From April 1990 through June 1990, three patients underwent subclavian flap aortoplasty for relief of the coarctation of the aorta. The age of the patients were 13 days, 7 months and 39 months and their weights were 3.3kg, 6.5kg, and 11kg, respectively. Two patients had persistence of the ductus arteriosus and all patients had associated intracardiac anomalies. We used the technique devised by Mendonca, namely, repair of the coarctation of the aorta using the subclavian artery as a flap and preservation of the arterial blood flow to the left arm. In one patient with long narrowing of isthmus, significant residual pressure gradient was remained by this technique and we added patch aortoplasty. There were no hospital deaths and follow-up over a one year period shows all patients in good condition.

Coarctation of the aorta is classically a congenital narrowing of the upper descending thorac aorta adjacent to the site of attachment of the ductus arteriosus which is sufficiently severe that there is a pressure gradient across the area. Recently we have experienced two cases of coarctation of the aorta and successfully performed resection of the sites of coarctation and end to end anastomosis of the aorta. The first case was a juxtaductal type of coarctation of the aorta with PDA and the pathology of the lesion was a diaphragm with central narrow opening. And the resection length was about 0.5cm and aortic clamping time was 20 minutes. The second case was also juxtaductal type coarctation of the aorta with mild tubular hypoplasia of aortic isthmus, left SVC and the pathology was also a diaphragm with central narrow opening. And the resection length was about 0.5cm and aortic clamping time was 29 minutes. Both postoperative course was uneventful and the patients were discharged two weeks after operation.

APUD cells in the oviduct of the sheep at standing estrus were localized as paraneurons in the lamina propria sandwiched between this structure and the tunica muscularis by the method of masked metachromasia to toluidine blue after hot mineral acid hydrolysis. These were also confirmed by lead haematoxylin stain and argyrophilia. The oviduct was serialized into 66 zones. Cells were absent in the first and last 2 zones, and most parts of the isthmus. There was however abundant number of APUD cells in the ampulla which were fusiform shaped and were about $5{\mu}m$ width and also in the juncture, where the cells were of a smaller width ($3{\mu}m$) and were quite numerous reaching 180-200 in some zones. It is concluded that peptide secreting cells are numerous in the oviduct and that this may qualify the oviduct as an endocrine organ.

Early development of bovine oocytes fertilized in vitro in the medium with caffeine and heparin was examined in different culture systems. When the oocytes were transferred into culture medium 8 h after insemination, 12%(7/60) of penetrated oocytes cleaved to 4-cell stage 24 h after insemination. The proportions of oocytes cleaved to 80to 16-cell stage 48 h after insemination had also a to be higher in oocytes transferred into culture medium 8 h (29%) than 16 h(10%) or 24 h(4%) after insemination. 52% of the 4-cell embryos developed to morula and blastocyst stages when they were co-cultured with oviductal epithelia, whereas only 5% of embryos cultured without the epithelial cells(P<0.001). In another experiment, embryos were co-cultured with ampulla, isthmus or utero-tubal junction of oviducts. There are no significant differences in the proportions of embryos developed to morula and blastocyst stage.

Screw insertion surgery is frequently required among surgical procedures. Especially, very careful attention should be paid to the insertion of screw in the operation of the cervical vertebra. Therefore, there is a need for a guide that allows the surgeon to reliably and promptly perform treatment by calculating the desired insertion angle and length for screw insertion. In this study, the center and direction of the pedicle were calculated through 3D modeling and 3D vector numerical analysis using the CT or MRI image of the patient for the safe operation of the guide, and based on this, After that, we will implement surgical guide based on this.

There are various surgical techniques in repairing Ebstein anomaly, but residual tricuspid regurgitation and compromized right heart function may ensue in some cases. We report our clinical experience of Ebstein anomaly and atrial flutter in a 19-year-old male patient who underwent simple modified tricuspid annuloplasty, hi-directional cavopulmonary shunt and cryoablation of cavotricuspid isthmus.

The purpose of this study is to identificate root canal system including ideal access placement, root curvature, canal configuration, incidence of isthmus in mandibular incisors for success of endodontic treatment. 200 mandibular incisors were selected. The ideal access placement was determimed as follows. The teeth were radiographed from mesiodistal and buccolingual views using intraoral dental film. The image was divided into coronal, middle and apical third using the proximal film. Straight line access was determined by measuring the faciolingual canal width and placing points at midway point between the buccal and lingual wall at the junction of the middle and apical third and at the juntion of coronal and middle third of the root canal.(omitted)

Few patients with traumatic aortic laceration remain undiagnosed and survive long enough to develop a chronic aneurysm. Such aneurysms are frequently asymptomatic: alternatively, they may manifest chest pain, dysphagia, bronchial irritation, or sudden death. A case of aortobronchial fistula secondary to a chronic post-traumatic aneurysm of the aortic isthmus is presented. Hemoptysis was the main sign. The affected segment of the thoracic aorta was repaired with a Hemashield patch and a left upper lobectomy was performed.

Four patients with traumatic rupture of aorta underwent operative repair at Seoul national university hospital. All cases were confirmed by preoperative aortography. Rupture site was aortic isthmus or just distal to it. Operations were somewhat delayed due to the low degree of suspicion and difficulties in diagnosis: ranging from 5 hours to 8 days. Operation was performed as same manners in all cases: resection of the ruptured portion and tubular woven dacron graft interposition in conjunction with shunt or bypass procedures, TDMAC-Heparin shunt between ascending and descending aorta was used in 3 cases, and LA-femoral centrifugal pump was used in one case. There were no intraoperative or postoperative mortality. Hoarseness was developed in all patients but paraplegia or other significant complications were not found in any of patients. We concluded that 1] high degree of suspicion is essential in the early diagnosis and treatment of traumatic aortic rupture and 2] any kind of shunt or bypass procedure is necessary in operative repair of traumatic aortic rupture and use of centrifugal pump without systemic heparinization is easier and safer procedure than others for the maintenance of adequate distal flow.
