Six cases of congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulae were diagnosed radiographically and confirmed afteroperation at Seoul National University Hospital in recent three and a quarter years since 1979. The clinical andradiological findings with the emphasis on the cinecardiographic findings were analysed. The summaries of theanalysis are as follows; 1. Among 6 cases, 2 cases were male and 4 cases were female. Age dsitribution was from 3months to 19 years. 2. In chest x-ray findings, 5 cases had cardiomegaly. Among these 5 cases, increase ofpulmonary vascularity was in 3 cases. Chest X-ray finding of the rest 1 case was within normal limit. 3. Thecoronary arteriovenous fistula orginated from the right coronary artery in 5 cases and from the single left coronary artery in 1 case. In 5 cases, a coronary arteriovenous fistula drained into the right ventricle and in 1case, a fistula from a SA node branch of the right coronary artery into the right atrium. 4. In 5 cases, a mainright coronary artery was dilated. Among these 5 cases, aneurysmal dilatation of main right coronary artery was in2 cases, saccular aneurysmal dilatation of distal portion of right coronary artery was in 2 cases and in 1 case,diffuse dilatation without aneurysm formation of a main right coronary artery. In 1 case, SA node branch of theright coronary artery was dilated with aneurysm formation. 5. For accurate diagnosis of congenital coronaryarteriovenous fistula, biplane cinecardiography is an essential procedure.

We evaluated the accuracy of a noninvasive method for estimating right ventricular systolic pressures in patients with atrial septal defect and tricuspid regurgitation defected by two-dimensional and Doppler ultrasound. Of 54 patients with atrial septal defect, 24(44%) had jets of tricuspid regurgitation. By use of the maximum velocity(V) of the regurgitatant jet recorded by continuous wave Doppler ultrasound and the Bernoulli equation, we predicted right ventricular systolic pressure(RVP) calculated by the equation of RVP=4V2+10 proposed by Tei et al.The values correlated well with catheterization values(r=0.851, standerd error of estimate=4mmHg). In addition the relation between the Lt to Rt shunt amount and the severity of tricuspid regurgitation was assessed. The severity of tricuspid regurgitation graded on a four-pointscali by pulsed Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography correlated with Qp/Qs ratio calculated by the Fick's method(p<0.05).

Chondroblastoma is a rare primary bone tumor which originates from cartilage, and represents approximate 1% af all bone tumor. The chondroblastoma arises most frequently from the epiphysis of the long bones with the humerus being the commonest site. It afflicts usually the young under 25 years with greater incidence in male. As there is no cartilage cell on craniofacial bone which is mainly fromed by intramembranous ossification, the chondroblastoma on the craniofacial bone is extremely rare. But the chondroblastoma recurred frequently in craniofacial bone when the mass is excised incompletely or curretted and, as the tumor has the outstanding ability of local invasiveness, it destructs the adjacent bone. In addition, it is difficult to diagnose differentially from sarcoma or giant cell tumor histopathologically. Due to the entities described above, it is necessary to remove the entire tumor mass as complete as possible, to treat with radiation pre or postoperatively for preventing from recurrence, and to observe for a long time. The chondroblastoma on temporal bone is rare and is difficult to diagnose and treat successfully. So we'd like to present a case of chondroblastoma which was originated from temporal side of TMJ with literatural review.

4.Hand-held Laser Interferometric Prediction of Postoperative Visual Acuity in Cataractous Eye.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1996;37(10):1642-1647
The visual acuity measured preoperatively by hand-held laser interferometer was compared to the visual acuity measured postoperatively by Han s visual acuity in 86 cataractous eyes treated by phacoemulsification with posterior chamber IOL insertion in order to get the prediction of postoperatively corrected visual acuity. The follow up period was at least 4 weeks. In the 56 cases with immature cataract and normal retina, the postoperative visual acuity was predictable within 2 lines in 52 eyes (92.8%). In 20 eyes with mature cataract including nuclear sclerosis, postoperative Han's visual acuity was predictable within 2 lines in 7 eyes (35%), and one patient showed positive disparity. In 15 eyes with retinopathy, 10 eyes (66.7%) showed positive disparity and 3 eyes (20%) showed negative disparity. We concluded that the hand-held laser interferometer is a reliable method to predict the postoperative visual acuity in immature cataract with normal retina.

