To evaluate the college students' health status, the author distributed C.M.I. to 233 college students consisting of 102 males and 131 females who randomly selected from a college in seoul. The conclusion are as follow: 1. The mean of CMI scores for the male students was 32.84 and that for the female students was 43.25. Statistical significant difference was observed between the mean of CMI scores for male students and that for female students. 2. For male students, The CMI mean scores for the day students was 29.46 and for evening students was 35.85. There was no statistical significant difference the day students and that for the evening students. 3. For female students, the mean of CMI scores for day students was 42.40 and that for the evening students was 44.64. But there was no statistical significant difference between the mean CMI scores for the day students and that for the evening students. 4. In both female and male groups, the affirmative response rate of inadequacy, fatigability and eyes and ears are higher than any of the other items. 5. In comparing the CMI items of male students and female students, the significant differences cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, skin, nervous system, genitourinary system, fatigability, habits, inadequacy, depression and tension. The mean scores for female students, with the exception of habits, were higher than those for male students. 6. In comparing the CMI items of male day students and male evening students, there was significant difference in the items of the cardiovascular system, digestive tract, skin, genitourinary system, inadequacy, and anger : the mean scores of evening male students were higher than those of day students. 7. In the case of female students, the CMI mean scores of the evening students in the categories eyes and ears, cardiovascular system, digestive tract, musculoskeletal system, skin, genitourinary system, fatigability, inadequacy, depression, anxiety, and sensitivity were higher scores than those of the day students. However, the were no significant difference between both groups except in the cathgory of habits. 8. The frequency rate of neurotic students, who were identified by fukamachi's classification, were 12.5% in the day male students, 18.6% in th evening male students, 13.6% in the day female students, and 18.0% in the evening female students.

In 1989, We experienced 2 cases of T.A.P.V.D. corrected successfully under cardiopulmonary bypass. The first case was 27 years old male with mild dyspnea on exertion and easy fatigability. All clinical symptoms, physical examinations, laboratory findings, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization and angiogram revealed supracardiac type T.A.P.V.D. drained through left innominate vein. Operation was done by manner of modified Schumacker procedure. The other case was 6 years old male with cardiac type drained to right atrium through coronary sinus. Two patients were well in postoperative 15 and 8 months.

We experienced one case of TAPVC patient who was 39 years old man with mild dyspnea on exertion and easy fatigability. He was the oldest patient among TAPVC which was reported in Korea. Preoperative echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization and angiogram revealed supracardiac type TAPVC drained through left innominate vein. An anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, pericardial patch closure of ASD and ligation of left vertical vein were performed with extracorporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition and has been well during 8 months follow-up.

The characteristic features of myasthenia gravis, which are weakness of voluntary muscle and easy fatigability, result from defective neuromuscular transmission caused by an autoimmune response to acetylcholine receptor. Recently, we performed two cases of thymectomy for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, one was 50 year old man who had malignant thymoma and the other was 19 year old girl who had benign thymic hyperplasia. The former had long duration of symptoms, and showed poor postoperative result. The latter had short duration of symptoms, and showed complete remission. Herewith, we suggest that early thymectomy can give the clinical assets for myasthenia gravis. So we report these two experiences with review of literatures.

Commercial lower limb prostheses or orthotics help patients achieve a normal life. However, patients who use such aids need prolonged training to achieve a normal gait, and their fatigability increases. To improve patient comfort, this study proposed a method of predicting gait angle using neural networks and EMG signals. Experimental results using our method show that the absolute average error of the estimated gait angles is $0.25^{\circ}$. This performance data used reference input from a controller for the lower limb orthotic or prosthesis controllers while the patients were walking.

Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder manifested by fatigability and weakness of voluntary muscles. The basic defect in the myasthenia is reduction of available acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscuiar junctions by an autoimmune attack. Removal of the thymus gland now play an Important role in the management of this disease. We have two experiences of thymectomy for myasthenic patients. The 31-year-old housewife(J.H) was admitted to the Taegu Presbyterian Medical Center because of bilateral ptosis, mastication and swallowing difficulties. The presence of thymoma was strongly suggested by roentgenographic studies. A 99.8 gm thymoma was removed completely by total thymectomy. On the 2nd postoperative day respiratory failure developed. Tracheostomy was performed and ventilatory assist was given for 3 days. The patient was completely recovered with antichollestrase drug only. C.N. was 17-year-old girl who has the symptoms of bilateral ptosis and diplopia for 3 years. Tensilon test was positive and antichollnestrase was given for several months, but the patient showed no improvement. After thymectomy she was free from myasthenic symptoms with out anticholinestrase drug.

Ebstein`s anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac malformation and characterized by downward displacement of an abnormal tricuspid valve cusps. But until now, the ideal surgical correction is still controversial. We present a case of Ebstein`s anomaly experienced lately. The patient was 13 year old girl with the complaints of dyspnea on exertion, fatigability and cyanosis. Echocardiography revealed downward displacement of septal leaflet of tricuspid valve and atrialized right ventricle. Cardiac catheterization and cineangiography revealed ASD and large right atrium. During operation, the atrialized right ventricle was plicated and tricuspid annuloplasty was done. And the two secundum type ASD`s were closed by direct suture closure. The patient`s postoperative course was uneventful and discharged on the 24th postoperative days.

The paper will present chip formation mechanism and surface integrity generation mechanism based on the systematical experimental tests. Some basic factors such as the end milling cutter tooth number, cutting forces, cutting temperature, cutting vibration, the chip status, the surface roughness, the hardness distribution and the metallographic texture of the machined surface layer are involved. the chip formation mechanism is typical thermal plastic shear localization at high cutting speed with less number og shear ribbons and bigger shear angle than at low speed, which means lack of chip deformation. The high cutting speed with much more cutting teeth will be beneficial to the reduction of cutting forces, enlarge machining stability region, depression of temperature increment, auti-fatigability as well as surface roughness. The burrs always exists both at low cutting speed and at high cutting speed. So the deburr process should be arranged for milling titanium alloy in any case.
