CKP isoenzymes have a high level of efficaciousness as diagnostic and prognostic aids in various diseases. There is not any report on the total activity of CPK of non-human primates, let alone CPK isoenzyme patterns, in Korea. In this study, total activities and isoenzyme patterns of CPK were measured to obtain their reference values in domestically reared common marmosets, crab-eating macaques and Japanese macaques. We observed remarkable different values of serum total CPK from the primates used in this experiment. Serum CPK activities of Japanese macaques and crab-eating macaques were 275.8$\pm$158.1 IU/l and 396.7$\pm$697.4 IU/l, respectively, whereas those of common marmosets showed much higher value of 618.8$\pm$1,117.6 IU/l. In all common marmosets and crab-eating macaques, only CPK$_3$ ws observed. In five out of eight Japanese macaques, CPK$_3$ was the sole fraction but two animals showed CPK$_1$ and CPK$_3$ isoenzymes, and the remaining one had CPK$_2$ and CPK$_3$ fractions. There were some discrepancies in the pattern and ratio of isoenzyme fractions in Japanese macaques. In conclusion, values such as CPK and CPK isoenzyme patterns of investigated for the first time form non-human primates reared in Korea, could be reference values for the optimal diagnosis and therapy diseases of the corresponding animal species.

In order to clarify the significance of serum CPK for the diagnosis of the cardiac disease in ruminant, the fluctuation of serum total CPK activities and CPK isoenzyme fractions was examined before and after operation in Korean native goats with artificially induced cardiac injury. In the change of serum total CPK activities, those of experimental group were changed with higher values than those of control group and significant increase was found on 2-week after operation(P<0.05). In the fluctuation of serum CPK isoenzyme fractions, significant increase of both CK1 and CK3 fractions was observed on 2-week after operation in experimental group(P<0.05), but significant difference was not found in CK2 fraction between experimental and control groups. From these findings, it is considered that taking note of increase of not only serum total CPK activities but also CK1 and CK3 fractions is important for the diagnosis of traumatic cardiac disease in ruminant.

A analysis of CPK & LDH Isoenzyme was done on the consecutive patients undergoing thoracic operations from July 1982 to October 1982 in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital. Eighteen patients were analysed by three groups, such as open heart surgery [group A], major thoracic operation [group B] , minor thoracic operation group [group C]. In all patients serial determination of total level and Isoenzyme of CPK, LDH wad done on preoperative operative and up to 8th post-operative day, The results obtained are as follows. 1. The average value of serum CPK before the operation was 61 IU/L. The value of serum CPK was increased following the operation mainly MM portion and reached to the maximal level of 536107 IU/L in A group 1200191 IU/L in B group, 306150 IU/L in C group on the first postoperative day. The enzyme activity was gradually decreased thereafter and returned to the normal range on the 3rd or 4th day after the operation. 2. The average value of serum LDH before the operation was found to be 83 IU/L. The value was increased during the operation and reached to the maximal level of 481108 IU/L in group A, 14827 I U/L in group B, 10035 IU/L in group C on the second day after the operation. The enzyme activity was gradually decreased thereafter and returned to the normal range on the seventh day after the operation. The enzyme activity was dependent to the duration of operation, severity of muscle damage, type of thoracotomy, effect of extracorporeal circulation, state of disease.

This research was for investigating the physiological effect caused by genetic disorder and others. Serum protein, serum LDH, and serum CPK were analyzed on Fragile X syndrome patients, carriers, unclassified mental retardees, and Down's syndrome patients by cellulose acetate plate electrophoresis. Also enzyme activity of LDH and CPK were measured. Significant differences were observed between normal group and mental retardees in compositions of serum protein, serum LDH, serum CPK, and enzyme activities. Mean percentages of albumin were 53.70$\pm$7.73% for Fragile X syndrome patients, 57.09$\pm$7.73% for carriers, 47.33$\pm$6.06% for unclassified mental retardees, 50.19$\pm$ 15.72% for Down's syndrome patients. Mean percentages of ${\gamma}$-globulin were 19.64$\pm$6.71% for Fragile X syndrome patients, 19.24$\pm$3.38% for carries, 25.66$\pm$4.74 for unclassified mental retardees, 23.41$\pm$6.08% for Down's syndrome patients. Mean percentages of LDH3 were 27.76$\pm$2.72% for Fragile X syndrome patients, 22.70$\pm$2.76% for carriers, 25.42$\pm$1.26% for unclassified mental retardees, 27.72$\pm$2.58% for Down's syndrome patients. Mean percentages of LDH4 were 2.70$\pm$2.04 for Fragile X syndrome patients, 3.79$\pm$2.74% for carriers, so both of them were significantly lower than normal(P<0.05). Mean percentages of CK-MB were 3.96$\pm$5.56% for Fragile X syndrome patients, 8.80$\pm$7.92%. Mean percentages of CK-MM were 95.81$\pm$5.50% for Fragile X syndrome patients, 91.20$\pm$7.92% for carriers. These results showed that significant abnormal compositions of blood proteins might be caused by genetic disorder. However, further analysis of many patients will be needed for clear conclusion.

The efficacy of cold blood potassium cardioplegia during periods of ischemic arrest was assessed in 88 patients undergoing open heart surgical procedures at Chonnam National University Medical School from December, 1987 to January, 1989. The purpose of this study was to determine if the aortic cross clamping time[ACCT] over 120 minutes correlated with operative mortality, incidence of postoperative ventricular tachyarrhythmias, needs of postoperative inotropic support and serum enzyme levels. The patients were divided according to aortic cross clamping time[less than 120 minutes and 120 minutes or greater]. The results were as follows: 1. The operative mortality was 3.2% in ACCT<120min group and 7.7% in ACCT>120 min group. 2. The incidence of postoperative ventricular tachyarrhythmia was 1.6% in ACCT <120min group and 11.5% in ACCT>120min group[p<0.05]. 3. The incidence of postoperative inotropic support in congenital heart disease was 13.0Fo in ACCT<120min group and 45.0%o in ACCT>120min group[p<0.05]. The incidence in acquired heart disease was 26.0% in ACCT<120min group and 40.0% in ACCT> 120min group. 4. After cardiopulmonary bypass, serum GOT, LDH, CPK and CPK - MB were elevated prominently. Children showed higher value of the enzymes examined than adults did before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. In congenital heart diseases, postoperative serum GOT, LDH, CPK and CPK - MB levels of ACCT>120min group were significantly higher than those of ACCT<120min group. Postoperative serum GOT, LDH and CPK - MB levels of ACCT>=120min group were significantly higher than those of ACCT<120min group also in acquired heart diseases. The results suggest that the myocardial protective effect with cold blood potassium cardioplegic solutions was not sufficient when the aortic cross clamping time was over 120 minutes.
