  • Background : The vasoreactivity of cerebral artery is currently the subject of increasing interest. Transcranial Doppler Sonography(TCD) is an accurate method of monitoring the blood flow velocities of the cerebral artery. We wished to assess the vasoreactivity between age-matched normal and cerebral infarction group. Method : We performed TCD findings in 40 normals and 20 cb-inf. subjects who arrived at hospital during 48 hours after attack. The former were devided into twenties normal group and fifties normal group. Result : 1. Fibrinogen levels showed significant changes between age-matched normal and cb-inf. group. 2. $V^{MEAN}$ of the both side Carotid Siphon during rest state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 3. $V^{MEAN}and\;V^{MAX}$ of the both side carotid siphon during breath-hold state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 4. Vasoreactivity of cerebral artery increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 5. $V^{MEAN}and\;V^{MAX}$ of the both side Radial artery during heat-stimuration state increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group. 6. Vasoreactivity of Radial artery increased significantly in cb-inf. group as compared with the age-matched normal group.

  • Angioaccess has become increasingly important to vascular surgeons as more patients with end stage renal disease[ESRD] are being supported by hemodialysis. Because of the rapid increase in the number of patients undergoing hemodialysis in recent years, it has become necessary to develope alternative vascular access procedures. During the period from December 1986 to December 1992, 290 cases of arteriovenous fistula and associated operations for hemodialysis were performed at Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul Paik Hospital, Inje University. They Consisited of 175 male and 115 female, ranging in age from 8 and 79 years. The procedure of first choice, the Brescia`s original radial artery-cephalic vein arteriovenous fistula was performed upon 219 patients. In many patients, the radial artery-cephalic vein fistula cannot be performed because of inadequate vein or failure of previous radial artery-cephalic vein fistula. The waiting time until initiation of venous puncture for the first hemodialysis session was 3 days. The second choice of angioaccess, using the brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula and brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula at antecubital fossa, ulnobasilic arteriovenous fistula, femorosaphenous arteriovenous fistula, and radiobasilic arteriovenous fistula with saphenous in situ routes, was obtained in 17, 7, 4, 2 and 1 patients. Interposition grafts, the third choice of angioaccess, were performed upon 2 patients. Twenty seven patients underwent revisions or thrombectomies. The purpose of this report is to review the technique of this procedure and discuss the longterm results.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to compare pain, sense, bleeding, and hematoma that patients feel depending on the process of eliminating air of pressure band that was applied to patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through radial artery. Methods: It was a nonequivalent control group pretestposttest design to compare pain, sense, bleeding, and hematoma by amount and time of eliminating air of pressure band after PCI through radial artery. Results: On arrival at Coronary Care Unit, meaningful difference didn't exist between pain and sense, however, after two hours of starting eliminating air, the points of pain and sense were meaningfully low (p<.001). Also, there was meaningful difference in reciprocal action between group and time (p<.001). Conclusion: After PCI, the conclusion showed there is positive effect in decreasing wrist pain and sense without any influence of bleeding by eliminating air from patients' pressure bands.

  • In the this research, two simultaneous peaks of radial artery pulse wave and ECG pulse wave measured by using clip-type pulsimeter and ECG were investigated in order to analyze pulse wave velocity. The measured value of a pulse wave velocity is about 5~7 m/s, it is proved one new method to measure an exact value of pulse wave velocity more than the typical biomedical signal monitoring system. This result implies that data measured by the oriental medical diagnosis apparatus as pulsimeter is clinically used in future.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic relationships between neurovascular structures and the transverse carpal ligament so as to avoid complications during endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery. Methods : Twenty-eight patients (age range, 35-69 years) with carpal tunnel syndrome were entered into the study. We examined through wrist magnetic resonance imaging in three different positions (neutral, radial flexion, and ulnar flexion) and determined several anatomic landmark (distance from the hamate hook to the median nerve, ulnar nerve, and ulnar vessel) based on the lateral margin of the hook of the hamate. The median nerve and ulnar neurovascular structure were studied with the wrist in the neutral, ulnar, and radial flexion positions. Results : The ulnar neurovascular structures usually passed just over or ulnar to the hook of the hamate. However, in 12 hands, a looped ulnar artery coursed 0.6-3.3 mm radial to the hook of the hamate and continued to the superficial palmar arch. The looped ulnar artery migrates on the ulnar side of Guyon's canal (-5.2-1.8 mm radial to the hook of the hamate) with the wrist in radial flexion. During ulnar flexion of the wrist, the ulnar artery shifts more radially beyond the hook of the hamate (-2.5-5.7 mm). Conclusion : It is appropriate to transect the ligament greater than 4 mm apart from the lateral margin of the hook of the hamate without placing the edge of the scalpel toward the ulnar side. We would also recommend not transecting the transverse carpal ligament in the ulnar flexed wrist position to protect the ulnar neurovascular structure.

