The purpose of this study was to establish the upper garment sizing systems for elderly men. These were on the basis of classification of 294 elderly men's somatotypes aged between 60 and 80 with the extent of drop value and analysis of the sizing systems of men's wear companies. The results were as follows: First, the sizing systems of men's wear companies were established with priority given to the young and the middle whose heights were taller than the elderly. There was no sizing system only for elderly men in men's wear companies. Secondly, as the height range increased, the size of chest and waist proportionally increased; however, the waist sizes were limited to somewhat small size ranges. So the sizing systems of men's wear companies had difficulty in covering up the developed-waist somatotype of the elderly. Thirdly, only 1 company out of 10 established the sizing system according to the somatotype. Lastly, the total numbers of size which were established by this study according to somatotype were 40; 18 sizes were set for type A, 10 for type Y, and 12 for type B. The standard sizes were 97-88-165 for type A,94-79-165 for type Y, and 97-94-165 for type B.

This study was done to analyze the body surface developments of armhole area. The major conclusions of this study are: 1. The body surface developments showed the characteristics of expansion and contraction of body at armhole area. By arm movements, front armhole lines on the body surface developments of upper arm were slow going, but back armhole lines were full and round. As a whole, armhole line of the back torso was swollen outside especially at backarmpit point area, it seemed like a line of raglan sleeve. 2. Regression Analysis was carried out to adapt armhole line on the upper arm and upper body to bodice and sleeve pattern, following the axillary circumference line and chest breadth line changed to the basic pattern form. As the result, armhole lines of 90$^{\circ}$ and 135-180$^{\circ}$ movements deviated from those of standard posture. U-type, clear armhole curve of standard posture turned to V-type, slanting line by arm movements.

The purpose of this study was to classify the somatotype around a upper body of 30's men. The subjects were 202 working men aged from 30 to 39 and the data of 33 items including computed items were analysed by factor analysis and cluster analysis. Re results were as follows: As a factor of somatotype in evaluating males in 30's, the horizontal area represented the chest circumference at scye and the breadth items, the vortical region indicated hit length posterior, front length, back length, the breadth difference and the length difference. The somatotype by cluster analysis was classified with 3 type. Type I as the Roher's index 1.21 indicating the smallest in the circumference and weight item was classified as the thin and long featuring bending somatotype. Type 2 with the Rohrer's index 1.35 showing the mid-group between type 1 and 3 had the highest distribution rate as the balanced featuring the standard somatotype. Type 3 as the rohrer's index 1.40 was the largest physical condition group in the obesity featuring the turning over somatotype.

The purposes of this study were to classify somatotype was obtained from the factor scores of the upper half of bodies and analyze the Somatometric characteristics. The sample group (hereinafter referred to as "1st age group") was drawn from bays at the ages 7 to 8 living in Pusan and Kyungsangnam-do. Data from each boy comprised 36 anthropometric measurements and 7 photographic measurements. The study reached following conclusions. 1. According to the analysis to draw Somatometric factors by the 1st age group, seven indicative factors were obtained from measurements of the upper half of bodies. The most significant factor "sectional size" and the second most significant factor "longitudinal size" characterized most aspects of body shape of boys at the ages 7 to 8. 2. According to the analysis of Somatometric characteristics by the upper half of bodies, the 1st age group was categorized into three types : Boys in type 1 had highest stature, biggest frame, broadest shoulders, most protruded chest and shoulder blades and flattest belly : boys in type 2 had shortest stature, smallest frame, sloping shoulders and most protruded belly boys in type 3 had quite high stature and his other measurements were close to the averages of this age group.he averages of this age group.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the development of clothing which can improve the satisfaction of male university students' body shape by classifying the perception of body shape and examining characteristics by type. The types of recognition of body shape of male college students were classified into five types: developed upper body with protruding under abdomen, normal body with long legs, developed under body with big skeleton, skinny body, and ladder type normal body. The actual body shape was classified into three. The Y type had a long chest length and a shoulder developed, and the lower body silhouette was plain and short. Type H was flat with little protrusion from the chest to the hip. Type X has a larger hip and longer hip length than the waist. Body type was classified based on bust, waist, and hip circumference, but recognition body type was classified based on visual characteristics. It is thought that ergonomic consideration is needed to cover the disadvantages of each body type considering the aesthetic part as well as wearing comfort in accordance with the trend of the fashion market nowadays that the slim fit is generalized. This study was limited to male university students in their early 20s in Chungbuk province. Therefore, we could not grasp attitudes and perceptions of male university students living in other provinces. Therefore, we should pay attention to the generalization of the results of this study.

