Purpose: In this study, we investigated the anti-thrombotic and antiinflammatory efficacy of "Gamijoukyungtang(GJKT)". Methods: We studied inhibitory effects of platelet aggregation, FXa activation, $TXB_2$ and $PGE_2$ biosynthesis and suppressive effects of GPIIb/IIIa activity and oxidative damage, pro-inflammatory cytokine reduction effects of 'GJKT(by press extractor)/GJKT-1(by pressless extractor)' in vitro. Also, we studied suppression of pulmonary embolism, AV shunt model in rats and shortening of Rat tail bleeding time in vivo. Results: GJKT/GJKT-1 extract showed inhibitory effects on GPIIb/IIIaactivities and platelet aggregation induced by ADP, epinephrine, collagen and arachidonic acid. They suppressed biosynthesis of $PGE_2$ but GJKT-1 only supressed biosynthesis of $TXB_2$. In FXa assay, they inhibited activation of FXa. they suppressed pulmonary embolism triggered by collagen and epinephrine. In AV shunt model, they decreased the weights of AV shunt thrombus. they inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased oxidative damages caused by DPPH. Conclusion: We confirmed the anti-thrombosis, and ant-inflammatory efficacy of 'GJKT(by press extractor)/GJKT-1(by pressless extractor)'.

While a delayed intracerebral hemorrhage at the site of a ventricular catheter has occasionally been reported in literature, a delayed hemorrhage caused by venous infarction secondary to ventriculoperitoneal shunting has not been previously reported. In the present case, a 68-year-old woman underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting through a frontal burr hole, and developed a hemorrhagic transformation of venous infarction on the second postoperative day. This massive venous infarction was caused by bipolar coagulation and occlusion of a large paramedian cortical vein in association with atresia of the rostral superior sagittal sinus. Thus, to eliminate the risk of postoperative venous infarction, technical precautions to avoid damaging surface vessels in a burr hole are required under loupe magnification in ventriculoperitoneal shunting.

Objectives: This research was investigated to find out the effect of the anticoagulant Perillae folium extract. Methods: To examine an active effect of anticoagulation in Perillae folium extract, the study measured Prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) of human plasma in vitro and measured bleeding time and arterio-venous shunt model in rats in vivo. Results: Bleeding time of Perillae folium extract in vivo had a significant increase 1.6 times and thrombus weight of Perillae folium extract had a significant reduction of thrombus weight as 68%. Perillae folium extract had an effect of anticoagulation by operating on extrinsic pathway factor II, V, VII, X and intrinsic pathway factor VIII, IX, X, VI, VII in the coagulation system. Conclusions: Considering the above mentioned results, it is judged that a Perillae folium extract has a control effect of thrombus creation.

The Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare type of portal hypertension caused by complete or incomplete obstruction of the hepatic vein or the corresponding portion of the inferior vena cava or both. In this case, the obstruction was located just beneath the diaphragm, above the right hepatic vein opening, which was confirmed by vena cavography preoperatively. Budd-Chiari syndrome with stenosis or thrombosis of the inferior vena cava may be cured by prosthetic bypass to the right atrium. This case is caused by thrombus of unknowed primary origin. Combined mesoatrial and cavoatrial shunt should be encouraged in this specific situation. Postoperatively, there were marked fall of venous pressure and symptoms and signs improved remarkably.

The relationship between angiographic findings and those of $^{67}Ga$ scan was evaluated in 30 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by either pathological examination or laboratory, radiologic findings. Twenty-three cases revealed hot activities on $^{67}Ga$ scan and definite tumor stains on angiography. Main findings of $^{67}Ga$ scans of 7 cases were isoactivity in 5 and cold area in 2, 5 of which revealed faint or no tumor stain on angiography. Cold areas within the primary hepatocellular carcinoma were noted in 9 cases by $^{67}Ga$ scan. In 6 cases these were due to tumor necrosis. Remaining 3 cases had arterioportal shunt, portal vein thrombosis and one had necrosis as well. These results indicate that gallium uptake of primary hepatocellular carcinoma seems to be relatively correlated with tumor stains on angiography. It is well known that the necrotic portion of primary hepatocellular carcinoma does not uptake gallium and it's the main cause of cold areas on $^{67}Ga$ scan. And we suspect that the hemodynamic changes of primary hepatocellular carcinoma such as large arterioportal shunt, portal vein thromosis may cause the decreased activity on $^{67}Ga$ scan.

