Korean Circulation Journal 1982;12(1):77-88
The systolic time intervals were measured on 388 normal chidren, ranging from 8 months to 15years of age by using simultaneous recordings of the electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram and carotid or axillary arterial pulse. The statistical methods were applied to study the influence of age, sex and heart rate(HR) on these intervals. The results were as follows. 1. The regression equation of QS2was -1. 60HR+480+/-16 msec in males and -1.68HR+492+/-15 msec in females, respectively. 2. The regression equation of LVET was -1. 13 HR+359+/-10 msec in males and -1.21 HR+369+/-13 msec in females, respectively. 3. The regression equation of PEP was -0.58 HR+133+/-9 msec in males and -0.58 HR+128+/-9 msec in females, respectively. 4. The PEP/IVET ratio was 0.29+/-0.04 in males and 0.30+/-0.06 in females. 5. There was no sex difference in various systolic time intervals, and age had a slight influence but it was negligible for clinical use. 6. According to the regression equations of QS2, LVET, and PEP to the heart rate, QS2, and LVET were found to be more inversely correlated with heart rate than PEP.

Twenty seven fractures of the femoral neck in 26 elderly patients treated by primary replacement with the endoprosthesis were reviewed. The end results of 18 hips of 17 patients who were followed up at least over 6 months were as follows. The average age was sixty-seven years. Seventeen fractures occurred in women and ten in men. Of these 18 hips, eleven hips were excellent or good. Poor results were in two hips; one developed deep seated infection and the other patient who could walk with crutch after bilateral endoprosthetic replacement because of Lt hip pain. It is considered that this method is the best treatment in the rehabilitation of elderly patients after high femoral neck fracture, because of its low morbidity and high success rate in returning the geriatric orthopaedic patients to independence.

Anomalous orignin of the left Coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is very rare, and being alleviatedsurgically, recognition of the lesion and associated hemodynamics is important. Authors had experenced a case ofthe anomalous orgin of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

Thirty-six cases of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia which were observed at the Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Hospital from 1976 till October 1982, were analyzed. 1. The sex ratio was 1.8:1, male predominance. Sixteen cases (44.4%) were under 1 year of age and 11 cases (30.6%) were under 4 months of age. 2. Cases without known heart disease were 22(61.6%). Among Known etiology, most frequent one was 7 cases(19.4%) of W-P-W syndrome. 3. The sex ratio of group without known heart disease was 2.1:1, and that of group with known heart disease was 1.3:1. Under 4 months of age, there were more cases without known heart disease(72.7%) and after 4 months of age number of cases with and without known heart disease were similar. 4. Most frequent clinical manifestation was tachydyspnea. hepatomegly, irritability, palipitation, cyanosis and pallor, vomiting, chest pain, edema, abdominal pain, and fever were followed in order of frequency. 5. Congestive heart failure occurred in 22 cases(61%). The incidence was related to the duration of attack of tachycardia, age of patients, and heart rate. The longer the duration of attack and the younger the age of patients and the faster the heart rate, the higher incidence of heart failure was observed. 6. As treatment, vagal reflex stimulation was almost ineffective, and digitalization was effective in most of the cases. Verapamil and electrical cardioversion were tried in small number of cases and proved to be effective. 7. One case (2.8%) expired becase of the supraventricular tachycardia. 8. Eight cases (30.8%) had recurrence. In younger age group, recurrence rate was lower. 9. Digoxin was given in 15 cases for prevention of recurrence and was effective in 12 cases.

Patients with severe congestive heart failure due to rheumatic heart disease generally have both reduced cardiac output and increased pulmonary and systemic venous pressures. A study was therefore made of the use of vasodilator therapy with orally administered hydralazine, which acts on arteriolar resistance vessels and thus reduces afterload. 55 children aged from 4 years old to 15 year old were divided into two groups. Group I received oral hydralazine(4mg/kg/kay in 4 divided doses) in addition to digoxin therapy for mean duration of 10.5 months. Group II received oral digoxin only. The hemodynamic results using M-mode echocardiography, chest X-ray, and EKG between two groups were analyzed. 1) 4(78%) of 55 patients had only mitral valve involvement and another 12 patients had double valve involvement and all the patients belonged to functional class III or IV fo New York heart Association. 2) Left venticular end-diastolic dimensions and the height of R in V6 on EKG were not changed significantly in both groups. 3) Shortening fraction, LPEP/LVET, and RPEP/RVET were markedly improved in both groups, but the degree of improvement in group I was more significant than in group II. 4) 21(80%) of 26 patients in group I showed significant improvement in functional class(t=1.92, 0.05

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a collective term embracing previously described syndromes such as scalenus anticus, cervical rib, costoclavicular, hyperabduction and shoulder girdle compression syndromes. Its symptoms and signs are due to bony and soft tissue compression of the neurovascular bundle at the thoracic outlet. It is the purpose of this paper to evaluate the results of experience in treating the patient with thoracie outlet syndrome by surgical means. In this study, 3 cases: cervical rib (1 case), excessive callus formation after clavicular fracture (1 case), and hyperabduction syndrome with combined scalenus anticus syndrome (1 case), which had developed thoracic outlet syndrome were treated at Severance Hospital and gratifying results were obtained.

Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous disease characterized by peripheral spread and extension to contagious tissue, rare hematogenous spread, and the formation of multiple draining sinus tracts. In the rare case of hematogenous disseminated Actinomycosis; lesions appear in all parts of the body. Bone involvement, however, is very rare except the jaw and there has been only some reports about the ribs and vertebral columns. To our knowledge, this case represents the first report of documented distal femoral involvement.

OBJECTIVE: The purposes of the present study were to investigate the effect of gamma-radiation on the expression of inhibin-alpha proteins and genes for inhibin alpha, betaA, and betain the ovary. METHODS: Immature mice were whole-body gamma-irradiated with 25% of a lethal dose. At time 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the irradiation,the ovaries were collected and used for immunohistochemistry for inhibin-alpha, and RT_PCR for inhibin-alpha, betaA, and betaB. RESULTS: The expression of the immunoreactive inhibins-alpha was maintained at 12 hours post-irradiation and reduced thereafter. The expression of inhibin-alpha mRNA was significantly increased with the time after the irradiation. However there were no significant changes in the expression of betaA and betaB mRNAs. CONCLUSION: It might be thought that inhibin acts as one of the regulatory factors in the gamma-radiation-induced follicular atresia in mice
