37세의 여자 환자가 halothane 마취로 개심술후 14일에 고열, 황달등이 발생하여 급성 간염으로 진단을 받아 치료하던 중 19일째 사망한 예로 급성간염의 원인이 수혈에 의한 virus성 간염과 halothane에 의한 간염, 기타 약제나 수술의 특수조작에 의한 간염 인가를 대조 검토하였으나 정확한 원인을 규명할 수는 없었다.

This study was undertaken to evaluate whether peroxisome proliferator-activated-receptor-gamma $(PPAR-{\gamma})$ agonist-rosiglitazone (ROSI) induces postischemic functional recovery in Langendorf heart model. Hearts isolated from normal rats were subjected to 20 min of normoxia or 25 min zero-flow ischemia followed by 50 min reperfusion. In this acute protocol, ROSI $(20\;{\mu}g/ml)$ administered 10 min before ischemia had no effect on hemodynamic cardiac function, but had protective effect on lipid peroxidation in in vitro experiments. In chronic protocol in which ROSI was given by daily gavage (4 mg/kg) for three consecutive days, ROSI could not prevent the hemodynamic alteration on cardiac performance, but has protective effect on the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). There was no significant difference in the contents of reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase activity between ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and ROSI treated IR hearts. Although ROSI had no effect on hemodynamic factor, it had effect on antioxidant activity. Our results indicate that ROSI provides partial beneficial effects by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and/or recovering normal level of SOD activity in the ischemic reperfused heart.

Objective : Ancestral qi and vitality qi are the most significant qi in lung and heart. However, the origins and functions of those qi are not quite detailed somehow. Method : I will try to find out the origins and functions of ancestral qi and vitality qi through "Hwangdineijing". Result : The ancestral qi is the essence of lung and the vitality qi is the essence of heart. Conclusion : The function of ancestral qi is what puts nutrient qi and defence qi into meridians to make them being rightways of meridians and those of vitality qi is what pushes ahead nutrient qi and defence qi through meridians.

This paper evaluated autonomic nervous system function in 23 patients with syncope and a positive tilt test result, 21 with a negative test result, and 19 healthy controls. Indexes of heart rate variability were measured during supine resting, immediately afte rtilt-up, standing rsting, immediately before syncope and immediately after tiltdown. There were no significant differences among the groups in any of the indexes of heart rate varability over the 24-hour holter recordings. In patients with a positive tilt result, tilting gaused a decrease in low-frequency (LF) immediately before syncope and incsrease in high-frequency (HF) bands immediately before. In patients with a negative tilt result, tilting caused a decrease in low-frequency (LF) immediately before syncope and decrease in high-frequency (HF) bands immediately before, different from positive tilt results. Our findings showed that patients with vasovagal syncope have no chronic differences from normal subjects in autonomic nervous system activity, but that these patients respond differently to the orthostatic stimulus.

The present study examined the effect of a methanol extract of Evodiae Fructus on the cardiovascular function in N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (NAME)-induced hypertensive Wistar rats after treatment over 6 weeks. In rats treated with NAME, blood pressure, weight of heart, aorta media thickness and media/lumen ratio significantly (p<0.05) increased, whereas coronary flow and heart rate of isolated heart significantly (p<0.05) decreased compared with control group at 6 weeks. In rats treated with NAME and Evodiae Fructus, blood pressure, aorta media/lumen ratio significantly(p<0.05) decreased compared with NAME treated group at 6 weeks. These results suggest that Evodiae Fructus is applicable to the treatment of hypertension and vascular hypertrophy.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of KST221085, a newly synthesized antidiabetic agent, on the hearts from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In isolated diabetic hearts, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), heart rate (HR) and coronary flow rate (CFR) were decreased compared to normal control, indicating cardiovascular dysfunction in diabetic heart. The treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085 remarkably improved the diabetes-induced contractile impairment, without any influence on HR. Reduced coronary flow in diabetic heart was also significantly increased by treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085. In isolated aorta from diabetic rat, treatment with 10 $\mu$M KST221085 increased endothelium-dependent relaxation, suggesting that KST221085 can improve the impaired endothelial function in diabetic aorta. Our results suggest that KST221085 treatment can improve the cardiovascular dysfunction in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Digital fetal monitoring system based on the personal computer combined with the digital signal processing (DSP) board was implemented. The DSP board acquires and digitally processes ultra- sound fetal Doppler signal for digital signal conditioning, rectification, low -pass filtering, autocorrealtion function calculation and its peak detection. The personal computer interfaced with the DSP board is in charge of graphic display, hardcopy, data transmission and on -line analysis of fetal heart rate change including on - line warning system, base -line estmation, acceleration, deceleration and variability. It is one of the most suitable situation to apply the DSP chip for siganl conditioning, digital filtering of ultrasound fetal Dopier signal and fetal heart rate estimation using autocorrelation technique .

