인제대학교 부산백병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1985년 10월부터 1996년 7월까지 약 10년간 총 124례의 중복판막수술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 성별, 나이, 술전 X-선 심흉곽비, 심도자검사상의 평균폐동맥압, 술전 심장초음파 검사상 좌심실구출률, 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급, 치환한 판막의 수, 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간, 술후 중한 합병증 발생 및 조기사망 유무를 조사하고 수술후 조기성적에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하였다. 환자중 남자가 53례, 여자가 71례로 성비는 1:1.4 였으며, 술전 임상증상으로 NYHA 기능분류상 등급 I이 3명(2.4%), 등급 II가 41명(33.1%), 등급 III가 60명(48.4%), 등급 IV가 20명(16.1%)이었고 심전도검사상 술전 심방세동이 76명(61.3%), 술전 뇌색전증 병력이 5례(4.0%), 이전에 심장수술을 받은 경우가 7례(5.7%)였다. 술후 조기사망률은 8.1%, 술후 중한 합병증 발생율은 21.8%였다. 판막수술은 승모판막과 대동맥판막을 동시에 치환한 례(57례), 승모판막치환과 삼첨판륜성형술을 한 례(48례), 승모판막과 삼첨판막을 동시 치환한 례(2례), 그리고 승모판막치환과 대동맥판막성형술을 한 례(3례)등이 있었다. 수술후 조기 임상경과에 따라 사망례를 포함한 중한 합병증을 동반한 군(A군, 27례)과 특별한 문제가 없었던 군(B군, 97례)으로 분류하고, 또 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)으로 분류하여 각각의 분류군간에 통계적으로 유의한 위험인자들이 있는지 분석하였다. A군에서 발생한 중한 합병증은 저심박출증, 종격동염, 심장파열, 심실부정맥, 패혈증 등이었다. A군과 B군의 비교에서는 대동맥차단시간(A군:153.4$\pm$42.4분, B군:134.0$\pm$43.7, p=0.042), 총체외순환시간(A군:187.4$\pm$65.5분, B군:158.1$\pm$50.6분, p=0.038), 그리고 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:33.3%, II등급:9.7%, III등급:20.0%, IV등급:50.0%, p=0.004)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 술후 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)의 비교에서는 연령(사망군:45.2$\pm$8.7세, 생존군:37.2$\pm$11.6세, p=0.036), 성별(여자:12.7%, 남자:1.9%, p=0.043), 대동맥차단시간(사망군:167.1$\pm$38.4분, 생존군:135.7$\pm$43.7분 p=0.030), 그리고 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:0%, II등급:4.9%, III등급:1.7%, IV등급:35.0%, p=0.001)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이상으로 볼 때 NYHA 기능분류에서 술전의 임상상태가 중할수록 조기성적에 나쁜 영향을 미치므로 환자의 증상이 악화되기 전에 조기수술이 요망되며, 개선된 수술수기나 심근보호방법등으로 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간을 효율적으로 줄일수 있다면 중복판막수술후 조기성적을 향상시킬 것으로 사료된다.

Clinical experience of 21 patients with infective endocarditis was reviewed. Endocarditis involved the left-sided valve in 16 cases, the right-sided valve in 2, and PDA in the remaining 3 patients. Valve abnormalities included leaflet perforation in 9 patients, chordal rupture in 2,; annular abscess in 6; and aorticoleft atnal perforation in 2. Sixteen patients underwent valve replacement[aortic valve replacement in 7 patients, mitral replacement in 4 and double valve replacement in 5], two had VSD closure with pulmonary valve excision, three had ductus arteriousus closure. The patients were classified into two groups. I ] Healed endocarditis group: including the patients who had completed a planned cou-rseof antibiotic therapy[N=10], II ] Active endocarditis group: patients in which operations were performed prior to completetion of antibiotic treatment course[N=11]. The indications for operation included congestive heart failure, embolism, and persistent sepsis. Organisms were predominantly streptococcus[N=5] and staphylococcus [N=4] followed by candida, moraxella, and E-coli. By NYHA functional classification, all patients were in Class III or IV preoperatively. There was only one operative mortality in patient from group II. All patients substantially, improved postoperatively with NYHA classification in class I or II. This study shows that early surgical intervention in patients with active endocarditis has desirable outcome.

Among 25 consecutive cases having undergone mitral valve surgery between March 1991 and June 1992 in Gill General Hospital, 11 patients[44%] who had undergone mitral valve reconstruction using prosthetic rings is evaluated and presented. Patients` mean age is 43 + 19 years[range:16-72], and they are consisted with 4 males and 7 females. Mitral valve insufficiency is due to degenerative disease in 6 cases[55%] and rheumatic disease in 5 patients[45%]. Carpentier`s functional classification I is 2 cases, II is 6 cases, and III is 2 cases. Surgical techniques include prosthetic ring annuloplasty[11 patients, 100%], chorda shortening[6, 55%], leaflet mobilization[4,36%], new chorda formation[2, 18%], chorda transposition[1, 9%] commissurotomy[3, 27%], and papillary muscle splitting[3, 27%]. Average number of mitral anatomic lesions per patient are 2.7 and we used average 2.8 procedures upon mitral valve apparatus per patient. There were no surgical mortality and no late valve related admission during the mean follow up period of 17 months. The mean functional class[NYHA] is 2.81 preoperatively and improved to 1.10 postoperatively. Doppler echocardiography showed much improvement from grade II MR [1 case], grade III MR [1 case] and 9 cases of grade IV MR to 6 cases of patients showed no MR, only trace MR in 4 cases, and grade I MR was found only in one patient with NYHA functional class II postoperatively. The postoperative mean mitral valve area is $2.10+0.28cm^2$. We conclude that mitral reconstruction is a predictable and stable operation.

