Ventricular septal defect associated with patent ductus arteriosus is well known cardiac anomaly that can be treated successfully by operation. This anomaly is found at low frequency. Seven cases of the combined malformation were operated on during the period from 1959 to 1978 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. Right heart catheterization and retrograde aortogram can diagnose the disease correctly. Staged operation in one case and one-stage operation in 5 patients were done. In all cases of the open heart surgery the closure of the ductus was done by transpulmonary suture of the PDA opening. Among 6 patients of the open heart surgery 2 operative death [33.3%] and one late death [total 50%] were noted. Four type II and one type I and one Type IV VSDs were found. In one case the anomaly was accompanied with aortic insufficiency by herniation of the right coronary cusp through Type I VSD.

The transformer is expected to be an essential component of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for both the increase of its voltage ratings and the simultaneous quench due to different critical current between high-$T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) elements comprising the SFCL. However, in order to perform the effective current limiting operation of the SFCL, the design for the SFCL considering the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core is required. In this paper, the influence of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core comprising the transformer type SFCL on its current limiting characteristics was investigated. Through the comparative analysis on the hysteresis curves due to the ratio of the turn number between the 1st and the 2nd windings of the transformer, the proper design condition for the ratio of the turn number to achieve the effective current limiting operation of the transformer type SFCL could be obtained.

In this paper was proposed a flux offset-type fault current limiter as means of reducing fault currents. To secure the operation reliability of a flux offset-type fault current limiter, constructed a simulation system to analyze its operation characteristics by generating a double line-to-line fault. According to the test results, the system performed stably without any impedance. However, when an accident occurred, the flux-offset of magnetic was not occurred. Because of this, any impedance occurred at circuit. It was confirmed that the impedance was low and fast to limit the fault current. At this time, the fault current limited rate was about 95%.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm is a life threatening condition which necessitates prompt diagnosis and management. Between January 1987 and September 1993,58 patients was admitted to our department. Mean age at admission was 53 years.[range 25-82]. Clinical findings included chest pain in 48 cases[83%],renal failure in 12[20%],aortic insufficiency in 11[19%] and stroke in 9[15%]. Predisposing factors were hypertension in 50 cases[86%],Marfan`s syndrome in 6[10%] and diabetes melitus in 1 [2%]. 23 patients[ type A 13,type B 10 ] underwent surgical treatment. Surgical technique for type A included graft replacement of ascending aorta in 7 cases,graft replacement and aortic valve resuspension in 3,and Bentall`s operation in 3 cases. Type B patients were operated when specific indications applied. There were three [Two in type A and 1 in type B] deaths in the operation group and nine [ 5 in type A and 4 in type B] deaths in the medical group. These results support our current policy in the treatment of dissecting aortic aneurysm.