This study describes a software engine that can evaluate human sensibility using a heart rate variable(HRV) of hypochodriac or old people, and suggest biofeedback to enhance their emotion. To develop the software engine, using PPG signal heart rate and HRV are calculated. Using the FFT spectra of HRV, human sensibility is estimated. And a biofeedback software is designed with motion image player, breathing control and other function modules.

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome comprised of a number of symptoms and signs associated with congestion and/or hypoperfusion. Specific pharmacologic therapies have been developed to slow disease progression from early to more advanced stages. Once symptoms have developed, aggressive multimodality interventions are instituted to alleviate symptoms and improve clinical status and quality of life; especially in those patients that present symptoms. Recently, an evolving adjunctive therapeutic modality, that involves using implanted electrical devices: cardiac resynchronization with or without implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). has been used for management. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a proven treatment for selected patients with heart failure-induced conduction disturbances and ventricular dyssynchrony. When used in combination with stable, optimal medical therapy, CRT is designed to reduce symptoms and improve cardiac function by restoring the mechanical sequence of ventricular activation and contraction. This review summarizes the rationale, procedure, clinical trials, and clinical indications for CRT.

장기간 반복 주행운동이 횐 쥐의 심근에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 생후 3개월,10개 월 및 20개월 된 횐 쥐를 운동군과 대조군으로 대별하여 motor driven treadmill을 이용하여 Park등이 사용한 방법에 준해서 5개월간, 주 5일 20분간 운동을 시킨 후 심근의 조직 및 세포학적 변화를 관찰하고 심근 세포 내 미세구조 변화를 입체해석학적으로 비교 분석하였다. 연령 증가에 따라 장기간 반복운동이 휜쥐 심근미세구조에 미치는 영향은 8, 15개월의 운동군과 대조군 사이에 뚜렷한 차이를 인정할 수 없으며, 15개월의 운동군에서 대조군에 비하여 변성된 사립체, 리소조옴, 지방적, 공포, 노화색소 등이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 25개월 운동군은 같은 연령 대조군에 비하여 근원섬유 수축대, 근원섬유 소실, 윤반분리,세포간질 증식, 핵의 변성,교원섬유 근섬유내 침입 등 매우 심한 변화를 보였다. 조직상에 나타나는 early lipofusin과 미세구조상에 나타나는 노화색소는 8, 15개월의 운동군과 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었으며, 25개월 운동군은 같은 연령 대조군에 비하여 유의한 차이로 증가하였다. Glucose-6-phosphatase 활성도 8, 15개월군에서 운동군과 대조군에서 모두 활성이 높았으며 25개월의 대조군과 운동군에서는 모두 활성이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 미세구조 변화를 입체해석학적으로 분석한 결과 8, 15개월의 대조군과 운동군에서 체적 밀도의 모든 항은 양군사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 25개월에서는 세포간질이 대조군에 비하여 운동군이 유의한 증가를 나타내었고, 근원섬유는 유의한 차이는 없지만 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 사립체는 대조군에 비하여 유의 한 감소를 나타내었고 근형질세망의 체적밀도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 사립체와 근원섬유 비는 8개월 운동군에서 유의한 차이는 없지만 대조군에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 15개월의 운동군과 대조군 사이에서는 차이를 인정할 수 없었다. 그러나 25개월 운동군은 대조군에 비하여 유의한 차이로 감소하였다. 연령증가에 따른 사립체 내막 표면밀도와 사립체수는 대조군과 운동군 사이에는 유의한 변화는 없었다. 본 연구의 성적을 검토한 결과 젊은층(3개월군)과 중령층(10개월군)의 횐 쥐에서는 반복된 지구력운동이 심장에 미치는 역효과를 인정할 수 없었으며 젊은 층의 횐 쥐에서는 오히려 심장기능 강화를 보이는 경향이 나타났으며, 노화층(20개월군)에서 운동군에서는 스트레스로 작용하여 심장기능의 저하를 초래하였다고 생각된다.