The isolated coronary ostial stenosis is rare and a critical lesion which requires urgent surgical intervention. Recently direct angioplasty is assumed as a preferable approach to conventional bypass grafting. From Mar. 1990 to Aug. 1993, six patients underwent direct angioplasty in Sejong Heart Institute. The mean age of 6 patients was 48 years [range 37 to 63 and they consisted with 5 females and one male. All had severe angina [class III or IV of short duration [mean 5.3 months and a low incidence of risk factors. Despite the crucial location of the lesion, most patients had well preserved left ventricular function and normal wall motion. We performed direct angioplasty with autologous pericardium via anterior approach except one patient who underwent direct angioplasty and CABG. One patient died 4 hours after angioplasty probably due to acute coronary dissection. The survived 5 patients maintain normal life without symptoms during 26.2 months follow up [range 5 to 47 months .Our preliminary results suggest that angioplasty of isolated coronary ostial stenosis in highly selected patient can be carried out with good results and relatively low operative risks.

When newcomer countries consider a nuclear power programme, it is recognized that the most important organizations are the Nuclear Energy Programme Implementing Organization (NEPIO), the regulator, and an operating organization. Concerning the number of construction delays these days, one of the essential organizations is an Authorized Inspection Agency (AIA). According to World Nuclear Industry Status Report, all of the reactors under construction in eight out of the thirteen countries have experienced delays. Globally, the Flamanville 3 project and Sanmen Unit 1 are 6.5 years and 5 years late respectively. One of the major reasons of delay is due to inappropriate manufacturing and inspection on safety class components. The recommendations are made to develop such an organization: (i) find existing inspection organizations in relevant industries, (ii) contract with expatriates who have experience on nuclear inspection, (iii) develop a legislative framework to authorize the inspection organization with enforcement, (iv) include a contract clause in the BIS for developing the AIA, (v) hold training programmes from vendor country, (vi) during manufacturing and construction, domestic AIA shall be involved.

In childhood systemic lupus erythematosus patients, renal involvement is closely related to mortality and morbidity of the disease. Therefore early diagnosis and treatment are essential to improving prognosis. We saw a child who had hematuria, albuminuria, anorexia, fatigue, and light hyper sensitiveness. He was diagnosed as lupus nephritis (WHO Class II+IV) and treated with ACE inhibitor and steroid therapy for 12 months. However, clinical improvement was not shown. So we treated him with herbal formula (Jasinwhalhyul-tang: Zishenhuoxue-tang) and steroid therapy. After 17 months of treatment, hematuria disappeared and clinical symptoms and albuminuria had improved significantly.

Purpose: As the number of cases of heart transplantation (HT) and the survival rate have increased, concerns regarding post-HT life have grown. This study was conducted to explore the relationships of perceived social support to the depression and health status of HT recipients. Methods: This descriptive study targeted all recipients who had undergone HT at S University Hospital since 1994, and 32 recipients were recruited. Results: 90.6% of the recipients were men, and the average age at the time of surgery was $47.4{\pm}13.4$ years. The ejection fraction was increased from $18.47{\pm}5.63%$ to $63.25{\pm}7.57%$, and 31 cases of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III and IV improved to class I or II after HT. The patients reported mild depression even with high perceived social support and improved health status after HT. Among those resource persons who offered support, they reported their spouse, doctors, and nurses as most meaningful to them. Conclusion: This study confirmed the positive effects of HT on the recipients' physical improvement. It also added the discovery that the importance of recipients' subjective perception of social support might be critical for their more successful recovery and adjustment to post-HT life. Focusing on a different approach to social support and types of social resources in the recovery phase is suggested for future studies on quality of life after HT.

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac malformation oand the ideal surgical correction seems controversial at present, and some problems are left unsolved in the surgical correction of this anomaly. Between June 1978 and June 1982, 12 patients with Ebsteins' anomaly underwent corrective open heart surgery at Seoul National University Hospital. Except for one patient, who had no ASD, all had a huge right atrium, secundum type ASD, and definite atrialized right ventricle. Typically, displaced tricuspid valve leaflets were found in all cases, but the degree of displacement and deformity were variable. In the point of NYHA functional classification, five were in class II, six were in class III, and one was in class IV. Ten patients were operated on by tricuspid valve replacement and pication. Two patients were operated on only by plication and annuloplasty techniques, and in all cases, ASD was closed. Postoperatively, four patients suffered from complete A-V block, and two of them died immediately. The remaining two patients took pacemaker generator implantation with good results. The other eight patients were in good condition. Tricuspid valve replacement using tissue valve and plication of the atrialized rght ventricle seems to be a good method of surgical correction for Ebstein's anomaly.

A retrospective study of 737 consecutive patients surviving the first 24 hours who underwent valve replacement surgery from July 1980 to June 1993 was undertaken to determine the prevalence, variables that could be used to predict outcome and results of therapy for postoperative acute renal failure[ARF]. Twenty-one patients[2.8 %] developed acute renal failure. Positive risk factors noted in the development of postoperative renal failure included age, New York Heart Association class III & IV, endocarditis and elevated preoperative concentration of serum creatinine. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping and the total duration of the operation also closely correlated with the incidence of ARF. The mortality rate for established ARF was 38.1% and ARF was associated with a significant increase in the length of hospitalization, ventilator support and intensive care unit stay. The incidence and mortality rate of oliguric renal failure was 38.1% and 85.7%. The highest mortality rate was associated with two or more postoperative complications and serum creatinine value exceeded 5 mg/dl. We concluded that therapy should be aimed at prevention of oliguric renal failure, or at least its conversion to nonoliguric renal failure, and early institution of renal replacement therapy with intensive support probably gives the best chance for survival.
