허혈성 심질환 환자의 평가도구로서 MRI의 역할이 확대된 데에는 소위 "one-stop shop"이라는 통합적 심장검사법의 개발이 계기가 되었다. 즉 한 번의 MRI 검사로서 심실벽운동을 평가하여 심근의 기능과 예비능을 측정하여 만성 심근경색을 평가할 수 있고, 심근의 관류를 평가할 수 있고, 관동맥의 혈류 예비능과 심근의 viability를 평가하고, 관동맥 조영술을 통해, 수술 후의 우회로 평가 및 관동맥의 협착 여부의 진단이 가능한 프로토콜이 MRI장비마다 각각 개발되어 보급되고 있다. 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 개발과 지속적인 연구를 통해서 MRI는 허혈성 심질환의 진단적 검사로서 기존의 다른 검사들과 비교하여 높은 시간적, 공간적 해상력으로 정확한 구조와 기능의 평가를 제공할 수 있는 가장 유용한 검사가 될 것으로 사료된다 특히, MR 관동맥조영술, 심근관류검사, 심근 표지법, dobutamine 부하검사, viability 평가, plaque characterization, MR spectroscopy 분야에서 현재 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있으며 향후 임상적용이 확대될 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment on a cerebellar infarction patient suffering from vertigo, ataxia, and nausea. Methods: We treated the patient with herbal medicine (Cheonghunhwadam-tang), acupuncture, and physical therapy. Clinical symptoms were assessed with a numeral rating scale (NRS), the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), and Study Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results: After 24 days of treatment, the vertigo, ataxia, and nausea symptoms were all improved, and the NRS, DHI, and SF-36 scores showed improvement. Conclusion: This case shows that Korean medicine treatments were effective in alleviating the symptoms of cerebellar infarction.

Ventricular false aneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction We successfully operated on a case of left ventricular false aneurysm complicating a silent, undiagnosed myocardial infarction The patients, 64 year-old female, showed marked improvement in her congestive symptom after the operation and was discharged without any complication With its peculiar feature, i.e., propensity to rupture, in addition to the functionally harmful aspects shared with the true aneurysms, a false aneurysm must always be considered to be a surgical indication. Good results can be achieved by proper diagnosis and management with low operative risk.

Surgical treatments were performed in 765 patients of the esophageal diseases at National Medical Center from 1959 to 1982. During these periods, we experienced 945 cases of the esophageal diseases. There were 401 males and 364 females and ranging from 4 days to 76 years of age and mean age was 32.4 years. The most highest mortality noted as 23.0% in esophageal perforation cases. In esophageal strictures cases, the rate of surgical mortality was 5.4%[21/386]. The over all mortality in esophageal surgical cases was 10.8%. We want to expressed about the incidence of Corrosion Carcinoma which developed from the benign esophageal stricture as 2.2%[12/550] of total stricture and as 4.9%[12/241] of total esophageal carcinoma. And the esophagoscopic biopsy must be done who had long standing history of esophageal stricture as a preoperative evaluation purpose.

In a 53-year old male with post-infarction ventricular septal defect [VSD , owing to an acute exacerbation of pulmonary edema, respiratory failure developed, and the ventilatory support and intraaortic balloon counterpulsation [IABP were applied. At the following day, operation was performed with the aid of IABP. Under the cardioplumonary bypass, he underwent infarctectomy, trimming of VSD margin, patch closure of VSD and infarctectomy site. Left ventricular free wall rupture was detected during operation, which was confined with pericardial adhesion. Post-operative course was uneventful, and he could be discharged with minimal degree of dyspnea [NYHA class II .

Biatrial myxomas are extremely rare, and only two cases have been reported in Korea so far. We report a 60-year-old male patient with decreased mentality due to embolization from myxoma. In this case, two pedicles grew into both atrial chamber separately from the different origins at the atrial septum. The patient underwent emergency operation immediately after the diagnosis by an echocardiography.

심장질환과 혈관질환을 포함하는 심뇌혈관질환은 한국인 사망원인 1위이다. 대표적인 질환으로서의 뇌경색과 심근경색은 혈관이 막힌 후 6시간 이내에 뚫어주지 않으면 사망 또는 돌이킬 수 없는 상태에 이른다. 가족 중 이러한 환자가 있으면 환자가 사망할 때까지 수년간 환자 본인은 물론 가족 전체의 삶의 질이 크게 저하되며, 국내 심뇌혈관질환의 사회 경제적 비용은 5조 4천억원에 이른다. 따라서, 이와 같은 질환은 조기에 검출하는 것이 중요하다. 최근 경동맥 헐관벽 두께가 이러한 질환의 가능성과 상관성이 높다는 사실이 밝혀지면서 미국심장협회에서는 무증상이더라도 45세 이상이면 주기적으로 이 지표를 측정할 것을 권장함에 따라 이 분야의 연구가 전세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경동맥의 내막과 중막 두께가 이러한 질환의 위험인자와 어떠한 상관성을 갖는지 밝힘으로써 궁극적으로는 삶의 질을 향상시키고자 한다.

One and a half syndrome is an ipsilateral gaze paresis or palsy combined with an internuclear opthalmoplegia on controlateral gaze. The lesion site is at the paramedian pontine reticular formation and the adjacent MLF. The common causes are unilateral pontine infarction and multiple sclerosis. We experienced a case of one and a half syndrome which has a suspected small pontine infarct.
