Coarctation of aorta, a well known congenital cardiovascular defect, can be recognized in the most instances by simple finding of physical examination. This condition shortens life if untreated, but it can be corrected surgically to render the patient functionally normal. It seems relatively rare in Asian. During Six-Year period from January, 1982 through June, 1988, twenty four consecutive operations for the coarctation of the aorta were performed at Yonsei Medical Center. The patients included 14 males and 10 females in the range, 2 months and 34 years old. Associated Cardiac anomalies were patient ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, mitral valve regurgitation, aortic stenosis, double outlet right ventricle, corrected transposition of great vessel, etc. The preoperative main symptoms were frequent URI and dyspnea. Congestive heart failure was the most common symptom at the group younger than 2 year olds. Operative techniques for the coarctation of the aorta were prosthetic patch aortoplasty in 18 patients, resection & vascular graft interposition in 4, resection and end to-end anastomosis in 2. There was no operative death. Four patients had persistent or paradoxical hypertension, and one had postoperative paraplegia.

The clinical need for agents to modify immune response in the treatment of viral infection has lead to an increased interest in cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the immune response and to the development of a variety of biological and chemical substance with immunomodulatory activity. Inosiplex has shown antiviral activity in tissue culture, animal models and huamn studies through augmentation of immune response. However, the effect of inosiplex on immune response in animal has not been extensively analyzed, and the effect of inosiplex on immune response has been paradoxical depending on the time of administration of inosiplex in relation to that of antigen. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the effect of inosiplex on the immune response to sheep red blood cells(SRBC) in normal and viral infected mice. Inosiplex increased cellular immune response and plaque forming lymphocyte response to SRBC, decreased the recovery of S. typhimurium from infected mice spleen, and restored the depressed cellular immune response by measle and newcastle disease virus infections. All of the above results were observed only when inosiplex was given after immunization but did not when given before immunization. These results indicate that inosiplex stimulate the efferent are of immune response and may even block the afferent are, and suggest that inosiplex is a very promising drug in therapy of many viral infections.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas(PAVFs) is a rare disorder that occurs in two to three children per 100,000 population. It is presented as absence of intervening capillary beds between the pulmonary artery and vein with resultant persistent right to left shunt. Other causes include trauma, liver cirrhosis, malignancy and schistosomiasis. It is mostly asymptomatic, but it may present with respiratory difficulty, cyanosis, clubbed fingers induced by right to left shunt or hemoptysis, polycythemia and epistaxis. Major complications, such as brain abscess, brain embolism, paradoxical embolism and subacute infective endocarditis can be devastating, so therapeutic intervention is recommended in all patients. However, removal of low-resistance fistulas can aggrevate pulmonary hypertension, so detection of increased pulmonary pressure is important. We report two patients : One a 42 year-old male with PAVFs treated with coil embolization, and a 42 year-old female who was treated with anticoagulants due to pulmonary hypertension.

This is a report of 3 cases of tumors, which primarily originated from ribs and the sternum. In the first case of multiple myeloma, the patient was 67 year old male with a tumor located on the middle sternum invading the manubrium and the body of the sternum manifesting symptoms after a contusion of the anterior sternum. The sternum was entirely resected and was replaced by tantalum plate to reconstruct the defective chest wall in order to prevent the paradoxical movement during respiration. In the second case of osteogenic sarcoma, the patient was 43 year old male with a tumor located on the costochondral junction of the left 5th rib for 6 months. The left 5th rib was resected between the middle part and sternochondral junction of it including tumor and adjacent soft tissues. In the third case of chondrosarcoma, the patient was 36 year old male with a tumor located near the posterior angles of the right 7th and 8th ribs manifesting back pain on the area where the tumor was located. Resection of right lower lobe was performed since direct invasion of tumor was seen in the superior segment of right lower lobe. This was followed by the resection of both 7th and 8th ribs at the area between the costovertebral junction and the portion 10 em apart from the tumor including the tumor and intercostal soft tissues. Diagnoses of 3 cases of tumors described above were confirmed by histopathologic examination postoperatively. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

Ventricular aneurysm which was first described by John Hunter on 18th century, has been experienced by many surgeons after successful using of cardiopulmonary bypass by Cooley on 1958. According to Gorlin, the definition of ventricular aneyrysm is portion of the ventricle which is not motile at systole (akinesis) or which has paradoxical dilatation at systole(dyskinesis). The ventricular aneurysm is classified to anatomical and functional. The anatomical ventricular aneurysm is devided into true or false again. Average age incidence is ranged from 49 to 60 and male predominance is reported. The cause is ischemic coronary artery disease in almost cases but hypertropoc cardiomyopathy, congenital abscence of myocardium, complication after mitral valvular replacement and trauma may also cause the ventricular aneurysm. Angina pectoris and congestive heart failure are most common clinical manifestations Ventricular tachycardia and systemic embolization are also complained. Using cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy alone or combination with coronary artery revasculization are currently done for surgical treatment with steady improvenment of mortality. The first patient was 33 years old man who had true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall the left ventricle near apex with protruded huge organized thrombus. The thromboembolic phenomenon was noted on both lower extremities. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy and thrombectomy were done. The aneurysmal orifice was repaired with Teflon buttless suture. The second patient was 30 years old female who had large true type of ventricular aneurysm on inferior wall of the left ventricle. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, aneurysmectomy with repair of aneurysmmal orifice defect by means of double layered Dacron patch was done with reinforce by outer silastic sheet covering. She was discharged from hospoital at post op. 15th day uneventfully.

