The purpose of this study is to present quantitative data showing the relationship between visual acuity and refractive error in the various types of myopia: simple myopia, simple myopic astigmatism and compound myopic astigmatism. 1. The study covered 681 patient (1259 eyes) examined by having refractive error in myopia. (-0.25 ~ -20.00D) the Department of Ophthalmology, Yonsei University Medical Center and Wonju Christian Hospital. 2. Plotting the logarithm of visual acuity on the logarithm of the degree of myopia gives a coefficient correlation of -0.8028. The statistical data showed significant in correlation coefficient (r) in various types of myopIa: simple myopia r=-0.7789(p=0.001), simple myopic astigmatism r=-0.7877(p=0.001), compound myopic astigmatism r=-0.7537(p=0.001). 3. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.6445. 4. The mathematical mean of the various types of myopia: a. myopIa; simple myopia: 0.29(=20/60), simple myopic astigmatism: 0.87(=20/25), compound myopic astigmatism: 0.29(=20/60). b. visual acuity; simple myopia: -2.53D, simple myopic astigmatism: -0.50D, compound myopic astigmatism: -3.04D. 5. The formulas for the two regression line were: log V=-0.7385 log M-0.4976 (A)(F=2175.7303, p=0.001), log M= -0.8727 log V -0.3641 (B)(F=2175.7303, p=0.001). 6. Confidence limits were determined for the regression lines and table and set up for predicting either the degree of myopia or the visual acuity if the other is known.

The health conditions under which the mothers and children of Korea live are not adequate. We realize that the needs in the field of MCH a re enormous, but that it is unrealistic and unwise to use the entire health budget of 4.9 million dollars to build maternity and pediatric hospitals. There must be an extensive program to reduce the number of births as well as the number of deaths if the living standrds in Korea are to improve. The success of Korea's health program is closely related to the general economic development. Without a reduction in the number of births it seems impossible that a successful economic development program can be planned, or executed. In the first five years of the program the group successfully reached by the family planning program was largely the receptive, motivated women in the older child bearing age group. A strategic platform for the success of the next five year plan would be to concentrate on the younger less motivated mothers; to educate them to better family spacing and child care. Inclusion of family planning in a comprehensive, total maternal and child care program seems a rational and effective approach. Therefore a successful national family planning program would seem to be a sound basic platform on which to base maternal and child health work as well as the economic development program in Korea. We need not repeat here the merits of family planning in Korea. A1ready the national program has accomplished much towards improving the health of Korea's mothers and children. It is hoped that in the coming decade the family planning program will go beyond the immediate aim of curbing the explosive population growth and adopt as its long-term objective promotion of total maternal and chi1d health. This objective can only be achieved by good organization, careful planning, competent staff and an adequate budget. A comprehensive maternal and child health program should include better care of children, responsible parenthood, marriage guidance, maternity care, and sterility correction all leading to better mental and physical health.

BACKGROUND: With the recent development in arterial reconstructive procedure such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or atherectomy, the incidence of vascular complications involving femoral artery is increasing due to greater use of larger percutaneous instruments(including arterial sheath) and periprocedural anticoagulant therapy. Femoral pseudoaneurysm requires rapid diagnosis and management to prevent limb ischemia, worsening of the arterial injury or repair of the arterial defect. Recently, accurate diagnosis of these injuries can be made nonivasively with duplex sonography and Doppler color flow imaging, and nonsurgical treatment may be possible by using external compression guided by ultrasound even in patients requiring prolonged anticoagulant therapy. METHOD: Three patients, one undergoing coronary angiography and two undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, developed expansile groin masses at the vascular access sites diagnosed as femoral artery pseudoaneurysm s by Doppler ultrasound. All patients were hypertensives, taking aspirin and two patients who underwent PTCA received intravenous heparin after procedure. After diagnosis of femoral pseudoaneurysm, all patients underwent mechanical(C-clamp) external compression guided by ultrasound for 3 hours. RESULT: Follow up color flow scans were obtained after 24 hours and in one patients, blood flow in the tract was eliminated but persistent blood flow was observed in two patients who underwent PTCA. Before closure of pseudoaneurysm, one patient needed another 6 hours of ultrasound guided compression and the other needed more 12 hours. All patients were discharged without complication or recurrence of pseudoaneurysm. CONCLUSION: These cases suggest that nonsurgical closure of femoral pseudoaneurysms is feasible even in patients requiring prolonged antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy.

