This is a report on two cases of aortic prostheses using Nylon tube. (Edwards-Tapp A-G Tube, Chemically treated braided Nylon arterial grafts). Especially, the complications after infection of synthetic graft are discussed with reviewing literature. First case was the patient who came to our hospital with rupture of the right femoral artery at the femoral fossa due to pyogenic necrotic process. After femoral arterial prostheses, good pulsation of dorsal artery of foot was obtained. However, the tube was obstructed after 8 weeks postoperatively due tll the complication of infection. In spite of the tube was removed because of obstruction and foreign body reaction of synthetic graft, an amputation of the leg was not necessary for formation of good collateral circulation. Second case was a case of aortic aneurysmal rupture in thoraco-abdominal junction which developed by the trauma of rib resection for osteomyelitis of the left 12th. rib An implantation of aortic graft was performed at the lowest tho13cic aorta by the way of thoraco-abdominal bypass without arterial pump. However, infection produced pyothorax in the left pleural cavity, exposing the tube within the pyothorax. The rupture of the anastomosed upper line occurred in 8 weeks postoperatively and the patient expired.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Rhizoma on the blood pressure, heart rate and to define the mechanism of Notopterygii Rhizoma-induced relaxation in rabbit common carotid arterial contracted by agonists. Method : In order to explore the effect of Notopterygii Rhizoma on the blood pressure and heart rate, Notopterygii Rhizoma extract was injected in vein of rabbit ear. In order to investigate the effect of Notopterygii Rhizoma on norepinephrine(NE)-induced contracted rabbit carotid arterial strips, transverse strips with intact or damaged endothelium were used for the experiment using organ bath. To analyze the mechanism of Notopterygii Rhizoma-induced relaxation, Notopterygii Rhizoma extract infused into NE-induced contracted strips induced by agonists after treatment of methylene blue, propranolol, ouabain and it infused into serotonin, potassium chloride-induced contracted strips. Result : The blood pressure was significantly decreased by Notopterygii Rhizoma, but heart rate was insignificantly. In addition, Notopterygii Rhizoma significantly relaxed the norepinephrine, serotonin, potassium-induced contracted strips with intact endothelium or damaged endothelium. The relaxing effect of Notopterygii Rhizoma In NE-induced contracted strips with damaged endothelium by pretreatment of methylene blue, propranolol was not changed, but Ouabain was significantly decreased. Conclusion : These results were shown that Notopterygii Rhizoma affected the NE -induced contracted smooth muscle without the participation of endothelium, and demonstrated that the mechanism of NotoDtervgii Rhizoma-induced relaxation was the obstruction of receptor-operated Ca2+ channel.

발을 향해 가는 혈류의 중요한 길목인 무릎 밑 동맥은 다리 혈관 중 가장 가늘며, 협착 등의 병변이 발생하거나 폐쇄가 발생하게 되면 중증하지허혈을 유발할 수 있다. 중증하지허혈이란 말초동맥 질환의 가장 심한 임상 양상 중 하나로서 휴지기 동통, 족부궤양 또는 괴저의 형태로 나타난다. 일반적으로 동맥경화 질환의 진행은 미만성으로 나타나며 대다수의 환자에서 무릎 밑 동맥을 침범한다. 치료의 목표는 동맥혈류 재개통과 사지구제이다. 기술적으로 가능한 경우, 그리고 환자가 걷지 못하는 상태가 아니라면 중증하지허혈이 있는 환자는 혈관의 재개통이 즉시 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 혈관 내 치료는 무릎 밑 동맥을 포함한 모든 환자의 표준 치료가 될 것이며, 혈관재건술을 시행하는 외과의의 임상적 역할은 줄어들 것이다.