The purpose of study is explaining the Historicism as a result of compromise, historical eclecticism, between historical things and current cultural background instead of regarding it as an imitation from the past. It means that external factors in history help internal esthetic value surface out as costume. Fashion s history is more than the classified thing according to the appearance with the changes of the times. Intrinsic cultural elements should be added in creating new fashion. One of the different features between Modernism and Post-modernism. When coming to the period of Post-modernism, it connected with the historical factors to make something new by fragmenting, magnifying, or minimizing them. This is calles 'Historicism'in the world of art. It revived the past, not the past itself, in new ways : quotation, reuse, metaphor, and mixture. To represent the image, parody, pastiche, or bricolage was usually used. In post-modernism fashion, parody is a technique for imitating the past or the preceding forms with artists'own critical points of view. This technique gives us shock or surprise by using satirical, ironical or paradoxical expressions. pastiche shares the same part with parody in imitating particular or unique style, and it can be renamed empty parody, because it doesn't have any hidden motivation or satirical impulse. bricolage is a mixture of quotations from other works. It contains fragments that deepen the image. Like the techniques uttered above, the revival of history through parody, pastiche or bricolage is historical eclecticism and it is included in Historicism.

Privacy paradox is a paradoxical behavior that provides personal information even though you are concerned about privacy. Social media users are also often concerned about their personal information exposure. It is even reluctant to describe personal information in profile. However, some users describe their personal information in detail on their profile, provide it freely when others request it, or post their own personal information. The survey was conducted using Google Docs centered on Facebook users. Structural equation model analysis was used for hypothesis testing. As an independent variable, we use personal information infringement experiences. As a mediator, we use privacy indifference, privacy concern, and the relationship with the act of providing personal information. Social media users have become increasingly aware of the fact that they can not distinguish between the real world and online world by strengthening their image and enhancing their image in the process of strengthening ties, sharing lots of information and enjoying themselves through various relationships. Therefore, despite the high degree of privacy indifference and high degree of privacy concern, the phenomenon of privacy paradox is also present in social media.

Many statistics, such as Cohen's (1960) ${\kappa}$, Scott's (1955) ${\pi}$, and Park and Park's (2007) H have been proposed as measures of agreement to represent inter-rater reliability. This study compared bias, SE, MSE, and CV of the measures of agreement with nominal and ordinal categories in the balanced marginal distributions, and those with nominal categories in the two paradoxical situations. As a result, in all cases, AC1and Hhad smaller SE and CV.

We report the case of a 43-year-old male with both giant left atrial appendage (LAA) aneurysm and drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). The patient was treated with percutaneous electrical isolation of cardiac arrhythmogenic substrate, and has been free of AF symptom over one year. Although the surgical resection of giant LAA aneurysm is mostly used to prevent systemic thromboembolism, we have performed follow-up of the giant LAA aneurysm using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) after the successful catheter ablation of refractory AF. At one-year follow-up CMR, the giant LAA aneurysm showed remarkable enlargement as well as decreased contractility. Additionally, one-year follow-up TEE showed spontaneous echo contrast as an indicator of blood stasis in the giant LAA aneurysm. Those findings of giant LAA aneurysm suggest that the risk of thromboembolism may be high despite termination of AF.

In contemporary society, heterotopia is the law dominates thoughts and is the concept reconstituted spaces calls order in chaos. And that is the place which refuses the paradoxical and social custom and sometimes poses a danger and rise in rebel. The purpose of this study is to study how forms of clothing fluid form images are expressed in modern fashion develop body around in the spatial relationship between the body and its environment. The study method consider changed characterastics of fluid space through the heterotopia thinking system of Foucault Michel. Based on this method, the heterotopia space that appeared in the plastic arts in aspects of artistic significance and aesthetic value was examined. Based on the above discussion on modern fashion Fluid Form were expressed in any formative characteristics were considered. The results of this study are as follows. Fluidity is the transformed interaction. It expanded external representation of organic body structure and reconstructed flexible forms of dynamic structures continuously. Transformation is the new space structure. It constructed invisible transformation and developed convertible dress space by combining a variety of functional overlap and fold. Deconstruction was expressed structural forms, expanding the existing forms in the open structure which have ambiguous boundaries.
