1.Effects of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning on Hepatic Blood Flow.
Korean Circulation Journal 1973;3(1):1-7
The effects of acute carbon monoxide poisoning on the hepatic blood flow were studied in mongrel dogs. In this study dogs were divided into two groups, namely control and experimental, and the hepatic blood flow measured by the determination of the fractional clearance of the intravenously administered colloid 198Au. In the experimental group carbon monoxide poisoning was induced by the rebreathing of about 2% CO gas mixture for 15 minutes, and the hepatic blood flow was measured before and 30 minutes after the completion of the rebreathing of the gas mixture. The hepatic blood flow in the experimental group showed a insignificant relative increase compared to that in the control group. The alteration of the mean value of the hepatic blood flow following carbon monoxide poisoning appeared proportionate to that of the cardiac index, and inversely proportionate to those of the femoral artery mean pressure and the total peripheral resistance. However, the individual value of hepatic blood flow revealed no correlation with any of these hemodynamic measurements.

Despite the continually improving results of total knee arthroplasty, infection remains the most debilitating complication. The treatments of infected total knee arthroplasty were variable, but initially we removed infected implants and inserted antibiotic containing cemented spacer. Postoperatively, patients were mobilized in a 30 knee flexion state and treated with parenteral antibiotics. After control of infection was clinically and radiologically determined, we inserted PCL substitute total knee prosthesis. Five days postoperatively, patient began touch down standing exercise. We observed two cases in whom infected total knee arthroplasty had been salvaged successfully with two-stage implantation using cement spacers containing antibiotics.

Despite continually improving results of total hip arthroplasty, infection remains the major debilitating complication. The treatments of infected total hip arthroplasty were variable. but initially we removed infected implants and inserted antibiotic containing cemented spacer so called PRSTALAC to prevent scar contracture and disuse osteoporosis. After 6 weeks later, control of infection was clinically and radiologically determined, we inserted new prosthesis with cement. Three weeks postoperatively, patient began touch down standing exercise. We observed infected total hip patient in whom hip had been salvaged successfuily with twostage implantation using so called "" PROSTALAC "" which was made with Moore stem.

It appears that frequency of fractures of the aceta ulum is increasing with the number of automobiles on our roads and when they occur they seem to pose difficulties of management. Because, the anatomy of this region is complicated, making surgical approaches difficult. Second, the patients often have major associated injuries, making early operative treatment hazardous. Third, the fractures are often severly comminuted, leading many surgeons to beleave that operative reduction is impossible. Finally, and unfortunately, the fractures are often missed. The aim of treatment must be to restore the fractured acetabulum to its normal anatomy followed by early motion to promote healing and restore function. Undisplaced acetabular fractures have a good prosis with conservative treatment but patients with displaced fractures of the acetabulum not reduced by manipulation and traction should be considered candidates for open reduction. The author experienced 72 cases of acetabular fracture patients who were admitted to the department of Orthopaedic Surgery of Catholic Medical College and Center from January 1979 to August 1983. The results of 48 patients who were followed up over 6 months period were as follows; l. Among 72 cases(44 were male and 28 were female), the most common causes of acetabular fracture was pedestrian struck by car. 2. 56 were treated conservatively and 16 were treated surgically. The result were as follows; Excellent-15(31%), Good-23(48%), Fair-8(17%), Poor-2(4%). 3. 72 cases were classified by Letournel classification. The most common type was posterior wall fracture(14 cases), and second most was T-shaped fracture(13 cases). 4. If the grossly displaced fragments are present they should be reduced and fixed surgically if surgical approach can be done. 5. It is essential to understand the pathologic anatomy of the acetabulum in order to approach the acetabular fracture sefely and with maximum ease.

To evaluate the antihypertensive effect, side effects and metabolic changes of arotinolol, a combined alpha and beta blocker, 10-15mg of arotinolol twice a day was administered for 8 weeks in 27 hypertensives (168+/-16/106+/-10mmHg) without heart failure, bradycardia, conduction disturbance, coronary heart disease or renal impairment. Blood pressure decreased to 137+/-10/90+/-6mmHg and average reduction of systolic BP and diastolic BP were 31 mmHg(18%) and 16mmHg(15%) respectively. Pulse rate reduced significantly(p<0.01) after 2weeks' treatment of arotinolol and average reduction of pulse rate was 10 beats/min after 8weeks treatment. There were no significant changes of serum ALP, AST and ALT, BUN, and serum creatinine, Na+, K+, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride. But in 8 patients(30%), insomina, sleepness, cold extrimities or numbness on extremities developed or aggravated. These results suggest that arotinolol be an useful antihypertensive agent in hypertensives without heart failure, bradyarrhythmais or peripheral vascular disease.

Meigs' syndrome is defined as a hydrothorax with ascites and a pelvic tumor, both of which resolve on removal of the tumor. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is a variant not possessing the original tumor cell types described by Meigs. Both these syndromes should be considered in otherwise healthy women who present with either new or recurrent hydrothorax and ascites. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome occurs with the clinical triad of (1)ascites, (2)pleural effusion and (3)Brenner tumors, struma ovarii, benign thecomas, extreme ovarian edema, uterine leiomyomas or other benign pelvic tumors. A case of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome associated with Brenner tumor is presented with a brief review of literatures.

BACKGROUND: It has been known that arterial carbon dioxide tension is 4~5 mmHg higher than end-tidal carbon dioxide tension in healthy adults during general anesthesia. But negative arterial to end-tidal PCO2 difference was reported in pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the difference between arterial and end-tidal PCO2 in anesthetized patients with reduced functional residual capacity. METHODS: 90 patients were divided into 3 groups i.e. control group (n=30), obese group (n=20, body weight more than 20% greater than ideal weight), pregnant group (n=40). All patients had no cardiac or respiratory abnormalities and never smoked. Arterial blood gas analysis and measurement of end-tidal PCO2 were done 20 minutes after induction of anesthesia in control and obese group and just before uterine incision and 20 minutes after fetal delivery in pregnant group. RESULTS: There were significant correlations between arterial and end-tidal PCO2 in all groups. The incidences of negative arterial to end-tidal PCO2 difference were 10% in control group, 40% in obese group, 42.5% in pregnant group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: From this study, it is concluded that patients with reduced functional residual capacity have more incidences of negativity than normal patients in the values of arterial to end-tidal PCO2 difference during general anesthesia. So when the tight control of PaCO2 is required in patients with reduced FRC, we recommend to measure PaCO2 for better anesthetic management.