Although the effects of the rice bran have recently been investigated, there is no information regarding platelet physiology available. However, it is well known that fermented natural plants have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate whether fermented rice bran extract (FRBE) with several plants (Artemisia princeps, Angelica Gigantis Radix, Cnidium officinale, and Camellia sinensis) affected agonist-induced platelet aggregation, and if so, what the underlying mechanism of its activity was. We performed several experiments, including in vitro platelet aggregation, intracellular calcium concentration and adenosine triphosphate release. In addition, the activation of integrin ${\alpha}_{II}b{\beta}3$ was determined using fibrinogen binding. Thrombus formation was also evaluated in vivo using an arterio-venous shunt model. The FRBE inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner. FRBE significantly and dose dependently attenuated thrombus formation using rat arterio-venous shunt. FRBE suppressed the intracellular calcium mobilization in collagen-stimulated platelets. We also found that FRBE inhibited extracellular stimuli-responsive kinase 1/2, p38-mitogen-activated protein kinases and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation. These results suggested that FRBE inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, which was mediated by modulation of downstream signaling molecules. In conclusion, FRBE could be developed as a functional food against aberrant platelet activation-related cardiovascular diseases.

메이-터너 증후군은 좌측 장골정맥이 우측 총장골동맥에 눌러져 발생하는 장골-대퇴정맥의 심부정맥 혈전증이다. 비록 카테터를 이용한 혈전제거 술과 혈전용해 및 스텐트 삽입술이, 기술적 수월함과 낮은 재발율로 인해 급성기 혹은 아급성기의 메이-터너 증후군 환자들에게 보편적인 치료법으로 인식되고 있지만 일부 환자에서는 치명적인 합병증을 일으킬 수 있다. 더군다나 만성 메이-터너 증후군 환자에서의 궁극적인 적절한 치료법은 아직 정립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 2예의 만성 메이-터너 증후군 환자에서 혈관 내 치료법 실패 후 수술적 혈전제거 술과 스텐트 삽관술, 동정맥루 조성술을 적용하였다. 이러한 수술적 치료법은 일부 혈관 내 치료가 적응증이 될 수 없는 환자에게 유의한 치료법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

We have experienced 62 cases of modified Fontan operations in Seoul Nat’l University Hospital from Apr. 1986 to Jul. 1989, They were 38 males and 24 females, and their age was ranged from 16 months to 15.5 years of age. [mean age : 5.73$\pm$2.99 years] There were 16 operative deaths and 2 late deaths, therefore 29% of overall mortality. Their diagnoses were as follows; 28 single ventricle, 11 tricuspid atresia, 6 DORV with LV hypoplasia, 3 pulmonary atresia with hypoplastic RV, 3 TGA with hypoplastic RV, 3 cor\ulcornerGA with hypoplastic LV and PA, 6 AV canal defects with PA, and 2 others. Low cardiac output and pleural effusion were developed frequently, so we divide 40 patients into some groups to analyze the physiologic and anatomic causes of them. By the degree of the LCO, group A was no LCO[mean amount of inotropics used: 0-5 \ulcornerg/kg/min] with 17 cases, B mild LCO [5-10] with 11, C moderate to severe LCO but alive[>10] with 8, D severe LCO to death with 4 cases. For the pleural effusion, group 1 was to be removed the chest tube within 1 week with 8 cases, group II within 3 weeks with 21 cases, group III beyond 3 weeks with 12 cases. We considered their age, diagnosis, pulmonary artery size[PA index], pulmonary artery abnormality, palliative shunt, systemic ventricular type, pulmonary artery wedge pressure, as preoperative factors, and operative methods, and as postoperative factors, CVP, LAP, arrhythmia, thrombosis, atrioventricular valvular insufficiency, etc. In the view of LCO, pulmonary artery size and PCWP were statistically significant [P<0.05], and arrhythmia, A-V valve insufficiency were inclined to the group C and D Pleural effusion was influenced by the pulmonary artery size, pulmonary artery resistance, PCWP, and CVP significantly. [P<0.05] And arrhythmia, residual shunt, and A-V valvular insufficiency were inclined to group II and III, too. As a results, the followings are to be reminded as the important factors at the care of post-Fontan LCO, and persistent pleural effusion [1] pulmonary artery size, [2] pulmonary artery resistance, [3] PCWP, [4] CVP, [5] arrhythmia, [6] residual shunt, [7]A-V valvular insufficiency.

We are reporting one case of right subclavian vein thrombotic occlusion as a result of previous hemodialysis catheter placement in a patient with a functioning right brachio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula. Its complication was painful right arm swelling, limitation of motion and cellulitis. Diagnosis was confirmed by right subclavian venography and the complication was successfully managed by right subclavian vein-superior vena cava bypass with a GoreTex vascular graft. The arteriovenous fistula had remained to protect patency of the bypass at first, but two months later after the operation, the arteriovenous fistula had to be occluded because of the heart failure resulting from shunt over flow. After ligation of arteriovenous fistula, heart failure improved, and uncomfortable arm swelling did not develop again.