  • Aortic arch syndrome is an unusual disease entity characterized by the narrowing or obliteration of major branches of the arch of the aorta regardless of etiology. We have experienced 2 cases. One of them was 22 years old office girl with 3 months history of headache, intermittent syncope and weakness and claudication on left arm especially during her physical exercise. On physical examination, pulseless on left antecubital and radial artery and blood pressure on left arm was inable to check and coldness with weakness were noted on the same side. Aortic angiography reealed 34% narrowing of left subclavian artery as that of right. But both common carotid artery and both axillary arterial patency were relatively good. Through right supraclavicular and left axillary incision, bypass graft with Gore-tex prosthesis (I.D. 6mm, Length 25 cm) was implanted from right subclavian artery on 2cm distal to origin of right common carotid arery to left axillary artery distal to axillary fossa. End to side anastomosis with preservation of left subclavian artery was done. Postoperative state was stable with blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg on left arm and palpable antecubital and radial pulsation. Another one was 41 year old male patient with 8 months history of pain and numbness on right upper arm and shoulder. On admission, right arm blood pressure was 110/80 mmHg, left arm was 160/110 mmHg, but other physical findings had no abnormalities. Angiography revealed segmental narrowing of right axillary artery on the beginning with 2 cm in length. Operative treatment with right wupraclavicular and right axillary incision, bypass graft with great saphenous vein (Length; 15 cm) from right subclavian artery between scalenus anticus and medius to axillary artery at distal end of axillary fossa was done. The authors report two cases of Aortic arch syndrome treated with bypass graft using Autograft or Gore-tex with good result.

  • We measured radial arterial pulse signals using a prototype of a clip-type pulsimeter equipped with a permanent magnet and a Hall device, which produced signals through a voltage-detecting circuit. The systolic peak time and the reflective peak time for a temporally pulsed signal were analyzed for an arbitrary pulse wave at one position of a small permanent magnet. The measured value of the peripheral pulse wave velocity was about 1.25-1.52 m/s, demonstrating the accuracy of this new method. To measure the peripheral blood flow velocity, we simultaneously connected the radial artery pulsimeter to a photoplethysmography meter. The average value of the peripheral blood flow velocity was about 0.27-0.50 m/s.

  • Objectives : This study was conducted to reveal the relationship between multiple factors of traditional Korean Medicine diagnosis and consider the further probabilities of treating people with physical and mental problems not defined as diseases, which is called 'Mibyeong' in traditional Korean Medicine. Methods : 40 healthy participants were included in the observational clinical trial. The participants were asked to complete health questionnaires (e.g. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Stress Response Inventory) and they went through a traditional diagnosis process, including four stages of diagnosis (looking, listening/smelling, inquiring, and pulse taking), by a Korean Medicine doctor. Both the Korean Medicine doctor and an artery tonometry device performed the pulse diagnosis. Results : Although all participants were healthy people with no history of disease, more than half of participants had a problem related with severe level of fatigue (n=19), sleep disturbance (n=26) and stress (n=27) status according to the related questionnaires. Participants diagnosed with phlegm syndrome by the Korean Medicine doctor showed significantly greater score in phlegm pattern questionnaires than participants who were not. However, there was little agreement between the doctor's pulse diagnosis and radial artery tonometry results. Conclusions : We conducted a pulse diagnosis and measured health-related information along with the traditional Korean Medicine diagnose procedure, including four stages of diagnosis, and we found a linkage between diagnosis of phlegm and the phlegm pattern questionnaire score. The results suggest that a number of healthy participants, with no disease diagnosed, have Mibyoung symptoms which need further clinical management. Thus, we suggest that Mibyoung management programs based on qualified diagnosis tools and traditional Korean medicine diagnosis procedures be developed, and that future research using various diagnostic tools be carried out on a large population.

  • The clip-type pulsimeter equipped with a magnetic sensing Hall device and the most popular body sign of the electrocardiogram (ECG) were investigated in order to analyze the pulse wave velocity (PWV). The PWV simultaneously calculated by means of time difference between the maximum peak of ECG pulse wave and the starting point of radial artery pulse wave, and distance difference between the heart position and the radial wrist position. The PWV analyzed from the clinical data was a wider scope of 5~7 m/s with an average value of 6 m/s. By the prediction of blood vessel's elasticity from the analysis of PWV, it may be useful for developing an oriental-western diagnostic medical signal device for a U-health-care system in the future.