A 8 year old male was admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital on June 22, 1978. The chief complaints were cyanosis and exertional dyspnea since at birth. EKG shows BVH and dextrocardia, phonocardiogram revealed the accentuation of second heart sound in aortic area. Echocardiogram from the left ventricle to the base of the heart, there is a discontinuity between the ventricular septum and the anterior aortic margin with a large aortic root & aortic overriding. His cardiac catheterization data and cardiac angiogram shows situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, right aortic arch, large ventricular septal defect etc., and finally diagnosed Truncus Arteriosus. Edwards type IV with retrograde aortogram and selective bronchial angiogram. This is the first operative case reported as Rastelli operation for Truncus Arteriosus type IV in the literatures in Korea. Authors have experienced I case of Truncus Arteriosus, Edward type IV and Rastelli operation with Dacron Arterial Conduit Graft under cardiopulmonary bypass on July 3, 1978. The procedures were as follows; 2] Cardiopulmonary bypass: Origin of bronchial arteries excised from descending aorta bilaterally; defects in aorta closed. 2] Horizontal incision made high in right ventricle. 2] Ventricular septal defect [Kirklin type I+II] closed with Teflon patch. 4] Bifurcated dacron arterial graft with pericardial monocusp sutured to the bilateral pulmonary arteries. [Diameter 9 mm: Length 7 cm]. 5] Proximal end of the conduit graft anastomosed to right ventricle. [Diameter 19 mm: Length 5 cm]..Total perfusion time was 220 min. The result of operation was poor due to anastomotic leakage and increased pulmonary vascular resistance resulting acute right heart failure. The patient was died on the operation table. Literatures were briefly reviewed.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of polyphosphate on healing of skin wound in rabbits. Four skin wounds of 8mm in diameter were induced bilaterally(4 wounds/rabbit) on the dorsolateral aspect of the trunk of 15 male New Zealand white rabbits. Ten percent polyphosphate(poly P) type 25, 10% poly P type 35, 10% poly P type 25+10% poly P type 35 and 0.85% sterile saline solution were applied on the wound area and examined grossly and histopathologically. The rate of wound contraction and histopathological changes after poly P application on the skin wound were investigated. In gross findings, the wound contraction rates of 10% poly P 25 group were significantly decreased from day 2 to day 7 after operation than those of 0.85% sterile saline solution treated group (p < 0.01). Although the hemorrhage and inflammation were observed on days 3, 6 and 9 after operation in all groups, but in 10% poly P 25 was gradually decreased. Revascularization and reepithelialization were seen 3, 6 and 9 days after operation in all groups, especially in 10% poly P 25 was formed completely on 9 days. Fibroplasia were seen 3. 6 and 9 days after operation in all groups, especially in 10% poly P 25 was compact than other groups on 9 days. The results suggested that polyphosphate, especially 10% poly P 25 would be effective on healing of skin wound in rabbits through decrease of would contraction rate, increase of revascularization, reepithelialization and fibroplasia.

Background: Nasal fractures have a tendency of resulting in structural or functional complications, and the results can vary according to the type of nasal bone fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the objective postoperative results according to the type of nasal bone fractures. Methods: We reviewed 313 patients who had a closed reduction of nasal bone fracture. The classification of nasal bone fracture by Stranc and Robertson was used to characterize the fracture type: frontal impact group type I (FI), frontal impact group type II (FII), lateral impact group type I (LI), lateral impact group type II (LII), and comminuted fracture group (C). For each patient, we tried to use the same axial image section of computed tomographic (CT) scans before and immediately after operation. Postoperative outcomes were classified into 4 grades: excellent (E), good (G), fair (F), and poor (P). We also analyzed postoperative complications by fracture type. Results: Regarding the postoperative CT images, 189 subjects showed E results, 99 subjects showed G, 18 subjects showed F, and 7 subjects showed P reduction. The rate of operation results graded as E by each fracture type was 66.67% in FI, 52.0% in FII, 64.21% in LI, 62.79% in LII, and 21.74% in C. Complications of FI (7.14%), LII (13.95%), and C (13.04%) groups occurred more than in the FII (4.00%) and LI (4.21%) groups. Conclusion: It seems that the operation result by fracture type was better in the FI, LI, and LII type than the FII and C type; after one month, however, LII type showed more complications than other types. The septal fracture can be thought to affect early reduction results in nasal bone fractures.

Wolsong NPP are CANDU6 type reactors and there are 4 CANDU6 type reactors in commercial operation. CANDU type reactors require on-power refuelling by two remote controlled F/Ms (Fuelling Machines). Most of channels, fuel bundles are float by channel coolant flow and move toward downstream, however in about 30% of channels the coolant flow are not sufficient enough to carry fuel bundles to downstream. For those channels a special device, FARE (Flow Assist Ram Extension) device, is used to create additional force to push fuel bundles. It has been showing that during fuelling operation of some channels the channel coolant flow rate is reduced below specified limit (80% of normal), and consequently trip alarm signal turns on. This phenomenon occurs on selected channels that are instrumented for the channel flow and required to use the FARE device for refuelling. Hence it is believed that the FARE device causes the problem. It is also suspected that other channels that do not use the FARE device for refuelling might also go into channel flow low state. The analysis revealed that the channel How low occurs as the FARE device is introduced into the core and disappears as the FARE device is removed from the core. This paper presented the FARE device behavior, detailed fuelling operation sequence with the FARE device and effect on channel flow low phenomena. The FARE device components design changes are also suggested, such as increasing the number or now holes in the tube and flow slots in the ring orifice.
