The concentration of serum triglyceride values were studied at department of pediatrics, Chungnam National University Hospital. With the total 742 cases, among them 462 boys and 280 girls who were at the age of 2 months through 15 years old. Serum triglycerde values were measured to determine the distribution of values and evaluated on the basis of sex, age, height and weight percentile. The following results were obtained: 1) The mean value of the serum triglycerides were 88.11+/-35.76 mg/dl in boys and 94.82+/-34.56 mg/dl in girls. 2) In distribution of trglyceride level by percentile, the value of 90th percentile was 136 mg/dl. 3) The values of the serum triglyceride from 6 to 11 year old age group were significant low values in boys and girls.

We report two cases of rare, and clinically atypical metastatic breast carcinoma; zosterifo pattern, and cicatrirical pattern. A 51-year-old female had zosteriform eruption in the right chest and arm, which was diagnosed as an inflammatory, and telangiectatic type breast carcinoma I. skin biopsy. Another patient, a 71-year-old female,. had a retraction of nipple and breast, al erythematous nodular plaques like a surgical scar with distant metastasis to the counterlateral inguinal lymph node. A skin biopsy disclosed nodular type lymphatic dissemination of brea.,: carcinoma. In both patients, cutaneous lesions were the first signs of breast cancer with a gra-r prognosis.

Recently, CT scan, CT sialogram, radionuclide imaging and ultasonogram are widely applicated in conjuctionwith conventional studies such as plain film, sialogram and arteriogram for the diagnosis of salivary glanddisease. Among them, ultrasonogram porvides safe, noninvasive, and reliable way to diagnose salivary glanddisease. Authors evaluated ultrasonographic and sialographic findings of patients with suspected salivary glanddisease in 16 cases at Korea University Hosital for 8 months. (from Dec. 1983 to Aug. 1984). The following resultsare observed. 1. Final diagnosis of 16 cases were 2 cases of stone, 1 case of pleomorphic adenoma, 2 cases ofneurilemmoma, 3 cases of chronic sialademitis, 1 case of abscess, 2 cases of Retention cyst, 1 case of psendocyst,1 case of tuberculous lymphadenopathy, and 3 cases of normal finding. 2. Diagnostic ultrasonogram providesaccurate information for the size, location and character of the lesion, and differentiates intragladular lesionsfrom extraglandular ones. 3. Ultrasonogram is one of convenient, reliable and initial modality for the diagnosisof salivary gland disease.

Intracranial developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are the most common cerebral vascular
malformation and are usually asymptomatic. Movement disorders are rarely associated with DVAs
within basal ganglia regions. We report a case of markedly asymmetric parkinsonism due to unilateral
DVA in the basal ganglia, which occurred together with symmetrical nigrostriatal dopaminergic deficits.
A 57-year-old woman presented with resting tremor in the right hand lasting for 6 months. She also
experienced problems with gait and started falling while walking one month ago. The neurological
examination found a resting tremor in the right hand and moderate rigidity and bradykinesia in the right
extremities. She reported light headedness on standing up. The patient displayed minimal response to
treatment with 300 mg levodopa. The FP-CIT PET scan revealed symmetrical decrease of radiotracer
uptake in bilateral basal ganglia. Brain MRI and cerebral angiography identified a large DVA draining
the basal ganglia, thalamus, and surrounding deep white matter in the left side.
Conclusion: A DVA may contribute to the prominent asymmetrical manifestation in our patient, in
combination with symmetrical dopaminergic loss from neurodegenerative Parkinsonian syndrome. A
marked asymmetry in patients with signs of atypical Parkinsonism can be a clue for further imaging
investigation to exclude superimposed structural lesions such as DVAs.

The intravenous administration of midazolam is widely used as sedative premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. We performed a study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of midazoiam as premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Between June 1995 and October 1995, 112 patients of diagnostic esophago-gastroduodenoseopy were enrolled in the study. The patients were recieved a bolus midazolam 0.~03mg/kg or placebo, followed by typical anesthesia. The blood pressure, pulse and oximeter values were monitored. The systolic blood pressure and heart rate were increased during endoscopy in compared with before premedication, and normalized immediately. There was no significant change of arterial oxygen saturation. Midazolam induced amnesia completely in 49.2% and partially in 27.2%, and all patients were recovered completely in 1 hour. The tolerance score is higher in the midazolam group as compared with the placebo group(p<0.05), and midazolam group would accept the same sedation for repeated endoscopies(p<0.01). We conclude that midazolam has beneficial effects as premedication for upper gastrointastinal endoscopy without significant altteration in cardiopulmonary parameters. This suggest that midazolam may be used more frequently as premedication, especially in the cases of repeated endoscopy.
