Ki-1 monoclonal antibody is a well known marker for Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease, but also occasionally reacts with activated lymphoid cells of either benign or malignant nature. Recently, Ki-1 antibody positive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, usually of large cell and/or polymorphous type, has been reported in the lymph nodes, skin, soft tissue, and stomach, but not in the bone. We report a case of multifocal primary bone lymphoma in a seven-year old body involving the left shoulder and right frontal bone, which proved to be a large cell, polymorphous lymphoma, helper T-cell type expressing Ki-1 antigen.

Since early 1980's high resolution ultrasound has been world-widely used for detection of cranial lesions ininfants but not widely used in korea. Authors prospectively analysed ultrasonographic findings of 107 cases whichwere confirmed by CT, autopsy or follow-up studies as supplement. the distribution of 107 cases was intracranialhematoma 40 cases, hydrocephalus 36 cases, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy 10 cases, porencephalic cyst 5 cases,cephalhematoma 5 cases, agenesis of corpus callosum 4 cases, medulloblastoma 2 cases and each one case of A-Vmalformation, intraventricular cyst, Dandy Walker cyst, lipoma and hydranecephaly. We could conclude thatneurosonography of infants was very useful and effective method in detection of cranial lesions such asintracranial hematoma, especially germinal matrix hemorrhage or intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infant,hydrocephalus, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and congenital anomalies.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite many multicenter trials on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), versus coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), in multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD), the most appropriate treatment remains a matter of debate. Moreover, studies comparing the 2 strategies in eastern society are rare. The aim of this study was to assess the relative merits of PCI and CABG in MVCAD in the post-stent era. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Patients, with MVCAD, indicated for revascularization were enrolled from 9 centers in Korea. Out of the 3,279 patients in the registry, 2102 (CABG 609 patients, PCI 1,493 patients) were selected for a comparison of their outcomes, after a statistical adjustments for the disparity for 6 independent risk factors, for the prognosis between the two groups. RESULTS: There was no significantly different in the 3 year survival rates between PCI and CABG groups. In the diabetic patients, the 3-year mortality rate in PCI group was 1.6-fold higher than in the CABG group, although it was not statistically significant (PCI 19.8%, CABG 12.5%, p=0.24). The incidence of cerebrovascular events (CVE) was higher in the CABG group. The thirty-day death rate, myocardial infarction or CVE were higher in the CABG group (PCI 1.3%, CABG 4.2%, p<0.001). Both the long and short-term revascularization rates were higher in PCI group compared to CABG group. CONCLUSION: Our Korean registry demonstrated a comparable survival rate between the PCI and CABG groups. A PCI was associated with a lower early morbidity, but with a greater need for repeated revascularization compared to a CABG.

This study was designed to assess the relative merits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD), particularly for Korean diabetics. Among 3,279 patients with MVCAD who were recommended for revascularization were enrolled from nine centers in Korea, 2,154 were selected after statistical adjustments for the disparities between two groups. Survival rates were not significantly different for three years between two groups. Among diabetic patients, the three-year mortality rate in PCI group was 1.9-fold higher than that of CABG group, although it was not statistically significant (PCI 19.8%, CABG 11.4%, p=0.14). The three-year mortality rate was similar between the two groups in non-diabetics (PCI 8.3%, CABG 10.0%, p=0.50). The 30-day rate of cerebrovascular event was higher in CABG group, for both diabetic (CABG 3.6%, PCI 0.0%, p<0.001) and non-diabetic patients (CABG 2.4%, PCI 0.0%, p<0.001). Short- and long-term revascularization rates were higher in PCI group than in CABG group. As a conclusion, this Korean registry demonstrates that PCI was associated with comparable survival rates and lower short-term morbidity, but a greater requirement for repeated revascularization compared with CABG in Korean diabetics.

The protective effects of Panax Ginseng extract to oxygen toxicity of mice were studied under 5 ATA hyperbaric oxygen atmosphere. The findings observed are as follows: 1) Administration of Ginseng water extract manifested the prolonging survival time of mice to oxygen toxicity by hyperbaric oxygen atmosphere. After 18 hours of single Ginseng water extract administration and three days, seven days of consecutive Ginseng water extract administration showed the protective effect against oxygen toxicity. 2) Three days and seven days of consecutive Ginseng water extract administration showed the more efficient protective effect than single Ginseng Water extract administration. 3) Seven days of consecutive Ginseng water extract administration did not showed the more efficient protective effect than three days of consecutive Ginseng water extract administration.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to establish whether FHR recording tape and telemetry system at home interpreted by remote telemedicine link is comparable to interpretation at hospital in a high-risk patient population. Patients and METHODS: Twenty women whose pregnancy was suspected as high risk were entered to study. All pregnancies were at term(7 at 38th weeks, 7 at 39th weeks, 6 at 40th weeks). Remote FHR monitoring at hospital was made for consecutive 6 days, using FHR-telemetry system at home which already developed and used by authors from 1991. Patients recorded FHR sound using recording tape for 5 days. On the 5th day, real-time transmitting of FHR sound to the hospital was also done via telephone lines after recording of FHR sound. On the 6th day, FHR test(NST) was performed at hospital. The signal loss(%), baseline FHR(bpm), and FHR variability were compared using computerized FHR analysis system(HYFM-I) after re-play of 5-days recording tapes at hospital with real-time transmitting data and in-hospital FHR test results. RESULTS: The signal loss was highest with real-time transmiting data when comparing with in-hospital FHR analysis. No significant differences were observed among 5-days data of FHR recording tapes. CONCLUSIONS: Frequent antenatal visit of high-risk pregnancy patients were in diHuities of their pregnancy outcomes. And many rural areas of our country are without adequate access to basic maternity services. From this point of view, a fetal telemedicine service is needed, and in fact, technically and clinically feasible. Our demonstration suggests that such a service reduces the need for hospital visit of high risk pregnancy women. Further evaluation in a variety of clinical settings is now indicated, along with cost-benefit analysis.