5.Long-term follow-up of Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1996;37(10):1583-1589
Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy(CDCR) with a Pyrex tube is an accepted procedure for the treatment of epiphora resulting from obstructed canaliculi. We analyzed the success rate, complications and it's treatment of 181 eyes who underwent CDCR with a Pyrex tube at Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital between september 1986 and march 1996. Straight tubes, 18mm long(70 of 181 eyes; 38.7%) was most commonly used. Of 181 eyes, 172 eyes(95%) were successful. Complications of CDCR included submergence of Pyrex tube (13 of 181 eyes; 7.2%), tube extrusion(9 of 181 eyes; 4.9%), tube extraction(5 of 181 eyes; 8.9%). Of the 9 eyes of tube extraction, 7 eyes were 20mm in length, and the exchange of 20mm for 18mm was performed under topical anesthesia and two eyes, 18mm in length were replaced by 16mm in length. It was successful in 3 eyes but 6 eyes were dissatisfied because of residual tearing. In 13 eyes of tube submergence, tubes were sutured with 5-0 nylon to the skin of medial canthus and was successful in 10 eyes but was failed in 3 eyes. Of 181 eyes, 5 eyes(2.8%) lost their tube. 4 patients came for treatment 24 hours after tube loss and 1 patients came for treatment 72 hours after tube loss. A simple tube reinsertion was successful in all cases. Other complications were granuloma formation(16 of 181 eyes; 8.8%), conjunctival growth over the tube opening(8 of 181 eyes; 4.4%) and infection (5 of 181 eyes; 2.8%). Granuloma recurred two times in 4 eyes, three times in 2 eyes, four times in 1 eyes and was resected effectively each time under topical anesthesia. Conjunctival overgrowth was treated with conjunctival resection and tube manipulation. The infection resolved completely on consecutive treatment with topical and oral antibiotics.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The purpose of this study was to investigate the HAV vaccination status and related factors among college students. METHODS: The study subjects were 503 students conveniently sampled from C university located in one district of Jeollanamdo. General characteristics and HAV vaccination related factors were collected by a self-reported questionnaire in October 2013. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate related factors with HAV vaccination. RESULTS: Of the 503 subjects without a history of HAV infection, 65 subjects (12.9%) reported that they were vaccinated. In multiple analyses, subjects who have had health screening (adjusted odds ratio, aOR=2.44 and 95% confidence interval, 95% CI=1.26-4.73) and those who were aware of HAV infection (aOR=6.00, 95% CI=1.81-19.91) or who perceived the benefits of HAV vaccine (aOR=2.05, 95% CI=1.07-3.93) were more likely to be vaccinated than those not involved in these factors. With regard to intention for HAV vaccine, 314 subjects (71.9%) reported that they have the intention to be vaccinated against HAV. In multiple analyses, higher grade level, high monthly allowance, awareness of HAV vaccine, perceived susceptibility of HAV, perceived seriousness of HAV and perceived benefits of HAV vaccine were significantly associated with the intention for HAV vaccination. CONCLUSIONS: The vaccination rate for HAV was found to be low in our sample of college students. To reduce health risks related with HAV, prevention efforts should consider these results.

BACKGROUND: Trisomy 16 in mice is considered to be an animal model for Down's syndrome in human. We studied the morphologic characteristics of the heart and the edema, and their significance to the teratogenesis in this animal model. METHODS: A total of 30 dams were sacrificed to bear 125 (61.9%) normal fetuses 35 (17.3%) abnormal fetuses and 42 (20.8%) resorptions. Cytogenetic study and morphological examination were performed using microdissection agar-mount sectioning histologic examination and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: The crown-rump length was significantly shorter in abnormal (trisomic fetuses) than the normal (eusomic) fetuses. Trisomic fetuses showed massive edema at the back from the vertex to the lumbar area. Four-chamber view section of the agar-mount and histologic section showed a common atrioventricular valve bridging the left and the right atrioventricular junction. Scanning electron microscopic examination on atrioventricular valves showed three types of atrioventricular valves:five cases with common atrioventricular orifice, three cases with partitioned atrioventricular orifice and two cases with atresia of the right atrioventricular orifice. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the presence of massive edema and cardiac anomalies in the mouse with trisomy 16. But there was morphologic diversity of cardiac anomaly in this model.

We herein describe a case of a 55-year-old healthy woman with localized primary thymic amyloidosis presented as a mediastinal mass, found incidentally by chest radiography. Computed tomography revealed a 4.1 cm soft tissue lesion with nodular calcification in the left anterior mediastinum. The resected specimen was a well-defined lobulating mass with calcification. Microscopically, the mass was consisted of amorphous eosinophilc hyalinized substances involving the thymus and intrathymic lymph nodes. These eosinophilic substances showed apple-green bi-refringence under polarized light after staining with Congo red. In immunohistochemical study, they were positive for kappa and lambda light chains and negative for amyloid A. There was no evidence of systemic amyloidosis in clinical investigations. A final diagnosis of localized primary thymic amyloidosis was made.
