We observed the serum cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol values in 25 hyperlipidemic patients with procectofene(LIpanthyl(R))administration. 1) The mean serum lipids before & after procetofene administration was as follows 2) The undersirable effect of the drug was found on 3 patients; those were abdominal fullness, headache & pruritus.

30 patients with essential hypertension were treated with diltiazem (Herben(R))significantly decreased both systolic and diastolic blood pressuer and heart rate. Mean decrease in systolic & diastolic blood pressuer were 38.0+/-4,5mmHg and 16.3+/-2.3 mmHg respectively and mean drop in heart rate was 17+/-2 beats/mm. The side effects of diltiazem (Herben(R)) were mild headache, fatigue and pruritus, but those were insignificant. Diliazem may be of benefit to hypertensive patients, and particularly useful when hypertension occurs in association with coronary artery disease.

The onprovement of civil registration reguires continuous study rather than periodic efforts. More and better statistics, however, are urgently required to formulate development programs and planning, Data obtainable from the civil registration are usually marred by errors of omission which are difficult to correct. This study aimed at finding out the problems occurring when a set of crude birth registration data in a rural area is used. Data Sources of this study are : 1) For birth registration : government birth registration records obtained from myun office and other government offices. 2) for the actual number of births : birth and child records from the Kang Wha Community Health Project. The study area is Sunwon Myun and Naega Myun in Kang Wha Gun, Gyunggido. The reference period for the accumulated data is one full year : Jan. 1st 1975 - Dec. 31st 1975. Major findings are as follows : If the number of registered birth is compared with the actual number of births which occurred in the target area, the former os far greater than the latter. The general assumption usually is , that the actual number of exceeds the registered number of birth in Korea. The observation from this specific study in this specific target area, shows the opposite trend. The number of births which actually occurred during the year of 1975 in the study area namely 256. The difference comes mainly from the fact that many cases of births from other areas were registered in the target area. In other words birth is not registered where it occurred but where the permanent residence address is. Among 550 births registered in the target area 66% did not occur in the target area. Only one third of all registered births were registered within the legal period for birth registration which is 2 weeks. 34% of the registered births actually occurred in 1974, but were registered in 1975. In 55% of the cases a difference was observed between the actual data of birth and the registered data of birth. From the 256 births which occurred in the target area, only 153 births (59%) were registered at the myun office and the remaining 130 births (41%) were not resistered there in the year of study. 6% of the 550 cases listed as registered have no separate registration sheets. Nevertheless, they definitely have been registered in the birth list at the myun office. 3% of the 550 cases are not recorded in this list but have a separate registration sheet at the myun offices. In conclusion, birth registration data have many errors and problems. Their usefulness as a source for vital and other statistics should be reconsidered. A series of sound methological studies will be necessary to establish their actual usefulness. A continuous and permanent compulsory system of birth recording is needed.

The authors report the experience of twenty patients of transpedicular Zielke instrumentation after anatomical reduction of the spondylolisthesis. Anstomical reduction was done with the aid of temporary application of Harrington distraction rod, and the reduced segment was fixed with transpedicular Zielke instrumentation. And, anterior interbody fusion was supplemented in a single stage operation. Follow up period was between 13 to 25 months after operation with the average of 19 months. 1. The age of the patients was 38 years in average ranging from 11 to 61 years. 2. Types of the spondylolisthesis were spondylolytic type in 11 cases, degenerative type in 6 cases, dysplastic type in 1 case and pathologic type in 2 cases. 3. The level of the lesion were L5-Sl in 12 cases, L4-5 in 7 cases and L3-4 in 1 case. 4. Pre-operative clinical feature included low back pain in 95%, radiating pain in 65%, and neurological claudication in 45%. 5. The average percentage of slippage was changed from 24% preoperatively to 6% postoperatively and to 8% at the final follow up. The initial correction rate was 75% and the amount of correction loss during the follow up period was 11% in average. 6. Slip angle was changed from 3°preoperatively to −3°poetoperatively and to 0°at the end of follow up. In the 12 cases with local kyphosis, average slip angle of 14°preoperatively was improved to 2°postoperatively, and to 7°at the end of follow up. 7. Bony fusion was obtained in 19 cases within 4 to 6 months. 8. There were 2 cases of metal failure with considerable loss of reduction ; one patient with pathologic spondylolisthesie due to active tuberculous spondylitis required re-operation and another patient showed fusion eventually in the redisplaced position. Other complication included 1 transient dysuria, 1 ileus and 2 meralgia paresthetics. 9. Clinical symptoms were improved in 95%. Follow up result of the operation according to Gill's criteria were excellent 65%, good 25%, fair 5%, and poor 5%.