This study researched the sizing system of dress form for apparel manufacturing in the domestic market. It aims to be used as basic data for the development of a dress form that could be used by manufacturers of senior men's clothing. Research focused on the sizes presented on the homepages of 17 dress form manufacturers in the USA, France, Japan, and Korea. Body measurement was made for senior men in their 50's over men (n=134). Six items were measured by the 'Standard body measurement of Size Korea'. The type of dress form in the domestic market can be classified into half-body type (upper body type and lower body type), torso, and whole-body type; in addition, each type is divided into upper arm, arm, crotch, and thigh. Korean dress form manufacturers produced/sold diverse kinds (size 7-9) for women; however, they used large/small sizes or product sizes for men without defining sizes. The chest size (93-105cm) has not been standardized while the rates of waist circumference, hip circumference and shoulder length (in accordance with the chest size) were all different. Global dress form brands manufactured reflecting body dimensions by the state organization USA ASTM. Japan JIS. For this reason, most domestic clothing businesses depend on imported dress forms. Especially, there were no dress forms for senior men. With the growing market for seniors, it would be necessary to produce senior dress forms for clothing production that reflect the body shapes and sizes of seniors.

The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a rare disease, and is one of the most common congenital lung diseases which require prompt surgical intervention. The prognosis depends on its tissue type, prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention. The lesion consists of enlarged, variable sized multiple cyst with overgrowth of terminal bronchioles, like hamartoma. This disease can be associated with other vascular anomalies or other congenital defect especially in type II lesion We recently experienced one case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation The patient was 2 months old infant who showed respiratory distress without associated anomaly. After right upper lobe lobectomy, the patient was recovered uneventfully.

Benign hyperplasia of hilar lymph glands is rare. Most of the lesions were intrathoracic cavity. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms of the chest or because. of pressure symptoms or the presence of a palpable mass if outside the thorax. Diagnosis is. made after removal of gland, a procedure which may also have therapeutic value. They have been divided into 2 histol0gic types: the hyaline-vascular lesions, which were, most numerous, were characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation ;the plasma cell lesions were characterized by large follicles with! intervening sheets of plasma cells. We experienced one case of benign hyperplasia of lymph gland in left hilum, which were. most numerous, characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation-hyaline-vascular type. This 29 years old male patient was treated by right upper lobectomy with excision of lesion. The postoperative courses was uneventful.

The combined anomaly of pulmonary stenosis with atrial or ventricular septal defects is usually associated with decreased pulmonary blood flow and right to left shunt, and result in generalized cyanosis. Non-cyanotic pulmonary stenosis patients have generally been considered to have isolated pulmonary stenosis with intact septa. We are going to report a case of pulmonary stenosis with septal defects who have no frank cyanosis at rest because of the predominant intracardiac shunt from left to right. Recently, we managed surgically a case of pulmonary valvular stenosis combined with secundum type atrial septal defect, type II ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. The clinical manifestations of this patient were exertional dyspnea, frequent upper respiratory infection, chest discomfortness and lethargy since late childhood and these had been progressively aggravated. Pulmonary valvular stenosis, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect were closed through simply right atriotomy and patent ductus arteriosus through pulmonary arteriotomy. Immediate postoperative course was uneventful and one year follow up is excellent.

Cor triatriatum is rare congenital cardiac anomaly first described by Church in 1868. The anomaly consists of an abnormal partitioning of the left atrium by a fibromuscular membrane that divides the atrium into an upper chamber, which receives the pulmonary veins, and a lower chamber, which contains the atrial appendage and the mitral valve. The upper and lower chambers communicate through a stenotic fenestration in the membrane, which has the hemodynamic consequence of pulmonary venous obstruction. Recently we experienced cot triatriatum associated with partial anomalous pulmonary drainage to right atrium. The upper chamber was connected to right atrium through a sinus venous type of ASD and received left superior and both inferior pulmonary vein, whereas the lower chamber so called true left atrium communicated with right atrium through foramen ovale type of ASD, left atrial appendage and mitral orifice. And the anomalous membrane has no fenestrations which permit blood flow. The operation was made right atrial approach under the CPB. We excised completely the anomalous septum and reconstructed atrial septal defect with pericardial patch to drain the right upper pulmonary vein to the left atrium. The postoperative course has been good during follow up.