We report a case of 86-year-old woman with coronary artery fistula connecting the right coronary artery and left bronchial artery accompanied with cystic lung disease presenting with dyspnea and chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed that right coronary artery was anastomosed with the collaterals of left bronchial artery at the right hilum and tortuously ascended along the aortic arch and descended connecting with left pulmonary lobar artery at a certain site which is faintly opcified showing to and pro phasic movement. Chest CT scan shows the multicystic changes of the left lower lobe of the lung and hypertrophied bronchial artery of left lobar bronchus. Under the diagnosis of coronary artery fistula, hypertensive heart disease and multicystic lung disease, patient's symptoms and signs were improved by conservative treatment without surgical intervention.

From the Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital, 505, Banpo-Dong, Seocho-Gu, 137-040, Seoul, Korea, Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are usually late manifestations of neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease) and most become clinically apparent in middle-aged patients as multiple benign tumors. To our review of the literature, solitary malignant stromal tumor of gastrointestinal tract is exceptionally rare in von Recklinghausen's disease. We herein present a case of solitary jejunal stromal tumor in a 50-year-old woman with NF1, which histopathologically showed a malignant change and combined smooth muscle-neural type.

PURPOSE: To evaluate CT features of metastatic ureteral tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT findings in 16 patients with ureteral metastases were evaluated retrospectively ;there were eight cases of bilateral ureteral involvement. Primary tumors metastatic to the ureter were advanced gastric cancer (n=13), breast cancer (n=l), colon cancer (n=l), or adenocarcinoma of unknown primary (n=l). We analysed CT findings with regard to the site of ureteral obstruction, configuration of obstructed sites of ureter, presence or absence of periureteral soft tissue density, and status in other organs. RESULTS: Among 24 ureters involved, ureteral wail thickening was noted in 15, periureteral soft tissue density in 13. Small nodular enhancing lesions less than lcm, within the retroperitoneal space around the involved ureters were noted in seven patients, and four of them were multiple lesions. CONCLUSION: Among various primary tumors, gastric cancer was the most common cause of ureteral metastasis. The common CT findings of ureteral metastases were thickening of ureteral wall, periureteral soft tissue density, and small periureteral enhancing nodular lesions. The constellation of these CT findings may be helpful in making the diagnosis of ureteral metastases.

Double outlet left ventricle (DOLV), even defined as origins of both great vessels from left ventricle,implies varieties of morphology in concern with loop pattern, location of ventricular septal defect, conotruncalanatomy, and presence or adsence of pulmonary stenosis. With the improvement of surgical tenchnique, correctivesurgery of DOLV became possible, and preoperative diagnosis and determination of the accurate anatomicalrelaltionship between great vessels, ventricular septal defect, and ventricles is very important in surgicalimplication. Authors have recently experienced two cases of DOLV. The one is with subpulmonic conus, subpulmonicventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and preductal type coarctation of aorta. The other is withbilateral coni and subaortic ventricular septal defect. Loop patterns are [S,D,D] in both cases.

518 children (282 boys and 236 girs) of a primary school were determined under mydrin-p instillation. (1) Among 518 children, Ammetropia was 43.6% emmetropia 56.4%. (2) As to the distribution of refractive error 38.2% were hyperopia and 4.1% myopic. (3) There was an anuual decrease in the incidence of hyperopia both in the country and city. In contrast, the incidence of myopia showed an annual increase in city only. (4) The majority of refractive error were less than 3 diopter. (5) "With the rule" astigmatism was more commonly found than "against the rule". (6) The incidence of myopia among primary school children in the country had dropped to 4.1 % as compared with 13.7% in city.
