group (63.5+/-8.2%)(p<0.005). However there were no statistically significant difference between normal control group, patients with hypertension (58.8+/-7.6%) and patients with angina pectoris (60.1+/-6.5%). 2) Left ventricular ejection fraction decreased in both anterior and inferior myocardial infarction, and there was a statisically significant difference between both groups (p<0.01). All 13 patients with acute myocardial infarction had abnormal LVEF (40.5+/-9.1%) whcih was significantly lower than that of 16 patients with old myolardial infarction (50.1+/-10.5%)(p<0.01).

Fourteen cases of porokeratosis were studied clinically. There were four clinical types consisting of classical plaque type(Mibelli), superficial disseminated eruptive form of Respighi (SDE type) and linear type, each in 3 cases, and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) in 5 cases. The Mibelli and linear type of the disease appeared in the early teens but other two showed late onset of second to third decade. All cases of SDE type occurred in males and most cases of Mibelli and DSAP type in females. Five cases of DSAP were apparently associated with sun-exposure. The disease process of case 6 (SDE type) seemed to be related to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the brain. The family occurrence of porokeratosis was found in 2 cases of SDE typc and 3 of five cases of DSAP type. They were transrnitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The linear type oppears to be distinct variety from the early appearance of lesions in linear fashion over the lower extremity. The histological features were essentially the same including the typical cornoid lamella, but the features in types other than classical plaque were often minimal, No effective mode of therapy has been found.

Brunner's gland adenoma(or Brunneroma) is clinically relevant tumor-like lesion of the duodenum which is composed of submucosal Brunner's gland tissue. Since the first case by autopsy was described by Cruveihier in l935, there have been less than 190 reports in the world literature, Brunner's gland adenoma is an extremely rare entity that accounts for only 10.6% of benign duodenal tumors, which are themselves relatively rare representing 0.008% of all surgical and autopsy specimens. The clinical manifestation of this tumor are non-specific gastrointestinal complaints, such as bloating or epigastric pain, and tumor often gives rise to melena or obstruction, It is postulated that this tumor are hamartomas rather than true neoplasm. However, they undergo rarely malignant transformation. We report on a case of a large pedunculated Brunner's gland adenoma, which was successfully polypectomized.
