We studied 193 Diabetics without any symptoms of coronary artery disease and 39 Normal healthy subjects as Control group, using treadmill exercise test and obtained following results. 1) The positive rate was significantly higher in Diabetics(19.4% in Normal ECG groups and 25.4% in total Diabetics)than Control groups(5.1%)(0.010.05). 5) There was no difference in HbAIC, Total cholesterol and Triglyceride between positive and negative groups(P>0.05). In summary, with exercise test, the positive rate was higher in Diabetics than in Normal control groups and it seemed to be treadmill exercise test is a useful screening method for evaluation of coronary artery disease as well as for assesment of treatment and follow up care.

A survey of the literature on the treatment of ruptures of deltoid ligament associated with fracture of distal part of fibula is controversial. Some authors advocated surgical repair of the ruptured deltoid ligament based on the theoretical consideration, while others advocated non-operative treatment based on the clinical consideration. We studied the results in forty-five patients who were treated for disruption of the deltoid ligament and a distal fibular fracture. The length of follow-up in our series was twelve to twenty-four months, with an average of fifteen months. When the fibular fracture was adequately reduced and medial clear space was returned to its normal width, the 91 percents both of patients of being treated with repair of deltoid ligament and patients of being treated without repair had a good or excellent results.

Severe bronchospasm, hypotension and skin rash were observed in a 23 year-old woman after injection of gallamine iodide. Her past history revealed no asthmatic and allergic diathesis. Initial administration of succinylcholine induced a mild degree of bronchspasm and urticaria-like skin rash, which were intensified in severity after gallamine injection under the anesthetic state. Administration of hydrocortisone 500mg I.V. and antihistaminic(Avil), 100pmg I.M., produced successful relief of bronchospasm with circulatory embarrassment. A review was done as to histamine libration and bronchospasm due to succinylcholine, gallamine, d-tubocurarine, thiopental and atropine. The value of intradermal skin rash test was discussed.

Arterial pressure increased from normal to 80~90 mrn Hg, 90~100 mm Hg & 110 ~130 mmHg when the intracrania1 pressure was mechanically elevated to 20~40, mm Hg, 50~70 mm Hg & 90~l00mmHg respectively, while rabbits (average 3kg) were anesthetized with subcuttneous urethane, (1gm/kg), In these circumstances, there was no specific change in the intracranial pressure, or arterial pressure between two groups when one was given intravenous 5mg/kg of gallamine and the other 0. 5mg /kg of intravenous pancuronium. But in a group given 1mg/ kg of d-tubocurarine, arterial pressure decreased significantly, while intracranial pressure was not changed particularly arterial pressure decreased more significantly when the intracranial pressure was increased to 90~100 mm Hg, resulting in an initial arterial pressure of 110~130 mm Hg. Therefore the authors recommend. d-tubocurarine as the agent of choice among these three non-depolarizing muscle relaxants for induction and maintpnance of anesthesia in patients with elevated intracranial pressure pre-operatively.

Hypercarbia can occur in spite of adequate ventilation if removal of carbon dioxide from the inspired gases is inadequate. Neither blood pressure nor heart rate is a reliable indicator of hypercarbia. A 53-year old male, ASA physical status II with mild hypertensive patient underwent primary repair because of rotator cuff tear of the shoulder. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental-succinylcholine and maintained with pancuronium- Halothane-N2O-O2 in a semiclosed circle system. We report occurrence of hypercarbia due to replacement with an incorrect unidirectional valve which is too small to function properly.

This 51 years old Korean house wife has been suffered from bullous and erosive eruptions on the abdomen, back, both thigh and legs, duration of three days with sudden onset Prior to admission she has had a erosion on the oral mucosa for one year. The diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris was confirmed by histopathology and immunoelectrophoresis. This patient was improved with treatment of prednisolone bu Lever's "Logarithmic fashion" and used the maintenance dose of prednisolone without recurrence.
