The following results were obtained through the clinical review of 57 dead cases of tuberculous meningitis which were treated at Mokpo Children's T.B. Hospital during the period of 7 years from January 1970 till December 1976. 1) Mortality rate was higher in the younger age group. 2) Seasonal incidence was highes in summer, and next in autumn. 3) Tuberculin test revealed positive reaction in 42.3%, which was much lower than that of other tuberculous patients. 4) The frequent clinical symptoms on admission were in the order of nuchal rigidity, fever and vomiting. 5) In studying the relationship between the finding of CSF and the prognosis, the following was noted:Mean Leukocyte count of dead cases increased, mean protein level increased, and mean chloride level decreased more than those of other patients of tuberculous meningitis. 6) No significant relationship was found between the tuberculousis of outside of meninges and morality rate. 7) The later the treatment started from the onset of disease, the higher the stages of disease on treatment were, the higher the morality rate.

Clinical studies were made on 83 miliary tuberculosis at Mokpo Children's T.B. Hospital during the period of January, 1971 through December, 1976. The results were as follows. 1. The highest incidence was noted in the group aged 1 to 3 years of age and 78.3% of all cases was under 6 years. 2. The incidence in summer was noted to be the highest and reverse in the fall. 3. The 26 cases (31.3%) had another T.B. patients in the family, most of them were their parents. 4. As the result of tuberculin skin test, the 45 cases(59.2%) of total 76 cases were noted as positive reaction, except uncertain 7 cases. 5. the chief complaints on adimission were as following orders such as cough, fever, general weakness, vomiting, generalized convulsion, dyspnea etc. 6. The positivity of A.F.B. in sputum or gastric juice was found in 42.2% from direct smear and culture. 7. According to hematologic examination, ESR increased and anemia appeared mostly. Increased leukocyte count was noted in 55.4%. 8. Among complications and associated diseases, tuberculous meningitis was the most as38.6% out of all cases, and the next was tuberculous lymphadenitis. 9. The miliary shadow on X-ray finding in 82.5%disappeared within 4 months after admission, and it persisted over 7 months in 2 cases. 10. The treatment was, initially as a rule, done as triple therapy with INH, PAS and SM in 59 cases, and the secondary tuberculous regimens were administered to 24 cases. The rate of death was noted as 31.3%(26cases), and most of them were under 3 years of age.

This study has been examined different morphologic measurements in the evaluation of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Preoperative CT-Myelography from 30 patients who underwent surgery for central lumbar stenosis were analyzed. Based on this, we concluded as follows : 1) Bony measurement alone did not reliably identify patients with spinal stenosis. 2) Measurement of the transverse area of the dural sac on CT-Myelography was the most accurate method for identifying stenosis. 3) Lumbar myelography was still considered to have an important role in the valuation of a patient with stenosis because of correlation between the cross-sectional area of the dural sac and the anteroposterior diameter of the dural sac was excellent. 4) We identified soft-tissue problems as the main cause of stenosis. 5) The most common level of maximum stenosis was L4-5.

Heart transplantation is an accepted procedure for treatment of end-staged cardiac failure. A return to near-normal quality on life can be expected in many patients with a nonrejecting cardiac allograft, and many of these patients will return to the operating room for noncardiac surgical procedures. Anesthesiologists should be alert to recognizing problems caused by the presence of infection in immunosuppressed patients, modes of presentation of rejection phenomena and how transplanted organs, notably significantly denervated ones, may behave and respond under the pathophysiologic circumstance that arise during surgery, resuscitation and intensive care. The use of regional techniques require adequate preloading to avoid exaggerated hypotension and aseptic technique to avoid infection. Hypobaric spinal anesthesia has some benefit. It does not depress cardiovascular and respiratory system and keep adequate venous return by trendelenberg position. We report herein a case of successfully undergone total hip replacement in a patient who had previously undergone orthotopic heart transplantation under hypobaric spinal anesthesia.

PURPOSE: Cytogenetic and genetic alterations of tumors are closely related with progressian and promotion of cancers. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has known to be a novel tool for the detection of genetic alteration in solid cancers. We performed CGH for the detection of new genetic alterations of bladder tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biotin-labeled tumor DNA and digoxigenin-labeled normal DNA were hybridized to normal metaphase cells. The fluorescence signals were captured by fluorescence microscope after detection by avidin FITC and antidigoxigenin rhodamin. Then, the ratio of fluorescence was calculated by an image analyzer. RESULTS: CGH results showed amplifications on chromosomes 1q, 3q, 4q, 5p, 6pq, 7p, 8q, 11q, 12q, 13q, 17q, 18q and 20pq (more than 20% of cases). Deletions were on chromosome 2q21-qter, 4q13-q23, 5q, 8p12-p22, 9pq, 11p13-p15 (more than 20% of cases). High level amplifications were noted on chromosomes 1q31-qter, 3p21, 3q24, 4q26, Sq21-qter, llq14-qter, 12q15-q21, 12q21-q24, 13q21-q31, 17q22, 18q22. CONCLUSION: We considered that the amplification on chromosome 4q26, 11q14-qter, 12q21-q24, 18q12 and deletion on 4qll-4q13 as a novel genetic alterations of bladder cancer. Our results revealed different pattem of amplifications that affect other regions from previous study on chromosome 7, llq, 12q, 13q, and 18q. CGH was very useful for the screening of genetic alterations of solid tumors.