Changes in handling of $Li^+$ by contralateral kidney during acute $Li^+$ loading were investigated immediately after unilateral ureteral obstruction. Carotid artery, jugular vein, renal vein and ureter of experimental animal were catheterized and renal venous flow was shunted to .external jugular vein. In experimental group right ureter was ligated. One to two hours after operation a single shot of LiCl solution (2 mEq/kg) was intravenously injected and then .arterial, renal venous blood and urine samples were taken sequentially for 1 to $1{\frac{1}{2}}$ hours. Urine volume, plasma and urinary concentrations of $Li^+$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were measured and urinary excretion of them were calculated. Results obtained were as follows: 1) In experimental group urine volume, urinary excretion of $Na^+$, and $K^+$ by contralateral kidney after unilateral ureteral obstruction were slightly larger than mean value of both kidney in control group. 2) During acute $Li^+$ loading contralateral kidney in experimental group showed limited $K^+$ excretion, but urinary flow and $Na^+$ excretion were comparable to mean value of both kidney in control group. 3) Urinary osmolar concentration in experimental group was much lower than that in control group, and it was maintained at low level even after Li loading. 4) In experimental group plasma$Li^+$ concentration decreased more slowly than in control group after a single shot of LiCl solution. 5) Urinary excretion of $Li^+$ in experimental group was markedly decreased, even lesseer than mean of both kidney in control group. 6) From the above results it was concluded that immediately after unilateral ureteral obstruction contralateral kidney showed normal water and $Na^+$ diuretic response to Li load but urinay $Li^+$ excretion was decreased and reclaimed $Li^+$ to systemic circulation.

Background: Total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a relatively rare disease which has a very high mortality(80% within a year) if not properly corrected surgically. Material and Method: Twenty-six infants with total anomalous pulmonary venous return underwent repair between May, 1991 and February, 1996. Result: There were 19 boys and 7 girls. The mean age at operation was 2.6 months(range: 5 day to 11 month) and the mean body weight was 4.3kg(range:2.8 to 6.7 kg). Preoperative stabilization included ventilator for 5 patients and inotropic support for 6 patients. There were 6 hospital mortalities. Significant risk factors of operative mortality were preoperative ventilator care(p<0.03) and preoperative inotropic support(p<0.05). Age, body weight at operation, pulmonary venous obstruction, high pulmonary arterial pressure, spurasystemic right ventricular pressure or emergency operation did not affected the operative outcome. Postperative pulmonary venous obstruction occurred in three patients 2 or 3 months later, among them one patient was reoperated. The actuarial survival was 76% at 40 months. Conclusion: Although early mortality was high, repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous return should be attempted in early life, but the patients receiving ventilator care or inotropic support need special attention.

Recently, the arterial switch operation has received more interest and increased application for many patients with TGA [Transposition of the Great Arteries]. Not all patients, however, are suitable candidates for this approach, and its success will be measured against the Senning procedure. From June 1982 through June 1989, 48 consecutive patients underwent correction of TGA by a modification of the Senning procedure in our hospital. 34 were males and 14 females, with ages ranging from 3 months to 99 months [mean age 14 months]. The patients were divided into two groups, group I [TGA with intact ventricular septum or without significant pulmonary hypertension] and group II [TGA with significant pulmonary hypertension]. The hospital mortality was 9.5 % in group I and 55.6 % in group lI. 31 patients were discharged from the hospital after a Senning operation and have been followed a mean of 31.2 months. There were 5 late deaths, 3 in group I and 2 in group II. All patients were followed up with EKG, echocardiogram, and in several cases, Holter monitor and cardiac catheterization and angiography were also performed. There have been arrhythmias in 7, superior vena caval obstruction in 5, pulmonary venous obstruction in 2 and tricuspid insufficiency and/or right ventricular dysfunction in 16 patients. The Senning operation for Simple TGA can be performed with a low operative mortality and morbidity, but tricuspid insufficiency and/or depressed right ventricular function can be a problem with prolonged follow up.

We reviewed our entire experience of 44 consecutive patients undergoing the arterial switch operation [ASO] for transposition of the great arteries [TGA] since March 1985.There were 28 patients with simple TGA[group I] and 16 with associated ventricular septal defect[VSD] [Group II] There were five hospital deaths[11.4%, 5/44], two related to single right coronary artery anatomy. There have been no late deaths. For group I hospital mortality was 14.3%[4/28], and for group II this was 6.25%[1/16]. Mean follow-up was 3.3 years[range 1 month to 8 years] and was completed for all patients. Actuarial survival at 7 years for hospital survivors was 85 $\pm$ 3.2 % in group I and 94 $\pm$ 3.5% in groupII. One patient has mild asymptomatic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and five patients [12.8 %,5/ 39] have right ventricular outflow tract gradients[RVOTO] exceeding 25 mmHg; only one patient has required reoperation for RVOTO. Mild neoaortic regurgitation is present in one patient. All survivors are currently in NYHA class I without medicalion, and all are in sinus rhythm. The ASO is associated with low operative risk and excellent medium-term outcome in most subsets of patients undergoing this operation. With more experience, improved results can be expected also in those patients currently at higher risk.
